Chapter 247: Bidding dark horse

In order to distinguish the muskets produced by Shangwen Armory, Yingyu also made no secret of engraving a text on the rear end of the barrel, and slowly pressed it with a punching machine. Since it is the only musket that can be produced at present, after this musket is equipped, the soldiers of the State of Qin call it Wen-style musket.

Yingyu not only produced guns, but also began large-scale casting of artillery. Similarly, the artillery produced was stamped with the word "文". Called Wen-style artillery.

The guns produced by Wang Jian, Wei Liao, and Yang Duanhe are all imitation Wen-style guns and Wen-style guns. In competition, Yingyu has a great chance of winning. Yingyu himself is also determined to win. to this end. Yingyu also wore a western dress specially. Purple little vest. It's a little cute and playful.

People came forward and praised. Shang Wen dismissed it. This guy is very ostentatious about everything.

The products that participated in the selection seem to be unmatched. Because, people all know. The Li Armory is still under construction, but Shang Wen doesn't think so. Meng Yi told Shang Wen that there are as many as four sets of hydraulic machine tools to support the Li's Armory. In addition, there are also a large number of barrel production equipment, two steam engines just out of the factory. All were bought at a big price.

But Shangwen heard from others that the Li's arsenal is still under construction, but why is there so much production equipment? Moreover, among the current bidding positions, the position of Li's Armory is still empty. Don't you come to participate? Shang Wen was a little disappointed.

"My lord, my lord." A young man's voice came.

"I'm sorry, my lord. It's late." A young man came to Shangwen with three muskets on his back. Looks like a scholar dressed up. He was carrying three muskets. Really tired and not light.

"My lord, can we still participate in the muskets of our Li's arsenal?" the young man said.

"My lord, he is Li Si's eldest son, Li You." Meng Yi whispered.

"Oh." Shang Wen nodded. This Li You was the prefect of Yingchuan County in the future, and it is said that he was taken care of by Cao Shen. I didn't expect to be so young now. At most, it is just adulthood. Immature body. Looks weak and can't help but wind.

"It's not too late. It's not too late." Shang Wen said.

"My lord, this is a sample gun produced by our Li's arsenal. Please see." As Li You unloaded three muskets.

Shang Wen took a look. The Wen-style musket is actually the American M1812 musket, which also has a strong European and American style. The design style of the **** can be seen. It's straight, much like the British.

The buttstock of the rifle produced by Li You has been completely improved. Use a lot of streamlined design. It makes it very comfortable and smooth to use. Shang Wen also noticed. The bolt part uses a lot of screws and rivets. Rather than the Wen-style musket, it is made by one-time suppression.

"Can you talk about the processing of this gun?" Shang Wen said.

"Yes. This gun has only 23 parts. And most of them are stamped by a punching machine at one time, and then simply polished. It can be assembled quickly." Li You said.

Shang Wen took the musket and started various actions. Wave back and forth. In order to check the sturdiness of the musket.

Shang Wen nodded. Show approval. Li You was very happy.

At the same time Shangwen asked.

"Why use screws and rivets?" Shang Wen asked.

"Easy to disassemble. The reason is that if the gun barrel is used for a long time, it will be hot and unable to fight, especially long-term shooting. This requires replacing the barrel. But other methods. The speed is fast, but the barrel cannot be firmly fixed. After using the screw rivets, you can control it well. Behind.” Li You said as he opened a small hole from the back of the **** and took out some gun equipment.

"These can be removed from the barrels and bolts. Moreover, these things. Standard production. They can be used interchangeably." Li You said.

Shang Wen nodded. "How is the range?" Shang Wen asked.

"It's on par with Wen-style muskets." Li You replied.

"En." Shang Wen nodded. "Try it. Give me the report in a while." Shang Wen said, handing the gun to Meng Yi. Comparison. The Li's musket is even more advantageous because it adopts stamping processing as a whole and can be mass-produced. There are only twenty-three parts, which is very convenient to assemble. In contrast. Wen-style muskets are somewhat inadequate. Some machined parts must be made by hand. The accuracy is a little bit worse. And there is no guarantee of speed. There are also many parts and components, which are relatively fine.

Taking into account the speed of musket equipment. Shang Wen has already made his own choice, which is Li's musket. The advantages of this musket are obvious.

The results of the experiment were quickly brought over. Sixty rounds of bullets are comparable to the Wen-style musket at the distance of fifty and eighty steps. The choice is already obvious.

Shangwen immediately announced that Li's muskets had received a military order for one million muskets. Li You was very happy. For these. He did it secretly by himself. There is no workshop. It started in an old house. And he also began to study muskets, and dismantled Wen-style muskets countless times. Just figured out the principle of firing a musket. Then, they discussed with the craftsmen regardless of their status. Finally, after countless experiments, they developed a processing method different from the Wen-style musket.

Yingyu is very confident in this musketeer campaign. Because no one is better than her. But now. He even ran out a Li's musket. Also took away one million orders.

Yingyu immediately left the field in a fit of anger. I didn't care about the artillery of the campaign later.

As a result, the bidding barely ended in the repressive atmosphere that followed Yingyu's departure.

Finally, the order of one million guns was taken away by the newly established Li's Armory. However, the cost price of a musket dropped from the original fifty-and-a-half to two. The price gap is very large.

The number of artillery is one thousand. Each company produces equally. The production of gun mounts is produced by Xi Lao's bicycle factory. Because they have very solid technology. A large number of light and strong gun mounts can be produced. As for the bedding or something. All were divided up by some civilian officials’ clothing factories. The largest share comes from Zhao Gao's textile factory. Because he began to equip the steam engine production line, and at the same time greatly improved the spinning machine. It's not surprising to take a large share of orders.

On the contrary, Princess Wenyang's arsenal became the biggest upset. Only some orders for the production of artillery were obtained, and none of the others.

Shang Wen also enjoyed it. Anyway, how to fight, just fight like this. Anyway, I didn't care about it. My own arsenal has completely become a research and development department, as long as I collect some technical patents. The more I produce, the more I receive.
