Chapter 16 New Decisions and Scientific Research
The scientific research project was unlocked at the same time as the new decision.
Huang He sent all three small lathes to the rear of Qin Province. After all, the base he was in was not safe and could be moved at any time.
The copper needed by the base before was mainly solved by cutting the Japanese army's telephone lines and copper coins, incense burners, candlesticks and other copper objects donated by the people.
In order to encourage the people to actively donate military raw materials, the base adopted a paid purchase method, and the logistics department specifically divided 19 types of military materials into clear purchase prices.
However, relying on the copper obtained from the trade of civilian factories and the location of the copper mine in the rear, the raw materials are temporarily not in short supply.
Now everything is ready except for the east wind.
Huang He finally decided to put the expansion of the bullet factory on the agenda, and strive to get rid of the transitional thing of reloading bullets as soon as possible.
On November 29, the original three scientific research projects were completed.
Considering that the troops currently have no air superiority and no organized anti-aircraft firepower, if the factory is built, it is likely to be targeted by the enemy's air force.
In this case, there is a research option that is very applicable.
"Discrete Industry Type 1: By dispersing industry, we can ensure that it is difficult for the enemy to target each of our precious factories during wartime
Research time required: 70 days
Effect:
Regional maximum industrial value: +20%
Production efficiency maintenance: +10%
Basic production efficiency: +5%
Factory output: +10%
Factory vulnerability to bombing: -15%"
Discrete industry is very suitable for our vast motherland. It not only improves production efficiency, but also protects the safety of the factory area to a certain extent.
It is a very bad thing to always use civilian factories to exchange raw materials.
Even if the current copper reserves are not bad, with the development of the rear industrial zone, independent mining of copper mines is inevitable.
Now mining in the rear can only be done with very primitive means.
In this era without excavators and drills, comrades rely on their two hands and an iron pickaxe.
The motherland is vast. Although some resources are not very rich, they are basically complete in terms of variety. If these things can be used reasonably, then the starting point for industrialization will be very high.
Although the base is backward in basic disciplines, there are still some ambitious young people and technicians at the high-end level.
It's a pity that there are no professional talents in mining engineering.
Huang He focused his attention on this scientific research.
"Excavation technology type 1:
Based on the progress of excavation technology, it is possible to mine resources in places that were unattainable in the past.
Effect: Friends who have not seen each other for a long time finally returned to the embrace of the motherland from the European continent. Looking at their devastated hometown, they decided to dedicate everything they learned.
Obtained one mining technician, one coal mining technician, one ventilation technician, one geological technician, one surveying technician, and one electromechanical technician.
Research time required: 70 days
Strategic resource acquisition rate: +10%"
Of course, the technology related to the lathe needs to continue to be studied, and it is still far from assembly line operation.
"Improved machine tools: Although the machine factory in the rear can provide some of the equipment needed by our factories, the industrialization of the base cannot be achieved with only one machine factory.
Turret hexagonal lathes have been proven to be indispensable for mass production. Ensuring efficient manufacturing and use of turret lathes will bring significant advantages to the industrialization of the base.
Effect: Turret lathe, blueprint +1
Research time required: 70 days
Production efficiency limit: +10%"
After allocating the research slots, Huang He looked at the decision tree again.
In fact, he really wanted to build some tanks or tank factories.
As the king of land warfare, tanks are very suitable for the current battlefield, and motorized and mechanized troops are the trend of the future.
First of all, the Japanese do not have any anti-tank weapons at the current stage. Before the official war with the ugly people, the funny anti-tank mines were not developed.
Secondly, the Japanese tanks are mainly light tanks.
However, due to the lack of anti-tank weapons in major war zones in China, these small tanks and Japanese industrial scrap iron are rampant on the land of China.
Once this thing appears on the front battlefield, comrades can only choose to pile up human lives to kill it.
If we can get some tanks of European origin, it will definitely be a dimensionality reduction attack.
Finally, it is because the Eighth Route Army is not short of oil at all.
The record of oil in the rear area can be traced back to the Han Dynasty. Ban Gu's "Book of Han" in the Eastern Han Dynasty and Shen Kuo's "Dream Stream Talks" in the Song Dynasty both mentioned it.
