"Huh? What about Director Xu? When all the heads of various departments of the arsenal arrived, Foreman Qi was a little surprised to find that Director Xu was not here.

The other responsible persons also had obvious doubts on their faces, thinking about it carefully, it seems that they saw Director Xu during the test today, and after Liu Gen had a problem, no one looked at Director Xu again, what the hell is going on? Could it be that Director Xu has encountered any danger, but with the strength of the arsenal, he should not encounter danger.

"Let's wait a while, maybe Director Xu is still busy." There was a moment of silence, and someone spoke.

Naturally, everyone present did not have any opinions, and without Director Xu here, it was not easy for the meeting to start directly. The meeting of the arsenal still needs Director Xu to be here to start, and without Director Xu here, it will seem a little unjustifiable.

While waiting for Director Xu, Liu Gen kept writing and drawing with his head down, with some problems in rocket artillery that he had summarized.

Half an hour later, Director Xu had not returned to the office, which made Liu Gen and others realize that something was obviously wrong. Engineer Qi and the others could see obvious nervousness on their faces, Director Xu couldn't have a problem, after he took over the arsenal, the arsenal has been constantly developing.

In the development of the arsenal, Director Xu has done a very good job, without Director Xu, it will undoubtedly be much more difficult to find a suitable person to take over the arsenal.

"Engineer Qi, why don't we go find Director Xu? Ask the workers of the arsenal, maybe they know the movements of Director Xu. Liu Gen was also a little worried that something was wrong with Director Xu, so he couldn't help but speak.

Foreman Qi hesitated, and now he can't be sure whether there is a problem with Director Xu, if there is no problem, he can directly ask the workers of the entire arsenal, which can easily make the arsenal chaotic. However, if Director Xu really has a problem, the sooner he can determine the movement and location of Director Xu, the better he can ensure the safety of Director Xu's life.

"No, I'm back." Just as Foreman Qi was about to speak, Director Xu's voice sounded outside the door, and there was a little tiredness in his voice.

Liu Gen and the others hurriedly got up and looked out the door, they could see Director Xu who looked tired, and they could also see a boss who followed the factory director, the deputy chief of staff from the headquarters.

"Sit down, it seems that the situation is not as bad as Director Xu said." The deputy chief of staff walked into the office with a smile, his face was amiable, and he looked very gentle and elegant.

Liu Gen looked at the deputy chief of staff with some excitement, he had always heard about the deeds of the deputy chief of staff. The establishment of the Huangyadong Arsenal has a lot to do with the deputy chief of staff, and it can even be said that without the deputy chief of staff, then it is impossible for Huangyadong to have such a great development.

The predecessor of the Huangyadong Arsenal, the Eighth Route Army Headquarters Repair Factory, was formed by the deputy chief of staff, among which the site selection of the Huangyadong Arsenal, the construction of machine tools and equipment, and defensive positions are inseparable from the deputy chief of staff. Liu Gen has always wanted to see the deputy chief of staff, and he thought that when he did, he would have a chance to meet at the headquarters.

But who would have thought that Director Xu would invite the deputy chief of staff? Looking at Director Xu who looked tired, Liu Gen was a little ashamed, he knew that the deputy chief of staff could come to the arsenal because Director Xu personally went to the headquarters to invite him. The headquarters has a lot of things to deal with, and the work of the deputy chief of staff is even more arduous, even if the headquarters attaches great importance to the Huangyadong Arsenal, it is unable to spare too much energy to pay attention.

"What? Aren't you tired of standing? Comrades, sit down. ”

"This time I came to the Huangyadong Arsenal because you Director Xu personally went to the headquarters, so you had to let me come and take a trip. On the way, I also understand the relevant situation, so let's talk about the specific problems of rocket artillery. After the deputy chief of staff took the lead and sat down, he began to speak directly.

Liu Gen was slightly stunned, he was a little surprised, the deputy chief of staff actually knew him? Liu Gen, who had just sat down, stood up again and behaved very calmly.

"Chief of Staff, Factory Director, Foreman, there are many problems with rocket artillery, and if these problems are not solved, then the arsenal will not be able to produce rocket artillery on a large scale." Liu Gen got up and said.

