The first target plane, 230 kilometers southeast of Moscow, Soviet Union.

It is a little far from the front line of the battle between the German army and the Soviet army. Although it is sometimes unavoidable to be threatened by the German Air Force bombers, due to the fuel shortage of the Soviet army, logistics agencies and facilities such as hospitals and warehouses have to accept the risk of moving forward.

This is a small manor in the Tsarist era. The three-storey manor main building has a total of about 70 rooms.Due to the design of the early construction, 50 of the rooms had fireplaces, so after the Soviet army moved in, it was slightly modified, and it became a front-line hospital that could accommodate up to 600 people.

Valentin means health in Russian. I don’t know if it was influenced by this name. Valentin applied for the medical university of the Soviet Union before World War II, and graduated five years before the start of World War II. surgeon.After the start of the Soviet-German War, due to the cruelty of the front-line war and the increasing number of wounded soldiers, Valentin, who was in a hospital in Siberia, was called into the army and became a Soviet medical soldier.

As the war lasted for 3 years, he faced no less than 5 operations every day, which created Valentin's proficient surgical skills, although this "achievement" was not what he wanted. At the beginning of January 1944, because the original director was transferred to the Moscow Central Hospital, Valentin served as the interim acting director of the front hospital.At this time, he was in his temporary office lounge, looking at the death toll statistics table compiled by his assistant, and couldn't help frowning more and more.

"Why did 8 soldiers die today?" Valentin asked his newly promoted assistant and his friend Nikita.

"Because the penicillin ran out the day before yesterday, the new ones have not yet arrived. The wounds of these eight people were infected again, causing sepsis, causing breathing difficulties and..." Nikita replied.

"Eight people were infected in one day? Is there something dirty in the ward or in the hospital?" Valentin expressed his guess.

"It's very possible. The actual situation in the hospital ward is very bad. Because our gauze bandages are becoming increasingly scarce, we wash them and use them after washing. Sometimes because of the large number of patients, we don't even have time to wash them before we wrap them up and use them. Also, many of the soldiers who have come down from the front line have not bathed for two weeks or one month. Even if they have undergone surgery and used clean and disinfected bandages, the germs they carry are enough to induce infection. In the past two weeks, We all rely on the specific medicine of penicillin to forcibly suppress the infection." Nikita himself is good at summarizing and analyzing, which is one of the important reasons why Valentin promoted him.

"When will the next batch of penicillin arrive?"

After hearing this, Nikita just shook his head without saying a word.

"What do you mean?"

"I asked the people in the army's logistics, and they said that due to the shortage of 'trade items', they are temporarily out of stock and need to wait for a few more days."

"What!? Don't they know how many more soldiers here have to sacrifice every day?" Valentin is just 30 years old this year, and his blood for the revolution has not faded. It is hard to believe the great Soviet army , to be so embarrassed, inefficient, and incompetent.

"Valentin, actually..." Nikita hesitated to speak.

"what happened?"

"Look at this." Nikita said as he took out an injection from his trouser pocket, which was used to hold penicillin.

"Nikita, didn't you say it was used up?"

"This wasn't assigned to us by the superiors. It was secretly given to me by a soldier who just came to visit his comrades in hospital."

"what do you mean..."

"You also know that the entire army issued a document a few days ago, prohibiting all troops from trading privately with the Yanhuang Red Party, and requiring all troops to hand over oil paintings, cultural relics, antiquities and other trading items to the logistics department for uniform exchange of materials. If you trade in private , Once the use is discovered, it will be executed immediately. So..."

Hearing this, Valentin already understood what Nikita meant.If I agree with the hospital under my jurisdiction to use penicillin of unknown origin, once it is reported (this is closer to Moscow, unlike the southern battlefield, where Emperor Shan Gao is far away), although I may have saved many people because of this, I will still be inspected Arrested, interrogated, shot.For a while, the office fell into silence.

After a full 2 minutes.

"Nikita, our soldiers are fighting the enemy desperately on the front line, but they don't get the medical treatment they deserve after being injured. This is extremely unfair. You can do it with confidence. I bear it."

"What are you talking about, Valentin, something really happened, and I will be with you then!"

Thus, over time, penicillin consumption gradually increased as hospitals across the Soviet Union defaulted to using “black market” penicillin.

About 400 kilometers away from the Valentin frontline hospital, there is a trading distribution center set up by the Red Party office.This is a warehouse not far from the railway, and there are a lot of penicillin, canned luncheon meat, cigarettes, iron lunch boxes, clothes and other materials in it.Although Moscow has already issued an order, for the Soviet grassroots officers and soldiers who do not know whether they can see the sun tomorrow, they are not afraid of any risks (as for canceling the Red Party trading point, Stalin still cannot make up his mind).For them, being able to save the lives of their comrades-in-arms and officers is more important and priority than anything else.And the most important thing is that after the transaction items are handed over, they will not get penicillin injections and other items of equivalent value. Many urgent supplies have been shipped to other theaters in the name of "deployment" by the logistics department, but what is the actual situation? I don't know.There are only various rumors that people in the logistics department eat luncheon meat every day and smoke filter cigarettes every day.

