Chapter 929: Metal Bullets

A faint scent of smoke permeated the imperial study. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The map of Kanto in the imperial study was quietly hung on the wall, but at this time, the red dots marked by Xiao Ming seemed to be getting bigger and bigger in the eyes of Niu Ben and Luo Quan.

There is no doubt that this will be the powder keg of the next war, and this time they will have to deal with a European power, and a dead steppe tribe.

The matter was agreed, and the three discussed the details of the war in front of the map.

In the eyes of the three of them, it is not difficult to deal with Tsarist Russia, because the current army of the Great Chongqing State not only has firearms higher than Tsarist Russia, but also fights at home, and its advantages are very obvious.

The only variable was the Golden Horde, which was shrinking in the steppes and waiting for an opportunity, these cavalry were still a real threat to the Great Yu State, and the main force of Tsarist Russia's eastward expansion was also the advance force of the Cosats, who and the Golden Horde were nomads living in the steppe.

After ten years of development, he is very confident in the Great Chongqing Kingdom, but this self-confidence is not blind, and he admits that it is inferior to the Golden Horde and the Gosats in terms of cavalry.

But since cavalry was not his advantage, he wanted to crush the enemy's advantage, and the weapon that shattered the enemy's advantage was the machine gun that killed countless people during the First World War.

In the past, he could only think of this kind of war weapon, but now that electricity is applied in Qingzhou, Qingzhou's industry can be completely upgraded, which makes him see hope.

This industrial upgrade will give him the ability to create more sophisticated weapons.

After setting the basic strategy, Xiao Ming asked Niu Ben and Luo Quan to go back, and he settled down to sort out the scientific and technological materials of the nineteenth century, and now that he has electricity, he can unlock more technology.

At the same time, with the improvement of science and technology, the technical knowledge required is becoming more and more complex, and after the advent of electricity, he needs to be more deeply involved in industrial construction.

After ten years of hard work, the industry of Dayu has grown from scratch, and now it has a complete foundation, and now it is time to show the real advantages of science and technology spars, after all, even if he wants to realize the science and technology in the past, there is no foundation, and now this is no longer a problem.

After a busy morning, Xiao Ming went to Qingzhou University in the afternoon.

In the two years of the war, he never stopped lecturing at Qingzhou University, and under his personal practice, Qingzhou University gave birth to many scientific and technological talents in the past two years, and these talents entered all walks of life in Chongqing after graduation and became the backbone of technology.

Among them, the elite of them entered various research laboratories to complete the scientific and technological tasks he delivered one by one, and in general, what he is participating in now is generally the current cutting-edge technology, and there is no need to spend energy on ordinary technology, because someone naturally does it.

When he arrived at the school, Xiao Ming looked at the people sitting below, Lin Wentao, Lu Tong, Song Changping, Chen Qi, Zhang Liu, etc., basically the people in the industrial core of Dayu were there.

Glancing at everyone, he said straight to the point: "What I want to talk to you today is about the manufacture of metal bullets, in general, the process of manufacturing metal bullets is very complicated, at least more than 100 procedures are required, and just a cartridge case requires 20 to 30 procedures, and it is much more difficult to establish a metal bullet production line than a firearm production line, so the development of metal bullets in military factories requires your joint efforts." “

"Metal bullets." Song Changping's eyes couldn't help but light up, Xiao Ming had already mentioned this concept to him, but it was limited to the fact that it could not be completed without the corresponding machinery.

Now that the emperor mentioned it, he saw hope.

Like Song Changping, the others were also excited, because they knew very well that the production of metal bullets contained too many things, and they also needed to participate in it.

Xiao Ming noticed the expressions of the people, he was very satisfied with the tireless spirit of Lin Wentao and others, the effect of science and technology crystals may have had a huge impact on them over the years, but their own attitude is also extremely important.

It is because of the combination of the two that they are able to surpass the talent of any scientist in Europe.

Nodding slightly, Xiao Ming turned on the technology spar, which was something he had to do before each lecture, so that they could memorize what he said in more detail, and they could also see the production process and structure of a machine as if they were there.

In just ten years, he has developed the country from a country without any industrial base to a level equivalent to the mid-to-late eighteenth century, and scientific and technological spars are crucial.

Now the advent of electricity will make it easier for Xiao Ming to realize the technology in the technology hedron, and this is why he is so excited after generating electricity.

"In general, the structure of the metal fixed ammunition is the same as that of the paper shell bullet, which is divided into four parts: warhead, propellant, cartridge case, and primer. Xiao Ming said slowly.

Because of the existence of scientific and technological crystals, Xiao Ming has detailed machinery and processes necessary for bullet production in his mind, and it can be said that the production of metal bullets is a difficult task.

If you want to produce metal bullets, one of the most basic things is a mechanical punch, also called a stamping machine, which must be used in the punch needed in the production of metal bullets.

Because the function of the mechanical punch is for the plate, through the mold, the punch can make blanking, punching, forming, drawing, trimming, fine blanking, shaping, riveting and extrusion, in which the bullet primer part needs to be stamped on the copper plate.

When Xiao Ming spoke, a clear picture appeared in everyone's minds, which was driven by an electric motor, and the flywheel was driven by the clutch and transmission gear to drive the crank connecting rod mechanism to move the slider up and down.

In motion, the copper plates are punched into the bowl, and then the screen turns, and they see some precision molds, which are installed on complex lathes, and the different structures of bullets are constantly shaped by these complex lathes.

In one afternoon, Xiao Ming systematically introduced the entire bullet production process, and divided the different tasks to different people.

Among them, Lu Tong is naturally responsible for priming and propellant, Lin Wentao is responsible for the production of punches and other machinery, while Zhang Liu is responsible for the manufacture of molds, and Song Changping and Chen Qi are cooperating with Lin Wentao to check the caliber of the current firearms in Dayu and verify the fit between bullets and rifling.

"Your Majesty, is it certain that the metal bullet will use a steel shell this time?"

After generally mastering the knowledge of metal bullets, Song Changping raised questions, judging from his knowledge, the advantages of copper shells are much greater.

"That's right, it's a steel shell, after all, the copper of Dayu is not rich." Xiao Ming lamented that the copper in Dayu is indeed not rich, and he now needs to use copper for electricity.
