Chapter 809: All kinds of goods
On a new day, the sun rises as usual. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The morning horn broke the tranquility of the forest, and the vast number of officers and men quickly got up at this moment and began their daily routine running exercises.
Last night, my wife and I first came to create a life, and then made some arrangements for Natasha and the youth camp. It's very fulfilling to think back to the whole day yesterday.
It's not all about surviving! In order to be able to defend yourself under the threat of looming war!
Yang Mingzhi got up slowly, the husband and wife had their own important matters, and they could leave after dealing with internal affairs.
With little luggage, Yang Mingzhi went straight to the division headquarters when he went out.
No one wanted to sleep today, and those who should have come gathered in the division office, including Salinchkin himself, who was particularly concerned about the affairs of the fertilizer plant.
Obviously, maybe they are all excited because of today's events, everyone is not sleeping well, one person yawns, and the group is yawning.
Among all of them, only Yang Mingzhi is the most important, and Salinchkin knows that if this fertilizer plant can produce it, he will really make another contribution, and he may be able to get another medal just from the impact it brings. It's just that his mental condition seems to be poor today, but it's actually very understandable that he, the deputy division commander, is too busy these days.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Yevlov did not talk nonsense, and said directly: "Comrades! After a long period of perseverance, we finally waited for this day, and the fertilizer plant began to assume today! Now, I announce, the action begins! ā
There were no crazy cheers, just a group of high-ranking officers, with a calm face, who left the office and went straight to the arsenal with a group of guards and related technicians.
Production at the arsenal continued through the night, and as dawn came, the work of exhausting smoke at night was suspended. The workers on the night shift eat after work, and the workers on the day shift come on time to take over the shift, and everything is as usual.
The only difference is the warehouse where the heavy equipment of the fertilizer plant is stored, and its door is already bustling with activity.
Among the many equipment, large and small pipes are not heavy, and the team of workers responsible for the assembly of the equipment has taken the lead in moving these accessories out.
The real difficulty was the large stuffy tanks, which were the reactors. It is said that it is a large equipment, but in fact, the total weight of the largest furnace is only three or four hundred kilograms.
Its almost cylindrical body allows it to be propelled by human power.
It was rolled off the production line from the foundry and finally transported to this warehouse, and of course it was not only Ryguschkov who organized a team of dozens of people to roll it in like a snowball, but also used a "gantry crane".
All kinds of cranes shall be used for the handling of heavy materials. In the factories of various heavy industries in the Soviet Union, especially in the steel mills, cranes were naturally a must-have. Because of the factors of the times, many of those devices still use steam engines as power, unlike later generations of electricity.
However, even a steam engine was a luxury for Novgomel.
To transport a few hundred kilograms of stuffy tanks to trucks, a crane must be used. Therefore, just as Yang Mingzhi and others came to the arsenal, they saw more than a dozen people, shouting slogans side by side, pushing the largest jar out of the warehouse.
The land in Novgomel was generally soft, and in order for the jar to be pushed away, planks were laid on the intended path of action.
These were the things that Rygushkov was responsible for, and when he saw that the commanders had finally arrived, and with a look of novelty, he hurried over and began to report on his work.
On how to transport the heaviest equipment to the truck, Yang Mingzhi is clear, but Salinchin is full of curiosity.
During his previous visits, he knew very well that at the entrance to the foundry of the arsenal, hidden in a small clearing in the forest, there stood a heavy metal equipment that looked like a gantry crane, which the director of the factory, Riguskov, called a gantry crane.
This completely broke his preconceived notion that it was clearly a powerful crane, but its overall structure was almost like a gymnastics facility in a school, the horizontal bar.
In fact, the nature of the gantry crane is a bit like a giant horizontal bar, its lifting capacity is extremely strong, and the source of power is either strong electricity, or it comes from a horsepower steam engine. Even if Salinchkin did not care much about the industrial development of the Soviet Union, Salinchkin knew that how could this equipment stand alone on a few steel pillars? Where is its power source? Isn't it still manpower? For example, dozens of people pull ropes, stunned to pull up heavy things? It's crazy to think about it.
Answering many of the commissioner's questions, and explaining some things to the other officers, the only thing was how to load a few stuffy cans into a car, and Rigushkov deliberately sold the pass.
With this guy holding his head high, Yang Mingzhi looked angry and funny. This is not only the etiquette that he should have for an officer, but also to show off his ability.
"How we load the car, it is better to ask the chiefs to come and see it in person. Words alone are far less believing. As he spoke, Rygushkov stretched out his right hand and personally acted as a guide to take everyone to see the strange crane.
ā¦ā¦
It was standing right in front of the Arsenal foundry, where several trucks were already parked, because this was the staging point for the operation.
Its appearance is very similar to the general gantry crane, it has four legs deeply stepped on the relatively soft ground, because its weight is relatively large, the whole body has fallen into the mud part. Even so, it was still not stable enough, and there were four three-meter-long steel drills on each foot, which were stuck in the ground.
Even so, its maximum lifting weight is very limited, and Yang Mingzhi has no idea where its limit is, maybe four or five tons? At least a few hundred kilograms of equipment off the ground is perfectly fine.
It will take time to lift the largest stuffy tank, and Yang Mingzhi turned his gaze elsewhere.
The workers would not be at ease in this hurry for a kind of senior officer, and they went about their work step by step.
Small parts are transported here and stacked on a truck.
As for the other trucks, two were parked here, and something special had been piled up on them - burning bricks.
There are not only many charcoal burning workshops but also brick factories near the blacksmith village. The material of the bricks is the most common peat soil in the local area, so the bricks fired are also blackened, and its hardness is harder than the general red clay bricks.
In fact, as a building material, bricks are generally better than wood, especially when made into hollow bricks, which are stronger than woodcarved in the cold winter of Belarus. Due to the current weak industrial strength, these bricks can only be used for further use, such as the base of various tanks and pipes in fertilizer plants.
Salinchkin already knew this very well, and he knew it even more, because of the sulphur mines in the southern hot springs, limestone and sulphur were associated with it, and the lime was processed to become a more reliable cement. The reason why it is reliable is precisely because the rain caused the cement to be damp some time ago, and the products of several sacks were hardened to varying degrees!
There are bricks, there is cement, and there is river sand that separates from the bottom of the Pripet.
The total materials were prepared separately and finally gathered here today. Of course, cement cannot harden in a day, at least it will become indestructible in a short time, and at that time, it will be the day when the fertilizer plant will start.
Now the only thing to do is to wait.
Wait for the workers to push the largest stuffy tank over, pass it through the gantry crane, and load it onto the truck.
