Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 352 Reloading bullets (first update!)

"Impossible!" This was Professor Li Xuebin's first reaction.

Wang Ping did not refute, but replied confidently: "If Professor Li doesn't believe it, I can show you something!"

The logistics department of the military region has now also built a chicken farm, but because the time is too short, the scale is not large. There are only five chicken coops with a thousand chickens, and the chickens are still too small to meet the requirements for egg production.

However, it was these thousand chickens that still shocked Li Xuebin like never before.

"How is it possible? This is a chicken farm. But, Director Wang, your Eighth Route Army doesn't even have enough rations, so how come you still have food to raise chickens!"

Li Xuebin stared at Wang Ping and asked, wanting an explanation.

"Go, Professor Li, I'll show you another place!" Wang Ping said directly.

Soon, the earthworm pool appeared in front of Professor Li.

I saw a few wounded soldiers dig out densely packed earthworms from the pond, put them in a basin, chop them up, and finally boil them in two huge iron pots!

Professor Li Xuebin must be a patient with intensive phobia, his scalp was numb immediately, and he asked with a puzzled face: "Director Wang, why are you raising so many earthworms?"

"Feed the chickens! Feed the chickens with boiled earthworm meat and vegetable leaves. It is more nutritious than food. It only takes three months for the chickens to lay eggs!"

Li Xuebin seemed to hear a big joke, he didn't believe it, and then subconsciously exclaimed: "Impossible, this must not be true!"

"They will go back to feed the chickens in a while, and you will know the truth of what I just said!" Wang Ping said confidently.

In less than 10 minutes, the workers scooped up the boiled earthworms, mixed them with the chopped vegetable leaves, and began to stir them in a ratio of about three to seven.After finishing, these disgusting foods in Professor Li's view were divided into pots and sent to the chicken coop!

Seeing the picture of one or two hundred chickens vying for food like crazy, Professor Li finally believed it.

With his mouth open, he was stunned for a full minute before he could react, then he stared at Wang Ping and asked, "Director Wang, how did you do it? How do you know that earthworms can be fed to chickens!"

"Secret!" Wang Ping replied directly.

Then he went on to introduce: "In addition to chicken farms, we have also built pig farms, sheep farms, and we are also reclaiming vegetable fields and wasteland by ourselves. You know, rotten leaves that have been treated in earthworm ponds are the best. Fertilizer, use it to increase the grain, and the yield can be increased by at least [-]%!"

"Also, some places in our military region have begun to promote this chicken raising technology to the common people in the base areas, so that the common people can become rich together with us and reduce the common people's burden!"

"I believe that under the influence of these policies, our Eighth Route Army will get better and better. Among other things, it is no problem to ensure that the soldiers have enough food and good food."

"As long as Professor Li is willing to join the arsenal, he can fully enjoy the political treatment of the tenth level of technology, that is, the political treatment of the battalion commander in the army. There must be no problem in supporting his family!"

"Of course, if Professor Li's family is educated and skilled, you can also join the arsenal or work in the military region!"

After some painful and difficult hesitation, Li Xuebin stared at Wang Ping and asked, "Director Wang, are you sure what you said just now is true and you are not lying to me!"

"I'm sure!" Wang Ping replied firmly.

"Professor Li, you can choose to stay here for half a year. After half a year, if you don't cook as I just said, you can choose to leave at any time."

"Okay! I'll stay in your Eighth Route Army for the time being! Isn't the arsenal urgently in need of some basic machining equipment? Tomorrow I'll start with my students. I hope you can provide us with a place, Director Wang. Also, for the manufacture of equipment There must still be a lot of parts that we need to build ourselves, so I need ten or at least five skilled blacksmiths!" Professor Li did not hesitate and made a decision very quickly.

Wang Ping was overjoyed, and happily replied, "Okay, I'll give you whatever you want. If our Eighth Route Army doesn't have one, I'll grab it from the devils! As for the craftsmen, I'll report to you tomorrow morning. In addition, I will ask the military region for instructions. Temporarily appoint you as the deputy director of the arsenal who specializes in the manufacture and maintenance of equipment, and enjoy political treatment at the battalion level before the rank is determined!"

The self-confidence on Li Xuebin's face convinced Wang Ping that within a short time, stamping machine tools, lathes, drilling machines, grinding machines and other mechanical machines for processing original parts would appear in front of him.

And with these mechanical mother machines, they can process various parts by themselves, and then assemble them into new machine tools to produce weapons and ammunition.

Even if there is no condition to produce new machine tools, these industrial mother machines can also process and produce weapon parts, plus the barrels of scrap weapons, and assemble rifles!
Wang Ping was relieved to hand over the transformation of the industrial mother machine to Professor Li, and then began to think about the specific development direction of the arsenal after its official establishment!

It is definitely not realistic to directly manufacture weapons and ammunition.

Not to mention that the arsenal does not have a piece of equipment that can manufacture weapons.Even if you get it in the end, the raw materials will be a big problem.

Especially the material used to make the barrel, if you want to ensure that the barrel and the rifling inside the barrel are durable, you must ensure that the raw material is strong enough.Based on the current foundation of the Eighth Route Army, it is certain that it will not be able to produce special steel for the production of gun barrels.

Of course, in history, the Eighth Route Army finally used a compromise method, using solid rails to make barrels.

It is very feasible, but even if the barrel is made and the rifling is drawn... many problems cannot be solved immediately by the arsenal.

The most critical problem is that there are no technicians and engineers who can make rifles in the arsenal.

Without people, even if there are equipment and raw materials, rifles cannot be manufactured.

After much deliberation, Wang Ping finally decided to reload bullets, make grenades, and repair damaged weapons and ammunition on the battlefield!
In a word, first accumulate experience and a sufficient number of technicians through these things, and then step by step to produce bullets, shells, rifles, and finally machine guns, heavy machine guns, and even artillery.

Reloading bullets, such arsenals and technologies existed during the Red Army period.

You only need to confirm the warhead, primer, and reloading bullets, there is no problem at all!

Although Li Xuebin is a professor of mechanics, because Wang Ping has everyone in his hands, he can only be brought here to discuss!

"Director Wang, the production of bullets and primers is a chemical problem. I know a man who went to the same school as me. At that time, we went south together and were finally caught by the devils. I was assigned to the Bald Ridge Coal Mine. He seemed to be assigned When I arrived at a copper mine, I instructed the devil to smelt the copper ore into a copper pad. If he can be found, the problem of the primer of the bullet will definitely be solved.”

"As for the bullets, the material is copper, and copper is very soft. As long as we make some molds on the stamping machine, tens of thousands of bullets can be pressed out in one day!"

"Do you know the exact location of the copper mine?" Wang Ping's eyes lit up and he asked after Li Xuebin.

"I don't like to follow the specific location. As far as I know, our generation seems to be a copper mine. If you plan to mass-produce bullets, Director Wang, you'd better control this copper mine!"

"Yes, how did I forget this? Pain is not iron and coal, it's everywhere! Professor Li, thank you, if you can really save Professor Zhou from what you said, then we will need your help to persuade him to join us Arsenal!" Wang Ping shouted happily, as if he had eaten honey, his face was as happy as a flower!
