"No! Father, your design ideas have been wrong from the beginning! Your Majesty, what you need is not an enhanced version of the Dreiser rifle!"

"Paul, what you need now is to learn more from your father's side, not to refute your father here!"

"No! Paul's right! Your Majesty, what is needed is innovation, not for us to continue down Dreiser's path! Oh! Damn, I'm full of **** Dreiser right now!"

"That... Team Leader Anderson, I think Dreiser's design ideas are worthy of our reference, especially the design of the bolt and the pull..."

"Mr. Xia Saibo, I think Dreiser's needle gun is defeated precisely because of the pull of the bolt! Maybe we should change the reference target..."

This was a quarrel in the Rifle Research Institute, and the quarrel grew louder as Jerome Bonaparte approached.

When Jerome Bonaparte stepped over the threshold and entered the Rifle Research Institute into the house, the people in the house seemed to have not noticed Jerome Bonaparte's arrival because of the heated argument.

Until Jerome Bonaparte cleared his throat and coughed twice.

Only then did everyone present realize that someone was coming, and they all looked at the entrance of the institute.

At the entrance of the institute, the figure of Jerome Bonaparte was printed in their eyes.

An inexplicable embarrassment filled the entire institute, and all the firearms engineers in the institute were a little overwhelmed.

Fortunately, the awkward atmosphere didn't last long. Jerome Bonaparte first broke the silence and greeted them: "Good afternoon, everyone! What are you talking about? It's so lively!"

"Your Majesty!" The people who reacted quickly curtly bowed to Jerome Bonaparte to show their respect.

Jerome Bonaparte looked at all the members of the institute in turn, from the senior engineer in his 50s (Anderson Mauser) to the 15-year-old apprentice engineer (William Mauser). .

Among these people, Jérôme Bonaparte is most optimistic about Paul Mauser and Alfonso Chassip. One of them invented the Mauser series of rifles that dominated Germany for more than half a century. A Chasepo rifle that pioneered the French breech gun.

Of course, the 15-year-old William Mauser is also one of the key targets of Jerome Bonaparte's plan.

It can be said that the vast majority of engineers in the institute are talents that Jerome Bonaparte dug from his old father-in-law after giving up his old face and letting his mother-in-law go home.

Jerome Bonaparte walked slowly among them, glanced at the Dreiser needle gun that had been dismantled into pieces on the table and asked Anderson William, "Anderson, are you right now? Debate on the pros and cons of the Dresser?"

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Anderson Mauser, the head of the research institute, responded: "My son (Anderson William suddenly realized that there was no father and son in the institute, and hurriedly changed his words)... No, Paul Mao Ser believes that our existing design ideas have always been limited by the Dreiser needle gun, and we need to further broaden our ideas!"

"Oh?" Jerome Bonaparte turned his eyes to Paul William and encouraged: "Mr. Paul Mauser, what do you think differently?"

Paul Mauser, who was watched and honored by Jerome Bonaparte, was a little nervous. After all, not everyone was fortunate enough to have a conversation with the leader of an empire.

However, since Jerome Bonaparte asked a question, Paul Mauser naturally stuttered for Jerome Bonaparte to summon the courage to answer: "I think the idea of ​​the team leader Anderson is too attached to the rifle itself! This paragraph Time, he has been thinking about how to strengthen the air tightness of the Dreiser rifle!"

"Then where do you think we should start?" Jerome Bonaparte looked at Paul Mauser with interest. Somehow, he felt that the future gun master in front of him could be handed over to him. wanted answer.

"Your Majesty, I don't know if my thinking is correct, but I think the reason for the air leak in Dreiser is not the gun itself! In other words, Mr. Dreiser has done everything he can, We should find the reason from the bullet too much!" After Paul Mauser explained to Jerome Bonaparte, he subconsciously glanced at Jerome Bonaparte's facial expression.

"Very good!" Jerome Bonaparte applauded Paul Mauser, he especially liked engineers with ideas like Paul Mauser, because they can always put their ideas into action: "Since you have The bullet problem was mentioned, so Mr. Paul Mauser, do you have any solution to this problem?"

"Your Majesty, I think the new rifle needs to have a bullet that is exclusive to it like the Mignet rifle. This bullet has better airtightness and is preferably made of metal. When the hammer hits the primer, the Empire can quickly Ignite the propellant, then the propellant expands and shoots the head of the bullet!" Paul Mauser said to Jerome Bonaparte while gesturing in the air with his hands.

