Chapter 64: Intelligence from Yamamoto's Special Forces
For example, he used to think that gun barrels were the most difficult to process.
But now, he knew that bullets were also difficult.
According to the memory given by the system, a bullet has at least 80 or 90 processes. Even crazier, if it is to be broken down, it has at least more than a hundred processes.
Whether it is the production of warheads, the production of primers, or the process of installing primers.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just take a bullet as an example, do you know how many steps are involved?
You have to produce the bullet shell, which is professionally called the jacket, and you have to produce the copper core or steel core. If it is a pistol bullet, you also have to produce the lead core.
If it is a rifle armor-piercing bullet, you have to put a lead sheath inside the copper shell, and then put a steel core inside the lead sheath.
If it is a bullet with a steel-lead composite core, it is even more complicated and most factories cannot make it.
You have to make a bullet shell first, then install a steel core inside the bullet shell, and then install some lead core behind the steel core.
If it is a tracer bullet for machine guns, it will be even more fun. You must first know how to make tracer, and then you can start making it. Put the lead core in the bullet shell, and put the tracer behind the lead core.
There are also various kinds of warheads, such as armor-piercing incendiary warheads and instantaneous explosive warheads. The information of these warheads that have demonstrated their lethality on the European battlefield appeared in Chen Xiao's mind.
Master level!
It turns out this is what being a master level means: to understand the matters of your profession clearly, and then be able to apply them to other areas, and also have other knowledge to refer to.
For example, now he is looking for the bullet production technology for the Czech machine gun, and a bunch of bullet production technologies appear in his mind.
Of course, the information on the Czech light machine gun's 7.92×57mm caliber bullet is still placed first.
The Czech light machine gun, like the Zhongzheng rifle, uses heavy pointed bullets. This type of bullet can shoot far, accurately and does not drift, but its disadvantage is that the initial velocity is not as high as that of light pointed bullets.
It is well known that bullet shells are difficult to deal with, but I didn't expect that propellant is also difficult to deal with.
Before I traveled through time, I watched TV and movies where someone was injured and they would pull out the bullet and pour out the powder inside the bullet and put a little on the wound... sizzle...
The taste is absolutely sour and refreshing!
But what is the reality?
After crossing over to this world, Chen Xiao has been shooting with a gun and has never pulled out a bullet to study it.
He now realized that fairy tales were all lies... No, that's wrong, everything on TV was a lie.
There is no powder in the bullet, only small hard particles. Yes, hard!
This thing is not powdered black medicine, but nitrocellulose that is pressed into strips, cut into blocks, and cut into small particles.
That’s why Chen Xiao felt that his world view was a little shattered. It turned out that all the movies he saw when he was a kid, such as Brother Xiao Ma, First Blood, and some heroic characters pouring out the powder from bullets to heal wounds, were they all fake?
So, the making of involves too many processes. If you want to make propellant, you have to get nitric acid and sulfuric acid first.
There are still many tools and raw materials required to produce nitrocellulose for bullet propellants.
In short, the complexity of producing a bullet is a headache.
However, after two days of preparation, Chen Xiao finally produced the first bullet. With the first one, the rest will be quick.
"Ding!"
“Congratulations on completing the mission: obtaining the Czech light machine gun and the Zhongzheng rifle production line and putting them into production.
The mission reward has been sent to the inventory."
Oh no!
This is not just one book, but five large volumes stacked together and stored in a grid in Chen Xiao's inventory. These are master-level production process skill books on how to use the machine tools currently available to make the latest German machine tool mother bed.
There is another reward, not a map, but a book. Yes! A big book.
After all, a large atlas introduces the resource distribution map of all mineral deposits in the entire Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia region. It cannot be just a map, so of course it is also a thick book.
But how to get this thing out is a problem.
Suddenly, the warning device set up by Chen Xiao was triggered.
He knew that either the monk had brought people back, or the Japanese had found this place.
After all, these days, he stole cement, sand, gravel, coking coal, iron, and all kinds of materials he could steal.
He even tried to sneak into the Taiyuan Arsenal, but was almost discovered. After all, the security there was too tight and it was difficult to get in.
But he was sure that the Japanese would not be able to touch this place, after all, all traces had been cleaned up.
Then the ones coming must be the monks.
However, to be cautious, he picked up a Czech light machine gun to try out the new one.
After going outside, I looked through the wall with a teaching eye and found that the leader was indeed Monk Wei.
There were more than a hundred people following behind, more than a hundred people?
How did they get through the Japanese checkpoints?
However, it is possible to pass it quietly in batches.
Seeing that he was not an enemy, Chen Xiao walked out confidently.
"Principal!" Monk Wei shouted happily.
"Yeah!" Chen Xiao nodded, but his sharp eyes swept around: "Fang Dafu, you 11 bastards, do you want me to personally catch you out?"
"Hehehe!" Laughing sheepishly, Fang Dafu led ten team members carrying submachine guns out one after another, laughing and saying, "I knew we couldn't hide from the principal's eyes."
After that, he led ten team members to salute Chen Xiao: "Hello, principal! Fang Dafu, deputy captain of the teaching team of Northwest Shanxi Scouting Agricultural Science School, leads the escort team to report to you!"
"Yeah!" Chen Xiao nodded and looked at the hundred or so people following the monk.
The most important one is the one wearing glasses among the 100 heads.
"Feng Lin, a technician at the Yixiantian Shuiyaozi Arsenal, is good at repairing guns and is proficient in making bullets and some rifle parts. He is also a good fitter and can understand blueprints."
"Liu He, Yixiantian , a skilled worker at the Shuiyaozi Arsenal, a junior fitter."
Among the hundred or so people, only two are skilled workers, but the rest are not perfunctory either. Most of them have skills, either bricklayers, blacksmiths, or carpenters.
However, Chen Xiao was already very satisfied. After all, at this time, the skilled workers in the hands of the Eighth Route Army were treasures. Being able to send a technician and a skilled worker was already very important.
After all, everything was unknown, and there was only a letter from him. Being able to show such high trust and send a technician, a skilled worker, and more than a hundred soldiers with skills and strong hands-on abilities was already a great support.
"Are these workers coming here to support from the New 1st Independent Regiment?" Chen Xiao asked knowingly.
The monk took out a booklet and said, "This is the list of all the personnel. These two are technical workers who came here to support the brigade."
…
At Yoshio Shinozuka's camp, Yamamoto Ikki was playing music with Yoshio Shinozuka.
"General! According to our intelligence, we have roughly obtained information about the enemy that ambushed our special forces last time and almost killed all of our special forces members..."
