As the number of buyers increased, the original factory's output was no longer sufficient, so new workers were needed.
This time, Su Xing is not planning to let the team members go, but is planning to recruit outside. They will be soldiers who need to fight in the future, and it will not work for them to stay in the factory all the time.
After the recruitment notice was posted, the door was almost broken down by applicants. After all, the treatment of three meals a day is the highest here.
The workers who were summoned received training and quickly started working. After the factory was on track, Su Xing prepared to purchase equipment to manufacture firearms.
The food sold during this period was enough for him to buy some equipment and spare parts. Su Xing also wanted to know whether firearms could be manufactured in Terra?
Chapter 13 Rifle Manufacturing Success
After the equipment was delivered, Su Xing began to inspect it. After all, Su Xing didn't think that the things he bought in the slums could be good.
After all, the conditions here are so poor that it is impossible to manufacture high-precision equipment.
The machine tool that Su Xing bought is an antique from decades ago. It has no problem processing some common parts, but forget about processing more delicate parts because it doesn't have the function to do so.
Moreover, after Su Xing's inspection, he found that many parts inside the machine tool were worn out. According to Su Xing's estimation, it might stop working in less than a month.
However, it was not a big problem for Su Xing. He already understood the structure of the machine tool, so it would not be a problem for him to process the parts himself.
Because this is not a high-tech machine tool, the structure is still very simple and the parts used in it can also be made by hand.
Su Xing also bought some parts and made new ones according to the machine tool. After installing these parts, Su Xing started it and tried it out.
Found that it can be used and the effect is better than the previous old parts.
Su Xing was very happy about this. Since the parts he made could be used, he could also rebuild the machine tools.
But that is something to be considered later. What Su Xing needs to do now is to use machine tools to manufacture gun parts. After all, guns are relatively complicated things. Even if they are manufactured, it is still a question whether they can be used?
After all, there may be Originium dust in the air of Terra, and Su Xing doesn't know whether this kind of thing will interfere with firearms?
Although Huijin and others can use firearms in Terra, who knows if they have debugged their own firearms? Therefore, experiments are necessary after the firearms are manufactured.
There are quite a few parts for guns. Su Xing was thinking about what kind of gun he wanted to make. With the current capabilities of the machine tools, he could forget about making automatic rifles and semi-automatic rifles. He could only make guns that fired bullets manually.
Su Xing thought about it and decided to make a simpler rifle. Although the simple rifle has its shortcomings, it does not require too high technology and the manufacturing method is not that complicated.
After setting up the machine tool, Su Xing began to recall the structure of the rifle and the parts needed to manufacture it.
Su Xing can also find ways to solve some parts that cannot be processed by machine tools.
As the machine tool ran, the parts of the rifle were manufactured one by one, and Su Xing made some delicate parts directly by hand.
After all the parts were manufactured, Su Xing began to assemble them.
Soon, a rifle was born in Su Xing's hands.
Looking at the rifle in his hand, Su Xing felt more confident.
The gun is 1350 mm long, 8.92 mm in caliber, 30.13 mm in barrel length, and has a magazine capacity of 5 rounds.
The maximum range is 1500 meters and the bullet speed is 700 meters per second.
However, although the guns have been manufactured, the bullets have not yet been manufactured.
The craftsmanship of bullets is no worse than that of firearms. Bullets can be said to be a product of physics, chemistry, materials science, and aerodynamics, and their manufacturing difficulty is not low.
No matter what type of bullet it is, it is composed of four parts: projectile, cartridge case, propellant and primer (primer).
Everything else is easy, but things like gunpowder are difficult to find.
Because Su Xing had never seen it in Terra, but Terra did have the materials for making gunpowder. Sulfur and charcoal materials were both mentioned in the plot, but he had never heard of saltpeter.
But since Terra has a chemical system, it should also have saltpeter.
As for why gunpowder was not invented, Su Xing didn't know?
Maybe no one had these three things together, so gunpowder did not appear.
It may also be because of the emergence of a new energy source, Originium, that most people have started to study Originium. After all, compared to an item like Originium that contains enormous energy, other things are basically eclipsed.
Su Xing felt that even if gunpowder came out, there might not be anyone to study it? After all, the system brought by Originium is much stronger than gunpowder.
Although gunpowder developed rapidly in the later period, its lethality was very weak when it first appeared. In addition, with the existence of source stone, it is not surprising that gunpowder was not discovered.
