Major Zhao Weiguo, the medal base is a base in the gunpowder era, and the main weapon in the gunpowder era is the smoothbore gun. The difference between humans and animals is to make tools, and the ability to make tools is the ability of a human social force. And weapons, a tool that snatches and kills people, and have an absolute impact on their own survival, are the most accurate indicators to judge a force's ability to create.

Looking at the essence through the phenomenon, almost all the officers on the battlefield of evolution are not just relying on their own medal bases to stupidly explode troops and drown people. The Medal is just an industrial chain of military production. The production tools of the workers in this industrial chain are regulated, and the production thinking of the workers is also prescribed, but the thinking of the officers is alive, and all the veterans of the evolution space are trying to improve the production capacity of their medals when they enter the world of military tasks. That is, manufacturing capacity.

The particularity of this mission is the promotion task, which is the task of helping Zhao Weiguo be promoted from major to lieutenant colonel. Overall, the world's science and technology has firmly stood in the era of the first industrial revolution, and there are signs of marching towards the second industrial revolution. It can be said that this is a mission scenario where knowledge exceeds the knowledge possessed by an officer.

However, in most missions, it is often due to the fact that you cannot draw on the experience of development, for example, if you are a Stone Medalist, you can only try it in the Stone Age, and you will not want to gain the knowledge of smelting bronze from such ordinary tasks. In the same way, Zhao Weiguo was in the gunpowder era in the previous missions, and as for the industrial knowledge of the steam age, Zhao Weiguo's mission world was only the gunpowder era, and there was no condition for Zhao Weiguo to learn the production of steam engines in the mission world.

And Zhao Weiguo is now familiar with the road to increase the production blast furnace of the Evolution Battlefield Medal, build a heat storage chamber and a coking room, and command the construction of his own soldiers' brick kilns. The various skillful actions are entirely the knowledge that you have tried to accumulate step by step in the world of previous quests. Of course, there are also discussions with other school officials. This knowledge is invaluable.

A primitive and backward plant began to be upgraded.

The current world is a world of promotion tasks, and the knowledge of the past attempts and the complete industrial knowledge of this world deal with each other, and the biggest gain should be Zhao Weiguo, who is familiar with the production mode of his own factory and can no longer be familiar. , But all this comes at a price, this promotion mission is just a matter of time, Zhao Weiguo's base medal will be scrapped.

The most valuable thing in an industrial system is not the equipment, but the people who are skilled in operating the equipment, Zhao Weiguo can operate all the equipment skillfully, and the thinking is injected into a large number of soldiers. So in this industrially developed society, it is very easy to pull up a factory.

As for the level of production in this world? Let's analyze it from the weapon promotion.

In the era of firearms, a tube with chemical explosives propelling a projectile forward. In the early days, the caliber of the fire # gun was more than ten millimeters, and the fire # gun with great lethality had to be supported by a rack to keep it stable and fired. China's Ming Dynasty fire # gun is developing in the direction of accurate caliber and small caliber, while Europe is developing in the direction of heavy fire # gun, and one shot down the cow. As a result, the Chinese firearms unit was taught to be a man by the Northeast Cavalry Archery.

However, weapons that are too heavy affect mobility. The flintlock pistol was still a cast iron barrel, and by the time of the firing pistol it had become a steel pipe. Because smokeless gunpowder is more powerful. Of course, the barrel will have to be replaced with a steel one. As for when it was changed to steel. That's when manufacturing power increases. After all, it was a time for a major revolution in steel production. Bestman of the Rendi plane invented a method of injecting air into the molten iron, removing the carbon and silicon in the molten iron, and refining steel. What is the case with traditional steelmaking, where a blacksmith takes a piece of red-hot pig iron and forges it to oxidize the carbon in the red-hot iron into steel. This reaction does not require external heating, and the whole reaction is purely air injection and the reaction of carbon and silicon in the molten iron, which releases heat and directly turns the molten iron into molten steel. However, this steelmaking method cannot be desulphisuriated, and the quality of steel in the 21st century is scrap.

Looking at the changes in the industrial era in the future, you can see it from the steelmaking furnace. A steelmaking furnace represents an era of productivity.

The early hot air blowing from the bottom of molten iron was an era of steelmaking. Piecemeal upgrades will be made to cover the bottom of the furnace with an alkaline substance containing magnesium, and to turn acidic steel into alkaline steel. This is the era of steelmaking.

The second era of industrial steelmaking was the era of open-hearth furnaces, where molten steel was poured into a #open-hearth furnace and heated with external heavy oil and gas. Step by step, the four divisions of carbon, phosphorus, sulfur and silicon are completed, the slag furnace gas is removed, and then the composition is adjusted appropriately, and the temperature is adjusted. In this era, converters blow hot air from the side. This is the steelmaking technology of China after the founding of the People's Republic of China. As for the construction of open-hearth stoves, Ren Di is now asking to learn how to burn bricks. Before the crossing, Ren Di would never have imagined that bricks would involve the details of the success or failure of steelmaking in addition to building a house.

