Chapter 163: ***** Success Preparation for exiting

When he came to Qingfengzi's laboratory, Zhang Zhimu saw that Qingfengzi and a group of students were looking at things on the experimental table. A student reminded Qingfengzi that Zhang Zhimu had arrived. Qingfengzi straightened up and came over to greet Zhang Zhimu.

Zhang Zhimu said: "Master Qingfengzi must have good news for me!" ”

"Of course! Please Mr. Zhang come and have a look. Qingfengzi led Zhang Zhimu to the experimental table.

Inside a conical flask on the bench, there is some yellow powdery substance.

Zhang Zhimu already had a general feeling in his heart, and Qingfengzi's words confirmed Zhang Zhimu's judgment, "This is *****!" ”

It's really *****, Zhang Zhimu's heart throbbed. Reaching out and picking up the flask, he took a closer look at it and asked, "How much does this weigh?" ”

"I weighed more than 500 grams!" Qingfengzi said.

"More than five hundred grams?" Zhang Zhimu said, "I can blow up your laboratory!" ”

The students around Qingfengzi exclaimed, and Qingfengzi asked, "Is it really so powerful?" ”

"How are you like Master Qingfengzi? Now if we have time, let's try its power together? Zhang Zhimu asked.

"Let's go and try it!" Qingfuzi also wants to know the power of this thing.

Since these students wanted to go and see, Zhang Zhimu asked Li Yunhe to prepare a few more cars and take all the students with him when he called Li Yunhe.

Zhang Zhimu: They carried this bottle of t

t**, when picking up Li Yunhe, asked: "Did you bring electricity?" ”

"Oops! Why are you like an old lady, you can't say it again? Li Yunhe said deliberately.

"You stinky boy, watch you do something." Zhang Zhimu said.

Before a group of them arrived at the shooting range, they heard the sound of heavy artillery "dong dong". Li Yunhe said: "This time Li Wei is enough to shoot cannons!" ”

Li Wei and the others saw Zhang Zhimu and Li Yunhe and a group of them coming, stopped, and came up to meet them. Li Wei deliberately asked: "Mr. Zhang, why do you have time to come to see us today?" ”

"You stinky boy, you don't care about anything when you have cannonballs, and you don't even think about giving me New Year's greetings during the New Year, how can I have time to see you?" Zhang Zhimu said.

"Oops! Didn't I give you a New Year's greeting? Li Wei said: "Look, Uncle Shi is urging us every day to hurry up and get out the artillery firing table, and we are also in a hurry." It's none of my business to go out and fight this time. I'm busy and forget, so don't blame me, Mr. Zhang. Li Wei made a pitiful look.

"I'll keep an account for you!" Zhang Zhimu said: "I'll show you some good things today. ”

At this time, Qingfengzi took out the beaker and handed it to Li Wei, who took it and looked at it. Zhang Zhimu said: "This is the ***** I told you. ”

"Is that it?" Li Wei was surprised.

"This is more than half a catty, you get another half catty of smoke-free ** are buried in the ground at the same depth, let's try the difference between them." Zhang Zhimu said.

Li Wei agreed and Li Yunhe had arranged for someone to put the same weight of smokeless ** and ***** in the bullet casing, and then plugged in the electric **, pulled it out far away, and dug a pit with the same depth far on the ground and buried it.

Everything was ready, Li Wei came over and asked, "Mr. Zhang, it's all right, let's start?" ”

"Let's get started!" Zhang Zhimu nodded and said.

Li Wei waved his hand at his brother and said, "Begin! ”

His brother shook ***, and then pressed it, and he heard a "boom" and a puff of smoke exploded on the ground in the distance.

"It's smoke-free**." After Li Wei finished speaking, he shouted again: "Begin!" ”

In the distance, there was an explosion of "boom", which was much louder than this smokeless **.

Li Wei said, "Oh my God! It's really different. ”

After saying that, he took the lead and ran towards the explosion point. Zhang Zhimu, Qingfengzi and others also ran towards the bombing point together. When I arrived at the explosion site, there was a big gap between the two pits. Li Wei said: "You don't need to look, it's different to listen to the sound." You see, this pit is much bigger than that. With such a **, the same shells are much more powerful. I don't think we can get the current firing table of our artillery, let's get it when we all finish changing the ammunition! ”

"What you should do or how you should do it! This new ** is still early for mass production. Zhang Zhimu said.

