The three marshals immediately made the decision and promoted Fang Xiaoyu to lieutenant. They also said that they would submit it to the emperor and there would be rewards later. Xia Ziqing looked at him in a daze from behind. Fang Xiaoyu is such a monster. He didn't expect that not only would he become a second lieutenant on the first day he joined the army,
, he was promoted to lieutenant the next day. If he keeps going like this, he won't become marshal a month later.
With this military training plan in hand, the three marshals were in a good mood. The three of them got together and began to study it, and many staff officers also came over. Seeing that everyone was focusing on the military training plan, Fang Xiaoyu planned to run away. After all,
He also wanted to go to Zhang Peiyun to customize brewing equipment. As soon as Fang Xiaoyu walked to the door, Marshal Xia Jun raised his head and said: "Fang Xiaoyu." "Here." Fang Xiaoyu was startled and responded quickly.
"I know you are quite busy, so just make time to come here a few days a month." After speaking, Marshal Xia Jun smiled and said, "Also, please keep your voice down in the staff war room next time. No noise is allowed here." Fang Xiaoyu
First he broke into a cold sweat, and then his face turned red with embarrassment. He finally knew why there were so many strange eyes staring at him after he finished shouting the report.
After walking out of the Army Staff Headquarters, Fang Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief. It was so depressing there. Since Xia Ziqing didn't send him off again, Fang Xiaoyu had to walk to the military workshop by himself. Fang Xiaoyu, who was just ten years old, rarely went out before.
They were all learning the history, geography, customs and other knowledge here with Xiaofeng. Even if they came out either in a sedan or a carriage, today they could finally take a walk and feel the prosperity of the capital city of Lanfang Empire. Not far away, Fang Xiaoyu
We turned into a commercial street. The road here was not very spacious. There were stalls lined up on both sides of the road, and there were many shops in between.
As Fang Xiaoyu walked, a cry of selling came to his ears: "Come and buy some delicious candies." There were also candy sellers, and Fang Xiaoyu was a little surprised. In his previous life, he loved eating candies, but
The Fang family is a big family, so they naturally ignore the food sold at street food stalls. Therefore, for the eight years since he came to Wangxiangxing, Fang Xiaoyu mostly ate honey, which is called a noble food, and at most he drank lotus seeds mixed with brown sugar.
Porridge, and the yellow color even startled me.
Fang Xiaoyu walked over and found neat wooden boxes on the vendor's trolley. Black, red and yellow candy cubes were placed in the boxes. Fang Xiaoyu asked the vendor doubtfully: "Why are there no white ones?" "White?"
"?" The merchant was stunned. Although the man in front of him was short and looked like a child, the officer's uniform he was wearing made the merchant dare not neglect him. The merchant immediately said with a smile on his face: "Master Jun, I will do it."
I have been a vendor for twenty years, and there have always been candy bars of these colors, but never white ones."
After hearing his words, Fang Xiaoyu's eyes lit up. It turns out that there is no sugar in the world yet, and this is a good way to make money. He always wanted to rely on Xiaofeng's research results, but he never thought that he could also think of ways to make money. First of all, this
White sugar is just that. Although I have never seen the production process of white sugar, I know the famous yellow mud water decolorization method in detail. This is also thanks to my curiosity when I was reading history books.
"Tiangong Kaiwu" written by scientist Song Yingxing was so good that Fang Xiaoyu immediately decided to order more large wooden barrels and funnels from Zhang Peiyun.
Thinking of this, Fang Xiaoyu happily sped up and ran towards the Xia family's military workshop. The candy vendor looked at his back and muttered: "This military master is really strange. Why did he suddenly leave happily without buying any candy?"
That's it." After saying that, the merchant withdrew his gaze. This was just a small episode in his life. He turned around and started to greet the next customer.
Hearing that Fang Xiaoyu was coming, Zhang Peiyun hurriedly greeted him. The craftsmen who were watching were surprised. They never expected that the usually aloof chief engineer, who even saluted Marshal Xia, would actually welcome such a child in person. Fang Xiaoyu
When he saw Zhang Peiyun, he smiled and said: "Chief Engineer Zhang, I'm here to trouble you to make something for me today."
Zhang Peiyun also said: "No problem. I happened to have something to ask you. I didn't expect you to come here. It's great." The craftsmen next to them were surprised by the conversation between the two. Who is Zhang Peiyun? Lanfang Imperial Army
The chief designer of weapons actually wanted to ask such a child for advice. However, Zhang Peiyun's expression did not seem to be flattering, but sincere. What was even more exaggerated was that several of Zhang Peiyun's deputies also looked natural and enthusiastic.
He invited Fang Xiaoyu to sit in the office.
When he came to Zhang Peiyun's office, Fang Xiaoyu took out his design drawings. Zhang Peiyun originally thought they were firearms drawings, but when he took them over, he saw some weird barrels and pipes. He asked strangely: "What are these?
?What's the use?" Fang Xiaoyu said: "This is what I need to use in my workshop. As for the use, that's a trade secret." Just kidding, if Fang Xiaoyu explained all the uses, how much money would he make? You know Xia
The family controls 80% of the handicraft manufacturing industry in the entire Lanfang Empire. If you tell them, you will have nothing to do.
