Refining raw materials such as steel and lead and copper from it is simply not feasible. In peacetime, it can be considered.
But now is the time of war. Once encountering a large-scale raid by the Japs, the Eighth Route Army will have to consider moving its base area.
Therefore, the current situation of the Eighth Route Army is that even if it mines those mines, it is unable to keep them. In the end, it can only be said that it was given to the little devils at a cheap price.
Therefore, when it comes to bullets, it is impossible to capture them or produce them yourself. Now the little devils can learn to be smart.
Many times, when the Little Devils are fighting with the Eighth Route Army, they will retreat directly after discovering the situation.
When retreating, the little devils will focus on bringing all weapons and equipment, especially bullets.
The purpose is not to leave these trophies to the Eighth Route Army. There is no way, but the current combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army is still much worse than that of the little devils.
In most cases, it is difficult for the Eighth Route Army to wipe out all the Japs, and even if it can wipe out all the Japs, it will only take a long time to fight.
In the end, both sides will consume a lot of bullets, and the same is true for the Little Japs. Under such circumstances, even if the Eighth Route Army wipes out the Little Japs.
The number of bullets it seized was also very small, and it would be even more unfeasible to produce them through its own arsenal.
In the end, there was no other way but to pick up all the eggshells left on the battlefield and then pour some gunpowder into them.
It's just another bullet that can be fired. This kind of bullet is a reloading bullet, but this kind of bullet has a short range and poor accuracy.
But even if this is the case, there is nothing that can be done, it is better than nothing, and this situation has continued to this day.
When the chief saw Su Bei, a high-level talent who had returned from abroad, he felt hopeful.
I want Su Bei to break the current predicament of the Eighth Route Army. Otherwise, how could the leader be the first to return to Su Bei?
Just give him the position of director of the largest arsenal of the Eighth Route Army? We can only talk about the various difficulties currently faced by the Eighth Route Army.
What makes the chief eager to find someone to break the situation is precisely because of this, which makes the chief so fond of this top student who returned from studying abroad in Subei.
At this time, on the other side, the chief of staff came to the chief with a piece of intelligence.
"Chief, there is a new situation at the arsenal you asked us to pay attention to. Under the guidance of Su Bei, one of the machine tools has been modified."
"Oh? Is it done? How much has the efficiency been improved?"
This is the issue that the chief is concerned about. Before improving this machine tool, Su Bei said to follow the steps on the drawing.
By improving the existing machine tools, efficiency can be improved. This is something the chief is very concerned about.

"Reporting to the head, we don't know yet, because as soon as the machine tool was completed, Su Bei handed over the drawings of a new weapon to Wang Ming and others."
"It is said to be a rifle that is more useful than the Little Devil's 38-meter Gai. Its fire suppression effect is much stronger than that of the Little Devil's 38-meter Gai."
As soon as these words came out, the chief was immediately surprised, and he immediately looked at the chief of staff in front of him with a serious face.
"A new rifle? Are you sure?"
"Yes, Chief, this is what Wang Ming said. He has never seen this kind of rifle on the battlefield of China, whether it was the Little Japs, the Central Army or the Shanxi-Sui Army."
"I have never seen them use this rifle. Not only Wang Ming, but even Lao Liu and his gang have never seen this rifle."
After hearing this, the chief also nodded, and then said in a deep voice.
"Since Lao Wang and Lao Liu have said so, it should be a new type of rifle, the type of rifle they have seen."
"Even more than you and I have ever seen. So this rifle seems to have been thought up by Comrade Xiao Su in the past few days."
Having said this, the joy in the chief's heart could no longer be concealed, and a smile appeared directly on his face.
"Comrade Xiao Su has given us a big surprise. How many days have he been in office? He hasn't even been in office for a week."
"Not only did they improve the machine tools for us, but they also designed the technical drawings of a new rifle. It seems that we have indeed seen the right person."
"Then let's see whether the performance of this new rifle is, as Comrade Xiao Su said, better than the little devil's 38-inch cap."
"If this is actually what Comrade Xiao Su said, it would be a great achievement. Facts have proved that we did not misjudge the person."
The chief's words also aroused the approval of the chief of staff.
"Yes, judging from the current situation, this Su Bei is really capable, and the situation is the same as what we investigated."
"When he was abroad, his abilities were already very outstanding, and he later participated in the scientific research of several weapons and equipment in the Bear Country."
"I heard that in the scientific research of these weapons and equipment, Su Bei also used his unique insights to benefit the experts in the Bear Country a lot."
"Otherwise, the Mao Xiong Country would not say that it would cost a lot of money to keep Northern Jiangsu in the Mao Xiong Country."
Hearing this, a trace of satisfaction flashed in the chief's eyes, he nodded and spoke again.
"That's right, we can't let people like Comrade Su Bei refuse generous treatment abroad just to come back and serve the motherland. We can't let them down."
"Since Comrade Xiao Su is leading people to make new weapons, it's just right. Tell Wang Ming, if there is anything missing, just tell us directly."
"We will try our best to get it. I hope Comrade Xiao Su can give us a big surprise this time."
"Roger it! Chief."
In fact, as early as when Northern Jiangsu was preparing to return to China, the Eighth Route Army mobilized personnel abroad to investigate information about Northern Jiangsu.
From the intelligence obtained through the investigation, we learned that Subei has already made a name for itself abroad, especially in the area of weapons research and development.
They had a deep understanding, so when the Eighth Route Army heard the news that Su Bei was returning to China, they immediately held several meetings.
The contents are all centered around Northern Jiangsu, and after many discussions, they were finally determined.
Let Su Bei serve as the director of the Taihang Mountain Arsenal, which is the kind of treatment that only Su Bei can have.
But it is impossible for any other person to receive such treatment, to put it simply.
Su Bei was able to receive this treatment all because of his outstanding abilities, not because of his so-called status as an international student.
