Li ZiXuan finally heaved a sigh of relief after he managed to get through those attentive madams with a formal attitude.
On the other side, at the dining table, Mrs. Shroder was also frowning at the shameless behavior of her ex-husband and his friend.
However, she was also a lady who knew the situation well
. Even if her husband sent a woman to the governor, she still endured it.
Before the banquet ended, when the governor was about to explore the arts with the singer,
Li Shi sent the governor an invitation to hunt tomorrow.
The governor thought about it and nodded in agreement.
Thus, the next morning.
A group of people rode horses and carried guns to a dense forest outside San Francisco to start hunting.
The vegetation here was abundant and the shrubs were overgrown.
In addition, it was April. The plants were green and everything was revived.
Moose were sipping water by the stream.
Dressed in casual clothes, Li Shi, Old Smith, and the governor were riding their horses while holding their guns, looking for prey.
Li Zixuan was also wearing a British-style checkered coat, riding a horse and holding a gun.
Seeing the governor's eagerness to try, Li Shi asked curiously
,"Mr. Governor, you like hunting too!”
"Yes, my ancestors were all hunters with glorious traditions. Perhaps it's because of the passion in my blood. In my spare time, I would also form a hunting team with my friends. God, I enjoy hunting!”
The governor smiled as he finished speaking. Then, he saw a water duck by the river in the distance.
He immediately raised the shotgun in his hand, an old Winchester 1866 rifle.
Aim, fire, bang! .
The startled duck flapped its wings and flew away.
The governor was a little embarrassed. He had just said that he was an old hunter, but now he had actually missed a duck.
However, he had no choice. The old Winchester 1866 rifle in his hand used a lever bolt operation and a built-in tube magazine to feed bullets.
However, because they were not using pointed bullets, their firepower was insufficient and their range was too short.
If the prey was slightly further away, the bullet would drift away from the target.
"Mr. Governor, why don't you try my son's gun?”
Li Shi suggested as he watched the governor fiddle with his gun.
Hearing this, the governor was stunned at first, then he glanced curiously at Li Zixuan, who was riding a horse behind him.
"Oh, my God, could it be that Mr. Bruce Lee actually designed a new type of flintlock?？”
Li Zixuan nodded and placed the gun in front of him.
"Mr. Governor, this is the new gun I designed. I named it the 1882 Lee Rifle. It uses a rotating recoil mechanism and 7.62mm bullets…!"”
Hearing Li Zixuan's introduction, the governor's eyes lit up.
"Can I take a look at the gun designed by Mr. Bruce?”
"Of course not!"
Therefore, Li Zixuan threw the 1882 Li rifle, which was already loaded with bullets, to the governor.
The governor carried his old Winchester 1866 rifle on his back and took the rifle thrown by Li Zixuan. He looked at it carefully.
He then pulled the bolt and loaded the bullet.
He aimed at a wild rabbit that was eating grass about 300 meters away.
Perhaps in the eyes of the wild rabbit, those humans in the distance were just unknown animals. It was impossible for anything to happen to it from such a distance.
However, a gunshot rang out! The rabbit was shot in the head and died in one shot.
Just like Old Smith, the governor immediately felt that this was a good gun.
And it might be a gun that surpassed all the guns on the market.
"Good gun, what a perfect gun. I have never seen a gun with such stability and such a long range!”
The governor fondled the streamlined gun made of black walnuts and praised.
Then, he looked at Li Zixuan with admiration
."Mr. Bruce, to be able to design such a perfect rifle, I think you're not inferior to that Eddie at all. After all, you're only ten years old!”
Although he said so, Li Zixuan couldn't take it seriously. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if it reached the ears of the vengeful Addison.
Therefore, Li Zixuan said modestly,
"I'm still far from that Mr. Eden. At the Paris World Fair, he let the glory of the Eagle Jam Country shine on the European continent. I'm just a nobody!"”
Hearing this, the governor smiled and treated Li Zixuan even more kindly.
"Not necessarily a nobody. Mr. Bruce is now famous throughout the entire Eagle Jam Country. Even if he can't catch up to the achievements of that Eddie now, I think more highly of you in the near future!”
Li Zixuan didn't answer him, but just smiled.
Therefore, the governor changed the topic to the gun.
"Mr. Bruce, I think this gun should be very expensive. It's probably very difficult to recommend it to the military. You know, the federal government's military expenditure has always been very strict!”
Li Zixuan nodded.
"The Winchester 1866 flintlock is only 15 dollars on the market, but it cost me at least 30 dollars to produce this 1882 Li rifle, excluding labor!”
He paused for a moment and continued,
"However, since this is the result of using the equipment of the razor factory, if it's a regular gun factory, I think the cost will definitely be reduced by a lot. The ex-factory price of 20 US dollars should not be a problem!”
"I see. I wonder if Mr. Bruce is interested in taking over a gun factory?”
The governor pondered for a moment and asked.
Hearing this, Li Zixuan's face lit up.
"Which firearms factory is it?!"
