After Liu Gen answered all the questions for Kong Jue, it was almost noon. Speaking of which, in order to answer the questions for Kong Jue, Liu Gen wasted a morning.

"Foreman Liu, thank you for answering these questions for me." Kong Jue bowed.

After asking so many questions from Liu Gen, Kong Jue clearly realized the gap between him and Liu Gen. He was older than Liu Gen, but in many aspects, he could not compare with Liu Gen. He did not directly call Liu Gen and called Liu Gen foreman Liu, which represents Kong Jue's mentality change.

Liu Gen quickly reached out to support Kong Jue, "Brother Kong, why are you doing this? We are communicating equally. When we are helping you answer questions, I have learned a lot of new things myself."

Reviewing the old and learning the new, Liu Gen also constantly sorted out the relevant knowledge in his mind in the process of answering Kong Jue's various questions. From this knowledge, Liu Gen discovered many problems in himself. When Liu Gen discovered these problems and solved them, he was once again improved.

Kong Jue didn't say anything, he looked at Liu Gen with some emotion. In Kong Jue's opinion, Liu Gen was just taking care of his own face. In the arsenal, Kong Jue still has some reputation. Many workers know Kong Jue's existence and know that Kong Jue is a genius young man.

Feeling Kong Jue's gaze at him, Liu Gen smiled bitterly in his heart. He realized that Kong Jue might have misunderstood his meaning. But there are too many people here, and Liu Gen can't explain in detail with Kong Jue. I hope Kong Jue will not be affected too much.

"It's noon now, it's time for lunch, for comrades in the arsenal."

"Comrades have been here for a whole morning and should be hungry. I hope that comrades can leave the artillery department in an orderly manner. Everyone has a lot of work to do." Liu Gen looked at the workers of various departments present and spoke sincerely.

The factory of the Artillery Department is not small, and it is not a problem to accommodate two or three hundred people. However, because Liu Gen answered the questions for Kong Jue, the Artillery Department was directly filled with workers. If the workers on the periphery did not leave, the other workers would not be able to leave the Artillery Department at all.

Foreman Qi and others looked at Liu Gen's position. In Liu Gen, they seemed to see the hope of the future of the arsenal. Compared with other young people, Liu Gen has become much more mature and rarely can see the side of the young people in Liu Gen.

It is not impossible to find young people like Liu Gen in the Eighth Route Army. These young people who have become mature and steady have too many things on their backs and they are under too much pressure. Young people should have the vitality and naughtiness of young people, but now due to the war, young people like Liu Gen can only make themselves desperately mature and stable.

"We also need to work hard! We can't let young people do everything." Foreman Qi took the lead and left, as if he had a little more firmness.

Several other leaders of various parts of the arsenal were a little silent. After a moment, they looked at each other and could see the extra firmness in each other's eyes. Liu Gen, a young man, was working hard to change the arsenal and to make the arsenal better. What do they need to do?

On weekdays, the heads of various departments work very hard at work, but now they realize that they need to work harder! In such an era, as long as they are still alive, they have to work hard! After death, there is too much time to rest.

Several people in charge left the artillery department quietly and stayed in the artillery department this morning and listened carefully to Liu Gen's answer to Kong Jue. They also learned a lot. Now that they left, they are not going to disturb Liu Gen. I think Liu Gen will be a little tired this morning.

Liu Gen did not notice that Foreman Qi and the others had come. By the time he took Kong Jue to leave the artillery department, twenty minutes had passed. In fact, too many people came to the artillery department this morning. After all these people left, Liu Gen and his friends checked the machine tool equipment of the artillery department and left the artillery department for lunch.

Liu Gen is still very concerned about the machine tool equipment of the artillery department, which is related to the speed of his manufacturing of rocket launchers. With good enough machine tool equipment, it will not take too long to manufacture rocket launchers. However, the machine tool equipment of the arsenal is not good. If you want to successfully manufacture rocket launchers, there are still many problems that need to be solved.

After lunch, Liu Gen brought Kong Jue and others to work. They didn't have much work in the afternoon, they just needed to do some preparations before rocket launcher manufacturing.

