Chapter 266: Metal-shelled bullets, smokeless gunpowder

Before Amos left, Luo Yin brought them a lot of things, not only vodka, but also red wine, beer, and ...... All kinds of sugar!

Amos actually had a sweet tooth, but he preferred to drink wine to sweets.

After coming to Tulip Manor, he knew that Luo Yin had a tulip candy industry that specialized in producing sugar, but he didn't know much about it other than the name.

And now, when he saw and tasted the white sugar, rock candy, and gem candy in person, he was immediately very surprised, thinking that this kind of sugar was not available in their Frost Empire!

Especially after hearing that these sugars were developed by Luo Yin, he was even more impressed by Luo Yin.

Luo Yin not only understands wine, but also understands sugar!

Amos regretted that he hadn't known about the tulip industry sooner.

At this time, it was already the eve of leaving, and he had not had time to taste it confidently, and he had no time to exchange ideas with Luo Yin about eating candy, so he was about to leave. It's a bit of a pity......

Sugar is different from vodka, Luo Yin has a lot of sugar, and he generously gave Amos a bunch directly.

At the same time, Luo Yin also asked Amos to take a part of the sugar and sell it to the Frost Empire. He set the price, and it doesn't have to be too expensive, as long as it is higher than the cost of sugar plus the price of transportation.

Whether it's wine or sugar, Luo Yin doesn't care how much money he makes, what he cares about is making a reputation. To put it simply, it is whether it can be popular.

As long as the reputation can rise, it will be on fire. Then it will be very convenient when Luo Yin goes to the Frost Empire, and he may not even have to go to the Frost Empire to earn money over there.

Amos was immediately moved when he looked at so many supplies.

Luo Yin handed over these priceless things to him, this is a sign of trust!

In addition to these supplies, Luo Yin also asked Amos for one thing.

Then ask him to check if there were any things like the migration of local forces or the collapse of the family in the Frost Empire about sixteen to twenty years ago.

Although Luo Yin felt that Misha was unlikely to be from the Frost Empire, after all, this was too far away, but since there was this possibility, he would definitely try to check it.

Amos was a little curious about what Luo Yincha was doing, but he didn't ask much. He said that there was no problem, and as soon as there was news in the future, he would contact Luo Yin immediately.

However, it is not easy to contact the United Kingdom of Stokato from the Frost Empire, which is more troublesome than contacting the United Kingdom of Stokato from the Empire of the Wolf.

In between, you have to pass through countless small countries and go through countless transits. Even if they are connected, it is estimated that the delay will be scary to death.

Amos told Luo Yin that when he had time in the future, he must go to the Frost Empire, and with his few kinds of wine and sugar, he would definitely be able to occupy a place in the Frost Empire!

At that point, he could have made a direct connection line himself.

Luo Yin naturally smiled and nodded and said Okay, he will definitely go to the Frost Empire if he has the chance.

However, the distance from here to the Frost Empire is farther than going to the Sky Wolf Empire, and the environment of the Frost Empire is very harsh, so you have to be prepared before you go.

Before that, he planned to go to the Sky Wolf Empire first. After all, the Sirius Empire has a better environment, is safer, closer to the United Kingdom of Stokato, and also has acquaintances.

….

Of course, this is just a plan.

If he really found out about Misha in the Frost Empire, then he might change his plans and go to the Frost Empire first.

Amos departed.

When he left, he was a little reluctant, not only because of the good wine here, but also because he made a friend like Luo Yin.

Although he also knew that Luo Yin chose to help him because he saw the benefits, he was willing to approach Luo Yin, so why not be the same.

In these more than ten days of contact, he can probably find out what kind of person Luo Yin is. To put it simply: Luo Yin is very smart, but he doesn't cheat his own people.

also saw Luo Yin's personality, and Amos also chose not to hide it and became friends with Luo Yin.

He lost a lot in this operation, though

A lot of friends, but it's good to be able to make a true friend.

……

After Amos and his party left, Luo Yin began to be busy with the Qiongbi Vodka Company, which had just been established not long ago.

Soon, vodka was listed in Qiongbi City, Nujiang City and other places.

