"This kind of thing is called a snowboard. You step on the buckles with your feet and only use two poles to walk on the snow flat."
"This is a specially thickened cotton jacket with fur sewn into the lining. It is airtight and watertight, and has a better cold-proof effect."
"These are velvet underwear. Wear them under cotton pants. They are very close-fitting. You no longer have to worry about freezing your legs."
"This is a new style lunch box. It is tin-plated and will not rust. It can be used all the time."
"This is a cotton hat. The ears on the side can be lowered and tied at the chin to cover the face and prevent frostbite."
Huang Sanhu and Fu Gang were both dumbfounded as they brought out good things one by one.
No wonder their response was so late. It turns out that the logistics department has prepared so many good things.
The thing that shocked them the most was the new bullet.
Although it is still a Mini warhead, the paper cartridge case has been eliminated. Behind the warhead, there is a small round iron tube inlaid with the warhead.
When using it, you only need to pull out the warhead and pour the gunpowder in the iron tube into the barrel.
There is an obvious convergence at the connection between this small iron tube and the bullet, and the caliber is much smaller than the barrel, making it very convenient to load gunpowder into the barrel.
"Frontline troops generally responded that when paper cartridges are loaded, they are easily blown away in strong winds. As a result, the amount of charge will be insufficient, which will have a great impact on the range and power."
"After receiving the feedback, our equipment department organized craftsmen to conduct detailed research. We drew on the principles of infantry artillery shells to create this iron bullet shell. The gunpowder in each shell is custom-packed, and
It is easier to separate the iron cartridge case and the bullet than the paper cartridge case. Because the front end is gathered, the cartridge case can be directly inserted into the barrel, avoiding the inconvenience of operating in wind or rain. "
In the bullet factory, Zuo Dai walked with Zuo Mengeng and introduced him to the new bullets.
Today's bullet factories have completely bid farewell to the purely manual style of the past.
Especially for the production of Mini warheads, mechanized production lines have emerged.
Zuo Mengeng saw the newly smelted lead being placed on the conveyor belt and sent all the way to two rollers that were rotating up and down.
After this extrusion, the lead block becomes a thin lead plate when it comes out.
The lead plate passes through a slightly inclined conveyor belt and is transported to the next process, where five cutting knives stand side by side. After the lead plate passes, it turns into a lead bar about two fingers wide.
To the front, there is a very thick large iron block.
There is a round hole as thick as a thumb in the middle of the iron block, and the lead bar is squeezed in hard, and when it comes out from one end, it becomes a round lead bar with the same diameter as the barrel.
Although Zuo Mengeng doesn't understand industry, he also understands that today's craftsmen have realized the cross-rolling method and the extrusion method. This has made the production of bullets free of manpower to a great extent, and the production efficiency has been greatly enhanced.
The extruded lead bars are transported forward again.
Directly ahead there was a knife that rose and fell at a high speed, so fast that it was almost invisible to the naked eye.
Every time the knife fell, it accurately cut the lead bar into a cylinder the size of a finger.
Zuo Mengeng deliberately walked to the side to observe carefully.
Only then did I discover that there was a long water tank on the side of the machine.
The water in the reservoir outside is transported to a high place and then pours down the flume. The drop from high to low greatly increases the speed of the water flow.
When we arrived here, the turbine in the tank began to rotate rapidly under the impact of the water flow.
After the gear coaxial with the turbine rotates, it drives a large number of gears of different sizes to rotate in conjunction.
Through the different speeds of the large and small gears, the blades are finally able to perform work at the same frequency, and each lead block is cut to the same size.
After this process, a few workers appeared.
They quickly picked up the lead blocks on the plate and placed them on the conveyor belt at the other end.
This conveyor belt is full of long iron blocks, each of which has five grooves with the same diameter as the lead block.
All the workers have to do is place the lead mass in the groove.
After the iron block was moved to a fixed position in front, five iron pillars with sharp arc-shaped front ends fell quickly and hit the lead block.
After this process, the lead block changed from a cylinder to a bullet shape with an internal depression and an arc at the front end.
The last process on the production line is to place the preliminarily formed warheads side by side on the upward iron pillars.
Further forward on the conveyor belt is an extremely thin steel plate that gradually tightens inward like the mouth of a river, with three layers at the top and bottom, arranged inside and outside.
Three layers of steel plates are stacked together, and the gap between each layer is not even one decimeter.
Therefore, the total thickness of the three-layer steel plate is only about 0.5 centimeters.
The distance between the inner and outer steel plates is slightly smaller than the diameter of the warhead, and the steel is harder than lead. Therefore, when the warhead is pushed in, the inner and outer steel plates work together to carve three grooves on the bottom of the warhead.
The most novel thing is that when the warhead enters this machine, it will continue to rotate on the cylinder.
In this way, as the conveyor belt continues to advance, the groove of the warhead will be completely cut by the steel plate, eventually forming a complete circle.
Zuo Mengeng squatted down and saw that there was a small gear on each cylinder below the machine.
