I am an artillery soldier

Chapter 381 The Crazy Kong Jue

Picking up the shovel that was put aside, Liu Gen shoveled up some coals and put them into the boiler of the steam engine, and soon the fire blazed up.

Liu Gen kept shoveling coals into the boiler, as if he didn't know how tired he was at all. Foreman Qi and the others looked at all this and didn't have any thought of stopping it.Liu Gen was the one who designed the screw forming machine, so he was naturally asked to do this kind of thing. If it wasn't for this reason, then I am afraid that many people in the lathe department would grab the job of shoveling coal into the boiler.

The coal in the boiler is constantly burning, and soon the machine tool is in operation, and the formed steel is placed on the machine tool.It has lived up to everyone's expectations. With everyone's attention, the mechanical screw is formed quickly, but due to the problem of power, the speed of mechanical screw forming is not fast!But even so, it is enough to satisfy everyone present, as long as they can produce mechanical screws, as for the speed, there is not much requirement.

There is no requirement, and it is also because there is no way. With the conditions of the arsenal, steam engines can only be used as power. How high do you want to be?
"We succeeded! We succeeded!" Foreman Qi shouted excitedly as he looked at the continuously working machine tools.

"Success! Success!"

"We can also build machine tools!"

"We will never lack mechanical screws in the future."

"..."

Following Mr. Qi's opening, everyone in the turning department shouted. Everyone knows how hard it is to manufacture this screw forming machine. Now that it has been successfully manufactured and it works without any problems, how can everyone not Excited?Soon some excited workers came to Liu Gen, they threw Liu Gen up vigorously, then caught Liu Gen, and so on.

After nearly half an hour of turmoil, everyone returned to their respective jobs and devoted themselves to their work seriously.

Liu Gen also brought some workers into the manufacture of the bullet reloading machine. Influenced by the successful work of the screw forming machine, everyone was highly motivated.After a whole day, the work of the bullet reloading machine has been advanced again, and the bullet reloading machine can be successfully manufactured in less than two days.

After dinner, Liu Gen checked the machine tools in the lathe department to avoid problems affecting the work.After there was no shortage of mechanical screws, all the mechanical screws that had problems on some machine tools were replaced, and replaced with the mechanical screws produced by the lathe department itself.

Liu Gen has also carefully checked the mechanical screws produced by the screw forming machine, and the precision is still very good. The machine tools made by the workers manually grinding the parts can have such precision, which makes Liu Gen quite satisfied.There is still a lot of room for improvement of such precision mechanical screws, but for the arsenal, such precision mechanical screws are sufficient.

However, Liu Gen still has worries in his heart. The steel used to produce mechanical screws is rail steel, which is not a very good steel. Liu Gen is not sure how long the mechanical screws produced with this steel can last.If there is a better steel to use, then the machine screws produced by the screw forming machine should last long enough.

When he came to the corner of the lathe department, Liu Gen was about to take a nap for a while. During this time, in order to manufacture machine tools, he slept very late every day and woke up very early.Liu Gen's physical fitness is good, but he has always maintained such living habits, and his sleep is seriously lacking.It's just that Liu Gen also knows that he can't rest, and needs to manufacture these two types of machine tools in the shortest possible time, so that the arsenal can reload more bullets and support the soldiers on the front line.

Whenever Liu Gen was sleepy, he would walk out of the lathe department and wash his face with some ice water, so that Liu Gen could persevere.

Now that the manufacturing of the bullet reloading machine has reached a certain stage, the next work will be much simpler, which makes Liu Gen have the idea of ​​rest.It's just that Liu Gen also knew that he couldn't rest for too long. After the workers went back to rest, he worked for another two hours. After another three hours, the workers would continue to work. That is to say, Liu Gen Only a maximum of three hours of rest.

"Huh? Kong Gong, why are you here?" As soon as he came to the corner, Liu Gen saw Kong Jue.

Kong Jue was lying on the ground, drawing with the charcoal pencil in his hand, as if he was drawing a sketch of something.It seems that Kong Jue was too engrossed to notice Liu Gen's arrival. Seeing Kong Jue's concentration, Liu Gen simply came to Kong Jue's side, wanting to see what Kong Jue was painting. .

When he came to Kong Jue, Liu Gen took a serious look. After checking for a while, a hint of surprise appeared on his face. Kong Jue was actually designing a machine tool?It's just that Liu Gen can see that there are some mistakes in the drawings drawn by Kong Jue, but Kong Jue's thinking is worthy of recognition. As long as the problems exist, there will be no major problems with this machine tool.As for the data of the machine tool, it requires a lot of calculations.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Kong Jue looked at the blueprint he had drawn carefully, and murmured in a low voice.

Kong Jue knew that there were certain problems with the machine tool he designed, but he couldn’t find the problem. As for using charcoal pens, it was because he knew that the machine tool he designed had some problems, and he was reluctant to waste it easily. paper and ink.As a top student at Yenching University, Kong Jue has many choices, and his family background is not bad, so he can choose to go abroad.There is no need to come to the arsenal to suffer.

