Li Zhigao's arsenal is located in a core industrial area between Ma'anshan and Ma'anshan Port, and the core industrial zone is not far from the No. 1 military camp, if you drive along the road, it only takes half an hour to arrive.

When he came to the periphery of the factory, Yin Ruizhi could see that the security measures here were stronger, and everything was brightly lit.

The reason why it is said that the lights are bright is that there are many street lights on both sides of the road, although the night has fallen, but when the street lights are all turned on, the car can see the road very clearly even if the lights are not turned on.

As for the factory area, it is difficult to see from the outside, because at the end of the road is a tall wall, estimated to be three meters high, and there are many searchlights on the wall, and there are more street lights below.

Within a hundred meters of the perimeter of the wall, there are trenches, barbed wire and sandbags everywhere, there are many soldiers with guns behind the fortifications, and you can also find a lot of heavy weapons like machine guns, even on the wall, although there are not many lights, the vision is a little dark, but you can also see a lot of soldiers and fire points, it is obvious that it looks heavily guarded.

On the way here, Yin Ruizhi had already found that there were sentry posts on both sides of the road to the factory at intervals, and each sentry had three soldiers standing guard, and there were many patrol groups of three people outside the road, with lanterns and dogs.

In short, within 100 meters around the wall, a brightly lit and heavily guarded area, a hundred meters away on the road is also brightly lit, and there are many dark sentinels and patrol groups outside the range of lights.

According to Li Zhigao, this industrial zone, because it involves a lot of secrets, belongs to the first-class security zone, which means that if someone is found to be illegally approaching within 100 meters of the fence without normal means, they can shoot without warning. The reason why there is such a provision is because this industrial zone itself has been surrounded by secondary security areas such as military barracks and ordinary industrial areas, which belong to the real core area, and anyone who wants to enter here must pass through the surrounding secondary security area, and if a stranger is not found in the secondary security area, then there is a real problem, and there is no big problem to shoot immediately.

Of course, generally speaking, as long as you don't have ulterior motives, you won't be injured by mistake, because if you really go the wrong way, before approaching the factory, you will be discovered by the patrol team, and then dissuaded, if you are not found by the patrol team, close to a hundred meters, then you will also be found by the people at the guard post, and dissuade again, if you don't find it in both aspects, then you are the real problematic person, and there is nothing wrong with shooting.

Not to mention anything else, it's just that this kind of security has greatly increased Yin Ruizhi's interest, after all, with this kind of vigilance, what kind of secrets will the factory become.

After passing all the way, and finally entering the wall, I found that there was also a wide cement road behind the wall, and there were street lights next to it, but the lights were not as bright as the road before, but I could see the road clearly, which was completely different from being as bright as day.

Similarly, on both sides of the road inside the wall, there are also many soldiers patrolling in groups of three, but there are not as many as outside the wall, according to Li Zhigao's words, he is tight on the outside and loose on the inside, and it is difficult to get in, but after coming in, there are not so many soldiers, this is to make the staff of the factory more relaxed psychologically.

It can be seen that there are rows of houses on both sides of the road, these houses are strange bungalows, these bungalows are simple and simple, it is obvious that these houses are the board house workshop built by Li Zhigao.

The convoy continued to walk, and walked for about ten minutes before coming to a huge board room workshop, and then Li Zhigao took Yin Ruizhi to get out of the car, and after passing through many checkpoints, he entered the workshop under the guidance of three middle-aged people wearing blue work clothes.

As soon as he entered the workshop, before he heard anything, Yin Ruizhi was immediately shocked by the scene inside!

The space in the workshop is very large, and the ceiling is full of white lights that can emit white light, illuminating the whole workshop as bright as day, and in the workshop, there are huge machines everywhere, and there are many workers in blue overalls who are busy during the period, but it feels much smaller.

The outside of the workshop is not obvious, but once you enter the workshop, the noise of various machines is mixed together, so that if you don't speak loudly, you can't hear what the other party is saying at all.

Because it was difficult to speak here, the group then went to the factory director's office, where the noise was much quieter, and then Li Zhigao began to ask, and the factory director surnamed Ye began to answer one by one.

