Anti-Japanese War, weapons designer at Fengtian Arsenal

"Will this work? Zero said that this type of ceramic steel has poor wear resistance. If we use it as a barrel, it will be scrapped after firing a few rounds, right?"

Li Qinwu pulled the bolt suspiciously, looked into the barrel, and poked his thumb into the muzzle to feel the rifling. Well, the rifling was quite complete, and it should have been formed in one piece with the mold when the barrel was cast.

The big machine tyrant had a proud look on his face and patted his chest to make a promise.

“I think this will work!

After this barrel was made, I took it to the shooting range to test it. It had no problem shooting 1500 times, but the accuracy continued to decline after 2000 times, and the barrel would only start to show severe wear after 2500 times!

The life of a Type 8000 rifle barrel is about 1500 rounds, and the life of our ceramic steel barrel for precision shooting is about 1500 rounds. I think for a bolt-action rifle, rounds is enough! "

Li Qinwu asked with a sudden thought: "How much does a ceramic steel gun barrel cost?"

This question almost made Da Jiba smile.

"Haha, Boss, let me tell you, ceramic steel gun barrels have almost no cost. The raw materials are everywhere and there are workers willing to work as long as they are given a meal. We only need to make some simple molds and fill them with ceramic steel shaped gun barrels to complete the production.

As long as there are enough molds, one worker can produce hundreds of gun barrels a day. If you want, it is not a dream for the workers in our repair shop to rub tens of thousands of gun barrels a day!"

Li Qinwu took a deep breath. With this output, was Feng Ling Yue Ying activated?

The barrel is the part of a gun that uses the most steel. This solves the most difficult part at once. Can't they mass-produce rifles?

The bolt part continues to use normal steel, and the barrel part uses ceramic steel. The price of the rifle made in this way may drop to less than 10 oceans. The quality of the barrel is a little bit worse. This thing has almost no cost. At most, a rifle can be equipped with a few more barrels and thrown away after a battle. Anyway, this thing is not valuable!

Li Qinwu suddenly had a bold idea to use this gun to open up the civilian market. Now the Republic of China does not ban guns. If this thing is sold and every young and strong man in China has one, the Japanese invasion plan will probably suffer a heavy blow.

In addition, these guns can be provided to the guerrillas. When fighting against the Japanese, the guerrillas are short of guns and bullets. If everyone can have a ceramic steel rifle, wouldn't their combat effectiveness soar?

However, selling guns requires careful consideration, as such large-scale sales are bound to have many constraints.

The more Li Qinwu thought about it, the more he thought about it, and he felt that this plan was quite feasible. While he was thinking, Da Jiba took out another ceramic steel plate, which was exactly the same as the bulletproof plate of later generations.

"Boss, look at this. I estimate that each bulletproof plate is 10mm thick and weighs only 1.5kg. These two plates can protect the chest and back, and weigh no more than 3kg. It is a very excellent bulletproof material. If our brothers are equipped with this stuff, they can be directly immune to the attacks of the Japanese heavy machine guns!"

Li Qinwu's eyes lit up again, and he patted Da Jiba on the shoulder and said, "Good! Very good! Next time before we fight the devils, we must let our brothers wear ceramic steel armor!

However, the protection area of ​​these two boards is still too small. You should think about whether you can make an armor that fully protects the upper body. You can refer to the shell armor of the imperial soldiers, or design it according to the armor of the German soldiers in the Heavy Counter-Germany headquarters. That armor looks pretty cool.

In addition, a helmet must be made. The appearance can be made according to the German helmet. Now this helmet is already very advanced. Oh, a bulletproof mask is also needed to prevent the enemy's bullets from shooting in the face and causing casualties!

Of course, the most important criterion is to be handsome! You must be handsome!"

The big machine boss made an OK gesture.

"No problem, Boss. I will put aside all my work and focus on researching the armor. I guarantee that a prototype will be ready within three days, and the prototype will be finalized within a week. In half a month, the brothers will be wearing standard armor!

It's just that, Boss, I have too few skilled workers on hand. The new recruits are so stupid that we have to teach them the skills. This greatly delays production. Do you think we can add some skilled workers to the repair shop?"

Li Qinwu asked: "How many people do you need to fully operate the factory?"

The big robot stretched out one hand and made a number 5, thought for a moment, then stretched out the other hand and raised two fingers.

"700 people! I need 700 skilled workers to fully operate the factory! I want them to make molds and manage the ceramic steel production line. They are too slow-witted and often mess up the ceramic steel ratio. Sometimes a barrel of ceramic steel turns out to be nothing but waste. These people are too stupid!"

"Okay, I'll pinch someone for you in a bit, but..."

Li Qinwu pointed at the egg-shaped tank turret without a gun barrel.

"Don't you want to make a long-barreled cannon? Have you ever thought about using ceramic steel to make a 57mm long-barreled cannon?"

"This……"

Da Jiba scratched his head. He had never thought of using ceramic steel to make cannons before. He thought that ceramic steel was not wear-resistant and could only be used to make gun barrels. As for cannon barrels...

"Okay, I'll give it a try. If ceramic steel can be used to make gun barrels, then my Punishment Army can also use artillery freely."

As he said this, he moved closer to Li Qinwu with a smile.

"But Boss, it's not easy to record the data of the 57mm gun and make a suitable mold. This is a very complicated task."

Li Qinwu wondered why this guy seemed a bit cunning, as if he had really become an orc mecha king.

"What else do you want?"

"Hehe, Boss, you said before that the clone system can create smart heads, but you've never tried it before. Why don't you give me two smart heads to use? Let them do these complicated data recording tasks, and the two smart heads can do other research later. It's a win-win situation no matter how you think about it, Boss!"

A clone with full intelligence points is very expensive, each one costs nearly 70kg of gold. Li Qinwu is reluctant to spend that much. If he creates one and it dies accidentally, he will be heartbroken.

However, Hutoushan is relatively stable now, and industries have been developed in various places. It is time to cultivate some high-level intelligent talents.

"Okay, I'll get it done for you in a bit. You can leave the ceramic steel barrel making to them first. You should first think about what kind of armor is more suitable for our Punishment Army and equip the brothers as soon as possible!"