Then the long-lived steelmaking method appeared, oxygen top blowing, and more advanced mixed blowing at the top and bottom blowing. An open-hearth furnace consumes a lot of energy to make steel for several hours, and a furnace takes more than ten minutes with this method. In addition, impurities such as nitrogen are removed.

In the Third Steelmaking Age, it is clear that this dimensional technology has not been reached. The key reason for this is the oxygen production equipment, which is more difficult than the high-pressure reactor technology for ammonia synthesis. Because once the synthetic ammonia works, it will continue to react with high pressure without reducing the pressure, and the compressed air machine should be a device that continuously pressurizes low-pressure air into high pressure. Among them, acetylene welding is required to reinforce key parts. It is clear that there is a lack of high-level skilled personnel in this area in the last wave of traversers. It is not possible to complete this technique. The traverser didn't bring this machine at all, because even if he brought it in the early days, there were not enough people to operate it, and it was pure murder to operate it with the quality of the early naturalized people.

And even if one of these machines is completed, the requirements for the workers who operate the machine are very high, because as long as they are in place step by step, low temperature leakage can freeze people into popsicles, or explode beyond pressure. Oxygen is not a gasoline combustible substance, but high concentrations of oxygen can turn steel into flammables. In chemical experiments, the red-hot wire in pure oxygen is like fireworks. It is clear that the Plane is not focusing its human resources on this dangerous technological upgrade. The second generation of the Senate no longer holds a wrench, they are all big entrepreneurs. Plantations and seafaring trade, the benefits of which will come quickly. Heavy industry is nothing more than a slow development supported by state tax revenues. It is tiring to take a wrench, it is sub-healthy to take a wrench, and it is dangerous to take a wrench. Everyone is equal, and the patriarchs are more equal than everyone else. Equal patriarchs, no one wants to be a fool, and the first generation of passionate and ambitious patriarchs who want to change the world have left this world.

And even if this technology is made, the real oxygen steelmaking is still too costly, China's steelmaking industry exploded from 100 million tons to 700 million tons at the beginning of the 21st century, depending on the pressure adsorption air separation technology in the 90s, that is, a semi-permeable membrane, and then pressurized to separate oxygen and nitrogen. This technology reduces the risk of operation. And most importantly, by separating the same amount of air, the energy consumption is reduced to one-third to one-quarter of the energy consumption of compressed air machines.

An industrial country in the steelmaking era can crush the industrial countries of the first era, and the industrial countries in the traditional Besman steelmaking era can crush the agricultural country of the Qing Dynasty. Similarly, in the 21st century, China, which often produces hundreds of millions of tons of steel every year, was put into the rhythm of World War II because of the generation gap in material production technology.

Steelmaking is big # law is good. Steelmaking determines productivity, and steelmaking determines combat effectiveness. Good steel requires a good barrel, and there is a good barrel. Of course, there are guns and bullets.

The barrel changed from an iron pipe to a steel one due to the advancement of materials, and at the same time, due to the reinforcement of the material, the breech-loading chamber was not afraid to become a breech-loading gun. Well, the bullet was in a round ball state at first. Due to the strange ballistics of the smoothbore gun, it finally turned into a pointed buckshot. The gunpowder pushed the bottom groove of the projectile, yes, the hit buckshot thickened and grazed the rifling in the barrel and flew out in a spiral. This is the famous Mini bomb.

Then the Mini bullet and the paper shell filled with black # gunpowder were ordered. The paper shell was bitten open and ignited by a spark stirred up by the flintlock flint. It became a paper bullet. It is also because the strength of the material cannot support the energy. With the advancement of chemical technology, the power of smokeless gunpowder is incomparable to black # gunpowder. The lead bullet is too soft, and the impact of smokeless gunpowder can break the lead bullet in the barrel, and even if it can't be broken, a little lead falls in the barrel and fills the rifling, which is a very annoying thing.

So the paper shell containing the gunpowder became a metal bullet case like a barrel sleeve. The lead bullet holds a metal shell of copper or iron on the outside, and it becomes a copper-shelled lead-shaped armor bullet. This is the modern bullet. The barrel-like thing in the metal cartridge case ignited the gunpowder inside, and the gunpowder exploded, pushing out the copper-shelled lead bullet in front of the case. Violent explosive gases poured into the bottom of the copper-shelled lead bullet, the copper shell was propped open, perfectly matched with the rifling of the barrel, the spiral conformed to the aerodynamic warhead shot directly at the target, and the powerful power of smokeless gunpowder finally acted perfectly on the warhead, so there was no need to worry about the pure lead warhead not being able to withstand the force and collapse.

Smokeless powder bullets outperform the lead bullet in range. That's what rifle bullets are.

This world is the world of rifles, how can the lead bullets produced by Zhao Weiguo's basic base be able to fight. Guerrilla warfare is okay, but the regular army of the Great Plains is looking for abuse in frontal combat. Therefore, the first weapon that Zhao Weiguo asked to be finalized was a rifle that could fire armor bullets.

