Eight hundred and twentieth chapters under construction
The morning bugle sounded the rhythm of a new day, and the soldiers were the first to get out of the tent, but the workers moved slower.
Before that, the chef in charge of the rebellion had already gotten up, so the majority of workers could have hot meals early in the morning.
The morning fog lingered in this area with abundant water and grass, and the air was a bit humid. Yang Mingzhi's worry about the cement becoming damp did not come true after all, because those bonfires burned all night long!
Like many workers, Yang Mingzhi also took the lunch box that had been washed by the two female soldiers to get breakfast.
As a senior military officer, he did not have to queue up like ordinary workers and went directly to eat the canned meat that had been heated in a special oven.
Due to the airdrop, canned food is no longer rare and precious, and I don’t have to put on a show. I just take the cans away and eat them with bread while watching the queue here.
Anna and Azalea, two female soldiers, once again acted as rice cooks.
"Hey, compared to those fat aunts, you two are very eye-catching!" Yang Mingzhi stopped caring about them and had to start taking action after breakfast.
…
The sun finally broke through the horizon, and the golden sunlight shone on the swamp. The fog over the forests and ponds quickly dissipated, and the construction site became lively again.
More than a dozen people gathered around the back of the truck containing the largest stuffy tank. They worked together to grab two thin steel plates. When the door was opened, the steel plates became a slide.
Yang Mingzhi was worried. He knew basically nothing about engineering construction, so he could only watch from the sidelines.
A worker held up two wooden sticks and shouted slogans. In the truck compartment, four people each held a crowbar, followed the command, shouted "Ula!", and pried the stuffy tank down the slide.
It rolled down hard, came into contact with the earth, and created a deep ravine.
After reducing the load, the truck suddenly became lighter. The shaking caused the two workers to fall over.
Yang Mingzhi's heart was twisted. When he thought about it, the jar was made of metal. It was strange that it broke after such an impact.
"Well done! Comrades, we will move on to the next action immediately!" Yang Mingzhi clapped his hands and walked over. His presence was not only a form of supervision, but also gave courage to the workers.
Following Liguschkov's order, more than a dozen people used crowbars or their hands to push the stuffy tank to the predetermined location, preparing for the most critical process.
According to the design drawing, all the equipment of this fertilizer plant is higher than the ground. The necessary metal supports were nervously erected last night. The workers first swarmed up and dug some one-meter-deep pits, and then inserted the steel drills used for weighing into the ground.
.
Even though this is a swamp, because the area selected is relatively dry and no groundwater seeped out during the excavation process, people's biggest concerns are certainly gone.
A stable foundation is very important for this factory. In peacetime, just digging the soil to fix the foundation will take a long time. How could Yang Mingzhi not know this? These are extraordinary times, and all actions must be fast. Fertilizers
A factory is just a tool, and the finished products it produces are the most important. In a sense, these equipment are also consumables.
No one can guarantee that enemy bombers will not come here and drop bombs to sweep away everything. If it takes a lot of effort to build a fertilizer plant, Novgomel does not have the human and financial resources.
The expected fertilizer plant almost ignores most of the safety measures. For example, the foundation is just trying to keep it as solid as possible. As the land settles, the entire equipment is destined to tilt. It is necessary to measure as much as possible before serious problems occur.
Producing ammonium nitrate is the right way.
Because at most, in 1944, with the start of Operation Bagration, the entire Belarus was liberated in a short period of time. The historical responsibility of this "wartime fertilizer plant" was only two years, and it really did not need many precision workers.
Each steel rod is connected to each other by steel plates, and they are fixed with rivets and bolts. Everything was assembled quickly last night as planned.
Yang Mingzhi admired the worker's speed, which saved a lot of time and allowed the canister to be assembled this morning.
Yang Mingzhi patted Liguschkov on the shoulder with confidence: "Comrade! The most critical task is up to you!"
"I promise to complete the mission!"
This middle-aged man hit his chest hard. He was not just showing off, no one knew this crane better than him!
The wet thick hemp rope mixed with steel wire was tied up again. All the hemp ropes were gathered in one place and hung on the hook of the crane arm. In any case, this modified truck is not an engineering vehicle after all, and its four fixed legs are manually fixed.
Pull it out from the chassis and stick it to the ground. Even so, because the ground is relatively soft, the crane is not stable.
There was no time to waste any more time, Liguschkov issued the final order.
The counterweight of the crane arm is scrap metal parts packed in sacks. They throw the bags into the counterweight net bag one by one. After the gravity is finally reached, the final stuffy tank is finally lifted up.
Yang Mingzhi still remembered that Liguschkov himself was not very optimistic about this crane. It seemed that he underestimated his own masterpiece. The load-bearing capacity of this crane is probably four or five tons. With the counterweight, it can carry
It’s less than two tons, and it’s obviously no problem to move freely under the push of workers.
Just like this, Liguschkov became bolder and found that he could quickly complete the key assembly.
"That's it now! Equipment operator, get on here! We'll be working in mid-air!"
The reason why those big pits were dug was because the crane could not completely lift the stuffy tank off the ground, and the workers had already been mentally prepared for troublesome equipment.
Now a huge opportunity lies in front of us. The canister is hung directly in front of the bracket. The various prefabricated holes between the bracket and the canister are already corresponding to each other. The equipment is as simple as inserting the screws in!
The workers started taking action at around 7 o'clock in the morning, and by only 9:30, the assembly of the largest stuffy tank was completed.
This big jar is like a giant king oyster mushroom growing on the ground, except that it is completely black.
Yang Mingzhi suppressed his inner excitement. He originally thought that it would take several days to assemble the parts into a huge device. Salinchkin had to hold a key enlarged meeting, and he might be delayed because of his own affairs.
The stuffy tank is installed like this and stands here spectacularly. Without this biggest trouble, the assembly of other pipes, valves, and some small stuffy tanks can be completed today!
Rome was not built in a day, that’s because the materials for building the city were not prepared in advance! In the future, various building materials merchants have already prepared the key materials, so there will be an architectural miracle that China will build a high-rise building in fifteen days.
With the development of the times, such miracles have gradually become commonplace. Even for a residential building with more than 30 floors, the construction period can be compressed into one year, which is unimaginable in this era.
Therefore, the main equipment of today's fertilizer plant must be assembled, and the remaining work is probably to use the prepared fired bricks and the cement that has been intensively mixed to reinforce the foundation.
Some of the materials for the smelting equipment are armored vehicles abandoned by the enemy. They have their own metal chromium, which makes these stuffy tanks and pipes have some rust-proof energy supply.
Counting on the iron-chromium alloy to prevent rust is too reluctant. The fertilizer factory still needs a factory building, and it also needs the same smoke removal structure as the arsenal. These problems still need to be solved, but even if the factory building is not built and the waste is not directed into the water for purification, the factory
It can still be produced.
In this situation, Yang Mingzhi even thought optimistically: "Maybe tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, chemical fertilizers will be produced!"
