Chapter 86 Challenge
"Build a machine?"
Hearing what Bai Yi said, even Lin Bo, who had a serious face, couldn't help but be startled. He straightened up from his chair and urged Bai Yi: "Xiao Bai, please tell me carefully, how to build a machine!"
Not only Lin Bo, Song Jixue and even other participants were very curious. It may be easy to operate a machine, but it is simply difficult to build a machine. It would have been fine in the heyday of the Baiyun Factory, but the problem is that the current Baiyun Factory can barely operate at half of its capacity.
The existing machinery and equipment are just tinkering. It would be great if they can be repaired. How can we still build machines?
Even if we take a step back, Baiyun Factory has this technical foundation, but it does not have such professional talents. The masters in the workshop have no problem with the operation, but none of them can understand the principles. As for those transferred from Dongye
There are technical cadres who are engaged in military production, but they are also ignorant of more complex mechanical equipment. After all, the rows are separated by mountains, and the smoke of gunfire is not the metal chipping with sparks after all, and it is difficult to connect them.
Bai Yi was not surprised by the reactions around him, so he cleared his throat and continued: "Yes, it's about building machines. If the head of the General Logistics Department thinks that our Baiyun Factory still has potential, then I think this potential lies with us.
On those scrapped machines in the factory warehouse."
"Xiao Bai, wait a minute, are you saying that you want to use the scrapped machines in the warehouse to transform them?"
Before Bai Yi finished speaking, Song Jixue took over the conversation. Bai Yi nodded naturally: "That's right!"
Song Jixue and Lin Bo looked at each other, and then turned to look at Bai Yi: "Xiao Bai, maybe you have been here for a short time, and you may not understand that there are a lot of scrapped machinery in the warehouse, but basically they have been completely destroyed."
It was scrapped. In fact, we had already thought about this when we first took over the Baiyun Factory. For this reason, our superiors specially invited mechanical experts with the intention of repairing and reusing it.
Unfortunately, these scrapped machines were so badly damaged that only individual parts could still be used. In the end, we had no choice but to remove the usable parts and use them as spare parts for repairing the machinery in the four workshops. The rest could only be used for
It will be treated as scrap steel and the steel ingots will be melted for reuse after the blast furnace workshop is restored."
What Song Jixue said is absolutely correct. The scrap machinery in the factory warehouse that Bai Yi mentioned was scrapped machinery eliminated by the warlords and the Japanese occupation period. It has long been unusable. Otherwise, when the Soviet Union captured the Baiyun Factory, it would have been destroyed long ago.
They were moved away en masse, but these scrap machines are extremely valuable to our army.
After all, for the border arsenal, which is comparable to a handicraft workshop, even scrapped machinery is of great value. Therefore, after our army captured the Baiyun Arsenal, it did conduct an unprecedented excavation of the scrapped machinery here to restore it.
Try to restore as much as possible. If it is really impossible to restore, you have to study each component. Even a perfect screw must be reused. In short, our army can be said to have squeezed the final potential of these scrapped items to the extreme.
As for the rest, in addition to being used as scrap iron, it can only be scrap iron. Otherwise, the mechanical experts invited would not be able to shake their heads after seeing this batch of scrapped machinery. There is no way, there is really no way to reuse it.
Because of this, no one mentioned this batch of scrapped machinery in the previous meeting. Therefore, when Bai Yi raised it, Song Jixue reminded him, no.
Guo Baiyi shook his head: "Secretary Song, I have seen those machines and they are indeed in bad condition, but I cannot say that they are useless. For example, the base of a scrapped boring machine I saw is still stable.
The guide rails above are also very regular. If you add a set of motors and drill bits after removing the rust, it will immediately become a simple boring machine for processing gun barrels;
There is also a horizontal milling machine with only one frame left, and the warehouse happens to have the scrapped indexing heads and spare tools that were replaced in the No. 2 workshop. If we find a way to integrate them into it, our factory can process the main structure of the large-caliber artillery.
It’s not a problem. Another example is the machine tool frame I looked at..."
As Bai Yi spoke, he gestured with the frames of various machines with his hands. Feeling a little unimpressive, he simply picked up a pen and started drawing in his notebook. The people around him listened quietly at first, and then looked at Bai Yi with wide eyes in disbelief.
Yi, but it didn't take long for them to get up one after another, walk to Bai Yi, and surround him in the center, watching, listening, and thinking. Even Lin Bo and Song Jixue were no exception.
And Bai Yi is very familiar with the old machinery, spare parts and even replaced scrap parts in the warehouse of Baiyun Factory. He is also very familiar with the structure and even the methods of repair. People around him can't help but sigh. Bai Yi seems to have something.
Prepared.
In fact, this is indeed the case. During the more than half a month since he came to Baiyun Factory, Bai Yi not only assisted Tong Lin in arresting Zhan Hongtao and took the opportunity to develop new guns, but also took a tour of the inside and outside of Baiyun Factory.
He touched everything inside and out, especially the factory warehouse that was in charge of his quality assurance department.
It is precisely because of this that he has been eyeing the scrapped machinery in the warehouse early in the morning. The reason for this is very simple. He wants to make new firearms, but to make them, he must use mechanical equipment. Handmade ones are only emergency, industrialized.
Mechanical mass production is the ultimate right path.
However, judging from the current situation of the Baiyun Factory, it is already very good that the four workshops under construction can complete the task indicators of their superiors. It is impossible to free up machinery to support the development of his new gun. Perhaps by this time next year, the country will be basically liberated.
, the output of the Baiyun Factory may decrease, and I can build a few machines and make a few prototype guns.
But at that time, it was less than half a year before the Korean Civil War broke out. Even if I had the unparalleled golden thighs of time travellers, I would not be able to build a strong, durable, reliable and reliable product in just half a year with an extremely weak industrial base.
New firearms with great power are released.
Among other things, the poor reliability of the improved M1 carbine is a typical example. At first, Bai Yi felt that with his powerful ability as a time traveler, changing a semi-automatic firearm into a fully automatic firearm was not a child's play.
As a result, the firearm was released, but because the internal structure and processing technology could not keep up, the reliability was extremely poor.
Only then did Bai Yi realize that his previous ideas were too naive. The ability of time travellers is powerful, but if they are separated from the current industrial base, they are just duckweeds on the sea. If the ship capsizes, it will capsize. So he
There is an urgent need for a batch of equipment, and the simpler the better.
Because only in this way can he plan more reasonable improved firearms based on the production status of these equipment. After all, this is not the previous life. Designers can rely on strong industrial capabilities to exert their will. Weak industrial capabilities are like a cage, restraining everything.
