What flows out of this pipe is diesel, a yellow, slightly transparent and slightly viscous liquid that is slowly flowing into the storage tank.

The slightly familiar alkane smell of diesel made Gooden suddenly think that he had arrived at a gas station.

It seems that the refining process is successful, but he cannot control the more detailed categories.

After all, one diesel can have two types, nine grades, such as No. 5 diesel, No. 0 diesel, a light diesel with a low freezing point, and No. 10, No. 20, No. 30, such heavy-duty diesel, etc.

However, compared to the production of fuel oil, Gooden is more concerned about the extraction of lubricating oil.

All kinds of machines in Qingyuan Town are now working hard without any lubricating oil, and their loss and failure rates are also extremely high.

After briefly checking the extracted products, Gooden immediately asked someone to make some and try to use them on the machine for comparison.

At the same time, people were also asked to extract samples of each different oil and send them to the research institute, where they were given to researchers to make a sample so that they could understand the characteristics of this product and facilitate research and development work.

The inspection of the petroleum distillation plant lasted until evening.

After all, once a dangerous situation occurs, the destructive power of this thing can be leveraged. Gooden does not want to let any accidents happen here, so he can only give more instructions and strictly enforce safety guidelines.

The petroleum distillation and extraction of related products has been completed. After returning to the castle, Gudern still had some vague expectations for the internal combustion engine.

Although it is difficult to manufacture this thing, compared to the short life span of the magic engine, the advantage of the mechanical engine is that it can operate for a long time.

As long as there is enough fuel, it is not a problem to work until eternity.

Compared with some of the power equipment in Qingyuan Town, although the magic engine is powerful, there is always a sense of excess power in it.

Although after continuous improvement and transformation, it is still no problem for a magic engine to basically maintain operation for a month, but if a large number of magic engines need to be replaced every month, it will be a considerable expense over time.

After thinking about it, Gudern found a previously designed and arranged document from the bookcase shelf.

The above are the research ideas about various types of engines, as well as the scientific and technological industrial plans for the development of motors and power grids...

Chapter 125 Military industry development, military increase in goods

Although he is now fully following the path of the magic industry, he has not neglected or forgotten the development plans and designs of the technology industry.

Whenever a new idea came to him, Gooden would add a few more and save them for future use.

Now that the basic industries in Qingyuan Town have stabilized, manpower may be available to develop this technology line.

However, the development of science and technology industry is not as simple as magic industry. Many complex mechanical industries on Blue Star have only been achieved after nearly a hundred years of development.

Qingyuan Town, which started developing from scratch, still has a long way to go at this step.

The planning required a long time, and it took Gooden two days to finalize the development route and hand it over to the institute to start promoting it.

At the same time, in the institute, the principles of magic modules have been thoroughly understood and three different weapons have been designed.

It has to be said that human development ideas are still very common.

Gudern only provided some ideas for development, and the specific operations were left to the institute's personnel to design independently.

But the firearms produced are actually about 70% as charming as Blue Star's weapons, and the internal mechanisms are also somewhat similar.

The three weapon templates are the third generation fully automatic magic rifle, magic heavy machine gun and magic pistol.

The appearance and structure of the third generation magic weapons jumped directly from World War II weapons to modern weapons. Although the second generation has only been fully deployed for less than half a month, the stronger the weapons, the better.

These outdated weapons can be kept as training weapons or backup weapons, and can be distributed to residents for use in emergencies.

Recruiting residents to serve as temporary military forces is the norm on the current continent. Although it does not have much combat effectiveness, it can always increase some momentum.

However, for Gudern, recruiting residents to serve as a temporary military force is not about increasing momentum. Magic weapons are easy to operate, and you can basically become familiar with them after firing a few rounds.

As for the hit rate?

This thing can be ignored. In a hot weapon war, the outcome is not decided by a few bullets, but by massive suppression and hindering the enemy.

Compared with second-generation weapons, third-generation weapons not only improve the fully automatic burst function, but also add a three-shot function to ensure the suppression of precise attacks.

In addition to the improvement of the automatic burst function, the magic structure has also been improved.

The original structure is to charge once after firing to ensure the stability of the cycle of the magic array structure, but this comes at the cost of making it difficult to fire continuously.

Although pulling the trigger quickly can achieve a rapid fire effect, this will greatly waste time and energy.

And even then, there will be gaps between bursts of fire.

In order to improve this, the firearms design team in charge of the research institute directly and drastically modified the magic array nodes.

Although they don't know magic, there are finished explanation principles here. As long as they follow the rules, there will be no problems.

Therefore, with this guarantee, the internal structure of the entire third generation of magic weapons has undergone tremendous changes. The original magic module in the gun receiver was directly canceled and replaced by a brand new module - the magazine!

The researchers from the institute placed the module that provided magic power on the magazine and made adjustments so that one magazine could support the magic power of thirty rounds of bullets.

Moreover, the magic array structure inside the gun has also been optimized, and with the addition of the required materials in the stand-alone machine, the entire gun not only increases the shooting life, but also reduces the loss of consumables.

The shooting life of the second-generation weapon is about 1,500 rounds, but after modification and optimization, the overall shooting life can reach more than 4,500 rounds.

After reaching 4,500 rounds, the magic array module inside the gun receiver and the charging module in the magazine were replaced.

The principle is very simple. Because it is separated from the charging module, the magic array in the recording gun receiver no longer needs to bear the burden of elemental nodes all the time.

This increases its lifespan in disguise, and the charging module in the magazine does not hold one magazine for endless use. In theory, it comes with three magazines as standard.

After using it in turns, after using it all to the upper limit of life, it has almost reached the lifespan of 4,500 rounds.

