Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated Chapter 107

Chapter 107: Cannon Repair in the Yellow River

The old man and the young man returned to the laboratory and started working immediately. Wu Sixue, who was vigorous and resolute, was responsible for preparing the outline of the research and development, while Huang He went to find Shan Wenbao, an otaku.

This irritable old man cannot be called upon by ordinary people. Even if Zhang Wanhe comes, he is likely to be in trouble. After all, he was still a little worried about the simple wind tunnel.

After seeing that all the main R&D personnel had arrived, Mr. Wu walked to a blackboard with a cane.

There is a hand-drawn structural diagram of the Type 92 infantry gun on it. It can be seen from the detailed annotations everywhere that the owner of the drawing must have spent a lot of effort.

Originally, Wu Sixue wanted to imitate the Japanese Type 92 infantry cannon, but after Huang He learned about this idea, he immediately persuaded him.

　　Excluding the ones currently being unlocked, the next decision will give you access to unlock the various artillery pieces of Gallic Chicken.

From small-caliber anti-aircraft guns and anti-tank guns to large-caliber 155mm heavy grenades, who will care about the Japanese's 70mm small water pipe?

Mr. Wu is not an old-fashioned person. When he learned that there was a good product, he put away the idea of imitating it.

However, this drawing was still retained. He planned to select some talented comrades in the military industrial area to let the technicians have early access to the structure and manufacturing process of the artillery.

Now with the mission of brigade commander, this blueprint has a new purpose.

“The structure of this Type 92 infantry gun is relatively simple compared to the barrel guns on the European battlefield. It has more than 120 parts in the whole body, so it is not difficult to manufacture or imitate.”

　　When he said this, the old man specially glanced at Huang He, who was sitting in front of him and pretended to be a good boy. He chose his words and continued:

“And the problem we face this time is not big. We only need to solve the barrel.”

“Which of you two knows what is the difficulty in building a gun barrel based on the current conditions of the logistics department in the base area?”

Mr. Wu, who has studied abroad for most of his life, what he wants to do most after returning to the base area is to pass on the knowledge he has mastered to all comrades who are eager to learn.

For half a month, the old man taught classes to the technical backbones of the military industrial zone almost every day.

Because the comrades there were not very good at teaching, he developed a teaching habit like coaxing a child. When he was not losing his temper, he looked like an experienced teacher.

But neither Huang He nor Shan Wenbao showed a trace of impatience. Every selfless scientist deserves respect.

After hearing this question, the two looked at each other. Seeing the frantic look in Shan Wenbao's eyes, who was afraid of trouble, Huang He finally answered the question.

“The first difficulty is the rifling. We don't have the conditions to fix it here. If you do it by hand, it will be very time-consuming. Even if Mr. Wu teaches you this craft step by step, the first batch of apprentices will not be able to start until next year.”

“The second difficulty is the gun steel. If we use the toughening technology we currently have, the gun barrel will definitely not be strong enough.”

“Even if it can be made reluctantly, it is only a consumable. When the time comes, the commanders on the front line will definitely scold them again.”

The toughening technology in the mouth of the Yellow River refers to: black-hearted toughening on the Chouguo side and white-hearted toughening on the Sandezi side.

As a veteran of the world, Mr. Wu is naturally proficient in these skills. The reason why these two technologies are prioritized for promotion is to increase the artillery shell production capacity of the Military Industrial Zone of the Logistics Department.

Although Huanghe can provide a certain number of various types of artillery shells every month, the quantity is limited by the output of the military factories in the system.

Even though the two newly established firearms factories have been systematically recognized, there are still only five munitions factories.

Because there is still a big gap in the basic infantry equipment of the Eighth Route Army, things like artillery shells can only be provided in small batches.

At present, white pig iron is mainly used in the base area. This metal is brittle and hard, and the shell shells cast with it cannot meet the minimum requirements for turning.

But once these white pig irons made by local methods are toughened, it will bring about earth-shattering changes in the production of artillery shells.

It can not only improve the processing performance, but also greatly increase the output of artillery shells. The quality of the weapons has also been enhanced to make the self-produced artillery shells further meet the needs of the front line.

Once the military factory can increase the production of artillery shells, it will share some of the pressure on the Yellow River.

However, there is good news recently.