However, the sales situation is similar to what Luo Yin guessed before, after the vodka was launched, although because of Luo Yin's reputation, the sales of vodka were not low. But compared to red wine and beer, it is still a lot lower.

As for the evaluation, it is somewhat polarized, and some people dislike it too high, and they get drunk as soon as they drink it. Some people think that real men should drink this kind of liquor.

Overall, it's okay, above the standard line, but it's not amazing enough. Compared with some of Luo Yin's previous big moves, it was a little worse.

[Recommended,@

And what does it matter to the people of the empire.

Until now, Luo Yin has sent people away, and everyone still doesn't know what's going on. So hurry up and ask about the situation now.

Even the minister representing Ken vaguely revealed to Luo Yin that if Luo Yin's method could continue to be used and he could win other places, he could cooperate with Chief Ken, and Luo Yin's benefits would be indispensable.

It's just that in the face of this temptation, Luo Yin decisively refused.

Because there's no such thing as that.

So he casually made an excuse and perfunctory.

This made the minister very aggrieved, but there was no way, Luo Yin was reluctant to say it, he couldn't force Luo Yin to say it.

Although he ruthlessly rejected the prime minister's request for cooperation, Luo Yin didn't care at all.

He is now a good citizen who pays his taxes on time and abides by the law. Don't give anyone a chance to attack him, not even the prime minister.

The overall situation in the country is good, and the situation in the Yali colony is also very good. Lunn also deliberately gave Luo Yin a false name as the governor of Yali.

also said that when he went back and made money, he would build a governor's palace for Luo Yin.

Luo Yin smiled and said that these were all bells and whistles, but he didn't refuse.

Of course, that's all after making money. Now because the veins have not been mined, there is no money to be made for the time being.

However, after another month, the equipment and manpower of each company are in place. The Jali region will be able to generate stable income.

And in terms of area, there is a high probability that the income will exceed that of Shuguang Company! Unless all of these mines are garbage, which is not possible, because several bonanzas have been discovered so far!

….

Mines of steaming stone and burning sand have even been found!

These two things are the key energy sources for the miniaturization of the steam engine, which is no worse than the big gold mine!

And, due to its geographical location, the United Kingdom of Stokato and its neighbouring countries are free of vapor stone and burning sand mines. They are less rare here than gold!

This kind of mine was kept by Luo Yin and prepared to mine it himself. With these things, it would be possible to use more intercoms, and it was not impossible to even popularize telephones in the kingdom.

And you can also let the dwarves try to study small engines or something. When the time comes, more elaborate steam cars can be made......

When Shuguang saw the situation in Yali, especially the steamed stone and burning sand mine, they were red-eyed!

Of these two mines, they are not available in Breka.

But there was no way, the red eyes could only watch, and no one dared to make a move on Luo Yin.

Since you can't make a move, you can only cooperate.

The senior management of the domestic Shuguang company often goes to Qiongbi City. is to ask Luo Yin if he can cooperate in mining or something. They asked Luo Yin what he needed, and they could even exchange a certain amount of shares for it.

Stocks or something, Luo Yin doesn't care very much. After all, it is difficult for the stock price of Sugon to rise as high as before.

And Luo Yin is not short of shares in Shuguang Company, although he only has 0.5% in his hands, he now controls the resources of the royal family. The royal family has 15% of the shares in his hands and is the second largest shareholder of Shuguang Company!

So to some extent, Luo Yin can also be regarded as the second largest shareholder of Shuguang Company.

But I don't care, since they are all major shareholders of Shuguang Company, then Luo Yin naturally has to help his own company.

Therefore, there are still discussions on cooperation, but to what extent it can be cooperated, it depends on how the senior management of Shuguang Company decides.

……

Waters hadn't contacted Luo Yin for a long time, and suddenly contacted him that day.

Luo Yin immediately put down the things in his hand and ran over.

Every time Waters contacts him, it is a good thing, and Luo Yin feels that this time should be no exception. Sure enough, Waters told him that it was the metal bullet that had been developed!

When he saw those yellow bullets, Luo Yin almost thought that he had traveled back.

