Comrade, your ingredients are too complicated.

Chapter 192 Paratrooper Equipment and Yanchang Oilfield

In the busy work, the time came to November NO.18.

There are a total of four major issues to be dealt with in the Yellow River back to the border area, and now two of them have been barely resolved.

The production and construction corps is responsible for farming. After providing crop seeds and sufficient fertilizers, he can be a hands-off officer.

The Air Force is almost ready. Under the leadership of the six combat heroes, the selected comrades are like sponges crazily absorbing aviation theoretical knowledge.

As long as Lao Ma sends back the graduates of the frontier aviation school, plus the [-] trainer planes provided by the next decision, the basic framework of the First Air Division will be completed.

The construction progress of the laboratory is also good. Director Li is either at the airport or on the construction site of the laboratory during this time.

According to the current construction period, we can move in in the middle of next month.

The last thing to do is to develop the Yanchang Oilfield. The research option "Fuel Storage" was unlocked a week ago.

The first batch of senior technician-level oil exploration workers will arrive in the border area by the end of this month.Production of oil storage devices and transportation pipelines has also begun in private factories in the system.

It's just that the existing conditions alone are far from reaching the level of developing oil fields.

Yanchang Petroleum has a long history, and the factory was established as early as 1905.Although oil wells and refineries are available, they are all very traditional and old-fashioned equipment.

Most of them are products of the beginning of the century, and they do not feel the modernity of industrialization at all.

In this simple condition, there are still many equipment lost during the war.

Fortunately, the director of the factory and the director of the engineering department are quite capable, and a large amount of equipment and equipment were recovered the year before last, otherwise the Yanchang Oilfield may not be able to resume production now.

At present, the total production capacity of the oil field is 1.6 tons of crude oil per day. Considering that the oil well has been used for many years, the Military Industry Bureau sent a comrade who graduated from the Geology Department of Tsinghua University to explore, and I heard that the results are not bad.

Now there are two scientific research slots free, just to deal with the oil field problems.Try to drill a few more new wells before 1945 and replace all the equipment.

"The embryonic form of industry: Oil is the blood of industry and an important source of industrial energy. In order to make our industrial base not too far behind the world's powers, it is time to develop oil fields.

Time required for research: 70 days

Effect: Two new PhDs in petroleum engineering have been added to the border area.

Obtain a set of drilling rig equipment, oil pumping equipment, pigging equipment, heating equipment, and obtain the production drawings of the corresponding equipment.

Tip: The above equipment is the most advanced model during World War II. "

After reading the detailed equipment introduction, Huang He couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.

Taking the drilling rig equipment alone as an example, this includes the derrick, crown block, winch, traveling block, hook turntable, power swivel, drilling rig eight-piece set, power machine, linkage machine, solid phase control equipment and well control equipment.

The power engines include diesel engines, electric motors and gas turbines, which directly solve all problems once and for all, which is very in line with the system's habit of taking care of everything.

Oil pumping equipment is naturally a kowtow machine, a machine that pressurizes oil out of the well.

The system provides a beam pumping unit, which has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture, and is convenient to use. The most important point is that it can operate all-weather in the oil field for a long time and is reliable in use.

Pigging equipment is actually a pig, in order to deal with the oil condensation, wax deposition, and scaling inside the transportation pipeline, so as to reduce the oil back pressure and friction resistance.

Because most of our crude oil is of the three-high type, that is, high freezing point, high wax content and high viscosity.

Therefore, it is necessary to use the pipeline heating transportation process to prevent the transportation of the oil products from being difficult to transport due to the temperature drop.

The heating furnace provided by the system is the same model of Baku Oilfield, which directly allows Yanchang Oilfield to experience the treatment of the future honeymoon period in advance.

Some time ago, Guofu’s Oil Mine Preparatory Office started to develop Yumen. Although they found an oil field near Laojunmiao, they couldn’t start work because they didn’t have a drilling rig.

Faced with this kind of problem, the bald head thought of the Yanchang oil field in the border area, so he contacted the comrades of the Eighth Office.

After negotiation, the bosses agreed to dismantle two drilling rigs to support Yumen, considering that the anti-Japanese war was a major national event, and also helped the other party to provide a complete set of equipment.

Now there is a new set of equipment, maybe the old ones will not go away and the new ones will not come.