Qingfengzi said: "We have almost touched the characteristics of toluene and stupid in the laboratory, and we are building a rectification column, and I estimate that it should be completed in a few months." We need to extract crude benzene from coal tar, and the extraction rate is not very high. However, as long as we can ensure the continuous supply of coal tar, we can mass produce toluene, and we can also produce this new **. ”

Li Yunhe said: "The coking plant on the side of Niutou Mountain in Kaichun can be built, in addition to the scale of this coking plant, it is not technically difficult for us, it can be put into operation this year, and coal tar can also be supplied." ”

"In the future, can our mortar shells also be changed to this new **? In this way, the power can also be increased. Li Wei said.

"Mortars may not work yet, because the ***** is too powerful, and the fragments of the explosion are too small to affect the killing effect. Mortars are killed by fragments, except that they are prefabricated first. In this case, it is not good to produce. However, 120 heavy mortars have some shells that can be used with this **. Zhang Zhimu said: "Our ** can be changed to this **, the weight of ** can be further reduced, but there must be prefabricated fragments." ”

The students who came to the shooting range were very encouraged by the power of the new ** they made with Qingfengzi. This kind of practical work experience is too important for them. Zhang Zhimu was happier than them when he saw them rejoicing. These people are young, enthusiastic and promising. It is the hope of the future of Yaogang.

On the way back, Zhang Zhimu said to Qingfengzi and Li Yunhe: "Let's eat here in Yaogang at noon, and in the afternoon I want to invite Mr. Lu Bingyi, Li Dong and those from our prospecting team in Yaogang to discuss the matter of smelting chromium metal and nickel metal." ”

Qingfengzi said: "Mr. Zhang finally began to think of these things, and I have only studied these things from the periodic table. I really want to study all the elements in the world. ”

"One more thing, I want to work on semiconductors. I'd also like to take a good look at it with you. Zhang Zhimu said.

"That's what you said, something between a conductor and an insulator, right?"

"Yes, if this semiconductor is made, it will affect us more than the tube. I want to ask a few enlightened disciples from you to specialize in this thing. Zhang Zhimu saw that Qingfengzi was not prepared, and said: "I will also bring Yangchang and a few of them who are engaged in digital circuits to come over to participate in the formation of a laboratory." Let them study this together. ”

Qingfengzi thought for a while and said, "I can only give you three people, and all three of them can do things." You have to make good use of them, they are very sensible. ”

"Don't worry! You need to be in charge of this group. Because it's so important and it's complicated. Zhang Zhimu said.

"Alright! I'm also very interested in what you said. Qingfengzi said.

After lunch and a short rest at noon, Zhang Zhimu invited Lu Bingyi, Li Dong and a few people from the prospecting team to come over and sit with Qingfengzi and Li Yunhe to study the matter of chromium and nickel.

When waiting for the others, Zhang Zhimu said to Lu Bingyi, who arrived first: "I have good news to tell you today, Master Qingfengzi has already got the ***** out." In the morning, we went to the shooting range to conduct a detonation test, and the results were very good. ”

"Good news! It seems that our refining business also needs to be accelerated. Lu Bingyi said, "Mr. Zhang, I'm thinking, there are more and more things in our company. There's a lot of stuff that we don't have to meet every month to talk to each other. ”

"That's a good idea," Zhang Zhimu said, "in fact, we can also run an internal reference circular, and regularly inform everyone about the big and small things that the company needs to know in the form of a bulletin." Of course, this notification is limited to the relevant leaders of the company. Zhang Zhimu remembered the internal reference in his previous life.

"Good! It's a good idea. Lu Bingyi said, "This also reminds the cadres who can see the internal reference from time to time that they should always care about the kiln and improve their sense of responsibility." ”

"I will arrange for Yang Yulin to handle this matter personally, and let Editor-in-Chief Fan help with the printing matter." Zhang Zhimu said.

After everyone came, Zhang Zhimu said: "There are a lot of people who came to the meeting today, needless to say, the research is not small. We're going to look at the production of nickel and chromium today. Anyone who has studied chemistry has learned about these two metals in the periodic table. Now we need to distill them. In the future, when conditions permit, we will also refine all the elements in the periodic table. But this metal chromium and nickel metal are what we need right away, and we need to focus on getting them out. ”

After Zhang Zhimu briefly introduced the use of these two metals, he told everyone that the ores of the metal network are generally refined in chromite. Therefore, the prospecting team needs to first look for chromite samples, and then take them back to determine which chromite ore is by Master Qingfengzi.

The smelting of chromium metal is also very complicated, and it can only be treated with soda ash and treated with sulfuric acid to obtain chromium oxide, and then electrolyzed to produce chromium metal.

To be honest, Zhang Zhimu had only heard people say such things, and he didn't know how detailed they were. can only rely on Master Qingfengzi to explore them.

