Chen Heng, director of the Beiping Metropolitan Command Envoy and Director of the Joint Office of the Military Industry; Yan Wang's Mansion, Shi Mansion's Right Governor, and Jin Zhong, Executive Director of the Military Industry Joint Office; Zhu Neng, the commander of the Yanshan Central Guard and the deputy director of the Joint Office of the Military Industry; Ma Wangxuan, deputy director of the Joint Office of the Military Industry.

Zhu Gaochi led a group of personnel to inspect the military factory.

Long Knife Factory No. 1, Long Knife Factory No. 2, Standard Saber Factory, Shield Factory, Gunpowder Factory, Paper Bullet Packaging Factory, Bird Gun Factory, Box Car Factory, Light Artillery Foundry, Cannon Foundry, Military Rations Factory, Ordnance Factory...... More than 20 factories of all sizes.

A self-infested firebolt, also known as a flintlock pistol, is produced by the Bird Gun manufactory.

"The self-generated fire gun has a fast rate of fire, fast reloading, and much higher efficiency than the bird gun, but the disadvantage is very large, because of the quality of the flint, the firing rate is very low."

A technician introduced on the side, and with the directors of each factory around, dozens of people seemed lively.

Ten handfuls of samples are neatly placed on the table.

Chen Heng took one curiously, pulled the trigger and tried it.

The lighter makes a "click" sound, and the flint attached to it collides with the snake rod, and the splash of fire can be seen.

Although there was no live shooting, Chen Hengrong immediately saw the power of it all his life.

Ignoring the ignition rate just mentioned by the technician, he said very cautiously: "The self-generated fire gun should be put into production immediately." ”

"The self-generated firearm is still in the research and development process, whether it can be put into production or not, professional things are still left to professional personnel to do."

Zhu Gaochi said with a smile.

Bird guns can be made, and flintlock pistols are certainly not a problem.

However, if the problem of flint is not solved, the flintlock gun will not be able to play its due role in practical application, and it is not as efficient as the arquebus.

It's like the barrel theory.

The planks are very long in all aspects, much higher than the bird's gun, but if there is one plank that is unusually short, then the overall advantage is lost.

Although Zhu Gaochi did not understand the actual and detailed technology, he had an understanding of the development of firearms and understood that in the end, it still depended on technology.

The factory director and the stewards were relieved to hear the words of the little prince.

Otherwise, they don't know how to answer Chen Heng.

Zhu Gaochi smiled again and said: "However, General Chen's proposal is very important, and it is necessary to solve problems when encountered." ”

"Either find a new source of flint and directly solve the problem at the root, or research new technologies to improve the quality of flint through refining and other methods."

"In my opinion, it depends on luck to hope to find a new source of flint, and only by researching new technologies to break through the limitations is our confidence."

The documents next to him, as well as the documents of the factory, took notes on the words of the little prince.

This is an instruction from the superiors and will become an important project of the military factory.

Chen Heng nodded with satisfaction.

The little prince is still very polite to his own people, although he denied his words, but he also gave enough face.

The most important thing is that what the little prince said is orderly and convincing.

Ten self-made firebolts swirled around in their hands before finally returning to the table.

And then there's the new Bird.

"The technology of the bird gun is very mature, but according to the reaction of the sergeants, some uncomfortable places in the process of use have been changed, this is the latest style of bird gun."

Zhu Gaochi picked up a handful of bird guns.

The current bird gun has a ninety percent similarity with the rifle styles of later generations, but because of the difference in the lighter, the difference can still be seen.

The bird gun is very long, and Zhu Gaochi put forward new requirements.

"Now the technical level has improved, and assembly line operations have been applied in many industries, which is inseparable from your efforts."

"Since there is an assembly line operation method, can we produce standard knives?"

Zhu Gaochi gestured.

"By loading knives on the muzzles, the soldiers have melee combat capabilities, which greatly increases the combat effectiveness of the army."

Rifles and bayonets.

The biggest problem is accuracy.

Traditional craftsmen rely on manual and experienced production to produce inefficient, defective products, and often bayonets do not match rifles.

This problem can only be solved after standardization.

And standardization is not so easy to solve.

Only machine production can solve this problem.

Now, with the increase in the utilization rate of machines in the factories of China Heavy Industries, the assembly line production method can be applied to practice.

Seeing that the military factory did not think of this aspect, Zhu Gaochi took the initiative to mention it.

"What the little prince said is very good."

Someone suddenly realized.

"This kind of technology, with the current ability is not difficult, go back and immediately study it, as soon as possible to find out the standard standard knife."

That's the big difference between a factory and a workshop.

Even in the Hereafter.

There are still many home-produced workshops that still look like they are still using manpower.

There are already more efficient machines, but these family workshops haven't changed.

Because they produce a model that doesn't need to be as efficient.

But the factory is different.

The increased productivity of the plant at every step of the process is a great benefit to the plant.

Draw an analogy.

A traditional craftsman, who relies on hand polishing, polishes a bird gun by himself from beginning to end, and produces one shot a month.

At present, relying on the upstream and downstream industrial chains, the average worker can produce ten rods a month for various types of machines in military factories.

What's more.

The assembly line production method breaks the bottleneck of craftsmen.

The standard of qualified firearms craftsmen is too high, and the assembly line production method greatly reduces the requirements for the skills of craftsmen.

