If a semi-feudal and semi-colonial agricultural country wants to seize the opportunity of Zuihou on the eve of the great change in the Shijie pattern to transform from a poor and backward agricultural country to an industrial country, how difficult the road is to take, Hu Rui understands in his heart. Steel production is an important indicator to measure a country's war potential and industrial level, there are still two and a half years before the chaos of 1911, a trace of vitality of this country has not been wiped out in the warlord melee, the First World War has not yet begun, this is an opportunity for the Chinese nation to rise! If you miss it, you will have to wait until 1949. This is also the reason why Weishenme Hu Rui invested in heavy industries such as steel, and so on after the German imported rifle production line was put into operation, Anqing's demand for steel will gradually increase, relying on imports just now The military industrial enterprises are undoubtedly in the air, and many cases in the Republic of China era in the past have proved that it is a foolish behavior to rely entirely on imports. You can never buy a military power by selling, and you are subject to others in terms of production and output, and there is a risk of being choked at any time. Although the investment in heavy industries such as steel is huge and slow to produce results, Hu Rui knows that it must be done, because it is related to China's future!

After receiving the telegram that morning, Hu Rui did not dare to slack off, and the group quickly whipped up and rushed towards Anqing non-stop. After the war horse under the crotch snapped its nose and snorted and drove the owner back to the manufacturing bureau in Anqing City with white gas, the group was surprised to find that all the people in the entire design room were crazy! Returned overseas Chinese, international students, technicians and workers who dug up the wall, and a large number of foreign devils and maniacs hugged each other, shook hands, and talked loudly in various languages, regardless of whether others could understand them synchronously, but their faces were all filled with excitement and ecstasy expressions without exception. It was the busiest day in the design office's more than a month ago, and the loud noise almost toppled the roof of the manufacturing bureau. The soldiers of the guard platoon looked at the large group of hysterical guys in front of them differently and were confused, this morning, the few jishu members who came back from studying abroad on Ma'anshan were driven crazy by a few words from the co-ordinator, and several big men hugged each other in broad daylight and rolled on the ground crying and laughing, but they refused to let go. Isn't it going to be okay for the co-ordinator to say something to these guys? That is, after seeing the co-ordinator who was guarded by the guard platoon in the middle, helplessly looking at the human wall in front of him and being stunned, under the leadership of the platoon commander, he quickly performed his duties, and surrounded the hard foundation of the human wall hand in hand, and escorted Hu Rui in. “BOSS！” A sharp-eyed American employee immediately shouted a colleague in his arms, pulled Hu Rui out through the human wall with a big hand, and pulled him to the open space in the center, hurriedly gesturing and muttering a burst of bird songs. "My lord, I'd better come." A young man with unkempt hair with a pencil in his ear kindly patted the American on the shoulder, signaling him not to get excited. In fact, as a traverser, Hu Rui's English is not producing, and he can still cope with it in daily conversations, but you can't refuse the kindness of others, right? Nodding and smiling, he motioned for him to continue, and the man pulled away the red-faced American with excitement, wiped his hand on the oil-stained apron on his chest, and carefully lifted the canvas covering the clearing. Beneath the tarpaulin is a 92 infantry gun with a slightly longer barrel and a modified gun wheel, an unpainted imitation Soviet 1939 60mm mortar, an 82mm mortar, and two slightly rough ZB30 light machine guns and a Stearns submachine gun with diagonal magazines in the corners. "Oh my God......" Hu Rui couldn't help but gasp, and the corners of his mouth completely grinned - all copied! My lord, according to the drawings you gave, we divided it into two departments, the artillery section and the firearms, and spent more than a month studying them separately. We just pulled the sample to the shooting range and tried it, and guess what? All meet the design standards, and some even exceed! The tired face couldn't hide the ecstasy, and the scene was cheering again. Forehead...... Do you have specific data? Hu Rui wiped the beads of sweat from his head (excited) and hurriedly asked. There was a notebook on the ground next to it, on which was the data obtained from the test shooting at the shooting range. These guys seem to dislike the 92 infantry gun's body barrel diameter is not enough, and forcibly changed it to 11 times the diameter (the original design is 8.79 times the diameter), with the extension of the body barrel, the firing range has also been extended from the original design of 2800 meters to 3500 meters, and the range of firing 3.8 kg high-explosive shells can reach nearly 3800 meters. However, due to the influence of craftsmanship and machinery, as well as the extension of the barrel double diameter, the imitation 92 infantry run was inevitably much heavier than the original design, reaching 0.32 tons. After improving the artillery running wheels and gun carriages, the weight is expected to be reduced to 0,3 tons. As for the 60, 82 mortars and ZB30 light machine guns, because of the influence of craftsmanship and machinery, there are overweight and rough defects, but they are all within an acceptable range, and the range, rate of fire, life and other jishu indicators all meet the original design standards! At the level of industry in China at that time, it was