Damn Fatty, you are so filthy, you put someone’s photo so close to your body. Although Ji Yanxue didn’t touch her photo, she could seem to feel the temperature in it, it must be very warm! I heard that Fatty’s body was covered with
warm.
Ji Yanxue gently sat down on the chair that still had Liu Lang's body temperature, and thinking about her daughter, Ji Yanxue held the tea cup, lowered her head, with a gentle face, revealing her fair neck, which was extremely beautiful.
Perhaps only the poem by Xu Zhimo, a great poet of the Republic of China, can describe the beauty of Ji Yanxue at this time: the gentleness of the lowered head, like the shyness of a water lotus that cannot withstand the cool breeze.
If Fatty Liu saw it now, he would probably be captured instantly, and there would be no need to use the so-called Fatty's physical memory as an excuse.
It's a pity that what Fatty Liu saw now was a man, a man of a foreign race, and a man who came to cause trouble for him.
"Dear Liu, I finally found you." Grunov shouted loudly at Liu Lang from a distance, startling Liu Lang who was eager to run away.
Can you remove the first three words? When did the serious Germanic people learn to be like the Yankees and shout so sensationally?
"Dr. Grunov, I haven't seen you for several days. What's wrong? Are you asking me to drink?" Liu Lang laughed and said in German.
"No, no, it's better not to drink. Your Chinese liquor is too strong. If you have a chance to come to my motherland, I'll treat you to a beer. Munich's Black Label tastes great." Grunov shook his hands, very wisely.
He refused Liu Lang's polite invitation.
The feeling of drinking with someone who can drink 52% liquor is actually not good at all. Grunov, who has been in a daze for several days, is not stupid.
"Drink a beer? Okay! I will sacrifice my life to accompany him when the time comes. I wonder if the doctor has anything else to do? I have to go to the recruit training camp." Liu Lang said with a smile.
"Colonel, did you ask Captain Liang to give our machinery factory an order? An order to make bullets?" Grunov asked bluntly.
"yes!"
"Making 400,000 rounds of ammunition a month?"
"That's right?"
"Oh, God! Colonel, you must be crazy. The maximum output of our machinery factory can only produce 100,000 rounds per month. The stamping machine is still under testing. How can we increase the output four times in the short term? This is not possible.
Possible mission," Grunov shouted.
"Nothing in the world is difficult, as long as you are willing to climb." Liu Lang pretended to say a word of encouragement that the teacher often said in class.
Although in reality it is of no use.
The same goes for Grunov.
"We don't have enough lathes, we don't have enough people, and we don't have enough raw materials. Even if you put a knife on my neck, I can't complete the task you gave me." Grunov naturally would not be deceived by the Chinese teacher's words.
The head shakes like a rattle, indicating that it is impossible to climb.
"If you don't have enough people, I'll give you people. In just two days, your machinery factory will have more than 200 new workers. If you don't have enough equipment, I'll give you equipment. The lathes purchased from Chengdu will arrive in the next two days."
Good thing, your stamping machine tool can be tested while producing. A great man once said: Practice is the only criterion for testing truth! As for the raw materials you mentioned...what is the main lack?" Liu Lang asked
road.
"Copper, a lot of copper." Grunov said simply.
This was actually the real purpose of him coming to Liu Lang.
Since the machinery factory moved to the Independence Regiment's military base in the mountains, the machinery factory has been officially named Qinglong Machinery Factory. The Independence Regiment provides the factory buildings and workers' residences as well as all the raw materials produced. The property rights are almost equally divided between Liu Shunhe and the Independence Regiment.
Independent groups account for 51%.
Although the senior leaders of the independent group strongly opposed it and felt that this would take too much advantage of the Liu family, Liu Lang still insisted on such equity distribution. Because they did not know what the situation would be in a few years, and Liu Lang wanted to continue to work in the country in the future.
, the Liu family must be transformed from big landowners into red-topped patriotic businessmen. In the face of the torrent of the general trend, even Liu Lang must take precautions.
Because he was already Liu Lang who was closely connected with the Liu family in Sichuan, and he had already drifted away from Liu Lang who was from a family of poor and lower-middle peasants and soldiers for eight generations in his previous life.
