Now that the security problem in Lanhu Town is expected to be solved, Claude didn't take it to heart about the thief crawling into the manor in the middle of the night. He went to the Anna Ranch again. Today he wanted to make it clear to his sister Anna and Mrs. Sonia that he
What kind of long rifle is needed? As for Master Bird, Claude has a headache now because the old man has recently become obsessed with that firepower machine and has been staying in the iron ore workshop to study why hot air can push such a heavy piston.
link......
"The long rifle I want should look like this." Claude now got a small blackboard and hung it in the newly completed firearms research laboratory. On it, he drew what he thought the rifle looked like: "It even has
The butt is about one meter and a half long, and with the bayonet installed it is about one and a half meters long. It fires the same brass-cased bullets as the revolver. Perhaps the bullet case can be made longer and more gunpowder can be loaded to increase the range.
I can only draw a rough picture of what I imagined. There are no other cumbersome things on the barrel except the sight and the rear sight for adjusting the distance. The bullet should be loaded in the middle and rear of the gun body. I imagine there is a lever here.
, pull it open to reveal the barrel of the gun, load the bullet, aim and shoot, then pull the bullet case out, reload the bullet, and continue shooting. If possible, I think I can design a magazine below with five bullets in it.
bullet.
After shooting, you only need to pull the lever to open the gun chamber and the bullet casing will pop out. Then close the gun chamber and the bullets in the magazine below will be automatically filled into the empty chamber. This avoids the trouble of loading bullets one by one.
Every time you shoot, you only need to pull the lever and close it. After the bullets in the magazine are fired, you can pull out the entire magazine and replace it with a magazine full of bullets, and you can shoot continuously.
Of course, you don’t need to consider the magazine when designing for the first time. Just load the bullets one by one. I mainly don’t understand how to design the barrel part of the gun body where bullets are loaded. After all, I am not a professional.
I am a mechanical technician who cannot figure out the structure of this tie rod, so I can only give you my own ideas for reference. If you have a better method, then you don’t need to consider my plan, just your own design."
Claude said it very simply, but the problem was that after he drew the appearance of his so-called imaginary rifle on the small blackboard, he almost wanted to curse when he saw it. Damn, why is it so similar to the kid's 38 rifle?
No way, Claude is not a military fan. Even though his boss took him to the shooting range several times in his previous life, he has no feeling or interest in those firearms. The rifles he draws now look like 38 rifles, and they are purely those anti-Japanese weapons in his previous life.
The impression left by the drama on him was that the little devil's 38 rifle could be regarded as the most profound impression of firearms in his memory.
"Claude, how far do you think this rifle can shoot?" Mrs. Sonia stood up and asked like a good student.
As for the range... Claude rubbed his chin and thought for a moment: "I hope that the precise aiming range of this rifle can reach two hundred meters, the effective killing range is four hundred meters, and the longest range can reach five hundred meters.
About meters..."
"Uh..." Mrs. Sonia was stunned: "Is this possible?"
How is it impossible? In the previous life, it was said that the 38-meter rifle of the little devil had a maximum range of 800 meters, and a shot fired at a person within 400 meters could penetrate both the front and back eyes. Of course, Claude did not expect to create a 38-meter rifle.
For a rifle as mature as the Eight Rifle, the biggest improvement would be to reach half the range. At least it can shoot farther than a matchlock gun.
"We will proceed step by step, first design and manufacture a musket that can be loaded into the breech as I said, and then improve it later. I believe that one day we will be able to create a gun that can fire continuously at such a long range as I said.
Rifle," Claude said.
Then he pointed to the rifle body he drew on the blackboard: "My original idea was that the lever of the gun body is linked here, just like a revolver. The barrel goes here, and behind it is the gun body. When you pull the lever, the top of the gun body
A door is exposed, and inside is the gun chamber, which can be loaded with bullets. Push the lever, the door on the gun body closes, and the gun chamber becomes a sealed space. After shooting, pull the lever again, the door on the gun body opens again, and the warhead has been fired inside.
The bullet shell will pop out automatically.
But I really don’t know how to design the door on the gun body, how to link the lever, and how the fired bullet casings will pop out automatically. I have no clue. Sonia, you have more experience in this regard than my sister.
You need to think more about it. In addition, if the wooden butt is removed, the rifle should be a rectangular parallelepiped in addition to the front barrel and the rear body. All mechanical movement changes should be inside this cuboid...
."
Mrs. Sonia nodded: "Okay, I have an idea."
"In addition to the design of this rifle, you also have to find a way to research the mass production steps and production equipment of that safety explosive, because if that kind of safety explosive can be mass-produced, maybe we can reduce the number of bullets.
The amount of medicine can also increase the range further, and the grenade can also be changed into a hand grenade, which is more powerful and can be thrown farther," Claude said.
