The arsenal was temporarily stationed. Wang Ping stayed with Li Xuebin and Zhou Wu as soon as he returned.
He had already promised Commander Nie that the first batch of reloaded bullets since the establishment of the arsenal would be produced in five days.
Commander Nie and the Chief of Staff also said that they would come in person when the time comes. Having said such big words, Wang Ping did not want to fall off the chain halfway.
"It's done!" Within two days, Huang Yu's excited voice sounded in Wang Ping's ears.
"Director of the factory, Professor Zhou has made the bullet primer, and the first batch of finished products weighs a full kilogram. We have done special experiments, and there is no problem at all!"
"Okay, now we just need a bullet reloading machine. Instructor Huang, tell Professor Zhou that if you have any requests, our arsenal will definitely satisfy them unconditionally. However, we hope that he can further simplify and improve the process of producing primers to achieve mass production.
standards.”
"Also, I promised to ask him for credit, and the results will be available in a few days!"
Li Xuebin also did not allow himself to produce it. Although he said that the bullet reloading machine would take five days, it actually only took four days.
Due to limited conditions, the reinstaller is not as automated as I imagined.
Loading primers and propellants all need to be done manually.
What the reloader needs to do is to perfectly combine the bullet head with the bullet case filled with primer and propellant.
But even so, Wang Ping was still very excited.
Because the emergence of reloading machines can not only improve the pass rate of reloading bullets, but more importantly, it can speed up the reloading speed of bullets.
Four or five technicians must load the primer and propellant into the bullet shell together to keep up with the speed of the reloading machine.
Seeing Wang Ping's eyes that couldn't put it down, Li Xuebin said immediately!
"Factory director, with the bullet stamping machine, this bullet reloading machine, several operating platforms and a dozen workers, we can build a semi-automatic bullet reloading production line. If production is carried out day and night, a
It can easily produce 450,000 rounds of ammunition per month."
"After I build another bullet stamping machine, the production line's production capacity can be increased to at least 800,000 rounds! The only thing I need to worry about is the raw materials. As long as the raw materials are sufficient, director, you can get me some more equipment. I will
If I build a semi-automatic bullet reloading production line for you, there will be no problem!"
"Set up the production line now!" Wang Ping blurted out.
"Our arsenal is created from scratch, and you don't even have to think about technicians. So, set up the production line first, select a few students and workers to be temporary technicians, and practice production tomorrow to practice, and then train skilled technicians.
Replace them and only take care of technical issues!"
"Also, Commander Nie will come to the arsenal the day after tomorrow to see us officially resume the production of bullets. Therefore, this semi-automatic production line must be adjusted as soon as tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, our arsenal will strive to hit the ground running and tell the chief that our arsenal has lived up to his high expectations!
"
Before the end of the third day, Commander Nie, the military region's chief of staff, rushed over with a platoon of guards.
It can be seen that Commander Nie wanted to witness this historic moment more than himself.
After rejecting Wang Ping's suggestion to eat first, Commander Nie gave the order directly.
"Go to the arsenal first. Didn't you say that the bullet reloading production line has been set up and is just waiting for production! We can't let our comrades wait for me alone!"
Because the underground workshop of the arsenal has not yet been built, the bullet reloading production line was temporarily installed in an ancestral hall.
The two pieces of equipment and operating platform are no more than ten meters long. More than a dozen people are sitting on the production line, with tools and raw materials placed conveniently.
"Professor Li, this is Commander Nie of our military region!" Wang Ping introduced to Li Xuebin as soon as he entered the ancestral hall.
Just as Li Xuebin was about to speak, Commander Nie had already held his hand in advance and said with excitement: "Professor Li, I heard Wang Ping mention you many times. Here, on behalf of the Eighth Route Army, I would like to express my gratitude to you and your classmates. No.
You guys, it’s impossible for this semi-automatic bullet reloading production line to appear!”
"Commander Nie is serious, Li just did his duty as a Chinese!" Li Xuebin replied modestly.
However, from the smile on his face, we can be sure that Commander Nie's recognition of him just now must have been very useful to him, otherwise he would not be so happy.
Commander Nie continued to praise without hesitation: "The word "duty" is used well. If every Chinese can do this, it will be impossible for the Japanese to kill all the way to the hinterland of China! Professor Li, everyone, please wait.
After waiting for so long, I must be anxious to start production and let me experience this historical moment!"
"Rumble..." Soon the diesel generator not far away began to operate. With electricity, the bullet stamping machine and the bullet reloading machine began to operate one after another.
Li Xuebin followed Commander Nie to the stamping machine and introduced: "Commander Nie, this is for stamping bullets. One person is responsible for the feeding port and the other is responsible for the discharging port. By the way, the unqualified bullets are sorted out!"
Seeing Commander Nie nodding with satisfaction, Li Xuebin pointed to the ten workers on the operating table and introduced them.
"The first two among them are responsible for cleaning the bullet casings, the four at the back are responsible for loading the primers into the bullet casings, and the four at the back are responsible for loading the propellant!"
"In order to ensure the qualification rate of the bullets and ensure that the propellant and primer are not too much or too little, we specially made some measuring tools for them."
“It’s very easy to use and almost error-free!”
While they were talking, several people had already walked to the last reinstaller.
"This is a reloading machine. Two people are responsible for the feeding port. One of them fixes the bullet head, and one person fixes the bullet case filled with propellant and primer. Then the reloading machine presses them together. The last person is responsible for the discharge port and checks
Every bullet that is reloaded is guaranteed to have a qualified rate, and the produced bullets are packed into boxes at the same time!"
While he was talking, the chief of staff next to him suddenly let out an exclamation.
"It's out, Commander, the first reloading bullet is out!"
After the last worker's inspection, Commander Nie hurriedly picked up the bullets as soon as they were delivered to the bullet box.
After reading it over and over again, he said with great satisfaction: "It's exactly the same as the 38-cap bullets captured by the Japanese, and they are both pointed bullets, with a long range and high lethality! I just don't know how effective they are!"
"It's definitely not bad?" Li Xuebin answered confidently.
"No matter the bullet, primer, or propellant, they are exactly the same as the bullets produced by the Japanese themselves!"
"Commander Nie, I suggest we wait here. After producing a hundred bullets, we can go directly outside to test the guns and check the qualification rate of the bullets!"
Wang Ping immediately added: "Chief, Professor Li's suggestion is very pertinent. I heard that your guards are all sharpshooters. Only by letting the sharpshooters use these bullets can you know the quality of these bullets!"
The excited Commander Nie agreed without thinking about it: "Okay, I will meet all your arsenal's requirements today!"
