Chapter five hundred and seventy-eight everyone is equal in front of Colt
Chapter 578 Everyone is equal before Colt
What attracted Mr. Leo was the metal piece lying quietly on the tray next to him.
The tray is covered with luxurious solid-color silk. If this most expensive material is used as the bottom, you can imagine how valuable the things on it are.
The slender steel pipe shines with the beautiful luster unique to metal in the sun.
Behind the steel pipe is a protrusion of a wheel nest, and further behind is a curved hammer. In addition, under the piece of metal, there is a curved handle.
The handle is made of pure ivory and is engraved with fine patterns, all of which highlight the extraordinary quality of this iron product.
Even if you don't know anything about weapons, if you see this weapon that is not ostentatious, has no sharp edge, and can even be said to be a bit ugly, you will feel its ferocious terror deep in your heart.
Leo has been with Lorraine for a long time, and even if he has never seen it, he has heard about it a lot. How could he not see the power of this thing? Leo was not aware of the roaring steam engine around him.
Seeing that, all the energy was focused on that thing, and the big eyes flickered, but a pair of small hands could not reach out from the eyes to snatch the thing into his own hands.
In fact, if someone hadn't been watching and worried about what Catherine called "royal dignity" and not looking too ugly, this little gangster would have done this a long time ago.
In fact, in Young Master Leo's view, as long as he sees something good, he must grab it. Only in this way can it truly be regarded as royal dignity.
Otherwise, this emperor would work so hard for the benefit of others, and this emperor would be too miserable.
Lorraine looked at Leo scratching his ears and cheeks like a little monkey, with an itchy expression on his face, and couldn't help but smile. Then he encouraged the researchers who made the steam engine and said, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone."
, Well done. You can actually come up with a decent product in such a short time. It’s really a big thank you to everyone.”
All the researchers couldn't help but look at each other in confusion.
Although the researcher followed Lorraine's suggestions and requirements, he put a lot of effort into making this thing called a "steam engine".
But to be honest, these researchers have not yet been able to figure out what the purpose of this large hot water kettle is. It is worth Lord Lorraine throwing hundreds of thousands of gold coins into it, and it also contains the family's lovely wife and beautiful family members, all of whom are soaked in it.
Inside the laboratory.
It is precisely because the researcher did not understand the great historical significance of the steam engine that he stumbled throughout the entire research process, all relying on Lorraine's little explanations.
Although the researcher did not understand the function of the steam engine, who made Lorraine the boss and they were just wage earners?
Just do whatever the boss says.
Lorraine mistook the gold coins as money and threw them into it without blinking an eye. These researchers secretly smacked their lips, admiring the boss's arrogance. At the same time, they also felt regretful in their hearts: What can I do with so much money? It's worth it.
Want to make a big toy? These pipes and steel plates are all forged bit by bit by the most skilled craftsmen. The other project teams can only look at them and drool.
Until now, the researchers feel a little guilty when they hear Lorraine praising them with words of praise.
Lorraine changed her tone and continued: "I can see everyone's hard work. But we still have to keep up our efforts, improve efficiency, make a few more units, and then try to make another one."
National Taiwan University comes out. When the time comes, we will definitely not be indebted to you."
All the researchers only thought that Lord Luo had spent so much money, but he ended up creating such a crappy thing. Moreover, most of the ideas and planning were proposed by Lord Luo himself. He was consciously aware of this.
Uneasy.
Everyone is very doubtful that if Sir Luo Long Yan gets angry, he will send the SS to arrest everyone, and then go to the Gulag Concentration Camp... uh, Gulag Leisure Holiday Camp
Ten years of unpaid leave with food and accommodation in mind.
They didn't expect Sir Alex to be so generous and tolerant, and they all burst into tears of gratitude. Some of them sighed inwardly: This one is not enough for you, do you want a bigger one?
People with lots of money are stupid, so having a boss like this is... such a blessing~!
Where could they see the golden light flashing involuntarily in Lord Luo's eyes as he spoke.
With the steam engine in hand, he planned to build a steam locomotive and establish a Flying Eagle Railway Company so that the Flying Eagle Company could develop into railways.
There is a passage in the Internationale that says "The Emperor of Mines and Railways..."
Since everything has been mentioned here, we can see how profitable the railway is.
What's more, Lord Luo has played "Railway Enjoyment" a lot before. He is very familiar with the various methods involved.
It's like going public and issuing stocks. When the business is most prosperous, it splits the stocks, absorbs funds, and develops again.
After swindling money from the common people, they would stop all trains to create the illusion of an economic downturn. After the stocks fell to the bottom, they would then buy them all.
In this way, a set of extremely classic 'management buyout' actions was completed.
