With the last 21st century engineers in place, the company began to debug all equipment performance to the point where it was 70 percent ready at breakneck speed. Previously, these devices were only 30 to 40 percent performant. Even if these devices were eliminated in the 21st century Huaguo factory, they were still too advanced and complicated for these 18th-century workers. Xiao Lin and the others, except for Qu Zhenguo, don't know very much.

And Qu Zhenguo, a factory veteran, also has too many things to do. There's no way, who called Xiao Lin's mother Zhang Yaling unreliable, only Qu Zhenguo is in charge to prevent a few inexperienced boys from making mistakes. Usually these workers just read books and follow the video to learn, Qu Zhenguo only takes a lesson to them when he is free to solve their doubts. It's just that Qu Zhenguo is alone, and the company's workers are tens of thousands, so he can't take care of it at all.

This time it's good, in total, there are more than 90 skilled workers, and more than a dozen of them have also obtained the qualification of senior engineers. Even if you are not a particularly outstanding talent in the 21st century, there is absolutely no problem in teaching these people in the 18th century. The company has a total of 15 workshops and factories, each of which has opened several large training courses, and takes turns to train workers every day. According to the statistics, at most half a year, these people will be able to operate the equipment proficiently.

If the industry is formalized, then people's livelihood will naturally be affected well. In particular, this is a light industrial factory, and the products produced are closely related to everyone's lives. Sholin now no longer needs to source convenience food from the 21st century, and can make it in his own factory, which frees up a lot of space. And it is clothes, in addition to some extremely high-end clothes used as town treasures, rewards or gifts, they have to be purchased from the 21st century, ordinary denim clothes, cotton clothes and ordinary suits, the company can also produce its own.

Xiao Lin deliberately checked it, and the quality was not bad, not much worse than what was made in the 21st century. Even, in the next step, the company will be able to produce various types of bicycles on its own, so that after choosing, there are three categories of things that disappear from Xiao Lin's purchase list. Xiao Lin took advantage of this opportunity to purchase back a batch of engineering equipment eliminated by the military department. In the country of China, there is an engineering corps, which mainly belongs to the railway soldiers, and even now, the establishment of the railway soldiers is still retained.

Naturally, there will also be a lot of engineering equipment left. Some of them were released for civilian use during the reform and opening up, and some of the friendly forces that supported Pakistan and the Middle East and Africa in the back, and now, only a batch of equipment from 02 years in the army is about to be eliminated. With the frantic maintenance level of the Chinese army, these machinery and equipment can be used for another ten years if they are refurbished. However, it can't be digested in China, except for some township enterprises, who still looks down on these old things.

The military approached Xiao Lin, originally trying to see if he could sell it to Sorento, but Xiao Lin ate it all. Sorento didn't say anything later, and they did look down on these old devices a little bit. Xiao Lin paid a little more money, and this batch of various construction equipment, which amounted to about 1,000 people, enough to support the construction of a small town of 500,000 people, all arrived on the company's land in July 1720.

The reason for buying these equipment is that Xiao Lin decided to officially expand the company's five small towns into small towns that can accommodate at least 100,000 people. This was developed to coincide with the company's next expansion plan. Xiao Lin felt that the company could not be like the British and French, the people's settlements were too scattered, and the overall strength was strong, but it was always broken by others. Xiao Lin is absolute, every city, there must be at least 100,000 civilians, and there must be 5,000 regular troops plus armed police to garrison before the next settlement can be divided.

In this way, even if it is besieged by the enemy's army, the strength of a city can hold out until the arrival of reinforcements. For the planning of the future city, Xiao Lin chose to choose and choose, or did not adopt the ancient style of walled cities or fortresses, but adopted the modern urban construction plan. Of course, some defenses are indispensable. The city walls are no longer suitable, but the watchtowers are very practical. The whole city, defended by six watchtowers, in the shape of a six-pointed star. This is not to do any demon summoning ritual, but it is the most economical and practical.

The six watchtowers were next to each other, and any enemy army that passed between them would be flanked by watchtower fire. The watchtower is relatively large, which can accommodate the army of 500 people, a seven-storey, five-story machine guns, and the sixth and seventh floors are equipped with direct-fire artillery, which is a bit nondescript, but after many verifications, such defensive facilities are not something that the British and French in this era can break. The first to start construction were the towns of Victory and Start, which were on the periphery of the ruling area.