After waiting for the question, Li Zhigao turned his head to look at Yin Ruizhi and found that she was still looking out through the glass window, and seemed to be very interested in the outside of the workshop.

"How's it going, how do you feel?" Li Zhigao asked with a smile.

"It's big, it's magnificent." Yin Ruizhi pointed to the guns on a conveyor belt, "If I'm not mistaken, you are a factory that produces firearms, right?" ”

"That's right." Li Zhigao nodded, "This is the production line for the production of firearms." ”

"It's not quite what I imagined." Yin Ruizhi frowned, "Is the production of firearms so simple?" Just walk around from beginning to end and come out? ”

"Gun production isn't that simple." Li Zhigao smiled, "The reason why you look simple is because I have a very high degree of automation here, and all the processes are modularly automated, which makes it look as simple as assembly work." ”

Indeed, Li Zhigao's production lines here are all complete set of automated production lines customized from South Africa, which are specialized in the production of firearms, all CNC machine tools and automated controllers, simplifying the production process, and there are few places that require labor.

Don't look at South Africa as an African country, the number of troops is not large, but South Africa's military production is world-famous, especially in the manufacture of light weapons, it is among the best, at least in terms of the degree of automation of the production line, it is stronger than China, and the technology can be comparable to that of the United States.

Of course, the most important point is that in South Africa you can buy everything as long as you have money, even the military production line is effortless.

To say that in the past, it was inconceivable to buy military production lines in South Africa, but since the blacks took power, white South Africans have been greatly suppressed, and the main factories in South Africa, such as military factories and the like, are dominated by whites, and many of South Africa's military factories are private, so a relatively chaotic situation has been formed, that is, as long as you have money, if you don't go out of South Africa, you can buy the production line.

In view of this situation, the South African government has no good way but to work on the path, that is, to strengthen the management and vigilance of entry and exit, and strictly prevent arms smuggling. Although arms smuggling is difficult to control completely, it is relatively simple to stop the production lines, which are not so easy to get out.

But Li Zhigao is different, he has a ring, and he doesn't need to ship it out at all, he only needs to spend money to buy a production line, and then put it in his warehouse, and then bring it here as soon as it is collected.

The production line is bought, and then people prepare explanatory materials and record videos in advance, put subtitles, and then let the workers here see and learn by themselves.

There are ready-made materials and instructional videos, and there are ready-made production lines, raw materials are transported from modern society, such as seamless steel pipes, etc., and other accessories such as wooden butts are produced here, so that with modern production lines with CNC machine tools, it is trivial to produce formal rifles.

However, after all, I was not familiar with it before, many workers were groping while producing, and the production capacity was not high, that is, in the recent period, it was only a little bit of a doorway to be able to use this production line more proficiently, so the production capacity has increased rapidly.

Sure enough, Li Zhigao soon took Yin Ruizhi out of the factory director's office, and under the leadership of Director Ye, he began to visit the production line here to observe how a rifle is produced up close.

In fact, the most critical part of a rifle is rifling, and there are several methods of manufacturing rifling in modern times - cutting method, die top drawing method, and cold forging method.

Among them, the cutting method is mainly single-point hook cutting method and multi-point broaching method, these processes are the earliest, single-point hook cutting method is mostly a small workshop, the general military factory has long been used, and the general is the multi-point broaching method. For example, at the beginning of the twentieth century, the military rifles of the great powers were mainly rifled by the multi-point broaching method, and even after the Germans invented the hammer forging method, many guns were produced in large quantities using this method.

The hammer forging method, also known as the cold forging method, was invented in Germany in the 1930s and is mostly used to make polygonal rifling, which is suitable for mass production of barrels. Its method is to drill a hole slightly larger than the diameter of the barrel of the barrel, put a high-hardness mold rod that is opposite to the shape of the barrel and runs through the whole barrel in the hole, and then hammer it with a machine outside the barrel to squeeze the steel into close to the mold rod, and then pull out the mold rod, and the protruding place of the mold rod becomes a rifling line. This method requires a huge amount of money to be invested in the initial stage, but the production speed is fast and the cost is low, so the emergence of this method has made a leap forward in rifling production and indirectly promoted the great progress of weapons. Of course, in 1910, this method had not yet been invented.