Under Liu Gen's leadership, no problems occurred during the preparation period, and everything went very smoothly. Because Liu Gen explained a lot of things in the morning, Kong Jue and others did not show any impatience when they were doing the preparations. They were very attentive.

At work, Liu Gen saw the performances of Kong Jue and others, and he was very satisfied.

Manufacturing rocket launchers is not a simple matter. There will inevitably be many problems during this period, and solving these problems requires sufficient patience.

During Liu Gen's construction of rocket launchers, he received an order from the division commander. The students of the first phase had already received enough learning in the artillery school. Next, they needed to send them to various troops for enough practical combat to ensure that they could grow up quickly.

When Liu Gen was sent away, he was extremely reluctant to let go. After spending so long with these students, Liu Gen had a deep relationship with them. Thinking that these students would inevitably suffer certain casualties when they entered various troops, Liu Gen felt a little reluctant to let them leave and continue to stay by his side. Perhaps these students would not be in danger of their lives.

However, Liu Gen also knew that it was unrealistic to keep these students by his side. In the end, he only left three students led by Wang Chao.

It is worth mentioning that the leader of the secret service regiment also deliberately wanted several students to leave. He had known a lot about Liu Gen from the bosses, and was still very confident in the students trained by Liu Gen himself. In the opinion of the leader of the regiment, even if these students could not do this as Liu Gen, they would definitely be stronger than ordinary artillery soldiers.

Leader Ou was very smart. He did not miss this opportunity. He even said that in order to get a few more students, he specially asked for a command from the bosses. In the end, Leader Ou successfully took away six students.

It is already very good to be able to take away six students. You should know that the 129th Division has a lot of troops, and there are a lot of students in the first phase, but there are not too many students actually assigned to each unit. Most of the troops can only get two or three students. There are not many troops that can get several students like the secret service regiment, and there are not many in the entire 129th Division.

After the students were assigned to various troops, the size of the artillery school became much smaller, and the soldiers of the Security Department only needed to conduct training every day. During this period, Liu Gen sent soldiers to find Chen Ergou's traces, but he could not find Chen Ergou. After many inquiries, he learned that Chen Ergou rushed into the depths of the Taihang Mountains with the soldiers, and must have successfully got rid of the Japanese troops.

After contacting the troops in the Taihang Mountains, Liu Gen confirmed that Chen Ergou and others were still alive. Chen Ergou took more than 20 people to lure the Japanese troops, and finally rushed into the depths of the Taihang Mountains. Chen Ergou and others had less than ten people. From the changes in their troops, Liu Gen could imagine how dangerous Chen Ergou and others would be when lure the Japanese.

Since the Japanese mobilization troops were still rampant in the base area, Chen Ergou and others could not meet with Liu Gen for a short time. In their state, it would be feasible to stay in the Taihang Mountains for a period of time. If Chen Ergou and others were forced to meet with Liu Gen, once they encountered the Japanese mobilization troops on the road, Chen Ergou and others would only be even more dangerous.

After confirming the news about Chen Ergou and others, Liu Gen could not invest much concern in the manufacturing of rocket launchers. Only when he actually made rocket launchers could he clearly feel the difficulty. Even if the rocket launcher had not high requirements for steel, Liu Gen still encountered a lot of trouble when making gun barrels.

Under the limitations of objective conditions, it is difficult to improve the quality of steel in the arsenal. The only thing Liu Gen and others can do is to work hard to make better gun barrels based on the existing steel.

After Liu Gen and his team made qualified gun barrels, they began to worry about the gunpowder of the rocket launcher. Fortunately, at this time, the arsenal made progress in gunpowder research, and the gunpowder was successfully manufactured. For this reason, Liu Gen specially applied to Director Xu for some ammonium nitrate gunpowder to make rockets.

In terms of power, ammonium nitrate gunpowder is undoubtedly much stronger than the black gunpowder commonly used in arsenals. Liu Gen and others also know the power of ammonium nitrate gunpowder and are very cautious when making rockets, so there is no big problem.