definitely a remarkable achievement to reach this point! You must know that the design office has only been established for more than a month, and the composition and origin of the members are complex, and the level is also uneven. For more than a month, I relied on my own group cooperation, and all the imitations were successful by hand! There is no shortage of talents in this era, but there is a lack of an environment suitable for talent development. The great God of China knows how many skilled craftsmen are hidden in the crowd like this, the country is weak, the Manchus are rotten, and these talents with unique skills are scattered all over the country, submerged by the injustice and gloom of this society, zuihou disappear in the long river of history. You must know that in parallel history, until the Anti-Japanese War, the government of the Republic of China was still eating the old books of the former Qing Dynasty in heavy industry, and all artillery shells above 75 mm were imported, and even the production of individual grenades and rifle ammunition was seriously insufficient. Take the Committee 1888, which became the new military standard rifle at the end of the Qing Dynasty (the Committee 1888 rifle was developed under the stimulus of the French 1886 Lebel rifle, which was the first small-caliber rifle to use smokeless propellant on the Shijie, and its lethality, ballistics, and range far exceeded the 11mm black powder gun cartridge used in the previous German Type 1871). Germany immediately set up a rifle research and development committee to develop the Type 88 7.92mm rifle, but in fact, from the production of the gun to the development of the Mauser company, it was never involved. Due to its early design age and limited level of workmanship, the Commission 1888 had the problem of being prone to bore and magazine cracking, and was later replaced by the Mauser Type 98 rifle. Before the First World War, it was basically withdrawn from the front line and used by the German reserves. Rifles, before the Anti-Japanese War, relying on the import of Sweden, Japan's high-quality steel firearms quality is passable, after the start of the Anti-Japanese War, the source of steel imports in Europe was cut off, the small amount of domestic steel and poor quality led to a serious decline in the quality of Hanyang 88 (imitation of the committee 1888 rifle), the ruler range of 1200 meters, but the actual range is only 500 ~ 600 meters. “BOSS！” The American suddenly remembered something after being excited, shouted and pushed through the crowd and grabbed the door, and soon rushed over with something wrapped in a handkerchief, as if to hand it to Hu Rui. "What is this?" Hu Rui's brain was flashed by a sudden huge surprise just now, and in a temporary freeze, he looked at the thing that suddenly appeared in his hand and asked subconsciously. The Americans gave full play to their national enthusiasm and free and easy style, took Hu Rui's hand and made a gesture of aiming with a gun, followed by a bucket of chatter, speaking very fast and with a thick accent, Rao is English level 6 Hu Rui is also a little confused. Immediately, a Chinese American stood up and made a cameo appearance as a translator: "He said that his name is Mike (rotten to everyone's name) He used to serve in the U.S. Marine Corps, fought in the Spanish-American War, and was a sergeant when he retired." He's worked in a mechanical company, and he'll do this. If you are willing to hire him, he is willing to provide all the jishu without reservation. He is not very demanding, and it is good to have wine every day. After reading Zuihou's sentence, the audience was uproaring, but Sergeant Mack was not embarrassed, 1909 was a turbulent year, and it was difficult to find him to know how difficult it was to work in the United States on the other side of the ocean. Otherwise, he would not have chosen to cross the ocean to this strange black land. Hu Rui held back a smile and shook the things in his hand, and then carefully opened them layer by layer, and when he saw the things, Hu Rui couldn't laugh anymore - scope!

Externally, this is an old-fashioned scope, similar to the 1.5x scope that the Soviets equipped for the Mosin Nagant sniper model in World War II. Compared to modern scopes, it is much rougher, and it is impossible to talk about low-light night vision and auto-tracking functions. But it's definitely enough, at least in the 40s, before the invention of the 4x scope by Zeiss in Germany, it was the most haode choice. "If I hire you, how much will this thing produce per month?" Hu Rui cautiously picked up the scope and asked in a trembling voice. In this era, I am afraid that no one understands the role of snipers on the battlefield better than him. He said that if there were enough skilled apprentices, he would be able to produce about 30 a month, and he alone would produce about 5 a month. This requires the cooperation of a special optical instrument factory. Mike shrugged, seemingly frustrated by the issue of production, which should not be produced in bulk by any country. Starting tomorrow, you select 4 apprentices to teach, and produce at least 10 a month. I'll give you a salary of $20 a month! But by the end of the year, you have to produce 30 units a month! Otherwise, let me go!" Hu Rui carefully wrapped his things and put them in his pocket, and replied viciously. $40?! That's 40 taels of silver! The audience gasped and rubbed their teeth like a toothache. Uncle Shan really doesn't understand that this glass mirror gadget is really worth so much money? The monthly money is 40 taels, which is almost to buy a rifle! With a satisfactory salary, Mike almost didn't smash his chest to the assurance. The entire production line and other equipment imported from Germany will be delivered at the end of the month, and if the assembly line production is adopted, the production can be on track by May at the latest. It is estimated that if it is in place just now, it should be no problem to produce 600 rifles per month.
