(Thank you again for the rewards, Yuzi really worked hard!)

After listening to Chen Yaoyang's words, Bai Yi couldn't help but sigh, shook his head helplessly, then leaned down, touched a straight steel beam with his hand, knocked it again, then stood up and slapped his hand away.

There was rust and dust on the rails, and he nodded: "Fortunately, the guide rails can be used, that's it!"

"Chief Bai...this guide rail..."

After listening to Bai Yi's words, Chen Yaoyang immediately opened his eyes. Since the enlarged meeting of the Party Committee of the Military Control Commission ended, Chen Yaoyang was the first one to be pulled into the newly formed machine tool modification team by Bai Yi. Just after lunch, he followed Bai Yi to

In the warehouse area in the south of the factory, we inspected these scrapped machinery and equipment.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it. At first glance, Chen Yaoyang's heart feels cold. What's in the warehouse is not so much scrapped machinery as it is a pile of scrap copper and iron, which has been idle for a long time and has unlimited shortages.

Maintenance has caused these mechanical equipment that once produced guns and ammunition to become rusty or worn out, so much so that their original appearance is almost no longer visible.

Originally, Chen Yaoyang had some confidence in the "building block" machine tools that Bai Yi described. However, after entering the warehouse, his confidence dropped extremely. Until he saw the pile of rotten scrap metal in front of him, Chen Yaoyang's confidence

The index has long since disappeared. In his opinion, instead of wasting time here, it would be more practical to find a few usable steel frames and build a simple manual lathe.

Unexpectedly, Bai Yi lowered his body and only took a few glances before picking out the rusty guide rail. However, in Chen Yaoyang's eyes, it was this guide rail that was no different from a tattered one, so he shook his head.

, looked at Bai Yi sincerely: "Chief Bai, you also know that I study mechanics. Although I have fought for so many years and thrown a lot, I still know some basic principles..."

As he spoke, Chen Yaoyang squatted down and rubbed his sleeves on the guide rails to remove a layer of attached rust, revealing a mottled track.

Due to long-term use and improper maintenance, there were several gaps left on it. Chen Yaoyang pointed at those gaps and continued helplessly: "Not to mention anything else, these few gaps have already doomed this guide rail.

It will become a piece of scrap metal. You must know that in machine tools, a small defect may cause huge errors.

Even if one of them is not done well, it will damage the workpiece and cause casualties, so... Chief Bai, if it doesn't work, let's think of other methods. The manual lathe is simple and practical, and we can still make it!"

"I want to complete the processing of the bolt assembly within one day. Do you think it can be completed with a manual lathe?"

Bai Yi did not answer Chen Yaoyang's words, but asked him a calm question. Chen Yaoyang couldn't help opening his mouth when he heard the words, but he couldn't say a word. The gun components are all made of extremely hard steel, so for them

All processing is performed by professional industrial machine tools.

It's not that manual machine tools can't make it, but the problem is that the efficiency is too low. No matter how powerful human or animal power is, it can't be as powerful as steam or electricity. If nothing else, a few days ago they were making full-automatic improvements to the M1 carbine.

, some processing needs to be done to the original bolt components.

The processing volume is not large, but because the machinery in the factory cannot be freed up, and there are problems with the process, Master Lei can only do the processing on a manual machine tool. As a result, Master Lei has to work early in the morning and work late at night for a few ordinary cuts.

It took three days, and this is just a modification of the mature bolt assembly. If it is processed with a complete workpiece, the time required will increase exponentially. It is simply a fantasy to get it in one day.

.

But the problem is that Chen Yaoyang also wants to start a large-scale machine industry, but under the current situation, he does not have the basic equipment on hand. Can he do it with just these scraps of copper and iron? He seemed to feel the doubt in Chen Yaoyang's eyes.

Bai Yi patted the pile of iron frames beside him.

He took a long breath and said meaningfully: "Don't underestimate every machine here, let alone Baiyun Factory. The conditions of our factory are so good. There are coal mines and iron mines 30 kilometers to the east, and 60 kilometers to the northeast.

Fengman Hydropower Station, and these machines..."

With that said, Bai Yi looked around the warehouse full of scrapped machinery and continued: "They may not be usable when taken out, but look at the horizontal milling machine that was the first to look at, its base is very good

, and the frame of the milling machine we looked at before. Although the whole is in tatters, the rocker arm is still barely usable. If we integrate another guide rail to form a simple milling machine or lathe, there should be no big problem!"

"But forget about the base, the rocker arm is very defective, and the guide rail has no value at all!" Chen Yaoyang can understand Bai Yi's idea of ​​"building block" machine tools, and he also feels that

This method can be regarded as a good way to quickly and effectively enhance the production efficiency of Baiyun Factory.

However, ideas are ideas. It would be fine if the spare parts used for assembly are usable. But the problem is that those scrapped machines have long been rotten to the core, and there is no intact part at all. Speaking of which, if they can still be used

If they are reused, the Military Control Commission will not throw them in the warehouse as scrap metal. You must know that our military's thirst for military production equipment is also quite high.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yi shook his head, and then made a casual remark that made Chen Yaoyang almost spit out a mouthful of old blood: "I know it can't be used directly. Since it can't be used directly, then it will be repaired, but

Don’t tell me that Chen Yaoyang wants to have a free lunch, Cai Fen can’t get it, but I don’t!”

To be honest, the person standing in front of him was Bai Yi. If it were Lao Ge, Chen Yaoyang would definitely hit him with a soaring fist. Xiu, he also knows how to repair, but is repairing machine tools that simple? If nothing else,

The guide rail in front of me is a huge problem. I will put aside the rust removal and cleaning first. The most important thing is the gap on it.

It is small and dense, and cannot be spliced ​​or replaced. As for reprocessing one, forget it. If Baiyun Factory had such ability, the two of them would not have to come here in the cold weather to have an on-site inspection. They looked at Chen Yaoyang

He looked like he was about to suffer from internal injuries. Bai Yi couldn't help but smile and patted him on the shoulder: "Seeing that you are anxious, you just need to repair a few parts and weld it a few times and you'll be done with it!"

"You use welding? Chief Bai, that's a guide rail, a gap in the guide rail!" Chen Yaoyang was really anxious now. Electric welding is used to repair guide rails. If one part is not repaired well, let alone repairing it, the entire guide rail will be scrapped. However, Bai Yi is sure

He nodded: "Yes, it is welded. Oh, to be precise, it is welded with iron powder and adhesive. This is called cold welding process!"

"Bang!~" As soon as these words came out, Chen Yaoyang didn't think anything, but there was a crisp sound of metal collision at the door, and then a thunderous voice of excitement sounded in the warehouse: "Chief Bai, you said...
Chapter completed!
