Chapter 583 Drawings
In Shanghai, Ye Feng secretly went to five military factories to check the production status of weapons and ammunition in each factory.
"Lao Liu, this rifle is too old. It is just a slightly improved version of the Hanyang rifle, but it is still not as good as the Japanese Type 38 rifle."
In the storage warehouse, Ye Feng took a gun from a wooden box, shook his head and said, "We are just copying the Japanese production model, but our technology is not up to standard. This gun is just good-looking but useless!"
Liu Wei smiled bitterly and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. We started from scratch. We figured out the workers, materials, and production bit by bit. Being able to produce a rifle that can shoot is already a result."
Five military factories.
Three of them were producing artillery shells, grenades, and bullets with lower technological content, one was producing rifles, and another was preparing to produce submachine guns. For various reasons, the submachine gun project had been stalled.
Liu Wei was also helpless. The military factory was secretly established in Shanghai and put into production.
But when the factory was first built, it was extremely poor!
All five factories are just empty shells, with no raw materials, no production lines, and no skilled workers.
In order to develop the military factory, Liu Wei worked so hard that he didn't sleep for several days and nights.
What to do if there are no raw materials?
He negotiated with those foreign arms dealers through the overseas channels of New Shenzhou Company, and finally paid several times more money to get back the materials for manufacturing weapons and equipment.
What if there is no production line?
Just transform the machinery and equipment left behind by the Japanese.
What to do if there are no military workers?
Through the underground party's intelligence department, they secretly contacted those talents and brought them back to Shanghai from the enemy-occupied areas controlled by the devils. The cost was unimaginable and consumed countless manpower, financial resources and material resources.
What made Liu Wei even more anxious was that all these had been done.
But there are no gun blueprints!
In the end, they had no choice but to start working and start producing low-tech grenades, bullets, etc.
During this period, several copies of the drawings were produced.
However, it was developed based on the most crude weapons, such as the Hanyang-made gun, which is far behind the times.
Without the blueprints of good guns, Liu Wei had no choice but to agree to produce this rifle named "Made in Shanghai" first.
This is not.
Ye Feng immediately looked down upon him.
Not only him, Liu Wei himself also looked down on this type of gun that often had problems.
It's just that it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice!
"Eh~~"
Ye Feng sighed and said, "Don't use these outdated rifle and submachine gun blueprints. Even if they are produced and transported to the front line, they will only be a pile of scrap metal, which will increase the casualties of our troops."
Ye Feng tried to shoot, but it jammed badly and had a strong recoil. He soaked it in some water and sand, and it stalled on the spot.
This kind of gun is just a fire stick on the battlefield.
In close combat, hitting the bayonet is considered a side effect of using it as a handle.
"Old Ye, it's easy for you to say that, but our people can't infiltrate the three northeastern provinces and can't get gun blueprints from the heavy industrial factories there!" Liu Wei said.
"I have a solution."
"Find me an office, some drawing paper and pens, and I'll design a gun."
After hearing Ye Feng's words, Liu Wei was stunned, "You, can you do it?"
Ye Feng rolled his eyes, "Don't worry, I will design you a perfect rifle that is beyond the times."
Which gun drawing is he going to draw?
Of course it is the AK-47 rifle, known as the king of assault.
As the name suggests, this gun was designed and developed in 1947, and it was still seven years before it was released.
This gun is undoubtedly the king of rifles in this war era.
It has so many advantages.
This assault rifle is solid and durable, with a low failure rate. It has excellent shooting performance regardless of high or low temperature conditions. Especially when used in windy, sandy and muddy water, it has reliable performance, simple structure and is easy to disassemble.
If there is a disadvantage, it is that it is too powerful and the bullet has too much penetrating power, resulting in insufficient accuracy.
For Ye Feng, this gun is absolutely suitable for large-scale equipment by the current anti-Japanese armed forces.
First, it has a simple structure, is not difficult to manufacture, and saves money.
Second, it has a low failure rate, is easy to maintain, and saves money.
Third, it can be used anywhere on the battlefield, whether it is the rainforest swamps in the south, the scorching plains in the Central Plains, or the heavy snow in the north, you can just take it out and use it, which saves money.
Their underground party unit is not like the wealthy mountain city where everything has to be calculated carefully!
He also understood that once this gun came out, it would spread all over the world in the future.
It will become the golden weapon of various warlords in other countries.
But so what?
Even if Ye Feng doesn't figure it out, as time goes by, seven years later, the Kalashnikov from the Northern Bear Country will also design it.
"Since this is a new assault rifle that I developed in advance, I can't use the AK-47 assault rifle as its name."
Ye Feng thought for a long time. Generally, the names of guns are named after the time of research and development.
For example, we later independently developed the Type 81 automatic rifle and the Type 95 automatic rifle.
Similarly, the Japanese Type 38 rifle was named after the fact that it was developed and put into production in the year 1938.
"40 rifle?"
"No, it doesn't sound impressive enough. Ye Feng Rifle? It seems too high-profile!"
"The Chinese rifle? This thing kills people. It cannot be associated with a nation, otherwise it will be unlucky."
Ye Feng was multitasking, drawing the blueprint while racking his brains to come up with a name for the gun.
After all the drawings were completed, Ye Feng still couldn't think of a good name, and finally chose to follow the trend of the times.
"AY-40 assault rifle."
A stands for automatic rifle.
Y is Ye Feng’s first letter.
40 represents the year in which it appeared.
Of course, Ye Feng, the angry young man, also thought about a shooting game he had played in his previous life, and wanted to use the names of weapons in it, such as Fire Kirin, Black Dragon, Black Knight, Destruction and so on.
But he quickly shook his head again. The birth of this gun would be known throughout the world in the future.
At this time, Liu Wei came in with a team of military experts.
Ye Feng said, "Look at the drawings first. If you don't understand something, I will explain it to you one by one."
While the experts were busy, Liu Wei asked tentatively, "Old Ye, are you kidding? Did you really make a rifle?"
Ye Feng said, "Since I can use a gun, of course I can also develop a new gun."
Liu Wei, "..."
What the fuck is the connection here?
If what you said is true, there are tens of millions of people fighting in wars all over the world, but only a few good guns have been produced?
Ye Feng said, "Don't look at me. I am an all-rounder. I can fight, charge, kill enemies, research and develop. When we defeat the Japanese and have better industrial conditions, I will draw you better fighter planes, better tanks, and more powerful artillery..."
Liu Wei just thought he was bragging.
