Chapter 35 Arsenals
Qin Tian originally thought that Bertrand's military factory was an underground factory specializing in the production of inferior equipment, but he didn't expect to find out that this was not the case after seeing it.
The factory is next to the "Altran", which is in fact part of the "Altran", except that there is a gate inside and it is guarded by armed men and set up as a restricted area, which is not allowed to be approached by ordinary people.
"We don't really need to be so secretive!" "Because it's not illegal in Somalia, but it's ......"
Bertrand lowered his voice and said: "If you don't expose your wealth, let others know that 'Altrand' has a firearms production line, and many people will fight our idea!" ”
Qin Tian understood what Bertrand meant.
A firearms production line, which is a great asset in Somalia, and even the local warlords will be jealous, this "camel" is not something that more than 100 private armed forces can hold.
"So, how do you make sure that the workers don't speak out?" Qin Tian asked.
Bertrand walked into the factory with Qin Tian and replied with his hands: "This is the guarantee!" ”
At first, Qin Tian didn't understand what Bertrand meant, but after a few more glances, he understood...... There are Vietnamese, Thai, French, but there are no Somalis working in the factory.
"They are migrant workers that I brought from abroad, and some of them are technicians hired from France!" "They don't speak the language of the locals, and the most important thing is that they don't have anything to go out of, which means ...... They stay here all year round, and we'll send someone to put them on a plane when we get home! ”
Qin Tian couldn't help but nodded, this is a good way.
In this way, the workers did not have the opportunity to say anything, even if they wanted to, and the outside world always thought that "Altrand" was transporting in and out of the raw materials and finished products for the production of gypsum.
The rifle produced was AK47.
There is no doubt about this, because Africa has the largest number of people using AK47s, even to the point where other firearms are difficult to access...... For example, with an American rifle, the enemy's firearms and ammunition cannot be used if they are captured.
As the saying goes, "demand determines the market", if you want to make money, of course, you need to produce AK47.
"Doctor!" As he walked, Bertrand beckoned to an old man who was discussing something with a technician.
The old man explained to the technician a few times, and then greeted him.
"Monsieur Bertrand!" The old man politely shook Bertrand's hand.
"Introduction!" Bertrand said to Qin Tian: "This is Dr. Briss, who is in charge of firearms production, I helped him solve a little trouble, so I invited him to work here!" ”
In fact, there was no need for Bertrand's introduction, Qin Tian immediately found out that the old man in front of him was a small arms fitter who graduated from the French Higher School of Engineering and Technology. Etienne, the company that produces the French assault rifle FAMAS.
Qin Tian even found out what Bertrand said about "solving a little trouble...... That was actually a trap set by Bertrand, so that the underworld set a trap for Briss, and then Bertrand came forward to solve the problem, so Briss owed this favor.
After knowing this, Qin Tian couldn't help but glance at Bertrand, and secretly said that this guy still has some means.
"Hello, Doctor!" Qin Tian stepped forward to shake hands with Bliss.
"This is our new president, Qin!" Bertrand introduced.
Bliss couldn't help but be stunned, he looked at Bertrand and then at Qin Tian suspiciously, as if he didn't believe that he would "change the sky" so quickly.
But soon Bliss reacted, and he said with some embarrassment, "It's an honor to meet you, Qin." I beg your pardon for being so young...... I was a little surprised! ”
"It's okay!" Qin Tian said.
"Doctor!" Bertrand said, "Can you tell our new president about everything here?" ”
"Of course!" Bliss said and led the two forward: "This part of the area where we are is a parts production area, where parts are produced and inspected and sorted, and then enter the assembly room for further processing and assembly!" ”
Needless to say, why it should be classified, good quality should be sold more expensive or for your own use, and poor quality should be sold cheaply, anyway, Africans usually don't care about this.
"The ...... in front"
"That's the barrel production workshop!" Bliss replied: "The barrel is the most difficult and important part of a gun, it directly determines the life and performance of the gun, so we arranged it in a separate workshop!" ”
"That's the point, Qin!" Bertrand interjected with some smugness: "That's what I bought from a Russian at a high price, a barrel forging machine!" ”
Originally, Qin Tian didn't know what the barrel forging machine was, but after having the quantum chip, there was almost nothing he didn't know.
In the next second, Qin Tian understood...... This is a machine tool that shapes the rifling inside the barrel in one go.
To put it simply, it is to insert a mandrel with reverse rifling into a barrel that has not yet been rifled, and then the mandrel is struck externally with five special hammers at a high frequency while advancing, and when it comes out, the rifling of the barrel is engraved.
"The barrel chamber forged with a precision forging machine has higher dimensional accuracy!" "IT CAN REACH A TOLERANCE OF 0.03MM, RIGHT, DOCTOR?" ”
"It's the yin-yang line diameter tolerance, Mr. Bertrand!" Bliss said.
"Yes, that's what I'm talking about!" As if Columbus had discovered the New World, Bertrand continued: "The barrels produced by others do not have this accuracy, which is one of the reasons for the popularity of our rifles......"
QIN TIAN CASUALLY PICKED UP A GUN BARREL AND AIMED AT IT, AND THEN SAID, "IT'S 0.06MM, BET!" ”
"What? Are you kidding! ”
QIN TIAN ONLY REALIZED AT THIS TIME THAT HE HAD LEAKED HIS MOUTH, AND THE HUMAN EYE WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO DETECT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 0.03MM AND 0.06MM.
So Qin Tian hurriedly explained: "I guessed! ”
"No, no!" Bliss looked at Qin Tian with shocked eyes and said, "You're right, I just wanted to say this, there is something wrong with the precision forging machine, and we can't guarantee the original accuracy." It does have a tolerance of 0.06...... But how do you know? ”
"I just said it, I guess!" Qin Tian replied.
"But why don't you guess 0.05 or 0.07!" Bertrand asked, "Or is it some other number, it's 0.06?!" ”
"Maybe it's because it's a good number!" Qin Tian replied.
Because he didn't want to dwell on this issue for too long, Qin Tian said to Bliss, "It's a pleasure to meet you, doctor. I think it's time for us to go back! ”
"Of course, Qin!" "But ......," said Briss.
"I think you should probably check out the mandrels!" Qin Tian turned around and left with Bertrand.
After Qin Tian left, Bliss was stunned for a while, and then asked someone to open the precision forging machine to check the mandrel rod, and was stunned to find that there was a missing hole on it...... This surprised Bliss so much that he couldn't speak for a long time.
