Chapter 112: Firearms Production Line
The cement road from Pingshan to Fangchenggang was repaired, and the large-tonnage parts of the Fangchenggang Mauser 98 production line and the bullet production line could begin to be transferred.
The past few days have passed, and it is estimated that the machinery factory should be hoisting parts, but Hu Lin has not received a report from the guards, and he has not been able to determine, Hu Lin thought about it, the output of these two Mauser 98 production lines and a rifle production line from Germany is still too small, and most of them still need German technicians to train.
Without a large number of skilled work, and there are not enough production lines, how can this output keep up with the development of Hulin, even if these are aside, in case there is a war or something, there are not enough bullets at all, and the problem is back to square one, people and equipment.
At this point, Hu Lin has to consider that the German ** factory has already dispatched a large number of apprentices to bring them, and they also have to change their clothes as a whole, and they will no longer be willing to transfer technicians, so they can only find another way.
There is also a problem, the caliber of the Mauser 1898 rifle is 7.92mm, and the bullet used is 7.92×57mm rifle cartridge, which is designed according to the body structure of the Germans, the body of the Han and the body of the Germans are quite different, compared to the recoil of the Han rifle, the use of this original Mauser 98 rifle will increase the burden on the soldiers in battle.
Before Hu Lin was not in a position to change, now after the skilled workers began to learn, asked Germany to change the caliber to the size suitable for the Han people, in 1904 intelligence like the German Mauser company customized Mauser 1907 6.8mm rifle is quite suitable, 6.8x57mm bullets, the reduction of recoil and barrel length, but more suitable for the Han people.
These production lines only need to change the caliber, and other parts do not need to be moved, so the project is not large, and it will not take much time to modify it.
On the other hand, it is difficult to count on Germany to increase production, but it does not mean that there is no way. The last time Hu Lin and Hu Fei attended a class reunion, they acquired several companies of Hu Fei's squad leader Liu Zhuo, including two mechanical processing factories and some logistics companies.
Hulin's plan was to have the two machine shops process the main parts of the Mauser 98. With modern processing technology and efficiency, there would be no problem for a while in the absence of large-scale technicians in Pingshan in the Qing Dynasty.
The parts in the body of these guns are scattered and processed in the business, and even if modern people find out, it is not a big deal. Legally, there are only restrictions on triggers, firing pins, and barrels, which have been made in Hirayama, and there are many other parts that can be shipped to modern times in large quantities.
When Hu Lin pulls a truckload of parts back, the number of gun bodies that can be assembled is very considerable, in addition, modern steel has more options, wear resistance, yield these are not comparable to the steel of this era of the Qing Dynasty, when the time comes, the quality of these guns can be higher than that made in Germany.
As for the drawings. Germany has provided it, and it can be processed by sending a copy to modern times, and modern times can also find the drawings of these old rifles, but they cannot be produced domestically.
When there is a large number of technicians in Pingshan, they can only meet these basic configurations, and then start to work on other equipment after the quality of the number of technicians increases.
After sorting out these, Hu Lin first sent an email to Zheng Yating of Hyundai to relocate the logistics company to the town where Hyundai Cave is located, so as to cover up the traffic flow of Hu Lin's large quantities of goods in recent times, and the other two machinery companies expanded their staff by half. If the processing equipment is not enough, the equipment is also added.
After the guards went to inform Yang Zitong to come back, they confirmed that the Pingshan Machinery Factory was hoisting the rifle production line, and these equipment arrived yesterday, but there were many parts. It will also take some time to uninstall.
After Hu Lin understood, he just nodded, the time is not in a hurry, and it is not bad for a while, but the placement of the plant still needs to be considered, and Pingshan Machinery Factory is on the edge of the village. Extended part to the outer villages.
The production line from Germany must be arranged outside the storage as much as possible, otherwise so many technicians from Germany will not be able to understand too much if they know too much about what they should not know.
Fortunately, Hu Lin asked Chen Rui to rush to work in more factories, Hu Lin arranged for the guards, and informed Yang Zitong to move the three sets of production lines outside the village, and those German technicians should control the scope of activities and list them clearly in the regulations of the machinery factory.
There was no movement in the gunpowder factory under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Armaments, and when Hu Lin went to install network equipment a few days ago, Wang Lin did not report good news or anything, it seems that the time is short, and it is indeed not easy to produce results.
If you want to say a few formulas, most of the modern ones that Hu Lin can get, but what they give to Wang Lin is what they use?
Except for some formulas that are closer to this era and can be processed from gunpowder from easily extractable materials, Hu Lin really doesn't want these people to become workers, but wants them to develop into a progressive research team.
A few suggestive numbers jù hulin provide a lot and will save them a lot of detours, but even so, progress is quite slow.
Other departments are developing expansively, only Wang Lin's achievements in the gunpowder department are difficult to understand, Hu Lin naturally knows that there is too much knowledge here, even if there is Hu Lin's prompt in the formula, it is not a moment to match the formula of the ideal number jù by himself.
Moreover, this involves mineral deposits, chemistry, physics, and so on, and don't expect how fast it will be for these Taoist priests who used to be just alchemy and deceive people.
This speed makes Hu Lin have the urge to change people, there are many outstanding talents in the West in this era, if they are allowed to lead the team, I am afraid that with the help of Hu Lin's some suggestive materials, there will soon be a surprise report.
It seems that this step is indeed going to be taken, it is okay for a short time, Hu Lin can wait, the time is too long, and Hu Lin can't afford to wait. I thought about finding a time to go to the United States or Britain and France on the Qing Dynasty side to have a look, and I could catch a few useful people back.
If you want money, no problem, Hu Lin has not lacked that little welfare, if you want the environment, there is no problem, it's a big deal to recruit people to build more houses, to test equipment, the problem is not big, as long as you can get the equipment, Hu Lin can get them over, even if there is no research equipment in this era, modern can also be satisfied, and modern times have advanced equipment for more than 100 years in this era How good is needless to say......
