Chapter 330 The medicine for the fear of insufficient firepower!
"It's absolutely true, the message has been verified twice." Lu Yuan nodded affirmatively, his eyes full of excitement, and immediately handed over the confidential message.

Chen Kang took the telegram eagerly, and the brief content with extremely high information entropy came into view. After reading it, the whole person only felt a little... trance.

Succeeded?
How did it succeed?
Isn't it the promised 48 hours?
Chen Kang never imagined that the surprise would come so suddenly, so quickly, and so... off-guard.

The first smelting test of the test furnace was successful—with Chen Kang reading the confidential emergency telegram, there was only one voice left in his mind—the time to fully transfer to military production was coming.

"How is the situation?" General Liu asked immediately, breathing slightly short.

"After the first successful smelting test, Mr. Yu Hua is leading the workers to conduct a 24-hour trial production. If there is no problem in the trial production, according to the scheduled plan, it will directly transfer to the full-load production state. The current trial production has started for an hour." Chen Kang said. , regained consciousness, took a few deep breaths in a row, forced himself to regain his composure, and responded.

Surprise.

Really a big surprise.

Chen Kang did not expect that the Sanchawan area would enter the first smelting test ahead of schedule, much earlier than expected.

When General Liu heard these words, he immediately understood the seriousness of the matter, his face was serious, and he said: "This matter is important, you should report it to the cave immediately!"

Of course Chen Kang understood and nodded quickly.

The success of the first smelting test means that the oxygen top-blown converter project has achieved a breakthrough and achieved substantial success. This event will not only have an important impact on the internal structure of the Military Industry Bureau, but also involves another matter - how to reward researchers.

Outside the house, the sun was extremely hot, like a raging flame, about to sweep the world.

A single spark can start a prairie fire, and a raging flame can burn the sky.

No one knows what earth-shattering technology has been born in this industrial desert in northern Shaanxi.

……

Big cave.

"Boss, this is the latest news from the Military Industry Bureau about the oxygen top-blown converter project. There are two main issues, one is the safety of Yulin Steel Plant, and the other is the award of the highest technology group. We will go to Nanjing on the [-]th, just the two of us. Make up your mind."

"Successful? What's going on, didn't Cripple Chen say it would take 48 hours?"

"Originally, it was, but Yu Hua gave him a surprise. The smelting test was more than five hours earlier than the original time. At present, the test furnace of Yulin Iron and Steel Plant is carrying out 24-hour trial production. When the trial production is over, it will be decided whether to transfer to the factory according to the situation. Full production phase."

The boss heard the words, nodded, and then understood, put down the top-secret report in his hand, and said slowly: "The success of the smelting test means that our steel industry is born, and the test furnace is as important to us as the lifeblood. Safety issues are the top priority. First, strictly block all news of Yulin Steel Plant, especially the technical content of the oxygen top-blown converter. Second, deploy two regiments of troops as a standing garrison to provide necessary security for stable production. surroundings."

Confidential!

There is no need to say how advanced the oxygen top blowing converter technology is. Once it leaks out, it will inevitably lead to prying eyes from the outside world. This outside world...will be the Japanese invaders and the West.

The two regiments are established as a standing garrison, with only one task to protect the Yulin Iron and Steel Plant, and must not allow any factors to affect production.

Don't look at the two regiments that seem inconspicuous, in fact, according to the current popular square division calculation, it is equivalent to deploying a brigade-level combat force.

As the current mainstream troop structure, the cube division is composed of two brigade and four regiments. The regiment level has three battalions, which is usually called the two-two system. If there is no accident, the Red Army will be reorganized on the basis of the two-two system in the future. .

Protecting the Yulin Iron and Steel Plant with two regiments is really a big deal for the base area.

"There is no doubt that we are now just like guilt-ridden people who have no self-protection ability. The technical information about the test furnace should be strictly controlled. I agree with the standing garrison, but I think we can make full use of our own advantages to further strengthen these two A regiment of strike firepower."

"Strengthen the firepower? How to strengthen it."

"At the regiment level, a directly affiliated mountain artillery platoon and a directly affiliated mortar company are equipped with a total of 2 75mm mountain artillery and 6 2-type mortars, and a mortar platoon is set up at the battalion level, equipped with [-] [-]-type mortars. , so that a regiment-level unit of this equipment would be superior to a Japanese brigade in terms of fire support."

"That is to say, the regiment and battalion are equipped with a total of 12 Type 2 mortars and 75 [-]mm mountain guns. According to this weapon and equipment standard, the firepower is already on par with the Nanjing German Weaponry Division, or even slightly better. , but the problem is that we cannot manufacture mountain cannons, and we cannot support it financially. It is very difficult to build troops with this standard."

"Boss, don't get it wrong. I'm talking about the basis of these two regiments, not the entire army. Regarding mountain artillery and finances, I think these two issues will be properly resolved over time."

"So, you mean... a new test with these two regiments?"

"That's what it means. All four guns of Hongyi's mountain artillery company are transferred, and mortars are equipped according to this standard, so that the two test regiments can be quickly established. This can not only protect the Yulin Iron and Steel Plant, but also help the troops in the future. To grow and accumulate experience, Lao Jiang’s German weapon masters are good, and Japanese weapons and Su weapons are also very good, gather the strengths of hundreds of schools, take the best of them, get rid of the dross, and see if we can find our own way of red tools.”

