But Olek was wondering, could a piece of metal wrapped with a wooden stick really be that powerful?

Gudern naturally noticed the change in the expressions of the two men and explained.

"This one is the second-generation improved version. The ones Captain Hogz had seen before were the third-generation version, which is the latest one."

"Although this thing is one version behind, there is no change in its power and operation. It is specially designed to facilitate the sale of the empire."

Gudern said, and asked Olek to apply for an attack test to see the attack effect of this weapon.

After getting permission, Gooden inserted the metal slug, turned on the safety and aimed at the target at the shooting range.

After the six gunshots, Olek was obviously very interested in the weapon in Gudern's hand.

With his strength perception, he could clearly 'observe' the inner workings of the weapon called a 'rifle'.

Just a simple fireball impact can actually make a metal bullet impart such strong speed and damage. Based on Olek's perception analysis, it will not be a problem if this thing hits a thinner armor at close range and directly penetrates it.

And the attack range is also very terrifying, it can reach three hundred meters, which is more than twice that of a normal strong bow.

At the same time, this thing can also be equipped with semi-automatic bursts. Although the ammunition capacity is a bit small, this rate of fire allows the imperial sergeants to line up and attack, which is also a very terrifying thing in an instant.

"This thing is indeed interesting. It is indeed a very powerful weapon for ordinary soldiers, but why sell a backward version? If you consider the price issue, you don't have to worry at all."

After Olek made a comment, he asked Gudern.

"Your Majesty, you have seen the power and performance of this weapon. In addition, if the imperial army needs to equip it, the number will naturally not be too small."

"But there is no control mechanism for such weapons. If they are exposed, it will not be a good thing for the empire, just like the current control of military crossbows."

"Once this kind of weapon is used for assassination, even a master-level person will not be able to take immediate precautions in the case of a close-range surprise attack."

Gudern's words also made the two of them nod slightly. This kind of weapon is indeed powerful, and once it is exposed, it will indeed cause a lot of trouble.

Gudern also informed some of the shortcomings of the weapon, such as the need to replace the gun receiver and possible accidental injuries on the battlefield.

I don't really care about these Oreks. If I need to replace them, I can just buy them. If there is a proficiency accidental injury, etc., then I will train more and become more proficient. This thing is much easier than normal confrontation training.

After a brief understanding, Olek also fired a few rounds to try his hand. Under extraordinary precise control, except for the first two rounds, which were adjusted and familiarized, the subsequent bullets hit the target with almost 100% accuracy. Hit rate.

Various small functions on the rifle, such as ammunition display, shooting life, sight adjustment, etc., were determined after tens of thousands of debuggings by the Weapons Research Institute.

It can be said that except for the performance of the foreign trade version of the second-generation rifle, which has been emasculated, all other functions it is equipped with are those of the third-generation rifle.

Human-machine debugging has also been continuously improved and can be said to be quite perfect.

Olek also praised and sighed after the test.

"This thing is really good. The operation feels good and there are various prompts and small functions. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a handicraft. How much does one like this cost?"

"A rifle costs five gold coins, a receiver costs two gold coins, and a bullet costs one copper coin."

Hearing that this thing was so cheap, Olek even wondered if he had heard it wrong and quickly asked again.

"How much?"

After Gudern repeated it, Olek immediately made up his mind.

"First come the rifles, five hundred thousand, and the receivers, five hundred thousand. As for the bullets... one hundred thousand gold first!"

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, this is too much, it is unnecessary."

Hearing the number revealed by his father, Gooden stuttered, shook his head, and then explained.

"Such a large quantity cannot be produced with the current output of Qingyuan Town, and the role of second-generation rifles is actually more for training than actual combat."

Then, Gudern told Olek about the existing upgrade plan. When they heard that Gudern was planning to conduct identification and accidental damage locking, the two people's expressions were full of surprise.

How can a weapon do this?

But after Weiwei thought about Gudern's suggestion, Olek readjusted his ordering requirements.

"Then adjust it to 50,000 rifles, 50,000 accessories, and five thousand gold for bullets."

"Okay, in this case, it can be all provided within a month at most. Then we can directly send troops to Qingyuan Town to pick it up."

Hearing that preparations for production could be so fast, Olek was once again shocked by his son and couldn't help but ask.

"Didn't you say that the output is not that big? You prepare 50,000 yuan a month. How did you do it?"

When faced with Olek's inquiry, Gudern did not hide anything and briefly talked about the situation in Qingyuan Town.

And for and said that the insufficient time production he said meant that the empire could not be equipped to fight the orcs in a short period of time.

If it is really necessary to equip 500,000 rifles, Qingyuan Town can do it, but without expanding the factory, it will take eight or nine months to complete.

By that time, the situation of the war will be unknown.

Moreover, Oleg, as his biological father, has also made his attitude and identity clear, and he clearly stands with him.

Under such circumstances, Gudern also showed his sincerity, otherwise the price of the rifle would have doubled, and the bullet would have been five copper coins per shot.

Regarding Gudern's words, Olek's eyes were full of surprise and satisfaction. This son really did not disappoint him!

Chapter 188 Visiting the royal capital and meeting acquaintances again

The arms trade was finalized in a few words.

This batch of trades can yield a net profit of 300,000 yuan, which can be said to be extremely profitable.

Of course, in addition to firearms, Olek and Hogtz valued artillery more. This was the weapon that determined victory or defeat on the battlefield.

Even if the imperial army is not equipped with firearms, it still needs to be equipped with artillery, an artifact of siege.

Of course, there is no actual test sample of the artillery now, but it still cannot stop Olek's money-making ability. He directly pre-ordered twenty 75 field guns and ordered 10,000 rounds of artillery shells.

The total price is 550,000, a 75 field gun costs 2,500 gold, and a standard high-explosive bomb costs 50 gold.

