Pirate: It’s not a phantom beast, it’s a phantom god!

Chapter 171 Revolver

Chapter 171 Revolver
After a series of clichéd processes, Baishou’s first weapons factory was finally successfully completed, but it did not start operation immediately as expected.

On the one hand, those special employees who are recruited again need to learn how to operate the machines and other work processes under the guidance of professional technicians.

After all, they are either missing arms or legs, and it takes two or three people working together to barely constitute a complete labor force.

Of course, their salary is only a fraction of that of normal people.

After all, this is still a pirate group, not a charity, let alone a nursing home.

However, for these people, the free three meals a day provided by the factory are actually enough and much better than begging outside.

On the other hand, in a small building with a high-tech appearance on the side of the factory, Ou Bei was discussing the first type of weapons for Baishou with the weapons experts and engineers recruited from the South China Sea.

"Obe...Miss, is this your design?"

A researcher wearing circle glasses and a mustache said as he looked at the drawings in his hands.

"It's not really mine, it's just someone else's idea copied down."

"Oh~"

The researcher nodded, thinking that it was indeed the case.

"The design of this revolver pistol is truly ingenious. Compared to the flintlock firearms on the market, it offers a revolutionary advantage."

The revolver, or revolver, was the first weapon that Obey planned to launch after careful consideration.

This type of pistol is actually not advanced. In modern times, it has been basically replaced by semi-automatic pistols and has gradually become a hunting rifle or police pistol.

But in a world where the front-loading flintlock is the main handheld firearm, it has absolute advantages.

The overall structure is simple, the parts processing technology is not complicated, and most importantly, it will not jam and the integrated ammunition design is extremely waterproof.

This is a life-threatening indicator on a battlefield where naval battles are the main focus and life and death are at stake.

"Yes."

Another older weapons engineer took the revolver blueprint and exclaimed in amazement as he looked at it:
"Whether it's rate of fire, reload time, ammunition capacity, theoretical range, accuracy, or waterproofness, it far surpasses the flintlock pistol."

"If this thing is invented, I'm afraid all the firearms on the market will be unsalable."

After all, it is a design that is several versions ahead, so it is normal to achieve comprehensive crushing in six-dimensional attributes.

"And, and ...

A researcher in a gorgeous dress snatched the blueprint, then danced with it in her arms.

I have to say that these guys, who were hired at a high price, are talented. Basically, everyone can understand the principles and advantages of a revolver at a glance.

But as for these people's personalities... they have all kinds of quirks, just like the two-meter-tall strong man who was dancing just now.

"If there are no other problems, we can modify the parameters of those devices according to the specifications required to produce this type of weapon."

For a brand new weapon, there is certainly no suitable production equipment on the market, so you can only buy a universal one and modify it yourself.

Fortunately, for these hardcore experts with MAX hands-on ability, it is very simple to modify a device.

After all, most of the instruments they used in their own research had undergone their own imaginative modifications.

……

Two days later, as the old master from the former Baishou Weapon Logistics Department pressed down the handle hard, an exquisite and classic .38 caliber bullet was successfully produced.

The old master carefully took the bright yellow bullet off the pressing table and looked at it carefully in the palm of his hand.

This little guy is so beautiful.

Compared to the traditional lead bullets with bumpy surfaces, she looks like an exquisitely dressed princess.

"Master, this..."

The apprentices and other workers around came over and surrounded them in three layers.

They rushed to see the first bullet produced by their factory, just like the people of a kingdom looking at a newborn princess.

"Here you go, pass it around."

"After you've finished reading it, remember to send it to Lady Oubey and tell her that the equipment is functioning properly."

The master craftsman handed the bullets to his eldest apprentice, then clapped his hands and went to inspect the pistol production line. The first batch of revolvers had actually been produced yesterday.

After all, apart from the rifling and firing pin process, the other mechanical structures are quite simple, unlike bullets, which also require consideration of gunpowder and primer issues.

Looking at the neatly arranged, silver-gleaming revolvers in the box, the old master was a little dazed.

This is what's left after the batch was taken away for inspection yesterday. They didn't receive any order to continue production until the performance test was completed.

Picking up one from among them, the master flicked his wrist...

click!
The barrel-shaped magazine pops out from the left side.

Swah——

With a gentle flick of the finger, the pleasant sound of the mechanical rotor reaches your ears.

click!
Another gentle flick of the wrist resets the cylinder.

Having dealt with weapons all his life, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart as he looked at these guns that looked like works of art:
"It's really impeccable..."

"These elegant ladies will surely captivate the young men on the sea..."

In fact, even he, an old man in his sixties, couldn't let go of these revolvers.

……

boom!
The bullet hit the bull's eye.

"Shhh~"

The test engineer whistled, apparently quite satisfied with the power and range.

“Perfect work~”

"It's a pity there's only one bullet."

Click~
The engineer threw out the magazine and removed the shell with smooth movements, obviously having fiddled with empty guns many times before.

"Since it's been proven that the ratio of primer to gunpowder is correct, let them produce a batch for each machine for testing."

"Then you can destroy that batch of guns and record all the data. If there are no problems, you can start mass production."

Ou Bei said coldly that she didn't want to spend too much time on these ordinary weapons.

"Ah~ Little Ouba is really cold-blooded~ Shooting until everything is scrapped~"

The other party said in a contrived tone.

Ou Bei did not respond, but threw two small golden seals worth one yuan to the other party.

This is an anti-counterfeiting seal specially made by Ou Bei using his own power. It can erode the surface of an object the moment it comes into contact with it, thus forming a dark steel stamp with extremely shallow depth.

Because ordinary materials could not withstand her destructive power, she specially asked Lana for two divine metals made of the same material as the cadre tokens.

Therefore, this small anti-counterfeiting mark can be regarded as the most technologically advanced part of the entire gun.

"Remember to mark the qualified finished products. The square ones are for firearms, and the round ones are for bullets."

After giving his instructions, Ou Bei left quickly.

She really couldn't stand a two-meter-tall, muscular shemale posing in front of her.

After returning to his laboratory and locking the door, Ou Bei looked at the various materials placed on the table and reached out to take out a small shell.

"Whoo~"

"Then let the experiment begin."

　I've been seriously researching the firearms in One Piece for the past few days, and I've done a lot of research. I can only say that the early stages were alright, but later on Oda completely went off the rails, introducing submachine guns, Gatling guns, and rocket launchers.

　　Fortunately, my current storyline is set several decades before the main storyline, so let's just consider it as the time of the great technological explosion.

　　My basis for this is Mr. 5's own description of the .44 caliber six-shot revolver when the protagonist and his group are in the small garden thirty years later. He specifically emphasized that this was a new type of weapon in the South China Sea, so it's a fairly rigorous piece of research. (Revolvers were actually the earliest firearms to use rifling.)
