Chapter 99 Automatic Firearms Project
Bai Yi really wanted such a tacit understanding, but when the head of the General Logistics Department investigated the Baiyun Factory, Bai Yi was a little obsessed with the authorities and did not realize the deep meaning of the head of the General Logistics Department. It was not until he began to modify the "building block" machine tools that Bai Yi slowly
Slowly he realized that maybe the head of the General Logistics Department had the same idea as him.
You need to know that the Baiyun Factory did not have the equipment and materials he needed when refitting the machine tools. Only a few heads of the Northeast Bureau had the right to allocate some of the shortages. But during the period of refitting the "building block" machine tools, whatever he needed
No matter how scarce the required raw materials are, the head of the General Logistics Department can be said to have the green light to get them.
If it were just to expand production capacity, there would never be such a big deal. However, the head of the General Logistics Department continued to invest without hesitation. The purpose is naturally self-evident. Expanding production capacity is just an introduction, to test technical capabilities and lay a solid foundation for relevant work.
The foundation is the truth. When he realized this, Bai Yi was extremely excited.
I originally thought that my improved m1 carbine did not have the effect of attracting others, but I did not expect that it was not that his bait was not good enough, but that the cunning "fish" felt that the time had not come yet and had to wait until Bai Yi found a good fish tank.
Put it in the water tank, plug in the oxygen tube, and the "fish" at the bottom of the water slowly bite up...
Although Bai Yi has some complicated emotions towards the head of the General Logistics Department, he also understands the difficulties of the head of the General Logistics Department. At this time, China lacks everything except people.
, you must be very cautious when doing something, otherwise once you fail, the loss will be irreparable.
In fact, the same is true for Bai Yi. He wants to throw away the original machine tools of Baiyun Factory and build a batch of "building block" machine tools. He is also afraid of possible losses. After all, the current Baiyun Factory's plate is so big, even if
Breaking down a machine tool is a huge loss.
Therefore, Bai Yi simply does not dare to do it. Even if he is a time traveler, he cannot guarantee that he will not make mistakes during the development process. If nothing else, the improved m1 carbine is a typical example. Bai Yi
With the golden thigh of my own time traveler, I completed the modification of the M1 carbine in the shortest possible time.
The speed has increased and the results have come out, but the results are very unsatisfactory. Fortunately, Bai Yi still has self-awareness and only displays this gun as a test sample. If it is directly used as a finalized product, the consequences will be even more disastrous, so he
He must be based on this era, supplemented by his experience that transcends this era, in order to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
All in all, as I said before, even if Bai Yi is a time traveler, he is just an ordinary person, not a superman with exposed red underwear!
Therefore, Bai Yi needs a foundation, talents, and more importantly, the support of capable people, because at the moment when all materials are in short supply, without the strong support of the leaders, even if Bai Yi has the ability to penetrate the sky and the earth, he is still a clever woman who cannot make a meal without rice.
Because of this, he wanted to offer advice, and because of this, he maintained a tacit understanding with the head of the General Logistics Department...
"I don't quite agree with Comrade Yaoyang's view. I think we might as well be bolder. Since we are making our own fully automatic rifle, let's loosen up some hands and make a major modification to the M1 carbine. Anyway, it is based on this.
, why not do it in one step?”
After Bai Yi finished talking about some basic design requirements and indicators, everyone present started discussing. Unknowingly, two groups formed and started arguing, which brought Bai Yi, who was in meditation, back to reality.
At this moment, Wang Dehua, the technician who was previously responsible for the manufacturing of the new 6.5mm ammunition, was blushing and saying: "What's more, we have Section Chief Bai when it comes to technology and talent. Everyone here will have no problem, plus the newly built machine tools in Workshop No. 5.
, and the head of the General Logistics Department supports us in importing steel from the United States. With such good conditions here, I feel that if we want to develop a firearm with our own Chinese characteristics!"
Before Wang Dehua finished speaking, other people present nodded involuntarily. Wang Dehua was right. In order to smoothly promote the fully automatic rifle project, Baiyun Factory, Northeast Bureau Ordnance Department and even the head of the General Logistics Department gave them tasks.
Great support from the group.
Not to mention the newly built "building block" machine tools in Workshop No. 5. Once the production tasks were slightly reduced, they were assigned to the fully automatic firearms project group by the Military Control Commission for the processing and manufacturing of fully automatic rifles; and the head of the General Logistics Department
It was even more generous, transporting a batch of steel directly from the newly liberated Pingjin area to Baiyun Factory for the development of fully automatic firearms.
It is said that this batch of steel was special-grade steel imported by the Nationalist Government from the United States, with a total volume of only 500 tons, and was intended to be used for the Nationalist Government's military production. However, before the Nationalist Government could produce the much-needed munitions, it was overwhelmed by our army.
The situation was shattered, and these steel materials naturally became the spoils of war for our army.
After receiving the news, the head of the General Logistics Department immediately applied to the North China Bureau and the Central Committee for this batch of steel. The North China Bureau and the Central Committee were extremely supportive of this. When other departments were in extremely short supply of steel, they specially approved 200 tons of special steel for the Baiyun Plant.
Fully automatic firearms research group.
The arrival of this batch of special-grade steel was a timely blessing for Bai Yi and others who were in urgent need of raw materials. You must know that at that time, they were worried about not being able to find raw materials to process suitable gun barrels. As a last resort, they were ready to smelt and scrap them.
firearms to refine the required steel, and these two hundred tons of special steel not only temporarily eliminated their difficulties, but also greatly improved the development progress.
It was with such strong support that Wang Dehua proudly said that he would abandon the original m1 carbine prototype and start from scratch to create a new fully automatic rifle with pure Chinese origin. Wang Dehua was not the only one who had such an idea.
Others, even the leaders of the Military Control Commission in the factory, all have this idea more or less.
In their opinion, since they have the foundation and experience in the development of the improved m1 carbine, they can completely develop a Chinese-made automatic rifle. After all, its significance will be immeasurable to this country that is about to be reborn, so they tend to
There are many people who are attracted by this idea.
It's just that the market for this idea is huge, but it doesn't mean that it can cover everyone. For example, Chen Yaoyang, who is sitting next to Bai Yi, has been opposed to this almost radical approach from the beginning because he has seen from it.
It is not a success, but a possible failure, so it is not yet
When Wang Dehua sat back to his original position, he shook his head: "No, absolutely not. If this is the case, not only may it slow down the progress, but more importantly, it will suffer an irreparable failure, because we are in the field of firearms.
Chapter completed!
