Expedition to Europe

Before this, Lan Fang's workers had to work more than 10 hours a day.

Lan Fang did stipulate an eight-hour work system, but in actual implementation, there would always be various overtime situations.

And this overtime was not passive overtime for the workers, but active overtime.

Once a poor and weak nation has the opportunity to rise, how much energy the people will burst out, people in peacetime simply cannot imagine.

Qin Zhiyuan remembers that when the time came to the 21st century, there were still people who missed the period when the country was just founded, and the most frequently mentioned word was "spirit".

Yes, it is "spirit". People don't miss the life at that time, they don't miss the policies at that time, they miss the mental state of people when the country was just founded, that kind of high-spirited, hardworking, and positive mental state.

Perhaps in the 21st century, people are making more and more money, and their lives are getting better and better, but people's spiritual life has gradually begun to become empty. There was a time when the country proposed to "grasp both spiritual civilization and material civilization, and both hands must be strong". But in fact, it seems that the construction of spiritual civilization is obviously lagging behind.

Before Qin Zhiyuan traveled through time, the consequences of neglecting the construction of spiritual civilization had already emerged. The invasion of various "Korean Waves, Japanese comics, and American dramas" caused ideological confusion and lack of faith in society, and the openness of the Internet made all this semi-out of control.

Qin Zhiyuan didn't want this to happen, so the "Daily News" was intentionally or unintentionally promoting the Chinese civilization history of 5,000 years, the glorious cultural achievements in Chinese history, and the traditional Chinese courtesy, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom, trustworthiness, gentleness, courtesy, frugality, loyalty, bravery, filial piety, and integrity.

At present, Lan Fang is still dominated by the "Daily News". The newspapers published by the "Daily News" have covered every corner of Lan Fang. In this era without computers, televisions, or even radios, such subtle influence has played an amazing role.

What happened in Factory 104 is just a microcosm. Such things happened in almost every corner of Lan Fang.

When the experience of the "Minnan" spread throughout Lan Fang, almost every Lan Fang person asked himself: What can I do?

The Daily News gave the best answer: Doing your job well and contributing to the construction of Lan Fang is the greatest contribution that every citizen of Lan Fang can make to the country.

If it comes to individuals, all the workers can do is work overtime.

Use overtime work to contribute to the construction of Lan Fang.

So Factory 104 extended the working hours again and rushed the work in a nearly self-abuse way.

"... As long as we build Factory 104 and can produce military supplies, when the Japanese make trouble next time, our army can go to war with the Japanese and get all our face back..." Ning Gaofei stood in front of the factory to encourage the workers.

"... Decades ago, the Japanese began to bully us Chinese. Now, the Japanese want to bully us Lan Fang again. We will never agree!" Ning Gaofei raised his arms and shouted.

"Yes, no!"

"Never agree!"

"Build Factory 104!"

"Kill the little Japanese!"

Countless responses responded in a mess, and the voices gradually gathered into one.

"Long live Lan Fang!"

Long live!

It really resounded through the heavens and the earth.

Perhaps building one 104 factory is not enough for Lan Fang to defeat the Japanese, but if more than a dozen, many, countless 104s are built, they will definitely be able to defeat the Japanese.

"Tang, I'm a little worried..." Jeffrey Defoe pulled Tang Zhengyang, who rolled up his sleeves and jumped for the test.

"What?" Tang Zhengyang said simply.

"Before this, our workers have worked for more than 10 hours, and all of them are high-intensity labor. If we continue to extend the working hours, I'm afraid the workers' bodies will not be able to bear it. After all, people have their limits." Jeffrey Defoe pointed out the hidden dangers directly.

"It's okay. Look, there are only half of the workers present. The other half must be resting. We are just trying it today. If the method Lao Ning said is feasible, it is worth it even if we work harder! Let the kitchen go to the headquarters tomorrow and bring back some beef and mutton to give the workers extra meals. Let the health team come and be ready to deal with emergencies at any time. We can't discourage the enthusiasm of the workers. As long as we can meet the deadline, it's worth it!" Tang Zhengyang still has his own ideas at the critical moment.

Worth it!

This word is magical. Maybe when we do everything, we will weigh whether it is worth it in our hearts, but there are always some things that are worth us abandoning our inherent prejudices and devoting ourselves to it.

"I can't understand why we have to rush so fast. Isn't it better to lay a solid foundation step by step?" Jeffrey Defoe really can't understand it.

Speaking of which, before the World War, Germany's rise was also full of hardships. The biggest advantage of the Germans is rigor. They always make plans and then implement them step by step. In this process, there will basically be no deviations.

It is precisely because of his 30 years of work experience that Jeffrey Defoe knows the importance of following a routine.

"Jeffrey, if you know the history of our Chinese people, then you will know how glorious the civilization we Chinese have created over the past thousands of years; you will know how proud our Chinese history is. To be honest , even if the former Qing Dynasty was bullied, even if the glory of us Chinese people has been ruined, but We Chinese are still proud. Even if we are forced to bow our bodies and lower our heads, our hearts are still strong. We never think that Chinese are worse than Japanese, and we never think that Chinese are worse than whites, so when we see hope. , Jeffrey, you may not understand how hot the Chinese people's hearts are." Tang Zhengyang had tears in his eyes.