The cost is small, the profit is big, the risk is small, and the efficiency is high. This kind of thing is hard to find even with a searchlight.
Lorraine has even thought about the paving plan. This is the first railway track that will appear in history. It will start from Nadel City and go all the way north along the Imperial Avenue to Constantine City. In two years, the development of the grassland will be in full swing.
With the development of China, food and various products no longer need to rely on a single sea transportation.
When the time comes... when the time comes, I will let you have a taste of waiting in line for two days and two nights to buy train tickets~!
The researcher didn't notice that Lorraine was having sex. They were so excited that a guy stepped forward, patted his chest and said, "Thank you Sir, on behalf of everyone, I sincerely thank Sir. You are really generous."
Magnificent and magnanimous.
With your encouragement, Sir, everyone eats well and sleeps sweetly. Even if we encounter some technical difficulties, when I think of you watching us from behind, even those who want to break their heads are at a loss to figure it out.
The problem was solved immediately.
Sir, please rest assured. From now on, we will all live, eat and live in the factory. We will never go home until decent projects are completed~!
If you don’t believe it, ask all of us if this is the case?”
When Young Master Leo heard this, he was so sick that he wanted to vomit even though his thoughts were not here.
The people next to him were all cursing in their hearts. But when they saw Lord Luo looking at them, they all put on cheerful smiles and shouted in agreement, and responded one after another.
Lord Luo secretly smiled in his heart, and was very happy at the moment. He praised him again in front of everyone. He said: "Okay, that's good. As long as everyone studies carefully and comes up with qualified results, I will definitely
I won’t lose anyone. I will give you double wages this month.”
After everyone heard this, they thanked him one after another.
The guards next to him looked at Lord Luo with a smile that looked like a life insurance salesman, and they were very happy at the moment.
The Imperial Guards, who took Lorraine's scoundrels and sharp tongue as examples, knew the Lord's temper best, but they knew that the more fake Lord Luo smiled, the more violent his tantrums became.
As expected.
Turning around, Lord Luo scolded the supervisor of the factory: "Stop playing with these nonsense~!"
My uncle also worked in a factory back then. He worked on an assembly line, worked as a porter, and talked nice things. Wasn’t the purpose of raising his salary?
I am so easy to fool. Seeing that you are doing a good job, I will give you a few compliments and let me climb the pole~~!
We really need to have the time, work hard on research, and come up with something decent~!
Just like a Japanese carrot, he screams all day long to ‘work hard’, but how many bastards have you really seen who are exhausted from working?
Aren't you just pretending to perform well and asking for more salary and bonuses?
Furthermore, he said, ‘In order to work, you force people to go home without letting them go home~!’.
nmlgbd, if this spreads out, my reputation will be ruined, sir, and I will really become a black-hearted capitalist. Is this reputation good to me?
This scolding made the supervisor miserable.
The supervisor who was just so proud of Lord Lorraine's reward was like a basin of ice water pouring over his head.
The supervisor was also in a depressed mood at the moment: Although the guy who was flattering was his brother-in-law, he had reminded him beforehand not to express such flattery and flattery.
Anyone who has been with Sir Alex for a long time knows that Sir Alex's eyes are always sharp and he never rubs the slightest bit of sand into his eyes. His beautiful words are just like fooling this old man, so don't die too soon.
But I didn’t expect that despite Qian’s advice and Wan’s advice, that bastard still jumped out and wanted to show off. I don’t know what that bastard official fan wanted to do~!
At the same time, he was secretly furious in his heart. He tried his best to prevent his wife from sleeping with him when he got home, and he would fire that bastard and tell him to get out.
This place is a private company. It's not an imperial government where you can just issue invoices for office supplies and eat and drink with public funds. The Flying Eagle Group has no room for a freeloader. If this continues, I might even be laid off.
After Lord Luo finished getting angry, he felt much more relaxed and then walked out again.
At this time, Leo had already picked up the weapon and kept playing with it in his hands. He couldn't wait to give it a try.
When Lorraine saw this, he didn't say much at the moment. He pulled Leo and led everyone to the shooting range.
Someone had already cleared the area and erected several targets.
Leo looked at it, and immediately rushed over, pointed at the target, and pulled the trigger. But then he was disappointed to find that it was just an empty gun without even a bullet.
He turned over and over again to check, but found that this gun was different from the previous one. Even though he had taken out the gunpowder, he could not insert it.
Finally, he had an idea and decided to point the gun at it.
Lorraine took it immediately and said: "What are you doing? Do you think this is a musket from the past? Does it have to be opened like an air gun to load bullets? Be careful to break it~!"
Leo was immediately stunned.
Lorraine stretched out his hand and swung it to the left. At that moment, he heard a soft "click" sound, and the wheel nest had been thrown out.
