Siheyuan: Shazhu's Brother Shadan

Chapter 104: Northern Shaanxi Arsenal

At this time, he and Mingyue had already arrived in northern Shaanxi. As soon as they arrived in northern Shaanxi, they felt like they were at home and were warmly welcomed by the Eighth Route Army and its civilians.

This looks like home.

At first glance, it’s all a sea of ​​red, a taste of home.

The tense nerves along the way also calmed down.

After a long and dusty journey, Shadan finally arrived at the headquarters in northern Shaanxi.

The scenery there is desolate and magnificent. Under the sky of the Loess Plateau, the flames of revolution are quietly spreading.

First, he went directly to the headquarters in northern Shaanxi and met with many leaders.

It wouldn't be a waste to meet so many leaders, so I asked Mingyue to get a camera from somewhere and take photos with them one by one.

What happened next was that the leaders studied his work.

He was invited into a simple cave, which was the residence of the leaders.

The room was filled with smoke and an oil lamp flickered, illuminating several serious and intelligent faces.

Shadan's heart beat faster, he knew that this would be a new starting point in his life.

"Comrade Shadan, you are finally here." It was Chief Zhang who spoke. His voice was steady and powerful, as if it could penetrate the dullness of the loess all around.

"We have decided that you will be in charge of the work of the Shaanxi-North Arsenal."

Shadan straightened his back. Despite the fatigue of the journey, his eyes were shining with determination. "Yes, Commander, I will live up to your expectations."

"Very good." Commander Zhang nodded and added, "Your other appointment as deputy director of the institute will be put on hold for now. We need you to take care of the arsenal matter first. We will make other arrangements for the institute."

Shadan understood that this was a test for him, but also a sign of trust in him.

He did not hesitate at all and immediately got down to work.

The next morning, he was taken to the arsenal, a secret place hidden in a valley.

This place used to be a barren land, but now it is bustling with machines and workers are busy and orderly.

Shadan looked at those rough hands and determined faces, and a feeling of respect welled up in his heart.

He knew that every screw and every gun barrel carried the hope for victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan.

The terrain in northern Shaanxi is complex and diverse, mainly consisting of the Loess Plateau, Mu Us Desert, Weibei Dry Plateau and other landforms.

The climate here is dry and water resources are scarce, but the land is fertile and suitable for agricultural production.

But for the people working in the arsenal, they do work in the worst and most severe environment.

In addition, the natural environment in northern Shaanxi, especially in the area near the Mu Us Desert, is even harsher.

Working in such an environment, workers not only have to face extreme weather changes, but also have to overcome difficulties such as water shortages and poor soil.

Many people stayed on this land forever.

The war of resistance was not only fought by the soldiers at the front, but also by the people in the rear. The only difference was that they were fighting against the natural climate and diet.

Due to the destruction caused by war and the shortage of supplies, the arsenal facilities in northern Shaanxi were relatively simple.

Many factories lack advanced machinery and technical support, and workers can only rely on manual operations and simple tools to complete production tasks.

In some factories, even traditional hand forging and manufacturing methods are used.

In the early days of the war, the arsenals in northern Shaanxi faced a shortage of professional talent.

Due to the impact of the war, many technicians and engineers were unable to reach northern Shaanxi, and the factory could only rely on local farmers and workers to carry out production.

These workers lack professional skills and knowledge and need to gradually master production skills through training and practice.

It was from scratch that we slowly built up this small factory with many skilled technicians.

The working conditions of the workers in the factory were also very difficult.

They need to work long hours, often more than ten hours a day.

Due to the simple factory facilities, workers also face harsh working environments such as high temperature, dust and noise.

In addition, due to the shortage of supplies, the workers' living conditions were very difficult. They often could only eat simple food and live in simple dwellings.

Despite facing such harsh environment and conditions, the workers in northern Shaanxi still demonstrated a heroic fighting spirit.

They were not afraid of hardships or dangers and made tremendous efforts and sacrifices to defend the dignity of the motherland and the nation.

With their hands and wisdom, they made indelible contributions to the victory of the War of Resistance.

Should there be a salute here? When Shadan saw this scene, he stood at attention and saluted all the workers in the arsenal present.

Originally, Shadan only relied on the knowledge from his previous life to broaden the minds of the people responsible for manufacturing and producing weapons, and he thought he could continue to talk.

There are two difficult problems before him now. One is the natural climate problem. The first thing Shadan has to fight is to overcome the weather, and the second is the problem of food and drink.

Then there is the question of the arsenal.

But his order was obviously wrong. When they started work on the first day, these workers were only thinking about how to make the parts and weapons needed by the arsenal, and did not think about their own safety and food at all.

