Ouyang Jian and the guards Xiaoma and Yima came to the field hospital in the west of the city, and the director stood in front of the door to greet them. At this time, the Pharmaceutical Research Institute had been separated from the field hospital, and the courtyard on the opposite side had expanded several times in size, and the number of research and development personnel had reached several dozen. At present, the Institute of Pharmaceutical Research not only focuses on penicillin, but also develops Chinese patent medicines. The Chinese patent medicine is to make tablets from the medicine produced by the factory of traditional Chinese medicine through special treatment, which is decided by Ouyang Jian and the Chinese medicine doctor after research, and is feasible after clinical trials. It is not very difficult to make a pill into a drug.

The most difficult is the development of penicillin, to be precise, the development of penicillin is based on the poor and white, you can imagine how big the difficulties are. It can be said that the process of exploration is also a process of growth, and it is also a process of accumulating experience and cultivating talents. Ouyang Jian received a call from Chen Li, director of the Institute of Materia Medica, saying that the development had encountered a bottleneck and that there had been no progress in the past few months. Since Ouyang Jian returned to Yunshui County, naturally this problem returned to him, the initiator.

The dean personally accompanied Ouyang Jian into the courtyard of the Institute of Pharmaceutical Research, and the director Chen Li led the research and development personnel to stand in the courtyard and wait. After shaking hands with each other and greeting each other, everyone went to their respective jobs, and the director Chen Li said with some apprehension: "Commander, the current research and development has entered a bottleneck, and there has been no improvement in the past few months, and we are at a loss. I know the Commander has a lot of opportunities, but there's no way for you to decide." Comrade Chen Li, maybe you are too superstitious about me, and frankly I am also a layman. It is inevitable that difficulties will be encountered in development, so let's go and see the experimental process. "When you walk into the lab, it's hot and humid, and the purpose is to grow bacteria for fermentation. After visiting the experimental equipment, process and process, after the explanation of the scientific researchers, Ouyang Jian combined with the relevant knowledge he mastered, and believed that the development direction was not wrong.

What's the problem? Then Ouyang Jian summoned the relevant personnel and listened carefully to everyone's report: "Comrades, scientific exploration itself is a difficult road, and there are no shortcuts. There is a way, there is nothing difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to climb. Scientific exploration cannot be rushed, the development of penicillin is an unprecedented feat, and I am very pleased with your achievements. Experiments on mice have fully demonstrated the effective poisoning effect of penicillin on bacteria. There are many reasons why there has been no progress in research and development, and first, the level of our research and development personnel is limited. Second, our R&D equipment is backward. The third is the difficulty of cultivating penicillin crystals on a large scale, the fourth is the problem of penicillin crystal purification, and the fifth is the problem of side effects on the human body. “

Ouyang Jian looked around with a smile and said, "Comrades, don't you know what I'm talking about?" "Researchers have said that the difficulties are these aspects." Now that the problem has been found, the difficulty will be solved. Everyone must remember that science must not be false at all, and there are no shortcuts, and failure is the mother of success! Don't be discouraged, according to the above points, we will focus on solving them. First, the level of research and development personnel is uneven, and the next step is to continuously improve theoretical knowledge and trial and error. At the same time, we are looking for and recruiting qualified personnel of a higher level, and in addition, we must also use foreign experts for Chinese use and hire foreign experts to work in scientific research institutes, so as to improve our research and development level. “

"Second, as the saying goes, one must be ingenious and the other is wonderful, the next step is to update the development equipment, I want to buy the world's most advanced scientific research equipment, and we are fully qualified at present. Third, obtaining penicillin crystals is not a one-day effort, it requires patience and perseverance, and it is necessary to form a pattern of brainstorming and unity. Everyone usually has to study more and communicate more, and everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, in a word, it is to exert the power of the collective. Fourth, the issue of large-scale production of penicillin should not be relaxed, and should be carried out in parallel with the experiment. The aim of this move is that once the previous problems are solved, the new drug can be quickly put into clinical application. “

