Bright Sword: I took Li Yunlong to work in military industry

Ding, ding, ding.

"Li Yunlong, congratulations on getting rich again."

The brigade commander's cheerful voice came over the phone.

"Brigade Commander, how can you make a fortune? You are so poor that you almost have to beg for food."

Brigade Commander: "I can tell you that I found out about this the next day. Tell me the truth, how much did you gain this time?"

Li Yunlong: "Oh, not much, just enough equipment for a cavalry battalion. I'm going to form a cavalry battalion."

"Look at you, you want to set up a cavalry battalion for your regiment. Shouldn't I set up a cavalry regiment for my brigade?"

Li Yunlong: "Hehe, yes, yes, yes. With your reputation as a brigade commander, a cavalry division wouldn't be too much."

"Stop talking nonsense. Leave one company's worth of horses and equipment, and send the rest to the brigade headquarters."

Li Yunlong: "What are you doing, Brigade Commander? Robbery. You might as well just shoot me. No, no, absolutely not."

"No? Well then, we have to talk it over. You mobilized the troops without permission. That's a serious crime, isn't it?

There will inevitably be casualties when taking down a cavalry battalion, so who will bear the responsibility?"

Li Yunlong immediately got angry: "Hey, I did... Brigade Commander, you agreed to it before."

"I agreed, who can prove it to you?"

Li Yunlong: "Brigade Commander, you can't deny your words. Besides, we didn't suffer any casualties in this operation."

"Stop talking nonsense. You have two options now. Either you deliver the horses and equipment to me, or I will report to the headquarters and hold you accountable for mobilizing troops without authorization.

Li Yunlong, what are you going to do? "

Li Yunlong was instantly dejected: "Alas, a higher-ranking official can crush a person. All right, all right, I accept it, Brigade Commander. If you want to rob, just say so. Why are you making up these excuses?"

"Hahaha." The brigade commander laughed heartily. "If I don't make excuses, can you give me one? Ah? I say, how come you are like a rich landlord? It's just a few walnuts and two dates, and you are still stingy with me. Are you a real man?"

"Hey, aren't we afraid of being poor? Besides, didn't I send you a thousand kilograms of explosives last time? Why are you still coming? Oh!"

"Li Yunlong, stop sighing. Are you giving it to me as a gift? You are exchanging it with me. Doing business with me, am I doing you any loss?"

"Yes Yes Yes."

"By the way, Li Yunlong, you said that your cavalry battalion did not suffer any casualties when attacking Wanjia Town this time. How did you do it?" The brigade commander obviously grasped the key point in Li Yunlong's words just now.

"Well, that's luck."

"Hey, kid, I heard that during the battle of Wanjia Town, your firepower was quite amazing. You even suppressed the charge of the puppet cavalry. Without more than ten Type 99 or Czech rifles, how could you have such a high firepower density?

Tell me, how did you get so many machine guns?" The brigade commander seized the key point and refused to let go.

"Commander, that's not the case. It was just luck. I'll arrange for someone to send the horse and equipment to you in a moment."

"You boy!"

"Brigade Commander, Brigade Commander, Brigade Commander, the signal is not very good. Is the phone line broken? Brigade Commander..." Li Yunlong hung up the phone decisively.

Are you kidding? How could the brigade commander know about the firepower?

The brigade commander is so concerned about getting a few horses. If he knew about Yu Ye's existence, how could I get a share?

You must cover it.

Li Yunlong himself was also wondering how he could retain talents like Yu Ye?

Give him an official position?

Until now, Yu Ye has not expressed his desire to join me. Even if I arranged for him to be the director of the logistics department, he would not accept the position. Now he can only be a consultant.

I asked Yu Ye several times, but he didn't say why.

Give money to Yu Ye?

The problem is that Yu Ye doesn't want any money, and the independent group doesn't have much money either.

So what does Yu Ye want?

Li Yunlong pondered for a long time, and finally recalled that Yu Ye said that day that he would get him a machine tool or something if possible.

Question What is a chicken bed?

Is this a bed for chickens?

What does Lao Yu want this thing for?

He also said that he would use this thing to take him to witness the true peak of firepower.

Li Yunlong thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out.

Just when Li Yunlong was worrying about what was a "chicken bed" or a "machine tool", Yu Ye also had a headache.

This time the monk went out with a hand-rolled Gatling gun, and it was really fun to fight with him, but it was hard for his logistics team. The independent regiment's lack of bullets not only did not improve but became even worse. What should they do?

Yu Ye took out a few bullets that the regiment commander had exchanged from the brigade commander, and looked at them carefully. He found that they had very serious signs of being made by hand.

This is going to kill you.

From the perspective of the entire firearms technology, the technical content of making bullets is far higher than that of making guns.

You can rub the gun yourself, there is no big problem. Some craftsmen can even make it with higher precision than some products coming out of ordinary assembly lines.

But it is unrealistic to hand-roll bullets on a large scale.

He carefully studied the bullet in his hand, pulled the bullet out of the shell, and poured out the propellant, which turned out to be black powder.

I took out the primer and found that the quality was quite average. I poked it twice but it didn't ignite.

No wonder many soldiers are reluctant to use the bullets we produce ourselves.

This thing is really touching.

The residue left over from firing black powder will corrode the barrel and accelerate its aging.

Yu Ye carefully observed the bullet and found that there was a lot of rust inside. Alas, it was actually enchanted and had a tetanus damage bonus.

After seeing this bullet, he finally understood why the masses were mobilized to make saltpeter before.

Potassium nitrate was eventually obtained by continuously enriching the soil near dry toilets, pig pens and cattle pens, filtering and heating it.

This is because the quality is not enough, so we make up for it with quantity.

Now that this has happened, Yu Ye plans to solve these problems fundamentally.

Then let’s start with smokeless gunpowder and nitrocellulose.

This is not a difficult thing for Yu Ye, a chemical engineer.

He found a few brothers who were good at pottery making and started firing pottery of various sizes. He also began looking for natural sulfur ore or pyrite.

Yu Ye intends to reconstruct the current industrial system from the bottom up.

Let’s start with three acids and two bases.

Some things are inconvenient to buy, so I will start from the most basic raw materials. The more basic things are, the more solid they will be.

After various investigations, Yu Ye decided to start with sulfuric acid and use the "cylinder tower method" to produce sulfuric acid.

Then use laboratory methods to prepare nitric acid.

Everything starts from scratch.

Yu Ye wants to reconstruct the entire Chinese military industry system with his own hands.

In the biting cold wind of northwestern Shanxi in early 1940, there was infinite vitality.
