Chapter 137 The production of bullets
In the research room at Lushan Base, there was a busy scene. The tension and chaos outside did not pass here. The staff present were still engaged in technical research in an orderly manner as usual.
Zhong Yang was leading Xu Yongsheng, Changsheng and a research team led by them, who were testing the improved automatic rifle.
Zu Jie used continuous fire to fire a ten-round magazine. After removing the empty magazine, he loaded a magazine filled with bullets and handed the gun to Zhong Yang. This semi-automatic rifle designed by Zhong Yang suggested that Xu Yongsheng lead the entire research team to cooperate with the Germans is becoming more and more pleasing.
Because when the recoil was transmitted to his shoulders through the buttstock when he fired the gun, Zu Jie also felt the wonderful feeling of pleasure, as if the inner slaughter was vented as the bullets were spewed...
Zhong Yang took the x-22 gun handed to him by Zu Jie, aimed at the gun target in the distance and fired accurately. Ten bullets were fired continuously, and all two hundred meters of targets were hit. This gun also performed very well in the subsequent medium and long distances, fully realizing the original intention of suppressing other rifles in this era.
After Zhong Yang finished the test shooting, he handed the rifle to Xu Yongsheng beside him, and asked them to take other semi-automatic rifles of the same type and shoot a few magazines, so as to experience the feeling of this gun. Ji Xiaoliang and others were already impatient. After hearing Zhong Yang's words, they quickly followed suit and closed the security, and fired continuously.
With Wang Liwen's professional vision, he also realized that soldiers equipped with this semi-automatic rifle and soldiers equipped with manual single-shot rifle can overwhelm the opponent in one-on-one duel. The only concern about the opponent is that they are difficult to emerge is the pressure on logistics. High firing rate means high consumption. Whether the supply of bullets can keep up with the speed of use becomes the key to everything.
Then I tested the stg-22 made by the Germans themselves. Due to preconceived reasons, everyone was not very interested in the stg-22 German assault rifle. This gun was too ugly compared to the x-22 type assault rifle. Only 36 rounds were loaded into the bullet and two fewer than the x-22. Only clicks made everyone shake their heads. They were consistently not optimistic about the German-made stg-22.
In fact, the m1 Garland rifle is a very good gun.
However, today, with the comparison of the x-22 semi-automatic rifle named after Xu Yongsheng's surname, the gun was a little disapproved by everyone. Then he began to test the Woodpecker submachine gun. The assault ability of this gun surprised Wang Liwen and others present.
The gun was even more refreshing. After a while, a thirty-two round magazine was exhausted, which made everyone at the test site scream excitedly. This gun was too shocking for them. Now, except for the continuous firepower of the Maxim machine gun exceeds that of this submachine gun, no gun can be compared with this medium and short rifle.
Li Shaojie also picked up a "Woodpecker" and hit a magazine. His favorite for the Woodpecker submachine gun was more than the x-22 semi-automatic rifle.
The firepower of the Woodpecker submachine gun made the people present very excited. In the future, the soldiers under his command could sweep all forces in the surrounding areas with semi-automatic rifles, combined with the X-22 submachine gun, and other types of weapons. Even in the face of the upcoming tension, everyone was optimistic. Chen Jiongming was worried about logistics issues and ignored the importance of continuous firepower weapons. However, the officers of the Nansha Militia Corps would not rebel against the same mistake.
Because Tianyu Group's industrial capacity allows this advanced weapon to have the opportunity to exert its power unscrupulously. Compared with warlords who still use old-fashioned manual single-shot rifles, the generation difference between the weapons between the two sides has been increased by one level. With such generation difference pairs, there are some people who can see it.
At this time, it was the gap in strength. People present exchanged views on whether you are cultured or not. Afterwards, they looked at the researchers present and felt grateful and glad. They were undoubtedly willing to join such a powerful organization.
By being able to produce such weapons on its own, how brilliant and brilliant the development of the entire system will be in the future
"Eternal Life, are there any problems with production?" Zhong Yang ignored the officers who were still testing the stability of the guns. He turned around and asked the production questions. The sample guns had been created, and the rest were production problems. No matter how well-designed the guns were designed, it would be meaningless if they could not be produced in large quantities and conveniently.
"President, the production of the x-22 semi-automatic rifle is much more troublesome than the stg-22 assault rifle designed by the Germans. If it is produced in a small quantity, I suggest you choose the x-22 semi-automatic rifle. If it is produced in large quantities, it is better to use the stg-22 semi-automatic rifle."
In terms of gun research and commercial production, he is a very practical and professional person, and will not mislead Zhong Yang's decisions because of his personal feelings. When facing professional questions, he always tells the truth, which is why Zhong Yang values him.
"If this is not too much trouble, then mass-produce the stg-22 rifle first. However, you must step up the research on the spare parts of the x-22 rifle. You have also seen that these guys are not as fond of this stg-22 semi-automatic rifle as you." Zhong Yang rarely joked at Xu Yongsheng in a relaxed tone.
