Chapter 750 P1 Artillery

"What proposal? I'm all ears."

After solving the biggest difficulty, Wu Qingcheng relaxed and laughed at Yanyan.

Ouyang Shuo asked: "Personally, I am very optimistic about the game and movie industry, and I want to find professionals for long-term cooperation. I wonder if you are interested?"

Now that he saw the blue ocean of the game industry, Ouyang Shuo had no reason to let it go. How could just investing in a movie satisfy his appetite? To be an entertainment tycoon is his pursuit.

[Qingcheng Studio] was the first prey that Ouyang Shuo set his sights on.

Wu Qingcheng's eyes were full of precautions, and he hesitated to say: "You want to buy my studio?" Wu Qingcheng is no stranger to forced mergers and acquisitions by capital predators in reality.

Now that the other party holds the lifeblood of "Jiangshan Beauty", it is really hard to refuse.

[Qingcheng Studio] is the lifeblood of Wu Qingcheng, and no one else is allowed to get involved, not even Shanhai City. Wu Qingcheng has already made a plan to completely fail.

"It's not an acquisition." Ouyang Shuo shook his head, "It's a capital injection. I want to inject 200,000 gold coins into [Qingcheng Studio] in my own name, accounting for 40% of the equity, and not interfere with the operation of the studio. In terms of filming business, Shanhai The city can also provide support in all aspects. Among other things, Universal Bank is very happy to provide loans for [Qingcheng Studio]'s next film. How about it, are you interested?"

Ouyang Shuo's conditions are really not harsh, he is well versed in the way of win-win, he only thinks about making the cake bigger, instead of trying to grab short-term profits before the peaches are ripe.

After hearing this, Wu Qingcheng's heart skipped a beat. She realized that a huge opportunity was in front of her.

Even in the game, the film industry is an extremely money-burning business. Wu Qingcheng spent all her wealth, but she couldn't support the shooting of a movie, so she needed to find a partner.

If "Jiangshan Beauty" cannot recover the cost, [Qingcheng Studio] will declare bankruptcy. Therefore, the best way is to find a capital predator to cooperate with.

And Shanhai City is undoubtedly the biggest predator in China. Shanhai City not only has sufficient funds and is the largest shareholder of Universal Bank, but also has strong strength, and more importantly, it can provide all the facilities for filming movies.

The key is that the other party is not greedy, has no intention of controlling, and promises not to interfere with the operation.

Obviously, this is a pure investment behavior.

In the wilderness, there is no more suitable partner than Shanhai City. Wu Qingcheng had fantasized about cooperating with Shanhai City before, but unfortunately she couldn't even enter the gate of Wangcheng.

If it wasn't for the fact that Ouyang Shuo's image in the outside world was not feminine, and he cruelly rejected the love of top goddesses such as Phoenix and Baihua, Wu Qingcheng would really think that the other party had something else for her.

"I agree."

Wu Qingcheng nodded without hesitation. Even if there is a big pit ahead, she will jump down.

"The opportunity is fleeting." Wu Qingcheng is a decisive woman.

"Excellent!" Ouyang Shuo nodded, "We'll talk about this today, and someone will contact you later."

Ouyang Shuo has no intention of manipulating the entertainment industry himself, he wants to hand it over to Song Jia to take care of it. In addition to injecting capital into [Qingcheng Studio], Ouyang Shuo will spend another 800,000 gold coins to attract more entertainers.

A one-time investment can reach a huge amount of one million gold coins.

In this way, Ouyang Shuo's funds dwindled again, leaving only five million gold coins.

And to really operate the entertainment industry, a million gold coins seemed a bit insignificant.

In order not to take up too much working capital, the best way is to proceed step by step, invest in two or three films in advance, and then use the money earned to expand the scale of operation.

Things in between are intricate.

Ouyang Shuo believed that with Song Jia's ability, he would be able to handle it well.

After Wu Qingcheng left, Ouyang Shuo wrote a letter to Song Jia, explaining the matter in detail, and at the same time sent Song Jiahui one million gold coins.

From now on, Song Jia will take over the filming of "Jiangshan Beauty" and the injection of capital into [Qingcheng Studio].

Ouyang Shuo is looking forward to an unimaginable entertainment industry that will completely explode within the next two years and bring in a huge amount of cash for Shanhai City.

*************

After the episode, Ouyang Shuo and his party set off again.

And just as Ouyang Shuo appeased the three counties in Lingnan, the dormant Leopard Army finally made a move.

October 20, Xuanwuguan, Guilin County, Southern Sichuan Province.

A year ago, [Northern Sichuan City-State] and [Shunan City-State] joined forces, taking advantage of the Shanhai City army being held back by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, brazenly dispatched troops, seized prey, and occupied Guilin County in one fell swoop.

Guilin County is the northern barrier of Southern Sichuan Province, and even the northern border. Its strategic location is extremely important. The only passages connecting the south are Guiping Pass and Xuanwu Pass.

In the battle of guarding the pass, Guiping Pass was finally saved by the army of Shanhai City, and then expanded into the Fortress of Withering, which became the headquarters of the Leopard Army. Another pass, Xuanwu Pass, has unfortunately been occupied by the coalition forces until now.

