At the ground shooting range of the arsenal, Xu Rui was test-firing the pistol silencer that Zheng Jiakang had just processed.
This pistol silencer was processed by Zheng Jiakang based on the drawings designed by Xu Rui. The main structure is a hollow steel tube. A large number of small holes with a diameter of one millimeter are drilled on the surface. Inside the steel tube, twelve steel sheets with a thickness of one millimeter are embedded.
The entire steel pipe is divided into eleven anechoic chambers, with holes drilled in the middle of each steel piece for bullets to pass through.
Seeing Zheng Jiakang fixing the processed silencer to the barrel of the Browning pistol through internal threads, David, who followed to watch the fun, couldn't help but said: "I have seen pistols with silencers installed before, but they are just
This is the first time I have seen a muffler that is fixed and individually connected through internal and external threads. It is really an amazing invention."
Xu Rui knew that mufflers had appeared in this era, but he did not know that removable mufflers had not yet appeared. He then asked David: "David, are you sure there is no such removable muffler in the West?"
"Sure." David said with great certainty, "I'm sure there is no such silencer in the West."
Xu Rui said: "Does this mean that I can apply for a patent in the West for this invention?"
"Of course." David nodded and said, "But I can only apply for a U.S. patent on your behalf."
"It's enough to apply for a U.S. patent." Xu Rui was overjoyed when he heard this. He seemed to see two hens that could lay golden eggs waving to him. The patents for pistols and rifle silencers were not valuable, but the other two he knew about
There is no black military technology in this era, but it will definitely sell for a big price!
One of the two black military technologies is the rocket launcher. We must hurry up on this, because judging from the time, the US military will have a rocket launcher in two or three years. If nothing else, there must be people researching it now, and we must seize the lead in scientific research in the United States.
The organization had snatched this patent before, and then it could wait to collect the money.
The other is a concave-bottomed projectile. This does not have much technical content. Just adding a concave mechanism to the bottom of the projectile can increase the range of the projectile by more than 20%!
For example, the 150-caliber heavy howitzer deployed by the Independent Regiment in Shaqiaogang Fortress has a range of 12 kilometers. However, if it uses concave bottom bullets, the range can be increased to nearly 17 kilometers, and its effective range has been increased by nearly 5 kilometers. Do not
If you underestimate the five-kilometer range difference, on the battlefield, it means that you can hit others, but others cannot hit you.
At this moment, Xu Rui seemed to see countless green dollar bills raining down from the sky and falling on his head.
Zheng Jiakang shouted several times before finally bringing Xu Rui's thoughts back to reality and asked: "Captain, do you still want to try?"
"Try, of course I have to try." Xu Rui woke up from his dream, quickly took the Browning pistol that had been connected to the silencer from Zheng Jiakang, and then fired two shots at the target in front, and the shooting range immediately
There were two dull popping sounds, which Xu Rui, David and Zheng Jiakang who were nearby could hear clearly.
The noise reduction effect was a little worse than Xu Rui expected.
But this is reasonable. Firstly, the processing methods of this era cannot be compared with the original time and space. Secondly, this is Zheng Jiakang's first time. The processing accuracy has not reached the optimal level. I believe that as long as Zheng Jiakang is given a little more time,
, the effect of the muffler produced in the future will become better, and it will basically meet the requirements.
At that moment, Xu Rui handed the pistol with a silencer back to Zheng Jiakang and said: "Old Zheng, just follow this structure and produce a hundred guns first, fifty pistols and rifles each, and the three-sided military spurs I gave you.
When can the drawings and samples be produced?”
As a People's Liberation Army soldier who traveled from later generations, Xu Rui can be said to have a special liking for the fifth and sixth-style three-sided military spurs. However, Xu Rui drew the pattern of the fifth- and sixth-style three-sided military spikes and handed it over to Zheng Jiakang for processing.
Due to emotional factors, but due to the limited processing capacity of Dameishan Arsenal, the three-sided military spurs are easy to process and powerful.
"That's easy." Zheng Jiakang nodded and said, "You can come over and look at the samples tomorrow."
"Then hurry up." Xu Rui warned Zheng Jiakang, and then grabbed David.
"David, I need you to go back to the United States immediately and help me apply for three military patents." Xu Rui pulled David and said, "The first one you saw just now is a silencer for a pistol and rifle. I will give you the other two.
After the drawings and patent applications are obtained, you can find manufacturers in the United States to process them on your behalf. I can tell you responsibly that the prospects for these two pieces of equipment are very broad. The US military and even the British army will most likely purchase them in large quantities, and then you can just sit back and collect them.
Money."
"I'm very happy to serve you." David shrugged and added, "However, the fees for applying for a patent, OEM fees, lobbying the military procurement department and my traveling to and from the United States all have to be borne by you, because
You know, I have resigned from the Associated Press and am now a pure arms dealer."
