86_86695 Industrial products in the pre-industrial era are not as coarse as we think. This is how Wang Shuhui felt when he got the latest achievement of the Industrial Committee, the Defensive Weapons Group, a shiny and delicate revolver.

It was very easy to make muskets from the handicraft era with modern lathes and molds produced in modern society. The tolerance of dozens of cast-iron barrels can be said to be non-existent in this era. The special rifling lathes manufactured by the modern society township machinery factories can easily pull out the standard and accurate rifling for the inside of these barrels.

It is not a difficult task to manufacture the detailed and highly technical firing parts for muskets using steel molds made of excellent standards.

The making of the fire hat is not so difficult. In modern society, Wang Shuhui specially organized and established a professional industrial construction advisory group. They provided Wang Shuhui with a copy of the process of making mercury thunder acid from the Yan'an era. Wang Shuhui taught hand-in-hand and led step by step. More than a week later, the chemical team under the Industrial Committee led more than 30 firecracker craftsmen bought out from Liuyang to produce a modern standard mercuric acid cardboard shell fire cap.

After the gunpowder team under the Industrial Committee used standardized processes and modern equipment to produce granular black powder in batches. It became a matter of course to make a revolver with a paper cap, firing and firing, rifling, mini lead bullet and gunpowder.

Wang Shuhui ignored the eager expressions in the eyes of the three members of the Industrial Committee and the members of the Defensive Weapons Group. He carefully examined the polished, shiny pistol with a silver handle that looked like a work of art.

Wang Shuhui knows that in fact, this is a replica of the Colt M1851 revolver that has been finalized and matured, and was widely used in the American Civil War.

Using the modern industrial machinery manufactured in modern society and the simplified process of modern industrial manufacturing to produce this backward weapon in the early stage of industrialization actually gave Wang Shuhui a very painful feeling.

But Wang Shuhui couldn't do anything. Except that he will equip the special forces with weapons that come exclusively from modern society. He was unable to equip the regular troops of the present and future with modern rifles that had only matured in the sixties and seventies of the nineteenth century, using metal bullets.

Without an adequate number of well-trained workers, and industrial mining and metallurgical enterprises, he would not be able to provide enough ammunition even if he could produce a Bodan rifle that used metal cartridges. Not to mention the problem of industrial level, he has no way to solve it with a single metal copper material. Because China doesn't produce much copper.

Wang Shuhui fired six shots at the target 50 meters away in a row, and the smoke from the black powder smoked him enough. He then walked over to the target and carefully checked the effect of the shot. At a distance of fifty meters, there were only traces of two mini bullets on the ten-centimeter-thick plank. It is clear that at this distance, four shots missed the target.

It seems that it is a basic rule that the effective range of a revolver does not exceed thirty meters.

However, it is also normal for pistols to have a short range. He also did not expect to use a pistol as a standard weapon. Revolvers are just issued for self-defense. He ordered the Industrial Council to immediately coordinate and standardize the production of revolvers, to allocate manpower, and to organize specialized production lines.

With the experience of setting up and operating cement plants and brick and tile plants, the industrial committee members of the industrial committee have an intuitive and clear understanding of the problem of process specifications. They and the students in the training camp know that Wang Shizun has a special dedication to process specifications. No matter what you do, he requires everyone to practice and summarize the process specifications, and implement the manual system in various work.

Wang Shuhui put down his revolver and looked at the other three guns on the table.

The fact that these three guns could be made out was completely unexpected, to be honest, it was completely unexpected by Wang Shuhui. These three guns are all imitated by the working groups under the Industrial Committee, based on the rifles made by the black gun workshop brought back by Wang Shuhui from modern society.

These three rifles are actually the Enfield M1853 front-loading rifled gun, the Dresser M1841 rear-loading needle pistol, and the Chasepo rifle.

Of the three rifles, the Enfield M1853 rifle is a front-loading rifled ammunition separator rifle. The Dresser M1841 rifle and the Chasepo rifle are rear-loaded, one-piece rifles that use paper shell ammunition.

Wang Shuhui had read the production records provided by the secretary group of the Industrial Committee (two instructors and trainees). The complex bolt parts of the Dreiser M1841 rifle and the Chasebo rifle are all made by hand by several blacksmiths in the craftsman battalion, bit by bit by comparing the prototypes. The paper-shelled cartridges used in the Dreiser M1841 rifle and the Chasebo rifle were also made by several firecrackers in the craftsman's battalion according to the prototype.

In fact, Wang Shuhui has always had a disdain for craftsmen in the industrial era in his head. He thinks of them as the legendary "little collective". Wang Shuhui, who grew up in the old industrial base in Northeast China, has a strange opinion. He believes that all products produced by "small collectives" may be shoddy third-rate products.

