This set of machine made of bullets had a steam power system.
It could play a huge role in compressing raw materials and quickly change the shape of the raw materials.
Especially the secondary bullet shells picked up on the battlefield. They were directly pressed into standard bullet shells, which were very beautiful.
If the raw materials were sufficient, brass and aluminum could be directly cast into a typographic shell.
Lu Chen removed a bullet and loaded it with the usual black gunpowder. He aimed it at a stone wall and tested it.
Loaded and fired!
"Bang!"
Test launch successful!
Other than the fact that it was slightly weaker, it was no problem for him to shoot.
In order to ensure that he was ready for the experiment, Lu Chen tested dozens of bullets.
Loaded, aimed, tested…
After testing, he was sure that the bullet could be used for shooting, but it was a little less powerful.
"It seems that the gunpowder in the bullets is a problem.”
"The raw materials are also a problem.”
The production of bullets was not just about producing a standard bullet shell. It also required gunpowder with sufficient power to be loaded into the bullet.
Simply loading black gunpowder was a common secondary processing method used by the militia. The bullets produced were also of the lowest quality.
The production of this kind of bullet could only be considered to have effectively utilized half of the bullet production line. It was only the standardized production of the outer shell and efficient production.
He had avoided the problem of the shell being stuck, but he still hadn't solved the core problem of gunpowder.
The gunpowder in bullets was generally called black gunpowder, but in fact, no matter how general the gunpowder was, it needed to be roughly divided into a base fire and a firing fire.
The base fire was at the bottom of the bullet. When the trigger was pulled, it would ignite and then drive the solid pellet fire.
The projectile fire had a huge impact force, causing the bullet to burst out in the barrel, forming a lethal force.
It was easy to obtain the primer. Not only could it be replaced by the gunpowder in the firecrackers, but it could also be replaced by smokeless gunpowder.
The key difficulty was to obtain the launcher.
This was the decisive factor in determining the power of a bullet.
The gunpowder produced by the militia was a simplified version of the gunpowder produced by the border area. The border area produced gunpowder that was specially brought back from the national army's arsenal.
Lu Chen had to figure out the main components of this thing. Otherwise, it would be a headache if he didn't know what ingredients to put in the machine.
Therefore, Lu Chen decided to personally make a trip to the border.
Border manufacturing, as the name implied, was a border manufacturing area.
He was in charge of the production and supply of ammunition for the various armed forces, as well as the daily maintenance of firearms and items.
It was divided into two major departments.
One was the production department responsible for logistics, providing grenades, secondary ammunition, and firearm maintenance. The production department was also the main body of the logistics department, and the head of the department was Zhang Wanhe.
The other was the factory manager who was responsible for weaving cotton quilts for the soldiers. The current factory manager was Li Yunlong!
The border area usually had more dealings with the main forces of the Eighth Route Army, and the militia rarely came to the border area.
Therefore, Lu Chen naturally did not come to the border manufacturing area to learn bullet materials. Instead, he came to see the name of his former leader.
This time, Lu Chen specially prepared roast chicken and Fen wine.
"Kaboom, kaboom…"
It was built in the border area. There were only a few short houses. The logistics production department was on one side, and the bedding factory was on the other.
At this moment, in the clothing factory, Li Yunlong was stepping on the machine and weaving quilts with the soldiers at the front line.
He was doing his work seriously, and there was no light in his eyes. He was like a child who was extremely unwilling to go to school and was " imprisoned " at school.
There was an indescribable grievance.
It was too torturous for a general who was born to fight to weave quilts in the rear.
Li Yunlong had been staying in the clothing factory for more than two months. He had been with a group of old ladies all day long. He was about to go crazy.
"Manager Li, someone is looking for you outside!”
At this moment, a young soldier wearing a military cap ran in from outside and reported to Li Yunlong.
As the machine inside was too loud, Li Yunlong let out a loud "ah".
The little warrior shouted a few times but did not hear him clearly. Li Yunlong simply leaned forward.
Only then did he hear the contents of the little warrior's report clearly.
Li Yunlong's eyes lit up when he heard the contents of the report. He immediately put down the 'tools' in his hand and left the factory.
As soon as he stepped out, he saw Lu Chen who was not far away. Then, he laughed heartily and said,"Good boy, hehehe."
Lu Chen smiled as well. He raised the roast chicken and Fen wine in his hand." Leader, long time no see!”
Half an hour later, the two of them sat in Li Yunlong's room, drinking wine and eating meat.
Li Yunlong had a stomach full of grievances to vent.
In the past, there was no one to talk to. Now that Lu Chen was here, Li Yunlong seemed to have found a soulmate and started complaining.
"Tell me, why don't you give me a reason? This Bureau Chief dismissed me without distinguishing right from wrong. He didn't go to Yu Family Ridge to break out of the encirclement. So what if we break out from the front? He made me stay in the clothing factory for more than two months.”
"When can I go to the battlefield to fight? Making me weave quilts is forcing Zhang Fei to embroider.”
"Sigh, let's not talk about it anymore. It's really f * cking unlucky.”
After a round of complaints, Li Yunlong knew that Lu Chen had come to see him today and couldn't just listen to his complaints.
Hence, he smiled and revealed a classic smile.
"Hehehe, Lu Chen, I didn't dote on you for nothing. There are so many people in the new group, but you're the only one who knows how to come and see me.”
"You even brought my favorite roast duck and Fen wine. I'm so happy.”
"I haven't been so carefree in a long time. Come, let's drink!”
Li Yunlong filled Lu Chen's glass to the brim and then filled his own.
The two of them drank and talked. Today was probably the happiest day Li Yunlong had been in the clothing factory.
Li Yunlong felt that there was nothing much to say about the clothing factory.
He kept asking about Lu Chen's recent situation. Lu Chen told Li Yunlong about him joining the militia.
When Li Yunlong heard this, he was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up.
" What?!"
"Ding Wei asked you to join the militia? What could he do if he went to the militia brigade? He had no guns and no supplies.”
"There are a bunch of poor men in the mountains. You are a 'talented' person with good skills. Ding Wei must be blind to let you go to that kind of place.”
