Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 10 10 Requirements
He also knew that even if he placed an order with Tang Mo now, it would still be too late.Even for Cyric's workshop, it would take a long time to produce thousands of rifles.

Tang Mo didn't want to give up the order he got, so he said to the Earl, "It's not too late, Mr. Earl. Time can always be spared. If you have money, I think I can expand the production scale. Please fulfill your request as soon as possible."

In fact, weapon performance is only one aspect. Tang Mo knows that what really changes the times is the transformation of production methods.Cyric may be able to compete with him in weapon technology, but in terms of production technology, they are not on the same level at all!

The Earl didn't know what Tang Mo was planning in his mind, he just wanted to know that he could get these weapons as soon as possible.

These weapons are very important to him. If he can equip these weapons as soon as possible, he is sure that he can calmly face the coming war.

He needs his troops to be able to enter the battlefield after completing training, so he needs to leave enough time for himself.

Therefore, the production time he can give Tang Mo is actually very limited. According to his thinking, it is only two to three months at most.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help looking at Tang Mo, and asked, "As you said, how fast can it be? We only have less than half a year."

Tang Mo thought about it in his mind. If he went back, together with a few engineers and old Roger, he would manufacture a standard industrial mother machine, and then make a few steam engines according to the blueprint as soon as possible, then the production of weapons would be much easier.

As long as there is continuous power, things like drilling the barrel will become easier. He doesn't want to produce that kind of very precise sniper barrel. The basic requirement for a qualified barrel in this era is that the bullet can fly out. The barrel will do just fine.

Therefore, if there is a steam engine and supporting equipment, then Tang Mo can instantly increase the production capacity to ten times, or even a hundred times.

And the design drawings that restrict him are already in his mind at this moment—compared with those engineers who want to design from scratch, his advantage is too obvious.

These things are the magic weapon for him to expand production, and also the cornucopia for him to make money in the future!As long as the earl is willing to pay for these production equipment, then the follow-up business will really be a good deal comparable to stealing money.

So after calculating the time, he answered the earl and said, "If the earl can meet my request, I may be able to provide you with 500 K1 fast guns within three months at most."

"Are you kidding me?" Hearing such a satisfying answer, the Earl was caught off guard.He looked at Tang Mo in disbelief, fearing that he had heard it wrong.

"I'm not joking." Tang Mo shook his head, and once again gave the Earl an affirmative answer: "Within three months! As long as you give me everything I need."

Unlike other technicians, or what Tang Mo has a greater advantage over other technicians is that he has finished drawings in his mind!
He doesn't need to experiment or take any detours, he just needs to find a way to get all kinds of parts that meet the standards, and then assemble them together.

Others need a lifetime, or even several generations, to accumulate experience, and then a genius idea that bursts out, he only needs to look through the information casually, and even the result is clear.

While others were still thinking about the use of this thing, he even had the technical difficulties of subsequent improved models come to mind.

While those poor engineers were still thinking about what kind of bullets would be the future direction of development, Tang Mo was already thinking about whether to use 95 or M4 for the assault rifle.

This is Tang Mo's advantage. In this field, no one can catch up with his speed, and no one can beat him.

"..." Looking at Tang Mo's eyes full of confidence, Earl Fischero finally decided to give it a try.

After all, the fast gun in his hand is not fake. If Tang Mo succeeds, then his troops will indeed gain a huge advantage on the battlefield.

So Earl Fischero clenched the rifle in his hand, as if he had made up his mind, stared at Tang Mo and asked, "Okay, tell me, what do you need?"

In fact, he did make up his mind - as long as Tang Mo didn't want it too much, he decided to give it a try.If he wins this battle, he may be able to get more elsewhere.

Tang Mo made a rough estimate. He didn't need too many people, but they had to be the best of the elite.

Most of the tools in this era still need to be made by hand, and some parts of Tang Mo must be made by craftsmen comparable to seven-level craftsmen.

If he can barely make the mother engine, he can immediately produce the steam engine and other auxiliary equipment.Once the manufacture of these equipment is on track, the production of guns and ammunition will immediately become easier.

