In March 1941, winter passed and spring entered, and the temperature in the base area rose a lot.
In the past few months in the arsenal, Liu Gen has not forgotten to practice Bajiquan. Unless he is too busy to spare time, Liu Gen will definitely practice Bajiquan every day. Liu Gen knows that no matter what he wants to do, he must do it.
With a good enough body, it is naturally impossible to carry out professional training while staying in the arsenal. The only thing Liu Gen can do is to continuously practice Bajiquan to improve his physical fitness.
The Baji Quan he learned from the monks was very good. The more he practiced Baji Quan, the more Liu Gen felt that Baji Quan was profound and profound. It would take a long time to really practice this boxing in one's bones.
In order to prevent the enemy from getting into the arsenal again, the Eighth Route Army headquarters specially sent a regiment to protect the safety of the arsenal. There were also some practitioners in this regiment. Liu Gen didn't have much contact with them, but he also knew
These practitioners are quite good, and with Liu Gen's achievements, if he wants to, he will definitely be able to learn various boxing techniques from these warriors.
But Liu Gen did not choose to do this. He chose to concentrate on practicing Bajiquan. When he could engrave Bajiquan into his bones, it would not be too late to learn other boxing techniques.
After several months of study, Liu Gen has improved a lot and has become proficient in all aspects. In every department Liu Gen has worked in, they have rated Liu Gen quite well as he is patient, serious and able to endure hardships.
, coupled with Liu Gen’s strong learning ability, how could it not be improved? It’s just that in these departments, Liu Gen didn’t come up with much.
After working in various departments in the arsenal, Liu Gen found that there were still many problems in the arsenal. For example, the division of various departments was too rough and could be made more detailed. However, Liu Gen also knew that there was no way around this situation.
, the arsenal is so big, if you want to be more detailed, you will undoubtedly need to expand the scale of the arsenal.
As for the arsenal, expanding its scale means that the probability of being discovered by the Japanese will increase a lot, which is an important factor restricting the development of the arsenal.
Like Huangya Cave, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are not many places that are difficult for the Japanese to find. What's more, the establishment of the arsenal also needs to take into account various factors such as transportation, water sources, resources, etc. If you want to expand the arsenal, you need to find
It takes a suitable place. Even though there are many mountains and hills in Shanxi, it is too difficult to find a suitable place.
During this period, the workers in the lathe department were not idle. They were busy manufacturing various machine tools. After Liu Gen left the lathe department, Kong Jue and Foreman Qi each came up with a machine tool they designed.
Liu Gen also returned to the lathe department to inspect. The machine tool designed by the two people was a bit crude, but it had all the functions it should have and could be put directly into production.
The machine tools designed by Foreman Qi and Kong Jue made up for some of the shortcomings of the lathe department and provided more convenience for workers to manufacture production machine tools. However, due to the increase in machine tools in the lathe department and the enthusiasm of the workers,
If it is too high, the steel reserves in the arsenal will decrease rapidly.
If Director Cheng had not discovered this matter in time and prevented the lathe department from wanting to manufacture machine tools, then the steel stored in the arsenal might have been used up directly. You must know that the amount of steel stored in the arsenal is not a small amount.
Steel was sent to the arsenal after the troops dismantled the Japanese railways during the Hundred Regiments War. Later, steel was also delivered from time to time.
According to the arsenal's previous production efficiency, this steel was enough to last the arsenal for half a year, but now, in just a few months, all this steel has been used up.
For this reason, Factory Director Cheng can only report to the headquarters, hoping that the headquarters can let each army get some steel to send to the arsenal. The headquarters knows the arsenal’s demand for steel, but currently the headquarters does not have many ways to solve the steel needs of the arsenal. They only have two
There are two ways, one is to purchase it from the masses, the other is to demolish the Japanese railways and make steel.
There is not much risk in purchasing from the masses, but the masses do not have much steel, so there is not much steel that can be purchased.
As for demolishing the Japanese railway, that requires the soldiers to take a lot of risks. Since the Eighth Route Army organized a large-scale force to destroy the railway, the Japanese have increased their patrols near the railway lines. Attacking the Japanese railway is okay.
, and it is not a simple matter to dismantle the railway built by the Japanese and transport it away.
The steel in the arsenal cannot be replenished, and the workers finally have free time. They have continued to work so busy, and it is good to give the workers a break now. During the Chinese New Year, because there is too much work to do in the arsenal,
None of the workers took a holiday and stayed at work even during the Chinese New Year.
Perhaps the difference between the Chinese New Year and the usual times is that you can eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year. You can also eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year in the arsenal. Each person has three dumplings, and no more. There is no way. There are always Japs troops in the base area, and the Eighth Route Army troops are
Supplies are not very sufficient, and the same is true for the arsenal.
During the Chinese New Year, if Director Cheng hadn't specially used the grain reserves of the arsenal, the workers might still not be able to eat dumplings. Director Cheng did this, naturally, to let everyone eat something good during the New Year, even if every day
A person only has three dumplings, so at least he has passed the New Year.
In just one year, Liu Gen has experienced too many things. The busy work in the arsenal left Liu Gen no time to pay attention to the passage of time. During the Chinese New Year, Liu Gen only knew when he was eating dumplings.
It's New Year's Eve time.
"Genzi, Director Cheng is looking for you." A worker came to inform Liu Gen. He looked at Liu Gen with obvious respect in his eyes.
Workers in all departments are well aware of Liu Gen's performance in the arsenal. They respect Liu Gen very much. In addition, Liu Gen will answer every question carefully and help everyone.
Continuously improving himself has naturally made Liu Gen the most popular figure among the arsenal workers.
"Okay, I'll polish this part and go." Liu Gen raised his head and said with a smile.
The parts in his hand were about to be polished, and it would take less than two minutes. Liu Gen naturally wanted to finish polishing the parts before going to find Director Cheng. Of course, this was also because Liu Gen could not see it from the worker's face.
Too much nervousness, knowing that Director Cheng is looking for me should not be an urgent matter to solve, otherwise Liu Gen would not be so leisurely.
Liu Gen lowered his head and continued to polish the parts in his hands. There were many calluses on his hands and the veins on his arms were exposed, making him look particularly strong.