Without waiting for Foreman Qi and the others to ask, Liu Gen took out his notebook, which recorded the problems he had found.

"Let's take a look at this notebook, it is some of the questions I recorded about rocket artillery."

"There are three important factors restricting the large-scale production of rocket artillery in the arsenal, and I will roughly say that after everyone understands, we will discuss the solution."

"First, if you want to mass production, you need to solve the problem of rocket propellants. When I made rockets, I chose to use nitrocellulose as propellant, and if I made it myself, I could also ensure that the error of the burning rate of nitrocellulose was controlled within a certain period of time. But if the workers are producing it on a large scale, then there is no guarantee that the nitrocellulose will burn at a consistent rate. ”

"When we were conducting a test launch, one of the rockets had a slight deviation in its trajectory due to the quality of nitrocellulose. Again, this is due to my own hand, and if it were someone else, the deviation would be even more severe. ”

Foreman Qi and the others frowned, they didn't know much about nitrocellulose, but they also knew the specific role of nitrocellulose, and they could all understand what Liu Gen meant. Without Liu Gen, the quality of nitrocellulose production cannot be guaranteed, and it is naturally impossible for Liu Gen to make nitrocellulose all the time.

The deputy chief of staff picked up a pen and carefully wrote down the questions Liu Gen said, and on the way, he learned from Director Xu how powerful the rocket artillery was. Even if the deputy chief of staff has not seen the power of rocket artillery with his own eyes, he believes that Director Xu will not lie about this kind of thing, otherwise Director Xu would not attach so much importance to it.

"Second, the quality of the steel in our arsenal is still insufficient, and according to the barrels we produce now, I am afraid that it can only be used less than twenty times at most, and if it is more, it is easy to be dangerous. Every salvo of rocket artillery is burning money, even if I designed the rocket launcher, the cost of rocket artillery was reduced to a minimum, and we could not afford a large-scale salvo. ”

"Thirdly, the amount of gunpowder needed to make rockets is not a small amount, and according to our gunpowder production, it is simply not enough to meet the needs of large-scale rocket artillery."

"Of course, there are many other small problems, and I have carefully recorded them in my notes, so you can take a look."

……

After Liu Gen said all the questions, the office became very quiet, and Foreman Qi and the others did not have any idea of talking, their eyes fell on the notebook in the hand of Director Xu, wanting to see how many questions Liu Gen recorded in the notebook.

The notebook was constantly passed in the hands of Foreman Qi and others, and every time someone looked at Liu Gen's notebook, his face would become more ugly and silent. Liu Gen didn't write much in the notebook, but after seeing the notebook, Engineer Qi and the others would clearly understand how many problems needed to be improved in the arsenal.

The arsenal has been developing, and Foreman Qi also knows that the arsenal is a little backward, but they are still somewhat proud to be able to develop the arsenal to this extent. But now, Foreman Qi and the others found that their efforts were not enough, the conditions of the arsenal were still too poor, and there were too many problems that needed to be solved.

"Comrades don't need to be so frustrated, the foundation of our arsenal is weak, and it is already very good to be able to develop to this extent in two years."

"Now the conditions of our arsenal are very poor, but compared to when the arsenal first started, the conditions are much better. Comrades, difficulties are only temporary, and a bright future will certainly be realized with the joint efforts of everyone. By that time, we will have more arsenals, and we will have an extremely complete industrial system. ”

"We don't have the means to produce rocket artillery on a large scale, but this doesn't mean that we won't have such capabilities in the future, and when the conditions are sufficient, then we can produce as many rocket artillery as we want." The Deputy Chief of Staff stood up and spoke to encourage everyone present.

The eyes of the deputy chief of staff were full of hope, and the Eighth Route Army had experienced too many hardships in the process of development. But looking back at the hardships of the Eighth Route Army when it was first established, and the current situation of the units of the Eighth Route Army, there are too many improvements. If it can start from scratch, then the arsenal will definitely develop for the better, the deputy chief of staff believes that the heads of the arsenal present at the scene.

Liu Gen and the others looked at the deputy chief of staff with some enthusiasm, they knew that what the deputy chief of staff said was right, hardship will only be temporary, as long as the arsenal can continue to develop, then it will inevitably become better and better.

