So, relying on this tank engine is the perfect solution to the power problem?

Yang Mingzhi only felt that this Rygushkov was too idealistic. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info no more rambling on the part of Laukavitsky, he himself raised his hand and took part in the discussion.

New army commanders and old chiefs of staff participate in the discussion? Everyone cast curious glances, what else could he say. Because, it is only Rygushkov who is talking about it here.

Yang Mingzhi paused and pointed out: "We want to build a locomotive with enough horsepower, if we use a tank engine, it will indeed save a lot of time." But after all, it was placed on a tank, and even if it was a fast tank, it still couldn't change the nature of its oil-swallowing monster! We have a lot of fuel right now, so we should prioritize trucks! We still have two tanks that can be used in future battles, so we should have a lot of precious gasoline in stock! Rather than splurging.

So, why don't we make a steam engine? Just like a locomotive, it is powered by steam. Why do we use internal combustion engines? Could it be that the arsenal is not confident in the production of steam engines? ”

Yang Mingzhi hit him with words, just to see what kind of countermeasures Riguskov had. Moreover, what I said is reasonable, the strength of the arsenal is already strong enough to produce rocket artillery with a long range, and it is difficult to produce steam turbines?

What's more, as long as you make a small steam locomotive, you don't have to think about fuel at all! Because, in this vast swamp, and even in the vast Belarus, this black soil under your feet is full of peat! After drying, it is a reliable fuel!

Rygushkov was already standing confidently on the podium, his face did not change, and he knew at a glance that he had goods in his stomach.

He went on to explain: "Sir! I already think that this tank engine is enough! The simplest reason, even with its high fuel consumption, has an unbeatable ability - strong horsepower! It's 400 horsepower! We can build a lot of wagons to be dragged by it! But we're going to produce a steam engine, and with the same horsepower, I think I'm limited in what I can do! ”

"Is there anything else that makes you embarrassed?" Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but ask.

And this Rygushkov looked at him even more comically, and asked rhetorically: "Could it be that the military commander, who is also well versed in the way of mechanical manufacturing, does not understand the difficulties in this?" ”

Yang Mingzhi was stunned for a moment, and his stunned expression quickly eased again. He shook his right hand and admitted, "Okay! I do ignore such a reality! The engine is really powerful. ”

"That's right! More than just a good engine! We want to build a locomotive, and there are a lot of ready-made materials for it. If it weren't for these reasons, I wouldn't have brought it up at the meeting! ”

Rigushkov made a fuss about the broken tank. Although the shell of the tank had long since turned into molten iron and turned into various shells, many of its delicate parts were still preserved. Especially its axle system, transmission system.

"We really just had to make a simple frame and install the entire transmission of the tank. Four pairs of load-bearing wheels were converted into drive wheels. The simple diesel locomotive is complete. ”

"So! That's what you mean? So the locomotive is done? Yang Mingzhi had to question again.

Ryguskov reaffirmed: "With a little machining, the wheel can run on the track." As for the carriage it pulls, it is nothing more than a wooden car with wheels made by the arsenal installed on it! It doesn't have to be a pure metal wheel. We only need to nail a circle of iron sheets to the wooden wheel, and it is enough to use. ”

Yang Mingzhi nodded with a look on his face, this old guy will definitely make great achievements after the war.

An industrial country like the Soviet Union must have already developed a diesel locomotive, and Rigushkov's approach was to build Novgomel's own diesel locomotive. In all fairness, in the current war years, the cheapest steam locomotive is what countries need in war, and the expensive and responsible diesel locomotive is not suitable for war!

At present, Novgomel does not have many options to give him, and the waste utilization of damaged tanks is indeed the last word.

Yang Mingzhi had already made his approval, and seeing this, Salinchkin, who had been quietly "watching the play" on the side, stood up: "Comrades! Now for the vote! Comrades who support the director of our arsenal and carry out the construction of the railway from Catfish Village to Blacksmith Village, please raise your hand! ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone made a statement.

Because the commander is all in favor of it, he knows everything about this swamp, what else is there to question?

The raised right hand was like a forest, and Ryguskov looked at this scene with delight, and he couldn't tell how excited he was! In fact, he was always a little unhappy with the problems of his junior Kavitzky.

The so-called village chief of the blacksmith village has been indifferent for many years, and if he hadn't been removed from his post because he had privately distributed military supplies, he would still be the village head! Now it's a good thing that Kavitzky, a young guy, has taken this important position, and it seems that this is a high position, and he is also good at nitpicking.

"Now! You have nothing to say! ”

Rigushkov thought so wishfully that when Salinchkin was about to announce the adoption of the agenda, Kavitsky once again "attacked".

"Hell! I never thought this guy was questioning! Yang Mingzhi covered his face and couldn't help muttering. He knew that he didn't mean to make things difficult, and the questions he asked were practical.

The atmosphere in the venue was very awkward, and in the crowd, it was clear that Kavitzki was the only one who "stood out from the crowd", and he was the only one who still had dissenting opinions.

Rigushkov frowned slightly, he suppressed the displeasure in his heart, if the chief asked him very happy to answer, why was it this one?

"Now, the problems of locomotives, carriages and rails seem to have found a reasonable solution, and it seems that the railway from the blacksmith village I am in charge of to catfish village can be completed and opened to traffic quickly! But the biggest question is that you haven't noticed? What about the workers? Who will do the construction? Could it be the requisition of ordinary villagers? Are they professional railroad workers? They don't know anything about building railways! ”

The venue suddenly buzzed, and even Yevlov, who was sitting next to Yang Mingzhi, couldn't help but poke his head over and ask: "Berekov, it seems that the director of our arsenal and you, the director of the factory, have both miscalculated!" ”

Yang Mingzhi was startled at first, and when he glanced at Rigushkov on the stage, he was still so calm, standing straight, and there was a hint of pride in his eyes.

In this case, will he not have a decisive solution? Yang Mingzhi thought about it for a while, and suddenly realized.

Yevlov's head was still close to him, and Yang Mingzhi seemed to have guessed everything, and said meaningfully: "How can there be no railway workers in our Novgomel? Peroniski, he himself built railways! ”

"That's right! Peroniski! And his locomotive brigade! No one knows how to build railroads better than their men! Yevlov slapped his thigh. At this moment, he can only sigh, God bless the Soviet Union, God bless Novgomel.

People from all walks of life in Belarus gathered in this swamp, and Yevlov couldn't help but joke: "I think we can almost build a country!" We already lack nothing! ”

"Isn't that possible?" Yang Mingzhi replied with a smile and patted his briefcase again.
