Chapter 189 Machine Guns and Breech-loading Cannons

Midiller pointed to a white room and said, "There is the responsibility for machine guns and the development of pistols. The pistols can be produced on a large scale. Do you want to go and see them?"

Everyone followed Li Yunzhong to the white house. Midile explained to Li Yunzhong: "The concept of machine gun proposed by His Majesty surprised us. After research and design by gun experts, the model design of the barrel has been completed. I estimate that it will take at least half a year to

The first machine gun can be made.”

Midile asked the chief machine gun designer Ballfa to lead everyone to visit the machine gun model he designed.

A large barrel with a thick calf is placed on the legs, and there are six small barrels inside the barrel. Behind the barrel is a plate made of bullet chains, the thick ore design looks murderous.

Li Yunzhong imagined the scene of machine gun firing. On the battlefield, the enemy was frightened and flesh and blood flew everywhere. The Han army easily won the victory and couldn't help laughing.

Ballfa pointed to the gun and explained to Li Yunzhong: "This is based on the drawings drawn by His Majesty. We described the scene of machine gun firing according to His Majesty, and added six barrels to it, so that the firing can be carried out in the wrong way, and during the cycle,

, the fired barrel can automatically eject the empty shell and cycle it until a plate of bullets is finished."

Li Yunzhong praised Ball: "The idea is very good. This is not only equivalent to the sum of the vitality of the six rifles. Add a reader firing needle into each barrel. Soldiers can fire continuously as long as they rotate the crank at a constant speed."

Ball said proudly: "A machine gun can withstand the firepower of the previous company. He changed the way of war. Machine guns are a nightmare for group charges. Cavalry will never be used for their use. Congratulations to your Majesty, as far as I know, no one in Europe has yet.

Propose the theory of machine guns.”

Midile watched for a long time and realized: "This machine gun has no technical content at all, and it can be copied by any country. I suggest you apply for a patent as soon as possible."

Li Yunzhong stroked the cold barrel and nodded: "Since you want to apply for a patent, you need a loud name, just call it the Emperor Machine Gun."

Emperor machine gun? Midile chewed on this strange name and praised: "This proves to be a machine gun invented by His Majesty the Emperor!"

Li Yunzhong left the machine gun R&D room with excitement. Unexpectedly, not only did he get a complete gun today, but the machine gun also made progress in deciding the name of the machine gun. Ball concluded that the machine gun could be put into production within half a year.

The guide pointed to a workshop with reading skills in the distance and advised Li Yunzhong: "Your Majesty, there is a place for cannons, but there is a batch of explosives stored in the warehouse. I suggest that Your Majesty not go, it is too dangerous there."

Li Yunzhong looked at a cannon placed at the door of the workshop and replied seriously: "I have seen something more dangerous. This cannon is a good thing. I must take a look at it myself to rest assured."

Zhang Suimu and Lin Daji visited the workshop where the grenades were made, and happened to meet with Li Yunzhong here.

Midile called the chief officer here and introduced to Li Yunzhong and others: "This is an artillery expert, Alphrod, a Prussian. He is proficient in various artillery. Since he came to work in the arsenal, he has devoted all kinds of artillery techniques.

After being taught, the first artillery was made in less than half a month, three months earlier than I expected.”

Alfred bowed to Li Yunzhong and said, "Dear Your Majesty, I am the master of the Krupp family. The military department sent me to China for internship. Because only in this way can I allow me to build an arsenal. I think you know the best why I am.

Will be here."

Li Yunzhong was shocked and said, "Your family is the Krupp family? The Krupp family that produces artillery!"

The reputation of the Krupp cannon is almost well-known in the modern world, and it is particularly famous in China. After the steel cannon entered China with the foreign word krupp, it followed the previous method of naming artillery, and the Chinese gave it this kind of artillery.

A very powerful name - Krupp, literally looks higher than the previous General XX.

Krupp's reputation in China is of course not its wonderful translation, but the steel breech cannons. Once upon a time, Krupp's cannons were almost synonymous with China's coastal defense.

Alfred replied proudly: "Yes, I am the head of the Krupp family. The main purpose of my visit to the Far East this time is to cooperate with His Majesty to build an artillery factory. I will return to Prussia in two years.

, comprehensively expand the family's business."

When Li Yunzhong learned that the Krupp family currently owns only a small factory, he immediately understood that the famous Krupp family was developed in this hands.

Li Yunzhong gave Alphred a thumbs up and replied: "You are very adventurous and dare to come to Far East alone to start a business. I admire you very much. Even if this artillery factory is jointly invested with you, the arsenal accounts for 60% of the shares.

You hold 40% of the shares and hope you will stay in the Far East to develop.”

Alfred shook his head and replied: "I have a steel factory in Europe. At the London International Industrial Fair the year before yesterday, our company displayed the largest steel ingot at that time, with 4,300 pounds, which was placed in the most conspicuous place.

From now on, orders will be endless. If you need rails, I can serve you."

Unexpectedly, the Krupp family is doing steel business now! Did they find the wrong person?

Li Yunzhong hurriedly asked, "Then why did you come to the Far East to build artillery?"

Alfred smiled and said, "On the one hand, it is to prove the quality of the steel produced by our company, and on the other hand, it is the king's order. You know this best."

Li Yunzhong smiled knowingly.

Midile looked at Li Yunzhong in annoyance, and lost 40% of his shares in vain. He also had his interests. In order to get Li Yunzhong to take back his life, he couldn't wait to interrupt: "Two gentlemen, can we take a look at the artillery?"

Alfred came to a cannon and explained: "This is the cannon cast the day before yesterday. The steel used is provided by Krupp. You can test it today. Your Majesty, do you want to see its power?"

Li Yunzhong looked at the cannon briefly, pointed to the cylindrical shell behind, and asked: "Is this a breech gun?"

Alfred introduced: "Yes, the breech gun technology was invented and created by Italian Major Caveli seven years ago. He created a type of double-rotating thread engraved in the barrel, using

The breech-loaded double-line artillery with a cylindrical shell breeze loading greatly improves the power of the artillery.”