As the first foreign general manager and chief designer hired by Qinglong Machinery Factory, Grunov still hopes to run this semi-official and semi-private machinery factory well. Of course, Grunov does not accept the arms order given by the independent group.
Will be sloppy.
To paraphrase the Chinese proverb: A clever woman cannot make a meal without rice. Seeing that the wrought copper in stock can only last for five days, Grunov naturally has to come to Liu Lang to solve the problem. Although Grunov knows that the entire China needs a large amount of imports
The main reason for bullets is the lack of raw materials and too little copper.
Before coming to China, Grunov conducted a survey on China's industrial manufacturing. The steel output was 30,000 tons/year, the copper output was 700 tons/year, and the coal output was 28 million tons/year. Such extremely low industrial output was almost
This did not make Grunov drop his jaw. It was hard for him to imagine that these were the industrial report cards of a large country with a civilization of 5,000 years and a population of 400 million. Not to mention compared with his motherland, which is still under sanctions.
That island country in the East China Sea is more than a hundred times larger than China.
"Is copper used to make bullet casings?" Liu Lang asked casually with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"Of course, all bullets, from the core to the shell, are made of copper." Grunov looked at Liu Lang with contempt and explained seriously.
"I remember that our machinery factory didn't have a lot of wrought copper, but there should still be a lot of steel. Why don't we use steel to make bullet casings?" Liu Lang seemed not to see the contemptuous look in the German doctor's eyes, and continued to talk to himself.
"Use steel?" Grunov was stunned for a moment, then shook his head firmly and said: "Dear Liu, your idea is too whimsical. Since the birth of modern breech-loading guns, the bullets used have been made of copper.
,In terms of metallic properties, copper is also the best manufacturing material.”
"I'd like to hear the details." Liu Lang smiled as he had already thought of the key points.
"First of all, in terms of physical properties, copper is soft and has good ductility. It can expand and deform slightly under high temperature and high pressure during firing, and it has good air tightness. In addition, copper is also a very good self-lubricating material.
, so the resistance when extracting the shell is small, and the chance of breaking and jamming is also very low. Steel, because of its poor ductility, will stick closely to the barrel of the gun, so it is easy for the shell to be unsmooth, so it must be made obvious
The conical shape can avoid jamming. In addition, steel bullets cannot be reloaded and there is a risk of exploding the chamber. At the same time, due to the expansion and deformation of the cartridge case, the gun may not be able to be reset, but copper bullets do not have this problem." Grunov
The advantages of copper bullets are explained in one breath.
Very professional and detailed.
If Liu Lang hadn't time traveled back from eighty years later.
"Doctor, if we paint the outside of the steel bullet casing with copper paint, can we solve the problem of poor shell extraction?" Liu Lang asked with a smile.
Liu Lang naturally has his backing when he says this. The future Republic, until he traveled through time, was still using steel-cased bullets covered with copper paint. Decades of use have proven that steel-cased bullets are also good for killing people.
The wounds of Annan's ungrateful jungle monkeys have not fully healed into the twenty-first century.
"Oh, God, maybe this is a good idea." Grunov is an expert in metal materials. After a moment of thought, he knew that Liu Lang's idea might be feasible. "But, how to solve the problem of bullet reloading?"
"Bullets are always used to kill people. If there is no victory, who will have the opportunity to collect bullet casings? What's more, if the cost of bullets can be reduced by using steel, do we still need to reload them?"
"Colonel, I have to say, you are really a crazy general, okay! I was convinced by you. As long as the personnel and equipment you promised can be guaranteed, I can also guarantee the delivery of 400,000 rounds of ammunition per month." Grunov said sincerely.
's sigh.
After saying that, Grunov turned around and left without any hesitation.
He is also very busy now. He promised Liu Lang to deliver the first experimental light machine gun within two months. The parts are still being manufactured. He has no extra time to talk to Liu Lang anymore.
Of course, poor Dr. German couldn't admit it. He was afraid that the Chinese Colonel Liquor would call him to eat hot pot again.
