Comrade, your ingredients are too complicated.

Chapter 185 An Airport of Twenty Hectares!
After discussing the matters needing attention in the development of Lanni Bay, Huang He prepared to leave the 359th Brigade.

The unlocking time of the decision "Flying Yulong 300 million" is getting closer and closer. This afternoon, he made an appointment with Director Li of the Border Area Engineering Office, and the two invited them to the site to discuss the restoration and expansion of the airport.

This is related to the future of the Air Force. The bosses have specifically told us to face up to this matter, and we must not be sloppy in the slightest.

At present, the comrades in the engineering department have no experience in building airports. At most, they cooperate with the Military Industry Bureau to build factories. This is the first time they have undertaken such a large-scale project.

In the future, the Eighth Route Army will have more and more aircraft. A single permanent airfield will definitely not be enough. There is a high probability that multiple field airfields will be needed.

This kind of pioneering project not only needs to meet the current needs, but also needs to accumulate experience for the subsequent construction of the airport.

One hour before the agreed time, Huang He and Wang Dexing got on their horses and prepared to set off.Before leaving, he remembered an important matter, so he turned his head and said to Brigadier Wang who was seeing him off:

"Old Wang, you can get a lot of base fertilizer during this period of time. Although I can provide a sufficient amount of chemical fertilizer for the Production and Construction Corps, you can't let go of farmyard manure. Using the two together will have a better effect."

The 359 brigade has planted the land for more than a year, so brigade commander Wang is naturally clear about this matter.

They were still in the reclamation stage at that time, so they specifically consulted the comrades at Guanghua Farm, and learned a lot of relevant knowledge and precautions.

Farmyard manure has always been the main force used by the army for farming. There are many kinds of this thing, and there are many sources and large quantities.It is convenient to obtain local materials and use locally, and the cost is relatively low.

Simply put, it is a mixture of various types of feces and plant ash.

Chemical fertilizers are rarely used at this stage, and are generally only used on the fields that have just been reclaimed.The border area is now blocked by nephew Shuai, and the stocks in the warehouse are all purchased before, so if you use it, you will use less.

Although the comrades of the 359th brigade did not have many opportunities to get in touch, they knew this foreign stuff very well.

Not only because of the knowledge imparted by Guanghua Farm, but also because chemical fertilizers were introduced to economically developed coastal areas as early as the beginning of the century.

It has obvious effect of increasing production and is easy to use, so it is deeply loved by the common people.Soldiers have basically planted land before joining the army, so they are no strangers to the efficacy of chemical fertilizers.

However, most of the artificial fertilizers purchased and applied by people at that time were single products such as curium sulfate, and mixed fertilizers were rarely used, and even natural organic fertilizers were used entirely.

The single application of chemical fertilizers will forcibly change the soil texture and properties, resulting in a shallower cultivated layer.

After one or two years, if the phosphorus and potassium elements in the soil are consumed too much, even if the amount of chemical fertilizers is increased at that time, the effect of the initial application cannot be achieved, and the soil fertility will hardly return to its original state.

This is why the crop yield is often good in the first one or two years of fertilizer application, but after three or four years, the crop yield drops significantly, and is not as good as the yield before fertilization.

Comrades at Guanghua Farm specifically warned that we should not only use chemical fertilizers when farming.

Otherwise, there will be many troublesome things, such as easy drought and waterlogging, burning seedlings with chemical fertilizers, soil acidification, and insufficient soil stamina.Even the taste of the crops grown is poor, seriously reducing the quality of agricultural products.

If you want to restore and maintain soil fertility, you must apply organic fertilizers, that is, traditional farmyard manures.

Used together, the two can comprehensively supply the nutrients needed for crop growth.It also has the advantages of reducing nutrient fixation and improving fertilizer efficiency.

Even long-term rational use of two kinds of fertilizers can adjust the acidity and alkalinity of the soil, improve the soil structure, and promote the absorption of nutrients by crops.

Hearing Huang He's instructions, Brigadier Wang stroked his beard and nodded in agreement.

"Then how much farmyard manure do we need to prepare? Crop seeds with such a high yield per mu must need a lot of fertilizer. Just give me a number, and I will arrange everything!"

"It's also very simple to collect. The daily output of people eating horse chews in the border area is not small. We can also improve the hygiene level by the way."

"Coincidentally, the temperature is low now, and the accumulated farmyard manure is not easy to ferment. It is a good time for base manure."