"I still remember when the Huangyadong Arsenal was first established, the conditions of the arsenal were very poor, there were only old workers like Qi Gong, and there were only a dozen machine tools. But what about now? Our Huangyadong Arsenal has changed a lot, there are dozens of machine tools, the number of workers has increased several times, and there are a lot of high-quality students. ”

"Old workers, there are all kinds of old people sitting in the arsenal, and the bosses are very relieved. Young people, with such excellent young people, they are the hope of the future of the arsenal, the bosses have great hopes for these young people, and they also hope that one day the arsenal can become better with the hard work of more young people. ”

“……”

The deputy chief of staff said a lot, and swept away the frustration that it could not be mass-produced due to many problems with rocket artillery, and with the encouragement of the deputy chief of staff, Liu Gen and others in the office were once again full of fighting spirit. After the end, the deputy chief of staff left Liu Gen behind and talked a lot with Liu Gen. This time the deputy chief of staff was able to come to the arsenal, and Liu Gen accounted for a large reason.

The CEOs of the headquarters all know Liu Gen clearly, and they all know how many merits Liu Gen has made, compared with other young people, Liu Gen is undoubtedly extremely special. It can be said that the bosses value Liu Gen very much, and they believe that the Eighth Route Army will become different because of Liu Gen's existence.

When Liu Gen learned from the deputy chief of staff that the bosses attached great importance to him, he was very surprised, he knew that he would get a certain amount of attention from the bosses, but he didn't expect to receive so much attention. Liu Gen was a little moved, he could get the attention of the bosses, he could only work harder in the future to live up to the bosses' expectations of himself.

Since there are still many matters to be handled by the deputy chief of staff at the headquarters, the deputy chief of staff cannot stay in the arsenal at night, so he needs to hurry up and return to the headquarters.

Seeing the deputy chief of staff leave the arsenal, Liu Gen and the others returned to the arsenal to rest, but tonight, I'm afraid few people will be able to fall asleep.

Liu Gen stayed in his room, still lighting an oil lamp, he didn't know if Foreman Qi and the others would be able to fall asleep, but he couldn't sleep himself. Recalling the conversation between the deputy chief of staff and himself, Liu Gen still couldn't help but be a little excited, who would have thought that he would have the opportunity to talk to the deputy chief of staff alone?

Sitting at the table, Liu Gen took out his notes and recorded them on it, he wanted to record what happened today, hoping that he could remember everything that happened today. In the years to come, Liu Gen can be sure that there will be a lot of mistakes, and whenever Liu Gen has a problem, he wants to think of what happened today.

Under the faint light of the oil lamp, Liu Gen kept recording, he was very serious, and he tried his best to write when he wrote.

After recording all of today's events, Liu Gen took out another notebook and recorded some thoughts on the development of the arsenal. After clearly understanding the conditions of the arsenal, Liu Gen knew that the next task was to take the lead in developing the arsenal. Only by perfecting the industrial system in the anti-Japanese base areas through the arsenal can we ensure that such a thing as today will not occur again in the future.

After Liu Gen recorded all the things he thought of, it was almost early in the morning, and seeing this, he had no idea of resting. With Liu Gen's physical fitness, if he doesn't sleep occasionally, it won't have any effect. At least now Liu Gen feels that he is in a very good state, and after playing a set of Bajiquan, the whole person is even more energetic.

On this day, Liu Gendu stayed in the artillery department, constantly improving the problems existing in the rocket artillery, and in the evening meeting, he once again took out his notebook and got the support of Director Xu and others.

After experiencing the manufacture of rocket artillery, Liu Gen's whole person became more mature and stable, and after clarifying the future development plan of the arsenal, his mentality became unhurried and impatient. With the efforts of Liu Gen and others, the arsenal changes every day, and one day, the arsenal will develop into what Liu Gen imagined.

In July, the raids of the devil troops in the anti-Japanese base areas became more and more frequent, and the situation of the units of the Eighth Route Army became worse. During this time, under the frantic sweep of the devils, the troops of the Eighth Route Army also inevitably suffered certain casualties, and it was difficult to hear good news coming back from the front line.

The CEOs of the headquarters are all aware that in the next one to two years, the development of the anti-Japanese base areas will enter a 'cold winter', and the intentions of the devils are too obvious!