"Okay, I agree with the plan."

"Boss, how do you think the highest technology team will be rewarded?"

"Show sincerity and must be rewarded heavily. Professor Zhuang and Yu Hua are essentially hired technicians, and they should perform the terms of the contract signed at the original reception banquet. Regarding the rewards of Comrade Lin Wan and Comrade Zhao Zhangcheng, I think they can be credited for merit and promotion. A certain material reward." The boss had a serious face and gave his own thoughts.

contract!

Yes, as employed technicians, Yu Hua and Professor Zhuang Qianding signed a buyout contract with Taihang Industrial Co., Ltd. on the oxygen top-blown converter technology. This buyout contract was a reception held when the two first arrived in Yancheng. signed at the banquet.

The terms of the contract stipulated that if the oxygen top-blown converter technology was successfully developed, Taihang Industrial Company would pay a total of 15 yuan in one-off technology buyout fees to purchase the oxygen top-blown converter technology jointly developed by Yu Hua and Professor Zhuang Qianding. Professors account for [-]%.

Although Professors Yu Hua and Zhuang Qianding were considered 'our own people' and provided all kinds of technical assistance, they must have what they should have, and this buyout contract should not be ignored.

Rules must be followed.

"I agree. Just follow this plan. 15 silver dollars should be spent. After all, the actual value of oxygen top-blown converter technology, let alone 15, may be 500 million silver dollars, or even dollars. We have picked up a huge bargain... However, after spending the money, we are under even greater pressure, with 30 yuan left in the account, has Chen Lizi's defective cannon been sold?"

30 oceans may seem like a lot, but in fact, it is nothing more than a drop in the bucket for the industrial construction and various consumption of the entire base area, and the financial pressure is extremely high.

"Not for now. What he reported to me is that he is still accumulating inventory. There are currently a total of twelve defective guns. I have seen these guns. Although there is a machining accuracy error, they are all good guns. They are better than those used by the army before. Mortars are much better, of course, I'm not accusing Professor Zhuang of the first principle of tolerance standards, but I'm just a little emotional."

"We are rich and poor now. The so-called rich is that we have realized the production of mortars and various weapons and ammunition. The so-called poor means that we have no money. This is caused by the rapid development of technology. We must adapt as soon as possible."

"Yeah, I just don't get used to it."

"What is the current market price?"

"According to the report of the Military Industry Bureau, the price of 2800% of the new [-] guns on the market has risen to [-] oceans. Only gold and oceans are accepted, and no fiat currency is accepted. If the quality of our defective guns is used, the price can still increase by [-]%."

"One gun costs 3600 oceans. Let Chen Lai take out this batch of guns as soon as possible to ease the financial pressure. This can be regarded as our hard currency."

"If the financial pressure is too great, I think that when necessary, we can sell standard guns to various militaries to obtain funds."

"This method depends on the situation. The leading troops of the Japanese Fifth Division have arrived in the Nankou area, and the main force is expected to arrive at Nankou in three to five days. In this battle, it depends on how Tang Enbo fights. If he can bite the Fifth Division A piece of meat is of great help to the Chinese people's anti-Japanese sentiment."

Since the fall of Peiping and Tianjin, domestic public opinion has all been pessimistic. Many scholars are desperate and agree with the remarks that the Chinese artifact will fall into the hands of Japanese invaders within three months. Ordinary people may not care, but they are not interested in understanding the comprehensive national strength of China and Japan. As far as scholars from the gap are concerned, they know that China cannot resist the Japanese attack.

The Chinese people are grieved and angry, but do not know how to vent. The theory of national subjugation is widely circulated. A considerable number of people are sure that China will fall to the hands of Japan, and what they have to do is to be a good citizen.

If at this time, the Chinese army can bite a piece of meat from the Japanese army, no matter how much the price is paid, it will be worth it. It can greatly boost the domestic anti-Japanese sentiment and let countless people see the dawn of hope from the darkness.

In the cave, he was caught in the military discussions of the past.

……

The sun and the moon alternate, and the stars move.

In the blink of an eye, it was the morning of the next day, and the Yulin Sanchawan factory area was in full swing. Everyone was working like a tireless machine to carry out heavy and dangerous steelmaking operations, and worked together to create a 24-hour trial production record.

The No. [-] medium-sized blast furnace and the No. [-] small-sized blast furnace emit thick harmful gases, which are released into the atmosphere and pollute the surrounding environment. The two blast furnaces continue to operate. Hot and dazzling high-temperature molten iron flows out.

The two torpedo trucks keep going back and forth to transport the molten iron to the workshop for steelmaking.

This is the most incredible picture of the human industrial desert, and it is also an unimaginable picture for countless people.

This is hope.

This is also light!

The light that symbolizes the future of China!

Now, the 24-hour trial production has been carried out for 23 hours and 10 minutes, and there are still 10 minutes before the trial production stage will end.

The traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of fear of insufficient firepower is about to be finished, and the rest is to boil the medicine.
