1717 New American Empire

With the last batch of 21st century engineering and technical personnel in place, the company began to debug the performance of all equipment at an extremely fast speed to the extent that it can perform at 70%. Before, these equipment could only perform at 100%.

Thirty to forty percent of the performance. Even if these equipment are eliminated from Chinese factories in the 21st century, they are still too advanced and too complicated for these 18th century workers. Xiao Lin and the others are almost

Except for Qu Zhenguo, none of them understand it very well.

And Qu Zhenguo, a factory veteran, also has too many things to do. There is no way, who told Xiao Lin's mother Zhang Yaling to be unreliable? Qu Zhenguo is the only one to take charge of it to prevent a few inexperienced boys.

Make mistakes. Usually these workers just read books and learn from videos. When Qu Zhenguo is free, he takes a class to answer their doubts. However, Qu Zhenguo is just one person, and there are tens of thousands of workers in the company.

I can't take care of it at all.

This time it will be fine. In total, there are more than 90 skilled workers, and a dozen of them have obtained senior engineer qualifications. Even if they are not particularly outstanding talents in the 21st century, they can be used to teach these

There was absolutely no problem for people in the 18th century. The company has a total of fifteen workshops and factories, each of which has opened several large training classes to train workers in turn every day. According to statistics, these people can train for up to half a year.

You will be able to operate the equipment skillfully.

Once the industry is on track, people's livelihood will naturally be affected. Especially, this is a light industrial factory, and the products produced are closely related to everyone's lives. Xiao Lin now no longer needs to purchase convenience from the 21st century

If you have food, you can make it in your own factory, which frees up a lot of space. And as for clothes, except for some extremely high-end clothes used as store treasures, rewards or gifts, you have to buy them from the 21st century, ordinary jeans,

The company can also produce cotton clothes and ordinary suits by itself.

Xiao Lin made a special inspection and found that the quality was pretty good, not much worse than those made in the 21st century. In the next step, the company could even produce various types of bicycles by itself. In this way, there would be three major categories of bicycles to choose from.

disappeared from Xiao Lin's purchase list. Xiao Lin took advantage of this opportunity to purchase a batch of engineering equipment that had been eliminated by the military. Where China was founded, there were engineering corps, mainly belonging to the railway corps. Even now,

The organization of the railway corps is still retained.

Naturally, there will be a lot of engineering equipment left. Some were released for civilian use during the reform and opening up, and some were used to support Pakistan Railways and friendly forces in the Middle East and Africa. Now, there is only a batch of equipment from 2002 in the army.

They are about to be phased out. With the crazy maintenance standards of the Chinese army, these mechanical equipment can still be used for another ten years if they are renovated. However, the country cannot digest them. Except for some township and village enterprises, who can still value these old things.

The military found Xiao Lin and originally tried to see if they could sell it to Sorento, but Xiao Lin ate them all. Sorento didn't say anything after knowing it. They did look down on these old equipment. Xiao Lin paid again.

With a little capital, this batch of about 1,000 construction equipment, enough to support the construction of a small town of 500,000 people, all arrived on the company's land in July 1720.

The reason why he bought these equipment is because Xiao Lin decided to officially expand the company's five towns into small towns that can accommodate at least 100,000 people. This was made to cooperate with the company's next expansion plan. Xiao Lin felt that

, the company cannot be like the British and French. The people's settlements are too scattered and the overall strength is strong, but they are always defeated individually. Xiao Lin is absolutely sure that every city must have at least 100,000 civilians, and

The next settlement can only be separated out if there are 5,000 regular troops plus armed police stationed there.

In this way, even if it is besieged by an enemy army, a city can still hold on until reinforcements arrive. As for the future city planning, Xiao Lin made many choices, but he still did not use ancient style walled cities or fortresses, but adopted

Modern city construction plan. Of course, some defensive facilities are indispensable. City walls are no longer suitable, but watchtowers are very practical. The entire city is defended by six watchtowers in the shape of a six-pointed star. This is not about summoning the devil.

Ceremony, but this is the most economical and practical.

The six watchtowers are next to each other. Any enemy army passing between them will be attacked by the firepower of the watchtowers. The watchtower is relatively large and can accommodate an army of 500 people. It has seven floors, with machine guns arranged on the fifth floor and machine guns on the sixth floor.

The arrangement of direct-fire artillery on the seventh floor is a bit nondescript, but after many verifications, such defensive facilities cannot be broken by the British and French in this era. The first ones to start construction were Victory Town and Starting Town, which are on the periphery of the ruled area.

As the bridge head and the end of the bridge, the safety of both sides must be ensured first. Using the 21st century reinforced concrete technology, it will be basically completed in early 21. The arsenal of the Republic of Belan has also been producing machines and the Heavy Fist II.

