The technicians and engineers of the Shanghai Manufacturing Bureau of Wuhu Industrial Park got off the ship listlessly, and one by one they were depressed. If it weren't for the fact that the treatment was not bad, they would never have come.

When they were sent to the industrial park by horse-drawn carriage, they stared at each other, as if they couldn't believe that everything in front of them was real. Rows of neat factories are scattered; The skillful workers on the assembly line are as quick as if they were performing juggling; Wearing a black uniform and carrying a foreign gun, the factory guard team is full of energy; The evergreen pines and cypresses in all seasons, the blooming spring flowers, and the cold plums that are proud of the snow, are beautiful like a garden-like factory

Most of the engineers are international students, and even in the places of foreigners, they have never seen such a perfect factory area. Looking at their jaw-dropping expressions, Chai Dongliang was in a very happy mood.

This cost a full 5,000 yuan, and the deputy moderator Ma Xiaobraid asked the designers of the Industrial Design Institute to give the blueprint for the plan, and then built according to it. Of course, the designer took on private work, and if he passed the design institute, he would not be able to get 200,000 yuan.

Chai Dada has to deal with government affairs during the day, and at night he has to draw time code words, 5,000 yuan of manuscript fees, bite open every copper plate, and there are blood beads inside!

To Chai Dongliang's surprise, the renovation of the cement plant has been completed, and he is waiting for him to cut the ribbon and start work.

The old man Wu Xingzhou handed over a pair of pure gold scissors, Wu Meiqi and Mo Xiaolian, who were smiling like flowers, pulled the ends of the silk cloth, Chai Dongliang went down with scissors, and the colored balls fell on the tray.

In the industrial park, firecrackers rang out, Wu Jintang, chairman of the board of supervisors, pushed the electric switch, and the machine whizzed and spun. The conveyor belt feeds piles of limestone the size of tennis balls into the vertical centrifugal crusher, and as the turntable rotates inside, pebbles the size of soybeans are ejected from the outlet. The evenly broken small stones are sent by the elevator to the ball mill feeding port in mid-air, the slender tube mill squeaks and rotates, and the steel balls inside are carried into the air by the barrel wall, and then fall down because of the action of gravity, smashing heavily on the limestone particles that have been pre-crushed, and then spit out white powder from the discharge port.

The kiln is also ignited and the work begins, and the limestone, which has been ground into powder in advance, is mixed with white coal to form a mass and sent to the kiln body for roasting. After being sintered into a ball, it is sent to a vertical crusher for crushing, then sent to a clinker ball mill for grinding into powder, and then mixed with fly ash from the power plant and sent to mix until the finished cement pours down from the discharge port.

In the eyes of the engineers, this cement plant is said to produce more than 100 tons, but the fact is that they were shocked, and the output has reached more than 500 tons in just half a day. Moreover, the cement factory, which was supposed to be full of dust, turned out to be full of smoke, and a huge bag dust collector collected all the fine dust.

Among the engineers, there are a few knowledgeable people, the grinding of cement and raw meal, the more fine particles the better, the better the quality, those that float away are the essence, and here, even in the most advanced cement plants abroad, only the essence that flies away, are collected, improve the quality of products.

In the cement plant, there is also a well-equipped laboratory where technicians in white coats and white masks are analyzing the crystalline structure of each batch of samples under a microscope.

The expressions of these people had long been expected by Chai Dongliang, the technology that has been ahead of this world for sixty years, if it can't scare people, it is definitely abnormal.

A few guys who were originally invincible and looked at people with their nostrils were ready to hand over their resignation letters with bitter faces. It's too bullying, I can't do this job, I'm afraid my level is only as an apprentice, and the engineer has no hope!

More people have a high expectation in their eyes, and for the first time they feel that China can lead the world in industry. The level of understanding of industry by these engineers who have returned from studying abroad is definitely much higher than that of ordinary people. Cement, plastics, metallurgy and other raw material industries are the foundation of all industries, as long as these can lead the world, then the entire industrial system will lead the world.

What surprised them even more was that the patent rights of these advanced equipment also belonged to China, and the installation was also completed in Wuhu Industrial Park, and all spare parts will be localized in the future.

Wu Xingzhou, Wu Jintang father and son, when Chai Dongliang had not returned to Wuhu, had already tried a machine in a snowy day, after the initial shock, the Wu family father and son felt that the sky was not snowflakes, but white silver. The Wu family's original small cement factory only invested a mere 30,000 taels of silver in the renovation fund, and the output increased tenfold!

The cement plant with an annual output of 30,000 tons has become 300,000 tons, and the energy consumption is basically unchanged, what is this concept, the Wu family father and son are very clear, that is to say, within the sales radius of the surrounding 300 miles, all competitors will be wiped out. The cost of production has been halved and the output has increased tenfold, this technology is really terrible!

The Wu family father and son and Yu Qiaqing of Shanghai organized an exhibition called the "Jiangnan Industry Meeting", which has invited well-known domestic businessmen and wealthy businessmen, as well as a large number of foreign companies from Shanghai, Wuhu, Tianjin, and Dalian to participate. The wealthy businessmen and Taipan who made a fortune on the three-core socket heard that there was a more advanced invention in Wuhu Industrial Park, and their eyes were dripping blood, and many people ran over in advance, so they lived in Wuhu every day and soaked mushrooms with the Wu family father and son, saying that they would take away the agency. The father and son of the Wu family were happy, but they couldn't help but laugh, they didn't even see what the things looked like, and these people had to leave the deposit, so they were too bold.

