In fact, the Enfield iii rifle was sent to Li Shaojie early in the morning to make these recruits familiar with the basic structure of this military rifle and learn daily maintenance procedures. Even Li Shaojie himself was just trying to maintain this rifle slowly. Although he had touched the Enfield rifle before, those were used goods with old styles and poor models. A bunch of rifles with almost smoothed rifles, which could be compared with the brand new guns he is holding now.

With Zhong Yang's acquiescence, Li Shaojie personally conducted a test firing and confirmed that this Enfield iii rifle deserves its reputation. Before the semi-automatic rifle was fully assembled, the Enfield rifle was the best choice. Its shooting accurately, reliable performance, rapid firepower and easy operation are all excellent attributes for actual combat inspection.

The effective range of 305 meters is acceptable. Anyway, recruits who lack relevant shooting training cannot effectively shoot targets 200 meters away, and a range of 300 meters is definitely enough. The key is that the Enfield rifle is reliable and easy to operate, and does not require too complicated operation and professional knowledge. Even Chinese soldiers with high illiteracy rates during this period can play. Combined with the fastest firing rate among manual bolt-pull rifles, the Enfield rifle firmly occupies the throne of the main force before the emergence of individual rapid-fire weapons, and it can be seen frequently even in World War II.

The rifle that Zhong Yang got from Smith is a standard English-style rifle. The standard configuration of 10 round double-row magazines is detachable, and the magazine is stuck in the trigger guard ring. However, the purpose of this design is only to facilitate maintenance or replacement when damaged. The magazine is not disassembled during use, and each rifle is only equipped with one magazine. The bullet is filled in by the magazine one by one through the shell port on the top of the receiver.

Although Zhong Yang, who had seen a semi-automatic rifle in later generations, did not know the specific technical details, he at least knew that changing the magazine was much faster than manually loading bullets. However, in this time and space, due to the limitation of production capacity, there was no need to use removable magazines to increase the loading speed. In fact, the officers were worried that the continuous-firing rifle would fire too quickly, and soldiers would desperately fire at a long distance and waste bullets. Therefore, the continuous-firing rifles in various countries were often equipped with a device called "magazine partitioner".

The Enfield rifle also has a similar device, inserting it from the right side of the receiver, so that it is impossible to supply ammunition from the magazine. After each shot by the soldier, he must take out another ammunition bag on his body to reload, which can reduce the rate of fire and save the bullets. When the battle is fierce, he will take it out and load it with a magazine. The "magazine partition" has proved that it does not meet the needs of actual combat, but that was during World War II, and the British have not noticed this yet.

Fortunately, Zhong Yang happened to notice this detail. More than 10,000 original Enfield rifles have been produced. Zhong Yang intends to secretly resell them or give them to Chen Jiongming. Anyway, he does not intend to use such backward things for his own people.

At Zhong Yang's request, the chief officer modified the Enfield rifle. The device of the "magazine partition" composed of a partition magazine and the magazine insertion plate was cancelled, and the magazine was also changed to two magazines that were put together, which could hold a total of twenty bullets and could be replaced quickly during combat, replacing the original bullet filling.

For Zhong Yang, the production of bullets is not a big problem at all. Instead of saving ammunition, it is better to save more important human resources. Zhong Yang is taking the elite military route, and he firmly believes that the cannon fodder route has no future.

Zhong Yang has now temporarily entrusted Li Shaojie to deal with the military training. After all, the other party is professional, and Zhong Yang is just giving some bad ideas next to him. Even if he is just a village corps that needs to be put on the table and act, Zhong Yang doesn't want them to perform too badly.

In mid-July, Chen Ze joined the line with the French in Vietnam through the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce, and the procurement of iron ore also completed preliminary exchanges of cooperation intentions. In early August, the first batch of mineral resources from French North Vietnam were transported to Guangzhou City and delivered to Zhong Yang through the goods channel of the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce.

