Chapter Twenty-Eight
The afternoon sun is very good, and the spring season is always warm.
There are small hills behind and at the west end of the village. The hills are not strong in size, only some weeds and some shrubs and small trees that seem to never grow. There is a small depression on the hills at the west end of the village. The depression is surrounded by trees, and the terrain in the middle of the depression is flat, like a small basin.
Qian Duoqiu came with that bag. In the afternoon, he not only brought the gun and parts, but also brought his gun-making tools - several files of different sizes, several screwdrivers of different sizes and a hand-crank drill, and a very simple thing similar to a vise.
Li Qinglin was stunned when he saw these simple tools. He pointed at these tools and asked in disbelief: "You just use these tools to build a gun?"
Qian Duogui said proudly: "Of course! I can make the rest of these parts except the barrel and other particularly difficult ones!"
Li Qinglin had to admit that the potential of mankind is infinite. No wonder there were still a group of people doing the same job in the tribal areas of Afghanistan in the 21st century. The imitation AK47 assault rifles they made were no worse than those of regular military factories.
According to Li Qinglin's idea, Qian Duogui removed a part from the original gun and replaced it with his own made, and then fired it at an empty gun, so that any part would be found immediately if there was any problem. Sure enough, the second part would not be fired after being replaced.
After finding the problematic parts, he had to find out where the problem was. Qian Duogui took two almost identical parts to compare left and right. After comparing for a long time, he could not find out the cause of the problem. He had to hand over the two parts to Li Qinglin and asked him to find the reason.
Li Qinglin looked left and right and saw that the two parts seemed to be exactly the same, so why can't they be interchanged? Finally, Li Qinglin touched them carefully with his hands and finally found the reason.
The two parts are exactly the same from the front and the thickness from both sides. However, if you touch them carefully, you can feel that the middle of the newly built parts is slightly thicker than the original. Perhaps it is this little thickness that causes the parts to not work smoothly, so the gun will definitely not be able to fire!
Qian Duogui touched the two almost identical parts carefully and then confirmed that Li Qinglin's judgment was correct. He immediately used tools to modify and polish it.
Simple visors are not easy to use, and handmade files are even less effective. It costs more than an hour to just polish a piece of the middle.
During this period, Li Qinglin did nothing. He disassembled the "big-eyed box" according to what Qian Duogui taught him, installed it and then disassembled it until all its structure was clearly understood. It was also very smooth to disassemble and assemble the gun. Every time he installed it, he could fire it empty.
During combat, it is often possible to decide whether a warrior is alive or dead in an instant. The only way a warrior can rely on to kill the enemy is to protect himself, so the weapon can be said to be the second life of the warrior. If your weapon can be fired first and fired correctly, and the firearm fault can be eliminated quickly during shooting, and then fired again, you can kill the enemy first, which is determined by the careful maintenance and effective training of weapons in daily life.
Li Qinglin had long understood this truth. Now he wants to kill the enemy and protect himself, so he took this opportunity to get familiar with the first weapon he saw in this life as soon as possible.
If a pistol does not have bullets, it is a piece of scrap iron. The "big-eyed box" brought by the expensive money will contain ten bullets. After all, this box cannon is very valuable. If someone wants to snatch it up, it is best to use it when necessary if the pistol is equipped with bullets.
Under Qian Duogui's guidance, after learning the disassembly and assembly and maintenance of the box cannon, Li Qinglin began to train himself to reload.
This kind of mullet gun with fixed ammunition compartment is not very convenient to load, and it is better if there is a bullet bridge. Li Qinglin first pulled the gun back with his hand to expose the bullet magazine loading port, then inserted the bullet bridge with ten rounds into the bullet clip slot in the bullet hole, then pressed the bullet into the bullet cabin with his fingers, pulled out the bullet bridge, and finally reset the gun. At this time, it is a state of being fired and can be fired at any time.
If there is no bullet bridge, it will be very troublesome and even dangerous. The bullet-loader must clamp the box cannon with both knees, hold the bolt with one hand, and then use the other hand to press the bullet into the bullet cabin. At this time, if you are not careful, it will get fire.
There are many parts to be modified, and manual modification is very inefficient. In one afternoon, I didn’t modify several parts even if I had a lot of money.
Li Qinglin disagreed with how expensive money is. He carefully observed how expensive money is, and finally concluded: "What you want to do is fast and good. At least you have to have a set of drawings first and then make them according to the drawings. As long as you make them according to the drawings, you don't have to compare the samples with the parts to be produced one by one; secondly, you have to have measurement tools such as vernier calipers, as well as production tools such as hand-crank grinding wheels and regular visees. Vernier calipers can most accurately achieve the accuracy required for parts when producing according to the drawings. Grinding wheels and vises can definitely improve your production speed."
Qian Duogui was a little ashamed and said, "My master also made guns like this, and I did it according to his methods."
But he quickly became excited and said to Li Qinglin: "Qinglin, can you buy the things you said? Or in this way, you can teach me after you buy them. We will open a gun factory together in the future, and we will definitely make a lot of money!"
