Wild North America 1846

"Your Majesty is very concerned about this project. I hope that all colleagues in the company's R&D department will work hard and not be afraid of difficulties to complete the late-stage weapon test project with high quality. At that time, I will ask for your credit." Earl Colt made a generous promise

.

He looked around at everyone with satisfaction and said with confidence;

“Everyone, the new smokeless gunpowder project that our company has been developing for many years has made great progress, and the results are just around the corner.

Here, I would like to particularly commend our outstanding researcher Mr. Alfred Bernhard Nobel for his outstanding contributions in the field of nitroglycerin explosive research.

Therefore, I decided to appoint Mr. Nobel as deputy chief engineer to be in charge of the explosives laboratory to further optimize the research and development of new gunpowder and stabilize its performance.

company decision;

We will invest in a new large-scale explosives factory that represents the international advanced level, and establish Colt Chemical Industrial Products Company and Colt Specialty Steel Company to get involved in more fields and expand our business to the world.

Guys, we are fortunate to live in a new era full of hope, in the open and prosperous Tang Kingdom, with unlimited possibilities for the future.

I hope you will join me in creating a better future with both hands, and let us raise a glass together to thank His Majesty for his kindness and generous gifts."

"Thank you for your kindness... cheers!"

The mood was so intense that all the senior executives present raised their glasses and drank in one gulp.

The 23-year-old Nobel researcher standing in the back had a red face and was slightly tipsy after drinking a few glasses of red wine. Passion surged in his chest, and he felt that all the countless days and nights of hard work had been worth it.

He came to the United States when he was 17 years old. At the age of 18, he was attracted by the high-paying R&D personnel hired by Colt Arms Company, and came to the Explosives Laboratory to work as an assistant researcher, studying and developing at the same time.

For more than five years, countless days and nights were spent in the research laboratory. With the support of abundant R&D funds, the nitroglycerin R&D project initiated by Nobel stood out among many topics and received key support.

to this day

The nitroglycerin project has made significant progress in research and development. It has surpassed black powder in terms of explosive power. The next step is to solve the stability and storage problems. This has a good idea. The next step needs to be verified through a large number of tests.

.

"Mr. Nobel, you have done a great job. I am very optimistic about your genius invention ability. As a key experimental project of the company, once the nitroglycerin explosive is successfully developed, the company will consider rewarding some shares of Colt Chemical Industrial Products Company and declare

Royal Science and Technology Invention Award." Earl Colt patted Nobel's shoulder and looked at him kindly, as if looking at a big shining treasure.

Earl Colt is now the world's top authority in the field of armaments. His brilliant achievements have been verified through several wars won by the Tang Dynasty and the Crimean War. He is respected by the world and was personally awarded the St. Michael's Medal by Queen Victoria at Buckingham Palace.

He was awarded the Order of St. George in recognition of his outstanding contributions.

Even a proud British guy has to address him as "your noble lord" in front of Earl Colt.

The self-made Earl Colt, with his genius inventions and creations, monopolized half of the world in the field of weapons and equipment, leaving the remaining half to engineers from Britain, France, the United States, Prussia, Austria-Hungary and other countries around the world.

All these

All of these have given Count Colt a sacred aura that makes people look up to him, which is enough for young scholars like Nobel who are interested in the scientific and technological field to worship him and be willing to follow his example and participate in this grand event.

It is precisely because of this

Colt Arms Company's many laboratories have gathered a large number of outstanding scientific and technological talents from Europe and the United States. The stars are shining, and Nobel is one of them.

Facing the kind smile of Earl Colt, Nobel looked a little panicked. He squeezed his clothes tightly and said: "Your Excellency, Lord Colt, I am very grateful for your consideration. I live happily here."

, Changan has the most enlightened and friendly scientific and technological environment in the world. With sufficient funds and social support, I am very satisfied to be able to devote myself to scientific and technological research and development without interference."

"As long as you like it, oh... By the way, how was your last contact with Sally?"

"I... Sally is very charming, but... maybe I can't speak, and she doesn't seem to like me."

"Hehehe... It doesn't matter. A girl needs to be coaxed. You can often take her out to see operas, have a meal, go shopping, etc. Once we get to know each other, it will be fine."

"I will try my best, your noble Lord." Nobel's expression was still cautious.

He is a standard engineering man. When he is engaged in research and development, he is crazy about sleeping and forgetting to eat and sleep. He can not leave the laboratory for a year and a half, and he has food and accommodation there. He has very low requirements for personal life.

This kind of character of his led to the fact that in the original history, he never got married and ended up alone.

Lisa is the eldest daughter of Earl Colt. She is a beautiful and lively girl. Of course she will not like the stuffy Nobel, who is neither interesting nor lovable.

Count Colt was helpless about this. He could see that the young Nobel in front of him was an inventive genius. After joining the company, he had already made more than a dozen inventions, and nitroglycerin was just one of them. His future prospects were extremely bright.

It can be said that Nobel's genius is most like himself.

