Chapter 876 (1/2)
In the face of the ”Aurora” offensive of the britannian Empire, the holy Helan Empire did not sit idly by.
After learning that chuboer fortress fell and the garrison of the fortress was completely destroyed, the Central Committee of the Holy Hiran empire was even shocked and sad.
The center of the holy Helan empire is seizing the time to convene rescue forces these days to rescue the deteriorating southwest battlefield
……
……
Holy Hiram Empire, the imperial capital, alenmuya, suburb, Poji town.
These days, El has been staying in the town of Poji on the outskirts of the capital, alenmuya.
El has been staying in Boji town on the outskirts of DIDU these days, not because there are any places of interest in Boji town that attract him.
The reason why he stayed in Boji town these days was to focus on the development of muskets.
In the spring of 213 (291) of the holy Helan imperial calendar (291 of the britannian imperial calendar), El bought 100 Qingguo muskets produced in the east from ulham, a big businessman from the grassland.
El saw the potential of muskets, so he tried his best to persuade his teacher, Dominic, to buy the 100 muskets.
After buying the 100 muskets, El asked Dominic to help him win the opportunity to meet with emperor wahiri and give him the opportunity to sell these muskets to Emperor wahiri.
El waited for this opportunity to meet for more than half a year.
It was not until the winter of 213 (291) of the Holy Hiran imperial calendar (291 of the britannian imperial calendar) that the opportunity to meet emperor wahili finally came.
Elgewai cherishes this missed opportunity and may not have another chance to meet.
After meeting the emperor wahiri, El tried his best to persuade wahiri to allocate funds and set up a special department to develop muskets.
But no matter how El advised, wahiri was not interested in the musket.
Finally, in Dominic's face, wahiri finally reluctantly agreed to develop the musket.
The reason why wahiri reluctantly agreed to develop muskets is that the R & D funds he is willing to allocate are too poor
A ”gun Department” dedicated to the development of guns was established, and El was appointed the first minister, with a monthly R & D fund of 100000 NARS.
100000 narrs
This money is too little for the development of high-tech weapons such as muskets.
But El was not qualified to bargain with wahiri, so he had to bear it
Not long after wahiri agreed to establish a fire gun department to develop the fire gun, the ”hammer” battle was launched, El was mobilized to the battlefield, and the research and development of the fire gun was put on hold just at the beginning
Until now, El finally had the spare strength to develop the musket under the title of ”Minister of musket Department”.
Because the R & D funds are too small, in order to save money as much as possible, El set the R & D site of the musket department in bochi town on the outskirts of the imperial capital alenmuya.
Boqi town is located on the outskirts of the imperial capital ailenmuya. If you rent a place to develop muskets here, the rent will be much cheaper.
Once the place is settled, we should start to summon craftsmen.
El never knew much about these instruments. If he wanted to develop muskets, he had to call a group of skilled and experienced craftsmen to develop them.
Because the R & D funds were very small, El finally summoned only three craftsmen who were very interested in the gun
Rent a small place, call three craftsmen, and spend a lot of money
With one el and three craftsmen, although it was difficult to start, the fire gun department can finally start operation now.
El's first task to the three craftsmen was to study the principle of the gun.
If you don't even know the principle, don't think about improvement - El still knows this truth.
Half of the 100 muskets were left in the imperial capital's home, and the other half was put here in Boqi town for craftsmen to study.
In order to study the musket, the three craftsmen adopted the stupidest and simplest method - breaking the musket into parts and studying it bit by bit.
This research method consumes a lot of guns, but in a month, 12 guns were completely scrapped.
