Chapter 244 Maxim Heavy Machine Gun
After arranging the matter of Lou Gao, Quan Yi then came to the first blacksmith shop.
The first blacksmith shop is different from the height of the building. It carries another important task.
That is weapons research and development.
Within this year, Quan Yi and Yuan Blacksmith developed matching firearms for smokeless gunpowder.
Since Quan Yi changed the bullets to metal shells, fixed-loading bullets.
The research and development of firearms is completely divorced from the firearms of the black powder period.
In order to maximize the use of smokeless powder metal cartridges, Quan Yi and Yuan Blacksmith jointly developed a terrifying weapon.
And today is the day to officially test its power.
Quanyi was built before he went to the Star Forest. However, due to its powerful performance, the existing shooting range could not completely test its data.
For this reason, Izumi made a prompt decision and built a special shooting range.
Quan Yi came to the institute, walked into the room, and found that there was no one inside.
Quan Yi was not surprised, he walked quickly to the corner of the room.
The corner of the room was empty, but Izumi pressed his hand on a part of the wall next to it, and the smooth front dented as he pressed.
“Click!”
The sound of mechanical rotation sounded, and the ground in front of Quan Yi slowly rose, revealing the stairs extending downward.
Quan Yi walked down the stairs slowly. As Quan Yi went deeper, the wide-open entrance slowly closed.
After the entrance is closed, a faint soft light is emitted at the end of the dim passage, which prevents people from seeing clearly what is going on under their feet.
The stairs descended straight down to a depth of about four or five floors, and Quan Yi walked into an extremely empty underground space.
The length and width of the underground space are about two thousand meters, and the height is also six meters high. All six sides are covered with hard granite.
Various lamp-shaped soul guides are actually embedded throughout the walls, providing light for the dim underground space.
Under the light, Quan Yi could see a shooting passage drawn out in the underground space.
Quan Yi's side is the shooting position, and the opposite side is where the shooting target is.
However, the shortest shooting target distance here is more than three hundred meters.
The farthest one is placed close to the opposite wall, which is two thousand meters.
While Quan Yi was watching the newly built underground shooting range, Blacksmith Yuan, who was decorating something in the distance, noticed Quan Yi's arrival.
He stood at the shooting position in the middle, waved to Quan and said, "Young Master!"
Quanyi walked to Yuan Blacksmith and said, "Why are you here alone?"
Blacksmith Yuan touched the huge gun barrel placed on the shooting stand and said: "I don't feel comfortable putting this thing here, so I will come and take a look every day these days."
Quan Yi followed Blacksmith Yuan to the shooting stand and saw a strange-shaped firearm standing on the shooting stand.
It is composed of a gun body and a tripod, so it can stand on a flat surface without anyone lifting the gun.
What is even more peculiar is that on one side of the gun body, there is a belt of metal bullets connected to it.
Quan Yi looked at it with fiery eyes, and its name in its previous life flashed through his mind.
Maxin heavy machine gun.
Quan Yi smiled and said: "I want to test its power now."
Yuan Blacksmith replied: "I have made preparations these days. Young Master can test its power at any time. "
Tiejiang Yuan stepped aside to give way to Quan Yi.
Quan leaned on one side and grasped the handle behind the gun body.
The cold metallic texture from the palm of his hand did not extinguish the heat in Quan Yi's heart at all.
Quan Yi straightened the gun body and looked forward. He saw a thick steel plate placed one thousand meters away from the passage.
Moreover, this is only the first one. Behind it, there are several three equally spaced steel plates stacked neatly. Izumi stared ahead and fired the first bullet decisively.
"Pah, pah, pah, pah"
In just a moment, bright fire burst out from the cold barrel, and countless bullets rained down quickly. Hitting the steel plate thousands of meters away.
"Dang, clang, clang, clang."
In an instant, the huge steel plate five centimeters thick was shot into a sieve by Quan Yi's heavy machine gun.
“Bang!”
In less than thirty seconds, the steel plate at the front collapsed, and the second steel plate behind it began to bear the attack of the heavy machine gun.
The strong smell of gunpowder, the sound of bullets colliding with steel plates, and the clang of falling cartridge cases all together created the tragic sound of death.
Such a sound, if placed on the surface, would definitely be noticed by people around it.
It's no wonder Quanichi built the shooting range deep underground.
The loud noise and fire lasted for a very short time. After one minute, the gun stopped shooting.
The hundreds of bullets loaded on the ammunition belt were all consumed in just one minute.
Quan Yi looked at the two steel plates that had been shot through by the machine gun, and said loudly: "It's great! Blacksmith Yuan, we succeeded!"
Blacksmith Yuan was completely stunned at the moment, his eyes dull. looked at the horrific scene in front of him.
Although as the forger, Blacksmith Yuan knows its power best, this understanding is theoretical.
Today, after seeing the true power with his own eyes, Blacksmith Yuan was very excited.
"Young Master, we succeeded."
Quan Yi was still a little unhappy and said to Yuan Blacksmith: "Are there any bullets left?"
Yuan Blacksmith opened it aside The ammunition box was moved to one side by hand and reloaded for Quan Yi.
Quan Yi grasped the handle of the gun again and fired forward.
"Tap-tat-tat-tat."
The bullets connected in a line followed Quan Yi's control and carved a circle on the third steel plate.
A minute later, the new ammunition belt was consumed.
Yuan Blacksmith immediately took out a new ammunition belt and loaded it on Quan Yi seamlessly, and Quan Yi continued to shoot at the steel plate.
After the third ammunition belt was consumed, the cold barrel of the gun made a harsh sound of steam.
White steam emits from the channel on the side of the barrel.
This is a cold water pipe designed to cool down the heated barrel.
Therefore, its barrel is also thicker than other barrels.
Quan Yi vented to his heart's content. Five cartridge belts and more than a thousand bullets were poured out on the steel plate in just a few minutes.
After all the water inside the barrel had evaporated and all the bullets he had prepared were consumed, Izumi let go of his hands with hesitation.
Tiejiang Yuan laughed and said: "Tiejiang Yuan, with it, our Quan family will have the power to change the entire continent."
Tiejiang Yuan looked at Quan Yi with passion in his heart and said: " Yes, young master, with it, no matter if we face thousands of soul masters, we can still subdue them with bullets."
In its mind, there was a scene, which was in an empty place. On the battlefield, the enemy came with tens of thousands of soldiers.
On their side, they only need to build a line of defense and place a dozen machine guns carrying countless bullets.
Ten minutes later, countless steel bullets passed through the bodies of tens of thousands of people, leaving countless bright red blood on the ground.
Such a terrifying weapon made Blacksmith Yuan feel a little chilly in his heart.