It's a pity that my precious daughter just didn't like it, and instead got together with a young Chinese officer. Count Colt couldn't stop him, and he was a little depressed thinking about it.

A scientific and technological genius like Nobel shines brightly and cannot be concealed. The University of California has appointed him as an associate professor in the Department of Chemistry, making him an outstanding young talent emerging in the scientific and technological world.

Since his precious daughter Sally and Noble could not get together and only liked handsome Chinese officers, Count Colt could only use the equity of the newly established company to attract geniuses, just like His Majesty used to attract him.

His Majesty the King has said it countless times;

Scientific and technological inventions are the primary productive force, and only the most creative companies can enjoy the largest share of the market cake.

Colt Arms Company's development experience over more than 10 years has verified His Majesty's famous saying.

Paying attention to research and development and scientific and technological talents has become the consensus of many business owners, including Earl Colt, who have invested heavily in supporting scientific research and development.

Under a good social atmosphere, two innovative cities, mainly Chang'an and Los Angeles, have formed. They have made great progress in the fields of petrochemical industry, steel smelting, weapons design and manufacturing, ship power, machinery and food, and some of them have reached the world level.

Top level of technology.

Enterprises in the Tang Dynasty valued technological innovation more than any other country and were willing to pay interests, including shares, for it. It was not that the capitalists in the Tang Dynasty were more talkative, but that they had tasted the sweetness of technological progress.

Colt Arms Company is the most striking example. Weapons engraved with the Colt Arms Company emblem are always 20% to 30% more expensive than similar weapons, and are more popular and easier to sell.

This is the power of the brand. The firearms produced by Colt Arms Company are popular brand-name products in the international market. Whether in the European or American markets, having a Colt shield badge and year number is definitely a very popular weapon.

Gotta take action.

In a remote town in Texas, USA, cowboys are the most handsome boys on the street armed with a Colt 1848 repeating gun.

The American imitations may be of similar quality and more than half the price, but the brand badge will always be worn off. Who doesn’t have a little vanity?

If you really want to talk about it, Colt Arms Company is very good at making money. Take the Colt 1848 lever repeating gun as an example;

In addition to the military long-barreled and cavalry short-barreled versions, a special version has also been developed specifically for use by the Royal Guards. Each cavalry regiment has its own badge, logo and number.

Every retired officer and soldier who has served in the Royal Guards will spend some money to take away the rifle that has accompanied him through life and death when he leaves the army. This is also a practice approved by the military.

Of course, it's all voluntary.

Other armies of the Tang Kingdom also have their own glory, such as the "Dahe Division" and "Red Rock Valley Division". The Crimea special edition rifles produced by Colt Arms Company for the European Expeditionary Force all bear distinctive logos.

Therefore, these rifles are cherished by officers and soldiers. When they retire, they will not hesitate to open their wallets and take the weapons home. As a result, Colt Arms Company can receive a stable number of orders every year.

In addition, Colt Arms Company has also produced the 5th Anniversary Edition of the Founding of the People's Republic of China, the 10th Anniversary of the Founding of the People's Republic of China Collector's Edition, the Missouri River Commemorative Edition, the Indian Chief Edition, the Conquest Edition (Mexico), the Apache Edition, the Extended Tube Hunting Edition, the Navigation Edition, and the Ottoman Edition.

Customized version, British version, French version, etc., there are as many as 10 kinds.

For example, the Colt 1848 lever repeating gun Indian Chief Edition has a butt made of black oak. There is a bronze Indian chief head on the butt, which is engraved with various ancient totems belonging to the Indian tribes. It is very valuable for collection.

.

An ordinary civilian version of the rifle sells for 56 yuan. This Indian Chief commemorative version is limited to 999 guns. Each gun has a unique number. Colt Arms Company dares to sell it for a high price of 168 yuan, and it is very

It's so popular that it sold out as soon as it was launched.

Through the operation of Colt Arms Company, a trend of collecting commemorative firearms has gradually formed in society. As a result, the value of many used rifles has doubled, or even increased more than ten times.

A Colt 1848 repeating gun that accompanied the European Expeditionary Force in the Crimean War throughout the whole process. It originally belonged to a soldier of a company of the Third Regiment of the First Division of the Expeditionary Force. There are 37 stars engraved on the butt of the gun, which means that this gun

The gun has killed 37 enemies and has a retirement stamp stamped by the army (note: standard weapons that are distributed among the people must be stamped with a retirement stamp to distinguish them from active equipment).

Such a gun found its way onto the collector market, witnessing the cruelty and glory of the Crimean War. The price was raised to 620 yuan, more than ten times its original value, and was finally collected by a delighted manor owner.

Thus

For retired soldiers to take home the rifles they once used, it is not only of great commemorative significance, but also very valuable. This has prompted more retired officers and soldiers to be willing to dig into their pockets and take home the rifles that have accompanied them during their service lives.

Colt Arms Company is happy, steadily supplying tens of thousands more rifles and cavalry-style revolvers to the military every year, putting a lot of money in their pockets, and is a real big winner.
