After Liu Gen answered all the questions for Kong Jue, it was almost noon. Speaking of which, Liu Gen wasted a whole morning trying to answer Kong Jue's questions.
"Engineer Liu, thank you for answering these questions for me." Kong Jue bowed.
After asking Liu Gen so many questions, Kong Jue clearly realized the gap between himself and Liu Gen. He was older than Liu Gen, but in many aspects, he could not compare with Liu Gen. He did not directly call Liu Gen by his name.
Calling Liu Gen as Engineer Liu represents Kong Jue's change of mentality.
Liu Gen quickly stretched out his hand to support Kong Jue, "Brother Kong, what are you doing like this? The two of us are communicating on an equal footing. While helping you answer your questions, I also learned a lot of new things myself."
Reviewing the past and learning the new, in the process of answering Kong Jue's various questions, Liu Gen also constantly sorted out the relevant knowledge in his mind. From this knowledge, Liu Gen discovered many problems in himself. When Liu Gen discovered
These problems, and after solving them, he got some improvement again.
Kong Jue was speechless. He looked at Liu Gen with some emotion. In Kong Jue's view, Liu Gen was just taking care of his own face. In the arsenal, Kong Jue still had some reputation, and many workers knew about Kong Jue's existence.
, knowing that Kong Jue is a talented young man.
Feeling Kong Jue's eyes on him, Liu Gen smiled bitterly in his heart. He realized that Kong Jue might have misunderstood what he meant. But there were too many people here, and Liu Gen couldn't explain it to Kong Jue in detail. He hoped that Kong Jue wouldn't
It would be great if it would be too much affected.
"Comrades in the arsenal, it's noon now, and it's time to have lunch."
"Comrades have been listening here all morning. You should be hungry too. I hope that comrades can leave the artillery department in an orderly manner. You all still have a lot of work to do." Liu Gen looked at the workers from various departments present.
, said sincerely.
The artillery department's factory building is not too small, and it is not a problem to accommodate two to three hundred people. However, because Liu Gen answered questions for Kong Jue, the artillery department was directly crowded with workers. If the workers on the periphery did not leave, then other workers would
The workers were also unable to leave the artillery department at all.
Foreman Qi and others looked at Liu Gen's position. In Liu Gen, they seemed to see the hope of the future of the arsenal. Compared with other young people, Liu Gen was much more mature, and it was rare to see that kind of personality in Liu Gen.
The young side.
It is not impossible to find young people like Liu Gen in the Eighth Route Army. These young people who have become mature and stable have too many things on their shoulders and they have too much pressure. Young people should have the characteristics of young people.
Vigorous and naughty, but now due to the war, young people like Liu Gen can only work hard to become mature and stable.
"We also need to work hard! We can't let young people do everything." Foreman Qi took the lead to leave, seemingly a little more determined.
The other heads of various departments in the arsenal were a little silent. After a moment, they looked at each other and could see the determination in each other's eyes. Liu Gen, a young man, was working hard to change the arsenal and make it better.
Well, these old people also need to do something!
On weekdays, they, the heads of various departments, work very hard, but now, they realize that they need to work harder! In such an era, as long as you are still alive, you have to work hard! Waiting to die
Finally, there is too much time to rest.
Several people in charge quietly left the artillery department. They stayed at the artillery department this morning and listened carefully to Liu Gen's answers to Kong Jue. They also learned a lot. Now that they are leaving, they are not going to disturb Liu Gen. They want to come here this morning.
By that time, Liu Gen would be somewhat tired.
Liu Gen didn't notice that Engineer Qi and the others had been here before. By the time he took Kong Jue away from the artillery department, twenty minutes had passed. Too many people came to the artillery department this morning. Waiting for these people
After everyone left, Liu Gen and the others checked that there were no problems with the artillery department's machine tools and equipment before leaving the artillery department to have lunch.
Liu Gen is still very concerned about the machine tools and equipment of the artillery department, which is related to the speed at which he can make rocket launchers. With enough good machine tools and equipment, it will not take too long to make rocket launchers, but the machine tools in the arsenal do not count.
Well, if you want to successfully manufacture a rocket launcher, you still need to solve a lot of problems.
After lunch, Liu Gen took Kong Jue and others to work. They did not have much work in the afternoon, they only needed to do some preparation work before manufacturing the rocket launcher.
