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

"Old Li, our comrades in the arsenal have been working day and night to produce a gun like this. Shouldn't we reward them?" Yu Ye patted Li Yunlong on the shoulder and asked.

"Of course I have to." Li Yunlong held the dirty gun in his arms without moving his eyes away.

"Captain, do you think it won't be a big problem for the thirty or forty people at our Liaoyuan Arsenal to kill a pig?"

"That's no problem, of course. I'll arrange for the kitchen team to go find the villagers to buy it." Zhao Gang made the decision without waiting for Li Yunlong's consent.

Being able to make a gun like this, let alone killing a pig to satisfy everyone's appetite, it would not be an exaggeration to even give each person a first-class merit.

"That's fine, Lao Zhao, open up!"

"Look at what you, the great Director Yu, said. Since our arsenal is mainly for you to make such a good gun, it is only natural to kill a pig."

Zhao Gang also looked eagerly at the gun that Li Yunlong was holding carefully in his arms and wiping carefully.

"Well, I have only one request. After I buy this pig, I want to kill it myself."

"what?"

Zhao Gang was confused by Yu Ye's words. What the hell? You want to kill this pig yourself. What kind of hobby is this?

After hesitating for a while, Zhao Gang agreed despite having a lot of questions in his mind: "Okay, I'll tell you when I get it back."

Zhao Gang looked at the gun in Li Yunlong's hand, and his excitement has not subsided until now.

It can be fired individually or continuously, and its power is extremely great.

After being submerged in water, it can still maintain reliable and stable firing in complex environments, which is definitely not something that ordinary firearms can do.

Moreover, the structure of this gun is very simple. Zhao Gang personally witnessed Yu Ye putting together the gun that had been disassembled into seven major parts, which means that the structure of this gun is extremely simple.

Simplicity also means that the probability of failure on the battlefield will be very small.

And even if something breaks down, it can be repaired quickly.

Only those who truly understand guns know how important this is.

However, this gun has a very fatal weakness for the current independent regiment or the current Eighth Route Army, that is, the gun consumes bullets too quickly.

This means that this gun is a logistical nightmare.

Moreover, the independent regiment has just escaped from the predicament of having less than three bullets per person. If this type of firearm is replaced on a large scale, I am afraid that the current ammunition reserves of the independent regiment will not be enough to fight a battle.

Before the battle was over, the independent regiment had run out of bullets, and even the best guns in their hands became firewood sticks.

This is funny.

Zhao Gang looked at Yu Ye and said hesitantly, "Old Yu, your gun is good, but it consumes too many bullets. With the current bullet reserves of our independent regiment, I'm afraid..."

Zhao Gang didn't finish his words, but only said half of them, but Li Yunlong and Yu Ye understood what he meant.

After Li Yunlong reacted, he looked at the gun in his hand and his brows instantly frowned so much that they could pinch a mosquito to death.

This shortcoming is almost fatal to the current independent group.

Li Yunlong is feeling extremely miserable right now, just like a young man who has been single for over 20 years and finally gets married. The bride is a village beauty, but on the wedding night he suddenly finds that he is not feeling well.

This feeling is really laughable and frustrating.

Yu Ye raised the corner of his mouth and said, "I am responsible for making the gun. As for the problem of wasting bullets, that is not something I should consider.

You guys just say whether this gun has strong firepower or not?"

"fierce!"

"Very fierce!"

Both Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang nodded, and believed from the bottom of their hearts that the firepower of the gun was strong enough.

"But......"

Yu Ye burst into laughter.

"Do you really think that I, Yu Ye, am in charge of killing but not burying?"

"Ok?"

"Let me tell you, I had already thought about this problem when I designed this gun. Copper for making bullets is still in short supply, so I used steel bullets."

Yu Ye said with a smile.

"Ah? Steel bullets? Will it work?" Zhao Gang was a little confused. After fighting for so many years, he had never heard of steel bullets.

"Commissar, could you please remove that 'ma'?"

Yu Ye curled his lips, walked to the gasoline barrel that was used as a target, and overturned the gasoline barrels to the ground. After all the water in them was poured out, Zhao Gang saw some bullets on the ground.

Zhao Gang picked up the bullets and looked at them carefully in his palm.

Inside the slightly deformed yellow bullet, he actually saw bright silver metal, which was clearly the luster of steel.

"Old Yu, what are you doing?"

“I use steel as the core and lead and copper as the jacket, so I can reduce the amount of copper used to a great extent.

As for the material of the steel core, I will just use the rail steel you guys found to stamp it out, which is pretty good.

At least you, the shooting master, didn't feel anything different about the bullet when you fired it just now, right?" Yu Ye laughed.

"Indeed, when I fired the gun just now, the straightness of the trajectory was not affected at all. If you hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have known that this bullet was a steel core bullet."

"Not only that, this bullet shell is also made of copper-clad steel, which saves a lot of copper." Yu Ye said as he picked up two bullet shells and handed them to Zhao Gang.

Zhao Gang held the two shells and said in amazement: "Old Yu, we, the independent regiment, have found a treasure by picking you up.

If it weren't for you, we would never have thought that steel could be used to make bullets."

"Alas, we are forced to do this. If we had as much copper as the Russians, we wouldn't have to live such a hard life."

Yu Ye complained.

But I think in my time, copper-clad steel bullets were used because there was a shortage of copper. This was a solution that was forced out of necessity.

"However, Lao Li, although my copper-clad steel bullets can solve some of the current problems, for long-term considerations we still have to get a stable source of copper.

Otherwise, the copper coins in our hands will run out sooner or later."

"Old Yu, the situation you mentioned is very important. Do you have any ideas? How about we, Old Li, go get some copper for you?"

"Then where are you going to rob? The Japanese don't even have enough copper of their own, who can you rob from?" Yu Ye said unhappily.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"Go and rob the copper mine occupied by the Japanese!" Yu Ye said righteously.

"Ah ha? Where can we rob it then?"

"Let's go to Zhongtiao Mountain!"