But Kong Jue gave up the idea of ​​going abroad, gave up the good life at home, and chose to join the Eighth Route Army, and devoted himself to the road of killing the enemy to serve the country and save the nation!Kong Jue also entered the national army before, but there, he couldn't see much hope. Withdrawing, always retreating, constantly retreating, can retreat save the country?Kong Jue didn't want to retreat. He knew that there were many people who didn't want to retreat. They joined the army because they wanted to kill the enemy and devils!Not for retreat!

After joining the Eighth Route Army, Kong Jue was assigned to work in the lathe department of the arsenal because he was a top student.

At that time, the arsenal had just been established, and Kong Jue was not a student of related majors.At first, Kong Jue was a little reluctant to stay in the arsenal. He wanted to go to the front line and fight the devils.But in the end, the conversation with Director Cheng made Kong Jue give up the idea of ​​going to the front. As a top student of Yenching University, he can play a greater role in the rear.

What's more, Kong Jue has not experienced professional military training, how can he kill devils on the front line?With courage and passion?
In the arsenal, Kong Jue was trained, and he continued to study hard, and eventually became the group of people with the highest technical level in the lathe department.Kong Jue was very familiar with the machine tools in the lathe department. They were like his children, and any abnormalities could not escape his eyes.After seeing the machine tool designed by Liu Gen, Kong Jue joined the team of manufacturing screw forming machines.

In the manufacture of screw forming machines, everyone has experienced many difficulties, but they have all been overcome one by one.Kong Jue also discovered many problems during the manufacturing process. Now the lathe department can manufacture screw forming machines by hand. With this experience, everyone may be able to manufacture other machine tools.

But Kong Jue knows that there are many areas that can be improved. The significance of the existence of machine tools is to carry out large-scale production. When the number of machine tools reaches a certain amount and a scale effect is formed, the production efficiency is very high.It is good to manufacture machine tools with hand-polished parts, but the efficiency of doing so is too low. Kong Jue wants to change this situation.

In order to solve this problem, Kong Jue thought of designing a machine tool that can produce various parts. With the production efficiency of the machine tool, as long as such a machine tool can be manufactured, the required parts can be produced. The workers only need to assemble these parts. Just get up.The simple drawings drawn by Kong Jue on the ground were the product of his period of time, but after finding out that there was a problem with the drawings he designed, he was stuck here without making much progress.

Looking at Kong Jue who was almost in a state of madness, Liu Gen was a little silent. He didn't know that Kong Jue was designing machine tool physique during this time. If he knew, he would definitely choose to help Kong Jue.With Liu Gen around, Kong Jue's design of machine tool drawings will definitely go much smoother, but because Liu Gen is too busy every day, he doesn't have the energy to pay attention to Kong Jue, so naturally he doesn't know about it.

Liu Gen squatted down, stretched out his fingers, and carefully pointed out the problems on the drawings.

Although the drawings that Kong Jue drew on the ground are crude and blurry, other people may not be able to see the drawings, but in the eyes of people like Liu Gen, they can clearly see that the drawings that Kong Jue drew are What.

"Here? Here?" There was a little blur in Kong Jue's eyes. After a while, his eyes became clear, and he understood!
Kong Jue raised his head, saw Liu Gen beside him, and said gratefully: "Captain Liu, thank you, it wasn't your advice, I'm afraid it will take some time to find the problem."

"You're welcome, and you don't have to be so polite, just call me root." Liu Gen said with a smile.

Kong Jue nodded and wanted to get up, but as soon as he moved, his whole body felt numb. After lying on the ground for such a long time, how could his body not be numb?

Seeing that Kong Jue was about to fall to the ground, Liu Gen quickly stretched out his hand to hold Kong Jue, and slowly helped Kong Jue up, "Move slowly, and it will be fine when you move your body."

It didn't take much time for Kong Jue to recover, and Liu Gen let go only after he returned to normal.Kong Jue was a little excited. After receiving Liu Gen's guidance, he knew the mistakes in his drawings. He wanted to go back and draw all the drawings to avoid any further problems.But now that Liu Gen is still there, no matter how low Kong Jue's EQ is, he still knows that he needs to thank Liu Gen. After all, it wasn't Liu Gen's guidance. It should take some time for him to understand.

"Genzi, thank you." Kong Jue looked at Liu Gen and thanked him earnestly.

Liu Gen looked at Kong Jue, who looked a little unnatural, and could understand Kong Jue's state. Kong Jue was also a genius, and a genius must have certain flaws.Noticing the excitement in Kong Jue's eyes, Liu Gen smiled directly and said, "You don't need to thank me. If you really want to thank me, then go back early and draw the blueprint of this machine tool."

"Okay! I'll go right away!" As soon as Liu Gen finished speaking, Kong Jue ran away excitedly.

Seeing this, Liu Gen's face was full of smiles.

　ps: Thank you Mobile Suit Shenlong Gundam and Flying Wolf for your rewards, thank you very much!
