Chapter 457: AK-47 was born

The 474th chapter AK-47 was born
This caught country M by surprise. They were thinking of bringing together several small island nations to deal with China! But their dreams have all failed in the face of China's major planned military exercises.
When China's various advanced military weapons appeared in the exercise, country M was also very surprised. Even though they were not convinced, they used the small island nation to compete with China several times, but failed each time. This made the military and political leaders of country M have to change their previous policy of containing China.
Now country M has given up. The previous attempt to occupy China in vain, but to maintain friendly diplomatic relations with China, so that the two big countries are in a peaceful and friendly atmosphere.
Country M’s policy is to focus on Europe and turn this place into the largest market for their military weapons sales.
In this way, the European part is naturally not flat. Under the separation and bewilderment of Country M, the entire European sector is divided into two camps, one is the pro-M faction and the other is the anti-M faction. The two factions are incompatible with fire and water, and the European war seems to be on the verge of breaking out.
Zhao Zhongyao already knows this historical background. He feels that now he has the opportunity to make this small military industry base a world-class military industry group.
This is because the world may soon enter a state of large-scale war. Although this war may only be a war of the entire Europe, not a war of the entire world.
But this is enough. This has allowed the advanced weapons developed by Zhao Zhongyao to show off on the battlefield. At that time, their small military industrial base will soon grow into a super military industrial group.
Of course, this is only a vision of Zhao Zhongyao. What will happen in the future, he is not sure, after all, he is reborn in a parallel world. Some parts of this parallel world are the same as the world before death, and some parts are different.
But no matter what, Zhao Zhongyao, who has first-class military technology, is still determined to turn this small military industry base into a super military industry group.
To achieve this ambitious goal, the first step is to develop an excellent rifle of your own.
Because the rifle is the most commonly used weapon among the weapons in the world, it is an indispensable weapon for every soldier.
For a military industrial base, only by producing an excellent rifle can it ensure that its military products can always occupy the world's military market.
What Zhao Zhongyao has to do now is to design and produce the AK-47, the most famous rifle king in the world before his death, and then promote this rifle to the world. At that time, he This small military base will also develop and grow step by step with this rifle.
Before Zhao Zhongyao, he had already designed the AK-47 drawings. What we need to do now is to produce the two sample rifles requested by the superiors.
The first step, the design work, Zhao Zhongyao can do it alone. But this second step, production in the workshop, is definitely not a task that can be completed by one person.
Now for Zhao Zhongyao, it is the time to really test him. After all, the military machinery in this world is also very backward. The machine tools used to produce weapons are also very backward. There are no advanced CNC machine tools for later generations, all of which are some early single-part processing machines. A lathe is used for every part.
Although the equipment is relatively primitive. But Zhao Zhongyao was still very confident. Because, he knew very well that when the AK-47 was first produced, it was also during World War II. At that time, there were no CNC lathes in the military factories of the former Soviet Union. They were all ordinary lathes, but they were on ordinary lathes. They produced the most advanced and practical AK-47 at the time.
Sometimes, the quality of the equipment does not determine anything. The key is also the person who uses the device. As long as you have patience and confidence, you can produce some high-tech products with ordinary equipment.
Back then, my country’s two bombs and one satellite were all completed with poor technical equipment. It can be said that this is a miracle of a person's ambition. As long as there is confidence, there is nothing that cannot be done.
Zhao Zhongyao knew nothing more about the history of China before his death. I know that under such difficult conditions, world-class high-tech ‘products’ like ‘two bombs and one star’ can be produced. Now he wants to produce the AK-47 on an ordinary machine tool, which seems to be a very easy thing.
However, confidence is confidence, and it takes a lot of effort to do it in detail.
Anyway, before his death, Zhao Zhongyao had learned a lot of the technology and knowledge developed by the AK-47, and he also knew how a mysterious military factory in the former Soviet Union produced this gun.
Although the AK-47 is very famous, the military factory that produced it is not well-known. At first it was called Sestro Lek. Later, the name was changed twice.
This factory is very poor and very unknown. Sestroretsk is located in the city of Kronstadt, about 27 kilometers northwest of St. Petersburg, near the Oranienbaum Land in the Finnish Sea Basin, which is not marked on most maps. According to Russian documents, the Sestroretsk factory was the third Russian government arsenal established in 1721 or 1724 (the period of Peter the Great). It was built here to use the hydraulic power of a large river. Their first supervisor was Swede Christine Pedro. According to Russian official documents, the factory specializes in the production of light weapons and also produces artillery for the Russian Navy. However, documents outside Russia stated that the establishment of this factory was only for the production of rifles for the imperial Russian government. In any case, the factory produced a large number of weapons by 683 workers during the time of Peter the Great. In 1780, the factory was almost razed to the ground by the fire, but production resumed in 1799. In 1867, Sestroretsk was denationalized, but was again controlled by the state 17 years later. From 1880 to 1894, the number of workers was as high as 2,500 to 2,600, but the number was greatly reduced. Up. After Colonel Mosin took over the factory in 1894, in order to produce M1891 rifles, the factory added 206 new machines and the number of workers increased again. In 1898, only 1,000 workers worked 8 hours a day. In 1903, the factory had already With 1,200 workers and 940 machine tools, it can produce about 30,000 3-line rifles every year.
