Chapter Eighty-Six: The Challenge (Fifth Update)
"Build a machine?"
Hearing Bai Yi say this, even Lin Bo, who was originally serious-faced, couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately straightened up from the chair and urged Bai Yi: "Xiaobai, you talk carefully, how to build a machine!" β
Not only Lin Bo, Song Jixue and other participants are very curious, it may be easy to operate the machine, but it is simply difficult to build a machine, if the Baiyun factory is in its heyday, it is fine, but the problem is that the current Baiyun factory can only barely start half, the existing machinery and equipment are also tinkering, it is very good to be able to repair it, how can it still build a machine?
Even if you take 10,000 steps back, Baiyun Factory has this technical foundation, but there is no such professional talent, the masters in the workshop have no problem with the operation, but none of them can understand the principle, as for the technical cadres transferred from Dongye, engaged in military production, but the more complex machinery and equipment are also ignorant, after all, the interlaced is like a mountain, the smoke of gunfire, after all, it is not a sparkling metal chipping, it is difficult to link together.

Bai Yi was not surprised by the reactions around him, so he cleared his throat and continued: "That's right, it is to build machines, if the head of the General Logistics Department thinks that our Baiyun Factory still has potential, then I think this potential is in those scrapped machines in our factory warehouse." β
"Xiaobai, wait, you mean you want to use the scrapped machine in the warehouse for transformation?"
Before Bai Yi's words fell, Song Jixue took the conversation over, and Bai Yi nodded very naturally: "That's right!" β
Song Jixue and Lin Bo glanced at each other, and then turned their heads to look at Bai Yi: "Xiaobai, maybe you have been here for a short time, you may not understand, there are a lot of scrapped machinery in the warehouse, but basically they have been completely scrapped, in fact, you have already thought about this when we first received the Baiyun Factory, for this reason, the superior also specially invited mechanical experts, intending to repair and reuse."
It's a pity that the damage to these scrapped machinery is too serious, only a few parts can barely be used, and in the end there is no way, only to remove the usable parts as maintenance spare parts for the four workshop machinery, and the rest can only be used as scrap steel scrap treatment, waiting for the blast furnace workshop to recover after the melted steel ingots are reused. β
Song Jixue's words are not wrong at all, the waste machinery in the factory warehouse mentioned by Bai Yi is the scrapped machinery eliminated by the warlords and the Japanese occupation, and it has long been unusable, otherwise when the Soviet Union captured the Baiyun Factory, it would have been moved away, but these waste machinery is extremely valuable to our army.
After all, for the border arsenal comparable to a handicraft workshop, even the scrapped machinery is of great value, so after our army seized the Baiyun Arsenal, it is indeed an unprecedented excavation of the scrapped machinery here, which can be restored as much as possible, and what cannot be restored is also a component, a component of the study, even if it is a good screw, it must be reused, in short, our army can be said to have squeezed the last potential of this batch of scrap to the extreme.
As for the rest, in addition to being scrap iron, it can only be scrap iron, otherwise it is impossible for the invited mechanical experts to shake their heads after seeing this batch of scrapped machinery, no way, there is really no way to reuse it, because of this, in the previous meeting, no one mentioned this batch of scrapped machinery, yes, when Bai Yi proposed, Song Jixue opened his mouth to remind, but Bai Yi shook his head: "Secretary Song, I have seen those machines, the state is really bad, but I can't say that they have no effect, For example, a scrapped boring machine I saw, the base is still stable, and the guide rails on it are also very regular, if a set of motors and drill bits are added after rust removal, it will immediately become a simple boring machine for processing gun barrels;
There is also a horizontal milling machine, only one frame remains, and there is a scrapped indexing head and spare tools replaced in the No. 2 workshop in the warehouse, if you find a way to integrate it into it, our factory will not have a problem even processing the main structure of large-caliber artillery, and for example, I saw a machine tool frame......"
Bai Yi said while gesturing the frames of each machine with his hand, feeling a little unvivid, he simply picked up the pen and drew it in the notebook, the people around him first listened quietly, and then looked at Bai Yi with wide eyes in disbelief, but it didn't take long for them to get up, walk to Bai Yi's side, and surround him in the center, watching, listening, and thinking, even Lin Bo and Song Jixue were no exception.
And Bai Yi has a lot of treasures about the waste machinery, spare parts and even replaced scrapped parts in the warehouse of Baiyun Factory, and the structure and even the ways and means of maintenance are at his fingertips, and the people around him can't help but sigh that Bai Yi seems to be prepared.
In fact, it is true that in the more than half a month since he came to the Baiyun Factory, Bai Yi was not idle in addition to assisting Tong Lin in arresting Zhan Hongtao and taking the opportunity to develop a new gun, and walked around the Baiyun Factory inside and out, especially the factory warehouse in charge of his quality assurance department, which was even more transparent by him inside and out.
It is precisely because of this that he has been eyeing the scrapped machinery in the warehouse early in the morning, and the reason for this is very simple, he wants to make new firearms, but to build it must use machinery and equipment, manual production is just an emergency, and industrialized mechanical mass production is the ultimate right way.
However, judging from the current situation of the Baiyun Factory, the four workshops that started work can complete the task indicators of the superiors are already very good, and it is impossible to free up machinery to support the development of his new gun, perhaps by this time next year, the country will be basically liberated, and the output of the Baiyun Factory may decline, and he can make a few prototype guns with a few machines.
But at that time, less than half a year before the outbreak of the Korean Civil War, even if he had the unparalleled golden thighs of the traverser, it was impossible to make a strong, durable, reliable, and powerful new firearm in just half a year under the condition that the industrial base was extremely weak.
Not to mention anything else, the poor reliability of the improved M1 carbine is a typical example, at first Bai Yi felt that with the powerful ability of his traverser, it was not a pediatric matter to change a semi-automatic firearm into a fully automatic firearm, but the result was that the firearm came out, but because the internal structure and processing technology could not keep up, the reliability was extremely poor.
It was only at this time that Bai Yi understood that his previous idea was too naΓ―ve, and the ability of the traverser was strong, but if it was out of the current industrial base, it would also be duckweed on the sea.
Because only in this way, he can plan a more reasonable improvement of firearms according to the production status of these equipment, after all, this is not the previous life, the designer can rely on the strong industrial capacity to play freely, the weak industrial ability is like a cage, restraining the thinking of all designers, but on the other hand, it is an extraordinary challenge, Bai Yi from the moment the improved M1 carbine was stuck, he made up his mind to meet this challenge!