"I understand, second brother." Sister Anna replied: "Are you leaving now? Are you coming in the next few days..."
Claude nodded: "Well, we will go to Vibato Port the day after tomorrow, so I will go to the theater headquarters to handle some official business in the next two days, and I won't come over. After this expedition captures Vibato Port
I'll come over and have a look."
"Wait a minute, I made a gift for you." said her sister Anna, pulling out a large box from under the table, opening it, and inside there were revolvers in black leather sheaths.
"Why are there so many?" Claude was stunned.
Sister Anna placed all these revolvers on the table: "Sister Sonia helped me make them in the alchemical magic talisman during this period. Together with the first three, there are a total of ten revolvers here. There will be no more in the future.
They are handmade using alchemical magic talisman arrays. When machines can be used for mass production and assembly, these ten revolvers will become the most memorable initial sample guns. This is what Sister Sonia told me."
Claude was surprised: "All mine?"
Sister Anna curled her lips: "You are so beautiful, I want one, sister Sonia wants one, Mike wants one, little Booker also wants one, and big guy Gemmy also wants one.
"You can only take one of the remaining five revolvers, and keep the other four revolvers for now. They can be given to others as favors and gifts in the future. This is the most precious gift to our Field family."
Claude shook his head and smiled bitterly, glanced at Mrs. Sonia next to him, and said to his heart that she taught his sister all this thinking, and there was nothing he could do about it. He told her to follow Master Bird to design muskets and customize them for private use. She knew how to add value to firearms.
.
"Which one should you give me?" Claude asked.
"The top one, numbered one." Mrs. Sonia answered from the side.
There was also a serial number. Claude took out the top revolver and took out the gun from the black holster to look at it carefully. He saw that the barrel and body of the gun were painted silver, and there were several lines carved on the gun frame.
The golden wheat wave pattern has turned the originally dark revolver into a beautiful decorative art piece. The biggest change is the gun handle. The original two pieces of wood have been replaced by two pieces of light yellow.
Ivory, the ivory is also engraved with a simplified image of a farmer farming, with a line of words engraved below: Field Revolver (1)
Claude breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, you didn't make it gold, otherwise I wouldn't dare wear it. But Anna, why did you engrave this farmer on the handle?"
Mrs. Sonia replied: "Claude, you have forgotten your family's surname. Field's ancient Hertzian meaning is farmer. This is to commemorate your invention of the revolver, so we named this revolver after Field."
"Okay, Farmer's Revolver, that's a good name." Claude said: "If you can design and manufacture the rifle I want, I can name it after your family's surname, or your name, Sonia Five-Nine
How about a new rifle?"
"Why is there a 591 inside?" Mrs. Sonia was puzzled.
Claude explained: "This is a commemoration of the year. This year is the 590th year of the Holy Light Calendar. If you can design this new rifle next year, then the commemorative year will be 591, which means that you are in the 5th year of the Holy Light Calendar."
This new rifle was designed and manufactured in 1911. If it were the year after that, it would be 592, which is very simple and clear."
"Oh, that's it." Mrs. Sonia suddenly realized that this was a good naming method.
"Take this, too." My sister Anna also knew very well that in the design of the new rifle, she could only help Lady Sonia, so there was no controversy about the naming of Claude's rifle, and she handed it to Claude.
A small black leather bag, or the kind of small square leather bag that can be hung on the belt at the waist.
"What is this?" Claude opened it and saw six identical silver wheels inside, with bullets in brass bullet cases already stuffed in the wheels.
"These are the bullets Anna has worked hard to make for you these past few days. Each revolver has six replacement wheels, and there are a total of forty-two bullets on the gun body. The wheels in this bullet bag are inserted into the back.
There is a small bone piece attached to it, which is used to prevent collisions. Remember to pull out the small bone piece when changing the wheel." Mrs. Sonia said.
Claude was very satisfied, now he finally had his own pistol.
"Call the big man Germi in. The revolver numbered ten is for him." said his sister Anna.
The big man Germi was very pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect that Anna would think of him and specially made a revolver for him. For a moment, he just smiled with his mouth open. Claude knew that his sister Anna regarded him as one of his own.
The other one also hopes that he can protect his own safety.
"Gemi, remember, there is a small safety switch on the handle of the gun. It's right here. It's like a latch. When you turn it to the top, the hammer can be opened, and you can shoot by pulling the trigger. If you turn it to the bottom, the hammer is fixed.
, the trigger can't be pulled, this is to prevent misfire, remember?" Sister Anna pointed the revolver at the big man Gemmy to see the safety.
The big man Gimi smiled stupidly and nodded. He and Claude had the same bullet bag.
