Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.

Chapter 149 Full Bloom

After mobilizing huge manpower, the construction of the Dawn Research Institute is expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.

On November 11, four earthen blast furnaces and two open-hearth furnaces were completed, and the first batch of molten iron and molten steel were successfully produced.

On November 11, the first batch of manganese steel was produced. At the same time, the Metallurgical Research Center was established to carry out process proportioning and experimental research on 15 steel and aluminum alloy.

On November 11, the Nangou River Hydropower Station was completed, providing electricity to the family quarters.

On November 11, the first machine tool castings were completed and assembled. The Liming Research Institute produced the first Red Star C20 and the first Red Star T6410. On this basis, the Machine Tool Research Center was established, and the reproduction and improved model research of the Liangjian World Lathe, Boring Machine and Punching Machine fully autonomous machine tools was started, and the research on two new types of milling machines and planers was started.

On December 12, as the Liming Institute had absorbed more than 25 researchers (nearly 300 of whom were students who were deceived by professors), the Liming Institute had fully built 200 new research centers. In addition to the above four research centers, it also successively established a Chemical Research Center, a Physics Research Center, an Aviation Research Center, a Weapons Design Research Center, a Wireless Communications Research Center, an Electric Power Engineering Research Center, an Electronic Engineering Research Center, and an Engine Research Center.

According to Ren Zhong's designation, the first batch of research projects to be carried out was very exciting! The researchers' initial reactions were all rejection and disbelief. They had never heard of many things before, and they really had no confidence in doing well these difficult products designated by Ren Zhong.

But after Ren Zhong provided reference materials, everyone said it was really delicious!

The Chemical Research Center focused on the manufacture of ammonium nitrate and RDX, and immediately started research on petroleum refining technology and worked with the Hydraulic Machinery Equipment Research Center to conduct research on the first generation of important refinery equipment;

The Physics Research Center carried out theoretical research on peaceful bombs and provided uranium production technology and reactor design according to Ren Zhong's requirements.
The Aviation Research Center focused on researching the front-end technology and rocket technology based on the P51D Mustang fighter, but the first research product was the 107 Fire;
武器设计研究中心开展41式75毫米山炮和T34上面的ZiS-3坦克炮仿制工作，启动T34坦克的仿制研究；
The Wireless Communications Research Center has been fully engaged in the research of successor models of the Type 71 walkie-talkie and the Red Star radio station, and has started research on vehicle-mounted wireless communications and airborne wireless communications;

The Power Engineering Research Center has fully launched the research and development of power transmission and distribution equipment, with the first phase goal of conquering the manufacturing and production of 35KV box transformers and circuit breakers;

The Electronic Engineering Research Center conducts research on the production process of basic components such as electron tubes, transistors, capacitors and resistors, and electrical automation. The goal is to complete the independent production of electrical automation control systems. At present, they have obtained an almost complete set of production materials, but the entire laboratory needs to be built from scratch.
The Engine Research Center focuses on digesting, absorbing and imitating the Merlin 1650 V12 liquid-cooled fighter engine and the Ford GAA V8 gasoline engine. Ren Zhong has already paid a large sum of money to purchase a complete set of design data. The research center is not only responsible for thoroughly understanding the design, but most importantly, completing the research and development of supporting machine tool production equipment.

Almost every item here is at the advanced level or even the top level in the 40s. Every task is a tough nut to crack, but every task has detailed scientific and technological information for reference, which makes the scientists involved unable to stop.

Due to busy work and extreme shortage of manpower, they kept calling on friends to join the research team.

Among the scientists currently participating, Ren Zhong saw that almost 55% of the professors were familiar faces he had found in the main world. In the original time and space, the great talents who would have become academicians of the Academy of Sciences in would enter his institute, and he was filled with great pride. In this time and space, with his help, the achievements of these great talents would be even greater than in the original time and space! Another super good news was that Professor Wu Jianxiong called back and said that she was on her way back to China. She would detour through Hong Kong Island and go north from the southwest rear area. It seemed that half of Fermi's theory did arouse Professor Wu's strong interest, and all this was just the appetizer that Ren Zhong brought him!

Professor Wu's mission is to take some professors from the Physics Research Center to chase the thing that ignites the sun!

Compared with the team in the original historical time and space, most of them have not yet returned from their studies, and from now on, some of them have already come here as student assistants.

However, they can only do theoretical research now, and Ren Zhong has not yet found a suitable and stable source of raw materials for them at this stage.

It's not that Ren Zhong can't find a place, but these places are either in the rear or in the enemy's war zone. The border area currently lacks the strength to occupy these places!
However, with Renzhong's large-scale military industrial construction, the military strength of the base will be greatly enhanced, and the day of occupying a uranium-producing area will not be far away.

Ren Zhong knew very well that although the border area looked dangerous, in fact the Japanese could not penetrate it, so for the military industry construction work in the border area, Ren Zhong this time opened up the supply to build machine tool production lines first. Almost all the initial steel production capacity was used in the production of machine tools, and the new machine tools were continuously supplied to the border area's military industry department for military industry expansion.

Jiang Chongjing was naturally ecstatic about all this. He had never imagined that the Dawn Research Institute had not yet been completed, but it had already begun to continuously supply advanced machine tool products and power generation products that were simply not available in this era.

In addition to strengthening the existing arsenal in the border region government seat, Jiang Chongjing, in accordance with the supply capacity of the 50-kilowatt water flow generator and the mineral resource distribution map provided by Ren Zhong, has already started building arsenal branches in more than ten places in the border region.

Ren Zhong fully unleashed the capacity of machine tools, not only to meet the needs of the Liming Research Institute, but also to send machine tools to Jiang Chongjing. By the end of the year, more than 30 lathes, boring machines and punching machines had been sent out, and the number of manual punching machines was in the hundreds. The combined capacity of these equipment was no less than that of completing the construction of a large arsenal.

At the same time, the traditional steel-making blast furnace began to be fully promoted. In addition to the construction of four traditional blast furnaces at the Liming Research Institute to meet the urgent needs of research and machine tool manufacturing.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to build the earthen blast furnace, Ren Zhong trained a group of earthen blast furnace construction talents for the Ministry of Military Industry on site, and helped the border area to build more than 40 earthen blast furnaces and Martin furnaces near the iron ore producing areas circled by Ren Zhong. After the full production was put into production in the year, the monthly production capacity of gray cast iron in the border area was increased to one thousand tons, and the monthly production capacity of carbon steel was increased to a new record of more than two hundred tons!
In addition, more than 10 sets of sulfuric acid and nitric acid production lines were put into operation during the same period, and the monthly production capacity of propellants and explosives in the border area also reached tons.

The upstream raw materials for weapons and ammunition suddenly became abundant.
