Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

The next day, when Lin Yi got up, it was almost 10 o'clock.

Last night, he talked a lot with Zhao Xu and Zhao Xi.

By the time he returned to his palace, it was already past 2 o'clock in the morning.

After a simple wash, Lin Yi lay on the bed to rest, and fell asleep straight away until now.

During this sleep, Lin Yi could be said to have slept quite comfortably. However, no matter how comfortable his bed is, he still has to get up at this time.

Because, he has made an appointment with Yang Bing from the Weapons Research Institute today, and he is going to the Weapons Research Institute today to visit.

I heard that Yang Bing has produced some good stuff, and Lin Yi needs to go and take a look.

After a simple wash and some food, Lin Yi left the palace, got into a customized car, and headed towards the weapons research institute outside the city.

Nowadays, Daxia cars have become popular. Although they are still very expensive, they are no longer limited to high-ranking officials in the empire.

Some wealthy businessmen also got into the car.

However, the cars of the empire's high-ranking officials were still different from the cars of wealthy businessmen.

Apart from the workmanship and materials, the biggest difference between the two is that the official car has two small flags on both sides of the hood. The pattern of the flag is the Golden Dragon Flag.

As a member of the royal family and an imperial prince, in addition to flying a golden dragon flag on both sides of his car, he also needs to hang a clan flag symbolizing the prince.

And his license plate number is also a very forward license plate like "003".

There is no way, the license plate 001 is exclusive to Zhao Xu, and the license plate 002 belongs to Zhao Xi.

The license plate further back is 003. This shows how important Lin Yi is in Zhao Xu's heart.

This kind of license plate itself is a manifestation of identity.

Lin Yi was sitting in the car, while Fang Zhong was sitting in the front passenger seat, acting as Lin Yi's bodyguard.

Lin Yi quickly left the city and arrived outside the weapons research institute.

After going through layers of screening, Lin Yi finally entered the weapons research institute.

The reason for being so strict is because Lin Yi requested it.

He knew very well what was in the Weapons Research Institute. It could be said that no matter which drawing he gave to Yang Bing, it was timeless.

As for why Yang Bing was only given drawings.

That's just Lin Yi trying to train the empire's engineers and designers.

If you want to train these engineers and designers to design weapons independently, you cannot just rely on yourself to provide drawings.

In fact, strictly speaking, it is cheaper to buy the physical object than the drawing.

For example, a 98K rifle costs about 3 to 5 imperial silver dollars.

A complete blueprint of a 98K rifle costs at least [-] to [-] imperial silver dollars.

Lin Yi would rather go slower, spend more money, and improve the empire's military industry.

"Your Majesty." Seeing Lin Yi's car drive into the research institute, Yang Bing hurriedly greeted him.

Lin Yi saw Yang Bing and nodded towards him.

"I heard that you have made something good again here? What kind of good thing is it?" Lin Yi looked at Yang Bing and asked directly.

"Your Majesty, of course there are good things. Otherwise, my subordinates would not have allowed Your Majesty to take time out of his busy schedule to come to my research institute." Yang Bing said with a flattering look.

"Okay, let's go." Seeing Yang Bing say this, Lin Yi nodded.

"Your Highness, please come this way." As he said that, Yang Bing turned sideways and made way for Lin Yi.

Lin Yi followed Yang Bing to a shooting range.

There were already several groups of soldiers there, waiting for Lin Yi and the others to arrive.

"Okay, my Director Yang, don't be too pretentious and tell me what good things you have come up with." Seeing that Lin Yi had arrived, he asked Yang Bing again.

At this time, Yang Bing stopped pretending. He waved to a soldier next to him, and the soldier immediately ran to Lin Yi.

"My lord, look at this. This is based on your request for a rifle with high precision that can kill enemies at an extremely long distance."

"This is the latest sniper rifle manufactured by our research institute."

"This gun is a high-precision rifle specially designed according to your request, Your Majesty."

"This gun is based on the 98K. The barrel has been lengthened and the rifling added. At the same time, the bolt has been redesigned to allow soldiers to pull the bolt more easily and to ensure the sealing of the bolt. It will not Weaken the power of bullets." Yang Bing briefly introduced the sniper rifle in his hand.

Lin Yi suddenly became interested when he heard Yang Bing's words.

He took the gun and carefully looked at the new sniper rifle in his hand.

This gun is indeed longer than the 98K, and it is also slightly heavier. But this is normal. After all, this gun uses more materials than the 98K used before.

However, this extra weight does not affect its use. Even when setting up the gun, this weight can better keep the gun body stable.

Moreover, an extra scope is added to the barrel of this gun.

It's a very old-fashioned sight that looks very long.

Lin Yi tried to look at it and found that the scope was only a 4x scope at most.

However, in an era where snipers are generally not popular, a sniper rifle equipped with a 4x scope is already a killer weapon on the battlefield.

Lin Yi tried to pull some gun bolts and found that the gun bolts could be pulled with only a small amount of force.

Very silky smooth, no clogging at all.

This kind of gun bolt that can be easily opened allows soldiers to load ammunition with less effort on the battlefield without being discovered by the enemy due to too much movement.

At the same time, while ensuring that the bolt can be easily opened, it also ensures that the bolt of the gun will not be shaken open due to violent movement.

Yang Bing looked at Lin Yi's face with a slight smile. He knew that Lin Yi was very satisfied with this rifle.

"The gun is good, but I would like to ask, is the maintenance cost of this gun high?" After playing with the sniper rifle for a while, Lin Yi looked up at Yang Bing.

Yang Bing felt a little embarrassed when he heard Lin Yi ask this question.

"My lord, the disadvantage of this gun is the high maintenance cost."

"Because the bolt and bolt of this gun are specially made, the bolt of this gun needs to be dismantled frequently for cover. Otherwise, there will be sand or dust inside the bolt, causing the bolt to fail to pull open." Yang Bing said a little embarrassed.

Lin Yi frowned slightly when he heard Yang Bing's words.

If it is true as Yang Bing said, then strictly speaking, this gun is not practical and is more like an experimental gun.

After all, how could it be spotless on a real battlefield? Many times, the soldiers were covered in mountains of corpses and seas of blood, crawling and rolling in mud pits.

The battlefield environment is extremely complex, so when choosing weapons, Lin Yi must first consider stability, not weapons that will break after a short period of use.