Facing the happy eyes of everyone, Ouyang Jian said with confidence: "The Chinese nation is a wise nation, I believe that you will be able to create a miracle, that is, we will let penicillin come out before the foreigners." Today I will instill a new concept in you: it is called leapfrog development! What is leapfrogging? The simple metaphor is to reduce the ・・・・・・ between the intermediate rings. That is to say, our level should quickly approach, reach, or even surpass the scientific level of Europe and the United States. The process by which we develop penicillin is also the process of training medical experts. The goal is clear, and I am confident that you will succeed. Ouyang Jian's words greatly encouraged the fighting spirit of the scientific researchers present.

Everyone has expressed their determination and put forward many reasonable suggestions. Seeing such a scene Ouyang Jian's purpose was very gratified, and then he visited the development of Chinese patent medicine, when parting, Ouyang Jian said to the director of the Institute of Medicine: "Comrade Chen Li, the Chinese patent medicine preparations into factory production is not only for military needs, the demand for people's livelihood is also very objective, at present, we need money in all walks of life, so Chinese patent medicine should be quickly put into the market." Don't look at the small profits of Chinese patent medicines, but the huge demand market can also bring rolling financial resources. The factory in the south of the city is almost completed, and you must also step up research and development. "Commander, please rest assured that the current common Chinese patent medicine has been developed, and there is no problem in putting it into large-scale production in the factory. We have started to purchase Chinese herbal medicines and stock up on large quantities of raw materials. In addition, the local government of Jiujiang has begun planning to encourage farmers in mountainous areas to grow Chinese herbal medicines to meet future needs. “

Later, Ouyang Jian, accompanied by the director of the field hospital, visited the training course for doctors and the crash course for nurses in the hospital. According to the dean, at the end of the year, the medical college and the medical school were officially established, and the nursing education system is one year, and the doctor education system is three years." At present, the Jiangxi base area has become a famous brand in the country, and a large number of aspiring and progressive young people have enthusiastically gathered in Jiangxi, which has virtually created rich conditions for talent training. In the next step, Ouyang Jian will set up a special institution, which is to place them in industries suitable for their own development to accelerate the cultivation of talents according to the strengths of different young people. How to attach importance to talents, use talents, and cultivate talents, Ouyang Jian is confident that his rich "experience" can be replaced by no one.

After Ouyang Jian and Xiaoma finished lunch in the field hospital, Yima then went to the arsenal. At present, the core part of the munitions industrial enterprise has been relocated to the cave factory in the west of the city, for which a section of the city wall in the west of the city has been demolished to form a wide road. At present, the west of the city is already a military stronghold, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter. According to Ouyang Jian's strategic plan, a military zone is set up within a radius of 30 kilometers to the west of the city. In the future, all the ordnance industry and important factories were located in the cave to ensure safe production during wartime. In addition, Tongluo Village will be used as a special military zone, with built-in core secrets such as atomic energy research, which has been integrated and planned.

About half an hour later, Ouyang Jianhe dismounted and entered the heavily guarded arsenal. At present, the explosives factory and the gun and ammunition factory have been relocated to the cave. The site of the artillery factory is also located in the cave, and the site is already available, but it lacks large-scale equipment for making artillery, steel, and does not have the conditions for production at present. Entering the cave, the roar of various machines, especially the movement of the steam engine, was deafening. As far as the eye can see, the workers are busy under the bright lights. The main parts of the rifle are produced in the cave, and the wooden part of the weapon is produced outside the cave.

Hearing the news that Ouyang Jian came to inspect, Zhang Hanfu, the chief manager, came out to greet him, "Commander, you have always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so there must be a new plan?" "When I saw Zhang Hanfu, the prophet teased. As a person who witnessed the growth of the ordnance enterprise, Zhang Hanfu not only paid all his efforts, but also fell in love with this sacred cause and could not leave this place.

