Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 38 38 New Drawings
Tang Mo led Matthews through the noisy factory building, and led him all the way to his small office.

He walked to the desk, pulled out a few blueprints inside, spread them on the table, and signaled the dwarf Matthews to come and take a look.

Matthews walked over excitedly, looked down at the top drawing, and then he was frightened by the perspective view on this drawing.

Because, he saw a set, a set of sophisticated ammunition supply structure - just need to pull the extended trigger sheath by hand, the bullets in the cartridge under the barrel can be continuously pushed into the bomb bay. Feed structure!

Matthews stared wide-eyed, watching these complicated springs and action structures carefully, unable to say a word for a while.

He knew that just by looking at these complex structures, it would take Tang Mo a day or two to think about how to make the rifle fire continuously.

And such an exquisite design also needs the improvement and support of ammunition - this shows that Tang Mo has not gone far in the improvement of ammunition.

Coupled with the parts of the new revolver that Tang Mo asked him to make before, he was even sure that Tang Mo was really capable of coming up with a mature gunpowder formula that could be used for mass production!Similarly, he definitely has a set of simple and cheap related bullet manufacturing technology!
Thinking of this, he was taken aback suddenly, and then seemed to realize something.

So, he raised his head and looked at Tang Mo: "My God! You have a steam engine! Damn it! My God! You made a steam engine! You have this thing! It's so easy to make cylindrical bullets ! I should have thought of that! Damn it!"

At this moment, he finally realized how terrifying Tang Mo's layout was.The improvement of bullets can directly lead to the improvement of rifles, and the improvement of rifles can change the mode of war!

If everything develops according to Tang Mo's plan, then in the future, Tang's weapons workshop will become the next Cyric, a behemoth leading future wars!

"So, Matthews, the future belongs to us..." Tang Mo pressed his hand on the drawings of the lever rifles, and said to Matthews.

Matthews nodded and agreed deeply: "Master, you are right, the future belongs to you!"

"Take it! You can read it here before leaving, you can't take it out! Keep it secret! Don't let anyone know about it!" Tang Mo pointed to the design drawing of the lever rifle on the table, and said to Matthews: "I will temporarily There is no plan to mass-produce this thing, so it will be kept secret for the time being!"

"Understood! Master!" Matthews took the blueprints excitedly, and looked down with ecstasy.

……

Early the next morning, a convoy from North Ridge crowded in front of Tang Mo's weapons workshop.

The Earl did not break his promise. After he raised supplies and gold coins, he sent them to Tang Mo before Tang Mo delivered the first batch of weapons.

On the one hand, this is determined by the boldness of the Northridge people and the Earl's personality, and on the other hand, it is also determined by the Earl's trust in Tiger.

Although Tiger didn't send the weapons back, he wrote a few letters and ordered people to send them back. North Ridge and Bunas have been in frequent contact, which is why the Earl dared to send the second batch of supplies.

This time, the Earl sent most of the items and gold coins, and the personnel were not so vast.

Except for the knights and infantry who transported supplies, there were very few families of craftsmen who came with them.The news of Tang Mo running a school has not been reported to North Ridge, so naturally none of the family members of the craftsman expected this kind of thing in advance.

So only a few women with children arrived at Tang Mo's place with the convoy. They just came to seek refuge with their husbands, and they followed the convoy just for safety.

To be honest, the supply came too timely this time, which greatly relieved Tang Mo's pressure.The gold coins sent by the Earl can allow Tang Mo to settle the cost of acquiring the land, and also allow him to purchase more land to continue development.

The remaining money can also be used to pay wages to the artisans, recruit more manpower, invite teachers and purchase other materials.

And the high-quality steel and other metals sent from North Ridge can allow Tang Mo to spend a while longer to manufacture a third steam engine, and start a real large-scale production of guns to supply the Lord Earl.

"Give those newcomers a good house and let them live with their men! It doesn't matter if the conditions are poor, but at least it will make them feel at ease." Tang Mo looked at the workers hugging together at the door, their wives and children, He gave instructions to Roger beside him.

"We have built a lot of houses these days, some of which were given to the old workers and their families, and now there are some left over, just for them." Old Roger nodded and said to Tang Mo.

Tang Mo could not hide the smile on his face when he saw the box containing the gold coins brought by Tiger from the carriage, "It really came in time."

