The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin
Chapter 2291: Uncertainties
"The Ministry of National Defense requires the production of a small, light artillery, and the speed is very fast. Because of the special needs of the Northern First Army, they are equipped with cavalry units." Meng Yi then said to Shangwen.
"What portable artillery?" Shang Wen asked inexplicably.
"Oh. It's a kind of portable, hand cannon." Meng Yi explained to Shang Wen.
"What kind of artillery is this?" Shang Wen asked inexplicably.
"I haven't seen this. They just think that such artillery is very suitable for cavalry's impact and defensive use. Moreover, the production cost is relatively low, that is, the processing of artillery shells is more expensive, but we can still bear it." Meng Yi said to Shang Wen To.
"In addition, after the emergency improvement, the power is equivalent to the power of two grenades, and the effect is not bad. I think it should be possible to deal with those **** Goguryeo people. It is enough." Meng Yi said with uncertainty.
"What artillery?" Shang Wen asked inexplicably. He suddenly wanted to know what kind of artillery Qin people made that could be used in this way. You must know that the current Qin artillery cannot further reduce the weight of the artillery for the time being. The weight of the artillery is still very heavy. Heavy artillery can only use rails to move. Qin Guo benefited from the development of his own metallurgical technology in the artillery manufacturing process. The people of Qin Kingdom know that all kinds of steel are made to improve the pressure resistance of the metal materials of the artillery. In this case, Qin's artillery can be made even more powerful. The production of artillery mainly comes from the use of rare metals in the northern and western regions. For example, commonly used chromium and nickel. In addition, a large number of rare earth ore is used. This made it possible for Qin's artillery to be reduced in weight.
"Wait, I'll look for it, and they provided me with some drawings." As he said, Meng Yi searched among a large number of documents.
Shang Wen waited curiously.
"That's it." Meng Yi handed Shangwen a document with all the information of the hand cannon on it.
"Mounted infantry hand cannon. Caliber 2.5 to 3 inches, what does this mean?" Shang Wen asked at this time.
"I don't know, maybe it's because 2.5 inches can hit farther, and the three inches is more powerful." Meng Yi explained.
"Well. Two models are great, but I don't think it should be too complicated. Our logistics supply pressure is very heavy. There are several types of rifle bullets. This situation can be seen from the financial statements." Shang Wen said To.
"These are all weapons made by the Army. They always hope that they have a lot of weapons." Meng Yi said.
"This kind of hand cannon is a bullet-throwing barrel." Shang Wen said after reading the design drawings.
"Toss the bullet?" Meng Yi asked.
"Yes, it's similar to the mortar principle, but it's much smaller, and there are many specific details. This weapon is mainly used for infantry. They mainly supplement the vacancy of the infantry firepower within the range of two hundred steps. The firepower is equivalent to a small artillery, and it is easy to operate." Shang Wen said while looking at the design drawings.
"I personally think that this kind of artillery can be manufactured on a large scale, because this kind of artillery does not require rifling. Our bicycle factories all need such pipes. We can manufacture them on a large scale. Other parts, such as springs, firing pins, etc. Everything is easy to find. This kind of weapon looks very cheap, and the manufacturing speed is very fast." Meng Yi said to Shangwen.
"Also, the Li's Armory has already started production in a small scale. It is preliminary estimated that they can produce about one hundred and five per month. If the horsepower is fully used, it is estimated that it will be more." Meng Yi said to Shangwen.
What Meng Yi cares about is not how powerful the hand cannon is. They only care about whether the weapon is easy to produce and what is the cost? The same is true of the Ministry of National Defense's opinion. In their view, such weapons can only be used with such great power.
"Yeah. You are right. What we need at present is such a weapon, which is easy to produce. It can be arranged quickly. We can allocate this money to them and let them produce it." Shang Wen said.
"Well, the Ministry of National Defense estimates that it will need more than 10,000." Meng Yi looked at Shang Wen and said.
"Oh my God. More than 10,000 sticks, too much. Cut by more than half, I think 3,000 sticks are enough." Shang Wen waved his hand and said. In his view, the Ministry of Defense has too many forecasts like this. The opening is more than ten thousand. This requires Shangwen's Ministry of Finance to spend a large amount of military expenditure.
"Yeah. Some are less. I think it is reserved for two thousand. A total of five thousand are produced. If the weapon is good, it can be further sold to other countries. After all, such a weapon is very convenient to use." Meng Yi said to Shang Wen To.
"Yeah. Okay. That's it." Shang Wen nodded and said.
In this way, Qin Guo officially placed an order for the production of hand cannons.
"However, I think this order should be expanded from the beginning, because the Northern First Army needs too many such weapons. Moreover, time is too late, maybe the war has started now. We are producing weapons at this time." Yi said to Shang Wen.
"Can't the frontline wait?" Shang Wen asked.
"Can't wait. The fighter plane is fleeting." Meng Yi replied.
"Well, I only hope that such weapons can be used in the later stages of the war." Shang Wen said helplessly. Such a weapon hopes to Qin Jun. It's not too late to come.
"It's not too late for us to wait until the war starts to provide such weapons." Shang Wen thought for a while and said. The Qin Army’s advantage is not only on the ground, but also in the air. It can provide a large number of replenishment weapons through air replenishment, although the airship seems very inconvenient. But for this era, this is the Hercules transport plane of the Qin Army. Most of the army has not established an effective prevention and control system. In addition, the air combat is not too intense, so it can allow the Qin army to organize airdrops on a large scale. If you wait until the air combat escalates to the point where it is difficult to control, it is very difficult to organize such transportation.
"We can mobilize a large number of air transport airships to participate in operations to make up for the difficulty of our logistics supplies. In addition, we must organize meteorological support." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.
"If necessary, civilian airships can be recruited for use." Shang Wen said.
"Yeah. Okay." Meng Yi nodded.
Meng Yi's telegram was quickly sent to Wang Jian. When Wang Jian saw the telegram, he thought carefully for a long time. He began to hesitate whether to launch such an attack.
"If you have air support, you can. But I'm afraid that this is not supported." Wang Jian hesitated looking at the telegram in his hand.
"Let's take a look and talk about your thoughts." Wang Jian handed the telegram to Bai Qi.
