Chapter 728： Mauser rear-loading gun 1.0

"Make... make a fortune??"

William Parkin, who had not turned his head around, looked at Jerome Bonaparte blankly. He did not understand what effect his failed experiment could have.

"That's right!" Jerome Bonaparte explained to William Parkin: "At present, most of the dyes we use are natural dyes. They are not only expensive, but also rare!

The price of the dyes you make is lower than that of natural dyes. The reduction of dyes not only means lower production costs, but also means that the dyes you make will be more popular in the market.

Every commodity that is favored by the market, their prospects are not too big.

So Mr. Parkin, can you sell me this technology! "

"Sell?" Parkin looked at Jerome Bonaparte in surprise. In his opinion, aniline violet came from the laboratory and should be something in the laboratory.

"This is something that belongs to you, and of course we have to discuss it with you!" Jerome Bonaparte persuaded: "What do you think is 100,000 francs plus 10%... No, what about the 15% stake in the dye company?"

"I..." William Henry Parkin looked at Jerome Bonaparte dully.

For Parkin, who was born into a middle-class family, 100,000 francs would require their entire family to work for about 5 years to save enough, not to mention a 15% stake in the fuel company.

Parkin believed that the company opened by the emperor would not be a small company.

Not satisfied? Jerome Bonaparte thought to himself.

"150,000 francs...plus 17% of the shares!" Jerome Bonaparte once again quoted a brand new price.

This time, not only Parkin, but everyone including Louis Pasteur was surprised by Jerome Bonaparte's handwriting.

"These are my investments in you!" Jérôme Bonaparte patted Parkin on the shoulder, "I can assure you that after you finish your Bachelor of Chemistry at École Polytechnique, you will be awarded the The title of professor, and the newly established dye company will also make you the chief consultant."

Facing such lucrative conditions as Jerome Bonaparte. Parkin immediately chose to surrender: "I do!"

"Very high!" Jerome Bonaparte responded kindly to Parkin: "Mr. Parkin, I will let Basilio sign an agreement with you!"

"Your Majesty, can I continue to work here?" Parkin asked Jerome Bonaparte nervously.

"Of course! Mr. Parkin!" Jerome Bonaparte replied to Parkin, and then turned to Parkin: "However, Mr. Parkin! I don't think your future lies in artificial quinine. on, but on artificial dyes!

I believe in your talent! "

"Your Majesty, I still want to try it!" Parkin said firmly to Jerome Bonaparte.

Although he knew that he might be better at making a difference in artificial dyes, he was still unwilling to leave the path of artificial quinine.

I think he was sent to Louis Pasteur's laboratory for "further studies" with the idea of ​​treating malaria.

"Yes!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded in agreement with Parkin's request.

Immediately after, Jerome Bonaparte and Louis Pasteur talked for a while, and under the **** of Louis Pasteur, Jerome Bonaparte and others left the Umbrella Institute.

Walking on the road, Virnia curiously asked Jerome Bonaparte why he did business with Parkin's homework? He could obviously grab Aniline Violet from Parkin's hands.

"Virnia, we must respect other scientific research results!" Jerome Bonaparte responded to Virnia, "Blindly stealing is not something a smart person should do!"

"But he works in the institute!" Vernia responded confidently to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Working in the institute can take away all the fruits of others' labor?" Jerome Bonaparte recalled some **** things in his previous life, and laughed angrily, "You have to remember that the most precious thing in the world is Not the research results, but the people who achieved the research results.”

Then, Jerome Bonaparte made a pun: "The most precious thing in the 19th century was people!"

"What's so precious about people!" Vernia responded dismissively: "I think we have too many people now!"

"Not much! Not much! Not much at all!" Jerome Bonaparte shook his head and said, "I wish the current population of France can be equal to that of Russia! If the population continues like this, it will be a little dangerous. !"

"Dangerous? What's the danger! Too many people are really dangerous!" Virnia said to Jerome Bonaparte.

"The danger of few people!"

Jerome Bonaparte recalled France's population of 39.6 million before the First World War, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency in his heart.

If the French population cannot be equalized with the German population, then the German population can only be made equal to the French population.

Only when Germany is completely levelled can the security of the entire France be truly guaranteed.

"When the time comes, you'll know!" Jerome Bonaparte said sternly, then stopped at the door of the Mauser Firearms Manufacturing Company, "Go in!"

