In the early morning of August 3, while still waiting for the order, the Governor of the Machinery Industry Bureau, Da Yan, inspected the workshops of various sections of his machinery factory.

The mobilization order to fully support the volunteers to fight in Hehuang has been issued, and in addition, the jurisdiction of the enterprise is not in Funing County, so the situationism has long been gone, except for the foreign affairs personnel of two factories to accompany the inspection, the rest of the workers have already canceled their vacations, worked overtime, and did not need to stop working to please Wang Yan.

The Shenwu artillery section is in full swing, and pot after pot of molten iron is poured into the sand mold precisely made by the abrasives with the help of the semi-mechanical production line.

In the booming sound, the 2.1 version of the steam engine is running stably and well, driving and boosting the efficiency of all sections of the factory.

Such a production atmosphere is still quite inspiring for the evil military party.

However, it is useless, Wang Yan carefully observed the first "production version of the Shenwu Cannon" off the assembly line today, and he was a little deflated, this is too heavy, unless it is a positional battle supported by the base, it is very difficult to apply and maneuver.

Lao Luo's father also came, and explained to Wang Yan beside him: "My lord, for the time being, for the sake of cost and output, I can't make it lighter. Even if we have technical accumulation, and the latest improved version 2.3 boring machine, the barrel does not need to be synthesized and welded, but in order to pursue the mass production of efficiency, the scale of the material is still not up to standard, after repeated tests in the early stage, if the barrel is too thin to reduce weight, the explosion rate will be very high, for which my machinery factory has also had several casualties. ”

Wang Yan sighed and nodded helplessly.

At that time, more than 30 Shenwu guns in Funing County's offensive and defensive warfare were not this mass production process, but after the overall formation of a new type of Song Iron and Steel No. 7, which had a very high cost, the forging hammer system was used for cold-pressed forging as a whole, and then the boring machine and the technician's manual knife intensive processing, after the forging hammer system, its own quality was close to the boring drill bit and the technician's work knife, so in addition to the low efficiency to unbearable direct viewing, it was simply the destruction of countless processing equipment regardless of the cost.

At that time, it was with that kind of investment that he won the offensive and defensive battle of Funing County, and then contributed to the victory of the Yulin estuary.

But now obviously can't do this, in fact, this batch version of the heavy artillery is an order from North 1 Beijing, and the Beijing branch has not yet been completed when the order is placed. This batch of heavy artillery was specially approved, in order to guard against the movements of the northern Liao State in this special period.

As a military lover party, the thicker the barrel, the more righteous it is, even if it is not used by himself, Wang Yan is now shocked, looking at another section, the diameter of the cannonballs poured out by these old lewdmen is quite evil, it is a thirty pound cannonball, and it is very laborious for Wang Yan to hold this weak chicken.

Now this thing looks even more stupid and coarse, damn evil is a bit evil, but this thing can't be used as a field cannon at all, that is to say, it can't be used in the Hehuang area for the time being.

There is no technical problem in the development of small guns suitable for field maneuvering, but only whether they are needed or not, and the cost. So after talking about some suggestions, there is no hurry, the current first phase of the volunteer army is not needed for the time being, and it must be gradually needed after gradually stabilizing the Hehuang area before the winter comes, and forming a stable confrontation.

"It's still not obscene enough, we need to develop newer materials, make better boring tools, and more advanced boring machines, and we need three-axis or even four-axis linkage. More special machine tools of various types were developed and the production capacity of steam engines was expanded. For the time being, don't expect the production capacity of North 1 Beijing, it can be seen that in the next three to five years, Beijing's production capacity will not be enough to supply Gyeonggi. Wang Yan said.

