Cheng Dongshan Niu was one left and one right, following Zhang Ran closely, and glancing at each other from time to time, for fear that Zhang Ran would run away.

The feeling of being like a prisoner being detained by a police officer almost made Zhang Ran angry and said angrily: "Can you not stick so close?" Can you stay away from me a little? They all said that this will take you to get the punch! ”

It's fine that he doesn't speak.

This opening, Cheng Dongshan Niu Da is really like a great enemy, ignoring the difficulty of the mountain road, holding Zhang Ran's arm from left to right, and he is afraid that Zhang Ran will fall, but it is simply an escort!

"Lao Tzu said that Lao Tzu will not run!"

Zhang Ran is crazy - between these people, there is no even the least trust!

"It's not like you haven't run!"

Niu Dazhen has words.

Cheng Dongshan was relatively polite, but he was not polite: "Captain, don't be angry, if we can really get the stamping machine today, how you punish us...... I just want to see how you conjure up the press for us today, captain! ”

Cheng Dongshan didn't dare to say anything else, but if this detachment brought back any machinery, he was sure that he was the first to know!

As far as he knew, the detachment now doesn't even have a few pieces of excess scrap iron, not to mention such a large machine as a stamping machine!

Therefore, Cheng Dongshan sneered as he spoke, with a look on his face that you are just going to break the sky today, and if you want to get through the gates, there is no door!

"What if I do conjure?"

Zhang Ran said in a hurry, and said in his heart that Lao Tzu is also the only captain of the detachment, the current supreme leader of the base area, you don't trust Lao Tzu at all - if Lao Tzu doesn't clean up after you, where is the majesty of my team leader!

"Haha, captain, when did you learn to juggle?"

Cheng Dongshan Niu laughed strangely, and that white tone did not mean that they were joking now.

"And what if I take it out?"

Zhang Ran gritted his teeth, holding back his strength, he had to clean up these two guys.

Even if it wasn't for the sake of maintaining the majesty of the supreme leader of his base area, he decided to stop this unhealthy trend that he didn't take himself seriously!

"If you really give us a stamping machine, captain, I don't want this year's salary!" The cow roared!

"Niu Da, Niu Da, you really look at Lao Tzu from the crack in the door, and completely flattened Lao Tzu, the captain!"

Seeing Niu Da's expression, Zhang Ran's heart was secretly happy, but on the surface, he remained silent, turned his head and glared at Cheng Dongshan and said, "What do you say?" Same as Niu Da? ”

Cheng Dongshan looked at Zhang Ran's expression.

That expression reminded him of the time when he was in the arsenal before, when a bunch of workers played a prank, put a bucket of ice water on the door in the winter, and then a bunch of people shrunk in the quilt and snickered and waited for some unlucky guy to come back later, the expression was exactly the same!

So Cheng Dongshan didn't answer at all, just pushed Zhang Ran and said: "Captain, let's not say anything else, let's take a look at the press first......"

"Let's be clear!"

Where is Zhang Ran willing to give Cheng Dongshan a chance to pass the test in a fool's way, and he won't leave if he doesn't make it clear.

Cheng Dongshan had no choice but to get: "Okay, as long as you can see the stamping machine, the captain will do what you say!" ”

"That's what you said!"

Hearing this, Zhang Ran immediately opened his eyebrows and smiled: "I won't deduct your wages, after all, our detachment is a team led by the Eighth Route Army, if I deduct your wages, then I won't be a capitalist?" In this way, you will run around the village twice with your bare butts at that time, and promise not to chase Lao Tzu's ass all day and ask for things in the future......"

"And what if you can't take it out, captain?" Cheng Dongshan asked cleverly.

"I can't take it out, Lao Tzu ran around the detachment with his bare ass, are you satisfied?" Zhang Ran said without hesitation.

Cheng Dongshan blinked his eyes and was about to shake his wit, but Niu Da had already laughed and said, "Captain, this is what you said, let's make a ...... of words."

Then when he saw the teapot-sized stamping machine model that Lao Lin took out, Niu's face turned green, and he shouted at the top of his voice: "Captain, you are a fool, we want a stamping machine that can be produced, not this model......"

"Did you start talking?"

Zhang Ran looked at me and said proudly: "Besides, with this model, our detachment will build its own stamping machine, and it won't be a matter of minutes?" ”

Niu Da held back for a long time and didn't know how to refute, and pulled Cheng Dongshan and said: "I'm stupid, you come to reason with him......"

"You were the one who promised to run in circles with a bare ass, and I didn't agree!"

Cheng Dongshan immediately sold Niu Da, and happily held the stamping machine model and fiddled: "Captain, you still deduct my salary, I will work for the detachment for a year in vain - Lao Lin, you help me make the frame, and I will let Lao Zheng make two stone stones as load-bearing parts......"

As he spoke, he was about to slip away......

"Want to run? There are no doors! ”

Thinking of the fact that these two guys were forced to sneak into a meal for a while, Zhang Ran was willing to let them go easily, and yelled: "Come on, pick up these two guys for me......"

Seeing the excitement, a group of soldiers rushed in with a snort, and in three or two strokes, they picked up the two Niu Da and ran all over the village, no longer going around in circles, where are more people going......

