The morning bugle broke the tranquility of the forest. At this moment, the officers and soldiers quickly got up and began their daily routine of running exercises.
Last night, I and my wife first took an action to create life, and then made some arrangements for Natasha and the youth camp. Looking back on the whole day yesterday, it was really fulfilling.
All of this is not just about survival! In order to be able to arm ourselves to defend ourselves against the threat of war that is coming every step of the way!
Yang Ming got up quickly. Both husband and wife had their own important matters, and they could leave after dealing with the internal affairs.
With a small amount of luggage, Yang Mingzhi walked out and went straight to the division headquarters.
No one wanted to sleep in today. Everyone who was supposed to come gathered in the division office, including Salinchkin himself, who was particularly concerned about the fertilizer plant.
Obviously, maybe they were all excited about what happened today. Everyone didn't sleep well. One person yawned, and everyone yawned collectively.
Among all people, Yang Mingzhi is the most important. Salinchkin knows that if the fertilizer plant can produce output, he will have made another contribution. Based on its impact, he may even get another medal.
.It’s just that he seems to be in poor mental condition today, which is actually quite understandable. He, the deputy division commander, is too busy these days.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Yevlov stopped talking and said directly: "Comrades! We have waited for this day for a long time, and the fertilizer plant will start assuming today! Now, I announce that the action has begun!"
There were no crazy cheers, just a group of senior officers with sullen faces. They left the office, took a group of guards and related technical personnel and went straight to the arsenal.
The production at the arsenal factory continued all night, and as daybreak came, the work of exhausting smoke at night was also suspended. The workers on the night shift came off work to eat, and the workers on the day shift came to take over the shift on time. Everything was as usual.
The only difference was that the entrance to the warehouse where heavy equipment from the fertilizer plant was stored was already bustling with activity.
Among the many pieces of equipment, large and small pipes are not heavy. The team of workers responsible for assembling the equipment has taken the lead in moving these accessories out.
The real difficulty is those large stuffy tanks, which are reaction furnaces. Although they are said to be large-scale equipment, in fact, the total weight of the largest furnace is only three to four hundred kilograms.
Its approximately cylindrical body allows it to be pushed by human power.
It came off the production line from the foundry workshop and was finally transported to this warehouse. Of course, it was not just Liguschkov who organized a team of dozens of people to roll it in like a snowball, but a "gantry crane" was used.
To carry heavy materials, various types of cranes should be used. In various heavy industry factories in the Soviet Union, especially steel mills, cranes are naturally necessary. Due to the factors of the times, many of those equipment still use steam engines as power, unlike
All future generations will be electric.
However, even a steam engine is a luxury for Novgomel.
To transport hundreds of kilograms of stuffy cans to trucks, a crane must be used. So when Yang Mingzhi and others arrived at the arsenal, they saw a dozen people, shoulder to shoulder, shouting slogans and pushing the largest cans out of the warehouse.
The land in Novgomel is generally a bit soft, so in order to allow the jar to be pushed away smoothly, wooden planks were laid on its intended path.
These were exactly what Liguschkov was responsible for. When he saw that a group of senior officials had finally arrived, with novel expressions on their faces, he hurried over and began to report on their work.
Yang Mingzhi knew everything about how to transport the heaviest equipment onto the truck, but Salinchkin was full of curiosity.
During the previous visit, he knew very well that at the entrance of the arsenal's foundry workshop, which was hidden in a small clearing in the forest, there stood a heavy metal equipment like a gantry crane. Factory director Li Gushikov called this thing
Gantry crane.
This completely broke his inherent concept. This was clearly a powerful crane, but its overall structure was just like the horizontal bar, a gymnastics facility in school.
In fact, the nature of the gantry crane is somewhat like a giant horizontal bar. Its lifting capacity is extremely strong. The source of power is either powerful electricity or a powerful steam engine. Even if Salinchkin does not care much about the industrial development of the Soviet Union, Salinchkin
Lynch King also knew that how could this equipment just stand on a few steel pillars? Where is the source of its power? Could it be human power? For example, dozens of people pull the rope, and they just pull up the heavy thing.
?It’s crazy to think about it.
He answered many of the commissioner's questions and explained some matters to other officers, except for the matter of how to load a few cans into the truck, Liguschkov deliberately kept it secret.
The way this guy held his head high and his chest high, Yang Mingzhi looked angry and funny. This was not only the etiquette he should have for an officer, but also showing off his abilities.
"How do we load the truck? It's better to ask the officers to come and visit in person. Just describing it in words is not as good as seeing it." As he said that, Liguschkov stretched out his right hand and acted as a guide himself, taking everyone to see the place.
Weird crane.
…
It stands at the entrance of the arsenal's casting workshop. Several trucks are already parked here because this is the assembly point for operations.
Its appearance is very similar to that of a general gantry crane. It has four legs that step deeply into the relatively soft soil. Due to its relatively large weight, the entire body has sunk into the mud. Even so, it is still not stable enough.
There are four three-meter-long steel drills on each side, which are firmly inserted into the ground.
Even so, its maximum lifting weight is very limited. Yang Mingzhi has no idea where its limit is. Maybe four or five tons? It is no problem to at least lift hundreds of kilograms of equipment off the ground.
It still took time to lift the largest stuffy tank, so Yang Mingzhi turned his attention elsewhere.
The workers will not feel uncomfortable because of a high-ranking military officer. They work step by step.
Everyone transports small parts here and stacks them on a truck.
As for the other trucks, two were parked here, and something special had been piled on them - burnt bricks.
There are not only many charcoal-burning workshops but also brick-making factories near the blacksmith village. The brick-making material is the most common local peat soil, so the fired bricks are also black, and their hardness is harder than ordinary red clay bricks.
Some.
In fact, as a building material, bricks are generally better than wood, especially when made into hollow bricks. In the cold winter of Belarus, their ability to withstand the cold is stronger than that of wood carvings. Due to the current weak industrial strength, these bricks can only
Used in continuing parts, such as as the base for various tanks and pipes in fertilizer plants.
Salinchkin was already very familiar with this. He also knew that because of the sulfur mines in the southern hot spring area, limestone and sulfur are associated with each other. After some processing, these limes eventually became more reliable cement. The reason why it is reliable is precisely
It was because it rained some time ago that the cement became damp, and the products in several sacks hardened to varying degrees!
There are bricks, cement, and river sand separated from the bottom of the Pripet River.
The materials for Ling Ling Zong Zong were prepared separately, and finally gathered here today. Although cement cannot harden in one day, at least it will become indestructible in a short period of time. By that time, it will be the day when the fertilizer plant starts construction.
The only thing to do now is wait.
Wait for the workers to push the largest stuffy tank over, pass it through the gantry crane, and load it onto the truck.
