Chapter 888: Reloading
Li Yunlong can afford to put it down, although he has been delegated, but his posture is still very good, even if the arsenal is a logistics department, he is also a pioneer, and patiently learned the loading technology with the female comrades in the filling workshop.
Since there was no gunpowder available, Lao Li did not hesitate to disassemble his bullets for practice.
Dozens of bullets, Lao Li was very painful.
Don't look at Lao Li's fingers are the same as mallets, but he was born as a craftsman, so he has a special understanding of the fine work of loading, and it didn't take a day to master all the processes of reloading, and he did it a few points better than ordinary female comrades.
In the afternoon, near the end of the evening, Dong Jinbao had already disposed of most of the damp gunpowder.
When the gunpowder came, Lao Li and several female comrades got to work together.
Dong Jinbao did not leave, but watched Li Yunlong work.
After looking at it for a while, he picked up a 6.5-caliber bullet that Li Yunlong used for practice, then pulled out the warhead with a tool and poured out the gunpowder inside.
His brow furrowed slightly at the gunpowder, and he walked out of the filling room.
Seeing that Dong Jinbao's expression was wrong, Li Yunlong immediately put down the work in his hand and followed.
Far from an open space in the filling workshop, Dong Jinbao took out the gunpowder he had just poured and lit it with a match.
After watching the firelight flicker slightly, Dong Jinbao's brows furrowed even deeper.
Although Li Yunlong didn't know what was going on, he seemed to see that Dong Jinbao seemed to have found a problem.
Then he took out a cigarette and handed it to Dong Jinbao, "Fatty, have you found something wrong?"
"There's something wrong with the gunpowder." The fat man said, looking at the pile of ashes on the ground.
"Wouldn't it?" Li Yunlong stared at his big eyes in disbelief.
Dong Jinbao thought for a moment and said slowly, "The risk of reloading is the use of the wrong gunpowder. The different ignition rates of gunpowder in pistols and rifles naturally lead to different strong pressures for the same charge. A shorter barrel of a pistol naturally requires gunpowder with a higher combustion rate, while a rifle has a longer barrel and naturally wants the gunpowder to burn in the barrel for a little longer. And if the rifle is loaded with the wrong gunpowder, it will naturally cause the chamber pressure to be too large, resulting in an explosion."
Li Yunlong couldn't understand anything else, but he could understand it.
"Explode? So you've found the reason for the explosion of our reloaded bullets."
"The explosion is caused by excessive chamber pressure, but there are many reasons for excessive chamber pressure, and the wrong gunpowder is only one of the reasons." Dong Jinbao scratched his head with a puzzled expression as he spoke, "This batch of gunpowder has been checked, and they are all suitable models for rifles?" But the gunpowder in this bullet is not right."
"Haha~" Li Yunlong laughed, "That's right, the gunpowder you used to take the bullet just now was removed from my box cannon bullet. According to you, it should be gunpowder for the hands ***."
"Whew~" Dong Jinbao seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "It's good that there is no problem with a large amount of gunpowder, Commander, we can't do this in the future."
"yes, got it! I didn't expect to almost bring danger to the soldiers on the front line because of our Lao Li's negligence." Li Yunlong's heart was also scared for a while, but he knew how terrible it would be if he shot and exploded.
"It's not that the wrong gunpowder will blow up, it's just that the risk is higher." Dong Jinbao added that he wanted Li Yunlong's heart to relax a little.
"That's not good, even the soldiers on the front line can't bear the slightest risk!" Lao Li Yizheng said rhetorically, then turned around and ran, he wanted to go back quickly, while he still had memory, he wanted to check out all the bullets he used to practice reloading.
Fortunately, after picking out all the bullets with the wrong gunpowder, he and Dong Jinbao backfilled them into the original box gun shells.
As a result, in the end, it was found that there was not enough gunpowder, and there was still one that was not backfilled.
Facing the empty bullet casings, this time Li Yunlong's face was like the bottom of a black pot, and he kept gloomy and did not speak.
Seeing this situation, Dong Jinbao hurriedly persuaded, "Commander, it's inevitable that there will be a little leakage back and forth, and your amount is not too large."
Li Yunlong gritted his teeth and said vigorously, "I hope it's like what you said."
After reloading more than a dozen bullets, Li Yunlong asked shamelessly again, "Fatty, then what do you say about our high rate of bullet misfire?"
"There are many reasons for this, and the biggest reason is probably the primer."
"Then how to solve it, aren't you very good at gunpowder, can you solve it?"
Dong Jinbao was very embarrassed, "If I can prepare a small amount by myself, I can ensure the quality, but we are an arsenal, and it is impossible to make tens of thousands of primers at a time, so it is impossible to ......"
Without waiting for Dong Jinbao to finish speaking, Li Yunlong waved his hand, "A small amount can be completed, and a large batch can be the same." In the future, the task of producing the primer will be entrusted to you, and you will strictly control me."
Dong Jinbao was a little stunned, but he still took the task hard, "Yes!"
Li Yunlong patted him on the shoulder, "Don't be pressured, just do your best." Don't hesitate to mention what's the problem."
Dong Jinbao rolled his eyes and said, "Then I want cotton, good cotton, this is an important material for making primers."
"Cotton?" Li Yunlong clicked his mouth, feeling that he had also worked as the director of the quilt factory, and the point in the past should not be a problem, but it was really not okay to use a few baskets of grenades to change it.
It was getting darker and darker, and it wasn't until he saw that he had cleared his hands that Li Yunlong stopped the reassembly work.
He pulled Dong Jinbao to stand up, "Let's go, have a few drinks with me, my Lao Li still has a lot to ask you."
For dinner, Li Yunlong took out his treasured soju to entertain Dong Jinbao and Liu Xu.
There are no appetizers, peanuts and rice are like pickles and Li Yunlong.
Liu Xu and Dong Jinbao are both people who don't drink much, but they only drink a little symbolically, so almost all the bottles of wine entered Li Yunlong's stomach.
I was a little dizzy from drinking, and Lao Li went to bed early.
But he didn't sleep long before he was shaken up by the little guard, saying that Liu Xu was looking for him.
After wiping his face and feeling refreshed, Li Yunlong came to Liu Xu's campus.
The kerosene lamp was bright, and on the table was a telegram that had just been converted into plaintext.
Liu Xu pointed to the telegram and said excitedly, "Lao Li, Lao Li, it's finally here, it's finally here!"
Liu Xu is the kind of calm character who is not in a hurry above the fire, but at this moment he looks like Li Yunlong who has seen an Italian cannon.
Looking at Liu Xu's posture, Li Yunlong followed suit, and asked, "What, Lao Liu, is your daughter-in-law coming over?"
"No! No! More important than a daughter-in-law, more important than a daughter-in-law!" The excitement on Liu Xu's face intensified, and the happy look looked as if he was crazy.
"Who's here?" With doubts in his heart, Li Yunlong picked up the telegram on the table.
