African Nationhood

Chapter 321 Recoilless Rifle

This should be an artillery piece. The slender tail of the barrel in front of me is enlarged, and there are several cannonballs with gap fences on the slender tails next to it.

Although the gun's bracket is a tripod, it has bolts to adjust the angle.

There is a bracket and a barrel, and the group of people is loading a slender cannonball into the barrel.

As an artillery technician, Liang Baoyou couldn't help but be curious about the function of this "rod" cannon, but the young man in military uniform who led them did not stop at the strange-style cannon, and the two of them had to continue walking.

When they reached the end of the factory, there was a loud "bang" sound.

The group of people passing by just now burst into cheers. The young man in military uniform who led them was not disturbed by the noise and continued walking as usual.

Both Yuan Asheng and Liang Baoyou were attracted by the sound and turned around frequently to check.

The young man in military uniform also noticed the abnormality between the two of them. He stopped the two of them, "Don't look around. Your confidentiality level does not allow you to see the development of this new type of weapon."

Because you have just arrived, we have not implemented a confidentiality system for you. If an old employee discovers such behavior, he can be directly characterized as a secret stealer.

You guys, please pay attention next time, you know? "

Hearing what the young man in military uniform said, Yuan Asheng and Liang Baoyou immediately retracted their heads, not daring to look any further.

They walked for a while, Yuan Asheng was asked to stay outside and wait, and then he heard a burst of laughter from the room.

The man, who was obviously an official of the factory, expressed his welcome to Liang Baoyou, and then explained to him the job classification and salary package.

Yuan Asheng heard that Liang Baoyou was rated as Level 150 when he first entered the factory, with a basic salary of 3 yuan in military coupons, and a probation period of 30 months. After passing the assessment after three months, he can be allowed to take care of apprentices, with an additional subsidy of yuan for each apprentice. Yuan military ticket.

If you have 10 apprentices plus basic wages, you will have 4 and a half acres of land per month.

That's dozens of acres of land in one year, and hundreds of acres of land after ten years of continuous work.

You are so good, and in ten years you will basically have no worries about your retirement!

At this moment, Yuan Asheng began to fantasize in his mind. He had fantasized about the dream of life countless times, a big house, a beautiful family and acres of land!

……

When Liang Baoyou and the young man in military uniform came out, he followed the young man in military uniform and left first.

A middle-aged man in military uniform walked out of the room, "Are you Yuan Asheng?"

Yuan Asheng immediately replied with a smile: "Yes, I am."

The middle-aged man in military uniform smiled and said: "Xiao Zeng told me that you are willing to naturalize, right?"

"Yes, I have thought about it now. Our whole family will be naturalized in Southwest Africa together. I will ask someone to write to my family and send a telegram to ask them to come together."

The middle-aged man in military uniform laughed and said: "Well, your decision is right. I am Xu Huange, the director of Factory 621. On behalf of Factory 621, I welcome you to join our factory.

Now you go with me to go through the formalities, and later I will take you over to get to know the colleagues in the research and development team of the new artillery. "

Hearing Director Xu say this, Yuan Asheng was a little surprised, "I just came here. I heard that young man just now say that my confidentiality level cannot be..."

"This is a special case. We already have your information. You can't be a spy sent by the enemy. Come on, I'll take you to go through the onboarding procedures."

Yuan Asheng also wanted to ask the other party, when did he investigate him?

But thinking that someone can support such a big stall, there must be a way to find out about him.

I really have no objections, I just want to live a good life.

So Yuan Asheng, under the leadership of Director Xu, quickly completed the entry procedures, and his confidentiality level was also raised to level 3.

There was a special confidentiality instructor who popularized confidentiality regulations to him. This confidentiality class made him aware of the risks of leaking secrets and the guilt that his family would suffer.

Among them, the article "Never be allowed to serve in the military or politics" made him shudder.

"You have kept secrets for the company, and your income will be protected accordingly. These rights and obligations are relative, right?"

Yuan Ah Sheng couldn't figure out what his rights and obligations were. He would do whatever the factory asked him to do, and he would do nothing wrong if he obeyed orders.

"Well, yes, I will listen to you." After the confidentiality class, Director Xu took him to the strange-style cannon again.

"Old Ren, come here."

Following Director Xu's call, a man in military uniform in his early thirties walked quickly over from the crowd.

"This is Ren Pingren, the leader of the 'recoilless rifle' research and development team. You will obey his orders from now on, do you understand?"

Yuan Asheng nodded immediately, "Yes, yes, hello, team leader, I am Yuan Asheng."

Ren Ping looked at Yuan Asheng for a while, and then asked in a low voice: "What can he do?"

Xu Huange chuckled, "Don't underestimate people, this Yuan Asheng's sand casting skills are very good.

Haven't you always needed a sand foundry technician? One happened to come, so I intercepted it and brought it to you. "

Yuan Asheng was afraid that Team Leader Ren would look down on him, so he smiled and nodded and said: "Team Leader Ren, my skills in sand casting are quite good, and my master always praises me."

Ren Ping nodded, "Thank you, director, we will go there first."

Xu Huange said "Yeah" and left with his hands behind his back.

……

"How many years have you been making sand molds?"

Yuan Asheng replied with a smile: "It has been several years. I have been an apprentice with the master since I was 10 years old, and it has been 8 years now.

I started making molds when I was 16 years old, and have been making molds on my own for 2 years now. During this period, I have cast train and locomotive castings that are more than 3 meters long, as well as small (5cm) objects. "

Ren Ping nodded, "Let's see your skills later. We made a few cannonballs by hand, and now we want to try the effect of live ammunition.

However, the number of experimental bombs is not enough, so I want to cast some more bomb bodies for experimentation.

If you can cast it out of sand, we will give you credit.

If you can't do it, get out! "

Yuan Asheng immediately nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will try my best!"

Only when he got into the crowd did Yuan Asheng clearly see what the long cannon looked like.

The length of this gun must be about 2 meters, the caliber is not too large, and there is actually a gap in the breech block.

In addition, its cannonballs are also very peculiar, with a long and slender body and numerous grid holes at the tail.

“This kind of cannonball is specially used to release the gunpowder gas generated after the cannonball is excited, so it is made into a grid-empty type.

You need as much sand as possible to make the shell and the hollow tail, can you do it? "

Yuan Asheng looked at the tail shroud and the thin-shell projectile filled with grid space, and smiled, "This kind of casting is not a big problem, but what materials are needed to build it?
  Gray pig iron or steel? Are any of you turners and millers? "

Ren Ping knew as soon as he heard that Yuan Asheng was knowledgeable. The artillery shells of this era were cast from these two materials, and then needed to be turned into semi-finished products that were smooth both inside and outside with a lathe.

It was only in the past two years that Nanhua Company broke through the restrictions and mastered the production process of gray pig iron to use it to make homemade grenade shell materials.

As for the white cast iron material, which is too hard and brittle, it is mainly used to make mines and grenade shells.

The company's two steelmaking plants are now controlled by the British, and Nanhua Company cannot withhold steel at will.

However, the refining process of pig iron is under the control of Nanhua Company, and they can secretly intercept some of it to produce shell casings.

"Gray cast iron, can you do it?"

Yuan Asheng nodded, "No problem, it can be done at any time. Where do you plan to locate the sand foundry workshop?"
