Chapter 1558 New Direction of Firearms Research
On April 7, the 20th year of Tianxuan, Hua Tielan, the new Minister of Military Department of the Holy Land of the Yidi Territory, officially took office. At 11 o'clock the night before, Zhang Yao, who had just finished the handover, took 100,000 army soldiers and boarded a special car heading west with a sigh of relief. The steam train used for temporary supplies at the front line of the Continental Raiders went straight to Xirong City in the Western Continent.
Qu Mao is not sure whether Zhang Yao's injury will be completely healed, but the doctor at Yicheng Military Hospital, the sacred place of Emperor Yi's territory, told Qu Mao: Zhang Yao's injury should be able to continue to rest for more than half a year, but how can Zhang Yao bear it? He could not hold back his inner desire for war, and ran away with the troops as soon as the handover was over.
Qu Mao had no choice but to chase to the steam train station by himself, and hastily wrote a letter, asking Zhang Yao to hand it to Zhao Pan himself.
In the letter, Qu Mao relayed the evaluation opinion of the doctors of Yicheng Military Hospital on Zhang Yao's injury, told Zhao Pan his concern about Zhang Yao's injury, and asked Zhao Pan to take good care of Zhang Yao on the front line.
After Zhang Yao led his troops to Xirong City in the Marquis of Shaliu, the staff of the Marquis of Shaliu would naturally arrange for Zhang Yao and his troops to advance to the western mainland to attack the frontline positions. Qu Mao was not very worried about these things.
After sending Zhang Yao away, Qu Mao did not continue to return to the third-tier courtyard on the outskirts of Liandao Liancheng, but found a navy super warship and went straight to the small island of Twin Islands midway.
When he came to Midway Twin Islands, Qu Mao did not review the firearms army recruits in training on Midway Twin Islands, nor did he go to the Firearms Army Officer University and the Firearms University to give speeches. Instead, the goal was very obvious, and he went straight to the firearms research on the small island of Midway Twin Islands Place.
After knocking on the office door of the director of the Firearms Research Institute, the director of the Firearms Research Institute was very surprised to see Qu Mao.
Qu Mao didn’t wait for the director of the Firearms Research Institute to greet him, and immediately criticized: “Director, your Firearms Research Institute is too lacking in self-motivation.
Since November last year, all units and fields in the Holy Land of Yidi Territory have been actively preparing for battle, but the Firearms Research Institute has not made any contribution.
You should have heard about it: Internal combustion engine locomotives, airships, parachutes, wingsuits, new military industrial parks, etc. are all developing rapidly, but what contribution has the Firearms Research Institute made? "
The director of the Firearms Research Institute said aggrievedly: "My lord, the development and application of gunpowder weapons is now at a bottleneck stage.
The direction you proposed, the subordinates feel that the research and development of the Firearms Research Institute has basically completed the research and development, and there is really nothing new to develop..."
Qu Mao rolled his eyes wildly, interrupted the director of the Firearms Research Institute and said, "Damn it! There is no new thing to research and develop?
How much did your machine gun fire rate increase? Can your gun turn the corner?
According to my information: your machine gun basically shoots between 6 and 8 bullets per minute, and your machine gun has only 50 bullets in its belt.
do you know? There is a machine gun in another world that can fire 2000 rounds of bullets in one minute!
After your machine gun fires 50 rounds at a time, according to your current reloading mechanism, the enemy troops can rush up hundreds of meters away and hack your machine gun fighters to death.
Based on your current machine gun, to seal off a 100-meter-wide battlefield, I am afraid that you must be equipped with at least 10 machine guns. In another world, a machine gun can easily block a 500-meter-wide position.
That's it, do you dare to say that your research and development is over? I rely on! "
After Qu Mao finished cursing, the director of the Firearms Research Institute said: "My lord, the book "Application Description of Different World Technology" co-authored by you and Liu Qianhui a few years ago, our Firearms Research Institute has already torn it up. Everything that can be studied has already been studied, and what should not be understood is still not understood.
If there is still a brand new book, I think the Firearms Research Institute can definitely find a new research direction.
My subordinates heard that there are still hundreds of prisoners of war from another world imprisoned in the Xinshou Village of the Gillette Province of the Tassel Empire in the Eastern Continent, how about..."
Qu Mao waved his hand to interrupt the director of the Firearms Research Institute, sighed, and said: "Forget it, your recent research direction can be improved in terms of the caliber, firing speed, and ease of use of different firearms.
Cannons can be designed in different calibers. The current artillery is still relatively clumsy, which is not conducive to long-range carrying and raiding.
For example, regularly draw spiral patterns on the inner wall of the gun barrel to see if it can effectively improve the range and shooting accuracy.
I think with our technological level, we should be able to study the range of the artillery to a range of 5 kilometers to 10 kilometers, as well as the targeting system of the artillery. You can set up a corresponding project team for pre-research on these technologies. In fact, I I don't really understand either.
Over there at Xinshou Village, I will take some time to go there first, and then organize researchers from the Firearms Research Institute to go to Liuhu Town over there for investigation in batches. "
The Firearms Research Institute has been "scrubbling" to record the new direction of firearms research given by Qu Mao. After the recording, it said: "Thank you so much, my lord. The subordinates you mentioned have been recorded. At least Within a year, the Firearms Research Institute no longer has to worry about the research direction.
It would be great to go to Novice Village, but rumors say that the Chosen players and prisoners of war are very scary..."
Qu Mao glared at the director of the Firearms Research Institute, and said: "You can wait for the notification about the Xinshou Village, if you are notified, it will naturally be arranged there.
In addition, in another world, mortars are used in another way, which is modified into one that can be carried by a single soldier. Another world calls it a grenadier. A soldier can carry three shells. The principle of being able to carry a grenadier seems to be very simple.
After you go to Novice Village, you can find some basic information from the relevant God of Choice players. "
The Firearms Research Institute said while recording: "Yes, my lord, my subordinates have already recorded it.
It’s no wonder that when all the scientific researchers encounter a bottleneck, they look forward to your lord coming to guide them in person. Listening to your words, the subordinates will save at least 20 years of struggle..."
Qu Mao waved his hand to interrupt the director of the Firearms Research Institute, and said, "Stop flattering, you need to open your minds, and you can't always wait for me to come.
I won't waste time with you, I will go directly to Xinshou Village, now go to Wucheng Port from here, and then take a steam train from Wucheng Port, it is convenient to go there.
Maybe this time another book similar to "Description of the Application of Science and Technology in Another World" can be produced.
You also have to work hard yourself, and don't slack off. "
The director of the Firearms Research Institute hurriedly said: "Yes, my lord! Go and do your work. With your words, at least there will be no shortage of research directions for the past twenty years."