Xu Langshan, the director of the factory, couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "Are you sure you want to expand in Yanei?" Now the cost of labor is gradually rising, the investment in school resources is also doubling, seeing that the Song Dynasty volunteers in the Hehuang area have intervened in the war, the border areas may encounter the retaliatory attack of Western Xia at any time, at this time, if my Machinery Industry Bureau continues to bet heavily in Funing County, is it an appropriate decision? ”

Wang Yan waved his hand and said: "There is no appropriate or inappropriate question, give me the ability, build and build, the accumulated technology will not disappear, and there will not be too many trained industrial workers." Western Xia is just a paper tiger, as long as our volunteer army is not defeated in Heyi, there is a high probability that they will not dare to attack the Song realm. Even if there is a black swan event, it will be okay if the Xixia people are really crazy and start a war, everyone is in everything, and when all the personnel are evacuated from the rear to explode production capacity, the industry in Funing County will be over? At the national level, this loss is not even a partial fracture, and I don't have perfect OCD at all. ”

In fact, no one will agree with the big demon king's brain hole, but the momentum is there, and all the big-headed workers stand up after being infected. They feel that they have a lot of face, the big devil is very humane, and he will accept the idea of blowing up the entire industrial base at a critical moment and protecting the retreat of industrial workers?

This is certainly not true, but it also sounds shocking to the workers.

Therefore, Xu Langshan at the scene was extremely embarrassed, and felt that Yanei was afraid that he was drunk and talking nonsense, so he should have written to the capital to announce the complaint to the old Wang Xiang, and hung him up for a lesson.

"Ahem ......" also found out that he was talking nonsense, Wang Yan coughed lightly in embarrassment and said, "That...... When I saw such a stupid black barrel, I couldn't help but want to make a shot, why don't I find a place to put a few cannons on it to make me feel refreshed? ”

Khan, this is another brain hole, now where to find a place to test fire for him, this level of Shenwu artillery test firing has to be pulled very far, in a special area, a special time period, after martial law can be tested, otherwise there are a lot of people in this area now, maybe who will be blown up.

So ignoring the big demon king's brain, Xu Langshan led people to drag the big goose out of the machinery factory, and he was not allowed to affect everyone's production.

Because as long as he is there, the big workers will only gather around to listen to his babbling speeches, sometimes clapping or something......

On August 4, the appointment of the imperial court lady finally officially arrived in Funing County, and Wang Yan added six products, hung the privy decree, and concurrently served as the secretary of the machinery industry, and supervised the volunteer army.

Mu Guiying served as the "head of the Hehuang Xing Camp of the Great Song Volunteer Army".

The Funing military number was officially revoked and reorganized into the "Volunteer Army" number. At the same time, Wang Yan and Mu Guiying's troops were officially authorized to send troops.

These appointments probably mean that Mu Guiying is the military commander of the Volunteer Army, and Wang Yan can supervise the army or call the political commissar. Of course, the political commissar has the final decision, which is the unique treatment of the civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty.

Wang Yan was previously the Governor of the Industrial Bureau, which, according to the bylaws, belonged to the Privy Council, the same as Xiazhou. So Wang Yan is also a natural Privy Council series official, and now the situation allows, after Han Qi's recommendation, Da Yan has also been promoted to a level in the Privy Council series, with the title of "Promise". In layman's terms, it is roughly equivalent to a department head under the General Political Department.

Heroes emerge in troubled times, and the luck situation seems to be slowly getting better again, if you can win the Hehuang War as soon as possible, pass the palace exam, and be promoted to the capital of Chengzhi, or know the Daimyo Mansion is almost a sure thing.

"The beacon fire in the Hehuang area, the evil regime is floating in the east, the corpses are everywhere, the people are in dire straits, our volunteers, with the emperor's order, and the humanitarian priority for liberating the people of Hehuang ......"

The big goose stood independently on the high platform and recited a word, and Mu Guiying, who was anxious, couldn't wait, and pulled the reins of the horse and said: "Departure, at the latest in early September, you must be put into the Hehuang war zone." ”

At this moment, there was an uproar, and a full army began its journey. As for the defense plan of Funing County, Han Qi said that there are other arrangements, and it will be visually determined that Han Qi's henchmen and the Jinning Army in Hedong will divide their troops to take over the defense, and Lu Huiqing will still control it......