Under the leadership of Liu Gen, there were naturally no problems during the preparations, and everything went very smoothly. Since Liu Gen explained a lot of things in the morning, Kong Jue and others did not reveal anything during the preparations.
There was no trace of impatience, and they were very attentive to what they did.
At work, Liu Gen noticed the performance of Kong Jue and others, and he was very satisfied.
Manufacturing rocket launchers is not a simple matter, and you will inevitably encounter many problems during the process, and solving these problems undoubtedly requires enough patience.
While Liu Gen was making rocket launchers, he received an order from the division commander. The first batch of trainees had received enough training at the artillery school. Next, they needed to be sent to various units for enough actual combat.
to ensure that they can grow up quickly.
When sending these students off, Liu Gen was particularly reluctant to leave. After spending so long with these students, Liu Gen had already developed a deep relationship with them. Thinking of the inevitable occurrence of these students after entering the various units, Liu Gen
With a certain amount of casualties, Liu Gen couldn't bear to let them leave. If they continued to stay with him, maybe these students' lives would not be in danger.
However, Liu Gen also knew that it was unrealistic to keep these students by his side. In the end, he only kept three students headed by Wang Chao.
It is worth mentioning that Captain Ou of the Secret Service also deliberately left several students. He had already known a lot about Liu Gen from his bosses, and he was very confident in the students trained by Liu Gen himself.
In the opinion of Captain Ou, even if these students cannot be as good as Liu Gen, they will definitely be better than ordinary artillerymen.
Captain Ou was very smart. He did not miss this opportunity. He even said that in order to get a few more students, he specifically asked for passwords from the bosses. In the end, Captain Ou successfully took away six students.
Being able to take away six students is already very good. You must know that the 129th Division has a lot of troops. There are a lot of students in the first phase, but there are not many who are actually divided into various troops. Most of the troops
There are only two or three students who can be assigned to it. There are not many units in the entire 129th Division that can be assigned as many students as the Secret Service Corps.
After the students were assigned to various units, the size of the artillery school became much smaller. The soldiers of the Security Department only needed to train every day. During this period, Liu Genyou sent soldiers to find traces of Chen Ergou, but they were unable to
After finding Chen Ergou's figure, after many inquiries, we learned that Chen Ergou led his soldiers into the depths of the Taihang Mountains and must have successfully gotten rid of the Japanese troops.
After contacting the troops in the Taihang Mountains, Liu Gen confirmed the news that Chen Ergou and others were still alive. Chen Ergou took more than 20 people to divert the Japanese troops, and finally rushed into the depths of the Taihang Mountains.
There were less than ten people including Ergou and others. From the changes in the strength of the troops, Liu Gen could imagine how dangerous Chen Ergou and the others would be when they lured away the Japanese.
Since the Japanese mopping up troops are still raging in the base area, Chen Ergou and the others cannot join Liu Gen in a short period of time. In their current state, it is feasible to stay in the Taihang Mountains for development for a period of time. If Chen Ergou and the others are allowed to forcefully join Liu Gen
Once they meet the Japanese's mopping up troops on the road, Chen Ergou and the others will only be in more danger.
After confirming the information about Chen Ergou and others, Liu Gen could devote himself to the manufacture of rocket launchers without too much worry. Only when he actually made rocket launchers did he clearly feel the difficulty. Even the steel requirements for the rocket launcher barrel were not
Not high, but Liu Gen still encountered a lot of trouble when making the barrel.
Under the constraints of objective conditions, it is difficult to improve the quality of steel in the arsenal. The only thing Liu Gen and the others can do is to work hard to make better gun barrels based on the existing steel.
After Liu Gen and the others produced a qualified gun barrel, they began to worry about the gunpowder for the rocket launcher. Fortunately, at this time, the arsenal made progress in gunpowder research, and the explosive gunpowder was successfully manufactured. For this reason, Liu Gen specially asked
Director Xu applied for some ammonium nitrate gunpowder to use in making rockets.
In terms of power, ammonium nitrate gunpowder is undoubtedly much stronger than the black powder commonly used in arsenals. Liu Gen and others also knew the power of ammonium nitrate gunpowder and were very cautious when making rockets, so no major problems occurred.
Ammonium nitrate gunpowder is nothing to other countries, and it may not be too difficult, but for the Eighth Route Army arsenal, it is still quite difficult to produce ammonium nitrate gunpowder. During this period, in order to successfully develop ammonium nitrate gunpowder,
There have been many casualties in the gunpowder research and development department of the arsenal. Every time an explosion sounds, it may take away the lives of the research and development personnel.