In the separate production process, it only takes two or three months for ordinary people to become qualified production workers.

It not only ensures the pass rate, but also improves the production efficiency, and finally solves the labor limit.

In other words.

In the past, we concentrated on making firecrackers, but due to the limited number of craftsmen, it was not possible to increase production.

Now there is no such problem, as long as the more input, the greater the output of production.

The process itself is a tenfold or more gap.

Coupled with the upstream and downstream industrial chain of China Heavy Industry Co., Ltd., the abundance of various resources, in terms of the production of firearms alone, the military factory in Beiping has a production capacity that exceeds the output of the whole Dada firearms.

There are many kinds of firearms in the Ming Dynasty.

The ancestors before the Qing Dynasty were full of whimsical ideas.

There are rockets, earth-shattering mines, mines, mines and so on, but they are limited by materials and firearms, and the power can only be said to be varied, but the direction is right.

Finally, Zhu Gaochi and the others looked at the new types of miscellaneous firearms in the military factories after the existing technological reforms.

"It's a poison smoke ball."

"It's a fireball of terrestris."

"It's a thunderbolt fireball......

The technician introduced, "These were invented by the ancestors of the Song Dynasty, and we recreated them according to the books of the ancestors." ”

A variety of strange firearms, which is an eye-opener.

However, these firearms only have shapes, and there is no gunpowder or various materials installed in them, which is a sense of security, even if the factory does not think of it, the guards will also think of it.

Flashbangs, gas bombs, smoke bombs.

It's a pity that the material is not good, it is still the same sentence, the direction is right.

Zhu Gaochi did not take these things to heart, these things are not needed on the battlefield, or with the current level of technology, they cannot play the role they should have, and they still need to continue to develop.

However, there was one thing that attracted Zhu Gaochi.

Shocking thunder.

"The principle of earth-shaking thunder is to wrap gunpowder and iron pieces and other anti-killing substances or poison-causing drugs in multiple layers of paper and seal them, and during battle, soldiers light the fuse and throw them into the enemy's position."

The technician explained.

Gunpowder packs.

Zhu Gaochi said with a smile: "Since iron is very lethal, you can't use iron to make iron kettles from the outside." ”

"There are also soldiers who throw and use, if you add handles, will you throw farther?"

In the third year of Xianping in the Song Dynasty, Tang Fu presented firearms to Song Zhenzong, which is the earliest hand-thrown ammunition recorded in historical records.

In the late 14th and early 15th centuries, gunpowder was introduced to Europe along with the wooden chariots of Genghis Khan's army.

In the fifteenth century, grenades made of black powder appeared in Europe for the defense of castles and fortresses.

In the seventeenth century, some European countries equipped grenades with elite troops, and professional "grenadiers" appeared, which soon became popular in Europe.

Zhu Gaochi pointed out the direction.

Grenades can be crafted.

It's a big killer.

Although there were no machine guns, but the three-eyed fire bolt plus grenades, equipped with cavalry armor, at that time, the Ming cavalry would be invincible in this era.

The Three-Eyed Musket is actually a three-shot shotgun.

There is no one to stop at short ranges, plus a few rounds of grenades, and it's sour to think about.

The infantry with vans plus bird bayonets, infantry armor and grenades, the ground is invincible.

The direction and requirements put forward by Zhu Gaochi were recorded in every word of the documents of both sides.

Zhu Gaochi's documents, even if Zhu Gaochi forgets one day because he is busy with affairs, he will tell Zhu Gaochi the situation of the memorandum.

The documents of the factory will be recorded clearly and handed over to the factory for meticulous implementation.

In the military industry, there are many things that have exceeded Zhu Gaochi's satisfaction, and there are still some aspects that have not met his expectations.

For example, rocket artillery.

For example, landmines.

There are many things that later generations took for granted, but the ancients did not know about them.

It's like a car.

When the car first came out, it was a variety of things, and there was nothing that couldn't be done, only the unexpected, and it was still an eye-opener.

Finally, after years of exploration and development, there is a car in people's impression.

The ancients were also very thoughtful.

The people of the Song Dynasty even used porcelain jars to hold gunpowder as bombs.

According to the Institute of Ancient Firearms, the iron-clad explosives of the Southern Song Dynasty laid the foundation for the mines, mines and various explosive bombs created in the late Ming Dynasty.

Hoist, ball, bowl......

All kinds of strange types of explosive bombs, the ancestors can be said to have opened their brains.

It lasted about three centuries from the Northern Song Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was the creation stage of early firearms, which belonged to the stage of learning to walk.

Although it has been used on the battlefield and has a certain scale, from the overall point of view, it was cold weapons that equipped a large number of troops at that time and played a decisive role.

The firearms of the Ming Dynasty were nothing less than advanced.

But in the end, there was not enough to eat, and how could the supply of firearms be guaranteed, and the quality was so poor that the soldiers preferred to use cold weapons.

Eat a full meal.

Always the most important thing.

If you don't have enough to eat, it's all useless.

Therefore, Zhu Gaochi must first develop China Heavy Industry, and then the military industry.

Thank you for returning to Pu, a flying squirrel, it's too slow, in the future, Xiaobai is my husband, glorious biography, toast and don't eat God, silent little fish girl, Banhe book friends for their rewards, thank you book friends for their subscriptions and monthly passes, I wish all book friends all their wishes come true, happiness and health.