This was something that made him blush, and what was even more ironic was that more than a dozen workers collapsed on the first day.

If things continue like this, this arsenal will go bankrupt within three months.

Since he was appointed as the director of the Shaanxi-Gansu Arsenal, he must make changes.

I didn't do anything on the first day, just watched all day, with the bright moon beside me.

Only after meeting the leader did he realize that Mingyue was his personal bodyguard, who was also in charge of his three meals a day and sleeping arrangements. Fortunately, he was young, otherwise he would have easily thought of something wrong.

So the recording task was handed over to Mingyue. No matter how important it was, he would save trouble as much as possible. After all, he had only discovered the problem now, and changing the problem would be his real step.

After a day's visit, he understood the overall situation of the arsenal.

Now the arsenal can only produce light weapons including rifles, pistols, machine guns, grenades, as well as heavy weapon accessories such as artillery shells and shell casings.

The output is not satisfactory.

The key is how fast can it be if it is polished by hand!

So the top priority now is to manufacture assembly lines, especially the most important machine tools.

Only by producing machine tools can we truly realize the arsenal of automated assembly lines.

If we don't just rely on these people to keep grinding, more people will be sacrificed on the battlefield due to lack of guns and bullets.

When will Van Vorte's ammunition be available? Will we be beaten to the ground by the United States in the Korean War in the future?

Those special heroes who emerged were all forced to do so. If given a choice, who would have exerted several thousand percent of their strength to fight this war?

So, here comes the idiot.

“Can I transfer some of these workers to do other things?”

It was a very ordinary sentence, but everyone looked at him with their eyes fixed on him, as if he were an alien.

Well, it seems that no one can borrow it here.

Since there is a shortage of food and clothing here, let's create food.

Since there are no machine tools here, create them.

Since the weather here is bad, let's improve everyone's environment.

But there is a prerequisite for doing this - you need people, a lot of people.

And there is someone here, Shadan, who has unleashed 1,000% of his strength.

The next day, Shadan got up and called Mingyue, led a thousand people to a corner of the valley, and ordered them to dig as much land as they could until twenty-four hours were up.

As for Mingyue's shocked look, Shadan ignored it and began to study how to open the canal to solve the current dilemma. After all, the environment in this place is too dry.

Through yesterday's observation, I found that there is indeed a river in the distance, but unfortunately it does not pass through here. Now it is just a matter of bringing it in.

So they came back and asked these heroic troops carrying explosives to bury explosives at various excavation points. After an explosion, they began to clear the rubble. In this way, the prototype of a canal was formed. The next problem was to divert water.

This chaotic explosion also attracted the attention of the people in the arsenal, who thought that the enemy was launching a sneak attack. As a result, when they came out to look, they found that the factory director had got so many troops from somewhere, and they were opening up the fields and bringing in water channels.

The deputy director quietly took Shadan to the side and said, "Director, our rations are all fixed. With so many people, we don't have much food to supply them!"

Hearing this, Shadan smiled and said, "Don't worry about this matter. I have a plan."

"what!"

The confused deputy factory director didn't know how to leave. Mingyue couldn't stand it anymore and had many questions in her mind: "Is it okay for you to bully honest people like this? Can you tell me where these people got them from? Don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped and I won't tell you!"

As a result, Shadan rolled his eyes in return, and Mingyue was so angry that she cursed Shadan.

The canals have been dug and the land has been reclaimed. The next step is to wait for spring to come and the flowers to bloom.

The next problem is to solve the production problems of workers. Machine tools are the standard of modern assembly lines.

With machine tools, everything can be easily solved.

Do you still remember what Shadan did before he was reborn?

A commoner, a commoner who works from nine to five.

Unfortunately, he worked in a military factory and was an engineer.

He may not be able to make advanced machine tools, but he can easily make small machine tools. As long as he moves his mouth, he can make a team of heroic spirits that are in tune with his thoughts. He cannot make difficult ones, so simple ones will do.

He immediately discussed with the deputy factory manager about preparing to work overtime at night, only to learn that all the workers were working overtime for 24 hours, that is, two shifts, twelve hours each.

There is no time for them to rest at all.

Even when people rest, the tools in their hands will not rest.

Well, since there is no factory, I will build a small factory myself. Anyway, I have my own people. But materials are a problem. Fortunately, no one should be caring about logging at this time.

On the third day, Shadan summoned another thousand people. Mingyue had been keeping an eye on Shadan these days, so when she saw him suddenly summon a thousand people from the corner again, the look in her eyes when she looked at him changed completely.