The die head drawing method is a rifling method invented by Mike Walker, an engineer at Remington Company in the United States, in the 1950s. The method is to first drill a hole slightly smaller than the bore diameter of the barrel, and then use a high-hardness die with a protrusion corresponding to the rifling wire, and use a high-pressure machine to turn and press down from the hole to squeeze the steel into a rifling and a male chamber. This method of rifling is faster, less expensive, and more accurate than hammer forging, and most modern barrels are made by this method.

Obviously, Li Zhigao's firearms production line uses the die head pulling method, which is also the most advanced method.

Under the leadership of the factory director and Li Zhigao, Yin Ruizhi watched the entire rifle production process from the beginning, and was shocked by the power of these machines after seeing it.

I saw that the first row of steel pipes automatically fell, and then there was a special machine to pull the rifling, the speed of the machine rifling is very fast, but more than ten seconds can automatically pull the rifling, after the rifling is pulled, the barrel is automatically sent away by the conveyor belt, and the assembly process below begins.

After that, I saw that there were many workers on both sides of the conveyor belt, and they began to nervously assemble various accessories, and the workers in each position were only doing one assembly action, that is, only one component was assembled, and after assembling a part, the semi-finished products would continue to be placed on another conveyor belt and transferred to the next process, where another group of workers would assemble other parts.

In short, Yin Ruizhi can see that this production line is mainly rifling-based, and the barrel of the rifled will be distributed to the hands of each assembly team on the conveyor belt, and the various production teams will assemble a brand-new rifle, and the entire first-class waterline will be made.

According to Director Ye's explanation, there are a total of 15 assembly teams on this production line, each assembly team has 32 people, and the time to assemble a rifle is half an hour, which is still because the workers are not very skilled, if they are proficient, the time can be shortened to 15 minutes or even less.

Half an hour for a rifle, how terrifying is that? Although it's only assembly time here, the other firearm parts have to be produced separately, and it's relatively simple to tether the rifle, but it's scary enough!

"Isn't one rifle in half an hour capable of producing 48 rifles in a day?" Yin Ruizhi asked, "Isn't your fifteen teams here able to produce 720 rifles a day?" ”

"Theoretically, that's so." Director Ye shook his head, "But at present, our workers are not skilled in technology, and the labor intensity of this kind of work is very high, and the workers need to rest, even if we work in three shifts, it is impossible to fully achieve this theoretical speed, even if it is done, there may be problems in quality, and quality problems are absolutely not allowed." Therefore, what we stipulate is that the production plan of each production team is 30 rifles a day, and it is enough to complete the plan, and there will be rewards for excess, but the quality and quantity must be guaranteed. ”

"A group produces thirty rifles a day, and that fifteen teams aren't four hundred and fifty guns?"

"That's right." Director Ye nodded, "As you can see, the production speed of the barrel is much faster than that of the gun, and the most important component of a rifle is the barrel, and the most important process is rifling." We don't have to produce our own barrel at present, and with this machine, the most complex process of rifling has become the simplest thing, with the barrel of rifling, other accessories are not so complicated, not to mention that we also have a special machine to produce accessories, and the speed is also one top one fast. Therefore, it is actually our assembly speed that restricts the speed of gun production, not the speed of spare parts production. ”

Indeed, Director Ye is not wrong, the most important part of a rifle is the barrel, and rifling is also one of the most important processes, especially for this kind of rifle, this process is the most important.

Li Zhigao got this set of machines for the production of firearms, the most important thing is the rifling machine, this machine uses the die head top drawing method, and it is a fully automated CNC machine tool, and there is no need for people to work in the middle, to ensure the maximum accuracy, that is to say, the rifling drawn by this machine is absolutely the first in the world, and the yield rate is amazing.

As for the other accessories of firearms, there are various machine tools to serve, and the workers only need to design according to the drawings and put the raw materials imported by Li Zhigao from modern society on the machine tools and make them according to the instructions, which does not have much technical content at all.

Then these accessories will be transported to the assembly line, assembled by the assembly team, and the assembly team is also an assembly line for play, in this regard, practice can only make perfect.