On more than one occasion, the headquarters sent him to take up important posts in the government of the Soviet District, but he tried every means to refuse, because in his mind the munitions industrial enterprise was as precious as his second life. "Minister Zhang, the Red Star No. 1 rifle has been finalized and production should be stepped up, and the Red Army units should uniformly replace standard weapons." "Commander, day and night production has been arranged, and the workers are working in three shifts without stopping the machines. Rest assured, 2 years to ensure that the task is overfulfilled. "I have already agreed to the 19th Route Army gun purchase agreement, and 5,000 rifles and 100,000 rounds of ammunition will be delivered by the end of the year, which is the first money we have earned for our rifles. In addition, the 5 Corps first replaced the new rifles, and the obsolete ones were to be sold. ”

"Not long ago, Dark Arrow has reached an agreement with the Sichuan warlord Liu Xiang, and he wants as many weapons as we have eliminated. Our munitions enterprises cannot always lose money, at least they must be even. "Commander, at present, there are many arms dealers in China, how many old weapons do we have eliminated, and Liu Xiang wants to be the main leader?" "You think Liu Xiang is a fool, he won't do a loss-making business. For one, our old weapons are only half the price, and besides, I guess he might sell them to someone else. "Why don't we sell it ourselves?" "If we sell weapons, it will attract attention from all sides, especially the national government. In the future, when the peace talks are successful, Lao Chiang asks us to provide weapons, do we give them or not? “

"Therefore, our huge arms industry must be kept absolutely secret, and the arsenal in Yunshui County will fool people in the future. In addition, if you choose Liu Xiang to be a 2-way dealer, you must give him sweetness. Sichuan's geographical location is excellent and relatively isolated, which guarantees the secrecy of our arms trafficking. In addition, we told Liu Xiang through an intermediary that in the future we would directly buy weapons from Germany, and the price would be 30 percent cheaper than that of German arms dealers, so that he would believe that our weapons were purchased. In addition, we can use Liu Xiang to sell weapons to the west. Another point is that in the future, we will take advantage of Sichuan's excellent geographical location to provide weapons and ammunition for the Red 4th Front, and this route is the safest and most secure. “

Ouyang Jian continued: "According to the information we have, after the Japanese army occupies the northeast, it will take a few years to digest it, and at the same time, we will also have to prepare for war, maybe we can have three to four years of precious time, so our war preparations must be in full swing." I wonder how the imitation of the point four or five pistols is? "The imitation point four or five pistols are already eight or nine, and if there is no accident, it will be put into large-scale production by the end of next year." Ouyang Jian nodded, then took out a dozen drawings from his briefcase and continued: "This is a new type of submachine gun produced abroad, the gun is simple in structure and operation. In addition, the production process is less difficult, which is very suitable for our imitation. “

Zhang Hanfu took the drawings and looked at them carefully, in fact, the drawings in Ouyang Jian's hand were the Bobosha Type 43 submachine gun that the Soviet Army showed its might during World War II. The gun was loaded with 71 rounds with a curved magazine. Caliber 7, 62 mm, firing range 100 meters to 200 meters. Another major feature of the gun is that almost all the parts are stamped, so the process is very simple. Ouyang Jian finished introducing the performance of the gun and continued: "Give the drawings to the Ordnance Research Institute, first get the sample gun out and test it repeatedly to improve the performance." The demand for ammunition for submachine guns is very large, and we are not in a position to equip them on a large scale for the time being. “

"But we can have limited equipment, and submachine guns are very powerful in defensive operations and offensive operations. I ask this submachine gun to be ready for production in 3 years. Then Ouyang Jian walked into the cave of the Ordnance Research Institute, met with the research and development personnel, and inquired about the anti-imitation of light and heavy machine guns and the imitation of artillery. At present, the Weapons Research Institute has just started, so Ouyang Jian asked them to mainly imitate, simplify the difficulty of weapons in the process of imitation, and improve their performance at the same time. In addition, there is another weapon that Ouyang Jian must come up with, and that is the anti-tank barrel. Ouyang Jian's expertise in various weapons is the direction marker, and no one questioned it.