However, now the matter that Zhao Weiguo and the six reservists are discussing is the matter of weapon finalization. Zhao Weiguo drew two bullet planing diagrams, and the warheads are the same, that is, the bottom # fire under the bullet casing has two different structures.

The bottom # fire ignites the structure of the internal firing # of the cartridge case, and there is a pit at the bottom of all the cartridge cases, and there is a small hole in the bottom of the pit # After the fire is excited, it is from this hole that the gunpowder in the cartridge case is ignited. However, this pit at the bottom of the cartridge case is covered by a thin copper cap, commonly known as a fire cap. The ram in the firearm hits this copper cap and ignites under the copper plate, what is this ignition mechanism?

In one way, there is a raised awl in the small pit at the bottom of the cartridge case, and when the hammer of the firearm hits the fire cap, it is actually a collision between the copper cap and the raised small awl in the pit at the bottom of the cartridge case, igniting the thunder # mercury that explodes as soon as it is pressed in the copper cap, and the high heat of the explosion enters the ignition and launches # medicine along the two fire holes on the raised edge of the pit at the bottom of the cartridge case.

As for the second, there was no such awl in the pit at the bottom of the cartridge case, but instead there was a fire transmission hole located in the center. A slap does not make a sound, and the ram of the firearm must have a bulge and hit it in order to produce a spark. Therefore, a three-petal conical cover is in the center of this central fire hole, and the pointed cone in the center is called the fire transfer platform, which is responsible for colliding with the gun ram through the copper cap, and the ignited bottom # fire enters the central fire hole along the gap of the three-petal leaf.

Obviously, the second type is a little more advanced, the second type is called the center bottom # fire, which is what the Yankees use, and the first bullet case is fired once, and the raised ram breaks. And the second is just to replace the fire transfer table and plug the fire cap. You can charge the shell again, and load the copper-shelled lead warhead. This is the famous reloading bullet. Of course, the first one can also be reinstalled, but it is super troublesome.

"We use the first one," Mr. Zhao said.

Sometimes what's good isn't necessarily the best. Both bullets Zhao Weiguo tested in other missions. The second type of central bottom # fire is more advanced.

Zhao Weiguo glanced at everyone and said, "I didn't ask you to come to this world, not to let you be by my side. I need you to go out and open a base somewhere else. The industrial system can be replicated, but the base ultimately needs people to command. In this world, we can't rely on the soldiers we carry to fight, this is a promotion mission. It takes this person who attracts this world to fight with us. An industrial base cannot resist the counter-encirclement and suppression. I need you to use this base as a base to mobilize local people and establish a base in other places. You have to fight, you have to command, and you have to be ready to fight for self-sufficiency in your own production. ”

Zhao Weiguo said: "Our industrial system should be the same, and our industrial standards should be the same. Each base area should ensure that personnel can be exchanged, production equipment can be exchanged, and production products can be standardized and universal. So firearms and bullets need to be finalized. As for why the first one is finalized, I have to consider your initial rudimentary production and processing capabilities. ”

Zhao Weiguo deducted a second type of bullet. The three-lobed cone, which was responsible for colliding with the ram of the firearm, was removed. Zhao Weiguo pointed to this thing and said: "This thing looks simple, you can definitely build it, but it needs a certain strength and hardness, and special materials, otherwise the gun will hit the hammer and hit it, and this thing will directly deflate the bottom # The fire did not sound, and the bullet was wasted." And I don't expect anything from your initial processing capacity. The defective rate of your processing of this thing is definitely high, and even if the bottom of a bullet # fire is scrapped on the battlefield, it can be reloaded, and the gains outweigh the losses. However, the first kind of bottom cone, because it is solid, has high strength, even if it does not sound, as long as the bullet is slightly turned to be excited, and can be formed together with the production of the projectile body, which is convenient for production. ”

"And a few steps less," added one of the ensigns (Lu Ming). Zhao Weiguo nodded and said, "That's right." ”

Ren Di immediately understood that this was also a very important reason. Most of the primary school students were punished for copying their names, and "Ren" and "Di" were both one word, which seemed to be equal. There is no time difference when it is written individually. But the name is often copied hundreds of times. Therefore, it is often necessary to write a stroke of a word hundreds of times, and then write a second stroke. In this way, it is possible to find the difference in the number of strokes, which leads to the gap of effort.

The same is true for streamlined production, one more step, one more labor-intensive link, one more link that is easy to produce defective products. In cases where productivity is not up to par, steps need to be saved.

A weapon worth tens of billions of dollars can decide a battle, but a weapon with a consumption of tens of billions of dollars will decide the entire war. A small bullet production involves an entire industrial system. Since there is no counting on reloading bullets. So between a copper-shelled bullet and a steel-shelled bullet. Zhao Weiguo also chose a steel shell. Each criterion is determined by this.