After listening to Paul Mauser's explanation, Jerome Bonaparte immediately realized that the special bullet in Paul Mauser's mouth was not the metal fixed-loading bullet in the future. From time travel to now, he didn't even think about the metal fixed-loading bullet once, it really shouldn't be!

Thinking of this, Jerome Bonaparte looked at Paul Mauser with approval, then patted Paul Mauser on the shoulder and said, "You said it very well, I hope you can show some courage to say it in the future. come out!"

The approval of Jerome Bonaparte made Paul Mauser, who was not very confident, regain his confidence. He gathered up the courage and said to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, in fact, I have designed a bullet……"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone present looked at him.

"Paul, what nonsense are you talking about!" Anderson Mauser hurriedly reprimanded Paul Mauser upon seeing this.

The reason why Anderson Mauser reprimanded Paul Mauser was not because he was jealous that his son was more powerful than him, or because he didn't believe in his own son's ability, but because he knew the child's ability too well to protect his son.

Years of work experience in the Royal Arsenal told him never to boast in front of the monarch, otherwise once the monarch's desired goal is not achieved, he will be treated as a liar by the monarch and be neglected, and colleagues around him will automatically reject you for this vain attempt The guy who stepped on their body!

"It's true!" Paul Mauser obviously did not understand his father's "good intentions", he responded hoarsely to Anderson Mauser, and then pleaded with Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, I Please allow me to leave for a moment!"

"Of course!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded and replied to Paul Mauser with a smile.

"Thank you for your kindness!" After protecting. Mauser bowed to Jerome Bonaparte, Xiao ran left the institute.

After about 5 minutes, Paul Mauser reappeared at the entrance of the institute. With one hand drooping on the door frame, he paused for a while at the door, gasping for breath. After he recovered, Paul Mauser Straightening up again, he came to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Your Majesty!" Paul Mauser handed a slightly wrinkled piece of scratch paper to Jerome Bonaparte.

Jerome Bonaparte took the scratch paper and unfolded it. There was only one bullet drawn with a pencil on the scratch paper.

The material, length, radius, diameter of the bullet, as well as the primer, propellant, and warhead inside the bullet are all marked on the year.

From the perspective of length and radius, the metal bullets hand-painted by Paul Mauser and those bullets that Jerome Bonaparte saw on TV in later generations will grow a bit longer, and the circles of threads on the surface of the bullet are obviously imitations Miguel's masterpiece.

"Your Majesty, this is the bullet I designed!" Paul Mauser raised his chest and proudly introduced to Jerome Bonaparte: "The shell of the bullet is made of brass, and the hammer hits the primer from the tail and ignites it. Propellant, after the propellant gives energy to the warhead, the warhead launches!"

"It looks pretty good!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded to Paul Mauser, and then turned to ask: "But how do you take out the cartridge case stuck inside the rifle?"

"This..." Paul Mauser immediately fell into contemplation. He didn't seem to realize that the cartridge case was taken out: "I haven't thought about this yet!"

"It's very good that you can think of this step!" Jerome Bonaparte once again encouraged Paul Mauser, "How to make the bullet you designed to be successfully shelled is your next goal!"

"Your Majesty~www.novelhall.com~ Can I continue to follow this line of thinking?" Paul Mauser asked in a trembling voice.

"Of course!" Jerome Bonaparte responded decisively to Paul Mauser.

Afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte glanced at the surrounding researchers and said loudly: "You all listen to me! I can tolerate your failures countless times, because scientific research is originally accompanied by countless failures before it can be achieved. To achieve the ultimate success, but each of you must conduct a deep analysis of each failure, so as to find the reason for the failure! You can't blindly conduct experiments, blind experiments will only waste time for no reason! As for you..."

Jerome Bonaparte pointed at Paul Mauser and said, "Your design ideas are worth learning, so I decided to reward you with 5,000 francs as an encouragement!"

"Ah?!" Paul Mauser, who heard the reward, showed a surprised expression. He never thought that he would receive such a generous reward.

You know, 5,000 francs is equivalent to two and a half years' wages when he was at the Royal Arsenal in Obendon.

(The current annual salary of Paul Mauser is about 3,500 francs, including food and lodging.)