The establishment of the oil industry was in the late Qing Dynasty.
In 1905, the Qing government allocated funds to set up the "Yanchang Oil Official Factory" in Yanchang, and the modern domestic oil industry began at this time.
In 1935, the troops arrived in Yanchang.
With the recognition of the comrades by the oil field workers, the Yanchang Oilfield is still operating normally. Before the construction of the Yumen Oilfield, this was the only oilfield in China.
But tanks cannot be driven by just anyone. The cultural level of the current comrades in the base area is generally not high, and the learning cost is too high, not to mention the coordination of infantry and tanks.
Huang He always remembered what his professor in his previous life told him: You must be down-to-earth in everything you do, and don't be too ambitious.
You have to eat one bite at a time. The technology tree can be a little off, but the composition of the troops cannot be off.
Infantry is always the top priority.
Huang He could only reluctantly abandon the tank line and continue to develop the army's light and heavy weapons.
"Focus on the development of light weapons: Since individual weapons are still the basic equipment of our army, our country's limited resources must be mainly invested in advanced firearms equipment.
Effect:
After France surrenders:
MAS-36 rifle production line, drawing*1
FM-24/29 light machine gun production line, drawing*1
Gain access to subsequent unlocks of Gallic Chicken Army weapons"
Huang He was very satisfied with the benefits of this decision, because he knew that Gaul Chicken's new equipment during World War II was not bad.
They dare to claim to be the strongest army in Europe, and their military technology must be second to none. The functions of many standard firearms are actually ahead of Europe's.
However, the new weapons were not mass-produced, resulting in the troops not being able to change equipment quickly enough. In the end, Santoku was beaten to the doorstep. Most of the soldiers were still using antiques from the First World War.
The Gallic chicken was defeated too quickly, resulting in the excellent performance of the firearm being unable to be used. A lot of new equipment was confiscated even though it was 90% new, and in the end it was a waste of money.
The bullet caliber of these two weapons is the legal 7.5×54 mm machine rifle ammunition. In the chaotic bullet caliber of the Gallic Chicken Army, it is a breath of fresh air.
The MAS-36 rifle was created to replace the previous Lebel M1886 bolt-action rifle.
This new weapon has excellent human-machine efficiency, is easy to use, has high accuracy and is low in cost.
The gun is equipped with a bayonet. When not in use, the bayonet is inserted into a metal tube under the barrel like a purge. When in use, it can be pulled out, turned around and inserted.
Moreover, the bolt of this gun is very smooth, and a skilled warrior can turn it into a human semi-automatic.
She can be said to be the best large bolt in World War II, the last glory of the bolt-action rifle.
"The gun is a good gun, but the first users were cowards. It seems that the blood of French men has been shed during the First World War, so I will just use it."
The FM24/29 light machine gun is to replace the stuck king Shaosha. Shaosha really has too many flaws!
It refers to the ammunition feeding method of the Danish Madsen light machine gun, placing the magazine on the top of the receiver. Using a 25-round magazine, the theoretical rate of fire is about 450 to 550 rounds per minute.
It is worth mentioning that this gun is designed with two triggers, one for semi-automatic firing and the other for fully automatic firing.
The FM24/29 is the main light machine gun of the Gallic Army. It actually looks quite similar to the Bren, ZB26 and Type 99. But there is no handle, so you need to hold it when firing from the waist. This light machine gun can be regarded as the light of France.
And the subsequent unlocking permissions are also of Huang He's liking. After all, mature equipment is better than his own at this stage.
"Although the scientific research slot can also research local weapons, there is really nothing good. If you are interested, you can look for pictures online."
It is now December 1939, and a new wave of Japanese raids is about to come.
The 386th Brigade received a batch of new weapons, and the combat effectiveness of the three regiments was improved.
"I don't know what kind of changes Li Yunlong will have when he meets Bantian United this time. I hope he can gain some energy and be smarter, so that he won't have to come to the quilt factory and hang out in front of me every day."
Huang He touched his chin and said to himself.
It was very painful to write, so I decided to skip a section tomorrow, directly to Cangyun Ridge!