Under the leadership of the deputy director, the rear area has successfully developed the first batch of MAS-36 and FM-24/29 production lines. Although the technology is not yet mature enough, a very small number of firearms have a certain failure rate when used, resulting in newly established firearms factories not yet being recognized by the system.

But Huang He believes that the comrades in the rear area will continue to make progress and one day pass the systematic quality inspection. What's more, being able to produce its own weapons is of great significance to the Eighth Route Army. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is replacing a shotgun with a cannon.

Eight ways of magic weapons! The future is promising!

After hearing Huang He's answer, Wu Sixue nodded with satisfaction. He was very satisfied with this young doctor.

“I can be responsible for the rifling part, using a method similar to broaching with a hook knife. There is no reason why we, the descendants of ancient civilizations, cannot master the things that the native Americans know.”

"The gun body has also been replaced. I am going to use the big axle of the Japanese train to replace it. That thing is made of high carbon steel, which is more than enough for the gun barrel."

“It's a pity that the original shells can no longer be used. The caliber of the new barrel will definitely be larger, and the shells need to be remade.”

After scientists reach the level of the Yellow River and Shanwenbao, it often only takes a short time to judge the feasibility of something. Although it is not their professional field, their knowledge reserve is amazing.

What's more, as an engineer who studied in Gaul, Huang He has had close contact with Miss 75. Although he didn't fire a few shots himself, he knew that this famous rapid-fire cannon was made of high-carbon steel technology.

If a large shaft is used to cast the gun body, even if the lifespan is average, it can at least solve the problem of making something from scratch.

The three of them discussed this idea for a few minutes. After confirming that nothing was missing, they sent Wang Dexing to find Zhang Wanhe to raise the demand.

After all, the Japanese train axle is not easy to deal with. It is estimated that a certain army will need to conduct an ambush to bring back the materials they need.

But this matter is not too troublesome. The Eighth Route Army often raids the railways and knows the movements of the Japanese trains very well.

But less than half an hour later, Wang Dexing ran back with a happy face. He opened the door of the laboratory and said excitedly:

“Director! The big shaft will be sent over soon! Get ready! The comrades will be here in five minutes.”

This result really made the three of them look confused. Someone gave them pillows when they really fell asleep. But this is the logistics department of the Eighth Route Army after all, so it's understandable that things are a little messy.

After a while, Huang He saw a transport team arriving at the entrance of the laboratory. The person leading the team was Zhang Wanhe, whom he had not seen for a while.

As the saying goes, when a fellow villager meets a fellow villager, his eyes well up with tears.

Zhang Wanhe put his arm around Huang He's shoulders with a smile and lightly hammered him twice. He said with a bit of a bad smile:

“Young man, I don't know how long I've been waiting for this day. In the past, you always provided supplies for the logistics department, but this time it's finally my turn to show off.”

“You can use these two big axes first. If they are not enough, send someone to find me. We have four more in the warehouse.”

“But what a coincidence, our workers behind enemy lines just destroyed a Japanese factory some time ago and brought back some things from the train. As a result, they are used today. You are so lucky!”

Hearing Zhang Wanhe's words, Huang He suddenly thought of the decision to passively unlock some time ago, but now it is inconvenient to check the system, so he can only give up temporarily.

"Lao Zhang, thank you. I won't say much more! We will try our best to reduce losses at once. Just wait for our good news."

Zhang Wanhe and others also knew that every second of time was precious now, so they moved the train axle into the laboratory and left.

After saying hello to Mr. Wu and Shan Wenbao, Huang He returned to his room first. After all, he couldn't help with the initial work.

With no one around, Huang He opened the system interface. Not surprisingly, these train axles are indeed related to the last decision.

“The Pride of Workers Behind Enemy Lines: Current Progress 2/4

At present, in Jin Province, a civilian factory has been damaged and forced to suspend production.

Yangquan Patrol Team was completely annihilated by the Eighth Route Army workers behind enemy lines while holding a birthday party for the captain.

The Taiyuan Arsenal sabotage plan is in progress, and the bridge bombing operation at the Huting stronghold is being planned. "

Although he didn't know the specific situation, seeing that the Japanese had suffered a lot of losses, Huang He still waved his fist excitedly.

You have all guessed the prototype of Mr. Wu, and I specially strengthened it in the book.
