Make France Great Again

Chapter 450 Mauser and metal fixed ammunition

"No! Father, your design ideas have been wrong from the beginning! Your Majesty, what you need is not an enhanced version of the Dresser rifle!"

"Paul, what you need now is to learn more from your father's side, instead of contradicting him here!"

"No! Paul is right! Your Majesty, what is needed is innovation, not for us to continue along Dreiser's path! Oh! Damn it, all I can think about now is damn Dreiser!"

"Um...Team Leader Anderson, I think Dreiser's design ideas are worth learning from, especially the bolt-action and pull-back design..."

"Mr. Xia Sepo, I think the Dreiser firing pin gun failed precisely because of the bolt action! Maybe we should change a reference target..."

This was a quarrel that took place in the Rifle Research Institute. The quarrel became louder and louder as Jérôme Bonaparte gradually approached.

When Jerome Bonaparte crossed the threshold and entered the Rifle Institute and entered the house, everyone in the house seemed to have failed to notice the arrival of Jerome Bonaparte because of the fierce debate.

Until Jérôme Bonaparte cleared his throat and coughed twice.

Only then did everyone present realize that someone was coming, and they all looked towards the entrance of the research institute.

At the entrance of the institute, the figure of Jérôme Bonaparte caught their eyes.

An inexplicable embarrassment filled the entire institute, and all the firearms engineers in the institute were at a loss.

Fortunately, the awkward atmosphere did not last long. Jerome Bonaparte first broke the silence and greeted them: "Good afternoon everyone! What are you talking about? It's so lively!"

"Your Majesty!" Everyone who reacted quickly curtsied to Jérôme Bonaparte to show respect.

Jerome Bonaparte looked at all the members of the institute in turn, from the elderly engineer in his 50s (Anderson Mauser) to the 15-year-old apprentice engineer (William Mauser). It can be said that there are so many talents. .

Among these people, Jérôme Bonaparte was most optimistic about Paul Mauser and Alfonso Chassepo. One of them invented the Mauser series of rifles that dominated Germany for more than half a century. A Chassebol rifle that pioneered French breech-loading guns.

Of course, the 15-year-old William Mauser was also one of the key training targets of Jérôme Bonaparte's plan.

It can be said that most of the engineers in the institute are talents that Jérôme Bonaparte poached from his old father-in-law after he spent a lot of money to let his mother-in-law go home.

Jérôme Bonaparte walked slowly among them, glanced at the Dreiser firing pin gun placed on the table that had been dismantled into parts one after another, and asked Anderson William: "Anderson, were you talking to each other just now?" Debating the merits and demerits of the Dreiser rifle?”

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Anderson Mauser, the leader of the institute, responded dully: "My son (Anderson William suddenly realized that there was no father and son in the institute and hurriedly changed his words)... No, Paul Mauser Se believes that our existing design ideas have been limited by the Dreiser firing needle gun, and we need to further broaden our ideas!"

"Oh?" Jerome Bonaparte turned his gaze to Paul William and encouraged: "Mr. Paul Mauser, do you have any different ideas?"

Paul Mauser, who was looked at by Jérôme Bonaparte and addressed with respect, was a little nervous. After all, not everyone is lucky enough to talk to the leader of an empire.

However, since Jérôme Bonaparte asked the question, Paul Mauser naturally plucked up the courage for the stammering Jérôme Bonaparte and replied: "I think Team Leader Anderson's idea is too obsessed with the rifle itself! This paragraph Time, he has been thinking about how to strengthen the air tightness of the Dreiser rifle!"

"Then where do you think we should start?" Jérôme Bonaparte looked at Paul Mauser in front of him with interest. Somehow, he felt that the future firearms master in front of him could be handed over to him. Wanted answers.

"Your Majesty, I don't know if my idea is correct, but I think the reason why Dreiser has air leakage is not the firearm itself! In other words, Mr. Dreiser has done everything he can, We should look for the reason from the bullet!" After Paul Mauser finished explaining to Jerome Bonaparte, he subconsciously glanced at Jerome Bonaparte's facial expression.

"Very good!" Jérôme Bonaparte applauded Paul Mauser. He especially liked engineers with ideas like Paul Mauser because they could always put their ideas into action: "Now that you have The bullet issue was mentioned, so Mr. Paul Mauser, do you have any solution to this problem?"