Su Xing also tried to find saltpeter. This kind of thing usually appears near toilets and old houses.
However, maybe because the mobile city was full of steel structures, Su Xing couldn't find anything here.
There are charcoal and sulfur, but they are useless alone.
Su Xing finally gave up making gunpowder and chose to use Originium powder as gunpowder and stuff it into bullets.
Compared to gunpowder, Originium powder is much simpler, because Originium crystals and Originium powder are unstable, and this property is very similar to black powder.
Moreover, the source stone will explode as long as it encounters open flames. The bullets made of source stone powder should have the same effect as black powder.
But this is just Su Xing's guess. As for whether it can be done, it still needs to be tested.
Su Xing came to a room, which he made for experimenting with firearms. Su Xing used soundproofing materials on the surrounding walls, so the sound of gunfire could be blocked here.
Although it is impossible that nothing can be heard outside, all you can hear are some knocking sounds, and these sounds are very faint. You can only hear the specific sounds if you put your ears against the wall.
After Su Xing arrived here, he closed the door and also made a mechanism to pull the gun from a distance. If this thing exploded, he didn't think he could survive?
Although he was not afraid of Originium infection, the power generated by the explosion was not something his weak body could withstand.
Worried that the explosion might be too powerful, Su Xing reduced the amount of Originium powder in the bullet by half.
After making preparations, Su Xing loaded the bullets into the gun, pulled the bolt, walked away, and pulled the silk thread in his hand.
The silk thread is tied to the trigger, and all Su Xing has to do is pull the trigger.
With a 'bang' sound, a hole appeared on the target in the distance.
Su Xing waited for a while, then walked forward to observe.
The target was made of steel, and if it could penetrate that, then the bullets would also take the lives of the Terrans if they hit them.
Su Xing checked the surrounding situation. Because he was using Originium powder, Su Xing was not sure whether the place was filled with Originium dust?
Although I don't know the situation, judging from the fact that Originium artillery was used in the war on Terra, most of the energy may have been consumed when the Originium exploded, and the remaining energy should not pose any threat to humans.
However, Su Xing would not think that there would be no problem just because of this success. Firearms must be tested by firing hundreds of shots. If there is no explosion during these times, there should be no problem.
Su Xing took the gun, disassembled it and checked the rifling and barrel, and only felt relieved after making sure there was no problem.
Chapter 14: Firearms Unit
Su Xing knew that as long as it was used enough times and there were no problems with the rifling and barrel, it could basically be mass-produced.
It must be said that Terra's materials are still very solid, and they are not developed slowly like the Earth's.
Terra is a legacy of previous civilizations, so the strength of Terra's materials, which appear to be feudal society, has reached the strength of the Earth's information age.
Su Xing was very happy about this. At least he didn't need to iterate the materials himself. The current material strength was enough for Su Xing to manufacture tanks and fighter planes.
However, the manufacturing technology of tanks and fighter jets is not so easy to master. Su Xing thinks it will be impossible to develop it within five or six years. If it is slower, it may take more than ten years.
In the following time, Su Xing began to fire continuously to test the durability of the rifle, and bursting of the barrel and other interferences also had to be taken into consideration.
If it were possible for the equipment to be inadequate, Su Xing really wanted to create the king of rifles, the AK47. This type of rifle has strong stability and performs well in both high and low temperature conditions.
The receiver is machined from a forging, and the magazines are made of steel or light metal and are interchangeable regardless of the climate conditions.
The modes include single shot and continuous shooting, and its strong stability will not affect the use of the gun whether in the rainforest, desert, or even in extremely cold areas.
Even if dust or other foreign matter enters the gun during continuous firing, its mechanical structure can still ensure that it continues to work, which is why the AK47 is so popular all over the world.
However, it is still quite difficult to manufacture AK47. The manufacturing process and equipment of this automatic rifle are obviously not available in the slums, so it is still a long way to go to manufacture it.
However, the rifles currently manufactured are sufficient. Because of the materials of Terra, the rifles manufactured by Su Xing do not have those shortcomings and there are no problems in using them.
Moreover, after firing dozens of shots, there was no sign of damage to the breech and barrel. This rifle was still very durable, and Su Xing felt that it would not be a problem to use it for a few years.
However, this rifle is only a transitional thing. After he unifies the slums, Su Xing will research more advanced rifles. It would be best if he could produce the Zhongzheng rifle, so that the team's strength will be further enhanced.