During the October Revolution, the workers of Sestroletsk played an important role due to their proximity to Lenin's headquarters in St. Petersburg. During the Civil War, the White Army had the possibility of occupying the factory, so it was forced to evacuate the factory and turn the production factory into a maintenance center. When the German army began to encircle Leningrad in 1941, the Allied Finders approached the factory, forcing the factory to evacuate again. Workers in Sestroretsk continued to produce in the Leningrad factory. After the war, Izhevsk and Tula built more modern production lines, while Sestroretsk was no longer taken seriously, so the factory did not Reconstruction, no longer exists.
Izhevsk is a small city located 77 kilometers northwest of Sarapur on a large river in the hills of the Ural Mountains. It was originally established in 1760 as an iron factory mainly producing light weapons and artillery parts. In 1763 the factory was taken over by the Russian government and began to produce weapons. Later, because Napoleon was preparing to invade Russia, and out of strategic considerations, the Russian government needed to find a new place to produce weapons. This place could not be as dangerous as the locations of Tula and Sestroretsk, and should be close to natural resources. The place of supply was finally decided in 1804 to use the well-founded Izhevsk hardware factory. On July 10, 1807, Izhevsk officially became a truly well-equipped arsenal. By 1825, Izhevsk had become the most modern and efficient weapons production site in Russia. It used river resources to provide Enough power and steam. From 1807-1907, about 4 million rifles have been independently produced. However, workers working in Izhevsk have the possibility of being conscripted into compulsory military service at the age of 25, so its production efficiency is quite High.
In order to increase the production of Mosin-Nagan rifles, the Izhevsk arsenal has been greatly expanded since 1900. A large number of modern production machines have been imported from France, Britain and Switzerland, and the number of workers has also increased sharply. In 1882, the city had only 2,048 inhabitants. In 1902, there were 3,637 workers. In 1903, there were about 7,000. In 1905, there were 6,366 workers on the production line. rifle. In 1896, Izhevsk could produce 1,000 3-line rifles per day. This number was reduced to 600 per day in 1899. During the civil war in 1919, the Izhevsk arsenal was occupied by the "White Army" for several months. During World War II, the Izhevsk arsenal produced M9130 rifles with all their strength, and 30 million M9130 rifles were produced during the first half of the war alone. The rifle produced by Izhevsk can be identified by the hammer and sickle factory markings in a wreath on the top of the barrel. In addition, there is a gun number composed of at least 7 Cyrillic numbers on the left side of the barrel. Izhevsk produces barrel guards and a triangular mark with a feather arrow in the lower right corner of the base plate.
The Izhevsk Arsenal produces the largest number of Mosin-Nagan rifles, and most of the M189130 rifles found on the market today are produced in Izhevsk. The factory is known for producing high-quality and inexpensive gun steel. In addition to rifles, it also produces rifle parts for Sestroretsk and Tula, as well as cold weapons and shells for the army and navy. During the Soviet era, Izhevsk was the capital of the Udmurt Republic. After the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, the Izhevsk Arsenal was reorganized into today’s Izmash Company, which still produces military, sports and hunting weapons.
Zhao Zhongyao knew very well how the AK-47 assault rifle was produced. The former Soviet Union can produce an excellent assault rifle such as the AK-47 under such difficult conditions, and it can also produce such an excellent rifle under simple conditions.
In the past few days, Zhao Zhongyao has been in the workshop almost all the time, and Zhao Gang and the others are looking at the drawings while producing parts. Zhao Zhongyao had to personally inspect all the parts produced by the workers several times, and finally determined that there was nothing wrong with these parts before starting to let them assemble the whole gun.
After three days of hard work, Zhao Zhongyao and Zhao Gang finally produced two AK-47 sample assault rifles.
Looking at the real AK-47 in front of him, Zhao Zhongyao was a little excited.
You know, this is a weapon he designed, developed and produced himself. Compared with the previous design, no matter how it was produced, the two AK-47 assault rifles, to Zhao Zhongyao, it feels like his own children. The feelings are not the weapons designed before. It can be compared.
Even with the many powerful missile weapons he designed before, he didn’t feel that way. Anyway, Zhao Zhongyao now feels that these two assault rifles are the most important thing around him since he was reborn in this world. There seems to be nothing. Things can be compared with these two rifles.
"Haha, it's finally completed. Since the establishment of our military base, the first real gun has finally been offline!"
Zhao Zhongyao looked at the two newly assembled AK-47 assault rifles on the assembly stage. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and showed a relieved smile.
"Director Zhao, is this gun really powerful!"
For Zhao Gang, he felt that the production of this gun was not much different from the production of the unsupported rifle designed by Zhang Lianying and Chen Dongshan. It's just that the barrel of this gun is relatively short. The barrels of the non-handled rifles designed by the two old guys are relatively long. Also, this gun is made of a wooden butt, and the gun designed by the two old guys does not have a butt. Apart from these places, I really don't feel any special features about this gun.
Relatively speaking, it is easier to produce this kind of gun than the unsupported rifle designed by the two old guys before.
After all, all parts of this gun are smaller than ordinary rifles. Especially the barrel is shorter than ordinary rifles. This makes it easier to produce. Unlike the previous production of unsupported rifles designed by two old guys, because the barrel was too long, the lathe could not be used. In the end, the design drawing could only be modified to produce the unsupported rifle.