Anyone who lives in the old industrial base of Northeast China knows that, in general, there are three types of local businesses. They are state-owned enterprises, large collectives and small collectives. Everyone knows what state-owned enterprises are. The so-called large collectives refer to the subordinate enterprises founded by state-owned enterprises. Large collectives were created mainly for the purpose of housing redundant personnel. Since the nature of his enterprise is unclear, the large collective enterprises are inferior in terms of raw materials and workers. Small collective enterprises, on the other hand, are lower-level enterprises, and the enterprises established in ordinary streets and the enterprises composed of factory families belong to small collective enterprises.

Small collective enterprises are basically made up of ordinary people with no professional training at all. In terms of the supply of raw materials, it is inferior to large collective enterprises. In addition, the workers of small collective enterprises are generally low, so they are guided, and small collective enterprises, whether it is the management of the enterprise or the products they produce, are in a state of blind and unqualified shoddy work.

In Wang Shuhui's upbringing, he often heard the views of state-owned enterprise workers in Northeast China on the contempt of small collective enterprises. For example, when he was eating at a neighborhood house, he often heard that once a housewife bought a bad quality of daily necessities, the male owner would ask her if she had bought something from a small group. For another example, a worker in a state-owned enterprise in Northeast China, when he sees a very bad actor or host on TV, he will say, "This kid/this girl, come out of the group." ”

In Wang Shuhui's understanding, the craftsmen of ancient society were actually the kind of small collective workers who specialized in the production of shoddy and substandard products.

Now these "small collective" workers, using advanced tools and lathes, actually produced epoch-making, rear-loading, one-piece ammunition, rifles in the mid-to-late 19th century, Wang Shuhui is indeed quite surprised.

However, he did not put this kind of love out. He first picked up the Enfield M1853 front-loading rifled gun, which is the representative of the Mini rifle, and after carefully observing all the details of the whole rifle, he followed the steps of using the Nimi rifle and erected the rifle first. Then, pick up a small packet wrapped in oiled paper and bite it open. Fill the barrel with the fixed black granular gunpowder and one mini round in the packet.

Using a push rod to push the Mini bullet into the barrel was not as difficult as Wang Shuhui imagined. It's a bit of an obstruction, but because the caliber of the Mini bullet is actually smaller than the barrel, it's easy to push the bullet in with a pusher.

After that, Wang Shuhui picked up the rifle, broke the bolt, added a paper fire cap to the anvil, aimed at the target 500 meters away, and pulled the trigger.

Because it uses granulated black powder, this imitation of the Enfield M1853 does not have much of a backseat problem. It's just that the black smoke coming out of the black powder made Wang Shuhui quite uncomfortable. The target from 500 meters away was easily shot. In the back, the shooting of the hammered cotton jacket and iron plate is actually yàn, and the effect is also quite good.

After test-firing replicas of the Dresser M1841 rifle and the Chasebo rifle, Wang Shuhui realized that it was quite unrealistic to use these two rifles to equip the troops. On the one hand, there is the difficulty of making zuò. The firing mechanism of both rifles is simply too complicated. In order to be able to manufacture these two rifles in batches, it is necessary to fully develop the construction of the steel industry and the metal processing industry. On the other hand, in terms of use and maintenance, there are many problems in letting the ancients of this era use and maintain.

After Wang Shuhui finished shooting, he convened a plenary meeting on industrial work.

He issued three orders at the meeting:

First, all the people who make the four muskets will be rewarded. The main craftsmen who participated in the system were all rated as fourth-level craftsmen according to the newly issued "Grading Manual". Each person will be rewarded with twenty taels (twenty silver dollars) in cash.

Second, the training battalion assisted the industrial group in immediately beginning to keep a strict normative record of the processes and processes of making the four muskets. After the written materials are formed, they are sent to the Archives Section of the camp for archiving.

Third, the production process of the "Fuxing I" rifle (Enfield M1853 front-loading rifled gun) was immediately standardized. The Industrial Committee was ordered to make a plan for the construction of a rifle factory in accordance with the production process.

At this meeting, Wang Shuhui put forward a plan for setting up an industrial planning group. The members of the Industrial Planning Team are mainly the trainees of the camp training camp. The main work of the industrial planning team is to record the production process of the industrial committee in detail, and standardize the production process according to the relevant numbers and materials, so as to ensure that the product can be produced on the production line.

Wang Shuhui has always believed that producing a product is not a big problem. The power of industrialization cannot be manifested in a single product. The enormous power of industrialization is entirely due to the fact that industrialization can produce the same product in batches without discrimination. Therefore, in Wang Shuhui's view, he would rather use the industrial process to produce a large number of low-end products with the batch of technicians and workers in half bottles, rather than only a small number of high-end products.

From the choice of rifles, it is not difficult to see Wang Shuhui's concept
