"I can understand why we buy other key components from outside, but why do we also buy the shell? Don't you guys have the ability to process a steel shell now?"
Lin Mo frowned when he heard this. No matter how he thought about it, he didn't think processing a steel shell was a difficult problem, right?
Wu Liangdong heard this and hurriedly explained: "It can be processed, but after research, we found that according to the information that Mr. Scott may provide, processing the steel shell requires the use of a high-pressure press.
There are two pieces of equipment in that batch, but this equipment is very critical. They are needed for many important tasks. They have not been assembled yet. If the work is really scheduled, it may take a year.
Moreover, this kind of equipment is also very strictly controlled abroad. Even if you can find a way to buy it, there won't be much of it. In the factory, there are more and more important jobs that need to be done.
But according to your requirements for the production of mines, if we want to achieve the quantity you mentioned, we need to free up at least one or two units specifically to produce steel shells. It’s not that we can’t produce them, but it just feels too uneconomical.”
Lin Mo frowned slightly and asked: "What if we use a poured shell? Is it suitable?"
Wu Liangdong shook his head directly and said: "The performance of the casting will be too poor. The weapon we chose is a relatively backward weapon. If other aspects are improvised, the final performance of the weapon will be greatly compromised.
Even heating the steel to soften it and make it easier to process will not work with a smaller press. One is that its strength may be greatly affected, and thermal expansion and contraction will make its specifications and dimensions extremely unreliable, which in turn affects the
There will also be a lot of losses in performance.
The best way is to use high-pressure pressure to directly cold-press the steel material, directly shape it to standard size, and then further process it into a mine."
After Lin Mo listened, he thought about it carefully. When he was looking at the repair shop, Lin Mo recalled some situations, took out a pen and paper, and started drawing and talking at the same time.
"You can try using explosive molding!" Lin Mo suggested. Seeing Wu Liangdong's confused look, he probably didn't understand, so Lin Mo continued to explain.
"Are you clear about the damage principle of sea mines? The density of water is greater. After the explosion, the water is compressed and transmits huge pressure, which acts on the target and causes damage. This is its main means of destruction.
Among presses, hydraulic presses also use water to transmit pressure. In that case, why can't items be pressed into shape through the principle of mines? There may be many limitations, but it should be completely feasible to use it to press spherical shells!
"
Wu Liangdong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly took the schematic diagram handed over by Lin Mo, who also explained it to him.
“Build a pool, install a mold on the bottom of the pool, fill it with materials, fill it with water, and then pump out the water and even air through the pipes of the mold.
Then, place the explosive in the center of the pool and detonate it, transmit the pressure through the water, and squeeze the material into shape. You may need to test the amount of explosives, water filling, etc. to find the appropriate values."
Wu Liangdong nodded like he was pecking rice, holding the drawings as if they were treasures, and said with a smile: "This plan is most likely feasible. After the test is successful, we will no longer have to worry about the steel shell, and may even consider explosives and other things.
Can you keep up?"
Lin Mo nodded and did not deny this. He stopped Wu Liangdong who was about to get out of the car and asked: "Uncle Wu, do you have any clues about the grenade gun that I asked you to develop before? I feel that the boat force will be interested in it by then."
"
Wu Liangdong shook his head slightly and said: "The prototype has been made, but it has encountered many problems, and I'm afraid they won't be solved for a while."
Lin Mo frowned, not expecting there to be any unsolvable problems, and asked: "Explain these problems to me in detail!"
Wu Liangdong was a little embarrassed when he heard this. After thinking about it, he said: "The problem is not easy to describe. Why don't you find time to go to the training ground to test it and see for yourself?"
"...Okay..." Lin Mo nodded and said, "You can arrange it! Remember to inform me in advance and I will go over and take a look."
Lin Mo agreed, let Wu Liangdong out of the car, and returned to the station with Xu Guyu. It was already dark, and the two were planning to summarize the situation overnight. After reporting tomorrow, they would temporarily end the work that had been running for several days.
But unexpectedly, Boss Dai was already waiting for them at the station. The two hurried over to make a report, but after listening to the report, Boss Dai still looked sad.
When the two saw this, their hearts trembled for a moment and they looked at each other. Xu Guyu hurriedly asked about it and found out that it was the Marine Police boat incident and there was nothing wrong with it.
But what's worse is that there is a more troublesome and difficult situation. The secret service headquarters saw that the plan failed, and was even taken advantage of by them. As a result, another poisonous plan was devised.
Those guys set their sights on the Special Operations Group. Of course, they definitely didn't want to take it for themselves. They just wanted to do something bad and cut off the Intelligence Department's arm.
Those guys found someone to whisper in Chiang Kai-shek's ears, telling them how powerful a small team in the Intelligence Department was and how powerful their combat effectiveness was. Anyway, they gave it a lot of praise.
Of course, they were not really praising them out of kindness, and they didn’t even know what was good about them. What were their strengths? But after they finished praising them, they changed the subject and said that these people were suitable to be transferred to Lao Chiang Kai-shek as a guard.
"Today, when I reported the situation to the principal, the principal asked about the situation of the fourth team. I guess the principal was tempted by it!" Boss Dai rubbed his temples and spoke.