After testing the rifle for half a day, Su Xing was ready for mass production after confirming that there were no problems.
It is not difficult to produce spare parts. Even ordinary people can produce them after training for a period of time.
It's just that delicate parts are difficult to manufacture, but that's not a problem. At worst, Su Xing can find a few people to teach them the knowledge of locksmithing. If an eighth-level locksmith can emerge among them, Su Xing will wake up laughing in his dreams.
However, Su Xing also knew that the probability was very low. People who could reach the eighth level of fitter could make an aircraft carrier with their hands. The precision of the parts they processed was comparable to that of machine tools. Such a person might not appear even once in 100,000 people.
However, Su Xing felt that it was not bad to be able to produce some level four and five people. These people should have no problem making gun parts.
Su Xing then redesigned the shape of the bullet. Since there was no gunpowder, Originium powder was used instead. Su Xing needed to reinforce the outer shell of the bullet, otherwise if too much Originium powder was put in, the shell would not pass the test and explode.
........
Three days passed in a flash, and Su Xing smiled as he looked at the new rifle in front of him. The power of this rifle was no less than that of the Type 38 rifle, and it was even catching up with the Type 38 rifle.
The components of the gun itself have been upgraded by Su Xing, the range and power have been greatly improved, and the weight has also been reduced.
The magazine has been increased from five rounds to seven rounds. To be frank, a Filin with this gun can pose a fatal threat to Sarkaz or Vaifan.
Su Xing called Hellagur and Lev to come. After the three of them entered the experimental room, Su Xing took out the rifle and placed it on the table.
Lev was very confused when he saw this and asked, "Teacher, where did you get your gun?"
Su Xing said: "This is not a gun, it's a rifle."
Lev looked confused. What's the difference?
Su Xing sighed, knowing that the Terrans had never seen a gun, so he picked up the rifle and fired a few shots at the target in the distance.
A huge sound rang in the ears of both of them, but neither Herag nor Lev paid any attention to it. Instead, they stared at the rifle in Su Xing's hand.
Herag asked uncertainly: "This gun? It can be driven without Originium skills?"
It's no wonder that Hellagur was so shocked. If the gun really does not require Originium skills to activate, then the way of war on the entire Terra will change in the future.
Lev also had a shocked expression on his face. He had learned a lot from following Hellagur during this period of time, and of course he understood how much of an impact it would have if the gun machine could be activated without the need for Originium skills.
Su Xing said: "This is a manual rifle that I developed, it can be used without Originium skills.
Anyone can use it after training, the threshold is very low, and the bullets use source stone powder, the cost is much lower than etched bullets, whether it is a rifle or a bullet, as long as the equipment and parts are sufficient, it can be mass-produced. "
After hearing Su Xing's words, the two of them were filled with shock and fear. This meant that the team could be armed with all firearms.
They have also seen the power of firearms. This thing is no worse than a crossbow, and it has a long shooting range and loading bullets is not difficult. Even an ordinary person without any training can learn it after watching it a few times.
Helag and the other man remained silent, both of them thinking about the possible changes that the guns might bring.
Lev felt that if he could arm his troops with firearms, unifying the slums would be as easy as taking something out of a bag.
What Helag was thinking about was the changes brought about by firearms. As long as firearms were produced in large quantities, they would not be without the ability to fight even against the Ursus regular army. Helag now really felt that the ideals of Su Xing and others had the possibility of being realized.
As long as they have enough guns and do not encounter a siege by a large army or the internal guards, Su Xing and others basically don't have to worry about their own safety.
Next, Su Xing asked Lev to look for people with strong manual skills in the factory. After these people were found, they did not refuse when they heard that they were interested in the job. Although the new job had many restrictions and once they entered, they could not leave casually, and everything inside had to be kept confidential.
But no one refused because the new job paid more and the food was better.
Next, Su Xing asked them to be responsible for the manufacturing of gun parts. Because of the division of labor, these people didn’t know what the parts they made were used for?
In March 1096, Su Xing produced a thousand rifles and bullets. At the same time, Lev's men also formed the first firearms unit. These people had to go through many tests before joining the team, so there was no need to worry about loyalty.
Next, Su Xing had this firearms unit conduct training. After a month of training, they all mastered the use of firearms, and now all that was left was actual combat.
Chapter 15 Unification
It just so happens that Su Xing is preparing to unify the slums recently, so he might as well take this opportunity to let them practice combat.
After preparing for a few days, Su Xing looked at the sky and started to act at night.
