Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry

It was impossible to prevent the brigade commander from fleecing Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong's face instantly turned into a bitter gourd expression.

"Brigade commander, please don't..." To be honest, Li Yunlong hadn't even had a chance to warm up the things Ren Zhong had brought. He immediately realized the enormous significance of those monocular scopes for enhancing the independent regiment's combat effectiveness.

He was just preparing to use Zhang Dabiao's first company as a foundation, drawing sharpshooters from the entire regiment to train a group of snipers.

Who knew that the brigade commander was simply omnipotent? He knew as soon as the framework was set up and wanted to stuff things in to fleece him.

"Li Yunlong, that's enough from you," the brigade commander interrupted before Li Yunlong could finish speaking. "During the training period, I will allow you to send this sniper squad out to take potshots at the Japanese devils, but don't take down the blockhouses on your own for the time being. Headquarters has a major plan. In a few days, an order will be issued, and each regiment will send a group of elite squads to your independent regiment specifically to learn from you how to use the Fei Lei Cannon (the name 'Conscience-less Cannon' was changed after the brigade commander heard it, deeming it too rustic) to attack blockhouses."

As soon as the brigade commander finished speaking, Li Yunlong's face lit up with joy. This guy truly had the face of a dog; Ren Zhong suspected that Li Yunlong would have a place even if he went to Hollywood.

Although this meant that some of his extremely precious monocular telescopes would inevitably be taken away by other regiments, being allowed to send his independent regiment out to fight was much better than being stuck in Yang Village.

To be honest, although engaging in military industrial construction was also very exciting, Li Yunlong still preferred to roam the battlefield.

"Thank you, brigade commander, thank you, brigade commander. Little Li will definitely work hard with the fraternal units to train this sniper and Fei Lei Cannon squad well," Li Yunlong patted his chest and guaranteed loudly.

"You, can't you just focus on building up the Yang Village production base?" The brigade commander shook his head. A general who rejoices at the prospect of war is a fierce general. Now that they had Ren Zhong, and Ren Zhong only recognized Li Yunlong, the brigade commander was thinking about turning the independent regiment into a large production base.

He didn't expect that Li Yunlong, after taking so many benefits, was still so eager for war.

It seemed that he needed to send someone to keep an eye on this kid. The brigade commander secretly made a decision in his heart. Li Yunlong didn't know that a tight rein was about to be placed on him, and he was in a good mood, waiting for the molten iron to come out of the blast furnace.

In a flash, four hours passed. Ren Zhong stared intently at the place where the molten iron would come out, and his mood also began to tense up.

To be honest, he wasn't sure about this thing. He had only created it according to the requirements in the books and after consulting Professor Hu. He had never practiced it in the main plane before.

Not only Ren Zhong, but the brigade commander, Li Yunlong, and others all became nervous.

There was a solemn atmosphere like the eve of a major battle.

Success would change the history of the base area's industrial development.

"It's coming out, it's flowing out!" someone exclaimed.

Only to see the fiery and dazzling first batch of molten iron gushing out from the tapping spout, the molten iron jubilant, flowing like a fiery dragon.

Those soldiers and cadres who participated in the construction of the blast furnace looked at the molten iron, their eyes filled with tears, their passions surging.

A small stream of molten iron quietly flowed into the pre-prepared mold, forming neat cast iron blocks, without the shocking sense of sparks flying that Ren Zhong had seen in the main plane.

"It's done! It's really done!" The brigade commander clenched his fist and waved it hard. Steel was the strongest backing for war. Originally, the base area could only collect scrap metal and risk their lives to pry iron rails on the railway, and the amount of steel obtained was very limited, which led to the ordnance factory's production capacity being unable to support the entire base area's combat needs.

Lack of guns and ammunition meant that more soldiers had to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese devils, which greatly limited the development of the base area.

Now, the first batch of molten iron from Yang Village had come out. Immediately afterward, the fiery molten iron also flowed out of the adjacent No. 2 blast furnace. Soon,阵阵 scorching smoke rose here, and a strong metallic smell began to permeate the surroundings.

"Old Li, what do you want to do? Stay away from the molten iron, be careful of being scalded by the splashing molten iron flowers!" Ren Zhong saw Li Yunlong approaching, wanting to take a closer look at how the molten iron flowed out of the furnace, and quickly warned loudly.

Now, these people didn't have any safety awareness. They didn't know what this flowing molten iron meant at all. Li Yunlong, this curious baby, didn't have any precautions either. He did whatever he thought of, which made Ren Zhong very headache.

It seemed that he had to come up with a set of safe production regulations to teach these part-time workers who were forced to take up their posts.

"Li Yunlong, you brat, you should take a good look. This molten iron is over 1000 degrees Celsius. If it touches you anywhere, that place will be instantly burned away!" The brigade commander understood the situation. He was just excited and didn't pay attention to Li Yunlong's small movements. He came back to his senses at this moment.

"Boss Ren, I think this iron factory is a success. What are your plans next? I think it's best to use molds to manufacture hand grenades or landmines on the spot with the molten iron produced, reducing the waste of our secondary heating." After the brigade commander taught Li Yunlong a lesson, he turned to Ren Zhong and seriously communicated about the next things.

"Brigade commander, this is what I think. Now, the remaining part of the blast furnace is to continuously explore the formula for ironmaking and improve the quality of the iron we produce. We are not only directly producing pig iron, but also going to produce steel. Pig iron is still not enough for weapon manufacturing. We have to make better steel than railway steel so that it can be used for the manufacture of guns and cannons," Ren Zhong said to the brigade commander.

Professor Hu's side had already started working on the process optimization of open-hearth steelmaking. According to Professor Hu, if the scale is not large, it will not take long to complete the optimization. A simple steelmaking production line with a daily output of 50 tons will be built soon, given the current 18-hour work day.

The latest novels are first published on Liu 9 Shu Ba!

"Steelmaking? And also to make steel for guns and cannons? Boss Ren, are you confident in this?" The brigade commander's eyes lit up when he heard this. This was even rarer than iron.

According to the brigade commander's understanding, there was no such production capacity in the whole country, and everything had to be imported.

"About 70-80% sure. We have steelmaking experts in our organization. After finding iron ore and coal mines, I have already sent a message to the organization to start designing steelmaking technology and indigenous steelmaking equipment according to our situation here. Now, some equipment, such as crucibles, can be fired in advance. We have high-quality clay in the base area, and we can use local resources to build this steel plant," Ren Zhong replied.

"That's great. Boss Ren, you can just make any requests you have. Li Yunlong, your main task now is to cooperate with Boss Ren to build this steel plant." The brigade commander immediately expressed strong support.

The last sentence was Ren Zhong's complaint, but when the brigade commander heard it, he really had this idea.

A complete steel plant! If they worked for a year, wouldn't they directly expand several new regiments!
