Chapter 287 Strategy (II)

When Li Ming approached the group of people, he realized that Ma Lin was also here. When he saw him, he hurried over to see him and smiled and said, "Lord, today is the big day on our Biquan Island. Do you still remember? When he caught Ximen Hu, we can realize the invincible army he had imagined soon."

"Oh?" Li Ming immediately understood what Chen Hao and the others were going to do today. The imitation of the Type 95 rifle and bullets was an important task assigned to them by Li Ming. More than three months have passed. From the hot summer Li Ming set out to Linjiazhuang, it is now golden autumn. According to their experience, Li Ming's guidance and the modern processing lathe brought back should be imitated. Now it depends on the performance of the gun. Thinking of this, Li Ming walked towards the few wooden boxes placed on the ground next to him. Obviously, the Nine Five rifle that Chen Hao and the others presided over.

Li Ming could hardly bear to see the strange-shaped thing when he took out the imitation rifle. The Type 95 rifle used a large amount of engineering plastic and aluminum alloy, which was a difficult problem for Li Ming. If he blindly imitated the original appearance, he would inevitably use alternative wood and steel to solve the structural defects. Therefore, when Li Ming attacked Ming Yangcheng, he was considering how to solve this problem. Finally, he had to abandon the smooth appearance of the 95 rifle and instead refer to some shape designs with rifles. The inner bore mechanism of the 95 rifle was placed in an inappropriate shape. The originally beautiful 95 rifle actually had a wooden buttstock. Now, seeing the actual manufactured things made Li Ming blush. In fact, Li Ming has always regretted that why wasn't the economical and practical ak47 that was snatched back? If that were the case, he wouldn't have to work so hard.

However, Chen Hao and the others did not think so much after all. They were able to successfully create the first gun according to the design drawings of the lord and study the "rifle" that was dismantled, and passed their internal tests smoothly. Now that he saw Li Ming's slightly red face and a strange look, Chen Hao, who had always been careful, thought Li Ming was excited.

He gestured to the two subordinates beside him. The two men immediately took out two bulky rifles, put them on the ground, climbed down, took out the magazine and pressed them up, then skillfully loaded the bullets, aimed at a target that was placed a hundred meters away, and fired several shots in a row.

Although they fired a single shot, Li Ming could still clearly see the difference with the 95 rifle. The rifle they imitated had a very powerful leap when the bullet was released from the bore. If it was fired continuously, the shooting accuracy would probably be greatly affected. However, after all, this is a modern weapon they made by themselves. Although it is relatively heavy and rough, and the accuracy is too low, in this world, this is really a huge progress, which indicates that Li Ming himself can rely on a weapon processing factory to organize a truly modern army. This is epoch-making in the military history of this era, and it marks that the era of cold weapons war will probably pass soon.

On the target a hundred meters away, bullet holes appeared one after another as the shooting continued. It can be seen that the two people who were shooting underwent very strict shooting training, and the distance of one hundred meters was almost every shot.

Seeing a smile on Li Ming's face, Chen Hao's nervous mood suddenly relaxed. He, who had been silent, began to chatter and introduce their hard work and difficulties in Li Ming's ears.

After hitting the target for 100 meters, the two men shot another 300 meters at Li Ming's request. At this distance, the difficulty of shooting increased a lot, but the final statistics still made Li Ming very happy. The off-target rate of 30% made Li Ming full of confidence in the future war.

Taking advantage of the warm atmosphere at the scene, Li Ming took the opportunity to praise the technicians who developed the guns in public, and then personally came out to test their newly made rifles. For Li Ming, who was used to shooting 95, their earthy rifles were not very comfortable. The powerful noise and recoil made Li Ming stop after only ten rounds of bullets.

Leaving the test site, Li Ming turned into the Ministry of Industry. Since he had already come out, he simply put down his work and learned about the development of weapons and equipment in detail.

According to Chen Hao's report, the production of bullets is now basically normal. Although the amount of gunpowder is not so accurate, it can meet the normal use.

According to the current production scale and speed, if Li Ming agrees to mass production, the more than fifty rifles can be manufactured on average, the more familiar hectics are, the more familiar he is, and only a few people who participate in the development are familiar with the manufacturing methods of guns. However, after half a year, a large number of people who are already familiar with the manufacturing technology can be trained, and in that case, the manufacturing speed will be leaps.

