The Red Star Firearms Manufacturing Company's arsenal was located in the northwest corner of the industrial park, near the Xipi River.
The reason why the arsenal was placed here was mainly because it was dangerous, so it was placed in the northwest corner!
There were many factories under the firearms manufacturing company. The production of pistols, grenades, and ammunition was a large factory with several workshops.
The production of rifles was another large factory and a series of workshops. The light machine guns, general-purpose machine guns, and heavy machine guns were also in another factory.
Rows of factories were arranged in the industrial park like a square. On the road between the factories, CCKW military trucks could be seen constantly running on the road. Some of them were pulling wood, some were pulling steel, and some were pulling dark green boxes. It was obvious that they were either weapons or ammunition.
Sitting in the back seat of the car, Han Bin looked at the production workshops on both sides of the road and fell into deep thought again.
He didn't know how much the arsenal produced per day, but he knew that it was already producing.
Now, he had to think about expanding the army. After the security division became an army, there would be about 18,000 people.
It was indeed a lot compared to Lu 'an in the past, but it was still too little compared to Lu' an now.
Lu 'an now had a population of 10 million and 18,000 people. Even with Han Bin's own security team, there were only 20,000 people.
To maintain the security of Lu 'an, especially the entire industrial park, 18,000 security guards were not enough.
"Looks like we need to add more security guards. Otherwise, the safety of the industrial park can't be guaranteed!”
Han Bin muttered to himself. He thought about it and decided to add nine more security guards. He would get a few more at once and get everything done in one go. Even if other places needed soldiers to protect them, he would have the strength in his hands. He would not be out of strength at the moment.
" County Head, we're here!"
Just as Han Bin was still thinking about something, Liu Yi's voice entered Han Bin's ears.
Gao Sheng, the general manager of the Red Star Firearms Manufacturing Company, was already waiting for him at the door.
"County Head, let's start with the bullet production workshop here!”
Gao Sheng didn't say any unnecessary words or exchange pleasantries. After all, they were clones. It wasn't realistic for them to exchange pleasantries first!
"Sure!" Han Bin nodded. You lead the way!"
Han Bin walked into the production workshop and saw rows of bullets being transported to the back of the conveyor belt. At the end of the conveyor belt, there were workers collecting the bullets.
"This is our first bullet production workshop. Other than this workshop, there are nine other bullet production workshops.
At present, our daily production of bullets is around a million rounds, but this data fluctuates greatly. Many workers have just started working and are not familiar with their own technology.
Sometimes, there would be cases of useless bombs, so the daily production was relatively low. In addition, some of the workers were still learning and working at the same time. It would be fine after they were familiar with it for a while. By then, the daily production of bullets should be able to exceed three million rounds!”
Gao Sheng said in a formal manner. Han Bin only nodded. He was not satisfied with the production.
One should not think that a million rounds per day was a lot. An infantry division needed more than a million rounds for a drill. But in reality, would there be only one infantry division in such a drill?
In reality, many infantry divisions worked together. If it was a real battlefield, an infantry division would consume more than a million rounds of ammunition a day.
In this era, the production of a million bullets a day was indeed very large. For example, the Hanyang Munitions Factory produced only 200,000 bullets a day at its peak.
But you have to know that the Hanyang Munitions Factory needs steel, and the production is insufficient!
There were only a few people in the arsenal. There were only about 20 so-called engineers in the arsenal, and all of them were foreigners.
As far as Han Bin knew, those 20 foreigners were not engineers. They were just foreigners who had gone to university. They could not survive in their own country, so they came to the East. Otherwise, if they were real engineers, they would not have come all the way to the East.
Machinery and equipment were still insufficient! If he wanted to buy machinery and equipment from overseas, he would not have enough money. On the other hand, other people would not sell them.
It could be said that he lacked everything, but what did his arsenal lack?
Steel? Although Han Bin didn't care about the output of the Red Star Steel Plant, it was enough to supply the arsenal.
Talent? There was an ample supply of cloning talents in the system. There were at least 50 skilled mechanical engineers in a production workshop.
Machinery and equipment? The system had unlimited extraction, so there was no shortage of them. From the perspective of this era, this output was acceptable, but from Han Bin's perspective, it was still insufficient. He still had to do more.
However, Han Bin didn't say much. Gao Sheng had also said that it hadn't been long since the production started, so it was naturally difficult to increase production.
After coming out of this bullet workshop, Han Bin did not look at the other bullet production workshops. There was no need!
Gao Sheng then brought Han Bin to the pistol production workshop. There were not many pistol production workshops. There was only one pistol production workshop, and there were not many workers.
Han Bin wasn't surprised by this. The range of pistol equipment was small, and it was mainly used by military officers, so even a production workshop was enough.
Next was the rifle production workshop, which was the main point!
The rifle production workshop was called a production workshop, but in fact, it had three parts. The first part was the real production workshop. The parts were manufactured through the assembly line production process.
Next was the assembly workshop, where workers assembled these parts into weapons.
The last one was the inspection workshop. Every assembled weapon needed to be measured and tested in the inspection workshop to ensure that the various parameters of the weapon met the minimum requirements for use. There would not be any problems with the weapon due to production problems, resulting in problems such as explosion during use.
The weight of a weapon, the thickness of the parts, the forging process, and even the width and length of the parts had strict requirements.
If any of the data was not up to standard, they could not leave the inspection workshop. They were considered unqualified products and needed to be re-smelted.
Walking in the production workshop and watching the workers produce, Han Bin's eyes did not change at all.
Gao Sheng followed behind Han Bin and said expressionlessly,"Currently, we have a total of 15 rifle production workshops like this. Currently, the daily production of rifles was relatively low. They could only produce 500 qualified Garand rifles per day!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Bin stopped in his tracks and turned to Gao Sheng with a frown."Why are there so few? Only 500?"
If Han Bin's words were to spread to the outside world, it would probably infuriate people. He was not satisfied with the production of 500 qualified Garand rifles?
One had to know that at the peak of the Hanyang Munitions Factory, the daily production of rifles was only about 100. For example, Yan Baichuan's Taiyuan Munitions Factory only produced 50 rifles at its peak!
"I'm sorry, county head!" he replied loudly. Currently, the workers were not familiar with the process, and the rate of failure of the rifles produced every day was extremely high. Therefore, the daily output was only 500 rifles.
However, the craftsmanship of the workers was constantly improving, and the production was steadily increasing. It was estimated that in another half a month, the daily production of rifles would reach more than 1,000.”
Han Bin nodded in satisfaction when he heard this."That's more like it! There were 1,000 bottles per day, which was barely enough, but the quality could not be wrong. In addition, the cultural classes for the workers had to be made up.
They worked eight hours a day, and after work, they had to go through two hours of cultural studies. Each worker had to be at least 3,000 literate to be exempted from cultural studies. In addition, they had to take a cultural test for the workers every month.
This could be added to the salary package. Those who performed well in the cultural test could receive a corresponding salary increase.”