Duan Yitian, who had a bad idea about the 8 million silver dollar, completely stopped after taking over the soda ash production process from Chen Ze. He is not a fool. As the president of a large chamber of commerce, he naturally knows the huge benefits of soda ash production. Seeing that Chen Ze came up with these technologies in a variety of ways, Duan Yitian also understood that killing chickens and retrieving eggs is a very unprofitable thing. He has begun to plan to cooperate with Chen Ze for a long time. Opening a factory is a more profitable choice than reselling production raw materials.

In Zhong Yang's view, according to the tips of Yi Zhongming, who has professional knowledge in chemical industry, the production and sales of soda ash are far from saturated. Even if this technology is transferred to the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce, it will not lead to vicious competition. Instead, this action can be used to narrow the distance with Duan Yitian and others, which will help the two sides to carry out closer cooperation. Of course, for the soda ash production process and a complete set of machines, the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce must pay a large price to buy.

The other party proposed to jointly invest and establish a joint stock company. Zhong Yang also thought that this choice was good, as the saying goes, it was easy to enjoy the cool air under the big tree. However, Zhong Yang asked Chen Ze to serve as the shareholder, and as for himself, he chose to hide behind the back and command. Not long after, after the cigarette production factory opened by Duan Yitian, a new joint venture company, "Xiguan Industrial Co., Ltd.", appeared under the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce. The new factory was located around Xiguan. The entire company was huge in scale, but the specific business projects were still unclear, which attracted the attention of many upper-level people. People in Guangzhou were also discussing this matter, and this kind of topic was everywhere in teahouses and taverns.

Compared with the lively atmosphere in Guangzhou City, the construction of Tangwei Village is much more low-key. After Chen Ze and Yi Zhongming gained the recognition of Zhong Yang, they registered a company with the Guangzhou Military Government. The legal representatives are Chen Ze and Yi Zhongming. The company's name is "Tianyu Technology", and their main business is to provide technical support to other companies and enterprises. The first business after the establishment of "Tianyu Technology" was to help the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce establish a complete soda ash production process. The deposit paid by the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce in the early stage was 3.72 million silver dollars. After the project was completed, 13% of the shares of the factory will be transferred to the name of "Tianyu Technology".

It is now mid-August, and Zhong Yang, who has obtained a large amount of mineral resources, has also reached the authority level 13 after crazy construction. The land area of ​​the sub-space has also doubled from the original 40,000 square meters to 80,000 square meters, which has fully expanded.

In the sub-space, the smart factory was originally just a lonely factory building, but now it has become a building cluster. The structure of steel and cement has been replaced by metal-like materials, and the interior decoration and layout have also undergone earth-shaping changes. Thanks to the powerful functions of construction machinery servants for construction, they can quickly and effectively complete various engineering construction with materials with sufficient materials and energy.

In the past, the subspace was only 40,000 square meters, while the main body of the smart factory occupied 14,000 square meters. The rest were empty spaces, and the outer periphery was an exclusion position formed by fog, which could not be entered at all. However, now the subspace has 80,000 square meters of construction land. The center is a factory building covering an area of ​​20,000 square meters, with a total of ten floors. The metal-like wall structure adopts the simplified design concept of the industrial era. The two ends are prominent regular octagonal mechanisms, which are connected by the rectangular factory body in the middle.

Zhong Yang doesn't have much time to observe the current internal situation of the entire factory. He is now busy developing new buildings. The new functions brought by Level 13 permissions are really a bit more complicated than the two functions previously suggested by the head official.

The energy control center composed of primary energy concentrators replaces the primary energy concentrators that were originally scattered in various parts of the factory. The entire energy control center is filled with a large number of metal honeycomb structures, and a primary energy concentrator is placed in each acupoint. Because it is a linkage device, it can artificially create a higher energy potential difference, making the collection speed of the labeled energy twice that of the past. The establishment of the energy control center greatly makes up for the energy gap faced by Zhong Yang. Under the assimilation of 120 primary energy concentrators, Zhong Yang can now obtain 1,200 base value labeled energy per hour!

Of course, among these 1200 base energy, 400 are used to maintain the operation of the entire smart factory, and only 800 base values ​​can be stored. However, this amount is already extremely powerful compared to the past.

