Chapter 210 Math Abyss!

Quartz sand is not absent. On the contrary, No.12 and the military geological exploration team have successfully found quartz placer and graphite mines in the Maogaitu area near Yicheng.

However, this is not enough.

In fact, for the military industry, the more sources of supply of various mineral resources, the better.

Mining two coal mines means that the risk of losing coal supply in the base area is reduced by half under the same level of mining.

In the same way, there is only one supply base for quartz sand mines, and once lost, the demand for the base is directly interrupted.

This is not acceptable.

"Immediately report to the superior that we have found coal mines in this area and are looking for quartz placer deposits." The chief military officer of the No. 18 military geological survey team told the correspondent.

"Yes!" The correspondent waved the whip with his right hand, and controlled the warhorse under him to gallop towards Yulin City.

Yulin, which was the headquarters of the pre-war production program.

Thirty military geological exploration teams, starting from Yulin and spreading across the endless Yikzhao League, are tasked with finding mineral resources for the military industry.

As for why you choose Ikezhao League.

Because, Yu Hua once proposed the concept of Ikzhao League Industrial Base, and gave data on the existence of abundant natural resources in Ikzhao League.

With the right direction, the remaining exploration work is nothing more than a result of continuous trial and error and finally a successful outcome.

The base, Kangda, is in a cave.

There is an earthen kang, a broken wooden table, and two cups of hot boiled water. These are the material conditions in the cave. A middle-aged man is sitting in front of the broken wooden table, with a firm and calm face, wearing glasses, He was wearing a gray military uniform that was a little whitish, and he showed a refined temperament.

"Report!" Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door.

"Come in." The middle-aged man said rightly.

The door of the cave room opened, and the anti-university student who also wore glasses appeared, with a straight posture and a solemn face, revealing the temperament of an iron-blooded soldier, stepping into the cave, limping in his posture.

Seeing the people sitting in the cave, Chen Lame was stunned for a moment, then came to the table and raised his hands in salute: "Hello, Chief."

"Sit, how have you been at school these past few months?" The elegant soldier smiled and motioned for the lame Chen to sit down and asked with concern.

"Fulfilling and feeling like I'm improving every day."

Chen Lame nodded and sat down, answered truthfully, and then took the initiative to ask: "Sir, is there something important this time?"

He entered the Anti-Japanese University in January this year, and now it has been April. During this time, he has been staying in the school, and he does not know much about the outside world.

"That's right, the superior called you this time because he wanted you to engage in military production." The elegant soldier nodded, his eyes fixed on Chen Lazi, his words were sonorous and powerful.

"Military production? I don't know." Chen Cripple was stunned for a moment, a little confused. He thought there was a combat mission, but he didn't think it was military production.

He doesn't know this shit at all.

"Will I?"

The elegant soldier looked at Chen Lame and asked back: "The Japanese will, Lao Jiang will, and Yan Xishan will also, they can make machine guns and cannons, the Japanese can build tanks, planes and warships, but they will give you Chen Lame for nothing. ? The supply of weapons and ammunition for the army now relies entirely on the capture and the remaining wealth from the past, how long can it be supported by the wealth and seizure alone?"

The three questions in a row left Chen Crippy speechless.

His family understands his own affairs, and Chen Laizi certainly understands the situation and problems of the army. For a long time, the supply of weapons and ammunition has been the top priority for the Red Army.

Unable to produce their own weapons and ammunition, the combat effectiveness of the troops can never be improved, and they will be even more timid in battle.

This is the biggest problem facing the army. It is like a majestic mountain in front of it. It cannot be moved or circumvented. It must be solved.

"How many soldiers have to fight hand to hand because of lack of ammunition? How many times have they lost battles because of lack of weapons and ammunition? Chen Cripper, you want to see this scene all the time, don't you?" The elegant soldier raised his right hand and slapped the table hard The table top trembled violently, causing bursts of dust, and the whole person stared at Chen Lai Zi, his words were sharp and direct.

