Looking at the rapidly flowing molten steel in front of them, everyone's eyes were reflected red. The military chiefs of the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info know what this means, and the base area in northern Hebei can basically achieve self-sufficiency in weapons! Then as long as there are enough officers and soldiers, the army can be expanded without limit.

Unlike the excitement of others, Qin Lang just watched all this with a blank face, even if the visitors were scattered, he had no intention of leaving.

"Commander, what do you think?"

Gu Xinan asked nervously.

Qin Lang said coldly:

"Use an electric arc furnace to make carbon steel, your ability is great! What can be done with the open-hearth furnace being built over there, but with such expensive equipment to produce? ”

Gu Xin'an laughed a few times before he whispered:

"Commander, you de-breathe first. Carbon steel is relatively easy to refine, and it is also a ...... for steelmakers to familiarize themselves with the technology. ”

Before he finished speaking, Qin Lang said loudly:

"I don't have any objection to practicing, but what do you use? Scrap steel removed from Citigroup's old warships is worth twenty dollars a ton. Know what's inside? Nickel! I just don't have a place to buy minerals, and now I have some storage in Chahar, but it will be a long time before it can be produced on a large scale. We don't have much left of ourselves, except for supplying Soviet Russia. You are a loser, just such a waste? ”

Gu Xin'an's face turned red all of a sudden, and he also shouted loudly:

"The people below are all inexperienced raw melon eggs, and it's not bad to get out of steel so quickly. If you want to make alloy steel, you have to wait for us to be familiar with the equipment, otherwise how do you tell me to refine it? ”

Qin Lang was stunned, pointed at him and scolded:

"You're yelling at me! You don't use so much ordinary steel, take my warship steel to refine, and make you a waste of sin first! ”

Gu Xin'an didn't let it go at all, but said menacingly:

"Warship steel has a high melting point, so it's just right to practice your hands. Now there is a suitable carbon steel, and even tungsten steel will be refined for you in a few days. If you think I'm not good, then look for someone better than me in the Jicha Suihong District! ”

Hearing this, Qin Lang was decisively instigated.

"I'm just waiting for your tungsten steel, and if it doesn't meet the standard, let's settle the new and old accounts together!"

Gu Xin'an yelled at him:

"Don't worry, I can't miss you! The molybdenum, chromium, and nickel that I dug up are all sent in, and the next thing I want to do is to study alloy steel. In addition, the steel mill needs a laboratory for analysis, and you have $10,000 to prepare. ”

couldn't afford to provoke these people, Qin Lang pulled out his feet and went down to the ordnance workshop. The steel rods that have been smelted during this time are being processed into barrels by a machine. This is an American-made electric machine tool, and the price is also a sky-high price of 30,000 US dollars. Because there are two cutter heads, two barrels can be drilled every ten minutes, which is already an advanced device for this era.

Zhong Cheng was carefully inspecting the finished products, because there was a lot of noise, and he still had cotton balls stuffed in his ears.

Qin Lang went over and patted him on the shoulder.

"Zhong Cheng, how are these barrels?"

After finally taking off the contents of his ears, he roared loudly:

"Commander, the quality of the barrel is good."

Qin Lang nodded.

"This is nickel-containing steel, specially for you to produce machine guns, don't waste it!"

Zhong Cheng shouted again:

"Several prototypes of the machine gun have been prototyped, welcome the commander to visit!"

The steel he custom-made was never shipped to the bluestone due to weather conditions. It can only be replaced with newly produced steel from the steel mill, who knows that the quality is not bad, and there are no problems after hundreds of rounds.

Qin Lang laughed and pulled him out of the workshop.

The machine gun was wrapped in a green canvas, but after pulling it apart, Qin Lang was stunned by the round "stick" in front of him. He couldn't help but complain, this Zhong Cheng's aesthetics seemed to be a little wrong!

Zhong Chengna knew what he was thinking, and said happily:

"Commander, the rate of fire of the machine gun is controlled at about five hundred rounds per minute, and with a little change, it can reach one thousand rounds, or even one thousand five hundred rounds!"

Qin Lang hurriedly shook his head and said:

"Five hundred rounds per minute is enough, and I can't bear a thousand."

Zhong Cheng smiled and loaded the machine gun.

"Da Da Da!"

"Da Da Da!"

I went out a few times at once, and the gunfire was the same as the air drill punching, but it was louder.

Qin Lang first lay down and shot seven or eight shots, and then stood up and hit a few shuttles.

"Da Da Da!"

The recoil isn't great, and the accuracy isn't bad.

"The spread of bullets within 600 meters is not large, and there is no spectrum at 700 meters. The barrel overheats when firing 300 rounds, at which point the barrel must be replaced. The sub-shooter of the machine gun squad will carry three spare ones, so that they can fire continuously. Based on your opinion, we have used a 25-round combo chain, which is designed to be recycled and then recycled, and the press has been produced and put into the team for use. The only drawback is the barrel, which will be scrapped at 8,000 rounds, hoping to reach 10,000 rounds. ”

Qin Lang listened to the introduction while studying the machine gun. Changing the barrel is really convenient, just lift a handle. However, the heat dissipation sleeve of the machine gun is round, and the barrel can only be poured out like MG34. The whole process is only a matter of seconds, and it is very simple.

"The machine gun is good, but you have to be issued asbestos gloves, otherwise you will get burned when you change the barrel! Prosperity, how about the maintenance and dustproof of this gun? ”

Zhong Cheng says:

"The butt of the machine gun is hollow, so you can put the cleaning tool in it, and you just need to remove the clip when you use it. If you disassemble it, you can disassemble the gun as long as you hold it down, and you can take it out with a pull at the bottom. Now it's a matter of bullets, five people can only change one hundred and fifty a day, and this monkey year can only equip the troops! ”

Qin Lang put the gun in his hand on the ground, and said with a smile:

"Already on the train, which, according to the Soviet comrades, should arrive in mid-November. You're going to have to get the bullet mold out, and once the production line arrives, a million rounds of ammunition have to be produced by March next year. ”

The base has begun to smelt copper and lead ore, and now steel. As long as there are enough steel core bullets, it will be enough to deal with the war in front of us. At present, the problem of guns has finally been solved, and the next thing is artillery, and I don't know when cannon steel will be produced.

The support weapon of the northern Hebei detachment is a mortar, since it requires only seamless steel pipes to produce. However, alloy steel must be used in other body-barreled artillery, and the easiest to refine at present is nickel-chromium alloy. Because chrome ore was also found in Inner Mongolia, it was a medium-sized mining area!

With these foundations, plus Citigroup's warship scrap, it should be no problem to produce artillery steel.

"It's time to recuperate for a while."

Qin Lang muttered to himself.

Input is increasing, and if it is not reined in, it will cause a huge fiscal deficit. Once it gets to this point, the industrial system, which has invested a lot, will lose its source of funding. At that time, these factories can only stop production, unemployment and other problems will inevitably plunge the Jichasui base area into a crisis.

"You have to learn from Yan Laoxi."

There are already hundreds of tons of red copper in the base, and the profit from investing in the market is about 200%. But if Yan Laoxi learns to press it into copper plates, the profit will be doubled.

"One hundred and eighty copper plates can be exchanged for an ocean, and the mint must be allowed to produce copper dollars as soon as possible!"