This question really stumped Huang He, he shrugged his shoulders and answered helplessly:

"Do you think I have farmed the land before? You have to ask a professional about this matter. I guess even the comrades of Guanghua Farm will have to come and do some research to get an accurate figure."

Since the volume of chemical fertilizer is at least a hundred times different from that of farmyard manure, if it is the same one mu of land, it only takes about [-] to [-] catties of chemical fertilizer.

If you want to achieve the same fertilizer effect, you need at least 45 dan of natural fertilizer.

This ratio is a conclusion drawn this year and has been repeatedly verified by Guanghua Farm.

Although neither of them are professionals, Brigadier Wang has dealt with agricultural researchers a lot.At this time, the importance of experience was reflected. He estimated it and came up with a number in his heart.

"Hahaha, I thought you knew everything, kid. Then I will prepare according to the previous ratio. I guess it will be less or more."

When parting, Huang He immediately waved his hand.

"Okay! At the beginning of November, I will send someone to send the promised seeds and fertilizer to Lanniwan. During this time, you will have to work hard to open up wasteland!"

----

After leaving the 359 brigade, the two headed north all the way, galloping towards the border airport.

The time Huang He agreed with Director Li was three o'clock, but when they arrived at the destination, the other party had already brought a group of workers to start measuring the data.

After dismounting, the three formally met.

"You are Deputy Director Huang, you are young and promising! The boss has explained to me, regarding the restoration and expansion, please let us know if you have any requirements.

"All difficulties are paper tigers, and our engineering agency will definitely find a way to overcome them!"

This sentence is powerful and powerful!
After feeling the determination of their director, the surrounding workers raised their tools one after another, and echoed loudly.

Huang He held Director Li's hand tightly, such a comrade made people feel at ease.

"I'm really bothering everyone! I'll go to see the specific situation at the airport first, and I'll come back immediately after learning about the scene. Let's communicate again at that time, and strive to produce the blueprint today."

Wang and Huang rode on their horses and began to circle the field for a circle.But after only half a lap, the smiles on their faces disappeared without a trace.

Looking at the ruined "airport", Huang He checked the conditions of each facility expressionlessly.

Ninety percent of the buildings have problems, and the major drainage channels are almost covered with soil. It really deserves to be a high slope of loess.

Even Wang Dexing, who is an amateur, was very worried. He kicked the gravel in the grass, and then said half complaining and half melancholy:

"Deputy Director, it's broken like this, how can we fix it? Seriously, if you hadn't told me that this is an airport in advance, I would have thought it was someone's pasture."

These words made Huang He frowned again, he didn't expect that the airport back then would be deserted like it is now.

Where the two are now, the military airport built in January 1936 led by the young marshal and General Yang was taken over by our army one year after it was completed.

The entire airport is made of dirt runways, because the Eighth Route Army has no planes, and it has been in disrepair for a long time, so it must not be able to take off and land normally.

In its original history, the airport was restored and expanded in 1944.It is because the international war situation has undergone major changes, the border area needs frequent exchanges with the outside world, and the bosses need to travel by plane.

But even if the airport is intact, it's just an oversized playground.

In the current Republic of China, the standard for an airport is only three points.

First of all, there must be a wide space, otherwise the storage of aircraft and the placement of personnel will be problems.

Secondly, there needs to be a manicured lawn or flat land.When the Ugly country's envoys came to the border area, it was because the airport was not flat and there were gravels that they broke the landing gear and damaged the propeller.

The final condition is a good drainage system. The soil runway is useless without drainage in rainy days.

These requirements seem to be very simple, but there are very few people in the Republic of China who can meet the conditions, and often only a few economically developed large cities can meet the standards.

Take the Jianqiao Airport in Guofu as an example. It is not only the aviation school of the Central Army, but also the place where the first air battle broke out between the enemy and us in the Songhu Battle. The Chinese Air Force defeated the innocent Army Aviation over the airport.

Such an extraordinary and very important airport is just built on a large flat grassland, that is, there is no fixed runway and no complete set of navigation equipment.

Soldiers set off from the airport, takeoff and landing can only be judged by the direction of the wind, and occasionally there is a simple lighting device for guidance, which is considered special treatment.

At that time, whether the Air Force could go into battle to kill the enemy depended not only on whether the pilot's driving skills were excellent, but also on whether God would give him face.

