That afternoon, the governor left San Francisco by train with his prey and 50,000 dollars.
As a cunning politician, he didn't make any promises.
But he only said one sentence to the chief of San Francisco's police department,
To ensure the development of a company like Lee Smith, the 50,000 USD investment was already paid off.
"You're going to Arizona!"
After Li Shi returned from the Hong Sect, he was surprised to hear Li Zixuan's words.
"Yes!" Li Zixuan nodded.
"Just because of what the governor said?”
Li Shi felt that his son was too nervous. In his opinion, it was just buying a gun shop.
It wouldn't take long for someone to spend a few thousand dollars. There was no need to go there personally.
However, he had no idea how important it was to the Browning brothers.
Li Zixuan didn't want such a talent to be stolen. In history, the Browning brothers would eventually cooperate with the largest firearms supplier in the Eagle Country, the Winchester Company.
As he did not remember the exact time, he needed to act before the Winchester Company injected funds.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to attract the Browning brothers once the big companies got involved.
Therefore, Li Zixuan nodded in response to his father's doubts.
"That's right, those brothers are worth me making a trip personally!”
Seeing his son's solemn expression, Li Shi nodded in agreement.
"Oh right, before we go to the State of Arizona, come with me to a place tomorrow!”
"Oh!" Li Zixuan nodded. He didn't even ask where it was and returned to his room.
Looking at his son's increasingly mature and steady back, Li Shi really felt that time was getting old.
Unknowingly, he had been in this country for more than twenty years.
He had taken root and given birth to a child. He had made such a great career. However, he still had a dream in his heart.
He wondered if he would be able to return to his hometown in his lifetime.
The next morning,
"Ding... Today's sign-in is complete…Obtained the production process information of smokeless gunpowder!”
"Very good, system, you really gave me a pillow when you were sleepy!”
Li Zixuan was overjoyed as he lay on the bed. The check-in system had given him some useless things for the past few days.
Today, the system was finally generous again.
A Level 3 clan was indeed much more powerful than a Level 2 clan.
A few days ago, he had already transferred a sum of money through his father to the chart of the commodity trading in Chicago.
They would enter the futures market in the next two months or so.
With the completion of the Eaglejam Nation's railway, the speed of the railway that pulled the economy began to slow down, which led to the previous over-investment.
This led to the phenomenon of consumption capacity being less than production capacity. With the financial crisis as the forerunner, the supply of coal, oil, railroads, food, and so on would exceed demand.
The Eagle Jam Nation would have a bumper harvest of wheat and corn this year.
In addition, the Eagle Jam Nation had advocated the development of the western region in recent years. A large number of immigrants came to the western region through San Francisco, Boston, and so on.
As a result, a lot of land in the west was used to grow food.
This would result in a much larger grain production than in previous years.
At the same time, the bumper harvests in Europe and India would cause international food prices to plummet this year.
Under such circumstances, Li Zixuan was prepared to go to the Chicago futures market in a few months to make some money.
Now that the system had given him the smokeless gunpowder technology, he had finally made up for his shortcomings in weapon production.
Although he had already produced the 1882 Lee rifle, there was a big problem that troubled him.
That was, this gun was an improved version of the Mauser rifle. The Hans Mauser Company had a patent for the " rotating recoil gun."
Therefore, if Li Zixuan wanted to produce the 1882 Li rifle, there were only two ways. One was to obtain the patent authorization from Mauser Company.
The other was to wait until the patent expired.
However, these two methods were either expensive or a waste of time.
Of course, considering the difficulty of international patent litigation, even if Mauser Company filed a lawsuit in the Eagle Sauce Nation, Li Zixuan had a way to drag it out for many years.
By then, even if the lawsuit was lost, the patent for the " revolving recoil bolt " would probably expire soon.
However, Li Zixuan did not want his weapons company to be labeled as an illegal counterfeit.
Just as he was thinking about how to solve this problem, the production process of smokeless gunpowder gave him a good solution.
Nowadays, whether it was the Eagle Sauce Nation, John Bull, or Hans, the weapons used by developed countries were all black gunpowder.
Black gunpowder, on the other hand, would produce smoke after firing, leaving behind residue, and the problem of insufficient explosive power.
In fact, as early as 1845, Schonbye of the St. Bernard Dog Kingdom accidentally knocked over a bottle filled with a mixture of sulfuric acid and sulfuric acid when he was doing an experiment.
The solution splattered on the table. He picked up a cotton apron to wipe it and then dried it with a fire.
Unexpectedly, when the apron approached the stove, there was a "poof" and the apron disappeared instantly like magic without producing any smoke.
This inconspicuous cotton apron started the history of the development of smokeless gunpowder.
However, until today, smokeless gunpowder was something that all countries wanted but could not get.
In fact, two years later, in 1884, the Gallic scientist Viery solved this problem and made the world's first smokeless gunpowder.
And now, Li Zixuan was obviously going to steal the patent of the smokeless gunpowder.
At that time, he could obtain the production license for the improved Mauser rifle through the exchange of patent authorization.
Presumably, the Hans government would not stop them.
Therefore, he immediately wrote down the information on smokeless gunpowder and sent it to the patent office.
A week later, the patent certificate was issued.
The Eagle Sauce Nation became the first nation to produce smokeless gunpowder.
On the second day after the patent was approved, Li Zixuan took the Pacific Railroad and headed to Arizona.
Their destination was a small town called Ogden in the State of Arizona.
When the Browning brothers sold a gun to the governor, they told the governor that they could come to this place to place an order. Obviously, they hoped that the governor would be a long-term customer.