After Jerome Bonaparte and Vernia entered the interior of Mauser's company (in fact, it was a larger courtyard), old Mauser and Chasepo appeared in front of Jerome Bonaparte.

"Your Majesty, when did you return to Paris?" Old Mauser asked the same question as Louis Pasteur.

"Just got back!" Jerome Bonaparte responded to the old Mauser, and then asked the old Mauser: "Where is the research progress of the new rifle?"

"Your Majesty, with the unremitting efforts of our team, the new rifle has reached the stage of the first round of testing!" Old Mauser replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

"The Guard is Here"

"So fast!" Jerome Bonaparte looked at the old Mauser with a solemn face, he didn't believe that the old Mauser made the classic rifle so quickly: "Has the rifle been made now! Show me? !"

"Your Majesty, can you wait until the test results come out!" Old Mauser was worried that the bolt-action rifle he had made was not in line with Jerome Bonaparte's wishes.

"Why wait until the test results come out?" Jerome Bonaparte responded to old Mauser, "Where's the rifle? I can't test it myself!"

At the request of Jerome Bonaparte, the old Mauser had to order his son to hand over the rifle that had been made but had not been tested to Jerome Bonaparte.

Judging from the style of the entire rifle, the rifle involved by old Mauser still has a shadow of a Delisser needle gun (no way, the only breech gun that has barely succeeded on the market is the Delisser firing needle). The gun, whether it is the historical Schaepoor rifle or the Mauser 1871 rifle, has more or less been influenced by Deresai)

There are clearly more Mauser elements in the rifle, though.

"Your Majesty, we have improved the firing pin according to your instructions, so that the firing pin can hang up when it is pulled back..." Old Mauser pointed to the Mauser rifle and explained to Jerome Bonaparte word by word road.

After the old Mauser finished his explanation, Jerome Bonaparte responded to the old Mauser: "Mr. Mauser, let's go to the field to actually test it for a while. It's a mule or a horse, and we always have to pull it out for a walk. Take a walk!"

"Yes!" Old Mauser nodded and replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

Afterwards, old Mauser, Xia Saibo, and a group of engineers from Mauser Firearms Factory followed Jerome Bonaparte and others to the shooting range.

"By the way, what is the range of your rifle?" Jerome Bonaparte asked old Mauser.

"This still needs to be tested!" Old Mauser responded embarrassedly, and then added: "However, it must be farther than the range of the Derex rifle!"

"Then..." Jerome Bonaparte thought for a while, then said to old Mauser: "Come 200 meters first, give it a try!"

Jerome Bonaparte stood in front of the target first, then kept retreating backwards. When he was about 200 meters away from the target, Jerome Bonaparte stopped. Take a gun-aiming gesture.

From the point of view of the weight of the gun, the weight of the "Mauser rear-loading gun" is lighter than that of the Dreiser rifle.

(Actually, it was Jerome Bonaparte's illusion. The weight of the entire gun body was only 0.02 kg different from that of Deresai)

"Bullets!" Jerome Bonaparte stretched out his hand and said to the old Mauser beside him.

Old Mauser hurriedly handed Jerome Bonaparte a fixed cartridge wrapped in oiled paper.

Seeing the incomparably huge bullet in his hand, Jerome Bonaparte was taken aback for a moment, and then asked old Mauser why he didn't use brass bullets.

Old Mauser told Jerome Bonaparte that he had already sent someone to get brass bullets, and asked Jerome Bonaparte to use paper shell bullets to test fire first.

Jerome Bonaparte nodded, then turned and pulled back, opened Mauser and loaded the gun (while turning and pulling, Jerome Bonaparte clearly heard the sound of the firing pin being caught by something ), and then stuff the carton cartridge into it.

When Jérôme Bonaparte put the paper-packaged fixed-loading cartridge into it, he discovered that there was still a ring of rubber on the firing pin, which should have been specially added to prevent air leakage.

After all, paper-packed bullets are different from brass bullets, which produce far more smoke than the latter.

Only after smokeless powder and brass bullets are designed, the gap between the rear-loading gun and the front-loading gun will become a sky and an underground.

Jérôme Bonaparte, who had inserted the paper-packed fixed-load cartridge, pulled the breech gun back again, then aimed at the distant target and pulled the trigger.

Hearing the sound of "Boom", there was a slight vibration from Mauser's rear gun, and a large amount of smoke floated out.

At the same time, there was an extra bullet hole in the distant target.