"I hope your gun can reach Northridge in time." Tiger's tone was still a bit harsh, but it was much better than before.

Because he has been playing with the revolver that Tang Mo gave him in the past few days, the power of this thing convinced Tiger that Tang Mo was a real genius in weapon design, not a liar.

He is still imagining that one day Tang Mo will be able to mass-produce this new type of revolver and distribute it to the Lord Earl's troops, so that the Earl can be invincible on the battlefield.

Of course, Tang Mo has not been idle these days. He used the few remaining metals to make two identical revolvers for Tiger, one of which was going to be given to the Earl.

Now, he has more metals, including the high-grade steel smelted in Northridge, which allows him to produce some weapons and equipment faster.

Tiger looked at Tang Mo, passed a few soldiers carrying iron ingots, and continued, "These people will stay and escort the first batch of weapons back to Northridge. They have orders, so you'd better Being able to get what they want ready as quickly as possible.”

"It's not difficult, is it? Matthews?" Tang Mo looked at the old dwarf.

Matthews nodded: "Actually, the weapons are already in production. It only takes a day for them to get what they want!"

"I hope everything goes well." Watching several soldiers unload another metal box with a lock on it, Tiger knew it was another box of gold.

"Help me send the gold I owe to the mayor. I don't expect him to cause trouble for me." Tang Mo patted Tiger's shoulder with a smile, and said, "Is there any problem?"

"No problem!" Tiger nodded slightly. He also knew that Tang Mo had already signed the land purchase contract. If he couldn't pay back the balance in arrears on time, all the previous money would be wasted.

So, after getting the money, the first thing Tang Mo had to do was to repay the debt so that he could truly control the land.

"In addition, help me send 50 gold coins to the mayor, and 30 gold coins to the justice of the peace and [-] to the tax officer." Tang Mo generously handed out another huge sum of money, ready to surprise these parents and officials.

"Why? You know, more than 100 gold coins is not a small amount of money." Tiger was a little surprised, because he had never seen such a madman spending money.

If there are tens of millions of family assets, it is obviously reasonable to take out one hundred thousand in bribes.It's not that Tiger has never seen such a bribe, and Cyric is actually very generous.

But when he only had a few hundred gold coins, he dared to offer a fifth, or even a quarter, as a bribe. Tiger had never seen such a crazy approach.

"We have opened a school and are preparing to raise private troops. We may have to do many things in the future. It is very beneficial for us to deal with the officials of Bunas at this time." Tang Mo explained: "They are willing to turn a blind eye By turning a blind eye, we can save a lot of time and energy."

"He... hope... you are right." Tiger hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Why don't you go by yourself?"

"Why? I'm the earl's spokesman, do you understand bullying others? If I handle everything by myself, I'm embarrassing the earl." Tang Mo pointed at himself with a mocking face.

"We all know that you are not at all..." Tiger looked at Tang Mo, and felt that the young man's thoughts were always full of shame.

"No, I am." Tang Mo waved his hand: "At least, now I hope they think I am." Tang Mo shrugged: "Besides, I will personally supervise the assembly of the first batch of K1 quick guns. No time."

"Okay! I'll settle this matter for you." Hearing Tang Mo say this, although he knew that the other party was probably looking for an excuse, Tiger immediately agreed.

"Remember, be proud when you go! Don't be afraid that they will want it, just be afraid that they won't. Tomorrow morning, I guarantee you have a batch of quick guns, which you can take back and give to the Earl."

"..." Tiger nodded, counted out a huge sum of money, and walked towards the town of Bunas with four guards.

On Tang Mo's side, he looked at Roger: "Count all the supplies! Don't get the numbers wrong! Matthews! Come with me, we are going to make a batch of K1 quick guns and send them to the Earl gone."

"Haven't you already prepared the parts?" Matthews asked as he followed Tang Mo.He looked at those drawings last night and saw it late at night, it was really a wonderful feeling.

For so many years, he has been struggling to find a way to shoot weapons continuously, but finally saw the light last night.This means that what he has insisted on all his life is correct, so Matthews looks radiant now.

"Yes! I'm ready!" Tang Mo nodded, his smile was full of complacency: "But we have to rush out at least 50 quick guns to surprise the Earl!"
