Su Bei finally found this iron ore, which made Su Bei very excited. After searching for a week, he finally found this iron ore.
Now that the thing is found, the next step is to mine the iron ore inside, and then smelt and process the mined iron ore.
Then it can be turned into the raw material they need, which is the iron used in making weapons.
Simply suppressing his inner joy, Su Bei turned his head and spoke to Wang Ming.
"Old Wang, this is the iron mine in front of me. You arrange some workers to mine it. If you encounter something you don't understand, you can ask questions directly."
Having said this, Su Bei looked at the group of soldiers again.
"You have worked hard these days. Now that the iron ore has been found, you can go back and rest."
"Yes! Director Su."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't hide the joy on their faces. They had been in this place where birds didn't shit for a full week.
This week, I couldn't eat or sleep well, but now I'm fine and I can finally go back.
In this way, under the order of Su Bei, Wang Ming led a group of people to mine this iron ore, in order to ensure the efficiency of this mining.
A few days before he started mining iron ore, Su Bei took them here to mine, and during the mining process.
Su Bei also continued to explain relevant knowledge and precautions to them. With Su Bei's help, these workers soon began to mine the iron mine skillfully.
It is worth mentioning that among the technologies that Su Bei purchased from the system mall, in addition to basic mining, smelting and processing technologies.
It also includes various mining and ore smelting equipment, etc. It can be said that it is everything you need, just like what is called a one-stop service in later generations.
It was very thoughtful and comprehensive, and while the mines were being mined here, factories on the other side were also set up.
The only function of these factories is to process the mined ore accordingly, such as smelting and processing.
After all, the newly mined ore cannot be used directly to make weapons or the like. It must be smelted and processed first before it can be used to make weapons and ammunition.
Immediately during the process of mining iron ore, a group of workers on the other side found copper mines. So far, both iron ore and copper mines have been found.
When it comes to mining copper mines, Subei does the same thing. He personally guides these workers and tells them how to mine, and then during the mining process.
What needs to be paid attention to, and how to mine in order to maximize efficiency, etc., this is what Northern Jiangsu must do in the early stages.
After all, among the entire Eighth Route Army, only Subei knew the mining technology of mines and the smelting and processing technology of ore.
.............
Therefore, it is not only the mining of iron ore and copper that requires personal guidance from Su Bei, but also the corresponding smelting process.
The same is true for Subei. During this period of time, Subei was very busy. He was busy almost the whole day, not in the mine.
I am busy in the factory, but I will only be busy for this period of time, until the workers below are skilled in mining and smelting ore.
And after being able to easily deal with various incident situations, Subei can completely let these things go to the people below.
By then, Subei will no longer need to personally guide the mining, smelting and processing of mines like these days.
In this way, half a month passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, the mining of iron ore and copper mines was already on track.
At the same time, the efficiency of smelting ore is also constantly improving. At present, we have basically achieved self-sufficiency in raw materials for weapons.
At this time, their arsenal no longer has to worry about the shortage of raw materials in the manufacture of weapons and ammunition.
Especially this copper. If they hadn't snatched ten tons of copper from the Japs last time, their arsenal might not have been able to make bullets long ago.
It's not for anything else, just because there are not enough raw materials. Now it's better, you don't have to worry about this, and the mining and smelting efficiency of this mine are improving.
It is believed that as time goes by, the ore mined every day will reach astronomical figures.
After half a month of personal teaching by Su Bei, the workers below are now able to work independently, even if Su Bei is not around.
They were also able to carry out mining and smelting in an orderly manner. Seeing this scene, Su Bei was very pleased.
His efforts were not in vain, and now he could finally return to the arsenal and take a good rest.
As soon as Su Bei returned to his room, he picked up the phone and called the chief.
"Chief, the related mining and smelting work of copper and iron ores are on the right track, and we have basically achieved self-sufficiency in raw materials for weapons and ammunition in the arsenal."
"And with the batches of advanced machine tools and materials you gave me later in Subei, the production of M1 Garand rifles and DP light machine guns in our arsenal has been greatly improved."
"The current production of DP light machine guns is thirty-five per day, and its bullet production is eleven thousand rounds per day. As for the production of M1 Garand rifles."
"It is 850 bullets per day, and the bullets are 13,000 rounds per day. This is all thanks to the batch of machine tools and materials sent by you, chief."
That's right, in the past half month, the chief has ordered several batches of machine tools to be delivered, including ordinary machine tools and more advanced machine tools.
Ordinary machine tools are specially used to manufacture M1 Garand rifles. After the arrival of these machine tools, the production of M1 Garands increased by 150 units.
The daily output has increased from the previous 700 to the current 850, and then there are bullets, from 10,000 rounds per day.
It has increased to the current 13,000 per day. In one month, the output of original bullets alone can produce 390,000 rounds.
Then the production of DP light machine guns has also increased a lot. Half a month ago, the daily production of DP light machine guns was only twenty.
It has now reached thirty-five. Judging from this, the arsenal's one-day output of DP light machine guns can almost arm two ordinary regiments of the Eighth Route Army.
At the same time, its bullet output has also increased from the original 8,000 rounds per day to the current 11,000 rounds per day, in one month.
