The last two products are the finale of the institute. But one was a crappy finale. It has been several months since Xiao Jie handed over the blueprint of the 75mm field gun to them. They didn't develop the samples until last week. They built two guns in total, but they were all scrapped during the test yesterday. After the first cannon was loaded with shells, it exploded directly in the barrel, injuring two researchers. The second door was better, but it only fired two cannonballs. What is frustrating is that their ranges are not up to the standard at all, less than one thousand meters. I don't know why. When the third shell was fired, the second gun also exploded, but fortunately no casualties were caused.

So now, there are only two piles of scrap iron in front of Xiao Jie, making Xiao Jie dumbfounded. Balal stood aside, blushing like a monkey's butt. And Xiao Jie's guards suppressed their laughter with all their strength, trying not to let themselves laugh, and their faces were also flushed.

"This is the 75mm field gun you developed?" Xiao Jie asked, pointing to the two piles of scrap iron in front of him.

Balal replied with a blushing face, "Yesterday they were indeed two cannons, but today they can only be regarded as two piles of scrap iron."

Xiao Jie was very depressed. After spending so much money, he only got two piles of scrap iron in the end. However, in order not to dampen their confidence, Xiao Jie put all these in his heart, and comforted Balal with a smile on his face: "It's okay, failure is the mother of success, I believe you will also be able to recover from this failure." I have accumulated a lot of experience, and I believe you will succeed next time. If you have any needs, please feel free to mention them, and I will try my best to satisfy them. In addition, I have decided to add another one million francs in research funding. I hope you will not Let me down." But no matter how you look at it, he feels that his smile is a little fake.

Balal was deeply moved by Xiao Jie. They spent a lot of money but failed to achieve success, but Xiao Jie not only did not blame them, but also encouraged them and increased investment in research funds. He felt that this was completely Xiao Jie trust in him. "His Royal Highness, thank you for your trust in us. Please believe in us. We will overcome all difficulties and develop the cannon." Balal said with a trembling voice.

"I believe that God will bless you all, and you will be successful." Xiao Jie encouraged them again, and even brought out God's words, with a full-fledged look on his face. It's just that they don't know that the things they developed are used to kill people. Maybe it would be more appropriate to ask Satan to bless them.

"By the way, can you give us some comments, Your Royal Highness? Just like your comments on the Maxim heavy machine gun." Balal said with a full face of admiration, and quickly took out the book after speaking. A notebook that records Xiao Jie's opinions.

"Maybe he should hire a stenographer." Xiao Jie thought suddenly.

Balal had already asked this question, and he would feel a little sorry if he didn't say something. So Xiao Jie said: "Actually, I don't have much research on cannons. The most basic problem is the quality of steel. Although the quality of steel has been greatly improved compared to before, it still cannot meet the requirements for making cannons. In addition, the previous cannons were all made of copper, and we have accumulated a lot of experience. Now we use steel to make cannons. This is a brand new field. We don’t have any experience to rely on. We can only rely on our own groping. , so failure is inevitable. Another problem is that the shells in the past were all spherical, but the shells now have a different shape. Don’t doubt whether this shell is the best. I’m sure , This style of conical shell with fins under the middle cylinder is definitely the best style of shells. You have never experienced all this, so even if I fail, I will be cheaper and I don’t blame you. Sometimes scientific research is It's very dangerous. Just like your experiment yesterday, two researchers were injured. This is relatively minor, and maybe someday someone will even die for these studies. I'm not threatening you, these are facts, I just want to tell you to be as careful as possible while working, and to avoid these accidents as much as possible. For the two researchers who were injured yesterday, I will bear all their medical expenses, and I will also compensate each of them with 20,000 francs. In such a situation, it will be dealt with in this way.”

Xiao Jie's doing so once again won him the support of the researchers, enabling them to devote themselves to the research work without any scruples, which greatly improved the work efficiency.

"I'm not very clear about the problems you encountered in the test. I think the thickness of the gun barrel can also be increased, but at the same time, care must be taken not to make the cannon too heavy. You must know that this is a field gun, not a siege gun , if it is too heavy, the maneuverability will be greatly reduced. You can try to improve the primer and see if it can be improved. This may help the launch of the shells. Well, I only have this suggestion, and leave the rest to Here it is. I hope you will be successful." Xiao Jie thought about it in his heart, but in the end he still didn't tell them the formula of *, because he didn't know the specific ratio of those raw materials, and now he only used smokeless firecrackers. The power of the shells made by yao is already terrifying in this era~lightnovelpub.net~ There is no need to interfere too much with the progress of history.

The last product is the most successful work of the research institute except for the 1806-style cavalry gun, and that is two types of mortars of different calibers developed according to Xiao Jie's requirements. In Xiao Jie's vision, they will serve as company Primary support fire at the platoon level. The two calibers are 37mm and 60mm. The effective range can reach 1000 meters, and the limited killing area of ​​​​the shells has reached 20 square meters and 40 square meters respectively. Of course, this refers to the data under plain terrain conditions without obstacles. If it is changed to mountainous areas or other places with obstacles, then this data will be discounted.

Although there are still some problems with these two cannons, they are all minor problems or problems that cannot be solved at all under the current conditions. Although it will have some slight impact on the shooting effect, it can be overcome. Xiao Jie is also very satisfied with the mortars of these two calibers. With them, the infantry firepower of the 88th Army can be developed by leaps and bounds. The weight of the two mortars is not very heavy, 45 kg and 65 kg respectively. It can be split into several parts, which greatly improves the mobility of the troops. This is very important in future operations.

After the firepower has been strengthened, Xiao Jie now has full confidence to face head-on with the 88th Army and the Russian Cossack cavalry, which is known as the most powerful cavalry. As long as it is not an encounter, he is absolutely sure to defeat the mighty Cossack cavalry.
