"What a sad story. Please write him a letter quickly, so that he can atone for your sins by working for you. After all, you are the one who wants to get the dividends." Alphonse replied with a sincere face.

"You're right. I'll write it right away and take it to the Chamber of Commerce early tomorrow morning to mail it out. He will receive the letter in half a month at most." Yasuo nodded.

"Chamber of Commerce? Can they deliver letters quickly?" Alphonse asked in a daze. He was having a headache on how to deliver information quickly!

"It's hard to say, because chambers of commerce in the same industry can generally only bring letters when delivering goods to places where there are also chambers of commerce. For example, if I want to send a letter to Porto, I have to go to Boulogne. And the recipient must have

The exact delivery address is also very expensive. It costs 50 livres to send a letter to Porto. If I couldn't leave, I wouldn't send the letter at all." Yasuo curled his lips and complained.

Alphonse was also helpless. It sounded like this was a drop-in service. Although it was faster because it was a fast ship, for a letter of 50 livres, the profit was not more than 100 livres. Delivering the letter was a loss.

Business. No wonder Darren Desai would rather let Boko Andal go there in person and send a tip of 50 livres directly to Boko Andal. Can't he send two letters at once? And he can also send it to Spain.

People lead the way and hand over goods...

After dinner, Alphonse revised the design drawing of the gun truck and gave it to Yasuo for fine-tuning. He sat in the living room with a glass of wine and chatted with Badis: "These two days have been

Are you in the workshop? How are the new prototypes?"

"Yasuo wants to modify the drawings." Badis said helplessly: "He insisted that casting the cannon this time allowed him to break through the bottleneck. He wanted to change the cannon to be more perfect. For the past two days, he has been working alone with the entire project.

Everyone in the square is noisy."

"How does he plan to modify it?" Alphonse felt that Yasuo might be telling the truth. Like today's design drawings, he could see the problem at a glance and improved the design very realistically. At least Alphonse was told by him.

It’s completely impossible to refute!

"First of all, in addition to the bell mouth, he has to lengthen the upper half of the cannon and re-cast the cannon into a straight tube. Then from the lug to the bottom, he has to change it into a straight tube until the last third.

inch thickening, that is, the thickness of this part of the barrel is thinned, because it was originally a two-stage thickening of 08-1.5 inches;

Finally, there is the gun mount. He also needs to change it, increasing the thickness from 1 inch to 2.5 inches. Although thickening is a good thing, the bottom is too heavy, and the muzzle of the gun is very easy to tilt back when firing, which is very dangerous." Buddy.

Si said helplessly: "What's even more troublesome is that he also plans to add a straight beam to the cannon. He said that the cannon lug should be replaced with a straight beam to fix it, so that the cannon will not jump, but the whole thing will be tight."

Stick to the gun carriage."

Alphonse opened his mouth but found it difficult to speak. If he hadn't come from the future, it would be really hard for him to imagine that Yasuo, a rough guy, could figure out how to cancel the rigid connection of the artillery and create a flexible connection! If it were true

He designed it. In fact, there is no need to design slide rails for Alphonse's gun carriage, because the tube annealing cannon is much more stable than the body annealing cannon, and even the angle adjuster can be directly designed on the elastically connected U-shaped connecting rail.

Up...

Of course, with the design proposed by Yasuo, the difficulty of casting alone can kill people. First of all, the straight pipe is a problem. Secondly, the incremental thickness is also very difficult to design. Finally, there is the cast beam. This fin-like protrusion has to support the entire three-dimensional structure.

Segmented artillery does not deform under recoil, and the requirements for steel are also difficult to kill countless people. Yes, it must be steel. If cast iron is used to make such a beam, it will break with just one shot, and it will still explode with the next shot.

Chamber!

As a result, Alphonse cannot support Yasuo, but he still needs to consider the improvements that can be absorbed. For example, straight pipes, although very difficult, can still be made straighter than the original cone shape, so that the gunpowder can be used more effectively.

The rate will also be higher;

The second is the three-stage thickening. Alfons believes that the tilt angle thickening can be designed in one step. Although it saves a part of the weight of the gun body, the biggest advantage is that the beam can be designed, and then the gun carriage can be developed accordingly.

, using a tube retreat design, integrated angle adjuster, and a pulley block.

With such a mandatory fixed combination, the imitators must be able to produce artillery and gun carriages at the same time, otherwise their gun carriages will not be easy to sell! And similarly, the anti-recoil gun carriages used by Alphonse do not have the effects of height changes.

The angle is off.

"I'm going to go talk to Yasuo." The more Alphonse thought about it, the more he thought it could be considered, so he ran to find Yasuo without hesitation. The two cobblers suddenly found a common topic, and no one knew it.

Three new designs were completed at one time:

The first one is a general-purpose gun carriage. The additional transmission gear of the angle adjuster is canceled and the angle is directly adjusted by a large wheel. Anyway, changes in height will also cause deviations in the shooting angle. In this way, the processing difficulty is almost zero and the cost is very controllable; <

/p>

In addition, the tilt angle was re-increased to 30 degrees. After all, other people's guns are much heavier than his, and they still have to rely on the recoil of gravity. In this way, the recoil is better, although the shooting accuracy is reduced by more than 30%.

But it doesn’t prevent Alphonse from selling money at all!

The second one is a new 16-pounder gun. First, the caliber was modified a little. Considering that the legal 16-pounder should be caliber 16-pounder, Alfons specially modified the muzzle size to 12.8cm. Even if the gun body is self-tightening, the maximum

It is 13cm, which is definitely not up to the 13.3cm of the standard 18-pounder. However, because of the inclined design inside, the inner diameter is still 15cm, which is still enough to fire general-purpose 18-pound shells.

