Chapter 218 Bullet Mass Production

In addition to the launch of the new howitzer, Ictor also developed a larger-caliber artillery for the Ratman artillery unit.

After the 45mm artillery was released, the territory also urgently needed a larger caliber artillery to deal with the possible threat of advanced supernatural powers.

Therefore, the 75mm high-diameter super-normal artillery came into being. This cannon uses the latest launch array, which is more gentle than previous generations of launch spells, has a longer burning time, and has extended the barrel, which has increased the speed of the cannon ejection and has greatly improved its service life.

Unfortunately, with Windersol's current situation, it is impossible to equip artillery on a large scale, and the types of shells are still mainly solid cast shells. The stock of dimensional stone armor-piercing shells is only enough to fight a small battle.

Ictor's current goal is to build a powerful artillery unit with 6 45mm cannons, 3 75mm cannons, and 3 120mm mortars, which has been completed most of the time.

In this era, artillery of this size was enough to allow Ictor to win many small battles, and his suppression was no less than a full-scale mage regiment.

However, before achieving this goal, Ictor needs to solve the most important ammunition problem in the territory at present.

So far, the Ministry of Industry has produced more than 300 magic guns for the entire army, and the main troops have fully replaced new weapons. In order to load ammunitions on the horse, the cavalry also asked the Ministry of Industry to create a short-sawed version of the "carbine".

The ammunition consumption brought by so many guns is extremely terrifying. No matter how stingy Ictor is, a rat man snatcher will have to distribute at least 20 training ammunitions.

Just this item alone costs 6,000 rounds of ammunition.

But to be honest, there is no need to fight. You just need to strengthen the training intensity to get rid of ammunition, unless you hoard a large amount of ammunition in advance.

What's more, he had to stockpile at least 50 rounds of ammunition for each magic gun to prepare for war. Although the casting workshop works overtime every day, there is no doubt that this method can no longer meet the ammunition needs of the army.

A mage of the Astrology Sect asked, and these words expressed the thoughts of all participants.

In order to solve this problem, Ictor had to convene the core cadres of the Ministry of Industry again.

"What we need is a round solid bullet, which needs to be very large, and it is best to produce hundreds or thousands of rounds a day. If nothing unexpected happens, we will use black gold as the raw material this time."

The reason why lead is used as bullets is mainly because this thing has a low melting point, and the melting point of lead is only 327 degrees, which does not require magic and can be smelted more easily. This is crucial for Ictor's ammunition production facilities.

At present, the territory lacks stamping technology, and these equipment used to make larger industrial parts are inefficient in doing such small parts.

Everyone figured it out.

If the army is expanded in the future, it will only be more difficult.

Now that the Ministry of Industry has newly added machines, it has almost doubled its production capacity. With its huge increase in strength, the masters have said that there are no difficulties that the Ministry of Industry cannot solve.

"Simply put, first of all, most of you should have seen dripping water on the eaves."

Why can we understand every word and even understand it together, but the final result is so amazing?

What's going on with this device? Why did the bullets be produced if you don't pay attention?

"Forgive our stupidity, but the prophet, please reveal the truth behind it to us."

"Lord, in fact, many of our Rat students have mastered the car-made conical bullets. If the two newly imported lathes are also put into production, they can produce about 30 qualified bullets a day."

There was a bamboo water cup in front of the participants, and a mage pointed his finger on the water under the guidance of Ictor.

"I believe you all understand that I came here for ammunition this time. I have already controlled the production principle of bullets, and it depends only on whether the Ministry of Industry's current capabilities allow it."

As soon as these words were said, the Ministry of Industry, whether it was a mage or a master, was full of question marks.

"This is really good news. Our army does have a demand for cone bullets, but this is far from meeting the current consumption of the territory."

Other astrological mages also tried one after another. After experiencing this knowledge, they couldn't help but sigh again in the correctness of following Ictor to seek the truth.

The so-called black gold, which is the name of lead by the imperialists, currently there is a black gold mine near Windsol.

Who would have thought that the knowledge that exists around you is a secret recipe for mass-producing bullets.

"I plan to build a tall tower with a thick-walled iron furnace on it and heating space below,

In addition, the tower also needs an outwardly extending pipe to drip the melted black gold liquid.

Drops of water? What does this have to do with making bullets?

The people present were a little confused, but they could only frown and listen.

Lead that turns into liquid will drip into a ball from the pipe, and then gradually cool down as it falls to the ground. It can be stuffed into the barrel with just a little polishing!

With this powerful weapon for producing bullets, it is really not a dream to produce thousands or even tens of thousands of bullets a day!

"But you must also be clear that although this device can produce enough shot put, if you want to obtain a large number of qualified blasts, your Ministry of Industry still needs to strictly control the processing accuracy of the pipeline.

At the same time, it should be noted that as the lead water in the container decreases, the liquid flow rate of the pipeline will also change, which may cause some production problems, and this complete system must be strictly designed."

Ictor made the masters a little discouraged. For ammunition manufacturers, they are very confident about their production speed.

As it turns out, the Force Mage is really suitable for doing mechanical work.

"When a drop of water falls from the eaves, it will maintain a roughly round shape due to a surface tension. In fact, it is not only water, but also liquids have this property. You can try it now about the existence of surface tension."

Ickett had a plan for the principle explanation, after all, he had to cultivate industrial talents while researching and developing.

This speed can be said to be very fast. In the previous life, Ictor used CNC lathes himself to save more than 20 pieces in the morning. It was still plastic blasting materials. It was surprising that the masters rubbed iron so quickly.

Ickett was straight to the point, and not only the newly promoted ratmen and workers cadres were present, but also the mages from the Astrological Society.

"This! The water actually absorbed on my fingers! I have never noticed this detail. The truth is actually around us, in every corner of life!"

Finally, just put the collection basin below and we can easily make bullets."

The specific manufacturing process is what really tests the production capacity of the Ministry of Industry.

However, the current manufacturing level of the territory is no longer afraid of this test. The first ammunition tower took only three days to complete the design and was announced to be completed in just ten days.

When the ammunition worker opened the valve, the territory produced ammunition almost every second.

Then, the ammunition is handed over to every soldier for polishing, and the problem of shortage of ammunition is perfectly solved.
