Chapter 263 Harvest
After a good night's rest, the four of Liang En and the others checked out early the next morning, took their luggage and drove to the previous warehouse area. After paying the money and getting the keys, they immediately ran towards the target.
"Which room should we start?" Fan Meng asked while eating the sandwich in his hand. "No. 127." Liang En said, swallowing the food in his mouth. This is the warehouse he bought with Pierce for the store before, so naturally it should be the first to open it.
They paid $800 for this warehouse at that time, because several people saw what looked like a chandelier behind a board inside at first sight.
After opening the warehouse door with the key, the four immediately packed up.It has to be said that the more people there are, the faster they can clean up, so half an hour after entering the venue, they almost packed up the things in the warehouse.
There are a large number of boxes in this warehouse, as well as some covered glass sheets and gold and silver metal pipes.These things are not light, so it is much easier to carry when there are many people.
"What are these things?" Joan of Arc asked Liang En who was sitting on the empty box with Pierce to study those things when almost all the things were moved into the car.
In her opinion, as a vassal, she needs to assist her lord to do various tasks.For example, in the past, she used the sword in her hand to fight bravely for the King of Dharma, but now she naturally has to help Liang En complete his adventure and treasure hunt.
However, unlike fighting on the battlefield, the completion of this kind of work requires a lot of knowledge, so now Joan seizes every opportunity to learn this knowledge.
"These are some lamps from the 60s." Although Liang En didn't know what Joan of Arc was thinking, he was willing to answer questions for those who asked as long as it was convenient for him.
"While these table lamp fixtures are industrial products, they are based on the handmade lamps of the American Gilded Age in the early 20th century, and the overall look is very beautiful."
Speaking of which, Liang En took out a glass lampshade. The frame of this glass lampshade was woven with gold-plated copper wire, and the inlaid inside was carved glass made of stained glass, which was full of artistic sense as a whole.
"Indeed." Joan of Arc nodded. For this kind of daily necessities, beauty can be seen at a glance, but the glass lampshade that Liang En is holding in his hand is obviously a beautiful little thing.
"If these things are brought to the UK, they can be sold for about 1 pounds." After counting the contents of these boxes, Pierce roughly estimated the price.
"There's a lot of demand for this style of lamps from coffee shops, restaurants and luxury stores in London, especially if they're older, so we just had to spend just over £1000 to replace them with new circuits and bulbs. It should be able to sell for a good price later.”
After clearing this warehouse, they next cleared the warehouse Pierce had found earlier.Compared with the previous warehouse, the value of this warehouse is lower.
Although the furniture in it is indeed from the early 20th century, unfortunately there is no complete set except for a dining table and chairs, so the overall profit is not too much.
"Okay, let's open the last warehouse." After cleaning two warehouses in succession, Liang En and the others felt a little exhausted.
However, because Da is now very curious about what is in the last warehouse, he simply asked Fan Meng to buy a bunch of fried chicken burgers from the nearby Golden Arch to quickly fill his stomach, and then opened the door of the last warehouse.
"God, this is a big discovery." Fan Meng exclaimed after removing the oilcloth covering the thing facing the door.
"Is this a gun or a cannon?" Pierce looked at the dusty iron guy with doubts on his face.
If this thing is a cannon, it looks a bit small, but if it is a gun, the separate upper and lower gun mounts, shields, and separate brakes are not what a gun should have.
"This should be an old-fashioned heavy anti-tank gun." As a former soldier, Fan Meng probably recognized what it was. .”
"It's just that as the armor of the tank got thicker and thicker, the effect of these things became worse and worse. So in the end they were eliminated by the anti-tank rocket launcher."
"However, after the 80s, this thing was revived again with the concept of an anti-materiel rifle. It's just that the opponent is no longer those sturdy main battle tanks, but has become a helicopter, light armored vehicle or other high-value targets."
"I know what this is." Taking this opportunity to take a photo and search it online, Liang En immediately understood what kind of weapon it was. "28mm sPzB 41 light conical bore anti-tank gun used by Germany in World War II."
This gun is equipped with a tapered barrel with an initial caliber of 28mm and a muzzle caliber of 20mm, a horizontal bolt similar to a cannon, and an average rate of fire of ten rounds per minute.
This tapered barrel gives the gun an unparalleled armor-piercing capability under the same caliber. The initial velocity of a 0.1305 kg armor-piercing projectile can reach 1402m/s after being fired, and the penetration depth can reach 100 meters when hitting the vertical steel handle. 94mm.
Compared with the 20~30mm vertical armor-piercing ability of other anti-tank rifles, the armor-piercing ability of this German rifle can be said to be far ahead, even not in the same dimension at all.
However, in order to obtain this armor-piercing ability, the price paid by this gun is also heavy enough.
On the one hand, the standard version of this gun weighs 229kg. Even the one in front of Liang En has small wheels, only a single-leg frame, and the paratrooper version, which uses a large number of hollow tubular structures and light alloys, weighs 118kg.It can't be used alone at all.
On the other hand, this tapered barrel has a very high internal pressure when it is used, so the service life is greatly shortened. On average, the barrel must be replaced every 500 rounds of bullets fired.
Therefore, in the later period of World War II, as the armor of the tank became thicker, the raw materials for the tungsten core bullet used in this gun became more and more rare, so the production of this weapon was discontinued in 1943.
With the four working together, they quickly found two spare barrels, six empty ammunition boxes each holding 12 rounds, and a ZF 1х11 optical sight from the surrounding containers.
"The various spare parts of this gun are actually in order!" Liang En felt pleasantly surprised after installing all the found parts into this anti-tank gun.
A total of 2797 such firearms have been manufactured in history. Considering the war and such a long time, there are not many that can be preserved to this day, let alone such complete accessories.
Therefore, if this gun is found by the right person, it can be easily sold for 30 to [-] U.S. dollars, which can be regarded as a big gain. What's more, he also got a [Detection (N)] card from this gun. .
In addition to the gun and its accessories, Liang En and the others also found four paratrooper helmets in this warehouse, a complete set with the Iron Cross of the Second Class, the Black War Wound Medal, the Paratrooper Badge, the Russian Front Medal, and the Infantry Assault Badge Luftwaffe lieutenant's uniform, and a Chashik saber with a swastika on it.
These things are all sorted and packed in boxes, and even people back then stuffed a lot of waste newspapers and shavings into them to avoid collisions.So in this case all is well preserved.
Obviously, buying this warehouse is a very good business for Liang En. According to his estimation, this pile of things might be sold for 50 US dollars, which can be regarded as a big harvest.