Whenever there are several consecutive rains, no matter how good your aircraft is or how good your pilot's skills are.

Sorry, the ground at the airport is almost lumpy, it is impossible to take off normally.The dragon must be coiled, and the tiger must be lying down.Everyone has to honestly report the situation of the airport to their superiors, and they can only take off after repairs.

And I have to pray that the enemy doesn't come to attack. In case the devil's land aviation flies over to bomb when the sun clears, the soldiers can only flee while watching their beloved fighter planes being destroyed one by one by Xiaotian.

After returning to Director Li's side, Huang He took out a cigarette rarely.After the two swallowed the clouds for a while, they began to talk about business.

"I just went around and it's a big project."

Before he finished speaking, Director Li came up with his own plan, and he said confidently:
"Deputy Director Huang, it seems that you don't know much about our strength. It's not difficult to move construction materials. We have seven trucks in the engineering department, so it's just a matter of making a few extra trips."

"The only trouble is breaking the stones and crushing the road surface. We don't have machines, so we can only rely on manpower. But I can mobilize the militias in the surrounding counties, so you can see the power of a sea of ​​people."

"This is the design drawing I prepared, you can see if it works."

Looking at the folder handed over, Huang He couldn't help being stunned for a second.He didn't expect that the other party had already prepared for it, and it didn't look like the first repair of the airport at all.

But what he didn't know was that after Director Li received the order, he immediately summoned all the educated people in the engineering department.

The comrades brainstormed and forcibly hammered out a plan within a few hours.

In this design, they are going to clean up the garbage first, so that the airport can restore its original outline.A layer of pebbles was then laid on the bottom of the runway, crushed stones were placed on top of it, and mud was poured on top.

Even in this plan, a dual-runway system is planned.This design ensures that there is always another runway available under certain circumstances.

Although not very mature, it is already remarkable that a layman can come up with a plan in such a short period of time.

Director Li saw the shock on Huang He's face, he pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose with some pride, and then said with a little regret:
"It would be great if there was cement, and the repair time can be shortened by at least one day. It's a pity that those things are strategic materials, and the devils are very strict in controlling all cement factories."

"When we first arrived in the border area, we could secretly buy some from Yan Laoxi's factory."

"Speaking of Deputy Director Huang, how big an airport do you want?"

It was also the first time for Huang He to participate in the construction, but in his previous life he often read miscellaneous materials on the Internet, so he began to describe the appearance of Yongbei Airport in his mind.

There are very few underground facilities in military airports, basically ground facilities.

In order to avoid being attacked by the enemy, in addition to the apron, military airports will also have hangars or hangars.

Eggs cannot be put in the same basket. These hangars and hangars need to be scattered in every corner of the airport, and they need to be separated from the runway by a certain distance to prevent them from being completely paralyzed when they are hit.

Regardless of whether it is peace or war, military airports need personnel to guard them, and these support personnel also need to occupy land.

The command structure also needs buildings, and the control tower and terminal building are definitely indispensable.Support vehicles need garages, spare parts need warehouses, and even air combat weapons need ammunition depots.

In order to be able to attack immediately after receiving the order, the soldiers have to need dormitories.

The command organization needs a command post, a conference room, and the bomber crew also needs an intelligence room.Although there is no condition for establishing a radar station now, the director is a master in this area, and the location of the radar equipment must be reserved.

Before, after, and around the runway, land needs to be reserved as a buffer zone, so the head of two people is too big.

"How about this, let's enclose a [-]-hectare land first, and then slowly expand according to the plan just now. Anyway, only six fighter jets will arrive in the border area in a few days, and the next wave is estimated to be two months later."

"With all this time, we can definitely create a 200-meter-long, 300-meter-wide dual runway and several aprons."

"The devils probably won't come to bomb us in a short time, and Guokui didn't expect us to have planes. Within two months, the airport will definitely be safe."

"Even if the enemy finds out at that time, the air defense positions of the garrison are ready, and no one can take advantage of it."

After such a calculation, Director Li also gained confidence.Those plans and the fact of [-] hectares just now frightened him. It was the first time he had heard of such a large area since he started the project.

He was about to roughly calculate the time when Huang He's next words shocked him a lot.

"Director Li, I forgot to tell you just now. I can provide cement and asphalt here, and I can manage enough, as much as you want!"

"what!!!!"

　The 300-acre airport is enough for the time being, and we will build more field battle facilities in Shanxi
