Su Bei's ability alone cannot research this in a short period of time, and it is impossible to produce the M1 Garand technical drawings.
It was done so easily, so it had to be cheated, that is, to rely on the system, to be precise, the system mall.
As long as the system store is unlocked, let alone machine guns and artillery, there will be technical drawings of more advanced tanks and fighter jets.
Su Bei can easily take it out. On the other hand, if the system mall is not unlocked, everything will be empty talk.
Therefore, the top priority is to unlock the system mall. Only in this way can Su Bei be able to continuously come up with various weapon blueprints.
Su Bei believes that as soon as the system mall is unlocked, the Eighth Route Army will usher in his own stage of development.
Let the Eighth Route Army and even the entire country of China usher in his own industrial revolution, and all the credit for this will be attributed to him.
But that is all a matter later. At this stage, we still need to increase the production of M1 Garand rifles. The only thing missing now is machine tools.
"Don't worry, chief. As long as we have advanced machine tools, our Eighth Route Army can make machine guns and artillery on our own."
"It's just that the structure of these two weapons is more complex than the rifle, so it may take a little longer."
This is the escape route Su Bei left for himself, because he doesn't know when the system mall will be unlocked.
Therefore, we did not dare to guarantee it, but gave a more general time.
The chief had no doubts about this.
"Understood. Although I don't know much about this technology, I know that machine guns and artillery are not so easy to develop."
At this time, the chief thought of something again, and immediately asked again.
"By the way, Xiao Su, what is the bullet output of this M1 Garand rifle?"
Hearing this, Su Bei thought briefly and then spoke.
"Reporting to the chief, the current bullet output is one hundred rounds per day. Like the M1 Garand rifle, the bullet output is directly related to the equipment."
"As long as there are more equipment for making bullets, the output can be doubled several times, but it's just about making bullets."
"There is a shortage of raw materials, especially metals like copper and lead. I found that there are not many in the arsenal."
The chief had already noticed this problem long ago, and raw materials were scarce.
In the end, there was no other way but to use reloading bullets, that is, to pick up those bullet casings and then load them with gunpowder or something.
It will become a new bullet again, but such a reloaded bullet is completely inferior to the previous bullets in terms of accuracy, range and power.
It can be said that this is the chief's biggest headache. With the expansion of the Eighth Route Army, the daily consumption of bullets has continued to increase accordingly.
However, the number of bullets produced in the Eighth Route Army's arsenal was far less than the daily consumption.
.............
Thinking of this, the chief frowned slightly, then sighed.
"As for this equipment issue, I can find a way to get it, but this raw material is not so easy to get."
Su Bei had already expected this answer.
"Understood, so I made a technical drawing about reloading bullets a few days ago, which is only needed in subsequent battles."
"The soldiers below picked up the bullet casings of the M1 Garand rifle. After some processing, they can get another bullet."
"And this kind of reloaded bullet has been greatly improved in accuracy, power and range. It is almost not much different from the original bullet."
As soon as these words came out, the chief's expression changed instantly, and his frown immediately relaxed, and he said with a serious face.
"Comrade Xiao Su, are you serious about this?"
Su Bei nodded heavily.
"Yes, sir, this is something I got some inspiration from when I was studying the M1 Garand rifle, and based on the current predicament of our Eighth Route Army."
"We have produced a technical drawing specifically for the production of reloaded bullets. In this way, we can save a lot of raw materials."
No need to think about it, this is also given to Su Bei by the system, it can be said to be a family bucket set meal.
I have to say that this system is really thoughtful, not just giving Su Bei a technical drawing of the M1 Garand rifle.
At the same time, technical drawings of its bullets were also presented. Later, taking into account the plight of the Eighth Route Army, two additional drawings of equipment for production were given.
It was the machine tool manufacturing drawings and the equipment drawings for bullet production that now even gave the drawings for reloading bullets to Subei.
It can be said that as long as the above steps for reloading bullets are followed, the performance of the subsequently produced reloaded bullets will be almost the same as that of the original bullets.
In this way, it can be said that it has greatly improved the current dilemma of the Eighth Route Army's lack of raw materials in making bullets.
Otherwise, it would not have caused such a big reaction from the chief when he saw Su Bei's guarantee.
He suddenly became excited, and the chief patted Su Bei on the shoulder and said.
"Comrade Xiao Su, you are really my lucky general. I didn't expect you to solve all this problem. You must know all the problems of reloading bullets."
"A series of shortcomings, including insufficient accuracy, insufficient power, and short range, have always been a worry for our Eighth Route Army."
"I believe that under your leadership, Comrade Xiao Su, the arsenal will definitely take on a completely new look. That being the case."
"Then I have to find a way to solve the problems of machine tools and bullet equipment as soon as possible, so that the M1 Garand rifle can be mass-produced as soon as possible."
At this moment, Su Bei took out a piece of paper with various materials written on it.
"Chief, this is about materials for making machine tools and equipment. If you can't get machine tools and bullet equipment directly."
"Then we can take the next step and get the materials above. I can use these materials to make our own machine tools and bullet equipment."
"If possible, I hope the chief can use both hands to get a batch of machine tools and equipment, and on the other hand, get more paper materials."
After taking the piece of paper from Su Bei's hand, the chief looked at it briefly and then gave an answer.
"No problem. I'll find a way to get machine tools, equipment and materials when I get back."
