The technician who accompanied Minister Liu stuttered a little. Under Minister Liu's questioning, he had to say the reason with awkward expression. It was not that he didn't want to build it, but even Consultant Li couldn't figure out how to build it. Last time, he finally transferred a mortar shell from the cannon company, but almost even exploded himself. The cannon company complained about wasting precious shells for a while, and he never dared to do it later.

To be honest, Li Wei was able to rush two guns, the entire grenade and mine were OK. For weapons like cannons that require more heavy industry, there are fewer such information. Some people who heard of gun fans, but few cannon fans. No matter how rich they are, they cannot hide a large cannon at home. The arsenal wanted Li Wei to design a cannon. At best, Li Wei could produce a local cannon that was no less than that of the Ming Dynasty. At most, it was very good to use the special hollow flowering bullet to increase lethality. However, the amount of fire yao is really good.

Minister Liu listened to the technician's explanation and felt a general plan in his mind about how Huangyadong First Arsenal could overcome the current bottleneck.

After several days of injury, Li Wei became energetic again, and was in trouble with the technicians in the arsenal. The doctor was surprised by his recovery ability and could only be described as monsters. However, in the end, Li Wei provided energy for recovery in a good modern nutritional environment.

In order to effectively utilize the insufficient resources in hand, Minister Liu specially formulated a work process with several arsenal managers, including Li Wei.

The Taihang Mountains are rich in minerals and there are many copper and iron ore. Although the arsenal has small steelmaking equipment and high-temperature alloy furnaces, due to the lack of large-scale smelting industrial equipment, the self-producing of steel and other materials used in the military industry is still in short supply. Therefore, many of the metals in the arsenal are directly derived from the Japanese devils' train tracks, telephone lines, bomb skins, damaged weapons, and iron products such as furnaces and knives and broken iron pots in the countryside. These metal raw materials are uniformly divided into smelting by blacksmiths and copper smith technicians who mainly refine the soil.

As a butt stock, the wood with grenade handles is not scarce in the mountains. More than a dozen carpenters with good skills are competent. The mahogany furniture of the landlord and old Cai’s house will be used as raw materials. The people do not care whether you are expensive or not, as long as they can be used, so some soldiers’ butt stocks are still luxurious mahogany materials. In the battle, users do not have any awareness of pity for valuable items, and they still smash them hard at the enemy.

However, the large amount of non-renewable fire yao is consumed. In addition to the collected natural minerals, Minister Liu and several technicians used local methods. In addition to using coke that can be produced and natural that can be found, and using hemp rod ash and willow rod ash to synthesize sulfur, they used building materials for digging old houses to extract fire yao. This was once called "poaching corners" by Li Wei.

In order to use limited resources in a unified manner, it is still not realistic to achieve equipment standardization through purchases. Developing standard weapons belonging to the Eighth Route Army has become a current need. Minister Liu pulled Li Wei and a dozen old technicians to form an expert research and development team again to develop standard rifles. With the last experience in producing modern guns from SG-552, 97, MAC-10 and Desert Eagle, they are familiar with the structure of guns and are much more familiar with the structure of guns.

In light of the current needs of the Anti-Japanese War, after decomposing the Japanese Type 38 rifle, formally and Czech, they quickly tried to produce a prototype gun of a baton. Minister Liu was inspired by Li Wei's fighting army stabbing. In addition, he had just returned from the Soviet Union and was also equipped with a baton design. After improving Li Wei's baton, he matched this prototype gun with a short knife-shaped and sword-shaped baton as a candidate. Although it was a newly designed gun, it still failed to be completely finalized. Because of the influence of Li Wei's modern gun, this prototype gun of this baton has a ergonomic design with a relatively short body. Because of the high-quality steel, it is also lighter in weight, and the caliber is divided into 5.6 mm, 6.5 mm and 7.92 mm.

Although the development speed is relatively fast, the prototype gun has been transformed from the drawings to the finished product with the efforts and cooperation of many masters. Because of the uniform caliber, in order to facilitate production and maintenance, there are still many places that need to be modified. This prototype gun has not been finalized in the end. The technicians in the arsenal have been quarreling about how to set this gun. They often have quarrels and make a furious face, because they have never done gun designs for large-scale equipment troops before, and no one dares to take it lightly. If something goes wrong, no one can afford the responsibility.

Li Wei and Minister Liu did not expect that it was because they spent a lot of energy, which could even be considered cheating. After the gun was formally established, it was the famous "Eighth One" rifle in China's anti-Japanese history. The highest-killing military bayonet and fast and effective pop-up design. The short gun body and weight are the most convenient for attacking in the last battle.

Just when everyone was having a headache about shaping the prototype gun, a technician found Li Wei and said that Minister Liu was looking for him, and he and Director Li were in the office.

Li Wei approached the office, and Minister Liu and Director Li were sitting at a large table waiting for a long time.

"Weizi, I've just been here. I've been waiting for you for a long time. Sit!" Minister Liu took the initiative to stand up and get a chair for Li Wei.

He is a dignified minister, so why are you so embarrassed? The flattered Li Wei quickly pulled himself into a chair and sat down.

"Is there anything wrong with Minister Liu looking for me?" Li Wei could see that the atmosphere today was different. Director Li and Minister Liu seemed very polite to him. Could it be that he was conscientious today that he had to pay red envelopes for salary?! But he has not seen a penny paying it so far. Because the economy of the Anti-Japanese War was tight, the funds were used for the Anti-Japanese War, and the salary was generally not cashed. Unless there was a special reason, you could write an application for cash, and the money was saved by your superiors. Fortunately, the food and drink were all rationed, and there was no place to spend money. This place had no place to buy snacks. The occasionally pack of peanuts and melon seeds brought back would almost trigger an arms tour competition. No wonder everyone called "water kiln" here (there was only water in the cave left).

"Now the superior has a very important task for you. I hope you can do your best to complete it." Minister Liu poured a cup of herbal tea for Li Wei as he said.

"Oh!~" Li Wei's thoughts were shattered. He had no salary and had to work overtime!~ The arsenal was still signing a labor contract with him.

"Little Lizi, this is a toll-run. It may be a bit dangerous, but you have to do it for me, don't lose face as an arsenal!" Director Li was still the elders who taught the junior a lesson, and said with a gun.
Chapter completed!