"There's nothing we can do about it! The Chairman has shown his intention, can we still refuse?" Xu Guyu was also quite helpless and a little discouraged.
"...It's not okay to give it..." Lin Mo shook his head and analyzed: "It goes without saying that if we don't give it, the principal may think that we are not loyal enough. After all, this is related to his safety.
On the surface, it looks like it's just a giveaway, but in fact it's not at all. This is a poisonous plan and a big pit that may bury us. Once we agree to this, we will be fooled.
At first, no one might say anything! They might also praise the strength of the four teams, congratulate the principal on ensuring their safety, and so on! But after a while, some voices will probably come out.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Such heart-wrenching words as we arrange people around the principal, place people in, we have evil intentions, spy on the principal, etc., directly cut off our roots.
The principal may not believe it at first, but if he can't stand talking about it, he will inevitably have a bump or a thorn in his heart. At that time, once the seeds of doubt are planted, maybe with an ordinary action or a word from us, the principal may put him in trouble.
It's all about this.
What about once or twice? What about ten or a hundred times? As time goes by, it’s inevitable that we won’t have suspicions. And we rely on the principal’s trust to compete with them. They are just here to bury us.
.
Furthermore, the personnel composition of the fourth team is not suitable for this arrangement. The people in the fourth team were originally either close confidants of the senior management of the department, or even related by relatives, or I recruited them from outside.
They have almost a binding relationship with the Intelligence Department. Even if they cut it, who would believe that it has been completely cut? Once they figure out the situation of the fourth team and start from here, we will have a hard time clarifying it even with eight mouths.
Moreover, for the protection of the chairman, we are only responsible for the outer security, and the waiting room is responsible for the interior. But if the fourth team is transferred, there is a high probability that it will not be responsible for the outer perimeter. We will intervene in it. Will they be happy?
?
I wanted to build a good relationship before, but if I agree to this matter, it will be ruined. If the secret service headquarters uses some tricks to get involved, there is no guarantee that they will not become enemies!
If the relationship between the two parties is so bad and they try harder on the previous matter, the consequences will be needless to say. If they take action, the effect will be much more deadly than that of the secret service headquarters!"
After listening to what Lin Mo said, Xu Guyu felt his scalp go numb. If it develops as Lin Mo said, needless to say, they might really be hammered to death!
"Poison! How damn poisonous! But can those guys at the secret service headquarters have such a plan?" Xu Guyu said briefly, but he also had doubts. After all, the other party couldn't even defeat the water bandits.
Lin Mo heard this and said: "Our enemies and opponents are not limited to the secret service headquarters! The stronger we are, the more enemies we have. There is no guarantee that there will not be others scheming among us.
The Secret Service Headquarters cannot underestimate these people. They are amateurs fighting externally and experts fighting internally. They may be good at scheming against their own people!
Moreover, even if they do not have such a deep calculation at the moment, as long as there is a possibility of it developing to this point, we have to guard against it, because we cannot guarantee whether anyone will think of it in the future."
"...Okay..." Boss Dai raised his hand helplessly and said: "It won't help if you continue to struggle with these things. Let's think carefully about how to handle this matter properly!"
After hearing this, Xu Guyu glanced at Lin Mo brightly. Boss Dai also looked at him with a vague look. Lin Mo was not surprised and guessed it. Otherwise, why would Boss Dai say this here?
Lin Mo didn't show off, and said directly: "Since it doesn't matter if you give it, and it doesn't matter if you don't give it, then why can't we let them have it themselves? We can practice it, there is no reason they can't! What's more, we can also help practice it.
As for the reason, the special operations team is stronger than ever. The starting point of his training is to capture difficult Japanese spies, send out field service, and even penetrate behind enemy lines in the future to carry out assassinations and raids.
They are trained in the offensive direction, and their strength is indeed strong, but after all, they do not meet the needs of security. You can suggest that the principal arrange guards or other personnel to accept the selection and assessment of our organization.
After passing the assessment, the qualified personnel will be trained in basic tactics, and then have the special operations team conduct confrontation drills with them, and use the sharpest weapons in our hands to hone the strongest and strongest shield. This is the best option."
"...You kid..." Xu Guyu smiled and smacked his lips. Boss Dai also wiped away his sadness when Lin Mo said something about spears and shields. He was quite satisfied.
"More than that, we can also set up a training camp in the future, and let all parties arrange people to come over, and we will select and train them.
Of course, the most core and critical things must not be leaked at will, but training in regular projects is enough to train a team with strong combat capabilities, so that no one will try to make four teams again.
Naturally, the expenses will be borne by them. We have the final say on the number and will not be subject to review. It’s the personnel! They must show their commitment. It’s not too much to deduct a few people, right?”
Xu Guyu and Boss Dai listened happily. Although they were a little reluctant, thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was not impossible. After all, as Lin Mo said, it was not necessary to reveal the secret.
Of course, if this is the case, it stands to reason that the opponent can also train himself. At most, he lacks experience and is a little behind in training.
However, normal soldier training is a problem for many armies of the government, let alone organizing this level of training, so this method can also be used.
Of course, this is not what we should be worrying about right now. After asking Lin Mo for more details, Boss Dai left quickly. This matter should not be delayed for too long.
