Hearing the technician's words, Chen Xin and the eyes of the person in charge of the ordnance factory lit up at the same time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"It doesn't matter if there is no physical display, the mechanical structure you designed yourself should be very impressive, right?"

"Yes, your majesty, this kind of inspiration is constantly echoing in my mind, and after I finish the scheduled work every day, I will improve the things in my mind at home, so this impression is very impressive."

"So, how's your level of drawing?"

The young technician smiled modestly, and the person in charge of the ordnance factory stood up at this time and explained, "His drawing level is ranked among the best in the whole factory, and it is because of his ability that our factory decided to let him be responsible for the design of civilian rifles." ”

Chen Xin nodded with satisfaction, and ordered the head maid, "Take the drawings and tools." ”

Then he said to the young technician, "Draw a concept map of your design, and we'll see if it's possible." ”

"Yes." The technician said yes, and then drew on the side.

Concept drawings are not detailed design drawings, as long as they can roughly indicate the design intent, if you have a mature idea, it does not take too much time.

Chen Xin ordered Lao Bai to start the scanning capability, and at the same time turn on the supercomputer computing power to the maximum extent, verify the structural drawings drawn by the technician, and see if it is feasible.

When the technician's drawings were almost finished, Chen Xin looked at it and felt very familiar.

The firing structure he designed was not much different from the mainstream rifles of the kingdom today.

Since the kingdom does not yet have the ability to manufacture primers in large quantities, the firing structure is still the old flintlock style.

The overall bolt structure is also very simple, with a hinge above the back of the bolt and a lever support below the bolt, which extends to the bottom of the trigger guard.

When the shooter pulls down the bow lever, the bolt loses its lower support, and the gravity naturally drops, exposing the chamber for the shooter to unshell and reload.

Pull back the lever and the bolt rises, completing the locking.

After a long time, Chen Xincai recalled, isn't this the lever-type receiver that people basically know a little bit about queuing up to shoot military houses, black powder weapon technology houses, western cowboy culture lovers, and so on?

Although it is not yet a mature model, the design concept is exactly the same.

No, it can't be called leverage, because this set of mechanisms does not have the ability of continuous automatic chargebacks and reloading like the lever structure.

This is only an early application of the lever type, and it seems that it is more used on the locking mechanism on the gun, and it should be called the descending locking mechanism.

Chen Xin vaguely remembered that among the large number of guns that used this principle, the most famous was the British Martini-Henry single-shot rifle, which was also a relatively famous firearm.

Chen Xin also roughly remembers that the Martini-Henry single-shot rifle seems to have been designed as a firearm in the 19th century.

"What a genius." Chen Xin changed the order with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Lao Bai, there is no need to verify the feasibility, under the current maximum energy consumption, let your computing power run at full capacity, and improve this design." ”

"Yes, master, do as you command."

Just when Chen Xin was very excited and ready to do a big job, the manager interrupted his YY at the right time.

"Your Excellency, the time for the cabinet meeting is almost up, do you need to postpone this meeting?"

Chen Xin finally got rid of the fanatical emotion of otaku encountering something he loved.

Chen Xin believes in the principle of non-humiliation between monarchs and ministers, and there is nothing in front of him that takes precedence over cabinet meetings.

Then, we must not cancel the cabinet meeting that has been scheduled a long time ago because of our little hobby.

So Chen Xin said without hesitation, "No, the meeting cannot be postponed. ”

Then he said to the two people in the armory, "Get here today, you go back, and get ready to produce new rifles."

As for this design drawing, I still have some ideas, and we will discuss them together in our spare time. ”

"Yes." The two men bowed and saluted, then left.

Cabinet meetings are not held every day.

According to the plan, it is generally held once every ten years, and Chen Xin will check the completion of all the work arranged in the previous ten years.

After that, we will discuss with the cabinet ministers the outline of the work for the next ten years.

And now, in this period when the kingdom was first established and the Military Management Commission was slowly changing into a cabinet, Chen Xinhe and the cabinet had the most important item on the agenda, that is, the formation and improvement of various departments.

・・・・・・

The last cabinet meeting, by or large, preliminarily concluded the formation of the Ministry of Commerce.

Next, Chen Xin fell into the preparation of the rest of the department.

The Ministry of Finance's statistics, budget, and other departments are also relatively easy to establish.

Because the area of the kingdom is small now, the population is even smaller, and the autumn harvest has been completed during the previous period of the Military Management Committee, so the tax work is relatively easy for the time being, and there is time for them to slowly run in.

The customs department, which is part of the Ministry of Finance, has recently been the top priority of the Ministry of Finance, and trade with the Spaniards has begun, and the volume of transactions is gradually increasing.

It is very urgent to form the gateway of the country.

This department is not only responsible for collecting taxes on import and export trade, inspecting smuggling, etc., but also paying attention to restricting the export of new and high technology within the kingdom.

For example, steam engines, generators, high-tech machine tools and equipment, as well as various high-tech products that are only supplied for domestic use, are now not allowed to be resold by private individuals at will, and they are also strictly prohibited from exporting.

The ban on exports sounds like a lot of power.

However, if there is no corresponding and effective system and agency for inspection, arrest and punishment, it is just a piece of paper.

Therefore, the customs has a heavy responsibility and needs to quickly deploy elite forces for construction.

Listening to Chen Xin's arrangements for customs work, a cabinet minister asked, "Your Excellency, does the customs also need to form an army?" ”

All the ministers set their eyes on Chen Xin, and they were also very concerned about this issue.

Chen Xin knows that military power, no matter in any department, is a sensitive topic, and it is natural for everyone to pay attention to it.

"Customs needs anti-smuggling and inspection, and naturally it needs to have armed forces, but it cannot be called an army. I am going to split part of the Coast Guard command and hand it over to Customs. ”

"However, Your Majesty, the Ministry of Finance is already in charge of the financial power of the whole country, and if you add a strong armed force to the Ministry of Finance, it will be harmful to the balance of state power."