At that time, as long as the machinery and equipment are sufficient, he can produce hundreds of gun barrels in one day, and complete the order of the earl in two days.

So, Tang Mo stretched out a hand and said to the Earl, "I need manpower, very good craftsmen. That kind...that kind of master craftsman who can really be independent. You can find the best from blacksmiths and watchmakers. ... At least ten! Counting apprentices and other workers, at least 70 people."

Hearing Tang Mo's first request, the Earl nodded slightly - the request for manpower is reasonable, after all, these people represent productivity.

He also felt that in order to produce a sufficient number of guns, it was necessary to expand manpower, and he even felt that Tang Mo needed too few people.

Because he heard that in Cyric's gun workshop, there are two to 3000 people who are responsible for the production of guns.On this scale, only three to five hundred rifles can be produced a year.

So, he thought Tang Mo would want 1000 people, but he didn't expect Tang Mo to only want 70!So he breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to ask: "What else?"

As the actual owner of North Ridge, Earl Fischero is still very confident in his abilities. He will definitely be able to find 70 craftsmen, and he can even pick and choose to find a batch of good ones.

Now that the Earl continued to ask, Tang Mo continued to answer: "Raw materials, high-quality raw materials, including steel, including coal, and of course grains, vegetables and meat that can feed the apprentices in the entire workshop during this period of time."

He was there to make money, or at least to keep the whole workshop going.So he had to get supplies to feed his workers.

"What else?" This request was also very reasonable, and the Earl continued to nod his head, which seemed to agree with Tang Mo's request.Immediately afterwards, he continued to speak and asked Tang Mo, "What else do you need?"

"Funds for purchasing other raw materials, a deposit of 2500 gold coins, a guard force of at least 20 people to protect me and my workshop, help us deal with annoying problems, so that we can produce with peace of mind... Of course, it will also save you from worrying about us Run away." Tang Mo pointed to himself.

"Hahaha! I like you kid!" The earl laughed loudly, and patted Tiger on the shoulder beside him, and everyone laughed along with him.

After laughing, the count looked at Tang Mo again, and said with some embarrassment, "I may not be able to get that many gold coins for a while."

"You can use Northridge's ore and coal to settle part of the settlement-the part that settles my actual profit. There is no way for workers' wages, I can only ask for cash, but I can exchange my profits for materials, which is no problem. "Tang Mo didn't force it, but exchanged his profits for supplies.

Anyway, he will continue to expand production, whether it is steel or coal, in fact, he will need a lot of it later.These things are definitely not too much, because they will be consumed again soon.

And such a flexible transaction method also allows Earl Fishero not to worry about having to raise so many gold coins-this is a compromise of two interests, and naturally everyone is happy.

The earl nodded slightly, and he happily agreed to this model: "It's very reasonable. If I do this, then...in two months, I can get 500 K1 fast guns that are exactly the same as this one?"

This time Tang Mo shook his head, and when everyone was about to change their expressions, he continued, "Of course it's different, there's no carving on it."

The earl glanced at the sample of the K1 fast gun in his hand, and saw the pattern decoration on it specially added to please the nobles, and smiled again on his face: "Hahaha! Good! I will prepare these things for you as soon as possible."

"Besides..." He paused, looked at Tiger and other officers beside him, and drew out his voice.

After the long sound, he explained to Tang Mo: "It's actually a risk to change weapons before the battle!"

"You know, it's not an easy task for soldiers to learn how to operate your weapons, familiarize them with maintaining them, and then take them to the battlefield." He pointed to the Two rows of soldiers walking the parade.

"Then, what is the Earl's request?" Tang Mo knew that the other party must have something to say when he heard what the Earl said, so he asked with a smile.

The earl looked at the soldiers in the distance and made his own request: "So I hope you can come to Northridge in person after selling the weapons, and help train the soldiers who are equipped with new rifles as a consultant."

"This belongs to the category of after-sales service. You reminded me, Lord Earl." Tang Mo said seriously, "Don't worry, our after-sales standard is the highest in the world, there is no doubt about it, we guarantee to satisfy customers. "
