September 13, 1942. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Liaoning Kuandian.

After knowing that the beheading of Beiping was successful, and then knowing that the situation on the North China front had eased, Xiaolu decided that the battle was over. He explained the matter at hand to others, took a plane to Kuandian Airport, and then took a car east to the Kuandian Mountains.

The standard of the airfield is very high, the runway is wide and long, and it can take off and land any kind of large aircraft of this era. The airfield is surrounded by mountains, and the sentry posts on the mountains can be seen with binoculars from the plane. There are bunkers under the sentry posts.

Nowadays, the road has been repaired here, and the road is wide, although it is a gravel road, and cars drive on it, which is basically not bumpy.

Through the car window, you can see that the road is newly built, and the rocks on one side of the hillside are fresh, and the other side is covered with stones and soil, and trees and grass are growing tenaciously.

After walking a short distance, I left the place where there were residents, and faced a very large checkpoint, there was a barracks, dozens of people were at the checkpoint, there were guns and cannons, there were pillboxes, and there were lookout posts.

After strict inspection, the convoy was released.

The next road is the so-called deep in the mountains, where there are occasional villages on flat ground, and the houses are gone, replaced by neat barracks and wide roads.

The car followed the road and climbed up the ridge, and at the pass, there was another camp, a checkpoint. From here there are paths that run towards the ridges on both sides, apparently for patrolling.

After crossing the ridge, soon the valley was reached. From time to time, you will see dams on the river, which are small hydroelectric power stations, and a high-voltage power line runs along the river valley, to the north.

Cars drive on mountain roads, and patrols can be seen at any time, patrolling along the river.

After walking for a while, I caught up with a convoy, the road was controlled, and the path had to wait. Everyone was told that they could only be in the car and were not allowed to get out.

Through the car window, everyone saw a convoy of cars pulling something and moving slowly. There wasn't much on the car, but it weighed a lot, because this section of the road was not good, it was washed across by the mountains and rivers, and almost every car was pushed by someone.

The road entered a ravine and faced a checkpoint. This time, document checks are more stringent. The trail attendant had a badge that was worn out, not very clear, and blocked.

A short walk down the ravine, there is a huge platform in an open field on the side of the road. This is the planned helipad, the helicopter was not successfully developed, and the north of this platform is used as a parking lot and a tool stacking place. One corner is used as an open-air carpentry workshop.

It's already in the production area.

At this time, a car drove over and stopped on the side of the road, and Zhou Baozhong jumped out of the car, which was to meet the path.

Xiaolu also got out of the car, grabbed Zhou's hand, and said, "It's hard work." Great work. For more than a year, all the shelves have been erected. Not bad. ”

Zhou Baozhong: "There are hundreds of miles here, all the people have been emptied, and the original settlements have become our station. Some of the roads to the outside world were blown up. The place was too big to be safe, but we did it anyway. ”

Xiaolu: "It's not far from the county seat, and it's not far from North Korea. Is there a problem on both sides? ”

Zhou Baozhong: "There are still a few prosperous towns that have been turned upside down by us, and everyone is registered. The peasants outside the zone of military control were also put in charge. There's also our garrison on that side. The political power in the countryside is already firmly established. The North Korean side is better, sparsely populated. We took some preferential measures and sent them all to the north to clear the wasteland. ”

Xiaolu: "Shuifeng Power is in, is there any difficulty?" ”

Zhou Baozhong: "Now, only part of the electricity comes in. This small part is much better than the previous small hydropower and small thermal power. We left all the Japanese who were working on the power station and let them erect the wires. After our own fighters learned, the power line towers in key areas were built by ourselves. Now, everyone is overhauling, and the unit that uses electricity is debugging the machine, hoping that the power will go smoothly at night. ”

Xiaolu: "How's the key factory?" ”

Zhou Baozhong: "The scale of the factory is too large, and the first workshop belongs to the experimental workshop, which is operated by small hydropower and electricity, and has encountered some difficulties and is being overcome. Other labs have been running for a long time. Only the first one was built in the weapons manufacturing workshop, and trial operation began yesterday. ”

Xiaolu: "I didn't expect it to be so fast. It's not simple. ”

Zhou Baozhong: "Which place do you want to see first?" ”

Xiaolu: "Workshop No. 1." ”

Workshop No. 1 is a cave with the same entrance as a train tunnel, which can accommodate two cars in parallel and in and out. The cave is being treated with reinforced concrete supports, and the underground road has not yet been treated.

Walking dozens of meters, there is a hole on the right, and the words "No. 1 workshop" are written on the door of the hole.

Approaching the workshop, the floor and walls are made of reinforced concrete, and the equipment is neatly placed and running.

Xiaolu said: "Not bad. What about ores? ”

Zhou Baozhong: "The ore is processed in the outside workshop, preliminarily sorted, transported to another workshop, and separated again, and the finished product is not a few catties here." ”

Xiao Lu said: "Let's go to other laboratories and have a look." ”

Looking at the laboratory, Xiaolu was a little anxious.