"Chief, don't talk about it, I'll do this military production!" Feeling the fierce momentum of the elegant soldier, Chen Lame immediately stood up, raised his chest, and said loudly.

"Okay, what I want is your spirit. Don't be afraid of difficulties, and don't be afraid of difficulties. There are always more ways than difficulties."

The elegant soldier stood up and nodded with satisfaction: "This military production plan, the superior is preparing to establish an independent military production system with grenades, rifles, mortars and ammunition, the goal is to achieve the ability to independently manufacture light weapons, and you are responsible for this. Person in charge, the official document has been issued to the headquarters, this is your transfer order and appointment letter, report to the Liushudian Arsenal this afternoon."

"Crack!" Two paper documents with the red seal of the higher-level organization were slapped on the desktop with a slap.

"Grenades, rifles, mortars and ammunition, all produced in-house?!"

Chen Lazi looked surprised: "Do we have these technologies? As far as I know, explosives and detonators are needed to make grenades. The key to making rifles lies in the barrel. The barrel needs qualified steel to make seamless steel pipes, drilling and processing. Rifling, mortars also need seamless steel pipes, and they also need to develop artillery shells, and the production of bullets is extremely troublesome, primers, propellants, warheads, shells..."

To be reasonable, Chen Crips wondered if he had heard it wrong.

It is unimaginable how difficult it is to establish an independent military production system for light weapons such as grenades, rifles, mortars, and ammunition.

Just thinking about it is enough to give you a headache.

Making a gun depends on the barrel. The raw material for making the barrel comes from steel. The production of steel involves smelting technology and the supply of raw materials. One link is linked to the other. If one link is missing, a gun barrel cannot be built.

But this is not the end, the soul of the barrel lies in the rifling.

To be accurate, the rifling must be machined.

The processing of rifling involves the machine tool equipment used for actual processing, as well as the design of the rifling shape, and the processing efficiency cannot be too low. When it comes to processing efficiency, the problem will return to the link of machine tool equipment. In addition, the problem of worker training must be solved. .

This is the manufacturing process of the barrel, not counting all aspects of the entire gun.

Then, there is a core issue, drawing design.

After searching the entire base, there are no technicians who can understand weapon design!

Finally, back to the beginning, another core problem has to be solved - what kind of rifle to make?
Is it a new design of a rifle, or is it an official copy?
Of the four targets, the mortar is the most difficult, followed by the rifle, then the ammunition, and finally the grenade, each of which has to go through more or less of these problems.

"Chen Lame, that's what you said you don't want to engage in military production? You, a military academy student in the first phase of Huangpu, know more than I do." The elegant soldier did not rush to explain, but asked with a smile.

"Uh...I just understand this. You want me to make steel, configure explosives and detonators, process rifling, and develop and design weapons. I don't know all of these." Chen Lazi was a little embarrassed.

"Don't worry, the technical problems you mentioned have basically been solved. All you have to do is to build a gun suitable for our soldiers and a mortar suitable for our team. You have arrived at the willow store for details. After the arsenal, someone will tell you." The elegant soldier said straightly.

basically solved?
Chen Crippy was full of question marks, puzzled and confused.

Is it because he stayed in the Anti-Daily for too long, or the speed of the team's development is beyond imagination, when will these technical problems be solved?

Technical problems solved, which in turn means - we already have the technology!
……

Thousands of miles away in northern Shaanxi, an unknown pre-war production is going on. As the largest city in the north, Peiping is in the same situation as before. Ordinary people are running around for three meals a day. Clients of different identities enter and exit places of different grades, with a studious attitude, with the help of brothel women, they feel the philosophy of life and experience a variety of flavors.

This is life.

Yu Hua's life is basically the same as before, eating, sleeping and studying. Recently, with the help of "Introduction to Number Theory" given by Master Hua Luogeng, Yu Hua successfully entered the field of analytic number theory, like a swimming fish, constantly exploring mathematics that he has never been exposed to. world.

Or, the mathematical abyss.
