The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

On the Liaoxia Kingdom side, Jiang Fan has already informed the Chu brothers, hoping to find an oil field. After all, there were many oil fields in Liaoxia and Liaoxi in the previous life.

Apart from the Liao and Xia kingdoms, there is the northern barbarian land. In the previous life, that place had a huge oil field.

However, in this world, without exploration technology, the only way to find oil fields is to look for bare oil fields where black oil flows out.

If we can find such a place, then we won’t have to worry about oil. With the gradual development of science and technology, more oil fields will be exploited and technology will also develop accordingly.

After oil is extracted, it needs to be refined, so it is necessary to build an oil refinery. The asphalt extracted from oil can be used to make asphalt roads.

With the rapid development of Dayan as a whole, things will only get better and better, but there are still internal and external troubles.

There is no need to worry about internal troubles, as Jiang Fan has strong force. It will be difficult for those people to cause any trouble!

However, Jiang Fan did not place all his hopes on the Chu brothers. He gave Fang Dingyuan the task of finding oil. With Jinyiwei's people investigating all over Dayan, it should be possible to find it.

When oil flows out, it looks like black blood, sticky and has a bad smell. It is actually very easy to identify. If you really want to look for it, you can definitely find it in such a place.

When Jiang Fan returned home, his four wives had already known that he was going to Yongning Prefecture. The four wives were reluctant to let him go. The little girl hugged Jiang Fan's legs and was reluctant to let go.

Although the two children didn't understand anything, they hugged Jiang Fan's thighs happily when they saw their family members' sad faces, and kept calling him "Father!"

Jiang Fan looked at his wife and Jiang Baoer, and then held the two little ones in his arms again, his face full of reluctance.

Su Yuqing and Chu Yan'er were pregnant again, and within a month, Zhong Ling and Ning Xinlan were probably pregnant too. He couldn't bear to part with them after getting married so soon.

"Sister Ling, I entrust my husband to you... You must protect his safety!" Although she was reluctant, Chu Yan'er also knew that Jiang Fan could not stay.

If the issue of Japanese pirates is not resolved, Dayan will most likely face a devastating disaster.

Today, the five coastal cities have been severely harmed by Japanese pirates. Not to mention for the sake of Dayan, even for the sake of the people living along the coast, Jiang Fan must make a trip.

The person that the four girls finally chose was Zhong Ling. In fact, Zhong Ling had been with Jiang Fan almost all the time since she followed him, from when Jiang Fan was still a prince to when he was the King of Qin.

They have been through so much, and have lived and died together countless times. With Zhong Ling protecting Jiang Fan, Chu Yan'er, Su Yuqing, and Ning Xinlan can all rest assured!

There was envy in Su Yuqing and Ning Xinlan's eyes, but although Ning Xinlan had martial arts skills, her strength was not that strong, so she was afraid that she could not help Jiang Fan much.

Su Yuqing had her mission. If the oil was found, she had to refine it. Jiang Fan had taught her the refining method, but she had never put it into practice.

Chu Yan'er needs to take charge of the overall situation in the capital. Since Jiang Fan is not in the capital, there is no guarantee that there won't be some unwilling people causing trouble.

With Chu Yan'er in charge in the capital, those people would be more obedient. After all, Chu Yan'er's intelligence was not inferior to Jiang Fan's. It was because of her that several crises were resolved by her.

And Zhong Ling is the most suitable candidate. With her around, the others feel at ease.

Zhong Ling nodded and agreed, with a gentle look on her face.

The next morning, Jiang Fan led a thousand white-robed soldiers to Huaining Prefecture. He did not transfer troops from the capital because it would be time-consuming and laborious for the troops from the capital to rush to Yongning Prefecture, and it would also cost a huge amount of military expenditure, which was not worth the cost.

Jiang Fan planned to dispatch 5,000 Huaining cavalry from Huaining County. Of course, the more important thing was that the automatic rifles in Huaining County had been developed according to Jiang Fan's drawings.

About 500 assault rifles have been produced so far, and the productivity of bullet production has increased dozens of times due to the emergence of steam impact lathes.

There was no need to worry about the consumption of bullets. Even the previous mortars were improved. With the support of steam lathes, fifty mortars were produced, and the shells could be barely supplied.

In addition to assault rifles, semi-automatic rifles were also invented.

Although he only brought 5,000 men with him, it would be no problem for him to sweep away the Japanese pirates with the 5,000 men in his hands.

Of course, in order to completely eliminate the Japanese pirates, Jiang Fan decided to draw some more troops from various places. These troops were all scattered by Jiang Fan to various places. He drew a total of 20,000 people.

When Jiang Fan rushed to the weapons workshop in Huaining County, the person in charge of the workshop took Jiang Fan to the weapons testing site.

Looking at the semi-automatic rifles and assault rifles, Jiang Fan showed a look of satisfaction on his face. According to his design drawings, the semi-automatic rifles and fully-automatic assault rifles were made almost exactly the same as the styles he had seen in his previous life.

Jiang Fan first tried the effect of the semi-automatic rifle, and the range was at least 500 to 600 meters, and it might even reach 700 to 800 meters. It was no problem for the effective range to reach 1,000 meters.

The recoil was okay, the 100-meter force was impressive, and the piston of the automatic reloading did not jam. He was very satisfied with the semi-automatic rifle.

He named the semi-automatic rifle Huaining-made semi-automatic rifle. As for the fully-automatic assault rifle, Jiang Fan copied it according to the most famous rifle in his previous life.

When the workshop manager asked Jiang Fan to name this fully automatic assault rifle, Jiang Fan smiled and named the assault rifle AK47!

The person in charge of the workshop and the accompanying generals including Zhong Ling looked at Jiang Fan in surprise, wondering why Jiang Fan gave the gun such a name.

But after Jiang Fan said this, no one questioned it.

Jiang Fan tried the power of the assault rifle and was very satisfied. The gun was easy to carry and its power was amazing. A magazine could hold 30 rounds of bullets. It could be fired in single or continuous bursts.

After testing the power of the two guns, the white-robed general on the side was extremely envious. Compared with the revolver in his hand, this assault rifle was more powerful.

If you encounter an enemy, you don't need to engage in hand-to-hand combat, you can just shoot and kill them all. Of course, you need to have enough bullets.

After testing the two guns, the person in charge of the workshop looked at Jiang Fan with some embarrassment and said:

"Your Highness, we have encountered problems with the Gatling and Maxim guns you mentioned. Although we have designed them according to your drawings, they often jam. In addition, the gun body heats up too quickly and can only fire within five breaths."

"If it lasts more than five breaths, the barrel may explode and melt! The Maxim is fine because it has a water cooling tube, but the water temperature rises too quickly, and changing the water is a hassle."

Jiang Fan nodded when he heard this. He knew the shortcomings of Gatling and Maxim. Although these things were very fun to launch, they also had several fatal flaws.