In the "Daily News", there are articles like this to inspire people's morale every day. Every day, propagandists read the newspaper in Factory 104. Of course Tang Zhengyang is literate. Tang Zhengyang may not be able to write an eight-legged essay, but reading and reading There is no problem in reporting.

"Tang, I remind you again, now I am also from Lanfang, so don't use 'we' every time and exclude me. This is very rude behavior. And you have to understand that the reason why I object is not because The behavior of rushing to meet the deadline ruins the original plan, but because it violates the basic laws of objective things, this is a kind of behavior that is counterproductive and is not worth promoting, because in this way, our foundation is not solid, and in the long run It’s no good.” Jeffrey Defoe was dissatisfied, and with good reason.

As a member of the "naturalized people", Jeffrey Defoe attaches great importance to "us" and "you", even to the point of emphasis, as long as someone uses these two words when talking to Jeffrey Defoe If the words are inappropriate, Jeffrey Defoe will always take the trouble to correct them.

"Jeffrey, we are not blindly trying to push things further, we are just speeding up the construction period. Don't confuse the two things." Seeing that Jeffrey Defoe's face was still worried, Tang Zhengyang hugged Jeffrey Defoe's shoulders and said, Give it a few vigorous slaps: "Let's It's about making cannonballs. Of course I know that it's impossible to make cannonballs overnight. What we have to do now is to make cannonballs as quickly as possible, the best cannonballs, and the most cannonballs. This is what we are fully capable of doing. It’s not about trying to encourage growth.”

Compared with Jeffrey Defoe, Tang Zhengyang is also stubborn enough.

"As long as you understand this." After Jeffrey Defoe finished speaking, he also began to roll up his sleeves.

Speaking of which, the workers in Factory 104 now wear a variety of clothes. Some are military uniforms with various military markings removed, some are short coats, and some are work clothes and jeans that are popular in Lanfang. Jeffrey Defoe is obviously more traditional. Some, he was wearing a shirt and overalls, the kind that ordinary German workers often wear.

"Hahahaha... What are you doing? You want to come too?" Tang Zhengyang was delighted with the changes that had occurred in Jeffrey Defoe.

"Of course, come together. If I, the chief engineer, are not here, God knows whether you will install the machine backwards..." Jeffrey Defoe did not intend to stay out of the matter.

"Okay, let's come together and work hard for 30 days..." Tang Zhengyang was in high spirits.

Installing the machines first and then building the factory building, or installing the machines and building the factory building at the same time, this happened in the Soviet period, and the efficiency was indeed greatly improved. Of course, in Lanfang, the efficiency improvement was even greater.

After working for half a night, Jeffrey Defoe and Tang Zhengyang couldn't hold on anymore. They were already quite old and couldn't compare with young men like Ning Gaofei. So Tang Zhengye and Jeffrey Defoe went to rest, leaving Ning Gaofei and the others to continue fighting.

In the early morning, the sun has not yet moved over the valley, so visibility is not high. A thin layer of mist lingers faintly in the valley, water vapor can be smelled in the air, and birds are chirping in the ears. If it were not for the loud snoring, this would be a pleasant morning.

Jeffrey Defoe is in his fifties this year. Every morning, even if no one comes to call him, Jeffrey Defoe will wake up automatically.

As usual, although Jeffrey Defoe was a little heavy from working overtime last night, he still woke up in time.

Jeffrey Defoe worked too late yesterday, so he did not return to his dormitory. Instead, he spent the night in a small tent next to the factory.

When he walked out of the tent door, Jeffrey Defoe was stunned.

Most of the factory building that was just built last night has been capped. No one can be seen outside the factory, but the roar of the machines can be heard faintly. This made Jeffrey Defoe feel energetic. He walked over regardless of his sleepiness. Running in the factory.

In the factory, Tang Zhengyang and Ning Gaofei were concentrating on operating a machine. The machine's speed was even and stable. They cooperated tacitly, and soon, a huge warhead was processed.

"Quality inspection team!" The roar of the machine could not cover Tang Zhengyang's loud voice.

Although Tang Zhengyang's voice was a bit hoarse, it was full of emotion, confidence and pride.

What Tang Zhengyang and Ning Gaofei processed was a 305mm warhead, which is the main gun shell of Lanfang's only battleship "France".

Upon hearing Tang Zhengyang's greeting, four or five workers from the quality inspection team rushed forward and began to measure various data of the warhead.

This is the first artillery shell processed by Factory 104, so all kinds of measurement work must be done carefully.

After a full 10 minutes, the staff of the measurement team repeated the measurement three or four times before loudly announcing: "Completely qualified!"

"Hurray!" The factory suddenly erupted in cheers.

Passed!

Jeffrey Defoe felt that he had to go back and revise the plan.
