Chapter 537： 537: Bullet Currency

In the first exhibition hall where Aslan visited, there were spears and daggers, and he saw a black line.

In the exhibition of a group of magicians, the weapons and equipment of various melee professions are displayed. How cute?

As soon as Aslan entered, two young female magicians rushed up and introduced them to Aslan enthusiastically.

It turned out that these weapons and equipment were all using new enchanting technology, but in Aslan's eyes, they could only be considered acceptable.

The same is the enchanting technology, but it is much more complicated than the Merlot combination enchanting, and the requirements for the enchanting magician are too high to be mass-produced.

"Unbearable, can only be used as a handicraft." Aslan curled his lips and came out of the exhibition hall.

The two female magicians lowered their heads helplessly, it seems that this time the teacher is going to lose everything.

"Agatha, we will work hard together, and we will definitely be able to sell these enchanted equipment." Another green-haired woman cheered on her partner next to her.

"Mirialea, I know, let's cheer together."

"Okay! Come on together."

Aslan visited a few more exhibition halls. They were all good magical inventions, but most of them were unusable. Simply put, they were unpopular inventions. Some of the good technologies were written down by Aslan and bought a batch of them by the way. Throwing messy things into the space.

This is Aslan’s attitude as a human being. No matter what you do, you can’t use prostitution for nothing. It’s immoral to analyze the materials and techniques of things and pat their buttocks to leave.

Therefore, Aslan would be very polite to buy one or two back, and it would be better to study.

Wandering around Aslan, I came to the exhibition hall of the Maxim Empire.

The Maxim Empire showed a few things this time, but everything attracted the attention of others.

Just like Melox's timeout, it contained mainly guns and ammunition, but the main thing placed there was a spear stick, which was a magical creation. But here are mechanical artifacts, revolvers and revolver rifles, of course, there are also single-shot breech guns, that is, the kind of shot that pulls the bolt, loads a bullet and then hits that kind.

It is the predecessor of the World War II rifle.

But anyway, they are advanced in this era.

Aslan experimented with all the guns, and really liked the single-shot breech rifle. The accuracy was extremely high, not much worse than the G43 gun rod.

The key is the price, which is much cheaper than the gun rod, even cheaper than the knight armor.

A revolver rifle less than three gold coins, a single breech rifle five gold coins, in the eyes of outsiders, this is almost a free gift, but in the eyes of Aslan, this is the proof of the industrialization of the Maxim Empire.

This rifle looks simple in craftsmanship, but it has very high requirements for steel. If it is built on the old mainland technology, the price is only high and not low, and then the rifling.

Rifling, also known as rifle. Because its cross-sectional shape is similar to a windmill, it is also called a windmill line. Rifling can be said to be the soul of the barrel. The function of rifling is to give the warhead the ability to rotate, so that the warhead can maintain its predetermined direction after it is out of the barrel.

Although there is a record of the use of rifling in the 15th century on the earth, it was not popularized until the 19th century due to the difficulty of the manufacturing process. It took four hundred years to show the difficulty of mass production of the rifling process.

The reason for the low price of revolver rifles is that the barrel is not rifled.

In the end, Aslan also fully understood the plan of the Maxim Empire. The guns and bullets were indeed planned to be sold. The price of the gun was a bit high in Aslan’s eyes. If you rely on the industrial strength of Merlot, revolver rifles. The price should be controlled at about one gold coin. If there is a complete production line, the cost can be reduced at once.

But the price of bullets in the Maxim Empire is a bit disgusting.

Rifle bullets consist of 100 4 gold coins, which is equivalent to 2 silver coins and one bullet, and pistol bullets are 100 gold coins.

Of course, if you buy it with Mark coins, the price will be half cheaper, that is, you can buy 100 rifle ammunition for four Mark coins, so the price is simply cheap for the nobles to play as a toy.

But for a large-scale war, one hundred thousand revolver riflemen, each with 50 rounds of ammunition, not to mention other equipment on the body, the rifle and bullets alone would cost half a million gold coins.

This is still the initial equipment. After a battle, if the fifty rounds are finished, it means that there will be an additional expenditure of 200,000 gold coins to supplement ammunition.

Selling guns can only be regarded as a small business, the real big head is bullets.

Aslan knew very well that when countries were unable to crack the smokeless flame formula, they could only be forced to buy bullets from the Maxim Empire. As for whether it would work if they didn't buy it, of course they couldn't.

If the enemy country is equipped with rifles, and your country still relies on human lives to pile up, can you beat an enemy country equipped with a rifle?

This will fall into an endless loop.

On the one hand, the Maxim empire was attacking cities, and on the other hand, it made a fortune in the war. Some people might think that the Maxim empire sold rifles and what would happen if the enemy came back in the future?

The Maxim Empire just wanted to kill some soldiers. For the current continent, the least valuable thing is human life.

The Maksim Empire played very beautifully. On the one hand, the price of the Mark coin is linked to the price of the bullet. As the scale of the war expands, the exchange rate of the Mark coin will become stronger, and at the same time, it can unite all countries that may become allies with itself. , The invisibly expanded scale of the war alliance.

When Aslan understood all this, he subconsciously rubbed his temples.

The Maxim empire was too poisonous to play.

It seems simple to break the game, but it will add great danger. The Maxim Empire will never allow the emergence of smokeless gunpowder. They will do their best to combat any forces that develop smokeless gunpowder.

Aslan's eyes lit up suddenly, and he thought of a very crazy method. If it succeeds, it can definitely attack the high-end combat power of the Maxim Empire.

Once the plan is successful, the Maxim empire will completely lose its feasibility if it wants to execute the beheading operation. The most impressive thing about the Maxim empire is its wealth and high-end combat power. It is no exaggeration that the only one that can compete with The power to challenge the city of magic is the Maxim empire.

There may not be as many Great Mages as the Magic City, but with the number of Great Swordsman Instructors and Great Knight Instructors, the Magic City will definitely be completely explosive.

"Marquis Aslan, it seems that you are very interested in a new weapon like the musket!" Kira said with a smile when he appeared next to Aslan.

Aslan packed up the rifles and bullets he fancyed, and packed them up with Mark coins.
