[Chapter 882 Technology Deployment]

“Cavalry gun?”

Zhao Xu confided his thoughts, and Wang Ying was taken aback.

After thinking for a while, he said, “His Royal Highness has a diagram of the mechanism of the cavalry gun, and it can be produced immediately.”

During this time, the workshop of the Bingzhang Division has been working hard to produce Qin-style rifles to satisfy the royal family’s troops. Army, Ning Jin Army and the needs of the Marine Corps.

Now that the Qin-style rifles are almost delivered, the vacated production capacity can just make cavalry guns.

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

In order to deal with Beidi, he transferred the only independent cavalry to Ningjindusi.

This is the cavalry led by Chen Hu, with a total of 30,000 troops.

Except for 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 gun is installed, the cavalry knife will not be eliminated.

Use cavalry guns at a long distance, and cavalry knives are more agile at close range.

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

Wang Ying has learned about the magic of electricity from Wang Chong for a long time, and has a strong interest in it.

He said: “The minister will fully cooperate when the time comes.”

Zhao Xu nodded, according to his calculations, at least two generator sets are needed to meet the electricity consumption of the Bing Zhansi.

But of course that’s not the point.

He said: “You can leave the power issue to the research institute. You have more important things, which are metal bullets.”

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

Otherwise, it is impossible to test-fire at all.

“It’s finally here.” Wang Ying was surprised when he heard this.

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

It’s just that although some things make him greedy, they really don’t have the conditions to make them.

Like metal bullets.

Although relying on handwork, it is also possible to make this kind of bullet.

However, the amount of metal bullets is too large, and it is difficult to guarantee the accuracy of manual manufacturing, and the efficiency is too low.

At that time, when there is a war, because of the problem of bullets jamming, the problem will become bigger.

But it is not easy to set up a metal bullet production line.

So he said, “If a worker wants to be good at his work, he must first sharpen his tools. The minister first worked with the Research Institute to manufacture the production line.”

After manufacturing the breech-loading gun, he couldn’t help but think about the method of manufacturing 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 a flat metal workpiece into a fixed shape in a die.

Just like poking a finger into the dough, the dough takes on the shape of a finger.

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

Metal Bullet was born.

It’s just that although it is simple to say, it is also very cumbersome to establish all the processes.

The primer needs to be processed, and the warhead also needs to be processed.

The hardest part is getting the bullet the same size as the case.

This is why Wang Chong’s research institute has already produced a punching machine, but cannot produce metal bullets.

This requires a stable electric motor to provide stable power, making a higher precision fit fitting.

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

He knew it well, and he didn’t need to explain too much.

Whether it is Wang Ying or Wang Chong, he can take charge of it alone.

They do not lack technology, what they lack is the conditions to realize technology.

This is why he is eager to popularize electricity.

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

Once the electricity is broken through, all aspects will be fully broken through.

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

Because he was about to receive the breech-loading gun, Yang Feng went happily.

Accompanied by Xu Lie, Zhao Xu wandered around Yanzhou.

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

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

The road was full of traffic and traffic, and the cries of vendors were endless. The bustling scene gave him an illusion, as if he had returned to the former Jinling City.

Even more prosperous than Jinling.

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

But in Yancheng, all the people who came and went had smiles on their faces, and when they walked together in twos and threes, there was often laughter.

They are no longer old patched clothes, but brand new clothes made by machine cloth tailors made by weaving workshops, with fine lines.

In addition to the high quality of the cloth, due to the improvement of cloth dyeing technology, the dyeing of the cloth is also very well-proportioned and exquisite.

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

The physics laboratory has achieved various technological breakthroughs.

Naturally, the chemical laboratory is not eating dry food.

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

They began to synthesize other chemicals with complex structures.

The dye is also in it.