These gears are connected to the bearings of the conveyor belt.
When the bearings rotate and push the conveyor belt forward, these gears will also drive each cylinder to rotate on its own, causing the warhead to be carved with grooves.
Gu Xuan
After these processes, a Mini warhead is initially formed.
The subsequent polishing, calibration and other processes have to rely on manpower.
Even so, today's warhead production efficiency is more than ten times faster than before.
As for the iron bullet casings shipped to Lushun, they were also produced in this factory.
After the red-hot molten iron comes out of the furnace, it is crushed by rollers on the conveyor belt and becomes thin iron sheets.
The subsequent cutting, rolling, shaping, and warhead production are all similar.
As for the tightening of the front of this iron cartridge case, the extrusion method is also used, and it can be formed in one go.
Finally, workers manually connect the warhead and cartridge case together, place them in ammunition boxes, and send them to the front line for use by soldiers.
"After this transformation, our factory can now produce 100,000 bullets every day. This is still because our machines are insufficient. When our production lines are expanded in the future, the output will be doubled."
Walking in the factory, you can hear the roar of machines.
Watching countless workers running back and forth, the sense of accomplishment of creating new things with the industrial wave made Zuo Mengeng feel relaxed and happy.
"Our strength has become stronger, so our hope of transforming the world will be greater. And all this is not only due to the soldiers on the front line, but also to those of you who are working in the rear. I will
I propose to the Administrative Committee to award all of you collective first-class merit."
Everyone in the factory felt happy when they heard Zuo Mengeng's praise.
This first-class merit is not just an honor, but there are also generous rewards behind it.
Workers here in Shandong are always very motivated, which is directly related to the value they create in exchange for corresponding returns.
In order to transform a society from agriculture to industrialization, it is through incentives such as this and that. The cumulative effect is gradually becoming a reality.
Zuo Mengeng seemed to have already seen the day when the brand new army under his command would sweep across the world.
However, Zuo Liangyu, who was far away in Zhangde Mansion, felt that the sky was falling.
Xie Wenju invited him to drink, which made him very happy.
The army general must have a good relationship with the eunuchs who supervise the army, so that they can work with each other and have a smooth life.
But when Zuo Liangyu came to Xie Wenju's house alone and saw the smiling Gao Qiqian and the eager swordsmen and axemen around him, he realized that this was the Hongmen Banquet.
"The general has always been loyal, striving to be the first, diligent in the king's affairs, and not daring to neglect. But I don't know what crime the general has committed, so why did the two masters of the Chinese army mobilize the troops like this?"
Gao Qiqian did not ask him to kneel down, but instead poured him a glass of wine.
"Zong Rong Zuo, you are here fighting for the country. Do you know that your backyard has caused a huge disaster?"
Zuo Liangyu's heart felt relaxed and tense.
It turns out it was not my fault...
So who could it be?
"Thank you, Zhongjun, for your testimony. The last general is in the army and has not returned home for a long time. I really don't know who caused the big disaster? I would like to ask the two lords of the Zhongjun to clarify."
The high rise and dive lengthens the tone.
"Zongrong Zuo, your precious son doesn't take you seriously! Do you know that your son has second thoughts and is preparing to rebel?"
Zuo Liangyu immediately trembled and dropped his wine glass to the ground.
"This...this...this...are there any misunderstandings between the two officers of the Chinese Army? Or are there some rumors? There must be some discrepancy in this."
Zuo Menggeng disobeyed his order and blocked the marriage.
Although Zuo Liangyu was furious and wanted to go back to punish him, after all, he was his son, and his bones and tendons were broken.
Besides, rebellion is no joke.
Which of the rebels in history was not implicated in the nine tribes and wiped out in ashes?
Zuo Liangyu did not live enough.
He has finally managed to get into the position of commander-in-chief and has amassed a lot of wealth. He also wants to go further and feels that endless glory and wealth will be waiting for him in the future.
"That little beast must be ignorant of the importance of the situation, or he may have listened to other people's slander. I would also like to ask the two officers of the Central Army for permission. The general will return to Linqing immediately. I will tell him to realize his return and start a new life."
"Hahahahaha..."
Gao Qiqian laughed so hard that tears came out.
"Zong Rong Zuo, what your son has done, but our family went to Linqing in person and saw it with our own eyes, how can it be false? I'm afraid you don't know, but your son now has tens of thousands of elite troops and a complete range of guns. With one order, the entire
Shandong is shaking three times."
He looked over suspiciously.
"The most elite Guan Ning army in the imperial court was defeated at the hands of the Dongjiang rebels, but now your son has beaten the Dongjiang rebels to the sky and the earth, and has no place to be ashamed of. He, I am afraid that there is no imperial court in his eyes now."
Zuo Liangyu was shaking like chaff and realized that something serious had happened.
Now Gao Qiqian and Xie Wenju are watching eagerly from the side, and the weapons of the swordsmen and axemen are cold and gleaming. What's more terrible is that the glory and wealth that they have been aiming for seems to be disappearing.