As the head and tail of the bridge, the safety of both sides must be ensured first. Using the technology of 21st century reinforced concrete, it will be almost completed by the beginning of 21 years. The arsenal of the Republic of Beran has also been producing machines and front-loading rifled guns that can fire directly. Xiao Lin returned to the 21st century after arranging for 10 workers who were quite knowledgeable about machinery and equipment to train a group of equipment operators. This time, he rushed directly to the Republic of Beran.

In the arsenal, there was good news again. It wasn't the heavy-fist three-type artillery that was manufactured, since there were those three thousand two hundred large-caliber howitzers, Xiao Lin didn't look down on the heavy-fist three-type guns. The reason why I have been supporting it before is also to form the company's unique artillery manufacturing process system. Zhao Menghai and Yu Wei are also really powerful, when Xiao Lin decided to start this project, they completed the manufacture of the sample gun, and after the test firing, the performance was not bad. However, there was no more manufacturing in the future.

The Heavy Fist Type 1 and Heavy Fist 2 have trained a number of qualified artillery for the company, and the slightly deformed front-loading rifled guns of the Heavy Fist 3 Type are not necessary. The information of the heavy punch three styles has been well preserved as the company's scientific and technological reserves. Zhao Menghai received a large bonus from Xiao Lin, and joined the task of copying and manufacturing shells for the Type 54 122mm howitzer. Zhao Menghai is a smart person, and he has taken out a lot of good things from the engineers hired by those companies, and now he can go to the Huaguo Military Factory to be an engineer.

After all, the Type 54 is a product of the fifties in China, and it is an imitation of the heavy artillery that appeared in the Soviet Union for a long time. The scientific and technological content is not particularly high, and it does not exceed the technology of the Second World War era. After more than 20 rounds of each shell were dismantled in a row, the imitation process was finally completed. It's just that the charge must be a little less, otherwise there may be problems with the group's process, and the performance of the cannon can only play about 80%. However, in the 18th century, it was still a weapon of the outer star.

Of course, if it were just that, Sholin wouldn't be very happy. After all, it's just the imitation process of basic shells and a few not very complicated shells, and it is not the imitation process of cannons. These cannons, or use one less one. What Xiao Lin was most happy about was that the medium-caliber mortar, named the Assault II 82mm mortar, which had been developed all along, had finally been manufactured as a prototype gun and began to be test-fired.

The Assault II mortar is copied from the Huaguo Type 67 82mm mortar. This is also an old antique, but it was destroyed a lot at the beginning, and mortars are not cannons, even if they are backward and can no longer be used on the frontal battlefield, they can also be used to fight guerrillas, and they have long been sold by the state. Xiao Lin used his connections and the skin of the Republic of Beran to buy the production process. Naturally, this matter was hidden from Sorento. After all, this kind of mortar, and the ability to pose a threat to their troops, it is very likely that they will not allow Xiao Lin to have this kind of power in his hands.

However, the company's technical strength was still too poor, and it did not completely copy the Type 67 82-mm artillery run. Originally, the data of Type 67 was a caliber of 82 mm, a full gun weight of 35 kg, a gun body of 13 kg, a gun carriage weighing 10 kg, a seat sheet weight of 12 kg, a gun body length of 1220 mm, a grenade full weight of 3.16 kg, a muzzle velocity of 211 m / s, a rate of fire of 25 rounds / min, a maximum firing range of 3040 m, a minimum firing range of 85 meters, a high and low firing range of 45 degrees - 85 degrees, a directional firing range of 3 degrees on the left and right, and the number of artillery squads was 8.

The final parameters of the Assault II mortar manufactured by the company are only equivalent to the Type 67 predecessor Type 53 82 mm mortar. Not only is it heavier, it is less accurate, but it also has a shorter range. Of course, Sholin happily encouraged the engineers, and then asked the arsenal to complete the corresponding manufacturing equipment as soon as possible, and he was to ship it to 1720 to produce. There are too many people from the Republic of Beran in the arsenal, and one of them is Zalkam's spies.

Produced directly in the arsenal, Zarqam will definitely know about it, and then come to interfere. It's better to wait a little longer, ship the equipment to the company, and then produce it yourself. Assemble some equipment machine tools, and there is no reason for Zalkam to stop it. Anyway, they are all made separately, and I don't see more than 40% of the equipment, so I really can't see what it does. As long as Raider II officially joins the army, then the big battle can begin.

Some people may not know why there are 82mm caliber mortars, and why howitzers have 122mm and 152mm calibers, instead of 80mm, 120mm and 150mm. This is the cunning of the Russians, this set-up, as long as the enemy's shells are captured, can be used directly. However, the enemy captured their shells, but they had to give up because they could not fit into the breech.