Leo immediately opened his eyes wide and shouted angrily: "You...you still said that I am not the same..."
As soon as he said this, he saw Lorraine reaching out and shaking the wheel nest. Immediately, the wheel nest began to rotate rapidly and made a series of slight sounds.
Leo immediately closed his mouth.
Lorraine skillfully raised the gun, checked it briefly against the sun, and found that there was nothing wrong with it. Then he nodded with satisfaction.
At this time, someone nearby had already fired bullets.
Lorraine immediately loaded the bullets into the wheel nest one by one, and then flicked it hard. Then, the wheel nest made a 'click' sound and reset again.
Lorraine immediately raised the gun, aimed it at the target, and pulled the trigger.
A loud "boom" sound was heard, and a stream of flames suddenly spurted out from the muzzle of the gun.
Under the huge recoil, Lorraine's hands also shook.
Leo immediately curled his lips and said disdainfully: "Don't you know that bullets are expensive? It only takes six bullets to fire. What's so great about this kind of broken gun."
Since the young master was not allowed to use it himself, no matter how good the gun was, it would of course be a broken gun.
Lorraine ignored him and immediately pulled the trigger.
‘Boom’ ‘boom’ ‘boom boom’.
Gunshots rang out one after another.
Leo's eyes almost popped out of his head.
This is so powerful, it can actually fire continuously?
As soon as Lorraine's gunfire stopped, he rushed over and jumped on his feet and shouted: "Give it to me, give it to me. Let me play too, give it to me quickly, or I will complain to Nicole and say you
Just messing around outside."
Lorraine was stunned, glared at that little ruffian Leo, and said, "Are you feeling sorry for yourself by saying this?"
Leo raised his face and said, "It's up to you to take care of it. Anyway, Nicole said that she wants me to watch you. Now the supervisory power is in my hands, and whatever I say will be what I say."
Lorraine looked at his shameless face and the look of a villain taking over. He was helpless at the moment. Even Lord Luo couldn't afford to offend such a terrifying creature like his brother-in-law.
What's more, this kid now has a chicken feather command arrow.
What if he really confuses right and wrong, and just like last time, he runs to Catherine and several women and says: "Lorraine really didn't pick up any girls outside today. She really didn't pick up any girls, and she didn't pick up any girls."
He whistled at the girls on the street and looked at them with a lewd smile.
Really, really not.
You must not misunderstand, really don’t misunderstand~!”
But I can’t eat anymore and I have to walk away~!
He casually handed the pistol into Leo's hand, and then said worriedly: "Do you know how to play? This is a revolver, with six rings at a time."
Leo had long been fed up, grabbed the gun in his hand, and smiled with his teeth wide open. According to the young master's wishful thinking, it was never possible to spit out the food that was eaten in his mouth. Since this thing
Once it is in his hands, it will be named Lei from now on. Lorraine will never get it back again.
Someone nearby offered bullets.
Leo is also extremely smart. After seeing Lorraine use it once, he took it in his hand and fiddled with it twice. He was already self-taught.
This revolver was made by Lorraine after imitating the classic Colt revolver.
Only by gathering the resources of the Flying Eagle Group can we create this weapon that transcends the times. It was handmade by dozens of craftsmen. Lord Lorraine now needs money and people, of course he can.
Use gold coins to smash this weapon from blueprint to real thing.
But the problem is that this kind of production efficiency is extremely low, and so far there are only a few qualified finished products.
Although this pistol is expensive, it can’t hold up well~!
Back then, those gangs of big escorts who traveled across the West, riding horses and shooting guns, all relied on this thing to act like gangsters, rob trains, and rob banks.
At noon, the town is filled with yellow sand and the streets are empty.
For a beautiful woman, as silk handkerchiefs fell from the air, two ruffians drew their guns and shot each other angrily at the same time.
This is the eternal essence of Western movies.
There was a famous saying at that time: Everyone is equal before Colt.
The history of human society is also a history of fighting against injustice. It is also a history of the development of weapons.
With Colt, everyone is equal.
This shows the great achievement of this unique gun.
In the 19th century, some historians once commented: Colt's invention changed the course of history.
This gun cannot compete with the Mauser rifle and the AK47.
And more importantly, this kind of gun has a very early history and is simple to make. The first similar gun type had already appeared in the early Ming Dynasty. It was just that the style was cumbersome and the name was the three-eyed fire gun.
Although the Colt revolver has weaknesses such as insufficient firepower, it has extremely good killing effect within 50 meters. It can even be used to deal with elephants.
The reason why the elephant was chosen as the target was because the gangsters could not find an animal bigger and stronger than it.
In addition to the guns, the bullets have also been improved.
They no longer use explosive crystals, those precious things that made Sir Luo's heart break in pain whenever he mentioned them, as ammunition.