In addition, there are two new construction units in the smart factory, namely the Machinery Service Manufacturing Center and the Arsenal. The Machinery Service Manufacturing Center can produce the Machinery Service Manufacturing Type I and the More Advanced Machinery Service Manufacturing Type I. The Arsenal can now only produce the general purpose Land Warrior I, a powerful mechanical unit dedicated to combat.

Zhong Yang has not yet figured out the new plan for the entire factory, and it will take some time to make a decision on the overall new layout. However, the finalization and production of mechanical servants and land soldiers must be started immediately.

Like the arsenal, the Mechanical Service Manufacturing Center covers an area of ​​500 square meters and has a total of 5 floors. The entire factory is composed of alloys. There is a production workshop and a main control room. The manufacturing of Mechanical Service and Land Warriors is carried out in the workshop, but their design and shaping are completed in the main control room.

After a detailed understanding, Zhong Yang realized that the design and shaping of these mechanical units can be redesigned to a certain extent according to the needs of the user. As for the previous thirty mechanical servants, they are all trial items and may not be able to fully meet all the needs of Zhong Yang.

Now, Zhong Yang stayed excitedly in the main control room of the arsenal, discussing his requirements for various specific parameters of general-purpose land soldiers: it is best to be used openly in public, with reliable protective performance, and reasonable use of various existing individual weapons.

The arsenal can only produce fixed-type land soldiers, but cannot develop and manufacture weapons on its own. Zhong Yang can only hope that these land soldiers can use human individual weapons. This also requires that their appearance must be similar to that of humans, so that they can be used as bodyguards.

Under Zhong Yang's language description, the chief officer used the data system in the arsenal to establish the basic module of the standard i-type of the land soldier. According to Zhong Yang's requirements, the metal shell design was abolished and replaced with artificial tendons woven by polymer polymer fibers. The bones are alloys with strong properties, and the internal braking structure is also simplified as much as possible to adapt to the appearance design needs of the human-type module.

The information processing system and energy core device of the land soldier are installed together in the chest cavity, and the socket for replacing the standard micro battery is also embedded there. The appearance looks like a regular octagon with a blue arc. The skin is a gum with a bronze luster, and is bright and shiny. The head is a collection of video recording devices and information recognition devices. Under the protection of a hard alloy skull, these precision instruments have a reliable working environment.

After seeing the virtual images released by the system, you can learn about the physical appearance of the Land Soldier. From the outside, he looks like a strong man with a height of 1.8 meters, tall and burly figure, but not bloated, but shows ability and strength. As long as he wears human clothes and does not observe carefully from close range, it is difficult to find the non-human characteristics of the Land Soldier. The only thing that Zhong Yang is dissatisfied is that his facial design is too distorted and his hair is not made, which makes it easy for people to find some clues. In order to solve this problem, Zhong Yang had to equip them with sunglasses and felt hats to cover up the details.

After the land soldier was established, the specific production cost data were quickly counted. The manufacturing of each land soldier requires 1,300 standard energy and a total of 2 units of various physical resources. The standard weight of the land soldier in an unequipped state is 400 kilograms, and the intelligence level is equivalent to that of a six-year-old human child. Whether it is the epidermis or tendons, they are made of polymer polymer materials, and their defense performance is absolutely reliable. Even when facing close-range shooting of heavy machine guns, they can be completely ignored. The bullets shot will be bombarded by polymer polymer fibers.

The only threat that can pose is the direct strike of artillery above 105 mm caliber or strong oscillation fluctuations. Both of these situations will be due to the strong kinetic energy exceeding the defense limit of the land soldiers, which will seriously damage the internal structure of the land soldiers and lose its function.

The output of general-purpose land soldiers is OK. There are now 4 related production lines in the production workshop of the arsenal, and the production capacity of each production line is to produce one unit in 4 days. However, due to the huge energy consumption, Zhong Yang does not have enough energy to allow him to squander arbitrarily, so he can only create eight land soldiers to come out to respond to the emergency first.