A front-loaded rifled gun that can shoot directly. After Xiao Lin arranged for ten workers with extensive knowledge of mechanical equipment to train a group of equipment operators, he returned to the 21st century again. This time, he rushed directly to the Republic of Beran.

In the arsenal, good news came again. It wasn't that the Chongquan III artillery was manufactured. Ever since the 3,200 large-caliber howitzers were produced, Xiao Lin had no interest in the Chongquan III. The reason why he had always been

The support is just to form the company's unique artillery manufacturing process system. Zhao Menghai and Yu Wei are also really good. When Xiao Lin decided to stop the project, they completed the manufacturing of the prototype gun. After the test firing, the performance was not bad. But

, there will be no more manufacturing in the future.

The Heavy Fist Type 1 and Heavy Fist Type 2 have trained a group of qualified artillerymen for the company, so there is no need for the slightly deformed front-mounted rifled cannon such as the Heavy Fist Type 3. The information about the Heavy Fist Type 3 has been well preserved.

Down, as the company's technological reserve. Zhao Menghai got Xiao Linyi

With a large bonus, he joined the task of imitating the Type 54 122mm howitzer and manufacturing artillery shells. Zhao Menghai is a smart man, and he took out a lot of good things from the engineers hired by the company. Now he is working in the Chinese Army

You can also work as an engineer in a factory.

After all, the Type 54 is a product of China in the 1950s, and it is a copy of the heavy artillery that has appeared in the Soviet Union. The technological content is not particularly high, and it does not exceed the technology during World War II. After more than 20 rounds of each type of artillery shells were dismantled, I finally

The imitation process has been completed. However, the amount of charge must be smaller, otherwise there may be problems with the group's process, and the performance of the cannon can only be about 80%. However, in the 18th century, it was still an alien star.

weapons.

Of course, if it were just like this, Xiao Lin would not be very happy. After all, it is just an imitation process of basic artillery shells and a few not very complicated artillery shells, and it is not an imitation process of cannons. These cannons still need one less one.

Men. Xiaolin is most happy that the medium-caliber mortar that has been developed for a long time, the 82mm mortar named Raider II, has finally been produced and tested.

The Raider II mortar is a copy of the Chinese Type 67 82mm mortar. It is also an old antique, but many of it was destroyed in the past. Mortars are not cannons. Even if they fall behind, they cannot be used on the frontal battlefield.

It can also be used to fight guerrillas, but it has been sold off by the country a long time ago. Xiao

Lin used his relationship with the Belan Republic to buy the production technology. Naturally, this matter was hidden from Sorento. After all, this kind of mortar can pose a threat to their troops, which is very important.

Maybe they won't allow Xiao Lin to have this kind of power.

However, the company's technical strength is still too poor, and it has not completely copied the Type 67 82mm artillery gun. Originally, the data of the Type 67 was a caliber of 82mm, the total gun weight was 35kg, the gun body weighed 13kg, and the gun mount weighed 10

Kilogram, the base plate weighs 12 kilograms,

The gun body is 1220 mm long, the total grenade weight is 3.16 kg, the muzzle velocity is 211 m/s, the rate of fire is 25 rounds/min, the maximum range is 3040 m, the minimum range is 85 m, the high and low firing range is 45 degrees to 85 degrees, and the direction firing range is 3 on the left and right.

Degree, the number of gun crew is 8.

The final parameters of the Raider II mortar manufactured by the company are only equivalent to the Type 67's predecessor, the Type 53 82mm mortar. Not only is it heavier, the accuracy is poorer, but the range is also relatively short. Of course, Xiao Lin still

He happily encouraged the engineers, and then asked the arsenal to complete the corresponding manufacturing equipment as soon as possible, and he would transport it to 1720 for production. There were too many people from the Belan Republic in the arsenal, and one of them would be Zarkam's spy.

If it is produced directly in the arsenal, Zarkam will definitely know about it and interfere. It is better to wait a while, transport the equipment to the company, and then produce it by yourself. Assemble some equipment and machine tools, Zarkam will have no reason

Come to stop it. Anyway, they are all manufactured separately. I haven’t seen more than 40% of the equipment, so I really can’t tell what it is used for. As long as the Raider II officially joins the army, then it can start to fight big battles.

Some people may not know why there are 82mm caliber mortars, and why the howitzers have 122mm and 152mm calibers instead of 80mm, 120mm and 150mm. This is the cunningness of the Soviet Russians. With this setup, as long as

Once the enemy's artillery shells are captured, they can be used directly. However, after the enemy captures their artillery shells, they have to give up because they cannot be stuffed into the barrel.