The problem of extraction and transportation is solved, and it is time to refine the oil.

"Fuel Refining Type I: Advances in chemical cracking have made it more efficient to refine light fuels from crude oil.

Time required for research: 70 days

Effect: Obtain a full set of equipment and design drawings of the most advanced refinery during World War II. "

The oil refining equipment used by Yanchang Petroleum is very primitive, and the workers use two large pots to buckle together.

When refining oil, the cauldron below is heated, and the heat generated causes the oil to evaporate.Perforate the upper cauldron to catch the stream of condensed oil.

As for whether kerosene or gasoline is produced, it is up to experienced workers to smell it by nose.This soil method not only endangers the health of workers, but the efficiency is very low.

With the equipment provided by the system, the production capacity of Yanchang Oilfield can be greatly improved.

If there is good news, it must be shared with the director.Huang He simply packed up the materials on hand, and went straight to Comrade Zeng's office.

After entering the door, the strong man's hairline and the pile of mechanical drawings on the table greeted his eyes.

Hearing someone approaching, the director raised his head.He saw Huang showing a look of unbearable expression, so he jumped up from the stool exaggeratedly.

"What's the matter? What's the matter with you kid? Could it be that you have come up with something new!?"

"Can you be a human being? Take a look at our military industry bureau. Whether it's the comrades you introduced or me, which one is not continuous."

"If this goes on like this, I'm really going to be bald. After the war is over, you have to introduce me to a wife!"

Being said so, even the thick-skinned Huang He felt a little embarrassed.But after seeing the banter in the director's eyes, he immediately understood that the other party was teasing him.

After all, almost all comrades in the border area are strong-willed people.It's too late to be happy that I can push it to my own construction.

"Over there, isn't there a comrade from National Tsinghua University in Yanchang? I thought it might be a bit slow to explore alone, so I specially recruited two doctors to help."

"By the way, I also built a set of mining equipment and oil refining equipment, and I will quickly increase the annual production. We have planes now, and there will only be more places to use oil next year. Let's prepare in advance."

"We can't compare with the Baku oil field, but at least half of the level of others."

Obviously, the target set by Huang He frightened the director.He took off his glasses tremblingly, frowned and said helplessly:
"Being a hands-off shopkeeper again, every time I give a set of equipment, and then leave the design drawings and run away. Return half of the level of the Baku oil field, and the output is enough for the little devil to use for two years."

"When the time comes, the devil will cross the Yellow River first, and then you will cross the Yellow River. I'll see what you do!"

Having said that, the director took out a telegram from the drawer and handed it to Huang He.Then he waved his hands and said helplessly:
"This is a telegram from the New Second Regiment of the [-]th Brigade. It should be your good fellow who is looking for you. It's okay, let's go quickly, I have a headache right now."

"I'm studying civil engineering! At most, I can get a radio! Can you give me some professional counterpart work!"

"Okay! You said it yourself!"

"what??"

----

After returning to his office, Huang He opened the telegram.

Seeing a child is like seeing a person, the first line of words is full of Li Yunlong's style, and the deputy chief of staff didn't help him modify it at all.

"Old Huang:

I miss you so much after not seeing you for a long time, hehe!
I have been eating and sleeping well recently, and the training is going well. I wonder when you can send the airborne equipment to Jin Province?

Li Yunlong

I don't know why, but when he saw the word "hey", Huang He's mind immediately sketched the expression of the other party's whoosh.

There is no need for Li Yunlong to remind you about the equipment. Today, three scientific research slots happened to be vacant, and he had already assigned them to the paratroopers.

"Paratrooper One: Bringing airborne troops into the Army will allow us to force open breaches and deploy critical point forces in previously inaccessible areas, which will open up new tactical opportunities.

Time required for research: 70 days

Effect: The military factory in the system can produce special weapons for paratroopers:
Flare gun, map rangefinder, foldable engineer shovel, paratrooper pliers, paratrooper knife, water bottle, paratrooper boots, combat knee pads, paratrooper goggles, paratrooper helmet, ammunition vest, MAS-36CR39, parachute"

Paratroopers are surrounded by nature, as they need to go directly behind enemy lines and launch surprise attacks on enemy strategic positions.

These dangerous actions make them face more danger than other arms. The system has prepared a lot of equipment to improve their survivability as much as possible.

