Chapter 1026: The Development of the Arsenal
Under all kinds of measures, everything in the arsenal is impossible for others to know except for some high-level officials of the Sichuan Army Independent Regiment such as Lu Yuan Su Yan. Ran Wen is small? Say??.? r?anen`org
Of course, the high-level of the Eighth Route Army knows a little bit about it, after all, many of the technicians in the arsenal were sent by the Eighth Route Army, but these people naturally know how important the arsenal is to Trojan County and how important it is to them, so they naturally won't say it easily.
After layers of guarding, they finally entered the arsenal, which was divided into many small caves, and there were no less than three or five hundred people sitting densely, including men, women, and children, among whom there were most of the disabled, those with broken legs, missing half an arm, or missing an eye.
"Hello Captain Lu!"
"Captain, you're here, everyone misses you!"
As soon as they saw Lu Yuan, many workers in the arsenal stood up one after another and greeted Lu Yuan affectionately, especially those who were disabled, and their eyes were full of tears.
These people were all wounded in battle, some were from the Eighth Route Army, and more were wounded from Trojan County, and they could never return to the battlefield.
With the degree of their disability, it is obviously difficult to plow the fields, and many of the tasks in the factories cannot be done, and under normal circumstances, their lives will be extremely difficult.
According to the degree of their disability, Lu Yuan assigned them to the arsenal to do some assembly work that did not require much physical strength, so that they could clearly feel the preferential treatment and let everyone know that these people were combat heroes, and the regiment would never let the heroes shed blood and tears!
At the same time, these people are loyal and courageous, and now they are treated preferentially, which is even more grateful to the regiment, and can also play a role in stabilizing the morale of the army in the arsenal.
"Okay, okay, everyone, you're welcome, this is what you deserve, this is what you paid for with your blood!"
Lu Yuan patted a few people on the shoulder and said: "Work hard, earn more money so that your family can live a good life, and you can also continue to contribute to fighting devils in this position!" ”
"Commander, don't worry, we will definitely live up to your expectations!" Everyone clenched their fists and assured Lu Yuan.
"Regiment Commander, since the introduction of the assembly line you mentioned, our production efficiency has improved a lot, in the past, we could only produce seven or eight national male guns a day, but now we can produce more than ten most of the time, and the output of mine grenades has increased even more......"
Zhao Ruilong, the director of the arsenal, came over and reported with a happy face: "Moreover, after assigning each link to an individual, they are obviously more handy, and the error rate is much less......
"That's good, that's what I expected!"
Lu Yuan said with a smile, his heart said that the most important point, Zhao Ruilong definitely didn't know.
That is, after each process is assigned to the head, even if some of these people are extremely hidden and harbor evil intentions, then their familiarity with the arsenal is only in one of his own links, and they are not familiar with the rest of the links at all, so as to further improve the effect of secrecy.
"Director Zhao, all kinds of inventory in the arsenal should be reported!" Su Yan Road.
"Okay, our arsenal can now produce more than five hundred grenades and grenades per day, and more than two hundred mines......"
Zhao Ruilong took out a notebook from the small room and looked at it and said: "Grenades, mines, and grenades are all made and sent out, the battle consumption a while ago was too great, and the old bottom has been hollowed out, and now there are more than 4,000 grenades left in the warehouse, and all the more than 6,000 national guns are in the warehouse, and none of them have come out, and the total number is more than 1,400 ......."
"Hurry up, Director Zhao, you also know the war situation, the little devil doesn't know when he will fight, only if we are fully prepared, can the little devil taste our strength when the time comes, and can we hold our base!"
Su Yan instructed with a solemn face: "Especially the Guoxiong semi-automatic rifle, you must hurry up!" ”
"Deputy Head Su, the brothers have really done their best......
Zhao Ruilong complained bitterly: "The gun parts mold in our factory is still very defective, and all kinds of parts have to be repaired manually after they are cast, which is almost semi-handmade...... Moreover, the requirements for guns are very high, and we must strictly control the quality, if the factory is too inaccurate or has problems, when the time comes, it will be even more troublesome to equip the troops......
"Director Zhao, Deputy Head Su didn't blame you, just do your best and don't
Lu Yuan comforted, these problems, light urging is useless, after all, the current industrial level is only like this, it is good to be able to produce Guoxiong semi-automatic rifles semi-manually and semi-mechanically, and if you want to ensure the quality of large-scale production, unless you have higher-precision machine tools and so on.
It's just that these things, now it is estimated that only the Yankees, Germans, and Japanese have them, and because they are related to the military industry, they can't be bought back with money, not to mention that the county has no money at all now!
"Thank you for your understanding......," Zhao Ruilong said movingly.
"Mutual understanding, by the way, how are the artillery drawings I gave you?" Lu Yuan asked.
"Although the quality of our steel is good, if it is used to make cannon barrels, the strength is still not enough...... Zhao Ruilong said.
"Bold!"
Lu Yuan said without hesitation: "I know that the thicker the barrel, the heavier the weight will be, and it will be difficult to move, but this time we are going to fight a defensive battle, and the gun position is almost fixed, so there is no need to move at all!" ”
"I know this, Pan Gaogong means that the manufacture of the cannon body is relatively simple, and it is still too late to put it on hold in the future, and the main thing is to overcome the difficulties of the cannonball, and at the same time try to improve the cannon body and reduce the ......weight as much as possible," Zhao Ruilong said.
"Well, I know, what Pan Gaogong said also makes sense, you can discuss it!"
Lu Yuan said with a smile: "By the way, Dr. Sun Xing in the team of returnees is an expert in chemical engineering, and in terms of shells, you and Pan Gaogong should also consult him more!" ”
After arranging these, Lu Yuan took Su Yan to wander around the arsenal for a long time, and he was unwilling to leave.
War is not only a struggle between people, but also a competition of resources and science and technology.
There are many reasons why this war was fought so humiliatingly, and the inferiority of weapons and equipment is also a major factor that must not be ignored.
With the arsenal and the knowledge of weapons far beyond this era, sooner or later, the disadvantages of weapons and equipment will be smoothed out little by little, and finally even occupy a great advantage!
It's just that this takes time, not something that can be completed overnight, not only there are too many technical difficulties to overcome, but more importantly, to solve the copper mine problem.
