300 pieces a month, which is a fairly low output.
However, all the commanders and fighters did not speak, just waiting quietly.
It's better not to express your opinion yet, your face hurts.
"The efficiency of the hand-operated rifling machine is too slow. For more than half a month, I have been building a cold forging machine with my comrades in the machine tool team."
"Cold forging machine? Hahaha, I'm so stupid, I should have thought of it earlier..."
Zhao Sihan immediately froze on the spot.
Now he just feels like a clown.
On the verge of collapse, he muttered to himself:
"It turns out you have already considered it. It turns out you know everything and can do everything..."
Commanders, look at me and I look at you. I don’t understand what the two top students here are doing.
Seeing this, Zhu Han explained:
"The original rifling machine fixed the steel pipe, and then used a carving knife to rotate in circles to carve out the negative lines."
"The cold forging machine is different. It uses a steel rod engraved with opposite rifling to extend into the middle of the steel pipe."
"Then three arc-shaped forging hammers are used to hammer the steel pipe at high speed at the same time."
"Just like kneading dough on chopsticks, thick steel pipes are forged into thin steel pipes."
"The steel rod in the middle is like an anvil. The protruding engraved lines forge the negative wires in the barrel, and the non-protruding lines are the positive wires."
"In this way, it is sent in and hammered at the same time. During the process, water must be sprayed continuously to prevent overheating, so it is called a cold forging machine."
"I just led everyone to assemble the first cold forging machine. After all, this thing has thousands of parts, and there is no chance of making a single mistake, so I came late."
"Hahaha, Comrade Xiao Zhu, don't make it so difficult for yourself. No matter how important it is, it's not as important as your body."
Political Commissar Deng patted Zhu Han on the shoulder, intending to persuade him.
"Haha, when he tells you how efficient this thing is, you'll know why he works so hard."
But Zhao Sizhe said something suddenly, and then leaned against the door frame and continued to be decadent.
"Actually...it's not that high."
Zhu Han looked at the people with burning eyes and felt like he was being roasted on a fire.
The output of that newly assembled, extremely rough cold forging machine seems to be really poor.
"I led everyone to pick up this cold forging machine..."
"Uh-huh……"
"It uses steam power. The characteristic of this kind of power is that it is very difficult to stop and even more difficult to start..."
"Uh huh huh..."
"The power is not high and the energy is very low, so it takes a long time to work on one place..."
"okokokok……"
Looking at the commander with big watery eyes, he looked like a child looking forward to a reward from the teacher.
Zhu Han knew that the ugly daughter-in-law would have to meet her parents-in-law sooner or later, so she simply told the truth:
"Now it takes about 3 minutes to make a barrel!"
"With six shifts a day and 24-hour production, we only produce about 14,000 pieces a month."
"It's only ten thousand roots, so..."
"I know this efficiency is too low. Advanced electric cold forging machines can do one stroke in tens of seconds, but this is the condition of our Eighth Route Army..."
Everyone just felt that their chests hurt.
Are you too ignorant?
No, I have to find out who taught Zhu Han Chinese when I get back.
You must use your fist as big as a sandbag to ask, who asked him to teach him this way?
Don't you know it's very harmful?
But Zhu Han didn't seem to have that awareness and continued:
"Recently, the precision casting production line has finally been put into production, and everything from bolts to triggers can finally be processed in batches."
"Although there is a shortage of manpower and the output is not high, if we expand two more production lines, it will still be no problem to digest the more than 400 barrels produced by the cold forging machine every day."
Brigadier Chen gave Zhu Han a cigarette with trembling hands.
"Let me confirm...the 400 per day you mentioned, is it the 400 that I have known since I was a child?"
As the person most familiar with Zhu's algorithm, he was already the only person present who could still move.
The brains of other people are still in a down state.
Zhu Han pushed the cigarette away directly. He was joking. Smoking in the ammunition warehouse would kill him?
"To be specific, it's 480, but there are unavoidable circumstances, so let's calculate it as 450."
"So... what do you get when you multiply it by 30?"
Everyone hates it, hates why the nine-nine multiplication table only reaches nine times nine at most.
It's so troublesome that they don't even understand 450 times 30 now.
"It's what you think, 13,500 bottles a month, five or six and a half."
"wrong!!"
Zhao Sizhe seemed to have thought of something again and shouted hysterically:
"You have this ability a long time ago! Why didn't you help the Eighth Route Army make bombs earlier! Why did you just watch the soldiers die!"