To create an atomic bomb, you need a large number of scientists. But in this base, there is only a group of self-trained engineers, and there are almost no scientists. Later generations of great scientists who made atomic bombs either taught and studied at various universities in the southwest, or they did not go to university yet. It seems that the battle for talent at the Southwest Associated University is about to be stepped up.

In addition, the few ores obtained this time were not ideal. Without the raw materials, it would not be possible to build an atomic bomb, even if there was similar information.

Now, the only achievement is the explosives laboratory, the ** they produce has been successful, and the production process is also familiar.

After reading it, the group returned to Zhou Baozhong's command room.

The command room was simple, a large map that filled one wall, a large table, a few chairs, and next to it was a small room where the staff officers were sorting out documents. Except for the radio, there was not a single electric light in the headquarters, it was all candles. The entire base consumes all of Shuifeng's electricity, but the headquarters has no power available.

Xiaolu said: "This experiment is too electricity-intensive. ”

Zhou Baozhong said: "There is no way, all domestic electricity has been stopped." Shuifeng has a lot of electricity, but these machines are simply electric tigers. It's too much electricity. ”

Xiaolu said: "I hope that it will rain more now." ”

Zhou Baozhong said: "It's autumn, we must hurry. In the winter, when there is less water, there is not enough electricity. ”

The production of an atomic bomb is notoriously power-intensive. Historically, Beijing and the Soviet Union discussed that they would do it themselves, but the Soviet Union did not do it, saying that you don't need to do it, and that ours is enough to protect you. Besides, this thing is too power-hungry. Your country's electricity is far from sufficient.

Xiaolu: "Regarding electricity, I want to find a way to solve it. Anshan and other places are not far from here, so find a way to send electricity over. In addition, I will go to Kannai to find some hydropower experts to build a hydropower plant. Oil, small generators, anything that can make electricity, I'll bring you everything. Pour out the strength of the whole Northeast, even if you don't wear pants, you have to get it out. This is the determination of the central authorities. ”

Zhou Baozhong said: "I know this determination. At the beginning, when I asked what kind of weapons were produced, you and the vice-chairman did not say. Actually, I've already guessed pretty much. I'm going to build an advanced military industry. ”

Xiaolu: "I still can't disclose what exactly is produced. However, secrecy is ten times stricter than that of Yichun's arsenal. As for the new products to be tested in the explosives laboratory, a laboratory should be built first, and the first thing to do is to do it. However, the focus is on construction, prospecting, and selection of ores. ”

Zhou Baozhong said: "There is a shortage of technical talents. It's too lacking. ”

Xiaolu: "I know. A thousand more people are not enough. I'll do my best to fix this. ”

Xiaolu: "It's not far from the county seat, and it's not far from North Korea. Is there a problem on both sides? ”

Zhou Baozhong: "Now, several large cities have been liberated, and equipment transportation can begin. ”

Xiaolu: "I brought the files of the device. Go and get them, and bring them back with your great forces. What's missing? ”

Zhou Baozhong: "Materials." Steel, chemical raw materials, all kinds of materials we are short of. ”

Xiaolu: "Where's the grain?" Do you have enough to eat when you farm your own land? ”

Zhou Baozhong: "In the mountains here, the yield is not high. But it's okay, I have 1,000 people farming, and when the farming is busy, I have more land, which can feed tens of thousands of us. ”

Xiaolu: "Okay. In a while, I'll send in the first scientists. When they came in, they all changed their names. Only pseudonyms are used. The real name, except for a few insiders, is going to rot in the stomach. ”

Zhou Baozhong: "I have an idea. ”

Xiaolu: "Please speak." ”

Zhou Baozhong: "I have tens of thousands of troops here, and after the peak period of construction has passed, they will not be needed." I think I'd like to draw some people and attack all over the mountainous areas of this area, including the other side of the Yalu River. If I take this piece down, the safety will be reassured. ”

Xiaolu: "Yes. Taking the initiative is the best security defense. I'll give you some reliable troops to put under your command. They were placed on the periphery, they were in charge of fighting the war, they were in charge of transporting supplies in. Your original person is in charge of production. I know that your current officers and soldiers are more or less technical experts, specialists, and treasures, and they can't go to war. ”

Zhou Baozhong: "That's good." There are some mechanical facilities, which are impossible to manufacture in Kwandian, I don't know how? ”

Xiaolu: "Liaodong, from Dalian to Anshan, from Fushun to Shenyang, is the heavy industry base originally arranged by the Japanese. Now we have taken it down, and all the factories are under military control. The troops and the government in these places have set up special committees to resume production as soon as possible. Coordinated by the Northeast Bureau, they will produce what you need. ”

Zhou Baozhong: "It's not easy. ”

Xiaolu: "We want to make sure that there are no detours at all. Success is certain. The key is organization and implementation. ”

A large number of intellectuals that Xiaolu originally recruited were all staff officers, and they did all this work. In addition, northern Shaanxi also supported a group of intellectuals. What they have to do is to take the most mature production process in the computer and turn it into design drawings and design documents.

No detours at all.
