Liang Jian: I will take Li Yunlong to engage in military industry

After successfully reaching a consensus with Li Yunlong, Li Yunlong simply arranged for someone to take Yu Ye to the military supplies department and provided him with all the things he needed according to Yu Ye's requirements.

There was just a small incident. The amount of explosives that Yu Ye wanted was a bit large, and one-third of the inventory was completely wiped out.

But since Li Yunlong had already agreed, he couldn't go back on his word and could only do it according to Yu Ye's wishes.

Yu Ye is very confident in what he wants to do. This thing is not something he imagined out of thin air, but an effective heavy weapon that has been proven in actual combat.

He knew that if this thing could be used in the Middle East, it could definitely be used on the battlefield to fight the Japanese.

What Yu Ye wanted to do was a gas tank cannon, which was later commonly known as the Laiyang steel pipe cannon on the Chinese Internet. On the battlefield in the Middle East, guerrillas even used this thing to knock down American helicopters.

The background of the birth of this thing is also very funny. On the battlefield in the Middle East, a genius guy saw that his gas tank was perfectly stuck in the sewer pipe after being bombed.

So, he had an idea and thought, why don't I use this thing to make a heavy cannon?

Launch a gas can as a large mortar shell?

It has to be said that it is outrageous that war promotes the development of science and technology. This guy did what he said, took out the gas tank at home, drained the gas, and added more than 10 kilograms of explosives in it.

After constant testing, I really got this guy to do it.

The longest range can reach an astonishing 800 meters, which is barely accurate, but the power is amazing enough.

According to calculations, such a shell is as powerful as 3,000 grenades, and one shell can collapse two floors.

You know, this is a two-story reinforced concrete structure. If it were replaced by a blockhouse with a masonry structure like the current one, it would be blown up directly with one shot and razed to the ground on the spot.

When Yu Ye received these cast iron cans from the munitions department, he was almost overjoyed after a simple measurement.

The inner diameter of the cast iron pipe is about 500mm, and the tank wall thickness is 50mm. This structural strength is sufficient.

Moreover, there are not only these thick tubes, but also several thin tubes with an outer diameter of exactly 450mm, as if they were specially prepared for Yu Ye.

However, this cast iron pipe has a flaw, that is, it is very brittle. Even if it is placed lightly on the ground, it will often break due to its own weight.

This is easy to do and requires only a simple heat treatment.

A fire was immediately lit, intending to heat the cast iron pipe and then temper it to increase the pipe's toughness.

While heat-treating the thick pipe, Yu Ye also learned about the situation from the quartermaster. The pipe was brought back from outside the Japanese army camp by guerrilla comrades from the county brigade and was going to be sent to the rear arsenal to be melted and made into hand grenades.

According to the original purpose of this pipe, the Japanese were going to use it as a sewer pipe. Unexpectedly, it ended up being advantageous to Yu Ye.

Yu Ye was very happy to hear this. It was perfect to use the Japanese sewer pipes to send the Japanese to heaven.

While Yu Ye was busy heating and tempering the thick pipes, he was also looking for tools to process the thin pipes. After all, there were no ready-made gas tanks for him to use at this time and place.

Everything can only be done by himself.

In this era when entertainment facilities are generally lacking, I heard that a college student was making equipment to fight Japanese soldiers. Many soldiers who were not on duty or standing guard gathered around to watch.

As a result, Yu Ye had many good comrades who helped him for free.

It's just that this tool is a bit shabby. After looking for it for a long time, I only borrowed a set of tools from the old blacksmith in Yangcun, and I could barely make do with it.

Yu Ye couldn't help but smile bitterly. He didn't expect that he, a dignified military industrial boss, would be reduced to doing the work of a rural blacksmith.

Even a university undergraduate's metalworking experiment of making a hammer is more complete than this tool.

What he was thinking now was that it would be nice to have something to do for himself, even if it was a family workshop-style lathe.

Complaints are complaints, and Yu Ye's work has not been left behind at all.

Although he had no welding equipment, he even used casting to add tail fins to the"cannonball".

Out of respect for craftsmanship, Yu Ye even roughly polished the front section of the"cannonball", which was indeed a bit delicate.

Even with the help of his enthusiastic Eighth Route Army comrades, Yu Ye was busy until the afternoon of the next day to finish processing the barrel, gun mount and three"shells".