"Your things are worth 6 points in total." Kang Zhi, a staff member of the Yanhuang Red Party Office, pointed to a few paintings from the Tsarist Russian era and some trinkets for women from the Tsarist Russian era, and said in fluent Russian, "Please choose the one you need. Items exchanged."

"Give me 50 injections (one for 100 points), and exchange the rest for luncheon meat (one for 5 point), um, 30 packs of cigarettes (one for [-] points)." Yevgeny thought that the leader of his hospital was a The old smoker gritted his teeth and said.

"Okay, wait a minute!" Ten seconds later, Kang Zhi brought over a cardboard box, inside which were neatly stacked various supplies exchanged by Yevgeny.

"Thank you!" After counting the number correctly, Yevgeny nodded his thanks and was about to turn around and leave.

"Wait!" Kang Zhi called Yevgeny, and said, "It's too cold outside, take a sip of this before leaving." After speaking, he raised a small wine glass, which contained half a ounce of vodka.

"Ha~~Thank you so much!" Yevgeny hadn't tasted the sweetness of vodka for more than half a year. After drinking it boldly, he smacked his lips and praised loudly: "Kang, you are really a good person!"

"Haha, thank you, you are welcome to come often in the future!"

"must!"

After Yevgeny left, Kang Zhi neatly put the paintings and trinkets into special wooden boxes, and then transported them back to the country when the transport convoy arrived.

Three northeastern provinces of Yanhuang, Shenyang Tiexi District (Oriental Ruhr Industrial Zone).

Thousands of factories here are now in full swing for large-scale production to meet the urgent material needs of the Yangtze River north and south of China and the Soviet Union abroad.Because there are a large number of industrial equipment left by the Japanese pirates here, and the workers in the three northeastern provinces of Yanhuang and Huang are very accustomed to the use of these equipment and the process flow, so Wang Fan did not completely deny the little devil's "backward" production technology as soon as he came up.Instead, only a few heavy industrial factories that polluted too much were eliminated, and then the original equipment of other factories were properly modernized, so as to realize "mechanical automation". In the history of World War II, the Soviets "exploded" tens of thousands of vehicles The fundamental magic weapon of the t34 tank.

Inside a factory in Tiexi District.

At this time, the place is steaming hot, and the workers are in the factory workshop. Not only can they not feel the cold temperature outside at all, but they are sweating profusely.This is because the large boiler on the far left of the workshop emits huge high-temperature heat energy, warming every corner of the workshop.

This is a mechanical automation production line after Wang Fan's transformation. Through the high temperature of 1500 degrees generated by coal combustion, the raw materials in the boiler, which are composed of quartz sand, soda ash, limestone, dolomite, alumina, feldspar and other minerals, are melted. Decomposition is fully reflected, thus becoming a semi-liquid and semi-solid red substance.The red substance shuttles and flows at high speed in the high-temperature-resistant steel pipe, and then falls from the vertical diversion steel pipe. Every time a piece falls out, the large iron pliers arranged behind the vertical steel pipe will automatically close once in an instant, thereby closing the The red substance is equally spaced and cut off in turn.

The cut off red substance falls into the steel casting mold directly below, and in just 2 seconds, the closed casting mold blows the red substance through high-pressure gas, and then cools down rapidly to form a translucent Beautiful plain float glass mugs.After the cup is formed, the casting mold quickly rises and reverses, and the cup is placed on the non-stop assembly line conveyor belt next to it, and then returns quickly to prepare for the next glass cup.

Due to the realization of all mechanical automation, and the unique durability and durability of mechanical equipment, it also ensures the "skin" and easy maintenance of the production line, which makes the labor intensity of workers in each class drop suddenly, which is different from the original manual labor. Stupid and hardworking, both the output and quality are incomparable, and the efficiency has been increased by more than 40 times.

And if you want to change the shape of the glass, you only need to replace the casting mold, which is very convenient, fast and trouble-free.So when Wang Fan asked Yadea to help him transform the production line.The Yanhuang workers who entered the workshop again for production were completely shocked.The workers' admiration for the skills of the "experts" who have "leaved" and rushed to the next city has also aroused their enthusiasm for learning by doing. Every day after work, they will use all their time to look at the technical drawings of the production line , absorb the design ideas and knowledge inside, and gradually understand the mysteries of modern mechanical production.At the same time, he has the most profound understanding and recognition of the term "sharpening a knife without cutting firewood" and "industrial system design".

Labor creates value, but technology is the primary productive force!