Then, the crowd of people ran around the village chasing the guys who covered their hands and wept, and the screams of the little daughters-in-law were particularly piercing at this moment, just like a strange hand suddenly appeared in the crotch of their pants......

It's as lively as the New Year......

"Now you know what it's like, right?"

Zhang Ran watched the street come back, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into Niu Da and Cheng Dongshan to relieve their hatred, and said proudly: "Lao Tzu wants to see, who dares to chase Lao Tzu's ass for something in the future, hum!" ”

Cheng Dongshan Niu Da didn't have a face down the mountain for several days.

Fortunately, they also have things to do without going down the mountain.

Although the model of this press has been adjusted in all aspects, and the construction is relatively simple.

But turning a model into a real working machine is not something that can be done in a day or two.

All the parts can be changed to metal, they must be changed to metal, although the load-bearing plate is made of stone by Lao Lin, but they also need to debug it......

Revenge!

Coupled with the worries of no longer having to worry about who will ask for something for him after killing chickens and monkeys, and stalking him if he can't get his hands on it, Zhang Ranle's teeth and flowers have come out, and he feels a lot more relaxed when he walks.

"And a smile!"

Deng Fang scolded: "You are not ashamed of the dignified detachment leader playing this kind of prank!" ”

You weren't chased by people so much to ask for debts, of course you don't have a backache when you stand and talk!

Zhang Ran snorted a few words angrily, and then asked about the production of sulfuric acid!

Now that the process of preparing sulfuric acid from small towers is mature, the next step is to build large towers to increase production.

"It's not so fast, I'll observe it for a while to see if there is anything that needs to be improved - these things have to come step by step, and the steps can't be too big!"

The success of the stage did not make Deng Fang get carried away, and he still remained cautious, but he cared about Zhang Ran's side: "When sulfuric acid is prepared in large quantities, what type of nitrification do you prepare?" ”

Nitric explosives are explosives made by nitrification reaction, and they are also commonly used explosives at present.

Because of the different nitrifications, the types of nitrifying explosives produced and their properties are also different.

"Judging from the current situation, we can only use nitrogenated starch first!" Zhang Ran thought for a while.

Nitric starch is also a widely used explosive.

The performance is stable and powerful, even much higher than the power of TNT.

But the flaw is also great – because it requires starch as a material!

Starch is the most essential part of grains such as wheat and corn!

In this era when the common people do not have enough food, using nitrified starch as the main explosives produced in the base area is undoubtedly similar to taking food from the mouths of the common people.

Deng Fang said with an ugly face: "It's okay to use this top for the time being, but you can't use this as the main explosive all the time, you have to find another way to ......."

Zhang Ran nodded.

Even Deng Fang knew that he was worried about food security, but how could he, a time-traveler who knows the direction of history, not understand?

Don't look at the bumper grain harvest in the base area of this year's autumn harvest, now there are two or three million catties of grain stored in the warehouse of the detachment, and more than one million catties are also stored in the warehouse water team, which sounds like an astronomical amount!

But in fact, three or four million catties of grain, is it too much?

If the soldiers of the detachment alone ate by themselves, more than a thousand people could indeed eat for many days.

But the crux of the matter is that this grain can never be eaten by the detachment itself - the detachment is now employing people, and they are all in charge of a meal!

What's more, a lot of food must be kept as a reserve food to deal with the famine caused by the blockade and sweep of the little devils here in the future!

There are hundreds of thousands of people in the base areas of the two counties, and just a little grain is distributed to the people, and it is only a day or two of rations!

Moreover, the Lingjiang Cangshui guerrillas, the common people also have to rely on these grains to receive help!

Besides, if the large army has nothing to eat and comes to borrow some food, can the detachment not borrow it?

Not to mention that they are all the teams of the Eighth Route Army, a comrade-in-arms in the anti-Japanese trenches, even if ordinary people are dying of starvation to borrow some food, it is impossible to watch people starve to death and not borrow, right?

So it is not a last resort, Zhang Ran will never use nitrostarch as the main type of explosives for the detachment.

If he could, he would like to use TNT, too.

The reason why TNT is the most famous type of explosive among all nitrifying explosives is not because of its power, but also because of its low raw material price!

TNT is an explosive formed by absorption of nitroglycerin and diatomaceous earth, but the crux of the matter is, on the detachment's side, where to find diatomaceous earth?

And the detachment is currently in dire need of high explosives to make up for the lack of ammunition and to increase the power of grenade mines.

So Zhang Ran can't help it at all.

Using nitrified starch is purely a headache for the head and a pain for the feet, and one step at a time.

Of course, although the issue of food security has always been hanging like a sword around the neck of the base area, Zhang Ran is not completely unsure that he can get through the difficulties.

After all, from the first moment he came, he was working hard for the food crisis in the future battlefield behind enemy lines!

After more than half a year of concerted efforts by all the people in the base, the fertilizer plant has not only begun to produce chemical fertilizer, but has also been able to achieve mass production - ten tons of phosphate fertilizer and two tons of ammonia fertilizer per day!

Fertilizer, but something that has never appeared in the battlefield behind enemy lines in history!

With the big killer of chemical fertilizer, even if nitrogenulose is used as the main explosive, Zhang Ran still has a little confidence that the detachment can get through the difficulties!
