Chapter 63: The Creation of an Arms Factory
Chen Xiao had no idea how Monk Wei had improved so quickly at the shooting training ground that he had surprised Li Yunlong and the others. Even if he had known, he would have just smiled it off.
Do you think this is his ability?
It's a ghost!
Chen Xiao is proficient in rifle shooting. He can shoot accurately at 300 meters, with nine or ten rings no problem. But he is far behind Zhao Gang in shooting 400 meters.
Rifle shooting is just proficiency, not mastery.
Therefore, it is not actually his own ability that makes Monk Wei good, but the teaching eye will evaluate Monk Wei during his training, find out his shortcomings, and provide suggestions for improvement.
All Chen Xiao has to do is train the monks one by one according to the evaluation and suggestions.
Sometimes a small change in the gun holding posture can bring unparalleled stability. To shoot, you must first keep your hands and body steady, then the gun can be steady.
Then, based on the students' habits, we increase their accuracy and reaction speed training, which are all special trainings tailored to each person.
Only in this way can the results improve so quickly. The first batch of fifty or so students have all been trained by Chen Xiao, and each of them has been given special guidance.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Liu Qiang saw that Wei Heshang had gone from hitting five or six rings on the target at a distance of 100 meters to hitting ten rings on the target at 200 meters, and had good results at 300 meters in such a short period of time.
Because they also improved so quickly in the beginning.
What Chen Xiao cares about now is not how the people in the school are training. He is now busy installing various equipment for the entire hydroelectric generator set.
You don’t know until you pretend, and you’ll be surprised when you do!
Such a small to medium-sized hydroelectric generator has so many things.
In addition to the most important vortex turbines and generators, there are also speed control equipment and exciters.
The vortex turbine converts the energy of water flow into mechanical energy, while the generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
The second is the speed regulating equipment, which keeps the turbine generator at a certain speed and makes the current have a fixed frequency.
Needless to say, the exciter excites the generator, allowing the generator to function more fully.
In addition, there are step-up and step-down equipment and power transmission and distribution equipment to change the voltage and transmit electrical energy to the outside.
Then he had to connect switches to each circuit. Fortunately, he had the operation memory and information provided by the system, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to do it.
Maybe the system evaluated his current situation and upgraded this set of hydroelectric generators, and it actually has a device that can invert it into three-phase electricity.
Because the small and medium-sized iron smelting furnaces that can melt tons of steel at a time use three-phase electricity.
Compared with the large steelmaking furnaces of later generations that often weigh 60 or 80 tons, this one is extremely delicate.
After the monk left, Chen Xiao was the only one left in the mine, which made his assembly work quite casual.
There is no need to worry that others will find him when he moves the machinery and equipment and puts them into the inventory when he is assembling them.
It is very convenient for him now. If he wants to assemble something, he just needs to put it into the inventory. The moment he takes it out, he can put it however he wants and put it in any posture he wants.
This was another way to use the inventory he accidentally discovered yesterday.
After discovering this method, he assembled the machine much faster.
In seven days, the vortex hydropower generator set was installed, and the concrete side diversion dam had hardened and was ready for use.
The cables of the installed small and medium-sized electric arc smelting furnaces have been connected to the three-phase electrical interface of the generator set.
This epoch-making vortex hydroelectric generator set, whose size completely exceeded the small standard, began to operate and the motor began to make noise .
After Chen Xiao checked the overcurrent frequency and found it met the needs of the iron-smelting furnace, he pushed the connecting switch to supply power to the arc iron-smelting furnace.
The smelting furnace contains pig iron and various additives that Chen Xiao had been running around to prepare these days, in order to produce steel bars suitable for drilling out gun barrels.
Let me explain here that the gun barrel is not cast, but is made from alloy high-carbon steel in a smelting furnace, then hammered to remove impurities, and then split into individual alloy high-carbon steel rods.
This is called a gun barrel blank. Then, this gun barrel blank is used to drill and cut into the shape of a gun barrel using the cold forging technique, and finally the rifling is manually drawn out using a machine.
The barrel is one of the most important parts of a gun. If you want to make a good barrel, the barrel blank is the most important. The quenching and tempering of the barrel blank are both very important.
From cutting the barrel, to the most difficult drilling, to rifling, every step is related to whether the barrel is up to standard.
Chen Xiao watched with satisfaction as the material in the molten iron furnace slowly turned into molten steel, which was then poured into a ladle and moved to another machine via a gantry crane.
Through steel rolling, machines hammer out impurities in the steel, and then the steel is split into steel bars of appropriate sizes. After quenching, cooling, and tempering, it becomes gun barrel blanks.
The requirements for gun barrels at that time were not as strict as they would be decades later, and there was no requirement for high-carbon steel such as 50b or 50ba, as long as it was not too bad.
But Chen Xiao has mastered the entire Czech light machine gun production skills and materials technology, and he is at the master level.
It is very simple to refine this batch of molten steel to achieve the steel hardness required for the barrel of the Czech light machine gun.
Two days later, there were more than sixty gun barrel blanks that had undergone various quenching and tempering processes.
Chen Xiao skillfully operates various machine tools to drill the barrel blanks out of the gun barrels, cut them to size, and finally pull out the rifling.
After going through several processes, more than sixty gun barrels were made, and not a single one failed.
There is also a handle on the barrel of the Czech light machine gun. The process is rather complicated. After it is installed, the gun can be assembled.
Originally, the largest hall-like area in the cave contained a lot of accessories. If there were enough gun barrels, 50 Czech light machine guns could be assembled.
Now, the barrel seems to be sufficient, but there is still no way to replace it, so it seems that it is still not enough.
Now that he has a gun, he needs bullets. Chen Xiao has a lot of bullets in his inventory, but his goal is to complete the task.
The condition for completing the task is to obtain the production lines and bullet production lines that can produce Czech light machine guns and put them into production.
He has now completed the production of the Czech light machine gun, but the production of bullets has not yet been completed.
People who have never played with a gun think that the bullet is a whole unit except for the warhead, but in fact, in addition to the warhead, the bullet also has a place for the primer, but that place can also be regarded as a whole with the bullet body.
Before obtaining the memory of the production of these firearms and bullets, Chen Xiao had no idea about the production of bullets.
But now that I understand it, I realize that what I knew was wrong.
for example……
