The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

South Korea, Xinzheng, the station of the First Artillery Regiment of the South Korean Army. The First Artillery Regiment is the trump card of the new South Korean Army. They are always equipped with new artillery.

"Bang." There was a clear artillery firing sound.

"Ding." There was a clear metal crash.

"Bang" was another clear artillery sound.

"Is this the rapid-fire gun we imported from Qin?" Han Shu asked the Secretary of the Army.

"Yes, Majesty, this kind of artillery is more expensive. They use a fixed mechanical brake, which can quickly fire in the original area. The artillery has a caliber of only two and a half inches, but it can fire a variety of shells. , Including the armor-piercing shells currently in use. This shell can easily penetrate those iron armors. If the navy is equipped with such artillery, they can easily deal with the iron tortoise ships of Qi.” The Secretary of War explained to the side. .

This rapid-fire artillery is a breech-loaded artillery that uses fixed-loaded shells. He and the Qin Army Cavalry Brigade used the same artillery shells. They were produced by the Wenyang Second Artillery Factory, which was the original northern arsenal. However, the artillery used by the Qin Army Cavalry Brigade used hydraulic brakes. This artillery imported by South Korea can be fixed on trains and warships, using relatively heavy mechanical brakes. They counteract the recoil of the artillery through a series of mechanical actions, thereby improving the combat capability of the artillery.

"Well. Very good, but we have to increase our research efforts. If we don't let it, we will not be able to equip such weapons on a large scale. As for the gun barrel, you will find a way to solve this problem as soon as possible." Han Shu Speaking of.

"Go, let's see the effect of the shells penetrating those armors." Han Shu said immediately. Han Shu is very concerned about the threat posed by the iron-clad ships to the Korean warships. In order to deal with such threats, the South Korean side has thought of many ways. For example, the fire attack, which is the same as the Chu people, but they believe that the effect of the fire attack is not It is not very high, because it requires warships to be close to each other to engage in battle. This is very dangerous, especially when the opponent is equipped with a large number of small and medium warships, the speed advantage of this kind of boat will rapidly decrease. So they began to look for another solution, and this solution was that they made a fuss on the cannonball.

South Korea was the first to use cone-shaped shells and tried to solve the problem in the materials of the shells. The first thing they thought of was the use of steel cone-shaped shells. This kind of shells can penetrate iron armor at a distance of 300 steps. However, this distance is completely There is no advantage. After using the new type of gunpowder, this situation has changed a lot. They can penetrate the opponent's armor at a distance of six hundred steps, but the advantage is still not obvious. The most important thing is that the new type of gunpowder burns. The speed is very fast, and the South Korean navy still uses the front chamber artillery, which has a lot of air tightness, and the gunpowder produced by the smokeless gunpowder is largely weakened. In desperation, the South Korean government can only import such new artillery for research and imitation. They tried to find another solution.

"Sir, this kind of artillery can easily penetrate these armors at a distance of one thousand two hundred steps away." An artillery major reported.

"What's the farther distance?" Han Shu asked.

"Back to the king," the artillery major reported.

"The farthest distance is as high as 1,800 steps. However, it is necessary to replace the shells and use tungsten steel shells to achieve this effect." The artillery major replied.

"Tungsten steel shells?" Han Shu looked at the Secretary of the Army curiously.

"My lord, this kind of shell is very hard. They can easily penetrate the iron armor, but the price is relatively expensive. I heard that it was made by the people of Qin. They also have another tungsten core shell, which is more difficult to process. , We didn't." said the artillery major.

"Yeah." Han Shu nodded. Han Shu touched the pieces of iron armor with his hands. The traces of the cannonball penetration were clearly visible, and it looked as easy as a cannonball tearing a wooden board.

"These artillery shells are so powerful, we can use such artillery shells. However, in terms of artillery, we are still unable to further popularize such rapid-fire artillery. We can cooperate with Qin to complete such artillery biographies as soon as possible." Han Shu said .

"Yes. Lord." The Secretary of the Army nodded and said. The Secretary of the Navy was extremely excited, because they finally found a weapon that could solve all their problems, shells, and those tungsten steel shells could solve these problems. This makes them feel very excited.

After the Secretary of the Navy decides to go down, they must produce such a shell on a large scale. In this way, the advantage of the South Korean Navy is still obvious.

