Chapter 55: The Difficult Manufacture of Firearms (Ask for Collection and Recommendation)

"Dada~~"

Just when Wang Tiancheng and Zhan Hongtao rushed towards the Baiyun Factory, there was a lot of gunfire on the shooting range in the factory, Bai Yi had a black circle under his eyes, and his body was much thinner than the day before yesterday, but he was still full of energy and held the firearm in his hand, sometimes shooting upright, sometimes half-squatting and shooting, sometimes lying on the cold ground for a while, and sometimes sweeping wantonly with a firearm.

All in all, Bai Yi showed all the shooting styles he could think of, until the barrel of the gun was a little hot, Bai Yi stopped, and then strode to Chen Yaoyang's side, lifted the gun and looked left and right, and shook his head helplessly: "The quality of the barrel is still not up to par, and the air guide device may still need to be improved!" ”

"How can the 38 big cover be a bolt-action rifle, the rate of fire is low, and the barrel naturally does not need to be so strong, but our improved M1 carbine is different, it is really fully automatic, and under the continuous impact of the high temperature and high pressure generated by the bullet launch, the barrel of the 38 big cover naturally can't withstand it, but on the whole, we have done a good job!"

Bai Yi listened to Chen Yaoyang's words, while unscrewing the kettle he carried, and drank a big sip, after Chen Yaoyang finished speaking, Bai Yi sighed: "It's good, but it's too troublesome, it's completely handmade, even if we take the shit luck, there is a skilled master like Master Lei in Baiyun Factory, otherwise, even if we have this mind, we can't do it!" ”

Bai Yi's mouth of Master Lei's name is Lei Quan, is the old fitter of Baiyun Factory, starting from the apprentice of the warlord period, Master Lei step by step, the fitter technology of one hand to practice like fire and pure love, because he does not use measuring tools, only with the right hand to touch the parts can accurately judge the processing accuracy of the parts, so the workers gave him the nickname "Lei Right Hand".

Not only that, Master Lei is also very national, during the Japanese occupation because of the refusal to cooperate with the Japanese, was subjected to crazy retaliation, three children were killed by the Japanese army, and his proud right hand, but also let the Japanese puppet spies find opportunities to be disabled, completely abolished, is to wait for the Northeast to recover, the name of "Lei Right Hand" has long been unworthy of the name.

The national government saw that it was a wasted person, so it no longer reused, but what few people know is that when Lei Quan learned the fitter skills, not only practiced the right hand, his left hand was not slack, and his skills were not much worse than the right hand in a few years, but they were not very commonly used, so that others did not know.

Lei Quan, who had gone through many hardships and had already seen through the world, had already planned to collect the mountain for retirement, but he did not expect that the People's Liberation Army would take the Baiyun Factory with lightning speed, and immediately launched a rectification campaign, and a master like him was even more generously treated.

This made Lei Quan flattered, because in his memory, although the work of these workers was not bad, they were hard and vigorous after all, and the fate of their lives was in the hands of the foreman and the factory owner. What's more, he is still disabled, and it is impossible for him to be treated like a master.

But in fact, what he thought was impossible, completely became a reality, although Lei Quan had heard about the liberation of the man turned over to be the master, but he was skeptical, until after personal experience, he found that the new society is different, not only to eat, clothe, but also to live with dignity, under infinite gratitude, Lei Quan immediately dispelled the idea of pension, completely put down the burden, with a new mental outlook into production, only half a year, Lei Quan let his leader of the fitter class become an excellent team in Baiyun Factory.

A few days ago, Bai Yi was introduced by an old acquaintance Wang Dehua, found Lei Quan, and when he heard that he wanted to build Chinese's own automatic rifle, Master Lei didn't say a word, directly patted his chest to give the processing to the next, and personally went into battle to process the parts needed to improve the firearms, although Master Lei was disabled, his technology was still exquisite, and the precision processing of the parts was so high that even Bai Yi, who had crossed through in his previous life, couldn't help but admire.

"Yes, if you want to roll out the improved M1 carbine on a large scale, it is not possible to do without supporting large-scale industrial production equipment and related processes, although Master Lei is skilled, and the work in his hands is also superb, but his personal ability is limited after all!" Chen Yaoyang also sighed with emotion.

Like Bai Yi, it is indeed very happy to complete the improvement and manufacture of the M1 carbine, but in addition to being happy, there is a deep helplessness, they have built the gun, but basically it is done by Master Lei, not that they don't want to use mechanical equipment, but the mechanical equipment owned by Baiyun Factory really can't meet the requirements.

Not to mention anything else, just improving the 6.5mm barrel air guide hole of the M1 carbine made Bai Yi and Chen Yaoyang almost sad to death, this small air conduction process hole, maybe it is nothing in developed countries, ordinary workers can punch out a drilling machine, but in Baiyun Factory, it is a big problem.

Let's not talk about whether the punching machine is good or bad, just say that the drill bit above has long been aged, and it is difficult to drill an ordinary screw hole, not to mention the air guide hole with extremely high precision and process requirements, not to mention that the punching machine that has been in disrepair for a long time has long been on the edge of scrapping.

In the end, there was no way, or Master Lei personally went out and used the most primitive manual drill bit to hit four barrels, otherwise not to mention the others, just a small hole can make Bai Yi's gun-making plan stillborn, so although the improvement of firearms has been realized, Bai Yi and Chen Yaoyang are not happy, China's industrial base is too weak!

"There is a long way to go, and the burden on our shoulders is not light!" Bai Yi exhaled a long breath, then turned his head to look at the magazine in Chen Yaoyang's backpack, and asked, "By the way, how many bullets do we have?" ”

"Less than 300 rounds! Technician Wang hurriedly made more than 500 rounds, but he still couldn't withstand the consumption, and there was no way that the material of the mold was not up to par. ”

Chen Yaoyang couldn't help but smile a little bitterly, guns are difficult to make, and bullets are not difficult, although with Bai Yi's efforts, make full use of the mature structure to optimize the new 6.5mm bullet, but because of materials, technology and even process reasons, the processing speed of bullets can only be maintained at a minimum level.

Wang Dehua, who is in charge of the technical processing of bullets, can be said to have racked his brains and exerted his strength to make more than 500 rounds of new 6.5mm bullets, but Bai Yi did not arrive for a few hours, and more than 100 rounds were fired, this is just one person, if the M1 carbine of the whole army is like this, what a terrible consumption it will be?

Bai Yi also knew the pros and cons of this, so he was ready to pull Chen Yaoyang to sit down and think of a way to see if the problem of abrasives for bullet processing could be solved first, but before he could speak, Lao Ge ran over with a snort, and saw that Bai Yi and Chen Yaoyang did not greet each other, and said directly and solemnly: "Lao Bai, the opportunity you are looking forward to has come......