A very beautiful dormitory building has been built in the industrial park, with four ordinary workers in one house, and engineers and technicians living in suites with reading toilets and kitchens. There are also 24-hour free bathrooms in the park, workers who work at night can take a hot shower at any time, and the canteen meals are also varied and the prices are extremely low, and the industrial park implements a subsidy system according to the standard of one dime per person per day. A meat and vegetarian meal, quite a hearty lunch, workers only need to pay two cents to eat well.

After deducting the food expenses, there are four and a half yuan to take home, and labor protection supplies such as work clothes and safety helmets are also distributed free of charge.

Chai Dongliang was originally going to arrange for engineers and technicians to rest, but they were interested, where were they willing to go to the dormitory to sleep? As soon as I threw away my luggage, I put on a rattan shell helmet and went into the workshop, looking east and west, feeling that everything was fresh.

At present, the only thing put into production in the industrial park is the three-core socket, which is extremely simple in technology, according to the sales price of 99 cents, deducting the 40 cents rebate to the agent, and then deducting the production cost of 20 cents, each with a net profit of more than 30 cents.

With such a high profit as a guarantee, it is no longer a problem to give workers better food and housing, and a slightly higher salary.

The Anqing Repair Institute was also relocated to Wuhu and renamed the Wuhu Arsenal, and immediately resumed production after eliminating the redundant people who ate vacancies by virtue of their relationships and drank tea and read newspapers to kill time. Wu Jintang took matters into his own hands and implemented specialized production and a branch factory system in accordance with Chai Dongliang's method. Workers make a rifle, no longer from the barrel, bolt to the butt are all made by the same person, but each person divides labor, the same worker only produces the same part, and then marked with the logo and work number, sent to the main factory for unified assembly. Any unqualified spare parts can be directly traced back to the person responsible, and no one can steal and play tricks.

After the implementation of the branch factory system, the efficiency has been greatly improved, and the production line that could only make ten imitation Mauser 88 rifles a day can now produce 50 rifles a day, and with the increase in the proficiency of workers, the efficiency is still rapidly improving. The bullet production workshop can now also produce 2,000 rounds of rifle ammunition and 50 rounds of artillery shells. After being equipped with precision vernier calipers, micrometers and other work card measuring tools, the original production methods that relied on steel plate rulers and calipers to ensure machining accuracy by relying on the experience of the master were completely abolished and replaced by accurate processing and measurement.

Each worker only produces the same kind of parts, practice makes perfect, the speed is greatly accelerated, and the quality is also rapidly improved, and there are precision work card measuring tools, and the quality of weapons has been guaranteed for the first time. The copper hoop of that kind of cannonball is larger than the barrel of the cannon, and the matter of filling the muzzle with a file has become history in the Wuhu Arsenal.

After going to Shanghai for a while, Wuhu Industrial Park has undergone earth-shaking changes, and this speed makes Chai Dongliang very satisfied. Chinese people are inherently extremely hardworking and very sensitive to money, and as long as the imperial court does not push them into a desperate situation, it is almost the instinct of Chinese to be diligent and thrifty to get rich.

In the cold winter, these people have completed the construction of the three-core socket assembly line, the relocation of the Wuhu Arsenal, and the transformation of the machine kiln cement plant in such a short period of time.

Such a bee-like industrious nation can actually starve all over the wilderness, and the Manchu court is really evil!

Chai Dongliang and the Wu family father and son, and engineers from Shanghai inspected the industrial park together, Wu Meiqi and Mo Xiaolian have been following behind, and they can't find a suitable occasion to say something considerate for a long time, Chai Dongliang smiled and said to them: "You go back first, there is a welcome dinner in the evening, and a dance party, I invite you to dance in the evening!" ”

The two of them left happily, glanced at each other, and thought about dressing up well after going back to suppress each other's limelight.

Although the two have discussed in private that they will marry Chai Dongliang together in the future and work together to deal with the vixens who dare to covet Chai Dongliang again, it does not mean that they should not be separated from each other, and it is a woman's instinct to be jealous.

Chai Dongliang walked into the workshop of the Wuhu Arsenal, where the workers were assembling rifles, the loaded rifles were neatly stacked on the shelves, and the machines in the workshop had been carefully maintained, and even the anchor screws were shining.

Lu Kai picked up a rifle, brushed it and fired the bolt, the movement was smooth and coherent, and then he glanced at it a few times, felt it carefully, and then smiled and said: "Dudu, this gun is good, much stronger than the one made before!" Can you first equip our second regiment with new guns? ”

Chai Dongliang kicked him and scolded with a smile: "I want to take advantage of everything, do you still have a little consciousness of a revolutionary soldier?" This gun is for reserve and recruit training, and I will change it for you in a better way. ”

Lu Kai's eyes lit up, and it was estimated that there was some treasure in the sleeve of the governor!

Chai Dongliang is not satisfied with the arsenal, not dissatisfied with these people, but dissatisfied with the raw materials, all the steel used to make guns and guns relies on imported special steel and cannot be self-sufficient is a big problem.

In another time and space, Mao Taizu had a sentence that made sense: If we do a good job in the steel and grain problems, most of China's problems will be solved.

Steel and grain are indeed the two biggest problems!

"Governor, Nanjing Emergency!"

Fang Qingyu hurriedly ran over from outside, his face pale.

Chai Dongliang's heart tightened, could it be that Kuang Haishan had an accident?
