"Barrel chrome?"

After Chen Yaoyang heard this term, his head was inexplicably a little dizzy, he had heard of gold plating, silver plating, and copper plating, but he had never heard of chrome plating, in fact, Chen Yaoyang could not be blamed for being lonely and unheard, it was really that China's industrial level and world level at this time were too backward.

You must know that in Europe, the United States and the Soviet Union, the initial exploration of chrome plating for guns has been completed, and it has begun to be widely used, the most typical is the AK-47 assault rifle that has been finalized and equipped with the Soviet army in batches at this time.

As a result, these parts have excellent durability, metal fatigue resistance and wear rate is amazingly high, even if buried in the soil for a month or two, it can still be used normally, it is precisely by virtue of such durable characteristics that the AK-47 assault rifle will be highly recognized around the world and will flourish for a long time.

It's just that chrome plating is a very good process, and it was not a superb technology in Bai Yi's previous life, but in the 1950s, this technology was a small frontier in the field of weapons and equipment, because chrome plating of firearms has not been widely implemented around the world.

It's not how difficult the chrome plating process is, it's just that before that, due to the progress of metallurgy, as well as the reality of the firing situation of firearms, and the need to consider the damage to the barrel caused by so much ammunition, after all, all countries are generally equipped with bolt-action rifles with a big bolt that shoots and pulls.

Even some tall semi-automatic rifles do not fire as fast as later assault rifles, and only the barrels of some light machine guns and heavy machine guns have this need, but after the widespread adoption of more robust and durable heavy barrels, the problem does not seem to be very prominent, in short, due to the constraints of equipment, which makes it less technically urgent.

However, when fully automatic firearms began to sweep the world, and countries rushed to list more effective assault rifles, weapon designers found out how terrible the wear and tear of the gun chamber by the continuous high temperature and high pressure of the bullet was, but to solve this problem, it was not impossible to use a heavier barrel to resist wear and tear from the source of the material.

Or find a simpler and more effective way to multiply the resistance of the barrel and other parts to wear and tear, and the first idea was quickly thrown into the wasteland by designers from all over the world, jokes, this is an automatic rifle for individual use, involving strict weight control in the indicators.

Instead of replacing it with a heavy barrel with a large weight, it is better to let the soldiers have a light machine gun, so chrome plating, which was not widely used before, entered the eyes of gun designers in various countries, thus opening a new era of barrel chrome plating.

From the very beginning, Bai Yi wanted to chrome the barrel of the fully automatic rifle he developed, after all, this process is simple and effective to improve the reliability of the barrel, but the problem is that his idea is good, but the reality makes it difficult for him to implement, because to implement this process, it requires a lot of professional tools and chemicals.

The relevant power supply is indispensable, you must know that the core of the chrome plating process is the use of impulse current plating, which requires the power in the factory not only to be sufficient, but also to have strong continuity, because only in this way can the impact of the current money, so that the chemicals in the plating pool can fully reflect the completion of chrome plating.

However, although the Baiyun plant has a power supply, but these power is intermittent, the basic production is barely guaranteed, and the electroplating treatment cannot be carried out at all, the reason is that the generator set of the Fengman Hydropower Station responsible for the power supply is sometimes good and bad, even if it is repaired, and it has the power supply capacity, but the extremely unstable voltage, as well as the failure at any time, will make the power supply very unstable.

Ordinary machine tool processing is good, the voltage is unstable can wait, a sudden power failure can take a break and wait for the power to resume and continue to dry nothing, the impact is only the progress, not the workpiece itself, but to implement the barrel chrome plating process, the unstable power supply is definitely taboo, you must know that the pool of chemical solution, relying on the external continuous electric shock to complete the chemical reaction, if the voltage is unstable or the power outage in the middle, the chemical solution of the pool is scrapped, not to mention, even the barrel of deep processing will be greatly affected.

Because of this, although Bai Yi knew the good method of chrome plating the barrel, he did not implement it at the first time, but kept changing the materials, while trying to find an alternative, he also actively made suggestions to his superiors through the military management committee of the factory, hoping that the superiors could completely renovate the power generation equipment of the Fengman Hydropower Station and related power transmission and transformation facilities.

In fact, there is no need for their suggestions, with the head of the General Logistics Department as the leader, the higher-level departments have long been preparing to carry out a large-scale renovation of the basic power supply facilities in the northeast, after all, industrial production cannot be without power, and electricity is one of the most efficient and cheapest power in the industrial field, and ensuring power supply is to ensure industrial production, and it is the foundation for ensuring the smooth progress of economic construction.

Therefore, less than a week after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Northeast Bureau set up a leading group for emergency power repair, and at the same time sent an expert working group to the Fengman Hydropower Station to carry out rapid maintenance.

At the beginning of the new year in 1950, with the signing of the Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation, two generating units and three sets of power transmission and transformation equipment aided by the Soviet Union began to be installed one after another.

And in this regard, Bai Yike is sincerely happy, because the barrel chrome plating that he has been coiling in his heart for a long time can finally be implemented, and it is precisely because of this that he will say this method after the end of the test, Chen Yaoyang is not clear about the complicated process, he is just very curious when he listens to this unfamiliar proper noun.

When he learned that it may be the current cutting-edge manufacturing process in the field of weapons and equipment, he was even more excited and laughed, his dream is to make China's technology catch up with the world, the more cutting-edge the technology used, the more excited he is, and the more energetic he is, the previous intermediate power bullet is like this, and now there is an opportunity to learn the manufacturing technology that has not been officially promoted in the world, Chen Yaoyang was like a chicken blood, and said directly to Bai Yi excitedly: "Chief Bai, you say, what should we do?" ”
