Chapter 93: Initial mention of arms trade

"But these are not problems." Shang Wen took a big turn.

"On the one hand, these problems will be solved, mainly technical. Just like this musket, it is a type of flintlock. It needs to install propellant, flint, and metal pieces to fire the gun. But there is another way in the future, Basically compress the above requirements into a bullet shell." Shanen said with interest. King Qin listened in a daze. Because many vocabularies were not heard by King Qin, let alone understanding.

Shang Wen looked at King Qin with a puzzled face, but didn't want to disrupt himself. Shang Wen had to change the topic.

"The other is to make up for it through queues and tactical arrangements." Shang Wen finished speaking and glanced at King Qin secretly. King Qin's expression finally relaxed. It seemed that King Qin could still understand the tactical arrangements.

"Soldiers can line up in three rows of firing arrays and shoot in turns. This can make up for the trouble of musket loading, and the subsequent soldiers can shoot calmly to form a powerful firepower net. Prevent the enemy from advancing." Shang Wen said.

King Qin nodded and said. Express thumbs up.

"This is the same as Da Qin's crossbowman shooting." King Qin said in association.

"That's it." Shang Wen said.

"In addition, the rifled gun is even more powerful than this type of musket. The barrel of this type of musket has a spiral rifled line. In this way, the projectile will fly out at high speed under pressure. In this way, the projectile can fly. It's farther. In comparison. This rifled gun can almost hit one hundred and fifty moves." Shang Wen said as the drawing of a rifled gun was shot.

"Oh. So far. Isn't this about the same distance as the crossbow?" King Qin said.

"Yes, it's basically the same, and it can shoot continuously, and it won't stop because the soldier's physical strength drops. The accuracy is also very high, and the most important thing is that it is powerful." Shang Wen introduced.

"Well, that's great." King Qin applauded.

"Then the widow should be equipped with this kind of musket. That kind of musket, don't need it." King Qin said critically.

"My lord, if you want to equip this kind of musket, you need to prepare a lot of this kind of bullets." As he spoke, Shangwen pulled out a design drawing of the Miniye bullet.

"That's the bullet." King Qin said.

"Yes." Shang Wen said.

"Then the widow is ready." King Qin said.

"My lord, this kind of musket is more troublesome to manufacture bullets. If there are only muskets, it is very troublesome for soldiers to fill the ammunition because of the rifling problem inside. The application of this kind of bullet is because the tail is coated with grease or wax. . It is easy to fill. Mainly in terms of price...". Shang Wen whispered.

"Money, it's not a problem to have a few people." Qin Wang said naturally.

"The king did not know that the funds consumed by the munitions were very large. The funds given by the king had already been used up." Shang Wen said.

"Oh!" King Qin was a little surprised.

"Zhao Gao, there is something about this." Qin Wang asked.

"Back to the king, the money has long been used by the king. As soon as Meng Tian's army started, the munitions were not broken, especially the rockets and grenades, which are basically in short supply. Mainly, mainly... ··" Zhao Gao said hesitantly.

"Say." King Qin said annoyedly.

"The main reason is that there is no capital. Many raw materials cannot be purchased in time." Zhao Gao finished in one breath.

"En." King Qin agreed, thinking about how to solve this problem.

Upon seeing this, Shang Wen took this opportunity to propose the idea of ​​arms trade.

"My lord, the minister has a plan." Shang Wen stepped forward and said.

"Oh, what's your plan, sir. Hurry up." King Qin stopped thinking and asked hurriedly.

"My lord, the minister in the day saw that Zhao Jiang Li Mu was very envious of my Daqin firearms. Instead, we sold it to the Six Eastern Countries at a high price. We squeezed money out of it. This can solve the problem of my Daqin firearms production." Shang Wen said.

"No, no. This way. The widow will dominate the world in the future. Isn't Da Qin facing the firearms made by myself? You, Mr. Qin, don't know the power of this firearm. No, no. It won't work. Mr. Qin." King Qin immediately waved his hand firmly.

Shangwen had not said something, but King Qin had already denied it.

"My lord, the minister hasn't finished speaking yet." Shang Wen said.

"No way, Mr. Qin. This end is open. There are endless disasters. It can be said to be harmful to me, Da Qin." King Qin said, shaking his head.

Obviously, King Qin was determined not to agree to this matter. Shang Wen hadn't even spoken out some of the rhetoric he had originally prepared, but they were rejected by King Qin. Even if I have a lot of ideas, I can't say it.

"Sir, do you have any other weapons?" King Qin also realized that he was a little reckless. He vetoed Mr. Qin recklessly. Obviously, people's face can't be maintained either. So quickly turned the topic off.

When King Qin deliberately didn't talk about it, Shang Wen had to give up. Let's talk about this later.

"My lord, there is this artillery." Shang Wen said with little interest.

Shangwen was not interested in talking anymore. But thought. If this continues, it is estimated that all weapons will have to stagnate. All, just sum up the courage to talk about it.

"This is a smoothbore gun. The principle is the same as that of a smoothbore gun, except that the material for all cast barrels must be copper. Iron-tube artillery can be used, but the number of times it needs to be used is strictly limited." Shang Wen pointed to the smoothbore gun. Said the drawing.

"Oh, why is this." King Qin asked.

"This is because of the iron tube gun. During the launch process, there was a lot of hydrogen..." Shangwen said hydrogen and then realized that he had leaked his mouth.

\"Ah, there is a very messy gas. After repeated launches, the artillery may explode, so it cannot be used multiple times. Copper artillery does not have such characteristics." Shang Wen immediately changed his words and explained. In fact, this is just a processing problem. These problems can only be solved at the stage of converter steelmaking if they are to be completely solved.

"And this is a rifled gun. The shells fired by this type of artillery are straight, far away, and more powerful than smoothbore guns. Especially when equipped with this kind of shells, the distance is more accurate." Shang Wen said, pulling out a rifled gun. Special shells. The shape of this shell is close to modern shells.

"En. If this kind of weapon is used in a siege, wouldn't it be more powerful than the stone thrower." King Qin said.

"Yes, the power is not small, and it is equipped with wheels. When moving, drag it with a horse, and it can be used as long as it arrives at the designated location. It is very portable. It can be moved quickly with the army." Shang Wen briefly introduced it. The advantages of artillery.

"En," King Qin nodded. Expressed very much approval.
