Su Wen was a transmigrator.
If you want to transmigrate, then transmigrate.
However, he had transmigrated to become a top military student who had returned from studying in the Eighth Route Army. This really gave Su Wen a headache.
Before transmigrating, Su Wen was a top student at the Mining University. He did have some research on ores, but it was really impossible for him to become a military weapon maker. He knew nothing about weapon manufacturing.
With such a situation and background, Su Wen had no choice but to become a military worker.
According to Su Wen's thoughts, he would take it one step at a time. At most, he would use his mining knowledge to fool himself from a military worker to a miner.
Su Wen was a little flustered.
Although Su Wen had also paid attention to the development of the military industry before he transmigrated, he did not know anything about weapon manufacturing and the basic principles behind it.
Tough.
Zhao Tianming did not know that Su Wen was a transmigrator. Instead, he pinned his hopes on Su Wen and even brought him around the arsenal with great interest.
Other than repairing some old weapons and making simple grenades, mines, and explosives, the main task of the " Border Factory " was to load bullets.
Since the production of bullets required copper smelting, the arsenal lacked copper ores and copper smelting equipment. Therefore, the soldiers picked up the shells on the battlefield and let the military workers in the arsenal continue to fill the shells. They would continue to use these bullets in the next battle.
The people responsible for loading the bullets were usually craftsmen, blacksmiths, farmers, etc. The quality was also somewhat uneven.
After all, it was handmade and couldn't be compared to industrial machines.
But even so, guns and ammunition made in the Border Region were once in high demand within the Eighth Route Army.
Zhao Tianming explained," One of the main tasks of our arsenal is to load the bullets with black gunpowder.”
"Although we can produce a certain amount of bullets, the quality is still far from good! Therefore, we are always passive on the battlefield!"
"This is already very difficult." Su Wen sighed sincerely.”
Bullets were the most common weapon on the battlefield. The quality of the bullets made in the border area was quite different from the bullets of the Japanese army. The bullets made in the Border Region were all man-made, and the size were not very precise.
Moreover, on rainy days, when the weather was dark and humid, the bullets were easily wet, which made the Eighth Route Army very distressed.
Due to the poor quality of the bullets, the Eighth Route Army was also in a passive state in the war against Japan. The bullets were not accurate and did not hit far enough.
It was still fine in a short battle, but once it came to a tug-of-war or a long-distance battle, the Japanese army had the advantage.
Take the 38-cap bullets used by the Japanese army during the war as an example. They had a range of more than a thousand meters and were very lethal.
On the other hand, the 38-cap bullets produced by Bian Qu could only be shot within 400 meters. There were certain problems in terms of shooting range and accuracy.
Although there were many shortcomings in the quality of the weapons made in the Border Region, the weapons made in the Border Region became the main source of weapons for the Eighth Route Army during the Anti-Japanese War and made a great contribution to the Anti-Japanese War.
After visiting the crude arsenal in the border area, Su Wen roughly learned about the development of the arsenal in the border area of the Eighth Route Army from Zhao Tianming.
This was really not easy.
During the war, the Eighth Route Army's own arsenal was also gradually developed.
By now, the Munitions Factory could also see some machinery and equipment. The conditions were much better than before.
However, it was still very difficult.
After visiting the arsenal, Zhao Tianming let Su Wen rest for a while before returning to work.
After resting for the afternoon, Zhao Tianming came to find Su Wen early the next morning and said,"Comrade Little Su, how was your rest?”
"It's alright, Manager Zhao. What's the matter?"”
Zhao Tianming: " It's like this. Our Munitions Factory encountered some difficult problems when designing a gun. You're a top student in this field, so I want to invite you over to take a look!”
"You have just arrived at the Munitions Factory and you have to work hard.”
Difficult problems in the development of firearms?
I don't know either?
However, under such circumstances, Su Wen could only bite the bullet and nod."Alright, I'll go over and take a look now."