It is certain that making guns can make money! But Li Qinglin is not very interested in this suggestion. Weapons need materials first. At present, China's self-produced materials basically do not meet the quality requirements. The materials used in regular arsenals still need to be imported in large quantities, let alone private mass production?
Li Qinglin had no choice but to say to Qian Duogui: "I don't know where to buy the things I'm talking about. Even if I can buy them, I don't know if I can afford them. Don't you do well without these things now? Let's wait and see what it takes to build a gun factory!"
When the sun sets westward, Li Qinglin and Qian Duogui return to the village. There is a sound of a knife chopping the chopping board in the backyard of Li Qinglin's house, and Liu Xiuzhen is chopping pig vegetables at home.
Since Li Qinglin's grandmother passed away, Liu Xiuzhen has not raised pigs for several years. The pig's food is large, so it is impossible to feed it all with grain. Farmers generally use a small amount of bran and a large amount of vegetable roots and wild vegetables to feed it.
The labor intensity of digging wild vegetables, chopping vegetables roots, and cooking pig food is not high, but it takes a lot of time. In the past, when the old man was there, all these things were taken care of by the old man, and Liu Xiuzhen generally did not need to be bothered. Later, the old man was gone and the farm work at home was too busy, so Liu Xiuzhen did not raise pigs.
Since Li Qinglin returned home, the father and son in the field can basically finish the work, and Liu Xiuzhen only needs to help occasionally. During the day, she only needs to cook and wash clothes in the vegetable field during the rest of her life.
A few years ago, because the pigs were not enough, a bite of pigs grew from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. This year, ten acres of sweet potatoes were planted at home. In addition to the roots and leaves of the vegetable fields, there were also the sweet potato vines and sweet potatoes to raise pigs... Liu Xiuzhen looked at the lively and lively little black pig in the pig pen, and seemed to have seen a fat-headed and big eared fat pig asking her for pig food.
When Li Qinglin entered the backyard, Liu Xiuzhen's pig vegetables had basically been chopped. In Li Qinglin's impression, pigs were delicious and loved to sleep. When he saw the pigs in the pig pen running around, he asked Liu Xiuzhen: "Is this pig running around? Are you hungry?"
Liu Xiuzhen smiled and said, "I was already full at noon, and it will not be hungry now. 'The piglet wants to run, the big pig needs to fall'. The piglet is growing skeletons when running, and the big pig sleeps upside down and gains weight. Today, your aunt and I bought the piglet that is the best at running. Both piglets are good at talking and they will definitely be able to eat the president. This year, our family will definitely be able to raise a big fat pig!"
The vegetables were already chopped, and Li Qinglin helped Liu Xiuzhen cook pig food.
In the old days, peasant women rarely went out. Many women may have the farthest distance in their lives, which may be the journey from their parents to their in-laws. Their information is also the husband, children, and relatives and neighbors. After Li Qinglin learned about this, he felt that it was really difficult for his mother, so he would chat with his mother as long as he had time. In fact, most of the time, he just talked about family matters, but the mother felt particularly satisfied because she could feel that she was the most important thing in her son's heart.
There is an old pot in the yard, which is equipped with a simple stove, which is specially designed to cook pig food for pigs. The pig food must be cooked in the middle of the afternoon, and after it is cooked, it needs to be placed aside to cool it and then fed it in the evening, otherwise the hot pig food will burn the pig.
Li Qinglin added fire under the stove, and Liu Xiuzhen stirred in a pig food pot with bran and vegetable roots. Li Qinglin suddenly thought of Jiang Xiuzhi being beaten and asked Liu Xiuzhen: "Is Jiang Xiuzhi's injury serious?"
Liu Xiuzhen said, "There is a big piece on her thigh, but fortunately she doesn't hurt her bones. This blessing is really not a thing. She doesn't do serious business all day long and gambles and smokes big cigarettes. There are five poisons in this world, "eating, drinking, betting, and smoking". He takes two things. If he doesn't turn back to justice, he will be ruined. He stole Xiuzhi's dowry and sold it, and even beat Xiuzhi. If her family knows about this, the Qian family will have enough to drink a pot of it."
Liu Xiuzhen paused and sighed, "This woman's life is the life of rapeseed. It blooms when it is sprinkled in fat fields, and it will turn into scum when it is sprinkled in the fields! Although Xiuzhi is a little stronger, she is able to endure hardships and is not lazy and able to plot. She is a good wife who manages the family and lives a family. I don't know what evil she committed in her previous life. She married a bear like Duofu in this life. I think she will be ruined in Duofu's hands in this life."
Speaking of this, Liu Xiuzhen suddenly remembered something, and she said to Li Qinglin mysteriously: "Xiuzhi is still a enthusiastic person. In the first month of the year, I asked her to help our family do something. Now it's done almost. Our family will thank her well in the future!"
Li Qinglin's heart suddenly jumped when he heard this. He remembered Jiang Meizhi standing side by side under the big locust tree with Jiang Xiuzhi.
Could it be that my mother asked Jiang Xiuzhi to go to Jiang Meizhi's house to say goodbye?
Looking at his mother's smiling face, Li Qinglin knew that the possibility of asking someone to say kissing was more than 90%.