"We're still too few people." The director of the Ye factory is still sighing, "In terms of parts production, we have advanced machine support, which is not a problem, but in terms of assembly, we must rely on manual work to do it little by little, but unfortunately we really don't have more skilled workers, so we have to slow down the production speed." If the production group is increased, the number of workers is increased, the proficiency of the workers is strengthened, then it is completely possible to increase the pace of production of rifles. It can be said that as long as there are enough assembly teams, we can completely match the production speed of guns with the production speed of gun barrels, and we dare not say that a gun in tens of seconds is a gun, but it is completely possible to do a gun in a minute, but the number of workers required is too much.

"A gun a minute?" Yin Ruizhi was a little dumbfounded.

"Okay, don't listen to his nonsense, that's just a theoretical production rate." Li Zhigao interjected with a smile, "In fact, when a rifle is produced, it has to go through strict testing to select a qualified rifle, and it is not delivered so quickly." ”

"Then, that ......" Yin Ruizhi, who was shocked, was stunned, and then asked Director Ye, "Then tell you the truth, how many qualified rifles can your arsenal produce in a day?" ”

"This ......" Director Ye looked at Li Zhigao, and after finding that the other party nodded, he continued to answer, "At present, our No. 1 workshop works three shifts a day, and even if we add the later gun testing, we can produce at least four hundred qualified rifles a day." ”

"Four hundred a day!" Yin Ruizhi nodded, "12,000 rifles a month?" This speed is comparable to the arsenals of the Western powers. ”

"Hehe, it's not as good as it is at the moment." Li Zhigao smiled, "However, that's because the arsenals of the Western powers are larger than mine, there are more workers than me, and my production capacity has not completely exploded. No way, this is the generation gap in technology. ”

Seeing Li Zhigao so proud, Yin Ruizhi was speechless for a while, she really didn't know what to say.

"Actually, it's just a production line for producing rifles, so it's not that complicated." Li Zhigao continued, "Firearms are easy to produce, but bullets are difficult to produce, you come with me, I will show you our bullet production line, that is really shocking." ”

Next, Li Zhigao and Director Ye went to another workshop, where there were more and more complex machines, but there were fewer workers than the rifle workshop.

"This is the bullet production line." Li Zhigao gestured with his hand, and then said proudly, "See, I have a fully automatic production line here, specializing in the production of M43 bullets, uh, that is, the 7.62*39mm bullets used in Chinese formal rifles." ”

Watching the pile of yellow-orange-orange bullets fall from a conveyor belt, and then be scooped up and inspected by the workers, and then packaged into the bullet box, Yin Ruizhi was stunned again, not knowing how to describe it at all.

Indeed, the production process of bullets is more complex than the process of firearms, and there are more processes, taking the M43 bullet produced by Li Zhigao, or the 56 type bullet as an example, it is really decomposed, and the bullet shell alone has 37 processes, but later after improvement, it has been simplified to 23 processes, as for the bullet, it used to be 43 processes, and now there are 15 processes, plus assembly, picking and other processes, that is to say, in this production line, a bullet all processes are a total of 87.

Of course, because there is a ready-made production line, plus there are raw materials imported from modern times, although the production process of bullets is more complicated, there are not many places that need to be manually cooked, and what workers can do is nothing more than timely replenishment of raw materials and maintenance of the production line.

Among them, in the process of bullet production, the labor intensity of workers is the largest, is the final sorting process, that is, after the bullet is completely produced, the worker has to compete with the quality of the bullet and the shape of the bullet, which is commonly known as weighing and closing, this process is completed on the weighing and closing, all of which are manual visual inspection and manual weighing, the purpose of which is to timely remove the quality and bullet shape of the bullet that does not meet the requirements, and achieve a 100% pass rate of the gun ejection factory.

Suffice it to say that without modern production lines and raw materials imported from Hyundai, it would have been absolutely not so easy to produce qualified bullets so quickly.

"How many bullets can you produce in a day?" Yin Ruizhi simply asked her if she could understand.

