"Didn't I go to the border hospital before? No, I brought you the root you always wanted to see." Mr. Liu said with a smile.
Director Cheng's eyes fell on Liu Gen, and there was obvious joy on his face. He knew what Mr. Liu did at the border hospital. When Mr. Liu came back last night, he did not reveal any news. He thought that Mr. Liu had not
Can Liu Gen be brought back? Now it seems that Mr. Liu is indeed Mr. Liu! He actually succeeded in bringing back Liu Gen, a genius!
"Hello, Director Cheng!"
"Liu Gen, captain of the artillery team of the 386th Brigade Headquarters of the 129th Division, is here to report!" Liu Gen saluted with a serious expression!
Director Cheng stretched out his hand and looked at Liu Gen with some excitement. After holding Liu Gen's hand firmly, he said: "Captain Liu, you finally came to our arsenal. The 60mm mortar gun paper you took out before
But it has helped our arsenal a lot! The arsenal has always wanted to build mortars, but has never been able to seize the relevant blueprints from the Japanese."
"The 60mm mortar you took out is quite mature, and it saved the arsenal a lot of time. Logically speaking, your contribution in taking out the mortar gun paper should be praised by the whole army. But you also know how our arsenal works.
The special nature makes it impossible to commend you throughout the army, but don't worry, I have already applied for credit to the headquarters for you, and it will be directly recorded in your file when the time comes."
"..."
Liu Gen felt the strength of Director Cheng's hold on his hand. He was a little surprised. He did not expect that Director Cheng would have such an attitude towards him. He was too enthusiastic. Liu Gen felt a little ashamed.
It seems that compared with the experts and workers in the arsenal, he has not done much.
"Okay, Xiao Cheng, please calm down. I brought Genzi to the arsenal. From now on, he will be a member of our arsenal."
"This time I personally went to find Genzi and saw another mortar gun paper designed by Genzi. It is very good. There are no problems with the data. It is very mature. I only need to make a few of them and test-fire them.
It can be put into production on a large scale. The mortar designed by Genzi this time is more suitable for use by our Eighth Route Army, and the cost will be much lower." Looking at the excited Director Cheng, Mr. Liu said helplessly.
Mr. Liu has always felt that Director Cheng is very stable and does a very good job in handling the daily affairs of the arsenal. However, Director Cheng was a little too excited when he saw Liu Gen today. Mr. Liu didn't understand why Cheng
Liu Gen is good that the factory director would be so excited, but there is still a big gap between him and factory director Cheng.
Of course, Mr. Liu can be sure that with Mr. Liu's level of genius, he will definitely be able to grow up quickly in the future and become even more outstanding than Director Cheng.
"Has Captain Liu designed another mortar?" Director Cheng calmed down a little, and there was not much excitement on his face.
The arsenal has undergone some expansion, and now there are three to four thousand workers in the arsenal. However, because there are not enough lathes, most of the work of producing weapons and ammunition still requires workers to polish it by hand. Before, Liu
The 60mm mortar gun paper that I took out was carefully studied and tested at the arsenal, and it was found to be quite good. Therefore, the arsenal deployed a lot of workers to manufacture and produce 60mm mortars.
However, even if the arsenal allocates many workers to produce 60mm mortars, the output is not large, and it can only produce less than ten mortars per month. It is good that Liu Gen has designed a mortar again, but the arsenal has
It is impossible to mobilize too many workers. In addition, with the 60mm mortar, unless it is a larger caliber mortar, there is no need to produce it.
Before Liu Gen took out the 60mm mortar, the arsenal had tried to produce 50mm mortars. Of course, the Japanese grenade was used as a reference, but after seeing the 60mm mortar that Liu Gen took out,
Later, the arsenal's focus was on the production and manufacturing of 60mm mortars.
"Mr. Liu, you also know the situation in the arsenal. In order to produce 60mm mortars, we have deployed a lot of workers. I'm afraid we can't spare too many people to invest in the production of new mortars." After a moment of silence, Director Cheng still said
He spoke.
Mr. Liu nodded, his expression not changing much. He also worked in the arsenal on weekdays, so he naturally knew the situation in the arsenal.
"Xiao Cheng, I understand your concerns. Don't worry. The 82mm mortar we designed this time is an 82mm mortar. Once it can be mass-produced, it will further supplement and improve our army's firepower." Mr. Liu
Said with a smile.
Suddenly, Director Cheng was stunned. He thought Liu Gen had designed a new 60mm mortar again. After all, Liu Gen had experience in designing 60mm mortars before and wanted to redesign it again.
It would undoubtedly be quite easy to produce a 60mm mortar. Now when I heard from Mr. Liu that Liu Gen designed an 82mm caliber mortar, he was quite surprised.
Designing a mortar is not that simple. It is easy to draw relevant drawings. The difficulty lies in the relevant data. Without accurate data, the designed mortar is prone to various problems.
Liu Gen on the side watched the conversation between Mr. Liu and Director Cheng, but he didn't have many ideas. It would be good to bring out the 82mm caliber mortar. In the process of drawing it, he also completely absorbed it.
The knowledge and technology required. Now even if Liu Gen is asked to redesign an 82mm mortar, there is no problem. But even if Liu Gen can redesign an 82mm mortar, he will not do it.
After taking out the drawing of the 82mm caliber mortar, Liu Gen was not going to waste too much energy on this mortar. He only needed to leave everything to the relevant personnel of the arsenal. Liu Gen believed that with their
With the technology, there will definitely not be any problems. Instead of focusing on the 82mm mortar, it is better to focus on the gunpowder.
Due to the insufficient power of the gunpowder used in the arsenal, the reloaded bullets and grenades produced by the arsenal are not very powerful. In Liu Gen's view, what the arsenal needs most is to update its gunpowder technology instead of continuing to use old-fashioned black
gunpowder.
It was a helpless move for the arsenal to use old-fashioned black powder. The Eighth Route Army did not have many gunpowder talents, and the base areas did not have enough technical reserves to manufacture more powerful gunpowder.
Of course, according to Liu Gen's understanding, various departments of the Eighth Route Army have tried to improve gunpowder and achieved many results. Among them, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Industry Department was able to produce sulfuric acid on a large scale in 40 years, and sulfuric acid is used to make smokeless gunpowder.
and the basis of advanced explosives such as nitroglycerin!
In terms of gunpowder research, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Industry Department is undoubtedly at the forefront of the Eighth Route Army.
"Genzi, do you have a drawing of a mortar? Let me see." Director Cheng looked at Liu Gen and asked expectantly.
Liu Gen shook his head. The drawings were not with him. In order to ensure that there would be no problems with the drawings, Mr. Liu placed the drawings next to him.
Seeing Liu Gen shaking his head, Director Cheng was a little disappointed. He really wanted to see how the 82mm caliber mortar designed by Liu Gen looked like!
"Xiao Cheng, I have the drawings here, please take a look." Mr. Liu said with a smile.
