Chapter 1268 (1/2)
”Come on.”
Camille handed Gabriel and El cowhide water bags filled with cold water.
”It's hard for you. Drink a little.”
”Oh, oh! I'm thirsty! ” Gabriel shouted, taking Camille's wine and pouring it into his mouth.
When he was full, he threw the water bag into El's arms.
Just as El imitated Gabriel's appearance and poured ”thump thump” into his mouth, Camille suddenly asked him:
”El, Gabriel. How's the recent research and development of that gun? ”
Gabriel always goes to El's gun department to help, so he should also have a certain understanding of the R & D process of guns.
Camille, who was not interested in guns and couldn't help because of his short stature, didn't go to the gun department to help.
In order to pass the boring bus time now, and also to care about the two companions like her brothers, Camille threw out this topic that should be able to talk to them for a while.
”The research and development of muskets...” Gabriel scratched his hair in confusion. ”I'm at the muskets department. I'm basically doing some heavy physical work, so I can't tell what the research and development of muskets has reached. You have to ask el. ”
Then Gabriel turned his head and looked at El beside him.
”El, how's the development of our musket now?”
At this time, El just finished drinking water.
While wiping the residual water stains at the corners of his mouth, he thought about the appropriate wording.
”The development progress of muskets...”
Whispers fell and a faint smile appeared on El's face with the slightly raised corners of his mouth.
”Our craftsmen have developed new fire guns through flint. We named this new type of musket - Flint gun. ”
”Flint?” Camille frowned. ”Flint gun?”
”The flint gun made of flint - this is the invention of Oleg, the chief craftsman of our musket department.”
”Three years ago, when I was still participating in the 'Hammer' battle in the southwest battlefield, the chief craftsman of our musketry department got the inspiration by chance and decided to use flint to make a new musketry.”
”It took a full three years, and now we finally turned the idea into reality, successfully built three new guns and completed the shooting test.”
Then El breathed a sigh of relief.
”Your R & D speed is so fast...” Kamil frowned. ”It's only about four years since we bought the musket.”
”In just four years, we have explored the use principle of the fire gun, successfully innovated on this basis, and developed a new fire gun... Is this R & D speed too exaggerated? Is the firearm a weapon with such a simple principle of making and using? ”
”Well...” El scratched his hair. ”The principle of making and using the gun is not simple.”
”I also talked to Oleg about this problem - why our fire gun research and development speed is so fast.”
”Oleg said: that's because our production technology is already very high.”
El looked at Camille.
Camille still looked at him with a puzzled face.
Not only Camille, but Gabriel, sitting beside him and almost ignorant of the current development process of muskets, was looking at him with a puzzled face.
In order to make them understand what he was saying, El decided to give a more vivid example.
”Well... Let me give you a simple example.”
”Suppose the skill level of Chinese craftsmen is 100 points.”
”The musket is actually just a weapon that can be easily made at a skill level of 60 points.”
”It was only because of bad luck that we didn't let the gun be born.”
”It's not because we don't have enough ability.”
”The skill level of our craftsmen is completely enough to make muskets, but they are unlucky and can't meet the opportunity to make muskets.”
”Then I understand what you mean.” Camille took out his ears. ”So - what flint gun you developed has any performance improvement compared with the 100 original muskets you bought at the beginning?”