"Zhao Sizhe, don't go too far!"
As a 16-year-old child, Li Dayou has long disliked him.
At this moment, he finally couldn't help it, and he shouted loudly regardless of the fact that there were so many senior commanders and fighters standing nearby.
But Zhu Han stopped Li Dayou:
"Because I'm timid."
"I'm afraid that our industrial flames will be doused by a basin of water as soon as they light up."
As soon as this was mentioned, everyone present immediately became serious and continued to listen.
"The scale of the Huangyandong Arsenal is not even half of what we are now, but it has long been regarded as a thorn in the devil's side."
"If I build mines and steel mills and arsenals at the same time, everything will go according to plan."
"When the time comes, we will have to run exhausted in the face of countless probing and harassment attempts by the Japanese. How many days can we have peace of mind and give birth?"
"Production capacity cannot make ends meet and development is struggling. When will we be able to produce enough bullets to defend our homeland?"
Regardless of everyone's mixed feelings, Zhu Han continued to explain.
The tone was full of unwillingness, grievance and catharsis after success.
"That's why I asked Lao Chen for so many things at once!"
“That’s why I was like crazy trying to build this all in four months!”
"As the saying goes, what I want to do is to completely end our current situation of being short of guns and ammunition!"
"I'm betting! I'm betting that the things in my head can be produced, and that the plan I've been planning for three years can succeed!"
"As you said, between a new bullet that has never been seen before, and the medium-sized and Mauser bullets that have the largest number of equipment in the entire army, which one would a normal person choose?"
"Commander! If you hadn't seen the performance of this gun and the output of this bullet with your own eyes today, would you have believed that all this was done by our Eighth Route Army in such a short period of time?"
Mr. Liu shook his head. Not to mention that he had never seen it before, even he who was witnessing it with his own eyes still found it unbelievable.
"I believe it!" Zhu Han roared. He was too tired and depressed during this period.
"But I hid it from all of you!"
"We can't even think of it! The Japanese can't even think of it!"
"When they react, they will face the 129th Division, which is well-equipped and has sufficient ammunition!"
"We also need to build submachine guns, machine guns, mines, and cannons!"
"Time is on our side! Half a year! As long as there is another half year! We can tell the Japanese that the offensive and defensive positions have changed!"
"good!!!"
"Damn it! It's only half a year. Even if I risk my life, I will give you at least one year!"
"If nothing else, as long as we maintain the current output, our 385th Brigade can last forever!"
Infected by Zhu Han, the commanders and soldiers were all excited.
What people cannot think about is what people cannot do.
What is talent?
That’s it!
What is a pillar?
That’s it!
What is realm?
this! At once! yes! Got it!
"I only have one last question left."
A weak questioning voice came.
Zhao Sizhe leaned against the door and looked pale, as if he had lost all his strength.
From a young age, he has always been the best and brightest star among his peers.
He has always believed that no one of his age can surpass him.
But what happened today caused an earth-shaking change in his perception.
"We are already capable of producing Boxer-type primers. Why do we still use the old Berdan-type primers for rifle ammunition? Boxer-type primers are obviously more convenient for reloading."
Zhu Han replied with a smile:
"Do the base areas of the Eighth Route Army have the ability to reload rifle ammunition?"
Zhao Sizhe shook his head.
"Then after the shooting, after the bullet case withstands the high pressure, then falls on the ground, hits the stone, or even gets stepped on a few times, will the paint surface of the bullet case be damaged?"
"If the paint surface is damaged but is not repainted, the characteristics of steel will make it very easy to corrode and rust."
"The recovered bullet casings are thrown directly into the steel-making furnace and have almost no impact on the steel-making plant. However, if you want to reinstall it, you have to assign several people to inspect, shovel paint, and touch up the paint."
"It's better to use the Berdan-type primer, which is easier to produce. The saved workers can be allocated to the bullet production line, which can produce hundreds of bullets every day."
Listening to Zhu Han's earnest explanation, Zhao Sizhe could no longer stand.
Kneel on the ground, cover your face and cry bitterly:
"Director, I'm convinced. I apologize to you for what I did before."
But Zhu Han helped him up and said:
"Vicious infighting should go to hell. I welcome healthy competition at any time."
"Okay!" The relieved Zhao Sizhe hugged Zhu Han and cried bitterly.
"good!"
Everyone present applauded in unison, feeling sincerely happy for them.
