For Ishikuma, who already has the mortar manufacturing technology, the manufacturing technology of the grenadier barrel, especially the manufacturing technology of the first-generation grenadier barrel, seems a bit tasteless.

Like the Ferguson rifle, the first-generation grenadier that uses black powder as propellant and explosive charge is a dispensable weapon for the Grim Bear Army.

After all, with mortars and grenades that use smokeless gunpowder as propellant, the first generation of grenades has fallen behind in any respect. The four major alchemists are now developing more powerful mortar and grenadier technology according to Shixiong’s instructions. According to the business philosophy of “producing one generation, storing one generation, and developing one generation,” this first generation of bombing canisters It belongs to the "production generation" that can be marketed.

If you have a motorcycle in your hand, you basically won’t ride a bicycle anymore, and when you own a car, then who will ride a motorcycle?

The Grim Bear Army is now equivalent to owning a car, so it is inevitable that the first-generation grenadier as a "bicycle" will be sold to the outside world.

After all, for such a backward technology for the Grizzly Bear Army, if it can be exchanged for the various materials that the Grim Bear Army urgently needs now, then Stone Bear will definitely not let go of this opportunity.

Otherwise, Shixiong would not show Felisa the first-generation grenadier.

Sure enough, Felisa was also successfully attracted by the first generation of grenades.

Some people may say that although the first generation of grenades is already backward technology for the Grim Bear Army, it is also an epoch-making weapon for the entire European Union. If the production technology of this weapon is sold, it will definitely have a huge impact on the Grim Bear Army.

The fact is true. With the strength and technology of the major European powers, once the bullet-grenade technology spreads, they may soon be able to develop better weapons, and it is not impossible even to catch up with the leading edge of the stone bear. Things. After all, people are national powers one by one, but it is not like Shi Xiong, relying on the four alchemists and the memory in his own mind to support this team.

But Shixiong still decided to sell bullet-throwing technology.

why? Because Shixiong is sure to control the quality of the projectiles of the major European powers within ten years or even twenty years.

To put it bluntly, although the tossing barrel is powerful and easy to carry, it is only a kind of light weapon after all. The range of the grenadier limits the usefulness of this weapon on the battlefield.

In particular, Stone Bear now has the Burst Bear rifle, an individual weapon with an effective range farther than the grenadier, which can greatly limit the use of the grenadier on the battlefield.

The other most important reason is the materials and gunpowder made of the grenades.

The reason why the grenadier of the Burst Bear Brigade has such great power is because the stone bear uses steel instead of iron when casting the grenadier! The reason why the tossing barrel has such a long range is also because of the smokeless gunpowder.

Although the British began to use coke instead of wood to make iron at the beginning of the eighteenth century, even throughout the eighteenth century, steel production in European countries was very low. In particular, the casting of bullet barrels has higher requirements for steel.

In fact, even European countries can now smelt steel, but the quality of that kind of steel is really average, at best it is better than cast iron. The steel that can be used to cast bullet barrels is still not produced in European countries.

It does not mean that pig iron cannot be used as a grenadier. Pig iron can be used for artillery, so why can't it be used as a grenadier?

But the problem is that if you want to ensure the lightness of the grenades and the range of the grenades, the cast iron grenades will not work. Otherwise, the artillery used in European countries will not be so stupid and clumsy. Up.

To be able to meet the standards of the first generation of grenades, it is necessary to use real steel to make grenades.

In other words, without Shixiong providing the corresponding materials, even if you have mastered the technique of making bullet grenades, you will not be able to make a qualified grenades! This is also the fundamental reason why Shixiong dared to sell this kind of technology.

If you want to make a qualified grenadier, you have to buy my steel, otherwise, the grenadier you make is at most a larger firework.

Similarly, Shi Xiong did not think that the current alchemists could crack the formula of smokeless gunpowder. They have studied the perfect formula of black powder and haven't worked it out yet, so why can they crack the formula of smokeless powder?

As long as the source of materials and smokeless gunpowder is controlled, Stone Bear will have the confidence to control the quantity and quality of the bullets of these military powers in Europe.

Perhaps European countries will begin to vigorously develop steel smelting technology because of the throwing of bullets, but this will take time. The stone bear does not need much time, twenty years, or even ten years.

As long as the War of Independence breaks out, all problems will no longer be problems.

Now Shixiong's strategy is simple to say, that is, uniting Great Britain, suppressing France, and secretly doing trade with Spain.

France is destined to do nothing in this land of North America. The dwarf who has the title of "Emperor of the French" and controls more than half of Europe has not yet been born, and even his first French empire is almost It can sweep across Europe, but it is beyond reach on the New World side.

Therefore, suppressing the French is a correct choice.

The British can say even better, now Shixiong's strategy is to unite the British, of course it is only a temporary unity. Once the War of Independence breaks out, Shi Xiong will adjust his attitude towards Britain and the United States according to the specific situation of the war.

As for Spain, it is a qualified trading partner. Shi Xiong only wants to obtain more supplies through the Spaniards.

Moreover, during and after the War of Independence, these European powers have been in intrigue. This is Shi Xiong's opportunity.

Once Stone Bear fully controls all the land west of the 13 British Colonies, then even the British won the War of Independence Stone Bear will not be afraid. And not only is it not afraid of the British, but France, Spain, Prussia, and Stone Bear are not afraid!

Moreover, selling bullet-grenading technology ~lightnovelpub.net~ can also trigger an arms race among these European military powers. Although the bullet-throwing technology can greatly increase their military strength, the restriction between these powerful countries is precisely the biggest opportunity for Shi Xiong.

Not to mention that there is an irritable Atlantic Ocean between the European continent and the North American continent!

The subsequent generations of World War I and World War II were so brutal that they had no impact on the United States. This is enough to prove how powerful this ocean is. With this ocean as a barrier, the stone bear can let go of his hands and feet and do a lot of work.

Now that the Spaniards want bullet-throwing technology, sell it to them.

It's just that the price is definitely not just two thousand horses, Stone Bear wants more.

Not only war horses, but at least some types of shipbuilding technology and shipbuilding technicians, as well as some other materials that Shixiong urgently need, need to be added.

Putting such a good one to be taken advantage of, wouldn't it be too sorry for the sharp knife that he grinds?