The signal gun is a necessary equipment for every paratrooper. It is equipped with multiple types of signal flares, which can be used when completing instructions, contacting friendly forces, or calling for support.

An excellent paratrooper, in addition to the most basic combat, must also be proficient in geographical knowledge. At this time, maps and map rangefinders need to be used.

Needless to say, the importance of the engineer shovel is more suitable for parachute operations with the addition of a foldable function.

For paratroopers who lack heavy weapons, digging trenches and building simple fortifications can often save their lives.

No matter which country the paratroopers are from, they will infiltrate the enemy's territory even in small days.

Reconnaissance, lurking, or sabotage work is the daily work of soldiers. Sometimes it is necessary to cross the enemy's barbed wire defense, or cut off the enemy's communication lines and telephone lines.

At this time, paratrooper pliers are the best choice. Its blade is very sharp and can cut off any barbed wire.

When not in use, just fold it up and put it in a specific storage bag, which is very convenient.

The paratrooper knife is mainly used to cut off the parachute, in case some unlucky eggs are hung on the tree and cannot get up and down.For the sake of survival, the system also adds a small compass on the handle, which is quite like the PLA equipment of later generations.

Considering that paratroopers often fight in the field, the system also provides special lunch boxes and water bottles.

The appearance of the kettle is oval-shaped and can hold 2-3 liters of water.The outer layer is made of cowhide with suede material surface, which can play the role of heat preservation.

The main body is made of aluminum material, with a belt, which can be fixed on the soldier's main belt.

The lunch box is also made of aluminum, with two internal compartments and a removable empty box.

You can use it to eat noodles, drink soup, or put it directly on the camping rack for cooking, and there are special places for chopsticks and spoons inside the lid.

The paratrooper military boots are made of high-quality cowhide, and the sole is made of specially treated rubber material, which is quieter when walking, wear-resistant and non-slip.

Considering that it is winter now, the system also designed a thermal lining in the boots, which is very considerate.

Next is the knee pad. Since paratroopers usually land on their legs first during skydiving, the chances of leg injuries are high.

These knee pads are made of sponge and rubber, and are wrapped in textile cloth. They are soft and elastic, and can effectively protect the knees of comrades.

The final piece of armor is goggles and a helmet.

The former has elastic fixing rings on both sides, which can fit the head size of every fighter.

The two lenses are made of glass and slightly curved inwards.When shooting, the lens will not affect the accuracy.

The steel helmet is slightly improved on the 35-year-old Adrian helmet, using high-nickel and manganese-content steel, with a thickness of 1.3mm and a weight of 1.2kg.

The bulletproof performance of the helmet design is able to withstand the flying shrapnel at a speed of 300 m/s.

In order to prevent being blown away by the strong air current in the sky during the skydiving process.The new paratrooper helmet is equipped with a more complex and stronger suspension system, so that the helmet can be firmly fixed on the comrades' heads.

Combatants often need more guns and ammunition when they are airborne.

Although the length and weight of the weapon will cause comrades to suffer non-combat casualties.But it's better than carrying only a pistol and a small amount of bullets, and waiting for the weapon box after landing.

Man-gun separation tactics are absolutely not advisable during World War II, and a suitable carrying tool is needed at this time.

The system provides an ammunition vest, which is made of leather and canvas.

The front and rear of the vest carry submachine gun magazines horizontally, 5 on the front chest, 7 on the back, and a grenade bag at the waist, which can store 7 grenades.

Although the amount of ammunition carried is not bad, it is a pity that there is no bulletproof function.

Finally, there are the weapons carried by the paratroopers. Without much guesswork, we know that our old friends MAS-36 and MAS-38 are the main ones.

The MAS-38 submachine gun was originally designed as a paratrooper weapon.The extremely light weight and short length are paired with good firepower, which is basically enough on the battlefield of the Republic of China where the intensity is not so high.

MAS-36 has a special paratrooper version, code-named CR39.

In order to facilitate the soldiers to carry, the designer made a foldable aluminum hollow stock, which made the weight much lighter than the infantry model.

When not in combat, just flip the paddle on the gun body to fold the butt.The gun sling is also a lighter fabric, which barely reduces the weight by dozens of grams.

Cooperating with the Brand Mle 50mm mortar and light machine gun that has just been unlocked in the scientific research slot, the airborne troops are not even weak in terms of firepower.
