Chapter 28: Making Weapons (Asking for Collection Recommendations)
After May Day, under the authorization of the Executive Committee, the military industrial group of the Chang'an base was officially established, and members Xu Renguo and Wang Tiehammer served as part-time consultants to the group. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The reason why only the two of them became part-time consultants is not because they are too strong, but because it is related to their identity, Xu Renguo has worked in the army all his life, and it can be said that the chance of touching a gun is almost a hundred times that of ordinary people, and Wang Tiezhu also served in the navy for a period of time before retiring.
Therefore, the identity of these two part-time advisers was not opposed by other committee members, and the consultant was not the main person in charge, but was equivalent to a think tank, giving a suggestion or giving some guidance when the military industrial group conducted a certain study.
The military-industrial group has been established, but when it comes to real military talents, there is still a great lack of them, otherwise it would be impossible for them to serve as consultants.
The person in charge of the military industrial team is called Lu Yuan, a middle-aged man in his thirties, who actually had nothing to do with weapons manufacturing in his previous career, but he was a chemical researcher.
It's okay for a chemical researcher to make some gunpowder, and this guy volunteered that he is an ancestral gunpowder family, and it is said that his ancestors have made fireworks for six generations, so it can be said that he will get these things when he is born.
In order to prove that he could serve as the leader of the military industrial team, Lu Yuan entrusted Shi Nan to find a few key ores for himself, and then used a simple grinding configuration to finally find an empty can, and used lamp grass as a lead to successfully make a small grenade.
To be precise, this thing can't be called a grenade, the grenade is more advanced than him, as long as people pull the hidden letter, it will explode, he belongs to a big firecracker at most, but it is said that it is a firecracker, and its power is indeed not small. The fifty-centimeter-deep pit in the ground alone says it all, and this thing is still powerful.
So Lu Yuan was honored to be selected, because there was really no one else who could make this thing except him, at least he assured the committee members that as long as he was given some more time, he could improve this firecracker, that is, improve it into the kind of grenade that explodes when pulled.
Grenades, this thing is a good thing, and in the absence of machine guns and cannons, this thing can be used to great power on the battlefield.
So Xu Renguo waved his hand and officially appointed Lu Yuan as the leader of the military industrial team, asking him not to make a grenade to pop out, but also to get the flintlock pistol out, guns and these weapons are very important, don't look at the current time and space in the hands of the traversers, but the number of these weapons is limited, it is impossible to maintain the consumption, and as the more times the traversal goes out, the more the number of possible consumption will be, and it is important to get a batch of weapons that can replace the current use as soon as possible.
It is not difficult to make a flintlock pistol, Lu Yuan has studied this thing before, and successfully made one, and it can hit more than a hundred meters away.
The main materials of the flintlock pistol are these things, a flint, a trigger, some gunpowder, and a barrel, mainly because the barrel is difficult to get, because the barrel manufacturing involves material science, that is to say, the steel pipe you make must ensure that it will not explode after filling the ammunition.
In the history of the use of early muskets, there are many cases of explosion injuries to the user, so when the musket is first made, it is generally rarely used, in addition to the trouble of loading ammunition and the shooting distance is not far, it is difficult to guarantee the safety factor.
By the 17th century, however, the safety of muskets had been greatly improved, and at least the occurrence of boreholes had been relatively rare.
Lu Yuan promised that as long as he was given materials, he would definitely be able to get guns, and he would not be able to give up his position in the military industrial group by himself. This guarantee made Xu Renguo very happy, he was born in the military and paid attention to this kind of guy who dared to give military orders.
Although it is a good thing to dare to make a military order, but the blast furnace of this steel plant has not yet been built, isn't your military order embarrassing?
There is no way, Jiang Haokun, who is in charge of the construction of the steel plant, can only get a few tongs out of the pot first, get the iron out, and if you want to get this thing, you have to find clay graphite, etc., but fortunately, there is a geographical madness Shi Nan, this guy finally did not disappoint, found these materials around the base and brought them back, and handed them to Jiang Haokun.
The materials are available, just wait for Jiang Haokun to get things out, and Lu Yuan can do other things next.
The problem of the two of them is solved, but a new problem has come, with the start of each team, in addition to the technical problems is the problem of manpower, which has seriously affected the problem of starting construction.
In particular, the infrastructure group and the ore mining group are the most serious, the ore group is responsible for mining, a team of less than 100 people are distributed on several construction sites to work, in addition to knocking down the ore to crush, but also to transport things back to the base, this time and again in addition to the tiredness, that is, the progress is very slow, and the mined things are not enough for other teams to start work.
Each team complained to each other that the other had affected their own progress and needed to be responsible for the delayed construction period.
This can make some of the groups in charge of raw materials angry, why, we are just a few people, a pair of hands, can we come over, you sit and wait for things, and you still blame us, it's not fair.
"Xiao Wu, you give us a comment on this matter, why should we take the blame, we don't carry this pot."
Chen Jun, who was in charge of mining ore, pulled Wu Zhengdao angrily and pointed at some incompetent guys who accused their mining team.
Chen Jun is a few years older than Wu Zhengdao, so he calls him Xiao Wu, and the two of them usually don't communicate much, which is usually a matter of work.
At this time, Wu Zhengdao looked at the two sides, this question is actually not easy to say, and it is not good to be thin on anyone, if this is thin on which side, it will be difficult for him to do his work in the future, he is doing coordination work, and he must be fair and smooth.
"Everyone is discouraged, this matter is actually to blame our decision-making group, the work is not in place, we have begun to notice the problem of manpower shortage, everyone should not blame each other, just wait a few days, just live a few days, and then you will definitely solve your respective problems, all for work, peace of mind."
As soon as Wu Zhengdao opened his mouth, he first pushed the problem to the decision-making group of the Executive Committee, and then told everyone to wait patiently, in fact, the problem has been solved, and it is useless for you to accuse each other.
"So the Army is already on the move." Chen Jun asked with a puzzled face, he had already introduced a plan to help local residents before, to put it bluntly, it was to arrest free labor, but after a few days, there has been no movement, so everyone has not let go of their hearts, this will listen to Wu Zhengdao's meaning, they are already in action, and judging from the fact that the twenty army guys have disappeared from the Chang'an base for a few days, there is indeed such a possibility.
