Xu Gaoxiang also felt a lot of emotion in his heart. After all, this is a quilt factory that he founded by himself. If you don't push yourself, you really don't know what level you can achieve!
"With the quality of our quilt factory's products, we can be completely self-sufficient. Let's see how the market responds when I put the first batch of products on the market!"
"If the response is good, I will find a few experienced tailors from outside to design it for us, and we can continue to expand the production scale!"
Listening to Xu Gaoxiang's future plans, Li Yunlong grinned almost to his ears, "That's a great relationship! From now on, Old Li, I won't have to worry about having nothing to wear anymore, ah, hahahahaha!"
After visiting the quilt factory, Li Yunlong felt windy when he walked, and he led Xu Gaoxiang to the logistics warehouse again.
Here, with the efforts of Tang Yun, He Keyun and others, the Ordnance Institute has been officially listed.
Now, in addition to repairing the gun, the most important thing is that He Keyun has initially configured the propellant and primer required for the Garand rifle bullets.
Before Brother Xu brought in those lathe machines, he decided to try reloading ammunition manually.
Speaking of the propellant and primer, Li Yunlong couldn't help but sigh that God had helped him.
That day, Li Yunlong learned from the old village chief that in a ravine not far from Baiwan Valley, villagers had picked up stones that were suspected of being lead ore.
After receiving the news, Li Yunlong immediately arranged for someone to take He Keyun to check. At one end of the ravine, a lot of lead ore was indeed picked up near a fault.
This convinced He Keyun that there should be a small surface lead mine there!
At that time, He Keyun happily informed Li Yunlong that as long as he had lead, he could use the lead chamber method to use sulfur to make sulfuric acid.
And as long as you have sulfuric acid, the rest will be much easier.
With He Keyun's explanation, Li Yunlong immediately re-divided a yard for them and used an earthen boiler to smelt the first furnace of lead.
Then with the efforts of everyone, the lead chamber used to make sulfuric acid was quickly built.
On the same day, while Li Yunlong and several company commanders were waiting anxiously, the first bottle of qualified sulfuric acid was produced.
After a bottle of sulfuric acid was produced, He Keyun quickly produced the nitrocellulose used as a propellant, and then the mercury fulminate used as a primer.
No, in addition to visiting the quilt factory today, I also received news that the first batch of reloaded bullets at the Ordnance Institute was completed. Li Yunlong immediately pulled Xu Gaoxiang over to inspect.
When the two came to the ordnance station, they happened to see He Keyun asking someone to load eight rounds of reloading bullets into steel magazines.
Li Yunlong walked quickly to He Keyun, picked up a reloaded bullet and looked at it carefully against the sun.
The bullets that have been repolished are basically not much different from the original bullets in appearance.
Li Yunlong looked at He Keyun with joy, "Hahaha, great! I will remember your contribution, Xiao He did a great job!"
He Keyun pushed up his glasses reservedly, "Thank you battalion commander for the compliment, but we still have to see the specific effect!"
Li Yunlong turned around and called to the monk, "Monk, try loading a magazine with bullets!"
Wei Dayong took the rifle, and several people came to the open area outside. Several targets had been prepared in the distance.
"Pah, pah, pah..." Wei Dayong emptied the eight-round magazine very smoothly without any jamming.
Through the telescope, there is no problem with the power of this reloading bullet.
Wei Dayong put away his gun and reported, "Batalion Commander, I think this bullet is okay. Except for the accuracy and range being slightly reduced, everything else is fine!"
Li Yunlong was extremely happy now, "Hahaha, if I have copper again, I won't have to worry about the consumption of ammunition in the future!"
As long as you can produce bullets and grenades yourself, you can save a lot of money and buy more important weapons and equipment from Brother Xu.
Xu Gaoxiang looked at this scene without feeling disappointed. After all, development is inevitable, and a strong army cannot always rely on external support.
He supports Li Yunlong in developing his own military industry. After all, he is not sure. If one day the platform suddenly sends him back to his original world, then Li Yunlong will be back before liberation. Only self-improvement is the right thing!
However, Xu Gaoxiang applauded, "Old Li, you are so lucky to meet a talent like Mr. He!"
Li Yunlong leaned back with laughter, "Hey, hey, hey, who says it's not?! Otherwise, could I meet you, brother?"
"I, Lao Li, must have accumulated eight lifetimes of luck. God just wants us, Li Yunlong, to meet the big guy and drive out all his motherfuckers!"
Tang Yun, who was still wearing an apron, took out his small notebook and said, "Battalion Commander, after these days of hard work, our ordnance depot has now begun official operation. As of today, we have repaired and maintained a total of fifteen rifles and eight rifles. Submachine gun!"
"A total of 15 kilograms of sulfuric acid were produced. After further processing, 8 kilograms of nitrocellulose and 1.5 kilograms of mercury fulminate were produced!"
"A total of 300 rounds of ammunition were reloaded today and 50 grenades were made!"
Li Yunlong is already very satisfied. There is no large-scale equipment in the ordnance depot now, and there are few personnel. Everything is made purely by hand, such as Tang Yun and He Keyun. It is already amazing to have such an output!
When Brother Xu gets those lathes and other large equipment later, Li Yunlong can't even imagine the output!
Li Yunlong looked at Xu Gaoxiang, "Brother Xu, you have to hurry up, I, Old Li, will wait for your rice to be cooked!"
Xu Gaoxiang's eyes widened, "Old Li, I have to talk to you about this. Who dragged me to build this quilt factory? This is great, but now you think I'm too slow?!"
Li Yunlong is so thick-skinned, he put up wrinkles on his face, "Hey, brother Xu, isn't our old Li a little impatient!"
"Brother Xu, you are beyond words, this is it!"
Li Yunlong raised his thumb in front of Xu Gaoxiang, "Hey, brother, you are like a bean growing on the bluestone board. You are very capable! You are our noble person!"
Xu Gaoxiang smiled helplessly, "Oh, Lao Li, I feel like I owed you my last life!"
"Well, it just so happens that the quilt factory can basically run by itself. I will go back later and get those machines for you earlier!"
Li Yunlong smiled and said, "By the way, Brother Xu, in addition to those machines and equipment, you can bring us more mortar shells, as well as Qiwu Mountain Cannon shells and bazooka rockets. In two days, I will prepare Go find trouble in those little devil strongholds to the east!"
"Expanding our base will also make it easier for your transportation team, Brother Xu, to transport supplies!"
Xu Gaoxiang nodded, "No problem!"
Before leaving, Li Yunlong also handed over a captain's knife and two lieutenant's knives seized this time to Xu Gaoxiang.
Not long after Li Yunlong bid farewell to Xu Gaoxiang, Zhao Gang and others arrived here on horseback after a long journey outside the Baiwanyu Mountain Pass.