Waters said with a smile:

"I have to say, in this little bullet, there is still so much knowledge! We also studied it for a long time before we were able to get it out. But that's still a little worse than the bullets you gave......

Luo Yin carefully compared. Compared to the bullets he took out of the blue vortex, there were indeed some differences and details that were quite different. But as long as the function is the same, it doesn't hurt.

"Haha, that's okay, that's enough!"

Luo Yin laughed.

With the current level of technology, Waters is already very powerful if they can rub such a bullet with their hands.

"But speaking of which, this kind of bullet is good, but the cost is too high, if you use this kind of bullet to fight, it will be really expensive!"

Even people like Waters, who don't care about money, don't know what to say after seeing the cost of this bullet.

….

The cartridge casings of these metal-shelled bullets are made of brass.

Brass can be made into copper coins, so there is nothing wrong with saying that this is really burning money.

The cost of such a copper-shelled bullet is fifteen to twenty-five yuan, and the more it is manufactured, the lower the cost. But the minimum will not be less than fifteen dollars.

In a compromise, according to twenty yuan, it is equivalent to the salary of an ordinary worker after the current salary increase.

And the paper shell bullets they made before cost less than two yuan.

As for the breech guns used, the kind that pours gunpowder from the barrel, it costs a dollar for a shot.

In such a comparison, the gap is too big!

"War, it's money!"

Luo Yin is not surprised. After all, as soon as the cannon goes off, there are ten thousand taels of gold.

Waters went on to say:

"And I don't feel like there's any need for a metal-hulled bullet...... Because the gunpowder we make is completely different from the gunpowder in the bullet you gave, as if the power is not as strong as the bullet you give. We don't use metal shell bullets, we use paper shell bullets and it's perfectly fine......

After hearing this, Luo Yin said with a smile:

"It's really not necessary, because our gunpowder is black, and the gunpowder in my bullets is smokeless. Black powder is not as powerful as smokeless gunpowder, so there is no need for metal-shelled bullets at all. And the reason why I make these metal-shelled bullets is actually for smokeless gunpowder......

"I see...... Smokeless gunpowder ......"

Waters was stunned.

When he tested the bullets given by Luo Yin, he found that the bullets were very fast and had no smoke. Unlike other guns, the smoke from a single shot can be seen for miles away.

It turns out that this is called smokeless gunpowder!

"What do you want to do with smokeless gunpowder?"

Waters hastened to speak.

Smokeless gunpowder with metal-shelled bullets, this is the real big killer!

Luo Yin didn't know anything about smokeless gunpowder, but he happened to get a book explaining guns and ammunition from the blue vortex some time ago, which had a detailed introduction, and he remembered it all in his mind.

So Luo Yin organized the language and said:

"I know something about this. There are three main components of smokeless gunpowder, namely nitrocellulose, ether, ethanol and diphenylamine. Nitrocellulose, also known as nitrocellulose, is an explosive substance obtained by soaking cotton with nitric acid, but it is chemically unstable and easily explosive, so it needs to be dissolved in a mixed liquid of ether and ethanol, and an appropriate amount of diphenylamine needs to be added as a stabilizer to form a gum and then dry and slice it......

Listening to these nouns that he had never heard before, Waters was stunned, what was this talking about?

"Oh, sorry, you may not understand too much, then I'll explain to you what nitrocellulose is and what ether is......

After more than an hour of explanation, Waters probably understood what these things do.

As for whether it is true or false, you have to get the raw materials and try it to know.

"The next thing you want to focus on is to put no smoke in the fire

The medicine is out, smokeless gunpowder with metal-shelled bullets, this is a big killer!"

Luo Yin looked at Waters and said.

"Haha, I understand!"

….

Waters is thrilled, this is definitely another epoch-making invention!

He looked at Luo Yin's gaze as if he was looking at a treasure trove.

Luo Yin felt that when he saw Waters, Waters could surprise him. And why not Waters too? Every time he sees Luo Yin, Luo Yin can surprise him!

At first, there was a naval revolver that could fire continuously, then a breech-loading, a shooter gun designed to lie on its stomach, and then a metal-shelled bullet...... Now it's about how to make smokeless gunpowder!