This is really like a thousand taels of gold when the cannon fires.

Of course, the money he earned from his own father was not in vain. The supporting training ammunition and personnel training were all given away by Gooden for free, and after-sales maintenance and other accessories and other benefits were included. It can be said that it was a one-step purchase. A good businessman with lifelong service.

One million gold coins were spent at once, and Olek didn't even blink an eye.

For him, this small amount of money is just a test to form a special army. If the effect is good, he will continue to expand and improve it.

After all, Gudern also promised that once the latest fourth-generation weapons are successfully developed, the empire can be the first to purchase and assemble these weapons.

"Okay, the matter has been discussed. I won't keep you here anymore. When you come to the capital, you can go out for a walk. The expenses will be charged to the royal family. I will let someone accompany you."

After discussing the arms matter, Olek asked Gudern to go around the royal capital by himself so that he could feel the power of the empire.

In the past, I was too worried about Gooden. Now it seems that without the protection of those ten years, maybe he would grow faster?

After resigning, it was already noon when Gudern returned to his palace. After having a simple meal, he took Irene and Old Joseph to prepare to go out for a walk in the royal capital.

Of course, Hogtz and the others who were still waiting outside were not forgotten.

Counting the following Garay and the guards, there were about twenty people in the group, and five carriages alone were arranged.

The royal capital has a population of one million. Even at night, some areas are still brightly lit. But now during the day, the flow of people is even greater.

Fortunately, the urban construction plan of the royal capital was obviously professionally designed. The main roads were very wide and there were specially designed sidewalks. There was no such thing as people and carriages sharing the same road.

Although Gudern came from the Royal Capital and was considered a native of the Royal Capital, he didn’t know anything about the situation in the Royal Capital. He didn’t even know where to find fun when he came to the place where he grew up. This was really ironic. of.

Fortunately, there are two guides here who can provide many good places to visit, but in the end Gudern chose the Yongshuang River Pier outside the royal capital as his first stop.

This choice made everyone confused, but they drove all the way without asking too much.

The Yongshuang River runs from the Yongshuang Mountains all the way down through the entire Orrea Empire. Its length is close to nearly 10,000 kilometers, which is astonishing. Outside the royal capital, the Yongshuang River will be divided into two, with one side leading to The Redro Empire leads to Dongsen Green Valley in the eastern part of the empire.

As the true center of the empire, the Fenggu Plain has unparalleled plain fertile soil, and is irrigated by the Yongshuang River that runs through it. This area produces enough food every year to feed the entire continent for a whole year. At the same time, because Because of its flatness, the Yongshuang River has a few areas where ships can navigate.

If you want to play, you have to start from the most attractive place.

As a visitor from another world, Gudern is full of curiosity about the civilization and living habits of this world.

And as the first stop for many people when they come to the royal capital, people from all over the empire gather here, and here they can more intuitively feel and see the appearance of the most basic people in the empire.

Going out from Xicheng, slowly walking south along the river mouth, blowing the warm breeze, Gudern had a simple understanding of the richness of the empire.

The affluence can be felt from the clothes worn by the working residents in the outer city and the prices of goods in the surrounding areas.

Unlike Qingyuan Town in his northern border, where the annual income is at most two or three gold coins, the most ordinary residents around the royal capital can earn seven or eight gold coins a year.

The difference is several times different. At the same time, although the price will be a bit more expensive, with the huge surrounding cities supplementing the supply, this high price can be regarded as normal civilian prices. It is absolutely no problem to have a meal of meat in three or two days. .

Moreover, Fenggu Plain is different from the cold in the north. It can only feel the three seasons of spring, summer and autumn all year round. It is for this reason that even now in mid-December, the breeze outside carries a hint of warmth. .

Such a climate makes the Royal Capital, and even the entire city in the Fenggu Plain, no longer accustomed to hibernation and rest. They will work normally even in winter. In this way, they can work almost all year round.

However, although there are few breaks, their work is not 996 every day, and they still have enough rest time every day.

A stroll outside the city not only allowed Gudern to understand the grassroots operations of the empire, but also made him feel the hugeness of the royal city.

It took almost half an hour to come out of the west city wall and then go south to the side gate of the south city. The journey covered almost ten kilometers. This is just a corner of the city wall and it is already so long. If the entire city length is added up, Together, the length is even greater.

After returning to the south gate and re-entering the city, Gudern did not choose to wander to any strange place, but went straight to the trading district to the east of the south city.

As the trading district of the royal capital, this is also one of the areas in the city that never sleeps.

On both sides of the busy street, many pedestrians browsed the shops' items.

Although the town of Qingyuan has returned to liveliness, there are not that many commercial shops in the whole town. The only tavern and several shops are still firmly in his hands, and the ones he provides are still provided by him. commodity.

Therefore, if you want to go shopping, there is nothing to do. This can be regarded as a shortage situation in Qingyuan Town.

Now that I have come to the Royal City, I naturally want to go shopping and spend some time. This can be regarded as a relaxing trip with Irene.

After shopping around the street, there were a lot of unique styles of clothing from this world on the carriage, as well as a lot of cloth for making clothes.

"Master, there are too many clothes, I can't finish them!"

Irene, who put on a new dress, coquettishly said to Gudern while sitting in the carriage.

"Is it too much? Well, okay, then I won't buy it. Let's go to Magic Street. I'll buy some other things."

Looking at the carriage box full of clothes, Gudern touched his chin and then ordered to turn around.

Eileen was relieved to see that the young master finally stopped buying clothes.

At the same time, I felt a little distressed. The clothes I was wearing almost cost as much as a set of armor.

Gudern bought her a lot of clothes like this, as well as a lot of fine fabrics. Although this thing is indeed very comfortable to wear...but...
