Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.

Chapter 145 Heart-beating!

"First, before the snow blocks the mountain, we need to dig out at least 100 caves here to serve as accommodation and workrooms for our R&D staff. Each room is 10 meters deep, 3.5 meters wide and 4 meters high. This workload alone is enough for an entire battalion."

"At the same time, I hope to start the construction of kilns and smelting facilities at the same time. According to the current situation, we need to start the construction of two earthen kilns, four iron-making blast furnaces, two steel-making open-hearth furnaces and two sulfuric acid production lines at the same time. We will provide production capacity for the iron and steel industry and chemical industry in the border area as soon as possible, and provide sufficient steel and chemical raw materials for our subsequent research. I am afraid that the human resources of a battalion are not enough for these construction tasks."

"Next we will build a dam, about 1 meters high, at the narrowest part of the Nangou River where we just passed. On the one hand, it will solve our water problem, and on the other hand, we will build a hydropower station before the end of the year to provide electricity here."

"These are just preliminary construction projects here. We will also open mines in Haojiaping and nearby areas. If our preliminary exploration work here is correct, we will find iron and manganese mines nearby, as well as coal mining. These early mine construction and preliminary ore mining work also require strong labor. After our blast furnaces are successfully built, one will consume dozens of tons of ore, and four will consume hundreds of tons. A lot of labor will be needed here. If we want to see results within this year, I estimate that even a regiment of manpower may not be enough."

Ren Zhong did not hold back on Jiang Chongjing. In fact, these manpower were only what was needed at the current stage. When the entire Dawn Project was launched, thousands of R&D and production personnel would gather here, plus their families, at least three to four thousand people. More than two thousand cave dwellings alone would be needed to be built!
Ren Zhong had not yet brought up these things with Jiang Chongjing, but even so, Jiang Chongjing was already stunned and completely unprepared.

He had thought that Ren Zhong's business would be very big. After all, Zhang Wanhe had communicated with Jiang Chongjing, and at most times, all the independent regiments in Yangcun were serving Ren Zhong's factory construction.

But Jiang Chongjing didn't expect Ren Zhong to make such a big move as soon as he arrived.

"This is a bit beyond my authority." Jiang Chongjing smiled bitterly, "Boss Ren, I will convey your request. I believe there will be a reasonable solution."

Ren Dian nodded. After purchasing the cave dwellings of the villagers in the early stage, they had a temporary place to live. After all, there were not too many people coming in the early stage. Now they have confirmed that more than 100 people will come to accompany the capital.

According to the family population numbers reported now, among the more than 40 people who came from the temporary capital, more than 5 professors are married, and the remaining 3 are students or bachelors. So in order to ensure everyone's quality of life, each bachelor should have a cave dwelling, and if a family of five has cave dwellings, it is not too much, right?
The professor's family has to prepare for more than 200 people, plus the cave dwelling needs of bachelors, and these 400 people are just the first phase of the project.

It's not just living space, there are also engineering research laboratories and production plants.

In order to ensure confidentiality and protect everyone's safety, Ren Zhong plans to build the current machine tool processing factory inside the cave.

These cave dwellings have relatively higher requirements. The depth must be more than 15 meters and the width must be about seven or eight meters, so the construction difficulty and workload will also increase greatly.

The mission in the border areas is not just to conduct research for the sake of research, but to serve production. The most important thing is to build a complete military-industrial system!

The largest production base outside the base area was formed in the border area, which not only armed the troops in the border area, but also provided continuous equipment support to other base areas.

Even after the production capacity is increased, it is possible that the troops sold the preserved fruits will strengthen their strength to facilitate the victory of the War of Resistance.

Therefore, in addition to the cave dwellings for living, at least dozens of cave dwellings for laboratories, processing workshops and storage warehouses must be built. The huge amount of work is enough to increase Jiang Chongjing's blood pressure!
Ren Zhong didn't want to wait until all the talents he had recruited arrived while the preparations were still being delayed. In fact, the experts who had set out earlier had already entered Chang'an. If Ren Zhong and his team had not traveled on horseback, they might not have been as fast as these professors. After all, they took them more than ten days to walk.

Therefore, Ren Zhong estimated that starting from next month, the first batch of professors who had been recruited by him and their families would arrive in the border areas. In order to give them confidence, Ren Zhong must prepare these rigid needs in advance.

However, Jiang Chongjing was already dumbfounded when she heard Ren Zhong's plan. She had never expected that there would be so much workload just after Ren Zhong's plan was launched.

But Jiang Chongjing couldn't find any problems with these things after listening to them. They were indeed very necessary.

"Boss Ren, you mentioned that there are iron and manganese mines near Haojiaping. We don't know about this, but it's obviously a great thing. I think the leaders will be very pleased when they hear about it. But, Boss Ren, do you have a way to smelt manganese steel?"

Jiang Chongjing asked hurriedly.

Jiang Chongjing certainly knew the importance of iron ore and manganese ore to the border area. These can produce extremely short-term manganese steel alloys, which are the basic alloys for making too many tools.

It is really important for the border areas.

The performance of many tools will be greatly enhanced after adding manganese steel, which is much better than the stolen rail steel.

"Of course, we have already completed the design of the process flow and the formula research. After we collect a batch of iron ore and manganese ore with the correct composition ratio here and send it to a qualified testing agency, and complete the composition analysis, we can recruit some people in advance to carry out the business based on the process flow." Ren Zhong said confidently.

"What, you have completed the production process design and trial production of manganese steel?" Jiang Chongjing was stunned by the shock.

When Jiang Chongjing heard about Ren Zhong's magic from Zhang Wanhe, he was not as attentive as he is now.

When Jiang Chongjing heard that Ren Zhong was planning to mass-produce high-end alloys such as manganese steel here, he was excited just by this.

This is an excellent material that can upgrade the processing capabilities of the border areas, and it must be produced as soon as possible.

"If nothing unexpected happens, we can achieve formal mass production in three months at most. Before that, we can conduct trial production." Ren Zhong has the advanced knowledge of the main world as a backing, so it is natural and justified for him to talk about these things.

"That's great, Boss Ren. I will take care of the manpower issue. Except for the 3rd Battalion which will be in place tomorrow, I will coordinate with the leaders for the rest after I return. I think the remaining manpower you requested will be in place within three days." Jiang Chongjing said without any doubt.

Just kidding, what Ren Zhong is planning to do here, the border region will support it even if it costs them everything!
