Chapter 124: Hand gun

"Zhao Gao. Ask Mr. Qin to come immediately." King Qin said after hearing the news of Li Si's report.

"Here." Zhao Gao nodded respectfully and agreed.

"Wait. Feel free to call Wang Ben too." King Qin then ordered.

"Here." Zhao Gao respectfully withdrew slowly.

Shang Wen was constantly remembering something with his notebook. The question that Shang Wen considers is that the current potential of Feiying-1 has basically been tapped out. The first is the limited load capacity. And that **** power unit. All this is destined to be no further upgrade for Flying Eagle One. Redesign another kind of airship.

Shang Wen began to sketch in his notebook. The first draft of the design of the Flying Eagle II. Shang Wen felt that the overall scale of the Flying Eagle II must be further expanded. The length and width must be more than twice that of the original Flying Eagle 1, in order to provide strong power. A steam engine must be used. This is an indisputable fact. I tested the Flying Eagle One last time. Manpower can no longer fully resist the interference of strong winds. There is also the overall structure. Some may require iron products. Iron is an iron pipe. The wing part needs to be reworked with wood. The method of hollowing out seems to be very backward. Must be machined. Manufacturing is light in weight. Strong wood. Shang Wen summarized the considerations for improvement.

At this time, Wang Ben couldn't wait to get on the airship. The airship slowly lifted off. The soldiers under him cheered. Shang Wen couldn't help but smile. This guy just loves to be pushy.

There are many problems with airships. Shang Wen listed a lot of questions. But the most important question is that the airship must have a strong heart. The steam engine is the core power of the airship. This is already very prominent. And looking at all current devices. The Qin Army still lacks effective means of transportation. Even if it is a carriage, only the army can use it. A large number of supply vehicles are all ox carts. Speed ​​and load capacity are incomparable. Improve the steam engine to make it more compact and easy to install. Is the top priority. If you don't make changes. The arsenal needs a lot of iron and coal. Will severely bring down this country.

Cheap and fast transportation. Shangwen recorded it in his notebook. This is my primary job at the moment, and the work of guns and artillery is left to others. What I provide is the drawing. Comment. For the rest of the processing, let the craftsmen figure it out for themselves. Shang Wen firmly believes that Chinese people never lack innovation. What is lacking is opportunity. Is the platform.

The airship has been flying freely in the air. The soldiers ran back and forth with the airship like runaway wild horses. Shangwen stopped recording. Looking at the scene in front of me. A general of the Qin army who has never conquered the sky. Seeing his general can take off. Suddenly aroused the victorious spirit among the Qin army generals.

"Mr. Qin. Mr. Qin." Zhao Gao shouted breathlessly.

Shang Wen turned his head when he heard the voice and looked at Zhao Gao who was sweating profusely.

"What's the matter?" Shang Wen asked calmly.

"The king...the king, please discuss important matters. Where is General Wang? The king has also requested it." Zhao Gao said.

"that". Shang Wen pointed to the airship in the sky and said.

Zhao Gao was somewhat surprised when he saw the airship. Then it was a little difficult to handle. Because he didn't know how to call Wang Ben down.

"Forget it, I'll go first. Let him follow later." Shang Wen said.

"Then, that's it." Zhao Gao said helplessly.

Shang Wen followed Zhao Gao to the Qin Palace. Seeing that King Qin and Li Si were discussing something.

"Farewell to the king." Shang Wen saluted.

"Get up." King Qin waved his hand and said.

"Zhao Guo bought a cannon from Chu State. Yan Guo is very anxious now and needs to see the gun right away. Does Mr. Qin have any countermeasures?" King Qin said straightforwardly.

Shang Wen heard the news. So fast. My own production of firearms has just solved the production of barrels. Mass production is still impossible. The craftsmen work hard. More than fifty muskets are produced a day. Basically it is the limit. If it is resolved in a short time. impossible. It is really impossible.

Shang Wen frowned. King Qin looked at Shang Wen. Li Si also watched. Looking forward to Shangwen's approach.

"My lord, the output of this musket is very limited. It is very difficult to complete in such a short period of time." Shang Wen said as he took out his "notebook." Opening the notebook, Shang Wen said like a treasurer.

"Current production of muskets. With full-power production, it can produce 50 muskets a day. There are more than three artillery." Shang Wenzhao said in the notebook.

King Qin and Li Si stared at Shang Wen's "notebook" curiously.

"Unless. Unless." Shang Wen said after seeing the current size data of the Musketeers.

"Oh. What?" King Qin said.

"Unless I hand over all the muskets of my Daqin musket team." Shang Wen said.

Li Si gasped. The musket team that was finally formed, now handed over all the muskets equipped. Give it to the Six Nations. This, this is basically a collaborating with the enemy.

King Qin was even more puzzled. This is too bold.

"The muskets currently equipped by my Daqin musket team. The caliber. The styles are not uniform. The training is very uncoordinated." Shang Wen explained.

"These muskets are basically waste products. I can re-plan the production of new standard muskets. Uniform caliber, length, bullets, etc.. How to deal with the muskets in hand becomes a problem. Continued use will affect soldiers' familiarity with the weapons, and there are many problems. It is better to treat them as all. Sell ​​the weapon to Yan Guo." Shang Wen said slowly. I was sorting my thoughts in my mind. This trick came to my mind suddenly.

"In addition, Daqin will send a team of more than a dozen people to help Yan Army soldiers familiarize themselves with muskets. Observe secretly. Summarize the application of muskets on the battlefield."

"Can the Prime Minister ask the envoys of Yan State. Do they need artillery? If so, I can provide 30 artillery." Shang Wen said while looking at the notes in his hand.

King Qin was even more surprised. What is this guy doing. Do you want to sell out Qin Jun's property?

"The king does not need to worry. The caliber of these artillery is very small. The two-inch caliber is basically unable to meet the needs of combat. Moreover, these artillery have not experienced actual combat. The minister thought, and then the two sides of Yan and Zhao fought. Try one. Test the power of the artillery. Then improve it." Shang Wen said.

"En." After listening to Shangwen's explanation, King Qin thought it was OK. After all, these guns have not been tested. And I have to send a team to observe the effects of these artillery. There is basically no war now. Why not use this opportunity above that.
