Social development and technological progress are a gradual process, and only when it reaches its peak can it be achieved. Just like guns, from a combroach to a flintlock rifle, rifle and machine gun, no matter how powerful a person comes, he cannot cross several levels and directly advance from a combroach to a machine gun.

Improved guns are not just a few drawings and a few inspirations, but a perfect industrial system.

The heavy machine gun that Cao Ang was still unforgettable was not because he was not capable, but because the industrial foundation of the Wei Dynasty was too poor and he did not have the ability to produce.

Gongshu said with confidence: "The gun is different from cannons. The barrel is too thin, and it is easy to form high temperatures when the bullet is out of the bore. The machine gun fires so fast. If the barrel is tough, it is easy to melt by high temperature. Shenbingcheng has made several machine guns. A shuttle bullet will become soft noodles before the barrel is shot. Therefore, if you want to mass-produce machine guns, the first thing you need to solve is the steel problem. You must produce steel with sufficient firmness and flexibility. It is not enough to have steel alone. You have to think about compressing costs and improving efficiency, otherwise one or two guns will not change anything."

The sign of successful product research and development is not R&D itself, but to achieve mass production. The biggest problem of mass production is to improve efficiency and reduce costs. If you can’t produce a few pieces a year, and if each piece is still expensive, there is no need to produce them. No matter how big the home business is, it cannot withstand such a manufacturing.

Cao Ang said angrily: "Since you know the problem, you don't think of a solution, take your subordinates to play cards and sleep peacefully."

Gongshu Gong shouted and bent, wailing: "Your Majesty, you have to be reasonable. When we are so busy that we don't touch the ground, you will appear as soon as you are free, and we are also wronged. Besides, the development and improvement of steel is Gongshu Gongshu Gongshu's job. If he doesn't get results, it's useless for me to scratch my head."

Some things are indeed evil. When you are busy, the leader is blind and cannot see it. When you are free, the leader appears on time as if he is a bit off. When you are waiting for the bus, you will not see the bus. When you just lit a cigarette bus, you will arrive at the station.

Cao Ang also worked as a hard worker, understood his feelings, touched his nose and said with a smirk: "Let's go, try your gun."

His Majesty has changed the subject and Gongshu Gong naturally cannot come on the rush to find trouble again. He hurriedly took them out of the laboratory and rushed to the experimental field behind.

The experimental field for mountain brigade gun training was still there, and a small room was built next to it. When you go in, you see that it is full of firearms and flintlocks. Needless to say, there are even heavy machine guns from World War II.

Heavy machine guns are battlefield meat grinders. Swinging to the battlefield can make the enemy feel truly what it means to queuing up and shooting.

Cao Ang reached out and touched the cold barrel and said, "Try this and see how powerful it is."

Gongshu Gong shook his head and said, "I can't try it. This is just a decoration. The barrel and the steel required for the bullet have not met the standards and cannot be opened."

Those who work in technology don’t care about the so-called emotional intelligence. They say whatever they want straightforwardly and rarely consider the feelings of the listeners. Cao Ang said angrily: “Who can do it?”

Gongshu Gong took off a gun with a shape similar to a later Czech light machine gun from the gun stand and said: "The only one that can be barely used at present is that other machine guns have more or less defects and are easy to explode."

Cao Ang nodded and said, "Take it out and try it."

Everyone came to the experimental field, Gongshu Gong handed the gun to Luo Hao and smiled and said, "Captain Luo, be careful."

Luo Hao and Gongshu Gong always mingled with each other and were familiar with all kinds of guns. He held the gun and pulled the trigger decisively at the target. The sound of bean-like bursting sounds continued, which shocked everyone hurriedly covered their ears.

After a few seconds, the gunshot stopped, and Luo Hao came to Cao Ang and said, "Your Majesty, this magazine of Gongshu No. 3 can hold twenty bullets, but it can only fire ten rounds. If there are more barrels, you can't bear it."

Gongshu No. 3?

Damn Gongshu Gong is not active in his work, so he is quite quick to grab patents.

Cao Ang was lazy in such a small matter. He reached out and touched the barrel. He immediately retracted his fingers and looked down at the point where he looked a bit more scalded on his hand, and his skin almost burned. Then he saw that the barrel was bent.

Bent?

He didn't use much force.

Gongshu Gong explained: "This is the problem we are facing at present. The bullets are too fast to get out of the borehole. The high temperature of the borehole instantly can easily melt the barrel. It's okay in winter, but only eight shots are shot in summer. The ninth shot will definitely hurt yourself."

Cao Ang smiled bitterly and said, "Take it slow. Research is a chore that is hard to spend money but can't see hope. What kind of achievements you achieve often depends on luck."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Gongshu Gong flattered and was about to continue, Zhao Yun ran to the front with the target in his arms and said, "Your Majesty, please see, the target has been penetrated. This gun is even more powerful than a rifle. What's more important is that the fire speed is too fast. I am still sure to avoid it when facing the rifle, but I will definitely not be able to avoid it when I encounter this gun."

The emergence of guns and cannons made personal force less valuable, and Zhao Yun, the number one master after Lu Bu, became less and less accomplished.

Cao Ang smiled bitterly and said, "What's the use? The barrel of ten bullets turns into soft noodles. What's the difference between carrying this thing to the battlefield and dying."

After solving the technical problems, it is stuck in the quality of the steel. It is depressing to think about it. It seems that the heavy machine gun he is thinking about will be waiting for his lifetime.

Gongshu Gong comforted: "Your Majesty, don't worry, R&D will always be the difference between zero and countless. If all technical problems are solved, will the steel problem be far away?"

Cao Ang smiled bitterly and said, "I'll give you a good word. The meal time is coming soon. It's time for the holidays today and tomorrow. Our monarchs and ministers have a good meal."

Gongshu Gong was overjoyed and said with a fist: "I will make arrangements now."

The R&D personnel are also very hard-working. They eat, drink, defecate and urinate in Shenbing City. They have not lived in family for several years. The court naturally has to give them some compensation after sacrificing their family. The salary and living conditions are much better than ordinary soldiers. The R&D personnel are all single rooms, with complete supplies in the city, and they have all kinds of fruits, vegetables, fish, meat and wine. Gongshu Gong greeted him and the kitchen was ready soon. Everyone brought tables and chairs to eat in the open space of the experimental site.

Everything was ready for the wine and food. Cao Ang held the wine glass and stood up and smiled, "You all have been in this place where birds do not shit for several years. You can't even see your wife and children. I thank you all here."

The soldiers and R&D personnel collectively felt a little sad and subconsciously picked up the wine glass.

The men of the Great Wei Dynasty were not afraid of hard work or sacrifice, but they were afraid of not being recognized. The words of Cao Ang’s recognition made them feel that years of persistence were meaningful.

Everyone clinked glasses and drank them all, Cao Ang continued, "Please hold on for another two or three years. Once the pseudo-Han and unify the world, there is no need to hide the Divine Soldier City. Then everyone can go off weekends, go to and get off work on time, and live a normal life. Those who have not got married will go back to the Commander Luo to register. I will personally serve as a matchmaker for you. If you become a kiss, you will not do such unethical things."

When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter, and the atmosphere of the banquet was very harmonious.

After three rounds of drinking, Cao Zhang came to Zhao Yun and whispered: "Brother Zilong, the gun just now is really powerful. How about you tell me that I will bring a group of people to the country to fight wild game?"

Zhao Yun looked at him sideways and joked, "Aren't you not going?"