Zhang Peiyun also knew that he shouldn't ask, so he just laughed dryly, handed the drawings to the assistant next to him and said: "Take these drawings to the workshop, ask them to make them quickly, and then send them to..." Zhang Peiyun didn't know
Where to send it, he turned his head and looked at Fang Xiaoyu. Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Send it to Lanting Villa in the north of the city." Zhang Peiyun nodded and told his assistant: "Go quickly." The assistant nodded, took out the drawings and went out.
Zhang Peiyun turned around and asked with a smile: "Brother Fang, I have a problem that I can't solve. I hope you can help me." "Another problem?" Fang Xiaoyu asked in surprise. Zhang Peiyun said with a look of embarrassment: "This group of people in Beijing
The generals have really good ears and eyes. When they heard that we had a new weapon design, they all came here. I happened to make two prototype guns yesterday, and they were very satisfied after trying them." After listening to Zhang Peiyun nagging for a long time, he didn't say anything.
Getting to the point, Fang Xiaoyu asked aloud: "Satisfaction is a good thing. What's the problem?" Zhang Peiyun said: "But they have used fixed-loading breech-loading guns and insisted that I help them improve their revolvers. They said propellant and
It is too troublesome to load the bullets separately, and I am asked to design a pistol with fixed-loading bullets. I am worried about this matter."
Zhang Peiyun reached out from the drawer of the table and took out a revolver specially equipped by the military for officers and said: "Look, our pistol has a groove cut out at the back of the revolver for loading. If we use a fixed
When loading ammunition, it is not a problem to hinge a firing pin behind the runner. However, the groove is too small to completely load such a long fixed-loading ammunition. However, if the groove is further enlarged, it will affect the structural strength of the entire gun and easily
The gun body broke during the shooting process." Fang Xiaoyu took the pistol, looked at it and nodded, "So that's what happened, it's very easy to solve." After hearing Fang Xiaoyu's words, Zhang Peiyun's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked his assistant to take out the paper.
He asked Fang Xiaoyu to draw a picture for him.
Taking the paper and pen given by Zhang Peiyun, Fang Xiaoyu started drawing again. Seeing the shape of a pistol gradually taking shape in Fang Xiaoyu's hands, Zhang Peiyun's eyes lit up. What Fang Xiaoyu drew was a Colt 'Lightning' double-action revolver.
In order to let Zhang Peiyun see the pistol more clearly, he also specially drew the rotating mechanism of the gun next to it. In revolvers in this world, the rotating wheel cannot be swung because there is no need to use separate ammunition.
.
Fang Xiaoyu finished the drawing and explained to Zhang Peiyun: "You see, as long as you add such a mechanism so that the runner can swing out to the left, you can load the ammunition and clean the magazine. After resetting, use pins to fix it to prevent the magazine from being bombarded during shooting.
It is loose, and this design is double-action, which allows for continuous shooting without having to pull the hammer every time a bullet is fired." Zhang Peiyun exclaimed: "What a genius design. This makes the revolver much more convenient.
, it’s really great, you can actually swing the wheel to the left, I think this new revolver is called a revolver.”
Fang Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, then laughed. This is how the revolver got its name. This time, there was another weapon patent, and he had the money to get it again.
After solving the problem in his mind, Zhang Peiyun also talked a lot. Fang Xiaoyu took the opportunity to ask him about artillery knowledge. There was no way, Fang Xiaoyu's weapons knowledge was relatively simple. In this world, he can be said to be god-level in terms of firearms and warships.
, of course, it is limited to design, and I don’t know much about high-tech things like the power system of warships. As for artillery, tanks, aircraft, etc., I am only an amateur military fan. Although there are no tanks and aircraft now, this artillery is still
To understand more deeply, this is the God of War.
Zhang Peiyun also liked this talented little designer very much. He taught almost everything he had about artillery. Although it was only about front-loading guns, this also benefited Fang Xiaoyu a lot, especially the selection of barrel materials.
I have a certain understanding of the calculation of chamber pressure and artillery sights.
After chatting for a while, Fang Xiaoyu stood up and left. Zhang Peiyun would send someone to deliver the finished things to Lanting Villa, so naturally he didn't have to worry about it. When Fang Xiaoyu returned home, he found helplessly that he had to walk again. While walking on the road, Fang Xiaoyu secretly decided
You must learn to ride a horse when you have time. Riding in a sedan is too time-consuming, and the shock absorption of a carriage is too poor. In this era without cars and airplanes, riding a horse is your best choice.
The next morning, Fang Xiaoyu decided to go to Lanting Villa. After all, he would set up two factories first and put them into production one day earlier, so he would see profits one day earlier. Originally, Fang Xiaoyu wanted to go riding a horse, but after trying it, he found that riding a horse was not the best option.
He was so eager to learn, especially since he didn't have any basic skills. He had no choice but to take a carriage.
Now Fang Xiaoyu has two more personal guards, Zhang Tong and Liu Junxi. The four guards when he went to Lanting Villa last time were temporary and had been returned to his eldest brother Fang Dingguo long ago. But these two guards were the second grandfather last night.
After learning from the Ministry of Industry that the Xia family had registered three weapon patents for Fang Xiaoyu, he calculated and found that Fang Xiaoyu had become a cornucopia. In order to protect the Fang family's cornucopia, he discussed it with his two brothers and decided to send two
Experts protect Fang Xiaoyu's safety to avoid accidents.
