New Rifle Introduced!
"Minister Zhang, with blueprints and equipment, why can't we make this kind of weapon?"

Wu Qianli looked at Zhang Wanhe with a smile and asked.

Zhang Wanhe shook his head: "To be honest, we haven't been exposed to many of the ideas above."

"And you drew this drawing based on your impressions. If there is any deviation on it, this gun will not be able to be made."

"It's not only a waste of time, but also a waste of materials, so I think we'd better play it safe and produce Hanyang first."

"That's wrong!" Li Gan said with a smile: "Minister Zhang, how can you say that we haven't tried it yet?"

"In this way, let's try it first. If it works, we will mass-produce it. If it doesn't work, it won't be too late for us to produce Hanyang again."

"Commander Wu, without further ado, let's try to produce one now, all of us are at your disposal!"

Wu Qianli nodded, and then led everyone into the arsenal.

"Zhao Zhengwei, please go to the warehouse and get some steel, black steel and other materials that we seized earlier."

"Director Li, you arrange a few backbones to melt all these things, and we will use them later!"

Zhao Gang was taken aback: "Use devil's? Don't we have iron ore or something?"

Wu Qianli said with a smile: "The purity of our refined steel is not high, and it is still somewhat lacking in strength for making weapons!"

"So that's the case, I'm an amateur!" Zhao Gang smiled awkwardly, and then quickly led people to the warehouse.

And just as Zhao Gang left, Li Gan and the others surrounded Wu Qianli with the blueprints and began to ask for some details.

Although Wu Qianli is not a military expert, he was a military fan in his previous life.

As the most commonly used weapon for American soldiers, the M16 is very familiar with its basic structure, so it is easy to explain it to Li Gan and others.

But when Wu Qianli was explaining to everyone, Zhang Wanhe disappeared.

He didn't think that Wu Qianli and others could make a multi-moving rifle at the beginning, so he might as well visit the arsenal if he had the time. If the new weapon couldn't be made, he could immediately put it into production in Hanyang.

When he came to the inside of the arsenal, he looked around and his eyes widened in surprise.

The arsenal here in Wuqianli is not only several times larger than the arsenal in the border area, but also has quite complete facilities.

The equipment in the arsenal can only produce a few rifles a day, but as long as there are enough people in Wuqianli, it is not a problem to manufacture hundreds of rifles a day.

Coming to a machine tool, Zhang Wanhe touched it enviously: "I have never seen such a good machine tool since I came back from abroad!"

When he was studying abroad, he witnessed it with his own eyes and learned the production process of Western factories. At that time, he was greatly shocked. After that, he decided to bring those advanced Western technologies back to China to serve the country.

When he came back, just in time for the devils to invade China, he resolutely joined the Eighth Route Army.

But after joining the army, he discovered that many of the techniques he had learned were useless at all.

The people in the [-]th Route Army Arsenal did not know and did not understand these technical concepts.

Second, the equipment of the Eighth Route Army Arsenal is seriously lacking, and it is still very old, and many precision parts cannot be produced at all.

Although he complained, there was nothing he could do. The conditions were like this.

So he could only do his best in his post with a trace of regret.

Seeing these advanced and brand-new instruments again now, the pride in his heart was aroused again.

It's just that he still has some doubts about whether Wu Qianli and the others can make a moving rifle!
And when he came to the arsenal again, the steel brought by Zhao Gang had been melted into molten iron, and the mold was about to start.

"Minister Zhang, where did you go? I haven't seen you for a long time!"

Zhang Wanhe looked at Wu Qianli and smiled awkwardly: "I went to see the equipment in our arsenal to see if there is anything missing."

Wu Qianli was stunned: "What's the use of seeing this? If you lack something, you won't be able to change it for a while, so it's better to make weapons with peace of mind."

"That's true!" Zhang Wanhe smiled awkwardly, and walked up to Li Gan: "Director Li, this is just the beginning, so I won't miss anything, right?"

Li Gan shook his head: "That's not true. Things like melting materials are similar, and it doesn't matter if you don't see them."

"But you can't run away after the mold opening and the subsequent casting. We have to study together."

Zhang Wanhe nodded, and then joined the production team.

In this era, the opening of firearms is an extremely complicated matter.

Due to the limited conditions, the wooden mold foundry was used, but the precision requirements of M16 are quite high, so the old method of wooden mold foundry is basically unworkable.

Fortunately, Li Qian went to Germany to study and knew a better way to open the mold, so he was able to solve this problem.

Of course, the process of mold opening is very laborious. Dozens of people work together and are responsible for different parts. It took three days to complete the mold opening.

After that, it took another two days for cutting, polishing and a series of complicated processes.

Until the afternoon of the fifth day, the first batch of parts was cast.

At this moment, everyone held their breath and quietly stood aside, waiting for Wu Qianli to assemble.

Wu Qianli glanced at the parts in front of him, and the corner of his mouth curled up.

Molding a gun is complicated, but assembling it is simple.

Wu Qianli kept flipping his hands back and forth, dazzled everyone watching.

Because it was the first time to assemble a firearm, even Wu Qianli took about 3 minutes to complete the assembly.

The light in the arsenal is very dim, but it gives people a creepy feeling when it shines on the black gun body.

It is obviously a hot weapon, but it can give people a chilling feeling.

"Success, success!" Li Qian grabbed Zhang Wanhe excitedly: "Minister Zhang, we succeeded, we finally made the gun on the blueprint!"

Zhang Wanhe was also extremely excited, and there was a faint glint of tears in those panda eyes.

"Captain Wu, at the beginning you talked all about this gun, now that you have made it, shouldn't you try it?"

Wu Qianli was taken aback, looked at Zhang Wanhe and said with a smile: "Director Zhang, you don't believe me even now, do you?"

"No, no, no!" Zhang Wanhe quickly waved his hand: "It's just that this gun was made with great difficulty, and everyone just wants to see its power."

"Yes! Commander, we really want to see the performance of this gun!"

"Captain Wu, this is a gun you designed yourself. It was completed with everyone's joint efforts. Let everyone see the result!"

Wu Qianli laughed: "Okay, come with me to test the gun and witness this historic moment!"
