Super Chief

　　 "Those refined table salt you made was obtained from here?" Lieutenant Ferguson asked with a constipated expression looking at the small salt mountain in front of him.

　　 The weather on this day was fine, and it was a rare warm day, so Shi Xiong took Lieutenant Ferguson to Xiaoyan Mountain. Since this guy showed curiosity about salt making, Shixiong didn't mind showing him how the exquisite table salt was made.

　　 Lieutenant Ferguson was shocked when he saw the hot and lively scene under Xiaoyan Mountain. He even dipped his hand in the rock salt he had just chiseled off and licked it. As a result, his bitter face changed drastically.

　　 But his complexion hasn't returned to normal, and he saw the refined salt just boiled over there, so his complexion has become so wonderful.

　　 Lieutenant Ferguson had seen this kind of toxic rock salt, but he couldn't figure it out anyway, why these toxic rock salt could eventually become that kind of exquisite maddening table salt.

　　 "Do you want to learn? Tell me if you want to learn, I will teach you! Then you can follow my method to make salt after you return to the British mainland. I promise you will be the richest man in the UK within three years!"

　　 This is not a bullshit. The salt stuff, especially the refined salt that sells well, if it can be made in the UK, then the profits can definitely drive any great nobleman crazy. Even if Ferguson finds a powerful nobleman to partner in this kind of business, he will definitely become a rich man in a famous town within three years.

　　 Ferguson rolled his eyes and said, "You are not my brother, you are four years younger than me!"

　　 Shixiong shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "The expert is brother!"

　　 Lieutenant Ferguson rolled his eyes again, and turned off the topic directly: "I still don't learn this stuff, and learning it is of no use to me. My interest is not in this respect."

"Really not studying?" Shi Xiong tilted his head and looked at Lieutenant Ferguson, who was more than half a head shorter than himself. "It's okay, you don't have to worry about money and other expenses. You just need to call me brother or boss, and I will pay. You learn how to make salt."

　　 Lieutenant Ferguson turned around and left. He really doesn't understand, why this big guy always wants to call himself his brother or the boss, and he is obviously better than him. If he calls his brother, he has to call his own brother!

　　 Shixiong laughed, not thinking about it, and chanting loudly: "Tune the road slowly and slowly, I will search for it up and down! Hahahaha..."

　　 Whether it is Lieutenant Ferguson or the people of the tribe, they don’t know what language this big guy said in what language—how could they understand the old saying that Shi Xiong said in Chinese at this time?

　　 Shixiong had to admit that this guy Ferguson is indeed a very assertive person. In the face of something like salt making that can generate such a huge benefit, this guy refused to bow his head.

　　 Does he really not know that just by calling the insignificant "brother" or "boss", he will be able to learn the salt production method that can easily bring him tens of thousands of pounds in a year?

"This guy must know, and he must have been shaken, but he was able to control his inner desires afterwards. Hope! As expected, he is the person I see in the official Shi Xiong." At this moment, Shi Xiong is really a little bit I admire this young Ensign Ferguson.

　　 The two rode horses to the tribe together, and the stone bear asked on the way: "Patrick, are the rifle barrels you use now still made in that way of casting?"

　　 Lieutenant Ferguson nodded, but his interest has obviously improved a lot.

　　 As long as it is about firearms, he is very interested.

　　 "Then what do you think of the power of the rifle you are using now? Well, I mean the range and penetration."

"The penetration power of the standard rifle we use right now is not bad. After all, the caliber of the rifle we use has reached 7.5 inches, and the projectiles fired are heavy, so the lethality is still very good. The effective range is shorter. ......." Lieutenant Ferguson looked a little embarrassed.

　　 "Then have you thought about adding rifling to the barrel? This will increase the effective range."

Lieutenant Ferguson nodded first, then shook his head and said: "Rifling is a good thing, and it has been around for a long time, but the processing technology of rifling is really too difficult. It can only be made by hand, and the output is too low. Not suitable for large-scale equipment."

　　 After a pause, he continued: "I once suggested that my officer build a small number of rifled guns for soldiers with excellent marksmanship, but the officer refused."

　　 "Then you can rifle?" Shixiong asked.

Lieutenant Ferguson nodded, "Rifling is not a simple thing, but I will do it. Now in the colony, many immigrants from the Old World will use simple wooden machinery to rifle~www.readwn.com ~Especially those immigrants from Germany. Many of the "Jeg" guns they use are rifled. Now some hunters in Pennsylvania also use this method of making Jig guns to create themselves With a long spear, it is said that the effective range is very good."

　　 Shi Xiong nodded silently. The "Jager" gun referred to by Lieutenant Ferguson is a technique brought over from German immigrants and used for hunting and self-defense. Hunters in Pennsylvania mostly use this technique to make guns, so the rifle made with this technique is called the Pennsylvania Pike. Later, this long gun spread to Kentucky, where hunters improved the gun. The caliber was reduced to 500 caliber, the barrel was lengthened, and the **** was added. The warhead was also covered with grease-soaked leather or cotton cloth. Eli loaded the front chamber, so this rifle became the famous Kentucky rifle.

Shixiong is also very clear that in the original historical time and space, the Ferguson Ensign next to him was injured by this rifle with an effective range of 180 meters. After learning from the pain, he developed the Ferguson rifle. . But fate reincarnation, Lieutenant Ferguson did not escape the fate of the Kentucky rifle after all, because he was killed by this kind of Kentucky rifle in the end...

"Go, I will teach you to make a rifle that can be reloaded. If this gun is equipped with a rifled barrel, not only will it be loaded much faster, but the effective range will be more than twice that of the standard rifle you are using now! "Shi Xiong said lightly, quite suspicion of pretending to be forced.

　　 "Really? Do you really have this kind of rifle manufacturing method?" Ferguson was excited.

　　 "Of course, as long as you are willing to call me brother or boss, I will give you what to do immediately."

　　 Lieutenant Ferguson immediately fell into entanglement...