But based on Lorena's suggestion.
"You bunch of idiots, can't you use explosive crystals as primers and ordinary gunpowder as ammunition?" - Lorena said at the time.
After Lord Luo listened to the female magician's advice, he slapped his forehead and almost cried. If I had known this, how much money could I have saved~!
Since then, bullet manufacturing has begun to follow this method.
Leo was also very courageous. He held the gun in his hand, pointed it at the target and pulled the trigger without thinking.
As the gunshot rang out, the huge recoil made his arms numb, and he almost couldn't hold the handle, and the pistol flew out of his hands.
Leo grimaced in pain, and his big eyes were full of sparkling tears. But he could only hold back because he was afraid of Lorraine's jokes.
When he turned around, he saw Xiaobai standing nearby, looking at himself making a fool of himself, looking very happy at his misfortune, and he couldn't help but get furious.
He waved and said: "Come here~!"
Xiao Bai was stunned for a moment, then shook his head firmly.
Leo was furious and said: "The boss calls you, but you dare to be disobedient. Do you not want this month's image endorsement fee?"
When Xiaobai saw him using the killer weapon of 'wage deduction', he immediately became dejected, his big ears pressed against his head in frustration, and then he reluctantly stopped every step and walked over.
Leo immediately raised its nose, letting Xiaobai use its big nose to hold the pistol for him, then leaned against it and pulled the trigger again.
Immediately there was another 'boom' sound.
Leo found that it was indeed much better this way. His hands no longer hurt, and his accuracy was much higher. He immediately pulled the trigger one after another.
At first, Xiao Bai was so scared that he closed his eyes when he heard the gunshot. But later, when he realized that there was no danger, he opened his big eyes and excitedly helped Leo hold the gun.
The two guys had a great time playing together.
Lorraine was discussing with the person in charge of weapons production. When she turned around inadvertently, she saw Xiaobai happily rolling the pistol with his nose, then pulling the trigger and firing at the target. And after he finished shooting, he kept urging him.
He asked the staff next to him to help him load the bullet.
Lorraine couldn't help but wonder that the little elephant only had a long trunk, and she didn't know how it did it?
He was about to ask, but then he saw Xiaobai sneezing due to being choked by the smoke from the pistol, and then blew his nose hard, spitting out a large cloud of gray droplets.
Lorraine realized at that moment that it was better for her not to know about that matter. She would be so sick that she would not be able to eat when she went back.
However, although this revolver is good, Lorraine also discovered a lot of weaknesses during their test firing. The most important thing is the problem of bullets.
Due to the use of a trace amount of explosive crystals, although the price is relatively cheaper, it is still extremely expensive and cannot be deployed in the army at all.
Now we still have to rely on flintlock guns to conquer the world.
Moreover, due to poor craftsmanship, the biggest disadvantage of disposable fixed-loading bullets is that they are extremely easy to fail to fire, which is commonly known as 'stinky!'
And this problem cannot be solved. Lorraine even remembered that there were many scenes depicting "stinky boys" in the old war movies she watched. This shows how stubborn this problem is.
At the same time, Lorraine was also lucky that she had the foresight to choose a revolver. If she directly loaded the magazine with an automatic pistol that was prone to jamming, she didn’t know what the result would be~!
However, these scientific researchers can now produce more than a dozen test products, which is quite good.
I believe that in a short while, they will be able to produce finished products and equip their own guards with these. I believe that as long as there are twenty people, they can easily kill eighty to one hundred enemies of the same level.
By that time, things like the guard being ambushed and the entire army almost being destroyed will never happen again.
Lorraine also praised the staff very much.
Fortunately, the fact that the head of the Power Research Department was scolded so bloody has already spread below. There is no longer that kind of guy who doesn't recognize good and bad and only wants to grandstand and flatter everyone.
Everyone’s interest.
At this time, not far away, gunshots were heard "boom, boom, boom, boom".
Lorraine turned around and saw that Leo had already picked one with less recoil.
He and Xiaobai, each with a pistol, fired wildly at the target in the distance, and then after finishing the bullets, they invariably raised the pistol in front of them and blew lightly on the muzzle, showing off
The peerless style of that lonely master.
The only shortcoming is that when Xiaobai blew, he used a little too much force and spit out a big mouthful of saliva, spraying it on the muzzle of the gun.
It also discovered it itself, and its innocent big eyes rolled, and then they were all smeared on the silk draped on its back.
Lorraine sighed immediately, walked forward and said, "Leo, let's go, we have to go back."
Leo was stunned and said with unfinished content: "Boss, I haven't had enough fun yet~!"
Lorraine smiled and said with a pun: "Go back, we have a guy in our hands now, and it will be time for you to have fun."
