Everyone didn't wait long, and the biggest can was finally pushed over.
Its diameter is about two meters, and its blackened body has been filled with some mud. Such a device should have been painted with a layer of special gray paint that can provide anti-corrosion and energy supply. Due to the lack of conditions, it looks very sloppy.
No one cares about whether the appearance of a fertilizer plant is pleasing to the eye after it is built. It is just a large tool, and its only mission is to produce fertilizer.
Salinchkin had been waiting for this moment for half an hour. Looking at the dozen or so panting workers, he was really worried.
"It's really difficult for everyone. If we set up a small teleportation kneeling in the arsenal, you wouldn't have to work so hard." Salinchkin said casually, and Yang Mingzhi listened with interest.
Yes, the "guerrilla republic" in the history of that plane is roughly equivalent to Novgomel in this time and space. There is a small railway in its core area - they built it by themselves!
After all, Salinchkin was just talking casually. He turned around and looked at Liguschkov: "Comrade Director! Now please start your performance!"
"Да!"
Liguschkov readily agreed, eager to perform in front of the man with the highest political status.
Following the old guy's order, a strong roar of the engine came. Just as everyone was looking for the sound, a tank emerged from a secluded part of the forest.
This situation really surprised Salinchkin! He only had three BT light tanks in Novgomel, and he never thought that a steel chariot would suddenly appear here.
It didn't take him long to think about it, and he quickly understood the meaning behind it.
It turns out that the power source of this gantry crane is the tank!
Before, the gantry crane was used to hoist the stuffy cans on the truck after they came off the production line. At that time, many ropes were tied to the equipment, and then hung on a mixed rope of hemp rope and steel wire. The rope was passed around the bearing system in the middle of the gantry crane.
Allowing the truck to pull the rope, the equipment can be pulled off the ground.
It’s just that no matter how good the anti-skid is, trucks still have this risk. Only tanks using crawler tracks have no problem.
Chekov and his team are acting as a farm tractor team. The tanks are used as tractors to pull heavy plows in a mechanized manner to reclaim new land around the blacksmith village. It is for this reason that his tank team naturally participated in this project.
Moving work.
Because all the senior officers in the division and Commissioner Sarinchin were required to operate, Chekov did not dare to neglect it at all.
In this way, the stuffy tank was finally pushed and rolled to just below the crane arm. The workers tied eight turns of hemp rope around it. Finally, it was hooked by the iron hook on the mixed hemp rope, and the hook on the other end was naturally hooked on the tail of the tank.
.
The BT light tank has been used as a tractor in the army. It has no problem towing a large-caliber howitzer weighing more than one ton. The only disadvantage is that the fuel consumption is terrible.
Yang Mingzhi knew exactly what Liguschkov was going to do. Since he saw Salinchkin's serious look, he would tell him the inside story first. At this moment, Yang Mingzhi felt like an engineer.
The specialist is a very valued customer.
This is a metaphor, but it is also very real. Stalin will never treat scientists badly, especially in this war era! Selling his abilities to this commissioner is also for his own future.
"So that's it! You are very good at using existing materials to complete this technical problem." Salinchkin completely understood, and everyone was very happy to hear his praise.
Yang Mingzhi was not greedy for credit, so he pointed at Liguschkov who was directing the workers to operate and said: "That middle-aged man! He designed and manufactured this crane. If possible, he has made great contributions to the fertilizer plant.
When the war is over, he should be appropriately commended for his contribution in the war. This man is really unworthy of his talents to stay in the swamp, he..."
Salinchkin waved his hand. He had fully understood what the Chinese meant, and he smiled and said: "The organization will consider this matter. Please don't worry about it anymore. It is indeed unnecessary."
Don't worry. The organization will never miss a hero."
Yang Mingzhi was startled. This was a kind of recognition, and there was also a hint of warning. Maybe he shouldn't have said what he just said, and took credit for Liguschkov, who was not good at words. Was it too hasty?
…
The process of actually lifting the equipment and transporting it to the truck is very short, and the preliminary preparation work is quite cumbersome.
No one knows this job better than Liguschkov, who serves as commander and controls and supervises the entire shipment.
All the ropes have been firmly tied, and the truck has stopped directly in front of the stuffy tank. The iron hook is hung on the rear of the tank. Chekov, who is standing in the commander's command tower, makes a ready gesture.
Liguschkov did not delay any longer. As he waved his right hand, Chekov shouted into the cockpit, and a violent roar came from the tank.
The powerful engine of the tank was full of power, pulling the rope embedded with steel wires forward. I saw that the rope was hanging listlessly on the ground at the beginning, but now it was stretched straight.
In full view of everyone, the heavy stuffy tank was slowly lifted up, and the tracks of the tank on the other side also kicked up a lot of mud. Yang Mingzhi saw that the road was still a little soft, so that the tracks were moving very fast, but
The stuffy can can't be lifted very quickly either.
At this critical moment, the canister had been pulled to a sufficient height, and the truck reversed neatly, with the open compartment facing directly under the canister.
So, this is the largest flat-mounted vehicle with a stuffy tank...
For Liguschkov and his workers, it is not difficult to do this. In their opinion, it is a piece of cake, but in the eyes of Salinchkin, who knows little about industry, it is really difficult in his heart.
He kept praising: "Is there such an operation?"
The fact is that this large stuffy jar stopped smoothly in the carriage, and then the rope passed through the hole structure on its body and tied it firmly.
In this way, other cans can be successfully loaded into the new truck, and the most critical loading is considered complete.
In fact, Yang Mingzhi has been worried that there will be accidents in this process. This success has indeed proved that this gantry crane can be used in a great way, and it also shows its skills well in front of the commissioners.
Therefore, as the protagonist of the performance, Liguschkov ran over excitedly. "Reporting to the commander, the largest cargo has been loaded. Please give instructions!"
However, there is no need for Liguschkov to personally direct the next thing. When ordinary workers are loading the tanks, they have no intention of watching like the superiors. They just throw the general equipment onto the truck. Equipment of the fertilizer plant
After all the parts are installed, all that's left are personal items, especially the large number of camping tents.
There are still some tedious things. The convoy must be loaded with all the goods before it can set off.