"No problem, I'll give you gold." Xu Rui agreed immediately.
Now the three of them returned to the drawing room of the arsenal. Xu Rui provided ideas and Zheng Jiakang was responsible for the drawing. It took almost six hours until about four o'clock the next morning to finally draw the processing drawings of the rocket launcher.
Looking at the accuracy requirements marked on the drawing, Zheng Jiakang said: "We can also produce this thing."
Xu Rui said: "This thing has higher quality requirements for the barrel, so let's forget about it."
Xu Rui is not very enthusiastic about homemade rocket launchers. The main reason is that there is no steel factory in the Dameishan base area, and there is no steel rolling production line for once-formed steel pipes. Even if it is put into production, the output will not be high, and the lethality will be weak.
If a little devil were to capture one on the battlefield, the trouble would be big.
Japan's industrial manufacturing capabilities are much stronger than those of China.
If Japan gets a sample, it can be mass-produced in a short time.
By then, the Chinese and the U.S. military will suffer a lot after the Pacific War breaks out, so now it is better to apply for a patent in the United States and make a lot of money first. After making enough money, the United States and Japan will go to war.
, it will not be too late to put it into mass production at the Dameishan Arsenal.
Anyway, the Japs have very few armored vehicles, and rocket launchers are not the most urgently needed weapons.
After drawing the machining drawings of the rocket launcher, there was no need to draw any more drawings for the concave bottom bomb. David himself was also a weapons enthusiast. Xu Rui just explained the concept, and David immediately understood. The remaining things are
Return to the United States to find an arsenal for OEM production, then apply for a patent with the sample, and then lobby the procurement authorities.
These were all David's affairs. As soon as it got dark, Xu Rui took David to the logistics department and withdrew 600 taels of gold from Xiao Yanyue. The 600 taels of gold were worth more than 20,000 US dollars. This was absolutely worth it at the time.
It was a huge sum of money, and David was a little nervous holding the suitcase used to hold the gold.
Xu Rui said: "David, the funds should be enough, right?"
"That's enough." David said honestly, "It doesn't actually take that much."
"If you are a poor family and want to be rich, you should bring more." Xu Rui said, "If you still have extra money after finishing things, you might as well purchase some useful machinery and equipment for us. You know, our Dameishan Arsenal
It is still very weak, and the products it can process are also very single, so it is in urgent need of various types of processing equipment.”
"No problem." David agreed, "I will definitely try my best."
"Without further delay, you should leave for the United States as soon as possible." Xu Rui said again.
David said: "I went back to the dormitory to pack up, and set off for Hankou this morning, and then took the American and British Tobacco Company's transport ship from Hankou to Shanghai."
Xu Rui smiled and said: "Then I wish you a safe journey and take care."
"Take care, too." After David said this, he stepped forward and hugged Xu Rui vigorously.
As soon as David was sent away, Wang Husheng came over and complained from a distance: "Old Xu, where have you been hiding this night? I've looked everywhere for you and can't find you. It's true."
Xu Rui smiled and said, "Hey, isn't this Commander Wang? You have something to do with me?"
"Well, well, what kind of commander?" Wang Husheng said angrily, "Who is the commander?"
Xu Rui smiled and said: "The Dameishan Military Division has been officially established. Aren't you the commander?"
Wang Husheng said: "Come on, don't treat me like this. It's not like you don't know what's going on. I'm a weak commander, and sooner or later I'll have to be your leader."
Xu Rui did not deny it and said calmly: "What do you want from me?"
Wang Husheng said: "Hasn't the Dameishan Military Division been established? Shouldn't the troop structure of our division also be changed? It's not a big deal for one regiment to drag more than ten or twenty battalions under it. You think so?
Bar?"
Xu Rui stretched his body and said calmly: "What do you think about this?"
Wang Husheng said: "Otherwise, how about forming three regiments? Two main regiments plus one guard regiment. Three main battalions plus 18 reserve battalions were reduced to 12 infantry battalions, and they were divided into two main regiments and guard regiments."
The organization of the regiment is that the fortress artillery independent brigade is attached to the garrison regiment, guard battalion, independent battalion, cavalry battalion, engineer battalion, and the Wolf Fang is a team directly under the military region."
Xu Rui said: "Commander Wang, you have already thought about it, why are you asking me what to do?"
"Old Xu!" Wang Husheng was really unhappy now and said, "I am here to ask you sincerely."
Xu Rui snorted softly and said: "There are two main regiments missing, there are too few pits, and there is not enough carrots to share. Let's form three main regiments and a guard regiment. The independent fortress artillery brigade should not be assigned to guards.
When the time comes, the leaders of several main groups will have to come to me again, which will be annoying."
Wang Husheng said: "Okay, as you said, who will be the leader?"
