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

Li Yunlong's eyes were evasive.

"Come on, if you don't confess today, you can't leave this house. Just be a cook in the brigade for a few days!"

"My brigade commander, I got the spoils by blowing up the enemy's artillery tower."

"Then I will investigate you for the crime of not returning the seized goods to the public. This crime can make you lose your position as the leader, right?"

"Oh!" Li Yunlong sighed and said nothing.

"Li Yunlong, don't try to play tricks on me. There is one more thing I need to ask you. I have already asked the comrades in the intelligence department. The train is carrying machinery from Yan Laoxi'er's Taiyuan Arsenal.

What are you doing that for, kid?

Can you give your brigade commander a hint?"

"Alas." Li Yunlong sighed and continued without saying anything.

You can ask as long as you want, Brigade Commander. If I agree, I will be the loser.

"I won't ask you about three thousand kilograms of explosives." The brigade commander was also helpless with the rolling meat.

"Oh, okay!" Li Yunlong smiled happily.

The brigade commander's heart skipped a beat. Damn, it's too little.

"Get out of here! If you dare to lose even a pound, you'll have to come back and take the blame." The brigade commander was so angry that he drove Li Yunlong away.

"Okay, Brigadier General, I'll get out of here right now."

......

laugh.

A ball of black fibers was ignited by Yu Ye and burned up completely within one or two seconds, with almost no residue left.

Smokeless gunpowder is now ready.

Yu Ye stood up and rubbed his waist. Squatting here to do experiments is not a job for ordinary people.

Yu Ye has been exhausted these past few days, but he has finally mastered the basics of the basics.

The basis of all chemical products is three acids and two alkalis. Before blowing up the train, Yu Ye finally managed to get sulfuric acid.

The sulfur collected is burned as fuel to produce sulfur dioxide, which is oxidized into sulfur trioxide by oxygen. The produced sulfur trioxide is absorbed by concentrated sulfuric acid to produce pyrosulfuric acid, and finally sulfuric acid is obtained.

When Yu Ye saw the small ceramic basin of sulfuric acid, he almost cried. In the past, he used to take chemical reagents directly. He did not expect that making sulfuric acid would be so difficult when even the experimental equipment had to be made by himself.

The output is low, but it is enough.

With sulfuric acid, it is convenient to make nitric acid. Just heat it with potassium nitrate. This is a laboratory method and the production capacity may be relatively low, but it is sufficient for current demand.

Due to the lack of suitable catalysts and reaction conditions, the industry does not intend to attempt to use nitrogen to industrially produce nitric acid.

He planned to study coal chemical industry directly after he had control over the coal mines, and produce ammonia directly from coal.

For Jin, this is simply good value for money.

This will also help us get rid of our dependence on the Japanese fertilizer powder and we can also have our own production capacity of explosives.

After causing such a big fuss this time, Yu Ye had a hunch that the Japanese would sooner or later discover the connection between the fertilizer powder and the explosives they made, and would definitely cut off this way of obtaining it.

At that time, we can only rely on our own efforts.

This is just a small detail, but it reminds Yu Ye of a sentence his master often said when he was working in the military industry: "It is better to have it yourself than to have it by your parents."

If we want to provide the independent regiment and even the entire Eighth Route Army with a steady supply of equipment and firepower, we still have to be self-reliant, and it is not advisable to use tricky methods such as looking for fertilizer powder.

Or it may be just an occasional transition at a certain stage. In the long run, you still need the ability to manufacture from scratch.

This is the real right to speak.

After finishing all this, Yu Ye finally had the opportunity to start taking stock of his resources.

Simple lathes, 2 units.

Punch press, 1 set.

Boring machines, 2 units.

Milling machine, 1 unit.

Drilling machines, 2 units.

Grinding machine, 1 set.

Sawing machine, 1 unit.

There is also an electric automatic three-axis machine tool.

In addition, there is actually a granulator that is used to make smokeless gunpowder into uniform particles, which makes it easier to load bullets and ensures the uniformity of bullet quality.

Otherwise, the amount of gunpowder in each bullet will be different, which is a very fatal thing.

Touching the assets he had pieced together, Yu Ye actually had the same mentality as Li Yunlong. He had been here for almost a month, and when had we, Old Yu, ever fought a battle so rich?

Just after the steam engine that was broken into 17 pieces was repaired, Li Yunlong came with Zhao Gang.

"Old Yu, I'm back from the brigade headquarters. I came to see how you're doing." Li Yunlong was obviously in a very happy mood, because this time when he blew up the train, he not only got these machines, but also some equipment, guns and ammunition, and even some electrical wires and gasoline.

If I have to make an analogy, it can be said that after a year of hard work, the harvest is good, and we can celebrate the New Year with rich fish and meat.

Moreover, the board was just raised high and dropped gently, which was nothing to Li Yunlong.

"It's almost done. It will probably be ready for production in two days. If you have any bullet shells you picked up before, you can give us some. I'll melt them down and make them into copper plates, and then try to punch out the first batch of bullets.

Anyway, we have already prepared smokeless powder."

Yu Ye said it lightly, as if it was just a piece of cake.

But what Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang heard was no less than the explosion that night. They all knew that Yu Ye was very capable and had top-notch skills in military industry, but they did not expect to see results so soon.

Apart from worshipping, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang really didn't know what to say.

“According to the current configuration, if the raw materials are sufficient, we can produce about 500 rounds of ammunition a day with the existing machines.

In three days, we can raise the average number of bullets of all soldiers in the independent regiment to a higher level." Yu Ye said with a smile.

After all, the number of bullets per capita in the independent regiment is still seriously insufficient.

"Old Yu, will you and your classmates pass by the defense zone of our independent regiment?" Li Yunlong suddenly said something without any context.

"No. What do you want to do?" Yu Ye didn't react for a while.

"I want to tie him up and bring him back so he can continue to work for us, Mr. Li."

Yu Ye: “…”