Looking at these iron guys leaning against the earth wall, some comrades from the Eighth Route Army who had never seen Yu Ye asked:"College student, what are you talking about? How come we haven't seen it before?"

Yu Ye gnawed on the steamed buns and followed him. They explained:"This is a cannon!"

"Damn it, can this be called a gun?"When Li Yunlong heard that Yu Ye had built the"cannon", he also ran over like an old farmer to watch the excitement.

"Well, if it can be shot out and explode, what is it called a cannon? Yu Ye said angrily.

"Hey, this handsome scholar."

After that, he waved his hands disdainfully and walked away.

Regardless of Li Yunlong's cynicism, Yu Ye, with the help of several enthusiastic comrades, used the gun stand to pull the gun into the mountains and prepare for testing.

As for the gun stand, it is It was modified using a common cart in the village.

Since it was a test, Yu Ye did not load the cannon with explosives. Instead, he loaded it with sand of almost the same weight to ensure the weight, and then wrapped a layer of rags around the cannonball. Applying a layer of butter that soldiers used to clean their guns to ensure sufficient chamber pressure when firing,

Yu Ye stuffed a ball of black powder into the barrel of the gun while complaining. :"We are still too poor now, we don’t even have nitrocellulose, alas."

Strike a match and light the fuse.

Bang!

The cast-iron cannonball made a scalp-numbing whine and hit the mound in the distance.

It hit the ground hard and made a huge splash. A burst of dust.

What the hell?

Yu Ye couldn't help but say something dirty as he looked at the mounds of debris in the distance.

In order to facilitate measurement, Yu Ye gathered a few mounds of soil at the expected impact point. He didn't expect the range of this cannonball. It was a full three hundred meters away, and it was only 5 meters away from the intended impact point.

Yu Ye felt that he had to give himself a big reward!

With this guy in hand, it would be more than just holding a turret. ?

Li Yunlong can still fight with himself? The shell did not contain any explosives, so it made a hole when it landed on the soft soil. Yu

Ye dug for a long time before digging out the shell.

It is very difficult to find industrial products in this era, and this is simply a treasure.

After returning to the station with this"cannonball", Yu Ye opened the explosives he received from the munitions department and looked disgusted. This?

Yu Ye could tell at a glance what the ingredients were. Rice bran powder plus nitroglycerin was the perfect Zhou Dynasty explosive.

Seeing Yu Ye's disgusted look, the quartermaster said directly:"You're a student. Baby, look down on this explosive?"

Yu Ye nodded subconsciously, and then shook his head.

He only felt that it was too difficult for his comrades in the Eighth Route Army to face the well-trained Japanese with such a guy.

"Let me tell you, if it hadn't been for the special approval of the regiment leader, I wouldn't have given you this explosive if you wanted it. Giving you some black fire means I think highly of you."The quartermaster said angrily.

Yu Ye smiled bitterly and shook his head:"Let me tell you this, if you use these explosives of yours now, I will return them to you ten times or a hundred times, and the power is still several times that of your explosives.

Do you think so?"

"Are you a kid with thin arms and legs like you?"The quartermaster shook his head.

Yu Ye didn't bother and started loading the three shells directly. Each shell was stuffed with nearly 15 kilograms of Zhou's explosives.

The quality is not enough, so we have to make up the quantity.

Anyway ,

Zhao Gang saw all of Yu Ye's actions and sent the Japanese in the gun tower to the west in comfort.

When the shells fired from the barrel really flew more than 300 meters, Zhao Gang was still ruthless. He was shocked. He really didn't expect that such a few broken tubes could actually be fired under Yu Ye's operation.

Zhao Gang's eyes changed a bit when he looked at Yu Ye.

"Classmate Yu Ye, you created this......It still looks very powerful!"Zhao Gang paused for a moment. He still couldn't connect these extremely crude iron pipes with"cannons".

"Haha, that's for sure, just wait and see."

"Political Commissar, could you arrange for two guerrilla comrades to take me to reconnoitre the Japanese artillery towers? This way we can fight the battle with confidence"

"good!"Zhao Gang readily agreed to Yu Ye's request.

Since Li Yunlong said that he and the two were white-faced scholars, he would let the white-faced scholar teach him a lesson and make him feel a little shocked.
