Become a feudal king from today - #886 - Chapter 900 Technology Deployment

“Cavalry rifle?”

Zhao Xu expressed his thoughts, and Wang Ying was startled. read

After thinking for a while, he said: “His Royal Highness’s drawing does contain the mechanism diagram of the cavalry gun, which can be produced immediately.”

During this period, the Bingzhansi’s workshop has been working hard to produce Qin-style rifles to meet the needs of the Royal Army, the Qin Army, the Ning Jin Army and the Marine Corps.

Now that the Qin-style rifles have almost been delivered, the freed up production capacity can be used to manufacture cavalry rifles.

“Eighty thousand is enough.” Zhao Xu reported a number.

In order to deal with Beidi, he transferred his only independent cavalry to Ningjin Dusi.

This is the cavalry commanded by Chen Hu, totaling 30,000 people.

In addition to Chen Hu’s cavalry, the other three armies have a total of about 50,000 cavalry.

This amount is enough.

However, even if the cavalry lance is installed, the cavalry sword will not be eliminated.

The cavalry lance is used at a distance, but the cavalry sword can kill people efficiently at close range.

After briefly talking about the cavalry rifle, Zhao Xu formally talked about the small thermal power plant.

Wang Ying had long known about the magic of electricity from Wang Chong and was very interested in it.

He said: “I will fully cooperate with you when the time comes.”

Zhao Xu nodded. According to his calculations, at least two generator sets were needed to meet the electricity consumption of the Military and War Department.

But this is naturally not the point.

He said: “Just leave the electricity matter to the Ru0026D Institute. You have more important things, which are metal bullets.”

He didn’t talk about machine guns. After all, only when metal bullets are mature can we talk about machine guns.

Otherwise, there is no way to test fire at all.

“We’ve finally reached this point.” Wang Ying looked surprised when he heard this.

In fact, the development steps of firearms are all on the design diagram given to him by King Yan.

It’s just that although there are some things that make him greedy, he really doesn’t have the conditions to make them.

Such as metal bullets.

Although it is possible to make such bullets by hand.

However, the quantity of metal bullets is too large, making it difficult to ensure accuracy by hand, and the efficiency is too low.

When the time comes for war, the problem will be huge if the bullet jams due to bullet problems.

However, it is not easy to establish a metal bullet production line.

So he said, “If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. I will first work with the Ru0026D Institute to build the production line.”

After making the breech-loading cannon, he couldn’t help but think about how to make metal bullets.

When I was at home, I also had a casual chat with Wang Chong.

Wang Chong was very familiar with machinery, so he told him that he needed a punch.

This is a lathe that punches flat metal workpieces into a fixed shape in a mold.

Just like when you poke your finger into the dough, the dough takes on the shape of your finger.

Because copper is very soft, the punch can punch the copper into a cylindrical shape, and then install the primer and warhead.

The metal bullet was born.

Although it sounds simple, setting up all the processes is also very cumbersome.

The primer needs to be processed, and so does the warhead.

The hardest part is making the bullet the same size as the cartridge case.

This is why Wang Chong’s research and development institute has built a punch press but cannot make metal bullets.

This requires a stable motor to provide stable power and create higher-precision fitting accessories.

“Well, you father and son should have a tacit understanding. I am waiting for your good news. If you have any difficulties, please report to me at any time and I will solve it for you.” Zhao Xu said.

He knew that he didn’t need to explain much.

Both Wang Ying and Wang Chong can take charge of their own affairs.

They don’t lack technology, they just lack the conditions to realize it.

This is why he is eager to popularize electricity.

Because the technical level of the entire Yanzhou is constrained by power problems.

Once there is a breakthrough in electricity, there will be a comprehensive breakthrough in all aspects.

After chatting for a while about the manufacturing details of metal bullets, Zhao Xu left the Bingzhan Division.

Because he was about to receive the breech-loaded cannon, Yang Feng went there happily.

Zhao Xu, accompanied by Xu Lie, wandered around Yanzhou.

During this period of time, he only focused on fighting and did not pay attention to the changes in Yancheng for a long time.

At some point, all the dirt roads in the streets and alleys of Yanzhou turned into spacious and clean cement roads.

The roads were busy with traffic, and the sound of vendors could be heard constantly. The bustling scene made him feel as if he had returned to the former Jinling City.

Even more prosperous than Jinling.

Because the people in Jinling who wear silk and satin are only powerful people, wealthy families and wealthy businessmen, you can still see a lot of ragged people on the streets.

But in Yancheng, the people who come and go all have smiles on their faces, and laughter is often heard when walking together in twos and threes.

They are no longer wearing old clothes that are heavily patched, but are brand new, made from machine-made cloth made in a weaving workshop, with fine textures.

In addition to the excellent quality of the cloth, due to the improvement of dyeing technology, the dyeing of the cloth is also very uniform and beautiful.

Of course, the improvement of this dyeing technology is naturally indispensable to Qu Sheng’s contribution.

The physics laboratory achieves various technological breakthroughs.

Naturally, the chemistry laboratory is not just doing nothing.

After the three-acid-two-alkali project officially mass-produced these basic chemical raw materials.

They began to synthesize other chemicals with complex structures.

This dye is also included.