"President, there is no major problem in the production of the Woodpecker submachine gun. The main problem is that the bullets are not well received. The military believes that the steel-shell bullets are worse than copper-shell bullets in terms of accuracy and actual effects such as stuck." Xu Yongsheng raised a very realistic question.
The secret arsenal under the Guwenhui Society is to produce the above three models of bullets, two of which are the stg-22 and x-22 rifles, which are different types of bullets. China is a country that lacks copper, and the copper inventory in Guwenhui Society is obviously unable to support the production of a large amount of bullets.
When the bullet is fired, it must rotate, and the accuracy will be greatly reduced. In order to rotate the bullet, it must be rifled in the barrel. In order to make the bullet rotate with the rifle, it must be inserted into the recess of the rifle. The barrel is steel, so there must be a warhead softer than steel to make the bullet, so that the steel rifle is not easy to wear. If steel is used as the bullet shell, the rifle of the barrel will be soon finished and will become a smoothbore gun.
The problem was one after another. Zhong Yang said, holding the stubble on his chin with his hands, but this problem was not a problem for Zhong Yang. Alloy research is also being carried out in full swing, hoping to find the raw materials for replacing copper. China's copper is very scarce, and there are not so many copper resources to make bullets and shells squander.
Xu Yongsheng also made a temporary suggestion, that is, to adopt the processing technology of copper-plated steel. If copper is used, because the copper has better ductility, the taper of the shell can be made larger, and it is not allowed to be broken. The copper itself is an inert metal and is not easy to be oxidized, which is conducive to preservation.
However, China is relatively scarce. If copper is used as bullets, the economy cannot bear it. If a war breaks out, it will not be conducive to mass production. Later generations created the product of copper-plated steel.
The main reason is that steel replaces copper, and the cheap price is the main reason. One of the purposes of surface copper clad is to improve corrosion resistance, and on the other hand, it can make steel easier to process and form. In order to make the steel softer, easy to fit into the barrel, and reduce deformation processing power, special steels with very low carbon content are generally used, and they are annealed.
These theoretical knowledge were summarized after a lot of research and experiments. Zhong Yang did not participate in the whole process and just provided necessary funds and equipment assistance.
"Yongsheng, the future bullet shells and bullets are not made with pure copper. Use what you said to be made with copper and steel." Zhong Yang's words made Xu Yongsheng extremely excited. It was an emotion of being happy because of being trusted. Using steel to make bullets and bullet shells was originally an unimaginable thing in the minds of German researchers, and even the two sides had a fierce debate about this.
Seeing Rudolph's red face, Zhong Yang understood Xu Yongsheng's mood. No one had ever done the bullets and shells with steel, and no one thought of this problem, but he trusted him so much. The research results were recognized as the favorite thing for a scientific and technological worker.
"Don't be happy too early forever. I asked you to do it to believe your research results, but you must also come up with convincing results. Here I will tell me about this set of technical theoretical knowledge of copper-plated steel, so that I can understand it for a preliminary time before drawing a conclusion."
After getting Zhong Yang's approval, Xu Yongsheng talked endlessly about the principle and benefits of applying copper steel to Zhong Yang. The advantage is that it can save a lot of money after doing this, and a small amount of copper can produce a large number of bullets that can be fired. It is a cost-saving bullet specially designed for poor warlords. It can also find a bullet production technology for China to reduce copper consumption.
Zhong Yang is not a professional, so he doesn't know the technical keys very well, but it sounds very reasonable and feasible. "Immortality, whether it works, this requires experimentation, but it seems that you should be good at creating this technology. Once you complete the practical test, you will produce it in large quantities immediately."
"President, this is the specific production process we have developed, and it has been sorted into a piece of information." After Xu Yongsheng said this, he took out a strange bullet from the standard bullet box next to him. The bullet that Xu Yongsheng tried to produce through laboratory processing is a copper-plated steel-core bullet.
With an excited face, Xu Yongsheng carefully handed the bullet to Zhong Yang standing beside him. Zhong Yang also took the bullet with a serious face, and then carefully observed that the bullet was dark red, unlike pure copper. To demonstrate, Xu Yongsheng took the bullet from Zhong Yang's hand and wiped the bullet hard on the stone beside him, revealing the steel core inside.
Zhong Yang was surprised to see Xu Yongsheng's actions. He really had the bullet made of this kind of copper-steel technology. He originally thought it was just in the theoretical stage, but he had never thought it had been developed.
Then Zhong Yang stuffed the bullet into the chamber of the gun, and fired it out with a "bang", hitting the stone in the distance, and a fog of gray was raised. Now he couldn't believe that steel could also be made into bullets. Xu Yongsheng handed Zhong Yang the bullet shell that had just been withdrawn. It turned out that the bullet shell was also made of copper steel...
