An Epoch-Making Creation! Copper-coated steel bullets!
"Old Hao, is Su Yan's proposal feasible?”
Li Qiang didn't know much about technical matters, but he heard from Factory Manager Hao that the plan proposed by Su Yan was really possible, so he quickly confirmed it with Factory Manager Hao.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Li Qiang was no longer calm.
Previously, due to the problem of raw materials, the production of bullets in the Citadel had not been able to increase.
Although the dirt ball could be used, its range was extremely short, and its lethality was also very limited!
Although they were currently working together with the baldy, the baldy had only given Rabbit a number, and hadn't provided any of the necessary resources and equipment.
This also severely limited the rabbit's combat strength.
Many frontline soldiers were often at a disadvantage against the Japanese because of the lack of ammunition.
Now that Su Yan had overcome this technical difficulty, it meant that the rabbit's bullet production would soon increase!
"There are still one or two small copper mines in northern Shaanxi. Shanyang County has the Zhongyi Copper Mine, which has always been under the control of us rabbits. Although the production is limited, it still produces.”
Li Qiang thought about it. There were several copper mines in the northern Shaanxi base area. The Zhongyi Copper Mine was considered a large-scale one. There were also several other small copper mines that could always gather the required raw materials.
Originally, the copper in the base was mainly from the arsenal, so there was no problem with the distribution.
"In that case…we only need to solve the problem of production.”
"Manager Hao, which of the masters in our factory have the highest standards?”
Although the ladle copper technology was quite popular in the future and was not a high-tech technology, it still existed in the theoretical stage. As for whether it could be successful, it had to be verified in practice.
"Old Liu, Old Zhang, Little Wu! The three of you, come here!" Factory Manager Hao thought for a moment and immediately waved to the crowd.
Then, two old masters and a relatively young technical backbone walked out from the crowd. Factory Manager Hao introduced them to Su Yan."These three are the fastest masters in our factory to master the production line. Old Zhang and Old Liu were the technical backbones that Minister Shen brought to Yan 'an back then. They have decades of service. Little Wu is smart and learns quickly.”
Su Yan nodded at the three of them." There's no time to lose. Let's start as soon as possible." I'll explain it to you, and you'll be in charge of the operation.”
The factory still had the copper left over from the previous production of bullets. Manager Hao sent someone to bring all the copper over. Then, under Su Yan's guidance, the three workers began their first experiment on ladle copper technology.
"Ye Linna, he's really a genius.”
Among the bear experts who were watching from the side, a female expert smiled and said to Ye Linna,""Once this technology succeeds, it will be an invention that transcends the era. Not only could it be applied to bullets, but it could also be applied to other fields.”
Nowadays, alloy technology was also one of the key development projects in various countries.
The alloy had a hardness that was harder than a single metal. It also had some characteristics that the original metal did not have. If the ladle copper technology was successful, it would also mean the birth of a new alloy.
"If it can have the hardness of steel and the thermal conductivity and malleability of copper, then this alloy can be used in a wide range of fields.”
Ye Linna felt proud as she listened to the experts around her talking and praising her.
It was as if these experts were praising Su Yan and her.
However, Ye Linna looked at Su Yan's back and couldn't help but sigh.
When was Su Yan going to notice her feelings?
"Success, success!"
Ye Linna was still in a daze when she suddenly heard the excited voices of a few workers in the workshop not far away.
Hearing this, Factory Manager Hao and Li Qiang rushed to the workshop. When they saw the bullet in the worker Xiao Wu's hand, everyone was stunned.
This bullet was no different from the 7.62mm bullet produced by the Munitions Factory. If Su Yan and the others hadn't marked the bullet on the shell, they wouldn't have been able to tell which bullet was produced by the ladle copper technology.
"Is this a success?"
Manager Hao carefully examined the bullet in his hand. It was said to be copper-coated, but there was no difference at all to the naked eye. It was as if it had been carved out of the same mold.
There was no difference on the surface. The next thing to do was to test if the bullet could be fired successfully and how accurate it was.
"Let's go to the shooting range!"
Manager Hao couldn't sit still anymore. As soon as he got the bullet, he hurriedly took the AK that had just been produced and led everyone to the shooting range.
Su Yan also followed. The principle of ladle copper sounded complicated, but it was actually not difficult for the technical backbones of the three factories.
In the end, he had to control the temperature of the infusion well. If the temperature was not up to or exceeded, the fusion of the two metals would not be perfect.
However, with the experience and skills of these three people, they could determine the temperature of the furnace just by observing it with their naked eyes.
In addition, Su Yan had personally made the injection mold, so the production of the bullets was exceptionally smooth.
He followed Manager Hao to the shooting range. Manager Hao picked up the bullets that were originally produced in the factory and said to everyone,"This time, we'll control the variables! Using the same gun to shoot at the same distance and see how accurate the shot was!”
With that, Manager Hao fired a bullet first.
With a bang, the observer not far away immediately reported Factory Manager Hao's shooting results.
"7 points!"
It was considered average. Factory Manager Hao was not good at shooting, so it was not surprising that he scored this number.
Immediately, Manager Hao picked up the copper-coated steel bullets that had just been produced using the ladle copper technology.
Another shot!
"8 points!"
Hearing the score reported by the observer opposite him, a trace of joy flashed across Manager Hao's face.
This bullet seems interesting!
The result of this shot was actually much more accurate than the first shot?
"Let's go and take a look." Manager Hao put down his gun and walked toward the target.
When everyone approached and saw the bullet marks on the target, they could not help but gasp.
The bullet holes left behind by the bullets produced by the new technology were an entire circle bigger than the original bullets!
This meant that the power of these new bullets was even more terrifying than the old ones!
Su Yan saw the bullet marks on the target and finally smiled. He thought for a moment and said,"Factory Manager, why don't you try using the Japanese's steel helmet?”
Factory Manager Hao heard this and immediately became interested.
Anyway, it didn't take long to produce a new bullet. He only needed to wait for about ten minutes!
If Su Yan's experiment was successful, the power of the new bullet would be beyond their expectations!
