26 M9 born early
If the average person says this, the focus of his tone is Thomas Edison.
But Han Huaiyi knew very well that Tesla’s excitement lies in the word “thank you”.
Although Tesla hates Edison, this simple-minded person now feels that he has taken revenge. Out of confidence in his talent, Tesla has never taken that guy seriously.
Han Huaiyi asked him what weapon he was and why he wanted to thank Edison.
"Markhin." Trass said a word.
Then he said: "In the early years, Thomas Edison's thorn in his eyes was called Hellum Maxim Maxim Maxim was pretty good. He invented a lot of electrical appliances, and Thomas excluded him and used very bad means in a municipal bidding, which caused Maxim's company to go bankrupt in trouble."
After hearing this, Han Huaiyi couldn't help but ask: "Are you talking about the inventor of the Maxim machine gun?"
Tesla immediately widened his eyes: "Why do you know everything?"
During this year, only a few people knew about the Maxim machine gun that shone in the First World War. It was not until the Germans equipped it to kill 60,000 British troops a day in the Battle of the Somme that it became a household name.
So Tesla is very surprised that Han Huaiyi is omniscient.
Han Huaiyi said: "I probably heard of it."
Tesla understood as soon as he thought about it: "You must have heard of it from the Qing court."
"...It seems." Han Huaiyi blinked, otherwise what would he say.
Tesla really doesn't say nonsense.
Because the Qing government was indeed one of the first countries to imitate and manufacture Maxim machine guns.
However, the Jinling Manufacturing Bureau equipped it with black powder-powered bullets, so the practical effect was not good, so the Qing court loved anyone.
A strong country in science and technology is really not a mess. The gap between the Qing court's scientific and technological level and the great powers at that time was not big, but...
Tesla was too lazy to care about where Han Huaiyi learned about this situation, because the point he wanted to express was that Maxim went to Europe after being excluded by Edison and then developed the weapon.
However, he used his spare time to directly study a light T-machine gun based on the concept of the Maxim machine gun.
In fact, he has brought out more than that.
Tras and Han Huaiyi said: "This thing is not complicated, so I simply got a systematic gunman out."
"Gun Family?"
"Yes, from pistols to rifles, to warships, near defense, armored vehicles, and aircraft. There are all levels of them."
"You go back and show it to me, but I'll take the time to get two planes for me in the past two days. I'm in a hurry."
"Okay Charlie. Is the kind with suspension system and machine gun? Then I have to see how the materials are prepared." Trass said it and then did it. After losing his luggage, he went to the base workshop next to him.
After entering, he saw the rich atmosphere of heavy industry in the large warehouse with bright windows and clean windows. This guy was fascinated by it.
The magician stood there greedily sucking the aroma of motor oil in the air, and then lay on the wooden box of the finished material and snatched it.
Half a day later, he asked someone to drag out two boxes of gun barrels and check them, and said, "It's useful to make a living."
At this time, Henry Ford's men brought a lot of things.
It also includes standardized fuselage frames, aluminum plates, wing ailerons and other products that were booked after private communication between Trass and Henry Ford.
It even includes 10 modified 50-horsepower engines, landing gear tires, etc.
At that time, the automobile industry was a relatively cutting-edge manufacturing leader, but at this time, the aircraft were not as high-tech as later generations.
So, as long as these things have detailed data, they are not a problem for Ford.
Tras smiled and said, "Charlie, it's about five days. These are ready-made. I can get you two planes in five days. I can give you some surprises in a while."
"What do you want to do?"
But this guy didn't say that he was beaten to death, Han Huaiyi had to ignore him and explain to Henry Ford, who had been laughing at him, "I've had some trouble recently, so I urgently need two planes, and they can be used to fight."
"Have you encountered something?" Henry asked him, and Han Huaiyi said about Pinkerton's private police.
Tesla next to him suddenly came to his senses: "I understand Charlie, I will give you two or more babies, and let those guys get rid of their sluts, so that Mr. James can also see the power of T-gulf products!"
Han Huaiyi laughed and said, "That's what I mean." He does mean to train with Pinkerton's private police.
So they immediately started working after dinner, and Ford sent a telegram to Detroit, urging his subordinates to step up the transportation of manufacturing equipment here.
Because in the planning and design of T Valley, it does not exist only as a theoretical research and development center and a handmade fine workshop, but it must be able to manufacture entities in a small batch at the same time.
So in order to support this place, Ford even made a big deal to dismantle a car production line.
Once his production line arrives and is renovated and the supplies can also follow, T Valley can produce twin-propeller fighters at a rate of one per day!
That night, workers who arrived at the New York base with Tesla began to skillfully install the aircraft frame.
Tesla began to use lathes to hand-made machine guns he improved.
They were busy, while outside workers were working in three shifts to pave and clean up the places.
The brightly lit T-gu, with Tesla's arrival, suddenly became alive.
At this moment, Han Huaiyi became idle.
He lay on the sofa in his temporary residence and looked through the structure of the gun drawn by Tesla.
If he had the most say in what Trass had brought out, it was these gun designs.
Because the weapons he has used are far more than the current equipment.
What surprised Han Huaiyi was that Tesla was not a loss to be a genius who could come up with some exquisite ideas by just making a random effort.
For example, the semi-automatic pistol he conceived is very close to the m9 in later generations.
Tesla should refer to pictures made by guys commonly used by New Yorkers.
He used the barrest seat operation principle and locking method for this pistol, which is a clamped iron sinking type and a single-action trigger design.
This pistol with a thumb-operated magazine is still a bottomless pistol bullet designed by Browning in 0.45ac)
The entire gun is 217mm long and is supplied with 10 rounds of detachable magazines.
However, Tesla is not "professional" after all, so he is a little vague about the details of the materials used.
For example, he still used steel as a manufacturing material in non-critical parts.
After Han Huaiyi finished reading it, he simply picked up the pen and modified it on it.
In Han Huaiyi's improvement, he changed the grip to an aluminum alloy and a wooden handle, and increased the trigger guard ring, and also added a single magazine and an extended magazine mode.
So before the Colt M1911-type point 45-caliber Browning semi-automatic pistol was released, New Rome brought out a Browning M9 that became the standard equipment for officers during the Gulf War.
Of course, its name is now ptr-m1.