The gunpowder I applied for from Director Xu is not much. There are many places in the arsenal that need this new type of gunpowder. The ammunition produced with this gunpowder will no longer have the embarrassing situation of being unable to kill people. But even if the gunpowder in the arsenal is
The department worked overtime to produce ammonium nitrate gunpowder, but it could not fully meet the needs of the arsenal, which made ammonium nitrate gunpowder very popular in the arsenal.
Liu Gen knew the importance of gunpowder. He wanted to work in the gunpowder department to contribute to the research and development of new gunpowder. However, as soon as Liu Gen revealed his idea, he was severely stopped by Director Xu. Liu Gen is a genius, no matter what he does,
He has made a lot of achievements in everything. It is precisely because Liu Gen is a genius that he needs adequate protection.
When Director Xu took over the arsenal, he was entrusted by his bosses to pay attention to Liu Gen and not to let Liu Gen do anything dangerous in the arsenal. At the beginning, Director Xu was a little disapproving.
So what if Liu Gen is so powerful? He is just a young man, how much real ability does he have?
But now, Director Xu has clearly seen Liu Gen's ability, and he naturally has no idea of putting Liu Gen in danger.
In order to prevent Liu Gen from disobeying orders and entering the gunpowder department rashly, Factory Director Xu also asked Captain Ou to ask for two soldiers, and asked the two soldiers to follow Liu Gen all the time to keep an eye on Liu Gen and prevent Liu Gen from doing anything else.
Take personal risk.
There are two soldiers following him at all times. Even if Liu Gen wants to enter the gunpowder department, it is impossible unless Liu Gen knocks down these two soldiers, but he will definitely not do so. Liu Gen has no power over these two soldiers.
How could he attack them so easily when he had no grievances? In the end, Liu Gen could only get a piece of information about gunpowder from the Prestige Shopping Mall, hoping to help the R&D personnel of the Gunpowder Department in this way.
When Liu Gen sent the information to the R&D personnel of the Gunpowder Department, the information was continuously studied by the R&D personnel. Under their continuous study, the R&D work of the Gunpowder Department progressed rapidly. The only restriction on the development of the Gunpowder Department was
It is a shortcoming in manpower. It is impossible to make up for this shortcoming in a short time. It will take a long time to train these personnel.
In June, most of the manufacturing work of the rocket launcher was completed, leaving only the problem of the engine inside the rocket that needs to be solved. The requirements for the engine inside the rocket are not high. As a disposable product, the manufacturing of the engine does not require very good materials.
It just needs to be able to not affect the launch of the rocket launcher.
When it comes to making rocket engines, Liu Gen and his workers chose the manual polishing method. It’s not that Liu Gen doesn’t want to use machine tools to make them, but because the machine tools are not precise enough. The engine placed in the rocket is not large, and in terms of accuracy,
If it's not enough, polishing by hand will make it faster.
In mid-June, Liu Gen and the Artillery Department successfully manufactured a rocket launcher. Looking at the simple rocket launcher placed in the Artillery Department's factory, Liu Gen and the staff of the Artillery Department were extremely excited. Only those who personally participated in the rocket launcher
During the manufacturing work, you will understand how difficult it is to manufacture such a seemingly simple rocket launcher.
This time, in order to successfully manufacture the rocket launcher, Liu Gen and others spent almost a month. This speed was a bit too slow. Of course, the slow speed was also due to the fact that Liu Gen and others had no experience in manufacturing for the first time, especially in manufacturing.
Too much time was spent on some parts that could not be made with machine tools.
With the experience of successfully manufacturing a rocket launcher, the next time it is manufactured, the speed will definitely be much faster.
On June 20, the heads of various departments of the arsenal came to the special agent group. Today was the day for live firing of the rocket launchers, and today's test firing will also determine whether the arsenal will continue to produce this kind of rocket launchers in the future.
"Genzi, how are you? Are you nervous?" After carefully observing the rocket launcher, Foreman Qi came to Liu Gen and asked with a smile.
Liu Gen hesitated for a moment and then nodded. He was confident in the rocket launcher he had made with his own hands, but for some reason, he still felt a little more uneasy at this time and was a little worried that there would be problems with the rocket launcher.
