Doomsday Code

Chapter 288: Compilation of a textbook on firearms tactics

After listening to Chen Cheng's explanation, Huidun was not as excited as the fat man before.

On the contrary, he looked a little sad.

"This thing is good, but the safety hazard is also of paramount importance. If it is mass-produced, if one is not careful, it will cause irreparable consequences."

What Huidun is considering now is to admit defeat before success. Although this is a bit discouraging, it is also something a decision maker must consider.

Although the fat man was selling Chen Cheng so happily before, making him seem very reluctant, he had actually already thought about how much money he could make from this.

"My Lord Earl, I have produced more than ten tons and there have been no problems. I think as long as we are careful, there shouldn't be any big problems."

However, before Huidun could speak, Chen Cheng sprayed the little fat man with a mouthful:

"Little Fatty, you make it sound easy, but if there's no problem, it's because you've been watching over it day and night.

If this is to be mass-produced in the future, can you handle it alone?

Especially with nitroglycerin, if you are not careful enough, it will be the end of you.”

Seeing that Chen Cheng was trying hard to sabotage him, the fat guy was so angry that he almost wanted to fight him again.

However, Chen Cheng continued as if he hadn’t seen it:

“However, no matter how dangerous it is, the Earl’s new army still needs to be equipped with these firearms.

Although the production of this explosive is very dangerous, accidents are not unavoidable.

I asked Acasto to write a work production report for me first, and I will take it back to study it, improve the production process, and try to achieve zero accidents.

At the same time, the Earl's Mansion can also issue a recruitment task to the Adventurer's Guild, recruiting magicians to participate in the transportation of raw materials for the production of explosives.

At the same time, we can send someone to the production room to supervise and immediately stop production if we find any signs of trouble.”

Chen Cheng quickly came up with a feasible solution.

While deep in thought, Huidun looked at Chen Cheng, then looked at Xiao Dun and the others and said:

"What do you think of Brown's proposal?"

There was no need to think too much about it, as everyone present could tell that Huidun was moved.

In Chen Cheng's description of thermal weapons, they are all considered magical weapons. Even the muskets with a killing range of hundreds of meters can only be matched by the magic-breaking arrows of the most elite army.

However, the cost of a magic-breaking arrow is as high as one gold piece, while the cost of a musket will not exceed fifty silver coins.

There is also a cannon with a range of several thousand meters, and one shell can blow up a pit. This is simply a silver-level fireball magic.

How could Huidun not be tempted by these things?

As a ruler, Huidun, who did not want to be a warlord, quickly realized that the production of gunpowder that fueled these firearms was very dangerous, so he had those concerns.

Now that Chen Cheng has come up with a solution, he is naturally very happy.

Seeing Xiao Dun and the others nodded to show that they had no objection, Hui Dun also breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"That's it. Let Acasto produce the explosives. You already have experience. I believe that with Chen Cheng's guidance, your factory will not let me down."

Huidun patted the fat boy on the shoulder.

Then he talked about the making of firearms.

"As for the manufacture of this firearm, I think we should give it to the steel mill. The steel they produce can be transformed into a firearm production machine tool using the stamping machine to produce firearms."

Although the fat man, who was a profiteer by nature, wanted to compete for the production of firearms, Huidun was right.

Chen Cheng originally intended to use this newly built steel plant to produce weapons. It previously produced cold weapons, but now it can be transformed into the production of firearms.

"That's a good arrangement. I'll send the blueprints over in a few days, and then teach those people how to modify the machine tools."

Chen Cheng also nodded at this time.

"Okay, let's make this arrangement. From now on, the safety and defense of this factory will have to rely on Xiao Dun and your brothers."

Finally, Huidun patted Xiao Dun on the shoulder.

Xiao Dun blinked and said:

"Leave the protection to us, it's no problem. But can our guards be equipped with the firearms first?"

Xiao Dun was not stupid either. Having grown up in a military camp with his father for many years, he quickly figured out the changes that firearms had brought to war. Naturally, he was very interested in the firearms that Chen Cheng mentioned.

Huidun smiled and said:

"At present, the troops under my command have not yet been formed, so these newly produced weapons are naturally for you to equip."

At this time, Chen Cheng also interrupted and said:

"How about this, from now on, you, Earl Xiaoton, and your Knight Guards will be the experimental troops for the latest weapons produced by the Earl.

Not only do you have to learn how to use new weapons, but you also have to summarize their shortcomings and write a set of combat plans suitable for them.

The plan you wrote can be used directly as teaching material for the Earl's new army in the future."

Chen Cheng was also thinking about the process of the country's research and development of new weapons and equipping the troops in the previous life. Although the latest batch of hot weapons he got were at the level of World War I and World War II, he also understood the tactics.

But if they rely on themselves alone, they won't be able to go far. Moreover, this is a magical world, and the combat methods they knew in their previous lives may not be suitable for this world.

Only if they study new tactics realistically can they truly realize the impact of new weapons on their combat effectiveness.

After hearing this, Huidun nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Brown is right. From now on, all experiments and tactics of new weapons will be handed over to you."

At this moment, Xiao Dun was extremely excited.

He knew that the emergence of new weapons could change the situation of the war, but he did not expect that the first step of this change would come from within his team.

It was a great honor for him to think that people hundreds of years later would mention him and his team when talking about firearms warfare.

Xiao Dun held Chen Cheng's hand with a trembling hand and said excitedly:

"Thank you, thank you so much."

Chen Cheng simply couldn't understand why Xiao Dun was so excited. This was because he had long lived in an age of guns and cannons.

Napoleon's miraculous use of cannons and the earliest all-firearms unit established in the Ming Dynasty were all well known to him, so he did not have any deep feelings about them.

However, Huidun and the Fatty knew very well how important and great it was for Xiaodun and his team to give them the task of teaching them the latest use of firearms and compiling combat teaching materials.

Although Chen Cheng didn't know why Xiao Dun was so excited, he knew that Xiao Dun would not have time to harass Isabel for a long time in the future.

I have unknowingly solved a headache for Isabel. I wonder if she will thank me.

At this time, Chen Cheng also laughed as he was thinking about it.
