"Oops! Comrade Deputy Division Commander! And Comrade Commissioner! You are unprepared for your sudden visit to me. Do you have something particularly important to arrange?" Liguschkov straightened his back and patted his chest to assure: "Don't worry, as long as it's
Even if workers like me don't sleep, we will complete the assigned tasks with quality and quantity!"
Yang Mingzhi burst into laughter, and introduced with a smile to Salinchkin next to him: "You must have seen this yesterday, Comrade Liguschkov, a senior military worker and the director of the arsenal. 23US. He is the fastest updated
That’s why it’s so reassuring.”
"Very good! This man's political awareness is admirable." Salinch said with a golden head, "Now that he has arrived, we should carry out the following work. Regarding the fertilizer plant, you can proceed further."
When I heard it was about the fertilizer plant, it must be the factory equipment. Gushikov had been holding back on reporting these matters to Yang Mingzhi, but due to the bad timing yesterday. The troops were back, but the whole
The villages were all there. The elite troops led by Balzen, with a maximum strength of three battalions and not elite armed forces, attacked the entire 707th Division. Although the Germans suffered heavy losses, they also suffered heavy casualties.
The chief must have been very busy yesterday, but he should also report on the progress of the fertilizer plant. Since the chief also personally visited for this matter, he knew everything about it.
Without bothering Yang Mingzhi to ask in person, Liguschkov said: "Sir, regarding the large equipment of the fertilizer plant, we have completed manufacturing it according to the drawings. The remaining work is relatively simple, as long as the huge steel tanks and steel pipes have been
The messy parts need to be assembled in a suitable place, and Ivanov's personal guidance is needed for the rest. The production of fertilizer will be just around the corner."
"It's only been a few days, and the equipment has been completely built?" Yang Mingzhi was surprised that their progress was really so fast.
Liguschkov looked proud: "I know it's meaningless just talking. Sir, you still want to see real equipment, so come with me. I'll lead everyone to the warehouse to see our heavy equipment!"
Most of those huge steel tanks and pipes were manufactured before the airdrop operation began, so Yang Mingzhi was not shocked at all when he saw them again.
These equipments are displayed in this huge wooden warehouse, with a large number of metal pipes of various diameters neatly stacked, and several stoves as tall as a person standing.
This scene really surprised Salinchkin again.
"I visited here yesterday, and I was still surprised when I saw these equipment today. I would never have imagined that in the swamps deep in your country, there is almost nothing here, but these heavy equipment can still be built?!" He said, as if
As if attracted by something, he walked straight towards these huge bottles and jars, subconsciously reaching out to touch them as if touching a treasure.
Liguschkov knew very well that this was the leader's commissioner from Moscow. He had never seen Stalin in person in his life, and this commissioner was the person next to him. If he performed well, he would have a bright future.
.
Therefore, he stepped forward and introduced: "Most of these equipment are cast according to traditional methods. Theoretically, we here lack metal materials and fuel, but in previous battles we destroyed many of the enemy's
We collected armored vehicles and scrap copper and iron without hesitation. As for the fuel for smelting steel, it was naturally our own charcoal."
"But charcoal is still not as useful as coking coal!" Salinchkin said meaningfully.
"Yes, although charcoal has its limitations, it does not mean that it cannot make coke."
This also involves chemical engineering. Salinchkin basically knows nothing about it, and Yang Mingzhi, who is known as a resourceful man, only knows one thing.
Coking charcoal sounds like a fantasy. It is very good as a fuel, but it contains very little olefins.
Stroking these dark equipment, they may have been armored vehicles or steel bars from the ruins of the city. There is no shortage of metal in this arsenal. The reason is not because there are any iron ores here. It is purely because they find new ways to collect metal on the battlefield and then use them
Chemistry experts separate various metals.
All these processes require high-energy fuel. Is it possible to rely solely on charcoal? Moreover, the ultimate purpose of these equipments is to produce chemical fertilizers. To make chemical fertilizers, important processes must be carried out to produce ammonia.
Even though Salinchkin had little knowledge of chemistry, during the First Five-Year Plan period, under the authorization of Stalin, some large-scale fertilizer plants began to be built. Although he did not understand the specific steps of manufacturing fertilizers, a large amount of coking coal was sent to the factories. Those were not only
As reaction fuels, they themselves are reaction raw materials.
Wait! If they only cut down big trees to make charcoal, and just use this to make fertilizer, then with the extensive forest resources in Belarus, wouldn’t there be raw materials everywhere?!
Thinking of this, he immediately became very excited: "Charcoal may be used to produce fertilizer, but our country has been using good coking coal as fuel. Now we turn big trees into charcoal, and then turn the charcoal into fertilizer. This way the war is over
After that, won’t Belarus’ agriculture develop explosively?!”
"This may be feasible." Yang Mingzhi took three steps forward: "Comrade Commissioner, there are some complex chemical reactions involved here. I'm not very clear about them. Only the factory director Liguschkov and the man who is still in Catfish Village
Chemistry professor Ivanov knows best.
I can tell you clearly now that charcoal contains a small amount of olefins, but good coking coal contains a large amount of these substances. Making fertilizers requires various olefins, so the cost of using charcoal as raw material is higher than that of coking coal.
A lot. Now is an extraordinary period. Even if we cut down a lot of trees, we can only produce one nitrogen fertilizer, which is enough to meet the needs of tens of thousands of us."
The word Sarinchkin, a key material for the manufacture of fertilizers, sounded vague to him. However, he understood that charcoal was just a substitute for coking coal, and its use was strictly necessary now and in an emergency.
Salinchkin's head seemed to understand: "I will never become an expert in the chemical industry. Experts like you are enough! As long as we produce enough chemical fertilizers for our own use, once the potato yields are high, the abundant food will not only
The people who feed Novgomel might not be so tempted by the food that the people who were enslaved by the Germans would spontaneously escape to us in their families."
"Such things happen all the time." Yang Mingzhi reminded: "Our political commissar, Comrade Yelenkina, her men have to interrogate some people who have fled every day, many of whom are city residents. I am very sorry.
, these people are not farmers, they have forgotten how to farm. But they are the real working class, and as long as we have at least handmade workshops, they can easily start producing military supplies!"
"This is the best." The delighted Salinchkin continued to hammer on these large equipment: "Workers in the chemical industry are not qualified by ordinary farmers. Only workers from the city who are engaged in heavy industry are qualified for this job. I sincerely hope that this will happen
