Super Chief

Although Shi Xiong has such evil tastes, he is not a selfish person.

Although this epoch-making rifle in the history of human thermal weapons was completed under his own guidance, Shi Xiong did not want to really deprive the original name of this gun.

You can play around with history, or you can change some history in an evil way, but you must maintain sufficient respect for history, otherwise the wheels of history will unknowingly crush you into a ball of dust.

Even if you want to leave a thousand history, you have to do it entirely on your own ability. Shi Xiong does not want to do things that deprive others of fame and fame. Especially since Lieutenant Ferguson, who was supposed to be famous for his rifle, is still his own **** little brother, this kind of thing can't be done even more.

As for Ferguson, naturally he didn't know Shi Xiong's thoughts, so he was moved by his boss's generous behavior.

Being able to name an epoch-making rifle with his surname is the greatest compliment to a gun inventor.

Because once this rifle is recognized by the public and becomes popular, it will follow that its family name is known to the world.

What's wrong with foreigners? Foreigners are as good as famous and profitable! As long as it is a human being, there is no bad name or good fortune except for fools and lunatics.

Do you really think that "people do not punish the earth for oneself" are just casual words?

So Lieutenant Ferguson was so drunk that he was drunk at noon. This guy was so happy that he even had a lot of hard bones, a rabbit mouth, and Jack Williams.

Fortunately, Major Hank had just brought a large number of drinks of very average quality. Major Hank only brought a few bottles of the premium whiskey worth four pounds and left them to the stone bears.

For this kind of whiskey with a very average quality and taste, Ishikuma has no intention of tasting it. It just so happened that the koji in the koji room was already ready, so Shixiong decided to make his own wine.

For Shixiong, even if it is made from sweet potatoes, the taste is much better than the whiskey of this era.

Since the Ferguson rifle has been verified by Stone Bear, the next large-scale production of this new rifle is on the agenda.

In fact, it is not so difficult to make this rifle. The most difficult point lies in the casting of the barrel, but with the addition of Jack Williams, an alchemist who is proficient in mechanical manufacturing, casting the barrel is not a problem. .

Ishikuma originally wanted to continue to transform the process of processing the barrel, which is to use the process of drilling to process the barrel, but it takes time to make a drilling lathe. Not long after Jack came to the tribe, although he was proficient in mechanical manufacturing, it might be possible to confuse him by letting him touch machine tools without any hesitation.

Moreover, to make a lathe, high-hardness steel must be made. This thing is not so easy to make, so Shi Xiong decided to slow down.

In this age, it is no problem to use cast barrels. Even if the Ferguson rifle can be loaded at seven rounds per minute, this cast barrel can withstand use.

As long as the barrel is qualified, the most difficult thing left is the firing mechanism. But this is not difficult to help Lieutenant Ferguson and Jack Williams, Stone Bear believes they can do a good job.

In this kind of thing, Shixiong just wanted to help but couldn't help, so Ferguson could only find a way to expand the scale of rifle production.

There is no shortage of raw materials and other tribes. Whether it is steelmaking or moulding, there are now a group of tribes who are more proficient in this aspect. As long as the problem of cooperation is solved, mass production of this Ferguson rifle is not a big problem.

Another problem is the production and manufacture of rifle pellets.

Regardless of whether Lieutenant Ferguson is very proficient in making guns, he has no idea how to make projectiles, and Shi Xiong does not understand this.

But after Jack Williams came here, this problem was solved immediately.

During the years he was a contract slave in the New World, he had helped the British army to do a lot of things, some simple machinery, including rifle projectiles, he had done. So how to produce rifle pellets, Jack Williams is enough.

The difficulty in mass production of projectiles now lies in lead and tin. Because the rifle pellets are made of a lead-tin alloy, the specific ratio is 12 parts lead plus 1 part tin.

But the problem is that now the Gaoshu tribe can make steel by itself, but Shixiong really doesn't know how to extract lead and tin.

But this problem was solved by the Frenchman David Adion.

This French alchemist who was captured by the British in Quebec was very proficient in metal smelting. After all, as an alchemist, the biggest pursuit is to make the legendary "Sage’s Stone", and to be a sage Stone, smelting metal is an essential step.

Mercury, lead, tin, iron, zinc, copper...It can be said that as long as the metals that appeared in this era, David Adion has "played".

So after learning about the difficulties encountered by Stone Bear, David Adion took the initiative to stand up and said that he could solve the problem. As long as the relevant mineral deposits can be found, then he can be sure to extract metals such as lead and tin.

Mineral deposits rich in lead and tin are naturally lead-zinc mines. There is still no shortage of lead-zinc mines in the Appalachian Mountains, so Stone Bear quickly arranged a few soldiers to accompany David Adion out to inquire about and search for lead-zinc mines.

The Cherokee people have lived in this mountain range for more than two hundred years. They may not know what lead-zinc mines do, but they must have seen similar ores~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Just ask, maybe You can find a lead-zinc mine.

Although Shi Xiong wanted to take care of these things, he knew he couldn't take care of them at all. It is true that I am proficient in arts and sciences, but I am not an all-rounder who knows everything. Shixiong is a pure layman for prospecting for minerals and refining metals such as lead and tin. So he can only delegate these tasks to others.

It took so much effort, extortion and exchange, to get four alchemists. Now, don't these professional things have to be entrusted to them, alchemists? They did this in the first place.

Professional things are left to professional people to do, that's it!

Of course, Shixiong also has to do something professional, that is, making wine.

The koji in the koji room is very well fermented. Except for a few pieces that have been fermented, the other koji are very good.

The distiller’s yeast was successfully produced, and the quality was still very good, which laid the most solid foundation for winemaking.

Koji is the key to wine making. As long as the koji is done, wine making becomes a very simple matter.
