Chapter 172 Cooperation
Dear book lovers, happy Dragon Boat Festival.
............................................................
"How's it going?" Roger handed the gun to Gu Lie, "I made some temporary changes, and the effect seems to be better than the original design!"
The whole gun is more than ten centimeters shorter than his original design, and even shorter than the steel ball gun described by Gu Lie, nearly 20 centimeters.
The barrel is about 10 centimeters, and the caliber size is about to fire 0.33 pistol bullets. The shape is quite strange. Originally, Roger was designed as a square with two stacks, but now it has become a diamond shape. The barrel is located on four nodes. From the first third of the barrel, every two centimeters, there is a round steel ring. The barrel is fixed.
Behind the barrel is a round wheel. When he saw this part, Gu Lie had to give a thumbs up to Roger. He actually created his own wheel without ever touching firearms. With this innovative ability alone, I'm afraid he can be called the top mechanic in the mainland.
The wheel has only four holes, and the middle organic spring can be controlled. It only turns a quarter of a circle, which is no different from the barrel. What surprised Gu Lie more was that there was a magazine behind the wheel, but it was not alive. It needed to be opened from under the handle of the gun, and steel balls could be installed inside.
The setting ofthe magazine is also fully automatic. There are four rows of parallel designs inside. As long as the steel beads are poured in, they can be automatically arranged neatly. When the safety is turned on, the wheel will rotate once, and the steel ball will be sent into the wheel from below, which saves the step of manually changing bullets.
The hammer also made four. Roger more magically uses sixteen springs to make steel balls to provide kinetic energy. The effect of close-range launch is not inferior to USP45 at all, but the range is relatively short.
Gu Lie was really amazed. For Roger, he could only shake his head frequently to express his amazement, and he couldn't say a word.
Roger smiled and said, "Well, are you satisfied?"
Gu Lie said with great admiration, "It's not just satisfaction, it's simply perfect!"
Roger said, "It's still a little far from perfection. As you said, it's mainly a matter of kinetic energy. The range is too short."
Gu Lie said, "This is quite good!" He shook his head hard, and the gun tossed and turned in his hand. He was reluctant to put it down for a moment.
If he can simulate firearms through mental strength, he really wants to play with it. At least it is used for self-defense at close range. It is a very practical weapon.
"Let's do this today. I'll try again tomorrow. Maybe it can be improved!" Roger said excitedly, "Gu Lie, you are simply a genius. If the two of us cooperate, you are responsible for designing the drawings, and I am responsible for the production. If it were ten years earlier, maybe we could really become the largest weapons supplier in the southern continent."
Gu Lie smiled and said, "If you want to mass produce this thing, I'm afraid it won't be very efficient. After all, there are not many mechanics as profound as your craftsmanship."
Roger said, "You're wrong! There may be few mechanics like me who can make a finished product, but many poor mechanics can cut out complete parts and finally assemble them!"
Gu Lie's mind is moved. If he follows Roger's idea, it may be really feasible! However, the most important thing now is to wait until the ancient ruins are explored. No matter what is in it, as long as it can be exchanged for a large number of Newin coins, it may be good to turn your identity into a weapon supplier as Roger said.
"There are also bullets. If the damage ability of the steel ball can be strengthened again, the damage of this gun within ten meters will be considerable." Roger said as he put steel beads into the magazine.
Gu Lie nodded and said, "It makes sense, especially when four barrels fire steel balls at the same time. Counting the offset factor, the front coverage is also good."
Roger said: "The most important thing is the service life. I roughly estimate that this gun can be used nearly a thousand times as a whole. Of course, this is a single design. If you shoot more than two times in a row at a time, the life will be sharply shortened, at most more than 300 times. The main reason is that the continuous design wears the spring a lot. This problem needs to be studied carefully. At least it can't be completely solved now.
Gu Lie nodded and said, "It doesn't matter. I will stay in Faro City these two days. Let's study together. It's better to improve the drawings to the best!"
Roger handed over the pistol full of steel balls and said, "The magazine has a capacity of 40 steel balls, that is to say, it can be shot 10 times, and the automatic bullet time of the wheel is less than a second. This can continue to be improved. It is best to control it within 0.5 seconds."
Gu Lie weighs the pistol. This size can be held with one hand. With Ye Qiu's arm strength, it should not feel too heavy, and it is almost just right to use.
Roger suddenly said hesitantly, "As for the drawings, you see..."
Gu Lie didn't understand and asked, "What's wrong with the drawing? Isn't it on the drawing board?"
Roger hesitated for a long time before he said, "You originally drew the drawing. I just made some changes. The actual holder is still you!" Do you understand now?"
Gu Lie shook his head and said, "I don't understand!" He is still thinking to himself, is it possible that there are also patents here?
