And with so much iron material, if used to make Thunderbolt 1646 rifles, at least 100 can be made!
Under the terrifying range and lethality of the Thunderbolt 1646 rifle, the combat effectiveness that 100 rifles can exert is definitely stronger than one Napoleon cannon!
After Sun Xuebin failed to entangle him, he could only leave in despair.
No way, as the products of the industrial group are continuously designed and manufactured, the industrial group has become the highest-status organization among the units under the Provisional Management Committee.
What's more, there are still many things that Sun Xuebin asked to go to the industrial group. No matter what, he would never dare to offend the industrial group.
At this time, on the dock in the dock area, a group of members of the transportation team and technicians supported by the industrial team were busy on a thousand-ton cargo ship.
This cargo ship is one of the rare cargo ships that passed through the dock area unharmed.
When the crew discovered this cargo ship, it was filled with 600 tons of wheat that had just been produced.
In order to prevent the 600 tons of wheat from being damaged, it took a long time for the shuttle team to transport it, and various vehicles were used to transport it to a constant-temperature underground warehouse.
Now, in order to ensure the smooth mining of the Cochin Coal Mine, the Interim Management Committee has decided to use this thousand-ton cargo ship.
Just because it has the highest integrity, almost all other thousand-ton ships have some problems.
Of course, with the existing technical strength in the dock area, it does not mean that it cannot be repaired. However, since the industrial team's main energy is currently spent on the research and development of steam engines, it is simply impossible to allocate Fang Xiaoyue, the absolute main force, to repair the ship.
Besides, even if the research and development of steam engines comes to an end, there are still research and development projects such as machine tools, artillery and so on queuing up.
Therefore, in a short period of time, other cargo ships can basically be said to be unable to sail.
Of course, for this Cochin coal mining operation, a thousand-ton ship is enough for the time being.
No matter how bad the situation is, when shipping capacity is tight, it is not out of the question to take out a few of the existing intact 500-ton fishing boats.
At this time, Fang Xiaoyue was operating an instrument machine tool converted from a mechanical converter, continuously carving a large piece of metal, causing gold stars to fly, and countless steel chips to be thrown out from the boring tool.
In order to ensure that the Type 2 steam engine could be produced smoothly, Fang Xiaoyue finally shamefully used a plug-in.
It not only used the instrument machine tool converted by the mechanical converter, but also used the metal conversion ability to convert more than ten pieces of soil into metal.
Well, as we all know, the metal material converted by metal transformation is not fixed.
The more than ten pieces of compacted soil were eventually transformed into four materials: gold, copper, iron, and bronze.
Needless to say, the gold nuggets were secretly thrown into the spare warehouse of the industrial group by the members of the industrial group who looked shocked.
No way, this is like a magic touch. If it is not kept secret, it will really make a fuss and cause some trouble.
But to be honest, the extra attribute of metal conversion is really useful.
After carving some simple patterns, five or six hundred kilograms of soil will be transformed into nearly two tons of iron, or copper, or even five or six tons of gold, etc.
This simply breaks the law of conservation of mass and energy!
However, what can really be used in the manufacture of steam engines are iron blocks and copper alloy blocks, such as bronze, brass, etc.
Of course, copper alloys are definitely not as useful as iron when making steam engine cylinders.
But if you just make a batch of small and medium-sized steam engines, copper alloy is barely enough.
After all, as I said before, the current metal reserves of the industrial group are seriously insufficient. Fang Xiaoyue can produce such a batch of metals like magic, what else can be said.
Due to different metal materials, Fang Xiaoyue finally decided to use a boring tool to hollow out the metal block to make an integrated cylinder.
The advantage of the cylinder produced in this way is that it has excellent sealing performance and high energy conversion efficiency.
While everyone in the industrial group was busy, brand-new steam engines came out one after another and were sent to the refurbished thousand-ton freighter.
At this time, the recruit camp also ended its week-long shooting training.
Various prepared quilts were immediately distributed.
During the twenty-two days of training, Wan Lao Yao, whose face was even darker from the sun, was extremely excited to put on the combat vest he had just received on his green military uniform.
Well, the current uniforms for group training in the dock area include two sets of training uniforms, two sets of summer uniforms, two sets of winter uniforms (not yet issued), winter coats (not yet issued), one military quilt, one combat backpack, and a combat vest
One, an armed belt, a bulletproof helmet, etc.
New recruits like these, even those who had just transferred from military households, had never seen so many clothes issued at once.
Even some new recruits who are used to being poor are reluctant to put on brand new combat vests.
It can be said that this combat vest is completely based on the LPA combat vest before crossing. It contains a thin steel plate on the front and back, which can withstand the stabbing of some small weapons and long-distance bullet shooting. There are twelve small pockets on the front, which can
Storing the integrated paper bullets of the Mini rifle and some small tools is a great convenience for these recruits.
Not to mention, when the recruits were kicked and scolded by the officers and put on combat vests, armed belts, backpacks, and thunderbolt 1646 rifles, Sun Xuebin, who was standing aside, felt
My mind was a little confused, and I felt like I was back before time travel.
No way, in order to improve the concealment of soldiers on the battlefield, except for the simple camouflage color of their training uniforms, the rest of their military uniforms are military green.
At least when fighting in the south, this military green color can make it difficult for the enemy to detect it from a long distance.
"Take a break! Stand at attention! Count!"
The commander of the first battalion, who was also the duty officer of the regiment, began to organize the team, and then jogged and reported loudly to Sun Xuebin: "Report to the regiment commander! Our regiment should have 573 people, but actually there are 573 people. Please give instructions."
!”
After Sun Xuebin returned the gift, he took out the document issued by the Provisional Management Committee and loudly announced the plan for the operation, the number of people to cooperate with the troops, etc.
This time, when going to Cochin to develop coal mines, the main members were sent by the logistics group and the industrial group with ten people each, while the military group sent the first battalion to be responsible for possible battles in the early stage, as well as the security work after the coal mine was established.
Due to the small number of recruits, the first battalion actually only had more than 200 people.
Of course, in the eyes of the big bosses of the Provisional Management Committee, more than two hundred soldiers equipped with Thunderbolt 1646 rifles are enough to handle a small-scale landing battle.
In fact, when he first formulated the plan, Sun Xuebin only thought that sending one company would be enough.
