Once the raw materials were ready, the town hall immediately recruited a group of people, and through Owen's personal training, the first batch of smokeless gunpowder was quickly produced.Geeta then adjusted the bullet production line and began manufacturing entirely new bullets with mercury thunderate as the primer and smokeless powder as the propellant.After the successful trial production, the production line of the new bullet was immediately put into full operation.In Owen's plan, most of the soldiers will be equipped with bolt-action rifles and use new weapons to deal with the undead before the winter arrives.The old bullets will still be produced at a low level to supply the Green Lizard Alliance's military operations to unify the Enchanted Forest.Until the unification of the Mystery Forest is completed, the production line of old bullets will be completely discontinued, speeding up the replacement process of new and old bullets.On the afternoon of the new bullet, Owen and his escort went to the northern wall to test the new bullet and bolt-action rifle for Viscount Jarvis.This time, Geeta and the dwarven craftsmen came along to see the power of the new gun."
I've been waiting a long time for the new gun to be tested."
Hearing that the new bullet had been produced, Viscount Jarvis was full of excitement, like a child who had been given a new toy."
Wait a minute."
With that, Viscount Jarvis turned and walked over to a locked cabinet and opened it.There are four muskets standing upright, including the first-generation front-loading smoothbore gun, the front-loading rifled gun using Miner's rounds, the second-generation rear-loading rifled gun, and the third-generation bolt-action rifle ready for mass production.All four muskets looked brand new, and Viscount Jarvis should have taken them out and wiped them down often.Really worthy of a firearms enthusiast, each gun is well maintained.Viscount Jarvis picked up the bolt-action rifle and checked it in passing.After confirming that there was no problem, he turned around and grinned at Owen and the others."
Let's go!
Go outside and test it out, I can't wait. ”Heading to the training ground outside, Geeta handed several magazines to Viscount Jarvis, each with five new bullets.Due to the improvement of the technical process, the warhead diameter of the new bullet is one circle smaller than that of the old one.Taking the magazine, Viscount Jarvis expertly loaded the bolt-action rifle and pressed the five bullets into the magazine, then he picked up the rifle, aimed it at the target in front of him, and pulled the trigger.Bang!
Quickly withdrawing the cartridge case, Viscount Jarvis pulled the trigger again and fired a second round.In just a few seconds, all five bullets were fired."
Wow!"
Seeing this scene, the dwarven craftsmen couldn't help but exclaim."
The new generation of muskets can be loaded with five bullets, which is a significant increase in the rate of fire compared to the previous generation.""
Five bullets can bring such a big improvement, so if we expand the volume of the magazine on this basis, and load a dozen bullets at a time, or even more, wouldn't it be invincible?""
Compared to this, I think it's a bit troublesome to manually unpack the shell every time I shoot, and I don't know if there is a way to transform it to automatically unpack the shell after every shot, which can bring more firepower than expanding the magazine."
The dwarven craftsmen talked about bolt-action rifles and even began to discuss the direction of improvement of the next generation of muskets.Listening to their discussion, Owen couldn't help but feel embarrassed.Expanding magazine capacity, automatic retracting of cartridge cases, these are the advantages of automatic or semi-automatic rifles.If enough time could be given to these dwarven craftsmen, they might be able to design and build automatic or semi-automatic rifles.Owen had no doubts about this.This is the technological advantage that the dwarves have accumulated over a long period of time in the past, and it is very strong.In contrast, Owen directly took the existing design drawings from the other side of the world, standing on the shoulders of giants, while they designed from scratch.With this ability to innovate, the dwarves are much stronger than humans."
Oh?
Automatic shelling, what an interesting idea.If it can be realized, it would be good. ”When Viscount Jarvis came over, he heard the discussion of the dwarven craftsmen and intervened with interest."
But in this way, the speed of consuming bullets will also be very amazing, and with the current bullet production in Frontier Town, I'm afraid it will be unbearable.""
Then increase the production line of bullets and increase the output."
Hearing this, Tilion said disapprovingly, "It's not for us to think about, it's for you, we're only looking at how we can make more powerful weapons." ”Indeed, it was enough for the craftsmen to delve deeply into the weapon, and the commander of the army would take into account various other factors.Next, Viscount Jarvis conducted additional tests of the bolt-action rifle.Because smokeless gunpowder burned more thoroughly than black gunpowder, more thrust was applied to the bullet, so that bolt-action rifles had a longer effective range, reaching more than 400 meters.After the test, Viscount Jarvis was quite satisfied with the bolt-action rifle and loved it even more."
Geeta."
Owen turned his head and whispered."
Yes, Lord Marquis."
Geeta nodded, "I'm going to adjust the musket production line in the military factory right now and prepare for the batch of bolt-action rifles." ”With that, Geeta hurriedly retreated.The Dwarven Artisans followed Geeta out of the training grounds, saying that they had come to help, but they were still discussing how to improve the bolt-action rifle along the way.After these people left, Angelica on the side opened her mouth and asked, "Marquis Eisen, I heard that your first generation of muskets was built a year ago, right?"
”"yes, that's right."
Owen nodded."
It's only been a year, and you're all ready to start mass production of the third-generation musket."
Angelica looked surprised, "Don't you think this update is too fast?"
”"Is that fast?"
Owen touched his chin, and to be honest, he felt a little slow.Mastering a large number of advanced technologies, wanting to show off their skills but being limited everywhere must be something Angelica can't understand."
Marquis Eisen, from the first to the third generation of muskets, running water systems, etc., many new things that have never been heard of were designed by you personally."
As she spoke, Angelica suddenly leaned her face in front of Owen's face, so close that she could even smell her body fragrance."
Sometimes, I really wonder where the mysterious knowledge in your head comes from?""
Where did it come from?"
Subconsciously took a step back, Owen flashed a trace of panic, could it be that she noticed something?"
Of course I came up with it myself.""
Really?"
The corners of her mouth went up, and Angelica continued to stare into Owen's eyes, as if trying to find something in his eyes."
Ahem."
Mapel, who was on the side, finally couldn't stand it anymore and pretended to cough lightly."
Angelica, Lord Owen is very intelligent, and it's normal to be able to invent these things, there's nothing to question about it.""
Indeed."
Angelica took a few steps back and smiled meaninglessly, "I've always believed in Marquis Eisen. ”It's dangerous!
On the surface, Owen remained calm, but inside he was very nervous.No matter what Angelica thought, she probably didn't think that this new knowledge actually came from another world.This lord is backed by a tech tycoon