Roger said helplessly, "I mean, can you transfer the right to use this drawing to me? Or, I can buy it completely, but in this case, I can only say that it is my work in the future, and it has nothing to do with you!"
"Isn't this a patent right?" Gu Lie said with a smile.
"Patent right?" This is the first time for Roger to hear this word. He shook his head and said, "Maybe it's called patent rights on your side and exclusive rights in our industry. It should be about the same nature!"
Gu Lie said, "Almost, almost..." He smiled, but he didn't expect that the design of a steel ball gun involved the patent.
He thought for a moment and said, "I don't know what price you are going to buy it?"
After careful consideration, Roger said, "I'll pay 100,000 New York dollars. What do you think?"
Gu Lie's eyes widened. He didn't expect the old mechanic to be so rich that he had a deposit of 100,000 New York dollars!
But he is not stupid. He understands that after buying the patent right of the drawing at one time, it is completely owned by Roger, which has nothing to do with himself.
Although Roger made almost half of the changes to the final shape of the gun and the drawings drawn by Gu Lie, it is of great significance to his inspiration, so he is willing to pay so much money to buy it.
Gu Lie was moved, but he still kept his mind. 100,000 New York dollars is a lot, but it is only a one-time payment. From then on, Roger's re-production of steel ball guns has nothing to do with him. This kind of one-time sale is easy to lose, especially weapons like guns, even steel ball guns, are better than swords. Such cold weapons are much more lethal.
He then shook his head and said, "I like long-term business..."
Seeing that he did not agree with his proposal, Roger nodded, which was also expected. After all, the drawings of the steel ball gun are too valuable. Once it can be mass-produced and provided to all forces in the southern continent, it will be a great source of wealth. Normal people will not let go easily, and he is just a test.
"What better way can you do it?"
Gu Lie smiled and said, "Let's divide it. What about you? The drawings are regarded as the product of our cooperation. In the future, we will sell guns and earn half of the money. What do you think?
Roger shook his head decisively and said, "This can't be done! I admit that the drawings are your inspiration to me, but all the subsequent operations are performed by me, and even changing the drawings is my idea. Even if it is divided, I should take the most of it, and half of it will definitely not work!" The old mechanic's voice is not weak at all.
Gu Lie laughed and said, "Well, in this case, I'll take another step back, you two or four..." The old mechanic was about to refute, he waved his hand and continued to say, "You can declare that the drawings are your work. I don't need any signatures, just money!"
His proposal moved Roger very much. Mechanical innovation is relatively rare in the mainland, so every time an innovative finished product is released, it will attract extreme attention. For Roger, after so many years of silence, Li is no longer very important to him. What is more important is the name. After all, at the time of Star Kill, he was the top mechanic of the organization. He is also a very powerful figure when looking at the mainland, and the peak of a mechanic is to release a mechanical product that can be popular in the mainland, and only Only in this way can it be remembered by the world.
"Are you sure?" Roger didn't believe it. After all, it involves great honor, and no mechanic would give up easily.
Unfortunately, he doesn't know Gu Lie too well. Now for him, reputation and glory are useless. The most important thing is real money to survive in the cracks. If there is no stable source of income, it is easy to be stuck in the throat by Ando, which will be very uncomfortable.
"I'm sure!" Gu Lie nodded, "If we have a happy cooperation this time and have new ideas in the future, I will also find you as soon as possible. Once a long-term cooperation is established, I can not sign all product designs!"
Roger was shocked. He was very optimistic about Gu Lie's talent in mechanical design. Not to mention that he can't design new products in the future, this kind of steel ball gun alone can get as much wealth as he can imagine.
"Good!" Roger said in a low voice, "In this case, the 100,000 Newin coins agreed before will still be paid to you as your signature! After the steel ball gun can be mass-produced, all the income will be divided into four or six, and you will never be in arrears!" The old mechanic's mind, which had been silent for a long time, became lively again.
"No problem, then let's make a finale!" Gu Lie smiled on his face.
"Don't worry, this kind of agreement is not empty. We can sign the document. Although the rules of each city are different, any kind of document will be protected, and we guarantee that we won't lose you!" The old machine began to prepare to record images for the two.
The whole process is very simple. In fact, it is similar to the video, but the image is stored in the book. The two of them explain what they should say, and then hold the image at the same time, and the document will be made.
Roger gave him a book and said with a smile, "It's getting late. Why don't you try the gun?"
Gu Lie patted his forehead and said with a smile, "You see, I'm busy and confused. Let's go first. Let's talk about it tomorrow!" He said hello, turned around and left.
The old mechanic watched him go out and turned his head to look at the drawing board, and a complex emotion gradually appeared on his face.
