Starting from the bright sword to engage in military industry

Chapter 419 Chapter 418, even the machine gun came out

The Taihang Mountains, which run from north to south, cannot stop the severe cold in winter.So after entering December, the diversion canal in the back mountain of Jiuzhai showed signs of freezing.By January, it was already frozen enough to walk on the ice.

In such a severe cold season, the barrel processing center by the canal and the horse rifle production line naturally had to reduce production.It's all right now, Hu Changyi proposed, and the chiefs agreed to scrap the horse rifle production line directly.

The original workers, except for Li Fugui who stayed in the arsenal, the rest of the technicians brought the workers and were assigned to the arsenal workshop below to improve the ordnance construction of the Eighth Route.

It is worth mentioning that these people will also be responsible for the shotguns of various workshops and the transformation of old guns into shotguns after they go down. They even took over the manufacture of grenade projectile tubes, so that the production capacity of the main factory will no longer be delayed.

The idle workshop was used by Hu Changyi as an electroplating workshop, which was responsible for hard chrome plating on the inner wall and barrel of the newly built gun barrels.

The process of chrome plating is very complicated. It needs to control the process of electroplating solution, prepare positive and negative electrodes, etc., and it is not just done.Of course, the most important thing is to have metal chrome on hand!Without chrome, it's useless.

But Hu Changyi couldn't help it. He had a system that hadn't shown up for a long time. When he hijacked the train, he directly exchanged 800 kilograms of metal chrome for it.The 800 kilograms of metal chromium is enough for Luda to experiment with the barrel steel, and it is also enough to chrome-plate the barrel made of new barrel steel.

As the head of a factory, Hu Changyi doesn't need to do the work himself!With technicians like Fu Yunpeng who have worked in foreign arsenals and various raw materials, the final electroplating process is not a problem.

"Director, the gun barrels have been cleaned, a total of 210 qualified gun barrels!" Ouyang Leizhen, who had returned from studying abroad at Mao Xiong's house, was drawn to be in charge of the electroplating process.He had been an intern in Mao Xiong's gun factory, and he knew how to chrome-plate gun barrels.

"210 pieces... It's almost there, send the barrel. Your next task is to continue to process the newly forged barrel blanks. For these blanks, we use the barrel steel newly made by Luda. There is not so much redundancy in the outer circle, so there are very few opportunities for you to correct mistakes, so pay attention.”

Because the barrel steel is not easy to come by, Hu Changyi naturally does not leave enough allowance for the blank to process the barrel of the shotgun as before.He designed the forging die with the least amount of processing in mind.

"We understand!" Ouyang Leizhen said.

"It's good to understand! You gradually take over the existing gun barrel processing equipment. When the ice and snow melt in the spring of next year, you will be responsible for the production of gun barrels! There are gun barrel steel and rail steel." Hu Changyi said.

"Yes, factory manager!" Ouyang Leizhen saluted and left.

About half an hour later, the 210 gun barrels were carried by the soldiers and placed in the new weapon research and development workshop where Hu Changyi was.

"With the barrel and belt, other parts have already been processed. So... let's do it!" Looking at the complete parts, Hu Changyi began to assemble them. A few minutes later, a machine gun appeared on the chopping board.

"Ding... This is an imitation 58 continuous-use machine gun. The prototype gun is an RP46 continuous-use machine gun. The caliber is 7.92, and the theoretical rate of fire is 600 rounds per minute... The life of the barrel is 1 rounds..." Turn on the system assistance, and listen to the system give Hu Changyi nodded in satisfaction with the appraisal result.

The performance of this gun is almost the same as that of the 58 company, except that the life of the barrel is not so ideal, everything else is good.

With one successful machine gun, Hu Changyi was so excited that he immediately started to assemble the remaining 59 machine guns.

"These guns are equipped with ammunition chains. If they are fired together, it will be enough for a kid to drink a pot!" Stretching his sore back, he looked at the neatly placed machine guns from a distance. , Hu Changyi thought it was a beauty.

"This gun can be equipped with 3 guns in a company. If there are more, the consumption of bullets will be too high. It would be great if it can completely replace the Min [-]. The Min [-] is too bulky! Especially in this season, The water-cooled heavy machine gun is obviously not as easy to use as this air-cooled machine gun." Hu Changyi sighed.

"Well, a company is equipped with three guns, plus 9 Qilali light machine guns, the firepower is quite strong! That is, I don't even think about having bullets in stock! Come on, tell me Lao Zhang, you How long is the ammunition belt for the machine gun? Tell me the exact number!" Minister Zhang's voice sounded behind Hu Changyi.

"Hey, Minister Zhang, you are good at showing up without a sound! If this is a sneak attack, I will be caught!" Hu Changyi turned around and said with a smiling face.He already knew about Minister Zhang's arrival, and what he said just now was for Minister Zhang.

"Hey... I've known for a long time that you kid is tinkering with new weapons... It's not bad, this time it's a machine gun, is this made from the rotary machine gun of Maoxiong's family? It's not bad, it's better than your submachine gun It is much stronger, at least it can be equipped on a large scale in the army." Minister Zhang said.

"Hey, I took the submachine gun for granted. Didn't we make a shotgun to remedy it! Uncle Zhang, look, this is the double-use machine gun imitated by my new research! The specific model is still waiting for the orders from the chiefs , I will temporarily call him the 39th machine gun." Hu Changyi said.

"Don't be sloppy, how do you plan to equip this gun with a belt? Tell me, I can stand it!" Minister Zhang said.

"Reporting to the head: This continuous machine gun has three types of non-scatter chains. The shortest is a 50-round chain, which is suitable for machine gunners to carry machine guns to participate in assault operations; the medium-sized one is 150 rounds, which is suitable for company platoon attacks, The defense provides machine gun fire assistance."

"The longest one is a 250-round non-scattering chain. It is mainly because the ammunition hand is convenient to carry ammunition, and it is suitable for defending solid machine gun fortifications! After answering, please give instructions!" Hu Changyi said loudly.

"Hiss..." Minister Zhang stretched out his hand and rubbed his temples, and took a deep breath: "Okay, this gun looks pretty good, haven't you taken it to the proving ground for live ammunition shooting experiments? Come on, let's go .”

"Minister Zhang, don't you give any advice on this belt?" Hu Changyi asked.

"What's your opinion? You've said it so clearly, what can I have a problem with? But judging from the weight of this gun, it's indeed much lighter than the Min [-]. It depends on the opinions of the regiment leaders." Minister Zhang said.

"They won't have any objections. This is not a submachine gun...Oh, by the way, Minister Zhang, I released the 82." Hu Changyi said.
"82, it's time to imitate it... You said you made it? Why didn't I get the letter?" Minister Zhang was really shocked this time.
