Chapter Seventy-Seven, Accidental Discovery
After visiting so many places, Jiang Yan is undoubtedly the birthplace of AK-47 and the largest firearms production base in CL - Izhevsk Arsenal.
This arsenal is located in the hills of the Ural Mountains outside Moscow.
There is a small city called Izhevsk. There is an arsenal in the town called the Izhevsk Arsenal, which mainly produces firearms. Compared with world-renowned firearms factories such as HK in Germany, Herstal (FN) in Belgium, Colt in the United States, Glock in Austria, and Beretta in Italy, the Izhevsk Arsenal is indeed unknown, but it is indeed the birthplace of the AK-47.
Originally, Jiang Yan thought that this was a larger arsenal, but when he came here, he found that this place was not ordinarily big, it was like a small town in the arsenal.
There are separate shops, hospitals, and almost everything you can think of here, and it's no exaggeration to say that it's a small society.
The guards here are very tight, and from time to time you can see groups of soldiers patrolling, and at the gate, after Yaroslav, the government official who led the team, showed his ID, Jiang Yan and his convoy entered the factory smoothly.
Walking into the factory, you can hear the sound of rumbling machines and busy workers everywhere.
"The main weapon in this workshop is the Mosin-Nagant M1891/30 rifle, which is a star rifle in our country, and it was with this rifle that we used to drive out the invaders in the Great Patriotic War."
Yaroslav, a government official who accompanied him, explained where he was emotional, and took an unfinished rifle and made a shooting motion.
The comrades who came with Jiang Yan listened passionately and discussed it in whispers from time to time.
While discussing, I lamented the strength of the SL Arsenal.
Only Jiang Yan was a little unimpressed, he knew that the rifle introduced by Yaroslav was already an SL obsolete weapon, and their current advanced rifles should be SKS semi-automatic rifles and AK-47 assault rifles.
Originally, I wanted to see these two firearms, but now it seems that I can't fulfill my wish.
Sure enough, after coming out of this workshop, Jiang Yan and the others visited the production workshop of Bobosha submachine guns, the production workshop of grenades, and so on.
They even took a closer tour of the production line. Looking at how this weapon was produced, although the people were very enthusiastic, Jiang Yan could feel the disdain in their eyes.
Although the visit lasted for half a day, this was only a visit to some of the workshops, and one of the comrades of our country proposed to visit other workshops, but Yaroslav very skillfully covered up the past.
If Jiang Yan's guess is correct, those workshops should be producing their latest weapons, the SKS semi-automatic rifle and the AK-47 assault rifle.
The SKS semi-automatic rifle (also known as ckc, Simonov rifle) was designed by the famous SL firearms designer Sergei Gavrirovich Simonov during World War II and finalized in 1946.
In 1956, China introduced a full set of production lines, imitation, slightly improved, stereotyped called 56 semi-automatic rifle, this rifle is China's first standard rifle, its emergence changed the situation of China's weapon "Wanguo brand".
The AK-47 automatic rifle is an automatic rifle designed by SL firearms designer Mikhail Timofeevich Kalashnikov.
The AK-47 automatic rifle was finalized in 1947 and equipped with SL troops in 1949. In addition to large-scale equipment for the S-Army, many countries in the world have also copied or licensed the production of AK rifle series.
Because the AK-47 automatic rifle is the world's most used and low-cost light weapon, it has the characteristics of powerful firepower, easy maintenance, reliable performance, low failure rate, solid and durable, and simple structure. This weapon is used by the armies of more than 50 countries around the world. Countries around the world have produced at least 70 million to 105 million pieces, and later generations are known as the "king of guns". ”
If the volunteer soldiers have these two guns in their hands, it is estimated that they will kill and injure a lot of enemies on the CX battlefield.
Now Jiang Yan is struggling with whether to report these two firearms to the above, but in the blink of an eye, he still doesn't report them.
First, Jiang Yan couldn't explain the source of his own information, although it was said that AK-47 was available all over the world in the future, and even handicraft workshops could produce it, but now AK47 is a new weapon with excellent performance, and of course SL doesn't want to use it for a long time, and the advantages and disadvantages are all mastered by other countries.
There will inevitably be damage on the battlefield, and no matter how much the volunteers take care of their weapons, it is difficult to ensure that they will not be captured by the M army. As a hostile country, CL naturally does not want to be known by Army M.
He doesn't want the Korean Peninsula to be occupied by the United States, but he also doesn't want his neighbors to be too powerful.
So even if the state knows that it wants to buy it, this SL side may not sell it to us.
Then there's the logistical problem, this thing consumes too many bullets, and without ammunition this thing is just a burning stick.
Therefore, this iron has to be hard!
"Dear Davaris, are these scrapped devices?" In the canteen of the arsenal, after a hearty lunch, Jiang Yan and the others were allowed to move around in the designated area.
Jiang Yanlai found a lot of equipment in the empty space on the factory floor, and many of these equipment were rusty.
"Oh, dear Davaris, those pieces of metal aren't mechanical, we deliberately put them here to relieve them of the stress inside."
"You know the stress! It is a force in the manufacturing process of metal, which will be slowly released to change the shape of the metal. ”
Then he explained to Jiang Yan the process of how this stress traveled.
Yaroslav doesn't need to explain this thing, Jiang Yan also knows that this is what he learned in his previous life.
He naturally knows that there are only three ways to relieve stress.
One is natural aging, which relieves stress through natural placement, which takes too long.
The second is the most traditional and popular method - thermal aging method.
The last method is to use sub-resonance to relieve stress, although this method solves the environmental problem of thermal aging, but it is quite cumbersome to use.
Of course, Jiang Yan is not interested in these big iron pieces now, he is interested in the pile of equipment next to him.
"This pile of equipment was the trophy of our great Red Army in the storming of Berlin at the Krupp arsenal in Nazi Germany."
"This Krupp arsenal is an accomplice of Nazi Germany, and it is the weapons they produce that cause so many casualties to us."
"But these machines of Nazi Germany obviously cannot be compared with the machinery of our great SL, and they can only eat dust here."
Jiang Yan didn't listen to Yaroslav's impassioned words, but he still pandered a few times, but his eyes did keep carefully examining the machinery inside.
Even when you get permission to do so, you can watch it up close.
The more Jiang Yan looked at it, the more surprised he became!
Oh my God! Jiang Yan found lathes, milling machines, planers, drilling machines, boring machines, grinding machines, gear making machines, etc. from this pile of machine tools.
These machine tools can be called machine tools, and in simple terms, they are machines that manufacture machines and machinery, commonly known as industrial machine tools.