Regarding nickel, Zhang Zhimu knows that there are more sulfides, but there are many more chromium and nickel than lead ore on the earth. When the sulfide is found, it is calcined into nickel oxide, which is then reduced to crude nickel with charcoal, and then electrolyzed into pure nickel if necessary.

The first step in this matter is to go out and look for ore by the prospecting team. Lu Bingyi said: "Our prospecting team needs to expand the team. Each team that goes out to find a mine should have one or two technicians. It is necessary to enlarge the area and collect as many samples as possible. Maybe you'll find some minerals when you come back. ”

Several members of the prospecting team said that the first thing to do when they went back was to expand the team and try to find some people who grew up in the mountains, who were familiar with the situation in the mountains, and it was not difficult to climb the mountains, and most of them could endure hardships.

One of them said: "Mr. Zhang, what should we do last time we published a newspaper and said that we would reward those who found fierce fire oil?" There is really information to inform. ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "This is a good thing, we are waiting." As long as we can be sure that they are not lying, we will deliver on our promises. ”

"I can't be sure!" The man said, "The people who came said that they said that there was a fierce fire oil coming out near Yan'an Mansion, and it is still occupied by Li Zicheng." ”

Zhang Zhimu knew that in his previous life, there were oil fields near Yan'an, but the output was not high. However, compared with the current primary oil in Yaogang, it is enough, and it seems that the reason for the first hit in Shaanxi is more sufficient.

"If we can't be sure, we have to find a way. Can we put on makeup and send someone to follow them over to make sure? Zhang Zhimu said, "I will arrange for someone to protect you, and tell the reporter that as soon as he leads us to the place where they say that the fire oil is out, we will immediately give him silver." If they can bring the oil to our kiln, we will buy their oil. ”

Qingfengzi asked: "Mr. Zhang, do you want to use fierce fire oil instead of coal tar?" ”

"Yes. The production of coal tar is limited, and we have all the fierce fire oil underground. In the future, we will also drill deep wells where there is fierce fire oil, and then the fierce fire oil will spray out like water. Our refineries can be open to production. ”

Seeing today's matter, I have finished researching it. Li Dong said: "Our current ironmaking industry is not just about steelmaking. We need to refine more things. Originally, our electrolytic aluminum and electrolytic magnesium were going to be tested, but we didn't dare to carry out it for fear of having too much impact on the power grid. In the last few days, they have checked the equipment one last time, and they are about to start experimenting. ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "If your aluminum is smelted, the metal complex can also be smelted by thermite reaction. ”

Regarding the matter of semiconductors, Zhang Zhimu said to Qingfengzi: "Recently, if I don't have anything else to calm down, I will sort out the materials and give a lecture to everyone, and then we can study separately." ”

"It's best to wait a few days, we also have to study the matter of air separation, and we really don't care about it." Qingfengzi said.

Next, not only Qingfengzi has no time, but Zhang Zhimu himself also has no time.

Chen Yufeng: The matter of them going north to go on an expedition needs to be accelerated. A new division has been reorganized. The cavalry from Yulin has been reorganized into two cavalry divisions. Now Liu Chenghuang and their twelve cavalry regiments have been reorganized into four cavalry divisions. Each division consists of three cavalry regiments, a transport regiment, a heavy machine gun and artillery regiment, a communications battalion, a police battalion, a sanitary company, and a division headquarters. Two regiments in Yulin were divided into two divisions. The selected older ones were not in good health, and they were all assigned to Liu Chenghuang's teaching group.

The original plan was to get out of the customs with one cavalry division and two infantry divisions. However, after Liu Yun's experience of going out of the customs once, it was decided to change this time to two cavalry divisions and one infantry division. Considering that Li Wei could not go out with him, it was decided to send an engineer regiment to follow. There is also Duan Jingzhong's bridge construction engineering team, which also changed to form an engineer regiment to follow out of the customs. There are several rivers along the way that need to be bridged. This time all the bridges had to be built with wood, which could be used locally. When conditions are available in the future, it will be changed to the construction of cement bridges. They prepared a large number of nails, wires, steel belts and other tools and materials for building bridges. The route of this journey is not going to follow the route that Liu Yun and the others took last time, and that time it was too far away. This time, I decided to build a bridge when I met the river.

20,000 new immigrants followed the team as a transport convoy to deliver food supplies. As the weather warmed up, the supplies on the side of Niutou Mountain began to be transferred to Kill Hukou. The Hukou branch has already prepared a large-scale freight yard. A large amount of supplies soon filled the cargo yard of Killinghukou. The staff of the front station have begun to build a simple residence in the place bought by Yaogang. When the weather warms up, it's time to start building a house.

