Chapter 39： ordnance (1/2)

early in the morning.

The Saint Martin Kingdom Ordnance Factory.

The 　　 factory is located on the outskirts of the western part of St. Martin and is stationed by a company.

Today, an unusual plume of black smoke appeared above the ordnance factory.

Inside the factory.

There are only five people inside at this time.

is headed by Arthur.

There is also the Minister of Military Affairs, Shigekuni Yamamoto, Minister of Industry Giles.

One of the last two is a brawny man in his forties wearing military uniforms, who is the head of the ordnance factory.

There is also an old man with gray hair, glasses, and wrinkled face. He is the dean of the Kingdom Academy of Sciences.

Five people are enthusiastically surrounding a long production line.

”Crack, click!”

On the 　　 production line, various parts are constantly being assembled together, and slowly, the shape of a gun appears.

It is the Mauser rifle production line.

Aside, Daller, Gnar, and Giles were excitedly holding a drawing.

”Perfect, perfect!” Dal said, looking at the drawing in disbelief. The gun in the drawing is exactly the gun he wants!

”The steam can still be used like this?” Gnar said excitedly.

This production line is the production line of Mauser rifles, a complete production line powered by steam.

Originally, Arthur thought that the full production line included bullets and firearms at most. Unexpectedly, not only bullets and firearms, but also a variety of parts, gunpowder production in bullets, etc., are simply a complete set to the extreme.

With this set of production lines, even in primitive times, as long as there are raw materials, Arthur can get you firearms.

So, when this production line came out, Arthur also called Giles and Gnar to study the technology contained in it, even if it was a bit of research, it was a further step for the kingdom's technology.

”Rumble---”

After a while, with the roar of the machine, the first gun appeared.

There are many versions of the 　　 Mauser rifle.

And this production line produces the most famous version, Kar.98k, commonly known as 98k.

The effective range is 800 meters, the initial rate of fire is 755 meters, the magazine capacity is five rounds, the length is one meter, the barrel length is 60 cm, and the rate of fire is about 15 rounds per minute!

Arthur picked up the gun, made a gesture, and loaded the already produced bullets into the gun.

”Go, go to the shooting range and try!” Arthur said cheerfully.

”Your Majesty, please here!” Dalle quickly made a please gesture and took the lead in front.

Yamamoto Shigekuni and Giles, and Gnar hastened to keep up!

The shooting range is next to the factory, it is not big, with a radius of 500 meters.

As soon as he arrived at the shooting range, Arthur frowned.

For nothing else, the shooting range is too small.

The farthest target is only 500 meters. With a range of 98K, this is too close.

”Wait!” Arthur stopped Dalle, ”You go in and set the target, I'll try it here!”

”Yes, Your Majesty!” Although Dalle was a little confused, he nodded.

Although he has seen the drawings of firearms, he does not know the specific power!

Arthur stepped back more than a hundred meters.

When Daller set the target, Arthur raised the gun and closed his eyes.

Aiming.

”boom!”

Bullet shot out.

A hole appeared in the center of the target.

Before anyone else could say anything, Arthur retreated another two hundred meters and reached 800 meters.

Aiming.

”boom!”

again this time, but not in the center, but around the 9th ring.
