Today, the model of riding rifle has been determined. The first riding rifle in the research institute is actually not far away, but only fifty to one hundred steps. The accuracy is average compared to the rifle. However, compared with the Mongolian bow and arrow in front of you, it still has an overwhelming advantage. After all, in terms of accuracy and range, although the Mongolian bow can reach a distance of 150 meters, the effective range is probably less than half. In addition, in terms of shooting accuracy, it is obviously impossible to ride with riding.

The gun is comparable, but the one who really crushes the bow and arrow is the rate of fire of the riding gun. As long as you want, the riding gun can fire six bullets within one minute and reload them in the next two minutes. The rate of fire of the bow and arrow is obviously not even 30% of the riding gun, especially in small-scale battles, six bullets can handle a short battle, which means that when the Mongols shoot an arrow, the person who uses the riding gun has already fired six times.

Of course, the greater advantage is that a Mongolian archer needs decades of training, and at least several years to master the skills of bows and arrows thoroughly and skillfully. This not only tests arm strength, but also tests experience. However, while riding a rifle is light, anyone can easily get started, and even a good physique person can easily get started after getting a rifle and play for a few days.

The first rifle was obviously a result of the limitations of yield and manufacturing cost. Its structure is extremely simple, with only seven or eight parts. The manufacturing process of the rotor is a little difficult, but with the current level of metallurgy and molds of Zhenguo Mansion, it is not difficult.

Sun Qi also came here to see the final plan today. He was also quite interested in riding a rifle because it was the first civilian weapon used by Zhenguo Mansion. In the past, the military weapon stations in Zhenguo Mansion were almost all profitable. On the one hand, due to the number of people of Zhenguo New Army, they could only be produced on a small scale. On the other hand, because the target of Zhenguo New Army was equipped with Zhenguo New Army, they could only be used by their own family, so they basically paid money to feed the craftsmen of these military weapon stations.

This situation was only improved after the establishment of a new army in Japan, because some rifles were exported and finally subsidized some shortcomings, but when it comes to profit, it is still a bit far away.

Until this rifle came out, although he had only a preliminary understanding of this rifle, Sun Qi, who was already very sensitive to business, immediately realized that the military weapon station could make money by relying on this.

As a successful businessman, Sun Qi naturally has a calculation in his heart.

If the cost is enough to reach a price of three taels of silver, but the price of selling is around nine taels of silver. The most important thing is that the price of bullets is not expensive, and every ten cents is the appearance of less. However, as long as you use a rifle, such consumption must continue. As long as the skill of producing bullets is always in the hands of Zhenguo Mansion, it means that there is a steady stream of silver being recorded.

If all the shepherds, or those who are walking outside the pass and doing business, everyone will make one, what a business opportunity would it be?

Sun Qi doesn't know much about guns, but he cares a lot about the advantages of riding a gun and bows, because for merchants, the best sales method is not about the thing. He has no interest in understanding this, but what he really cares about is how to use to convince his potential customers to buy this kind of product.

So when Ye Chunqiu was enthusiastically trying the gun, Sun Qi asked the research staff carefully.

"No, no, no, what I want to know is not this. I don't understand these data, so you might as well tell me bluntly. If our shepherd is matched with this and encounters a well-trained Mongolian rider, what will happen? Can you protect yourself? Tell the truth."

"The students don't know what this... is specific," said the technical backbone of the Military Arts Institute in embarrassingly: "However, the chance of victory is probably not small. Now on this grassland, as long as the opponent is a shooter or a knife, six bullets are fired continuously, it is enough to kill the opponent. Of course, it is only the experimental data now. I can't guarantee the specificity, but according to the student's estimate, the chance of victory will be more than 70% or 80%. If you are a skilled gunman, the chance of victory will be higher."

Sun Qi finally felt relieved, and couldn't help but smile a little satisfied, saying, "Then, you can start preparing for mold production now. This is easy to leave to China Merchants Group. But now it's time to start promotion. I was going to go back to the capital these days, and the capital Merchants Group has a lot of things, but now it seems that this gun is very promising. It's not sure that it's another crystal workshop."

As he was talking, Ye Chunqiu had already returned from a trial shot.

Ye Chunqiu was quite satisfied with the effect of riding a rifle. When he was outside the tent, he just heard the technical backbone words, so he went in and said, "I think the sales will be higher than this, and even if he encounters a Mongolian rider, he should be able to win more than 90%."

After hearing this, Sun Qi couldn't help but see a bright light in his eyes, and he suddenly became interested and said, "How can you see this in Spring and Autumn?"

Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but smile and said, "You guys only think that people can only install a rifle. This rifle is light. Have you ever thought that many people will need to install a double gun in the future? The double guns will fill in bullets first. Once a special situation occurs, they can take turns to shoot. In this way, they will fire twelve bullets in a row. The rifle is simple in structure and not high cost. The shepherds' salaries are not low. Once the rifle becomes popular, I am afraid that many people will be willing to install a double gun in the future."

Sun Qi's eyes lit up, his voice was a little excited, and he said, "In this way, I'm still considering the sales of this rifle? Yes, it's right. This rifle is very flexible and doesn't take much effort to insert it on the waist. It's equipped with a double gun, haha..."

Ye Chunqiu sometimes felt that his uncle was becoming more and more philanthropic, but after careful consideration, he was a complete businessman, and what he considered was naturally cost and sales, and how much profit he could make. As for the emergence of a rifle, it would have a great impact on the grassland, but this businessman was not the one who cared about the most.

Ye Chunqiu's position is obviously completely different. As the lord of Zhenyuan Kingdom, outside Shizhenguan, he is very clear about what this will mean.