"My production line, if it runs at full capacity and ensures the supply of raw materials, it can produce at least 100,000 rounds of ammunition a day." Li Zhigao smiled, "But there is no need to drive at full power at present, as long as you guarantee the production of 50,000 rounds of ammunition a day." ”

"Fifty thousand rounds? So much? Yin Ruizhi exclaimed.

"What's this, it's just drizzle." Li Zhigao smiled.

If you don't pay much attention to the detection of bullets, relax the checks and reduce the yield rate, then the output exceeds 200,000 rounds of production is no problem, this is still an ordinary production line imported, not a large one. In fact, not to mention the modern production line, even in the Republic of China era, Yan Xishan's arsenal in the twenties, a bullet production line in that factory could produce 20,000 rounds of ammunition a day, and later Yan Xishan's arsenal could produce 4.2 million rounds of ammunition a month, which is not comparable at all.

Even in 1910, a bullet production line of the Western powers produced 350,000 rounds of ammunition a day, but of course, the quality and yield rate may not be as good as their own.

"It's still drizzle, you, this ......" Yin Ruizhi didn't know how to describe Li Zhigao's attitude at all.

"Hehe, that's scared?" Li Zhigao saw her like this, for some reason, he was in a very happy mood, and unconsciously touched his nose, "Tell you, what you see is only the rifle and bullet production line, and I still have the artillery production line." ”

"Artillery? Can you still produce artillery? ”

"Of course." Li Zhigao nodded with a smile, and then began to count his fingers, "Then, my No. 1 workshop specializes in the production of medium formal rifles, and the No. 2 workshop here specializes in the production of bullets, you have seen all of these." In addition, the No. 3 workshop specializes in the production of cannons, and currently mainly produces Type 92 infantry guns and Type 97 90mm mortars. As for workshop No. 4, it specialized in the production of artillery shells, such as those for Type 92 infantry guns, as well as shells for 90-mm mortars. In addition, I have workshop No. 5, which specializes in ship research, but at the moment it is only in the research stage, and there is no finished product, and workshop No. 6, which is for the production of aircraft, oh, by the way, they did produce a few wooden aircraft, but unfortunately I am not very satisfied, well, and ......"

"Stop, stop talking." Yin Ruizhi smiled bitterly, "I know that this factory of yours is very powerful, so there is no need to chatter anymore." ”

"How about visiting them all?" Li Zhigao smiled and said, "I guarantee to open your eyes." ”

"No need." Yin Ruizhi shook his head, "Although I don't know how the Qing court's arsenal is, it is definitely not as productive as your weapons, and the weapons are not as good as yours." You have such a strong factory, you can produce your own weapons, you have so much money, and you have so many troops, you, you are completely ......"

"Why, you want to persuade me to rebel again?" Li Zhigao smiled and shook his head, "You can also see it, I look good, but in fact, many of them are just at the beginning and are not mature at all, so now is not the time to rebel." ”

Indeed, a large part of the materials that Li Zhigao traveled back and forth every day during this period were various mechanical equipment in later generations, such as various machine tools known as industrial machine tools, and advanced CNC machine tools were directly obtained.

Although there is a full set of explanatory materials and video teaching, and especially find young, educated people to close learning, and even find a lot of technical talents such as locksmiths, blacksmiths and carpenters to join in, but after all, the technical generation gap is too big, even if these people are young enough, they know a lot, and the information is comprehensive, but it is not so simple to fully understand.

Like rifle bullets or even artillery shells, it is better to say, it depends more on the power of the machine, as long as the raw materials keep up, it is not much difficult to produce according to the ready-made drawings, but like the production of other industrial equipment, it is not possible to get it in a day or two.

All in all, even if you have the technical data and equipment of later generations, even if you do not pursue technological accumulation for the time being, and only seek to imitate it as soon as possible, you can only build a cross-era arsenal, but it is difficult to train cross-era workers and engineers all at once. That is to say, the technical equipment is easy to solve, but the workers who can eat these things can not be cultivated in a day or two, and even one or two months are enough to be cultivated, and a year or two is just reluctant, and it takes patience and time to grind slowly.

Therefore, Li Zhigao is now a typical stage of slowing down the reign of the vast accumulation of grain, and if he can have more time for development, he will have more time, and as for the rebellion, he is not in a hurry.
