629 Cloth Shell Ammunition

At present, it is intended to be sold to the King of Sulu the kind of rear-loading single-shot rifled gun modified from an arquebus.

Obviously, the ammunition factory project is an important part of this export business, and the general meeting has decided that due to the lack of labor at home, the production of ammunition will be carried out in Sin'an City, except for the manufacture of pistols and lead bullets by Boss Luo's mechanical team.

At this time, Sun Lao also nodded and added that Xiao Xia Xiaoyu had specially allocated funds for this project, and Lao Ba told me that this business had basically been determined to be given to Boss Luo and them, and now the mechanical team attaches great importance to this project, because this is the only project they currently "make money".

Gui Xianning also said at this time, I heard that Boss Luo and a few of them have written a business plan, and said that they will formally establish a company called "Australian Shuguang Machinery Co., Ltd.", Boss Luo is the chairman, Wang Gong and Chengdong Huanghai have served as the president and chief engineer in the company, but I heard that Wang Gong and Cheng Ge are only temporarily joined, and now Wang Gong's main focus is on shipbuilding, and she may soon set up a shipbuilding company.

As for Brother Cheng, he never forgets his original intention - to establish a railway company and make himself a railway tycoon in the new world.

In short, in any case, the successful cooperation between this ammunition factory and the mechanical unit of the chemical group is very likely to develop into a very large business in the near future, and it can be expected that the advent of this revolutionary and improved "Federation Type 1 single-shot handcuff" will gradually change the pattern of the arms trade in the whole world, and it can be expected that as long as we rely on our technological superiority, in the near future, we are very likely to replace the Europeans as the leader of the world's arms business.

At this time, Sun Lao also interjected and said, Xia Xiaoou, this girl is very ruthless in business, I heard that she has completed the preliminary pricing plan: it is decided that the wholesale price of each such handcuff is sixty taels of silver, and the bullet is one tael of silver and thirty pieces, do you think it is a little expensive?

Seeing that everyone was nodding, Gui Xianning explained beside him, in fact, it is not expensive, you must know that even if it is a Spanish arquebus, Brother Hou, what you received from Captain Lorraine is also ten taels of silver, not to mention that the family has already experimented, our pistol not only has a great improvement in accuracy, but also loads more than ten times faster than ordinary arquebuses, so it is definitely worth the price!

Then Gui Xianning pointed to Xiao Da Musician, who was eating melons without saying a word next to him, and said, I now have a sugar factory and an ammunition factory, and I can't get it alone, do you want Brother Xiao to help me? You don't need Brother Xiao to do your own work, just be a manager and help me supervise the process and safety process.

Sun Lao immediately said to Xiao Pingguo, yes, yes, otherwise Xiao Xiao, you will go and help Gui Xianning, he really needs to increase managers, after all, with more eyes to watch, production and safety will be more guaranteed.

Xiao Pingguo immediately responded when he heard this, it's no problem to help, just I'll just go to the sugar factory, as for the ammunition factory, it's okay to go there occasionally, forget it for a long time, it is estimated that there are all female workers over there, I'm quite afraid.

Well, that's true, too.

Brother Xiao, the process of the sugar factory, are you okay? Wei Hong asked beside him.

When Xiao Pingguo heard it, he removed the word! Why not? Please rest assured, I have participated in the whole process from the construction of the sugar factory and the ammunition factory at home to the production, although it is only a basic labor force, but I have never eaten pork and never seen a pig run? What's more, there is Xiao Guizi to check the quality of the process, and everyone nodded in agreement after hearing it, so the matter was decided.

After these major matters were discussed and decided, all that remained was about finding female workers for the ammunition factory, Hou Xianglin agreed to Gui Xianning's request on the spot, he said that there are many new little girls in the Luoka tribe now, most of them have recently been "received" from some defeated tribes, and I heard that there are several small tribes in it that have taken refuge in the whole group, and those tribes were forced to leave their original stations because of the war a few days ago, and they "wandered" in the jungle for several months, and finally met the people of the Luoka tribe before they walked out of the jungle.

Everyone knows a little bit about this, just look at the tribal men and women who come to work at the construction site of Xin'an City and live in the shed at night these days, you can know that the people of the Luoka tribe are becoming more and more prosperous today.

Next, everyone watched with great interest Gui Xianning personally demonstrated how to make cloth shell fixed ammunition.

The purpose of Gui Xianning's demonstration is mainly for Xiao Pingguo and **, these two are not only to help be managers but also the successors of Xin'an City in the future, so the two must master the basic process operation, and must not be laymen.

First of all, the tung oil should be boiled, and a viscous liquid similar to varnish should be refined through precipitation and foaming, and then this viscous substance was coated on a clean fine linen cloth, and after the linen cloth was soaked in varnish and dried, the fine linen cloth was cut into a special shape of cloth strips with a knife.

These strips of cloth are hard and dry because they are soaked in varnish and are dry, and should be stored in a cool, dry place for later use.

The next step is to wrap the cloth strip on the ** medicine pillar by hand: take a piece of cloth, dip a brush in a little kerosene prepared in advance, and then evenly brush it onto the dry and hard cloth strip.

In particular, kerosene is also provided by the chemical group at home, which comes from the coal retort furnace, and now through the coal distillation process, the chemical group can obtain a lot of organic compounds, as well as a large amount of bitumen and a small amount of oil.

However, several professionals in the chemical industry group also admitted that those oils can only be said to be basically kerosene, after all, they are still in the process exploration stage, so these oils must not reach the quality of high-grade kerosene, but Mr. Zhao has guaranteed that it is expected that by the end of the year, it should be possible to make high-grade kerosene close to the level of aviation kerosene, although the quantity may not be much, but it is still possible to ensure the demand of the two ammunition factories.

After introducing the situation, Gui Xianning continued to demonstrate the operation, the dry and hard cloth strip was soaked with kerosene, and soon became soft, and then took advantage of the fact that the kerosene had not yet volatilized and the cloth strip was soft, and quickly took out the medicine column prepared in advance, and then dipped it in a paste made of fine japonica rice, and dipped the round-headed lead bullet on one end of the medicine column, and then protected it with both hands, put it on the cloth strip and wrap it on the board, just like hand-catching dumpling skin, the medicine column and lead bullet were wrapped, this process requires both hands to be very stable and fast, At this time, the varnish on the cloth strip becomes very sticky because of the dissolution of kerosene, so the cloth strip is easy to stick to the smooth pill column, and the medicine column and lead bullet are sealed, and only a small round head of lead bullet is exposed at the front end.

After doing this, and then slowly drying, the kerosene usually has a part of volatilization or immersion into the medicine column, and the shell of the fine linen will become hard again, and finally hard as a paper shell, so that the unit weight of the qualified finished product is reduced compared with the paper shell bullet.

The other end of the strip of cloth has been cut in advance, and there is a strip of cloth that is actually detached, and a small piece of cloth is left in advance, so that the soldier can smoothly tear the strip of cloth with his teeth before the ammunition is placed in the nest, exposing a small part of the column at the rear end, so that the ammunition can be fired by flint sparks in the nest.

Gui Xianning explained while operating, and in less than a minute, a cloth shell fixed bullet was made.