Ammonium nitrate gunpowder is nothing to other countries, and may not be too difficult, but for the Eighth Route Army Arsenal, it is still quite difficult to produce ammonium nitrate gunpowder. During this period, in order to successfully develop ammonium nitrate gunpowder, the gunpowder R&D department of the arsenal suffered a lot of casualties. Every time the explosion sounded, it might take away the lives of R&D personnel.

There are not many gunpowders applied for from Director Xu. Many places in the arsenal need this new type of gunpowder. The ammunition produced with this gunpowder will no longer be embarrassing. However, even if the gunpowder department of the arsenal works overtime to produce ammonium nitrate gunpowder, it cannot fully meet the needs of the arsenal, which makes ammonium nitrate gunpowder popular in the arsenal.

Liu Gen knew the importance of gunpowder well. He wanted to go to the gunpowder department to contribute to the development of new gunpowder, but as soon as Liu Gen revealed such an idea, he was severely stopped by Director Xu. Liu Gen is a genius, and no matter what he did, he made a lot of achievements. It is precisely because Liu Gen is a genius that he needs to be protected enough.

When Director Xu took over the arsenal, he received the instructions from the bosses to pay attention to Liu Gen and not let Liu Gen do any dangerous things in the arsenal. At the beginning, Director Xu was a little dissatisfied. What if Liu Gen is so powerful? He is just a young man, how much is his real ability?

But now, Director Xu clearly saw Liu Gen's ability, so he naturally would not have any idea of ​​letting Liu Gen take risks.

In order to prevent Liu Gen from entering the Gunpowder Department without obeying the order, Director Xu also asked Commander Ou to ask for two soldiers, so that the two soldiers would always follow Liu Gen to watch Liu Gen and prevent Liu Gen from taking risks.

There are two soldiers around him all the time. Even if Liu Gen wants to enter the gunpowder department, it is impossible. Unless Liu Gen defeats these two soldiers, he will definitely not do this. How could Liu Gen easily attack them? In the end, Liu Gen could only get a piece of gunpowder information from the reputation mall, hoping to help the R&D personnel of the Gunpowder Department in this way.

When Liu Gen sent the data to the R&D personnel of the Gunpowder Department, the data was continuously studied by the R&D personnel. With their continuous research, the R&D work of the Gunpowder Department has made rapid progress. The only thing that restricts the development of the Gunpowder Department is the shortcomings in manpower. It is impossible to make up for this deficiency in a short period of time. It takes a long time to train these personnel.

In June, most of the construction of rocket launchers was completed, and only the engine problem inside the rocket needed to be solved. The engine requirements inside the rocket were not high. As a disposable product, the manufacturing of the engine did not require too good material, and it only needed to not affect the start of the rocket launcher.

Regarding the engines that make rockets, Liu Gen and the workers chose to make them by hand. It was not that Liu Gen did not want to use machine tools to make them, but because the machine tools were not accurate enough. The engines placed in the rockets were not large, and when the accuracy was insufficient, manual grinding would be faster.

In mid-June, Liu Gen and the Artillery Department successfully built a rocket launcher. Looking at the simple rocket launcher placed in the artillery department factory, Liu Gen and the personnel of the artillery department were extremely excited. Only by personally participating in the manufacturing of rocket launchers can we understand how difficult it is to create such seemingly simple rocket launchers.

This time, in order to successfully manufacture the rocket launcher, Liu Gen and others took about a month, and the speed was a bit too slow. Of course, the speed was so slow, which was also because Liu Gen and others had no experience in manufacturing for the first time, especially when they made some parts that could not be made with machine tools, it took too much time.

With the experience of successfully manufacturing rocket launchers, the speed will inevitably be much faster by the next time you manufacture it.

On June 20, the heads of various departments of the arsenal came to the secret service regiment. Today is the day for rocket launchers to carry out live ammunition shooting. Today's test launch also makes it feel like whether the arsenal will continue to produce such rocket launchers in the future.

"Genzi, how are you? Are you nervous?" After carefully observing the rocket launcher, Foreman Qi came to Liu Gen and asked with a smile.
Chapter completed!