The second is the length of the barrel. Alphonse has eliminated the rear seat protrusion, but still maintains a length of 320cm, which is 12cm longer than the barrel of the first gun.

Then there is the overall barrel thickness and tilt angle design. The thickest at the bottom can reach a caliber thickness of 15cm, while the smallest diameter of the gun is only 6cm. Because it is a round body, the beam can also be added and cast directly in one piece.

It is U-shaped, and the gun lugs are greatly reduced into two rings.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

In this way, the weight of the artillery is slightly increased to 3600 pounds, but both its power and sturdiness are increased by at least 10%!

The third part is a customized 16-pound gun carriage. A W-shaped rail is used to connect the U-shaped beam of the gun. The lower part is connected to an angle adjuster with a variable speed gear set. The gun lug is connected in series with 4 muzzles with 3 pulley sets each. The total system is

The recoil reaches 1800 pounds! Excluding the weight of the artillery and the weight of the gun carriage, the total recoil of the entire artillery is still controlled within 2400 pounds!

In other words, if Alphonse builds this artillery and the gun carriage together, then not only the Flutter merchant ship can be fully equipped with 17 16-pound cannons, but also the lower-level Clark can be fully equipped with 13 16-pound cannons

No need to worry about capsizing!

"This is a great masterpiece! The great Master Yasuo will go down in history because of this cannon!" Yasuo shouted loudly.

"Okay, then when it's built, we'll call it Chris Cannon!" Alphonse smiled, but thinking in his heart, if the naming rights are given to you, you will be embarrassed to split with me...

"Really? Then... how much can a complete set like this be sold for?" Yasuo still did not forget to divide the money.

"I think it's more appropriate to sell it for 1,500 livres. For this reason, you can get 30 livres for each door." Alphonse thought for a while and quoted a low price, but Yasuo had no intention of arguing and started chattering instead.

: "How to improve our production speed? We may need hundreds of artillery pieces ourselves..."

Coming out of Yasuo's room, Alphonse was calculating how many cannons he could equip the Security Chamber of Commerce's ship with, while rubbing his increasingly swollen temples; from yesterday to now, his brain had barely had a good rest, and he was

I completed a business plan and the first six design drawings one after another. I really don’t know whether I came to this world to conquer the world or to suffer.

At this time, An's voice came from behind him: "You actually stayed at Yasuo's place until now?"

"Hey, Ann, you're not asleep yet?" Alphonse turned around with a wry smile.

"Hell, you think I'm you? It's already the second day, okay?" An rolled his eyes and said breathlessly. Alfonson was stunned for a moment, and looked up out of the window. Sure enough, it was already dawn, and he

I worked overtime all night...

"Okay, I feel like I'm going to die. If I don't go back to sleep, I won't be able to see the sun tomorrow." Alphonse rubbed his temples and continued: "Today, you remember to go to the Otong family, um, let Alfred

It would be better if you go with me, sir."

"Go to bed quickly, I know what to do." An said with a dark face, pushing Alphonse all the way to the door of his room.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you." Alphonse hugged her gently, turned around, opened the door and entered the room, then turned back and said, "The brooch goes well."

"Go to bed quickly!" An used her hand to cover the brooch she was wearing, the brooch given to her by Alphonse, and ordered again with a dark face.

"Okay, good night." Alphonse smiled bitterly, closed the door and threw himself on the bed...

"The brooch goes well with your clothes, Miss Charles." When Ann found Alfred, Alfred greeted him with a squinted smile.

"Oh, thank you. Alphonse asked me to go to the Oton family to make an assessment of their hotel and tavern assets. I need your help, Mr. Alfred." An replied with a slight blush.

Tao.

"With pleasure, you go and have breakfast. I'll ask Old Anda to prepare the carriage. After you finish the meal, I will go with you. On the way, I will also tell you about the Otong family and yesterday.

What a reward for your visit." Alfred smiled, Ann nodded and went to have breakfast, but before they even left the house, an unexpected guest came to their door: little William Desai!

"Sorry to bother you, Mr. Alfred, is Brother Alphonse here?" Little William hurried in and asked.

"What's wrong?" An asked.

"Hello, Miss Charles, my cousin came from Paris and wants to meet brother Alphonse." Little William said quickly.

"Is it Sir Philip Desai?" Alfred next to him asked.

"Well, do you know each other?" Little William looked at Alfred in disbelief. After all, the two of them didn't seem to be communicating with each other at all.

"Phili? Colonel Desai is your cousin?" Bardis, who was also present next to him, also interrupted.

"You also know my cousin?" Little William was even more confused.

"He and I were classmates at the Artillery Academy." Badis nodded and said, "But after graduation, he went to the Army and I went to the Navy, so we haven't seen each other since."

"Some time ago, he also purchased four rapid-fire guns through Mr. Desai, and also asked about city defense guns and army guns. The master asked me to leave his contact information and contact him again when we launch artillery suitable for the army.

"Alfred also answered simply and concisely.

"Oh, so he came to our house this time for artillery?" Little William nodded in confusion: "I thought it was because of the law school."

"Law school?" Badis looked at little William strangely and said.

"Yes, brother Alphonse recommended me to enroll in law school this September. Brother Feili scolded me and said he would send me to the artillery academy and meet brother Alphonse." Little William was embarrassed.

Tao.

"Bardis, Alphonse and Yasuo have been studying the blueprints all night. If you have nothing to do, why not go with William first and let Alphonse wake up before letting him go?" An thought for a while.

He opened his mouth and suggested.

"Yeah, that's okay." Bardis nodded, then looked at Alfred and said: "When Fili was at the artillery academy, he met a female law student. He spent a lot of time on it, but that female student
