"Da da da~~"

Just as Wang Tiancheng and Zhan Hongtao were rushing towards Baiyun Factory, there was loud gunfire on the shooting range of the factory. Bai Yi had a dark circle under his eyes and was much thinner than the day before, but he was still full of energy and held his hands tightly.

Sometimes he shoots standing upright, sometimes he shoots half-crouched, sometimes he lies on the cold ground and vents, and sometimes he sweeps the gun wildly.

All in all, Bai Yi used all the shooting styles he could think of, until the barrel of the gun became a little hot, Bai Yi stopped, then strode to Chen Yaoyang's side, lifted the gun and looked around

, shook his head helplessly: "The quality of the barrel is still not up to standard, and the gas guide device may need to be improved!"

"The 38 Daqi is a bolt-action rifle. It has a low rate of fire and the barrel naturally does not need to be so strong. But our improved M1 carbine is different. It is truly fully automatic. The high temperature and high pressure generated by the bullet firing continues to ignite

Under the impact, the barrel of the 38-cap gun cannot withstand the impact, but overall, we have done a very good job!"

While listening to Chen Yaoyang's words, Bai Yi unscrewed the kettle he brought with him and took a big sip. After Chen Yaoyang finished speaking, Bai Yi sighed: "It's good, but it's too troublesome. It's all done by hand."

We are just lucky to have a skilled craftsman like Master Lei in the Baiyun factory, otherwise, even if we had the intention, we would not be able to make it!"

The name of Master Lei in Bai Yi's mouth is Lei Quan, an old fitter from Baiyun Factory. Starting from being an apprentice during the warlord period, Master Lei has perfected his fitter skills step by step, because he does not need measuring tools.

He can accurately judge the machining accuracy of parts by just touching the parts with his right hand, so the workers gave him the nickname "Thunder Right Hand".

Not only that, Master Lei also has great national integrity. During the Japanese occupation, he suffered crazy revenge because he refused to cooperate with the Japanese. Two of his three children were killed by the Japanese army. His right hand, which he was proud of, also made the Japanese spies look for opportunities.

It was crippled and completely destroyed. Therefore, after the liberation of Northeast China, the name of "Thunder's Right Hand" was no longer worthy of its name.

Seeing that he was a useless man, the Nationalist Government no longer reused him. However, what is little known is that when Lei Quan was learning the craftsmanship, he not only practiced with his right hand, but also with his left hand. After several years, his skills were not much worse than those of his right hand.

, it’s just not commonly used so that others don’t know it.

Lei Quan, who had experienced many hardships and had already seen through the world, had already made plans to collect mountains and retire for his retirement. However, he did not expect that the People's Liberation Army captured Baiyun Factory with lightning speed and immediately launched a rectification campaign. People like him

The old master received generous treatment.

This made Lei Quan feel flattered, because in his memory, although the work they did was not bad, they still had to work hard, and their life's fate was in the hands of the foremen and factory owners.

It's good if he has enough to eat, so how can he get such preferential treatment? What's more, he is still disabled, and it is even less likely that he will be treated like a master.

But in fact, what he thought was impossible has completely become a reality. Although Lei Quan had heard about turning over and becoming a master after liberation, he was skeptical. It was not until he experienced it himself that he discovered the differences in the new society.

, not only well fed and warmly clothed, but also

Living with dignity and being infinitely grateful, Lei Quan immediately gave up the idea of ​​caring for the elderly, completely put down his burdens, and devoted himself to production with a new mental outlook. In just half a year, Lei Quan made the fitter class he led become Baiyun.

Excellent factory team.

A few days ago, Bai Yi found Lei Quan through the introduction of his old acquaintance Wang Dehua. When he heard that the Chinese were going to build their own fully automatic rifle, Master Lei didn't say anything, he just patted his chest and took over the processing and went into battle himself.

, to process the parts needed to improve firearms, Master Lei is disabled but still has superb skills. The precision of the parts is so high that even Bai Yi, who traveled through time in his previous life, can't help but admire him.

"Yes, if you want to roll out the improved M1 carbine on a large scale, it is impossible without supporting large-scale industrial production equipment and related processes. Although Master Lei is highly skilled and superb at his work, his personal abilities are limited after all!

"Chen Yaoyang was also filled with emotion.

Like Bai Yi, I am indeed very happy to complete the improvement and manufacturing of the M1 carbine, but apart from being happy, I am also deeply helpless. They made the gun, but they basically relied on Master Lei to complete it manually.

It's not that they don't want to use mechanical equipment, it's just that the mechanical equipment that Baiyun Factory has cannot meet the requirements.

Not to mention anything else, just improving the 6.5mm barrel air guide hole of the M1 carbine almost made Bai Yi and Chen Yaoyang worry to death. This small gas guide craft hole may be nothing in developed countries. An ordinary worker’s drilling machine can

It can be typed out, but it is a huge problem in Baiyun Factory.

Let’s not talk about whether the punching machine is good or bad. Let’s just say that the drill bit on it has long been worn out. It is difficult to drill an ordinary screw hole, let alone an air guide hole that requires extremely high precision and craftsmanship, not to mention its age.

The punching machine was in disrepair and was on the verge of being scrapped. It is estimated that if a hole is not punched, the entire machine may fall apart.

In the end, there was no other way. Master Lei took action himself and used the most primitive manual drill to drill four barrels. Otherwise, let alone other things, just a small hole would have killed Bai Yi's gun-making plan.

, so although the improvement of firearms has been realized, Bai Yi and Chen Yaoyang are not happy because China's industrial base is too weak!

"There is a long way to go, and the burden on our shoulders is not light!" Bai Yi took a long breath, then turned his head and looked at the magazine in Chen Yaoyang's backpack, and asked: "By the way, our bullets

How many more are there?”

"It's less than 300 rounds! Technician Wang hurriedly made more than 500 rounds, but it still couldn't withstand the consumption. There was no way the material of the mold was not up to standard. After a few dozen rounds, it was scrapped!"

Chen Yaoyang couldn't help but smile bitterly. Firearms are difficult to make, and bullets are not difficult either. Although Bai Yi made full use of mature structures to optimize the new 6.5mm bullets, due to material, technology and even process reasons, the processing speed of the bullets

It can only maintain a minimum level.

Wang Dehua, who was responsible for the technical processing of bullets, racked his brains and tried his best to produce more than 500 rounds of new 6.5mm bullets. However, Bai Yi did not arrive for a few hours and fired more than 100 rounds.

It's just one person. If all the M1 carbines in the army are like this, what a terrible waste it will be?

Bai Yi also knew the pros and cons of this, so he was going to sit down with Chen Yaoyang and think of a way together to see if the problem of grinding tools for bullet processing could be solved first, but before he could speak, Lao Ge
Chapter completed!
