Nine hundred and ninetieth chapters pull bolt grenade
Li Zhi looked at the rifle in his hand again and said: "Now that the accuracy of machine tools has improved, the next step is to develop metal-cased custom-loaded ammunition."
Cao Yu asked: "Your Majesty, what is a metal-cased fixed-loading ammunition?"
Li Zhi said: "The metal-cased fixed-loading ammunition is a rifle that combines a primer and a paper-cased bullet, and integrates these things into a metal-cased bullet. The metal-cased fixed-loading ammunition places the primer at the bottom of the bullet. When the soldier shoots, he only
You only need to place bullets in the gun, and there is no need to install a primer, and the rate of fire is faster."
When Cao Yu heard Li Zhi's words, he opened his mouth in surprise.
"Your Majesty, the paper shell bullets of this Jinwang rifle already fire extremely fast. If you omit the step of loading the primer, wouldn't it take three or four seconds to fire a shot?"
Li Zhi nodded.
Cao Yu thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, this is no longer necessary, right? The rate of fire of the Jinwang Style is unrivaled in the world. From north to south, no enemy can compete with the Jinwang Style!"
Hearing Cao Yu's words, Zhang Yu spat and said: "General Manager Cao, it's strange that you say this. Do you think the weapon is too powerful?"
Li Zhi frowned and said: "Who says we are invincible? As our territory grows larger and larger, our enemies are becoming more and more numerous. Without developing more powerful rifles, we simply cannot open up enough living space for the Han people!"
Seeing Li Zhi's unhappy expression, Cao Yu knew that he had said the wrong thing and said quickly: "Your Majesty is far-sighted and far-sighted, and my subordinates can't match it. I will organize people to set up a research team and prepare to trial-produce metal-cased custom-loaded ammunition!"
Li Zhi frowned and said: "Tonight I will draw the design of this new rifle, and you will come to the palace to get it tomorrow morning. This kind of metal-cased rifle has high requirements on production technology. You have to mobilize the most experienced craftsmen to form a task force.
Work out the production process as soon as possible.”
"When you encounter difficult problems that cannot be solved, come to me and I will see if I can help you find a solution."
Cao Yu quickly agreed.
Li Zhi asked again: "How is the production of pull-bolt grenades?"
Cao Yu lowered his head and cupped his hands and said, "Go back to your lord, mass production has begun."
Li Zhi's expression improved and he said, "Let's go and take a look."
Cao Yu quickly led the way and soon brought Li Zhi to the grenade assembly factory.
The factory uses assembly line operations, and the final grenades produced are packed in large wooden boxes.
Cao Yu took out a grenade and showed it to Li Zhi.
"Look, Your Majesty, this is the final product of the grenade we produced."
Li Zhi asked: "Which firing method was used?"
Cao Yu looked at Li Zhi's face and said: "Your Majesty, at the beginning we also wanted to use the firing pin and the spring to fire the primer as you said, so that the spring inside the grenade is always in a charged state.
Pulling the safety catch releases the spring, and the primer can be fired. But later we found that our technology could not guarantee the safety of this firing method."
"The bumping back and forth during the transportation of the grenade may have shaken the spring open, and the grenade exploded on its own."
Li Zhi nodded when he heard Cao Yu's words.
The first safety-bolt grenade design that Li Zhi handed over to Cao Yu was the style of the American military grenade in the 21st century. However, Li Zhi actually only knew a rough principle and did not know much about the technical details of that kind of grenade. Cao Yu
It is normal for Yu to encounter problems in production according to Li Zhi's drawings.
Li Zhi asked: "Then you used the second method I mentioned?"
Cao Yu replied: "Yes, Your Majesty. We finally adopted the second method you mentioned, Your Majesty, and installed a pull bolt on the tail of the grenade. When the soldier uses the grenade, he pulls the pull bolt hard, which triggers the primer inside the grenade and ignites the fuse.
.This kind of design is safer and there is no risk of self-explosion during transportation."
Li Zhi nodded and said: "Technology does not matter whether it is good or bad, the key is applicability. It is a good thing that you can choose a reasonable production process."
Cao Yu was happy when he heard Li Zhi praising him. He quickly walked to the end of the production line, took out a box of grenades, and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to try using this grenade?"
Li Zhi nodded and said: "Go to the school field outside the factory to try it out! Ask Zheng Kaicheng and others to come and see it. From now on, it will be the standard weapon of our Tiger Army."
Li Zhi and Cao Yu walked outside the factory. After a while, Zhong Feng and Zheng Kaicheng came on horseback.
Everyone stood on the school field, thirty meters away from a trench.
Zhong Feng looked at the box of grenades, his eyes lit up, and said, "Your Majesty, do these grenades really explode on their own without the need for ignition?"
Li Zhi said with a smile: "You will know better if you blow one yourself and see?"
Zhong Feng laughed loudly and said, "Okay, let me give it a try."
He picked out the one that seemed to be the best made from the box and weighed it in his hand. Cao Yu quickly went up and told Zhong Feng how to use it.
Zhong Feng followed Cao Yu's instructions and pulled the bolt at the end of the grenade.
However, this pull bolt is not like using a torch to light the grenade fuse. The grenade has no reaction after the pull bolt triggers the primer. Zhong Feng looked at the grenade in his hand and was stunned for a moment, wondering whether he had triggered the grenade or not.
Cao Yu shouted loudly: "Throw it quickly!"
Zhong Feng woke up as if from a dream, suddenly waved his hand, and threw the grenade into the trench thirty meters away. He only heard a bang, and the grenade exploded as soon as it entered the trench, causing a huge shock wave spark in the trench.
.
Everyone looked at the smoke and dust caused by the explosion and admired it.
Zheng Kaicheng shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, after the grenade was ignited with a pull bolt, the range of application has been greatly improved. In the past, we only used grenades during sieges and behind tanks according to the battle plan with fire. In general marches, because
Not everyone has a torch, and the soldiers regard grenades as useless iron balls."
"But now with the pull-bolt point grenade, our soldiers can use the grenade at any time during an encounter."
Zhong Feng picked up another grenade, pulled it sharply, and threw it out again.
This time Zhong Feng failed to throw the grenade accurately, and the grenade did not enter the trench. The grenade exploded on the ground thirty meters away.
The flames struck, and the smoke and dust emitted by the shock wave covered an area of more than two meters.
Zhong Feng laughed loudly and said: "Your Majesty, this grenade is really different now. This is a real grenade!"
With a wave of his hand, Zhong Feng said: "Whether it is in trench warfare or in street fighting in the city, this grenade with improved ignition method is a weapon to kill the enemy!"
Li Zhi nodded and said: "Seize the time to start mass production of these grenades and equip our more than 200,000 soldiers with three new grenades."