On the Laizhou Highway from Zhao State to Qi State, the endless stream of horse-drawn carriages kept moving in the direction of Laizhou. Most of their horse-drawn carriages came from South Korea, Jiaozhou, and Qingcheng. Although they were all second-hand goods, they still could not affect them. usage of.

The Qin people controlled the north, and a large number of nomadic horses appeared in the north, and these carriages were their main source of life.

With the growth of trade, they transported Qi’s special products, such as sea salt, bitumen, kerosene, etc., to Zhao, Wei, South Korea and other countries, and then when they came back, they brought all kinds of products produced by Wei, South Korea, and Zhao. The goods are shipped out. Then it was exported through Laizhou Port, where a large number of merchant ships were manufactured, and many banks provided financial support. Qi's maritime industry developed rapidly.

"The goods we are transporting are a bit special, so be careful." An old coachman stepped into the carriage, and he just covered the goods with tarps.

"Why are we transporting artillery? These Zhao people." A young man said dissatisfiedly. He felt sorry for their horses, because the artillery was extremely heavy and it was very inconvenient to transport the artillery.

"Nonsense, give too much, if you don't give too much, who would do such a thing." said the old coachman.

"But the horses can't stand it either. These horses will retreat in a year or two." The young man said distressedly. He likes horses, so he came to drive the car.

"Carry the carriage, I tell you, boy, the railway will be built next year, and after the railway is completed, our carriage will be withdrawn from this transport. What will you do when it comes?" the old coachman said.

"Build the railway?" the young man asked.

"Yes, I didn’t see the railway. The Koreans are also building railways. How could Qi not have them? Just like these artillery. They were all transported from Zhao to Qi. The people of Qi are in a hurry. If it continues to be transported like this, for sure. Can't meet the demand, so our business will definitely end." said the coachman.

The artillery behind the carriage are all from the Zhao State Army’s inventory and retired artillery. There are more than five hundred artillery pieces. These artillery pieces will be sold at a discount to Qi merchants, who purchase these artillery pieces and transport them to the Western Continent and other places, because there is a great demand for them.

Qi State, Laizhou Port.

"I hope our cooperation will continue." The Secretary of the Army of the State Zhao disposing of a batch of artillery. On the opposite side are some businessmen from a trading company. They are all Qi people. They bought a lot of artillery. At the side, Qi's Navy Secretary nodded with a smile. The Qi State Navy also needed a batch of artillery, these artillery. The main equipment is on their new warship, so that they can complete their **** ship plan as quickly as possible.

"I am looking forward to the next cooperation." The businessmen said very excitedly. The merchants of Qi have already heard a very exciting news. The Parthians will need a lot of artillery, and the Seth people also need it. However, they need more talents in forging artillery, but anyway? A large number of artillery enters these countries, there will be greater demand.

Seth country.

"You still have a ship of goods, why don't you sell it?" Guo Xiang asked a bearded captain. They couldn't cut off their beards because of the long voyage, but it also made them very happy because they I figured out that I would cut off my beard after returning to China, which is of commemorative significance.

"I have inquired. There are many countries to the west of Seth, where the gold coins are too high, and the profits there will be better." Captain Bearded said.

"It's not what I thought, but the businessmen over there, they all chase high profits." said Captain Bearded.

"But in that case, you need to understand the language of the locals." Guo Xiang said.

"Hehe, those businessmen have already found some companions, they plan to go there and see, they said they have arrived at a place called Aiji, I don't know what it is called." said the beard.

"How much love." Guo Xiang said.

"Where is that?" Guo Xiang asked.

"I don’t know. I heard that it’s a desert country. They said it’s in the north, and it’s still a long way from here. It’s almost a thousand miles. It takes several months of camels to get there. I don’t know. However, by sea The ship should be able to get there," said Captain Bearded.

Seth merchants are very savvy. They know the value of these products from Korea. They have never been. These products cannot be replaced. They are absolutely novel products. They decided to sell to the more northern countries, such as Macedonia, Rome, and these countries. All are needed, and there are upper classes of Egyptians who like luxury goods. They are all born merchants, and they are sensitive to the huge market for these commodities. They tried their best to buy these commodities, but in order to seek greater benefits, Korean businessmen decided to go to the north to open up the northern markets. In their opinion, those markets would generate huge profit margins for them.

The northern market is a big temptation for them. Aiji is their next goal.