The two days passed very quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the day of the expedition to Vibato Port. Claude got up early in the morning, kissed his wife and children goodbye, and hugged his mother goodbye, promising to bring his brother Bro
Vic was brought to his mother in a lively manner. Then he was escorted off by Alec's butler and the manor's servants and got into the carriage. He was escorted by a small group of guards led by the big man Germi to the theater headquarters.
During this expedition, Claude will accompany the new supreme commander of the theater, General Alges, who will command the Guards Division that has been resting for half a month, General Beach Kerin's 3rd Rock Division, and the 2nd Rock Division.
The two main field groups led by General Servicit set off together, and then at the Dolinibara River, they again gathered the two main field groups of the 1st Rock Division led by General Bolognik, and went straight to Wickham Castle, where they joined the Thunder Legion.
meet.
At that time, Claude will also command a division of the Thunder Legion to attack the Vibato Port of the Kingdom of Hicks. He will sit back and watch or watch the Guards Division capture the Vibato Port City and obtain the victory for General Alges.
The meritorious service of being promoted to the Marshal of the Kingdom completely ended the colonial war that had been going on with the Kingdom of Hicks for more than four years...
In the morning, Claude needed to attend an expedition ceremony at the theater headquarters, and then accompany General Alges to set off. On the way, Claude's convoy encountered a signal soldier from the theater headquarters. He conveyed General Alges's message to Jean-Claude.
Lord went directly to the main square of Lanhu Town, where the expedition ceremony was held. General Algers, General Beachlin, General Skerry and General Sevicit had already passed by.
Claude had a headache. In fact, there was a small square in front of the theater headquarters. It was originally planned to hold a simple expedition ceremony there, but General Alges and the senior officers of the Guards Division
He likes to be lively, and at the same time he also wants to promote the military power of the Guards Division, so he temporarily moved the expedition ceremony to the larger Lanhu Town Square. Claude suspected that they might also give speeches and hold a military parade.
ceremony.
It's really a pain in the ass. I don't like the excitement. Why don't you go on a low-key expedition... Claude muttered and turned the carriage to the main square of Lanhu Town. Due to the expansion of Lanhu Town, this large square is newly planned and built.
It's located in the west of town. It would take Claude about twenty minutes to get there.
As we approached the main square of Lanhu Town, more and more people were on the street. Most of them went to the main square to watch the expedition ceremony. There was no popular entertainment in this era, so the rare expedition ceremony became everyone's favorite
There was such a commotion that the carriage and the escort team beside it had to slow down because there were too many vehicles and pedestrians in front.
Just as they were about to enter the main square, a vendor's donkey cart collided with a flatbed cart full of people in front of them. The two sides were arguing fiercely. The big man Gemie impatiently asked the two guards in front to drive them away.
, don’t block the road. What I didn’t expect was that a few boys sitting on the flatbed actually pushed and shoved the guards who drove them away, and yelled and cursed.
"Go with four more people and arrest those boys." The big man Gemi's face darkened, and he waved his hand and ordered the few guards around him.
Claude sat impatiently in the carriage, opened the door and asked what happened. The big man Gemie ran to the side of the carriage and was about to reply, when his face suddenly changed. Claude felt a strong palpitation, and when he glanced sideways, he saw something in the corner of his eye.
Guang Zheng saw a man wearing a gray robe and covering his face thirty or forty meters away on the left, holding a wooden stick in his hand and pointing at the carriage he was riding in. A large, dazzling fireball of red light as big as a basin was flying rapidly.
Come.
"Fireball...Magician...?" Before Claude could wake up from the shock, the big man Gemmy grabbed him by the collar and pulled him out of the carriage.
He hit the ground, and then he felt the heavy body of the big man Gemie pressing on his body.
"Boom!" There was a loud sound, and Claude lay on the ground feeling dizzy. His body seemed to have been hit hard, his chest felt tight, and his mouth and nose were filled with dust from the ground. Only then did he hear the sounds around him.
There were frightened screams, screams, crying, and the sound of something burning.
Am I being attacked by a magician? Claude didn't understand what was going on, but then his neck felt hot, as if there was a stream of heat pouring on his neck. Claude immediately thought of the big man lying on top of him.
Ge Mi quickly turned over hard and threw off the big man Ge Mi who was pressing on him.
He raised his head and looked around, only to see that half of his carriage had been blown away by the big fireball. The curtains in the carriage were burning, and dust was flying around him. Several guards nearby fell to the ground, feeling dizzy.
I tried to get up, but the mount was gone, and the big man Gemie fell in a pool of blood...
"He's not dead yet, over there!" a strange voice shouted from far down the street.
At this moment, Claude found that he could not remember any spells in his mind. He could only lean on the wheel and pull out the revolver he carried...