No matter what kind of thing is taken out alone, it will go down in history, but Luo Yin took so many at once......

Waters felt that their group of dwarves could be regarded as having been stained with Luo Yin's light, and there would definitely be their names in history in the future!

However, Waters' shock was not over, as Luo Yin gave him another hint.

"Now that the metal-shelled bullets have come out, what do you think would happen if the metal-shelled bullets were made into cannonballs?"

"Cannonballs?"

Waters was stunned.

Nowadays, many cannons are still breech guns, which are just round iron balls, or the kind where the shotgun barrel is put through the barrel.

So Waters didn't react for a while.

"Yes, if you magnify this metal-shelled bullet and magnify the gun, isn't that just a cannon?"

Luo Yin said with a smile.

「…… It seems to be! I didn't think of that!"

Waters slapped his thigh in excitement.

If you can really enlarge a metal-shelled bullet into a cannonball, it may be more powerful than all the cannons!

If nothing else, let's talk about the speed of fire.

Breech-loaded shells shoot slowly, but if you can make a metal-shelled shell, it will be as fast as a gun!

Maybe you've already fired several shells before someone else has loaded a shell!

Another epoch-making invention?

Waters even wanted to let Luo Yin go so that he could continue to devote himself to his research.

However, Luo Yin didn't leave, but took out a few wooden-handled grenades.

"What is this?"

Waters asked, curiously.

"Good stuff."

Calling all the dwarves, Luo Yin demonstrated the use of grenades in front of them.

Just listen to the bang.

The dwarves are petrified.

A moment later, the sound of chirping sounded.

"Is this a cannon?"

"That's a bit powerful!"

"Good stuff!"

Luo Yin looked at the wooden-handled grenade in his hand, and was very satisfied.

"It's a grenade, a weapon for individual combat, and it's okay for you to understand it as a cannon......

Luo Yin told all the knowledge he saw in the book.

After reading a few books, he now belongs to the king of the mouth. It can be said, but it can't be made.

And the dwarves like Waters are hands-on and smart.

So Luo Yin told everything he knew, and he didn't say if he could make it, at least he had to pass on the knowledge to them.

The grenade is not forced, and it doesn't matter if you can't make it, but it's a surprise to make it.

Suddenly obtained smokeless ***, new cannonball concept and grenade production method plus the real thing, Waters was excited, and he immediately pulled everyone to study it together.

….

After Luo Yin told them to pay attention to safety, he walked around this kind of house.

In addition to the metal-shelled bullets, the dwarves also made a number of firearms and supporting machines for the manufacture of firearms.

Looking at these exquisite firing pin guns, Luo Yin thought about whether it was or not

It's ready for sale.

But after thinking about it, Luo Yin decided to wait.

Because smokeless gunpowder has not yet been manufactured, metal shell bullets and paper shell bullets use black powder, which is actually about the same.

If he sells these firing pin guns that are used in paper shell bullets, then he will not have an absolute advantage.

Only when smokeless gunpowder is made and the real metal-shelled bullet is completed, then he can be considered a generation ahead of the technology.

Anyway, he is not very short of money now, so he can wait a little longer.

But then again, although you can't sell it yet, you can arm your own people!

Luo Yin now has a lot of soldiers in his hands.

There were 500 musketeers in Nujiang City and more than 10,000 soldiers in Panshan City. The royal guards of the royal palace also had a good relationship with him, plus Heti controlled more than 300 police officers in the entire city of Jumbich......

If these people are equipped with new weapons, their combat effectiveness will definitely be greatly improved.

Of course, Luo Yin didn't have that many guns now, so it was impossible to arm them all.

After thinking about it carefully, Luo Yin planned to arm a team of 100 people first to see how the effect was.

He transferred a hundred people directly from the five hundred musketeers of the Iris Company to Qiongbi City.

These hundred people were the best of the musketeers, no weaker than the average soldier, and of course, much worse than the elite soldiers trained by Morris. However, the elite soldiers under Luo Yin have not yet completed their training, so there is no need to consider them for the time being.

Soon, these hundred orc men arrived in Qiongbi City by train.