To this day, Xuanwu Pass has been guarded by the coalition forces as impregnable as gold. And on this day, Anbei General Zhang Han led the Second Army of the Baotao Army and slowly approached the fortress.

The Leopard Army is responsible for guarding the northern border, and the leader of the Leopard Army, Han Xin, leads the First Army to personally sit in the wither fortress. The Second Army led by Zhang Han established a permanent camp near Xuanwu Pass to monitor the coalition forces.

During the one-year confrontation, the Second Army and the Xuanwu Allied Army had conflicts from time to time, and friction continued. However, Xuanwu Pass is indeed a grand pass, guarded by a full 50,000 coalition troops, it is really difficult to capture it.

Therefore, the Guanguan coalition forces saw Shanhai City's second army attack again, but remained unmoved. It is not uncommon for the other party to do this kind of action almost every month.

"Look, here they are again!"

"Haha, a bunch of idiots, bring shame on themselves."

On the wall of the pass, the soldiers of the coalition army taunted unscrupulously.

In the middle of the Second Army Corps, Zhang Han rode on a steed, concentrating on the pass not far away with a complicated expression.

one Year!

The Second Legion endured for a whole year.

"It's finally time to end it." Zhang Han muttered to himself.

With a wave of Zhang Hanling's flag, the Chinese army retreated slowly, revealing eight icy cannons drawn by thirty-two elite green clam warhorses, appearing at the front of the queue.

This cannon is not a Ming Dynasty artillery, but a new type of artillery improved by the No. 7 Research Institute, code-named P1.

Compared with the bulky artillery of the Ming Dynasty, the P1 artillery has been greatly improved. The first one is that the barrel, gun mount and other components are replaced by cast iron with fine steel materials.

In this way, it not only greatly reduces the chances of the shells exploding, but also greatly reduces the weight of the cannon, reducing the overall body weight by more than 50%.

The trouble brought about by the extremely high industrialization rate is that the yield rate of P1 artillery is extremely low, and the production capacity is seriously insufficient. Now more than ten P1 artillery that meet the requirements can be manufactured in a month.

The main problem is that the industrialization of the territory has just started, and the level of industrial technology is relatively low. Most of the accessories are not processed by machine tools and can only be polished manually, which is not only time-consuming, but also the accuracy is not high.

The second change is to reset the gun mount system.

The artillery mounts of the Ming Dynasty artillery were two-wheeled carts, which were inconvenient to transport. For this reason, the No. 7 Research Institute specially combined the latest industrialization achievements to tailor a pair of all-steel four-wheeled steel carts for the P1 artillery.

The wheels are specially designed, twice as wide as ordinary wheels, and a gear system is installed at the same time. A cannon can be easily dragged by four horses, which greatly improves the mobility of the cannon.

Of course, because the rubber tires have not yet been developed, the new four-wheeled steel car still has defects. Not only can't keep up with the speed of the war horse, but it is extremely easy to get stuck in the mud when encountering rainy weather and muddy roads.

This is still on the official road, if it is marching in the wilderness, it will be even worse. It is impossible to pass any small hillside or a ditch, let alone a high mountain.

In order to transport the eight cannons from Shanhai City to the camp of the Second Army, the Combat Readiness Department spent a full month, and there were many hardships on the way.

Once this thing gets stuck in the mud, it's almost impossible to drag it out.

A total of twelve cannons were transported from Shanhai City, and only eight of them reached the front line in the end. The remaining four doors were scrapped during transportation.

Because of this, the P1 artillery in the Battle of Lingnan did not have a chance to appear.

The third change is the essence of the P1 artillery.

After the research of Liu Mo and others, combining the advantages of Spanish artillery and British artillery, the P1 artillery finally realized projectile and achieved a historic breakthrough.

In this way, not only the range of the artillery was increased, but also the direct shelling of the city, and even the inside of the city became a reality. Artillery is no longer a tasteless siege, it can only bombard the city gate.

The P1 artillery is relatively a siege weapon, and the first target is the Xuanwu Pass in front of you.

At the same time, in order to cooperate with the projectile, the P1 artillery is also equipped with a special sight, which greatly increases the shooting accuracy of the artillery, and no longer relies solely on the experience of the artilleryman.

In order to calibrate a sight that matches the P1 artillery, the No. 7 Research Institute conducted thousands of shelling tests outside the city, and collected the original orbital data little by little before it finally took shape.

The above three are only P1 artillery. Compared with the biggest improvement of the Flang machine cannon in the Ming Dynasty, there are more than 20 other small modifications, each of which is the painstaking efforts of scientific researchers.

As "Atlantis Mimic Aircraft Manufacturing Technology" is slowly digested by No. 7 Research Institute, coupled with the boost of industrial revolution products such as steam engines and textile machines, the industrialization level of the territory is expected to reach a new level by the end of the year .

Until then, the No. 7 Research Institute will start the research work on the P2 artillery.

It is conceivable that the P2 artillery is the real big killer, and it may even rewrite the war mode, truly introducing hot weapons into the cold weapon war and playing a decisive role.

The current P1 artillery is just a small test.

Even so, it is enough for Xuanwuguan to drink a pot. With the help of this artillery, Zhang Han is confident that he will take down the pass in front of him within a day, and he will be ashamed.