The upper limit of life obtained by this addition was something Gooden did not expect, but this design not only reduces the loss, but also extends the replacement time.

The charging module of three magazines plus the once-replaced gun receiver parts, the overall consumption is placed on the second-generation rifle, which can only support a shooting life of 3,000 rounds.

This change directly increased the shooting online by one-third, which is really a big change.

In addition, the structure of the entire gun is similar to that of the Type 95, with a bullpup rear magazine. However, because it does not need to be loaded, the size of a magazine is only ten centimeters, making it extremely convenient for soldiers to carry.

Due to the excellent design performance of the third generation of magic weapons, the other two categories are not so outstanding.

However, they all met his design standards. For example, the heavy machine gun must have a long range, a shooting life of more than 10,000 rounds, and a zero cooling time.

These problems are not a problem for magic weapons. The range is long. In addition to increasing the pressure of the implosion chamber, the wind element is used to push the bullet when it passes through the barrel. This can not only increase the muzzle velocity and range, but also assist in reducing the Barrel temperature.

As for the longevity issue, a series-connected casing structure is used to automatically switch after reaching the upper limit of the life span, ensuring that the output reaches the upper limit of the casing without stopping to replace the module.

Zero cooling is the simplest. In addition to using wind elements to cool down, water elements and ice elements are also used for stable temperature control, allowing the heavy machine gun to fire 10,000 rounds without stopping.

However, compared with the savings of third-generation rifles, heavy machine guns do not have this design. It is estimated that the price of one heavy machine gun can match the cost of twenty third-generation rifles.

But even so, Gudern had to order the construction of mass production factories. This kind of thing is the most effective suppressive weapon against large-scale enemies.

Compared with the short-fire suppression of the magic rifle, the stable suppression and lethality of the heavy machine gun are the most important.

Fortunately, the production of third-generation rifles can directly upgrade the factories of second-generation rifles, which can save a lot of materials, manpower and material resources.

In this way, the new factory only needs to meet the supporting production of heavy machine guns and pistols. The research institute has already joined hands with the construction team to start production.

Although military research is developing rapidly, Gudern still has some regrets.

There is still no clue about the development of the key magic artillery projects and the research on gunpowder weapons.

Gooden was only slightly regretful about this, but there was still enough time and he was not in a hurry.

After finishing his daily affairs, Gudern was about to go to the institute to have a look, when the castle guard came to inform him and Walsh came to ask for an audience.

It has been less than half a month since the last time Walsh took away the manganese steel. What was he doing here this time?

Out of curiosity, Gudern came to the living room to meet the other party.

"Baron Gooden, your Qingyuan Town has changed so much. It has only been so long, and I can hardly recognize it anymore."

As soon as he walked in, Gooden heard Walsh sighing about the changes in Qingyuan Town.

"Qingyuan Town has been abandoned for so many years. Considering the population of Xuegu Town, it is normal for it to develop so fast."

In response to Walsh's exclamation, Gudern smiled slightly and dealt with it casually.

"Colonel Walsh, do you have any new cooperation this time?"

After taking the hot tea from the maid, Gudern asked the other party why he came.

"As expected of the lord who has an insight into traitors, the military is very optimistic about manganese steel. When it is installed on the forward soldiers, the casualties are greatly reduced. The military plans to add another batch."

After giving a compliment, Walsh made his intention clear.

But Gudern heard different information from it, casualties?

The imperial army has converted manganese steel into equipment and put it into actual combat?

Regarding this question, Gooden couldn't help but ask.

"The military department put manganese steel into the army so quickly for actual combat? The frontline war broke out so quickly?"

"No, the frontline is still preparing for war. It is winter now. For the empire, it will be very disadvantageous to attack at this time. The official dispatch of troops to the north will not be until next spring when the snow melts."

Walsh shook his head and then continued.

"What are breaking out now are small-scale reconnaissance conflicts. Troops equipped with manganese steel are used to conduct terrain reconnaissance for large troops and investigate enemy military strength. Encountering battles is inevitable."

"However, thanks to the protection of manganese steel equipment, two teams of those who conducted in-depth investigations relied on protection or came back and brought important information. The upper management of the military was very happy, and then decided to continue to add manganese steel."

Gudern had no way of knowing the secrets ahead, but after briefly understanding it from Walsh's mouth, he realized that the preparation work alone was already so intense.

"I am also very happy that manganese steel can play a role in the army. Tell me how much manganese steel the military department plans to order now. I will prepare it as soon as possible."

In the battle between the two countries, as the lord of the empire, he naturally wanted to 'help'. After all, the orcs had launched an ambush on him, so his favorability was naturally very low.

Of course, in addition to all kinds of cute beast girls, there is a difference between low favorability and hatred.

"The price is the same as before. Since the military is very optimistic about manganese steel, it plans to directly order all the manganese steel production in Qingyuan Town within two months."

All manganese steel production in two months? !

When Gudern heard this, his expression was slightly strange. In order to ensure the stability of steel during the construction of Qingyuan Town, the share of manganese steel has been greatly reduced. The maximum production of manganese steel in a month is only about 20 tons.

But compared to the 10,000 pounds the military first ordered, it more than tripled.

And ordering for two months at once... that's more than 40 tons. At the price of 4.5 tons and 30,000 gold, that's an order of more than 260,000.

Thinking of this, Gudern opened his mouth to explain.

"Colonel Walsh, the population and technology of Qingyuan Town have improved slightly, and the production of manganese steel has also increased. Therefore, I am afraid that the order for two months will be..."

"It doesn't matter. The military department has approved a grant of 200,000 gold. You can take as much manganese steel as you can from this grant. The military department hopes that you can take it all."

Facing the smiling Walsh, Gooden understood why he dared to ask for two months of production capacity.