As for bullets, the manufacturing speed is still very slow. It is good to be able to produce fifty or sixty rounds a day. If there is a high-intensity war, this number is really a drop in the bucket. Therefore, Li Ming's idea of ​​forming a modern corps will be postponed. At least within half a year, she still needs to rely on traditional cold weapons to fight. Fortunately, his advantage is already very obvious. Using traditional combat methods can sweep the Tang Dynasty. At present, it seems that developing guns seems a bit unnecessary. By the time he can mass-produce in large quantities, the Tang Dynasty may have been put to an end. At that time, what should he do with an advanced rifle? With more powerful weapons, it will be very difficult to control in the future.

Considering this factor, Li Ming's enthusiasm for manufacturing high-tech weapons suddenly became cold. While listening to Chen Hao's endless report, he was distracted to consider this issue. Once Pandora's box was opened, he would not know what fate would be waiting for him. By then, even Li Ming himself would not be able to control the situation.

Therefore, after Chen Hao finished the report, Li Ming ordered: "The training and internship of manufacturing personnel continue to be strengthened, and we will strive to cultivate a large number of qualified manufacturing personnel. Malin, all of these people have established files separately and their identity information is deposited into your security department. As the key monitoring and protection objects, they are absolutely not allowed to leave Biquan Island in normal times. They are our hope for revitalization, but at the same time, it may also bring us unexpected troubles. The manufacturing methods and manufacturing personnel of rifles must be the biggest secret on the island. You have to do all your responsibilities."

Marin hurriedly stood up and respectfully accepted the order. He knew that everything Li Ming said must be followed. Once the manufacturing method of the rifle was spread, the threat to his side was very huge. Therefore, he had decided to start the work immediately after Li Ming left.

"Chen Hao, according to the current progress, it is estimated that in three months, you will have nearly 200 rifles. Give you a quantity limit, produce 300 sets, and then stop production immediately. All manufacturing personnel remain the same. Except for not producing, daily practice cannot be stopped. My requirement is that once I need you to produce in large quantities, you must be able to bring out things for me immediately. By the way, have the small train you made started to test? Why haven't I seen it?" When talking about the war, Li Ming remembered the logistics transportation matter, and then contacted the development of the train.

Chen Hao jumped off his chair excitedly and said, "We have tried the train many times. At present, we mainly need to transform the steam combustion chamber according to your instructions to adapt to different fuels. In addition, the gearbox needs to be improved a major improvement. It is estimated that the experiment will be completed next month. The prototype is currently in the test site. You may not notice just now that there are several large wooden houses on one side of the test site, and there are the train prototypes.

Li Ming nodded and said, "So, you are still very confident about the formal launch of the train. Let's do this. I am preparing to launch a large-scale counterattack against Li Qing and Li Jiao. The expedition of more than one million troops is under great pressure on logistics, especially our troops need a large amount of oil and crossbows, which greatly increases the transportation volume. If the railway can be built to the border area before the war begins, we will easily win. Therefore, I order you from today on, let the personnel of the train research team draw out some people to find Gao Wei to ask him about migrant workers, and start building a railway from Shuncheng Wharf in Huzhou to Pingzhou. More than one can be built.

The distance is as far as I can. I want to test how great the potential of railway transportation is. At present, our steel reserves are not small. After the power plant is built, a new modern steel mill can also be put into use. At that time, our steel will be more abundant, so don’t be stingy with the materials. As long as you need it, we must take advantage of the opportunity of war to build the railway running through Huzhou. In that way, Huzhou will definitely become the most developed trade area after the war." Thinking of the well-connected railways and the world that narrowed the distance, Li Ming was very imagining. Now he has begun to lay the foundation for the economic development after the unification.

When he turned back to his office, it was already evening. Sitting in front of the table, Li Ming picked up the data on the table and prepared to continue his work. However, he did not expect that the materials in his hand had already copied various statistical results and analytical conclusions with a brush. After careful verification, all of them were correct, especially the final conclusion analysis, which was very clear and much better than Li Ming himself.
Chapter completed!