"Your Majesty, I think the new rifle needs to have a bullet exclusive to it, just like the Migne rifle. This bullet has better sealing, preferably made of metal. When the hammer hits the primer, the primer can quickly Ignite the propellant, and then the propellant expands and launches the bullet head!" Paul Mauser said to Jérôme Bonaparte while gesturing with his hands in the air.

After listening to Paul Mauser's explanation, Jérôme Bonaparte immediately realized that the special bullets Paul Mauser mentioned were not future metal fixed-loading bullets. From time traveling to now, he has never thought about the metal fixed-loading ammunition once. This is really not the case!

Gu Qi/span Thinking of this, Jérôme Bonaparte looked at Paul Mauser with approval, then patted Paul Mauser on the shoulder and said: "What you said is very good. I hope you can come up with it in the future." Have some courage and say it!”

Jérôme Bonaparte's approval allowed Paul Mauser, who was originally not very confident, to regain his confidence. He mustered up the courage to say to Jérôme Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, I have actually designed a bullet……"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone present looked at him sideways.

"Paul, what are you talking about!" Anderson Mauser saw this and hurriedly scolded Paul Mauser.

The reason why Anderson Mauser reprimanded Paul Mauser was not because he was jealous that his son was more powerful than him, or because he didn't believe in his son's abilities. Instead, he knew the child's abilities too well and thus protected his son.

His years of working experience in the Royal Arsenal taught him that you should never boast in front of the monarch. Otherwise, if you fail to achieve the goals expected by the monarch, you will be regarded as a liar by the monarch and be ignored. Your colleagues around you will unconsciously reject your attempt. The guy who stepped on their body!

"It's true!" Paul Mauser obviously did not understand his father's "good intentions." He responded hoarsely to Anderson Mauser, and then pleaded to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, I Please allow me to leave for a moment!"

"Of course!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded and smiled in response to Paul Mauser.

"Thank you for your kindness!" Protector Mauser bowed to Jérôme Bonaparte and trotted out of the institute.

About 5 minutes later, Paul Mauser reappeared at the door of the institute. With one hand hanging on the door frame, he gasped and stayed at the door for a moment. After he calmed down, Paul Mauser He straightened his body again and came to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Your Majesty!" Paul Mauser handed a slightly wrinkled draft paper into the hands of Jerome Bonaparte.

Jérôme Bonaparte took the scratch paper and unfolded it. There was only a bullet drawn in pencil on the scratch paper.

The material, length, radius, and diameter of the bullet, as well as the primer, propellant, and warhead inside the bullet are all marked on the year.

Judging from the length and radius, the metal fixed-loading bullets hand-painted by Paul Mauser are longer than those bullets seen on TV by Jerome Bonaparte in later generations, and the circles of threads on the surface of the warhead are obviously imitations. Migne's masterpiece.

"Your Majesty, here is the bullet I designed!" Paul Mauser puffed up his chest and proudly introduced to Jérôme Bonaparte: "The shell of the bullet is made of brass, and the hammer hits the primer from the tail, igniting it. Propellant, after the propellant gives energy to the warhead, the warhead launches!"

"It looks good!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded to Paul Mauser, and then changed the subject and asked: "But how do you take out the bullet casing stuck inside the rifle?"

"This..." Paul Mauser immediately fell into deep thought. He seemed not to be aware of the matter of removing the bullet casing: "I haven't thought about this yet!"

"It's great that you can think of this step!" Jérôme Bonaparte once again encouraged Paul Mauser, "How to make the bullet you designed smoothly extract the shell is the goal of your next step!"

"Your Majesty, can I continue along this line of thinking?" Paul Mauser asked with a trembling voice.

"Of course!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded decisively to Paul Mauser.

Then, look for Shuyuan www. zhaoshuyuan.com Jerome Bonaparte glanced at the researchers around him and said loudly: "You all listen to me! I can tolerate your failures countless times, because scientific research work is inherently accompanied by countless failures. can achieve ultimate success, but each of you must conduct a profound analysis of each failure to find the reason for the failure! You cannot blindly conduct experiments, blind experiments will only waste time for no reason! As for you..."

Jerome Bonaparte pointed at Paul Mauser and said: "Your design ideas are worth learning, so I decided to reward you with 5,000 francs as an encouragement!"

"Ah?!" Paul Mauser showed a surprised expression when he heard the reward. He never thought that he would receive such a generous reward.

You know, 5,000 francs is equivalent to his previous salary of two and a half years at the Royal Arsenal in Auburn Dorn.

(The current annual salary of Paul Mauser is about 3,500 francs, including food and accommodation.)