Zhang Zhimu personally went to all the combat regiments preparing to leave the customs to give mobilization reports to the officers and men, and told them about the history of China, especially the history of China's invasion and killing from the north for thousands of years. The bloody facts and figures made these hot-blooded men swell with vengeful anger. Zhang Zhimu knew that with the weapons in their hands and the determination to take revenge. This expedition will definitely achieve the strategic goal perfectly. That is to fight out, no longer stand up and be beaten!

Ouyang He admired Zhang Zhimu's incitement ability, and even said: "Morale is available!" Morale is available! ”

Zhang Zhimu understands that people nowadays are simple-minded and too easy to agitate. Unlike in previous lives, when people heard someone preach, they first had to ask him what his purpose was. Then ask him if he is true or false?

Before March, as soon as the Fen River opened, Li Mao and Ningde returned to Yaogang.

Ningde had already sent several telegrams before, wanting to come back to participate in the exit operation. This time, he will still try to follow the customs.

The two of them came to the command center, and Ning De made a request to Zhang Zhimu, Chen Yufeng, and Ouyang He in person.

Zhang Zhimu discussed with Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He, and felt that the old general really wanted to get out of the customs, and they were very understandable. As a general, he has been fighting civil wars all his life, and it is a lifelong regret that he did not send troops to defend against foreign enemies. Besides, Tongguan can also be handed over to those division commanders. Now Li Zicheng doesn't have the guts to think about Tongguan.

When Ning De heard that Zhang Zhimu and they agreed to follow him north out of the customs, he was so excited that his tears almost didn't fall out.

Zhang Zhimu said: "This time we have sent all the main generals, and we are more comfortable with our troops." ”

"I've been studying the tactics of the Mongols and I've been looking forward to fighting them. This time I finally had a chance. Ningde said.

"It seems that there are still a lot of people who study the Mongols!" Chen Yufeng said with a smile. Because Yaogang has worked hard to study the Mongols.

Ning De also smiled and said: "Who wants to be a little bit as a northern soldier can not study the Mongols." Besides, the fact that the Mongols were able to defeat such a big world shows that they are still a little superior. ”

Li Mao saw that Ningde's matter had been finished, and said to everyone: "I know that after a while, everyone will go out to fight, and this time will not be too short." I rushed back with some ideas, and I wanted to discuss it before everyone left. ”

As everyone knows, Li Mao is not a person who casually expresses his opinions, what he says must be important things.

Zhang Zhimu motioned for Li Mao to continue. Li Mao said: "What I want to say most when I come back is that most of our army in Yaogang are northerners, and from now on we will recruit southern soldiers in the south. The people we are doing business with now are in the south, and it takes a long time to get used to it. If a soldier from the north suddenly goes to the south, it is easy to be unadaptable. It is better for us to recruit soldiers for training in the south earlier. Now we have several islands in Hongze Lake, which can be used as training bases. It's a great place to be located between north and south. ”

"That's what Gongzi Li said." Ouyang He said: "We southerners are easy to adapt to in the north, just wear a little more when it's cold." But when it's hot in the south, you're sad. I agree with Li Gongzi. In the future, when conditions are available, we will still find a training base in Jiangnan. Li Gongzi should pay attention to this matter when he has a chance. ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "This matter will be settled. But Li Gongzi, this matter still needs to be done by you. Try to recruit people from as many regions as possible, so that many of our team can speak local dialects. In this way, if we expand into various places in the future, it will be easier to communicate with the locals. ”

"Good! I'll do that. Li Mao said: "I brought some tulle this time, which is used to make mosquito nets for the soldiers. I know that when we get to the grassland, we will not be killed by the Mongols, but if we don't get it, we will be bitten to death by mosquitoes on the grassland. ”

Ouyang He said: "It's really timely rain, we have prepared everything else, but the mosquito net is not enough." With mosquito nets, the soldiers did not have to fear mosquito bites. With tulle, we can also make some face shields to prevent mosquito bites. ”

As for Li Mao coming back to discuss how to build a branch in Jiujiang, Wuchang, and Changsha, Zhang Zhimu asked Li Mao and Lu Chengxiang to discuss it, and Zhang Zhimu had a headache when he heard about these things.

However, when Li Mao heard that Liu Yun and the others had brought back the two bloody horses, he didn't care about studying this matter with Lu Chengxiang, and wanted to go to Yan Boju to see the horses immediately.

Zhang Zhimu said: "I haven't taken a good look at the sweaty BMW until now, you can call Yan Bo first." He agreed to see his baby. ”
