Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.

Chapter 160 Technological Breakthroughs
Although neither party achieved their highest expectations with this agreement, Suiyuan gained more advantages overall because the minerals and processing plants were all on their territory, which meant that they would have an independent and preliminary military industry supporting system.

Don't underestimate this system, it is still very rudimentary. Looking at other local governments in the country, very few can achieve this.

After reaching an agreement with great difficulty, Jiang Chongjing stayed behind with several blast furnace and machinery experts from the border area to help Suiyuan start building infrastructure. Ren Zhong had arranged the production of equipment for this delegation before departure, and at this moment, all the equipment had been transported to the border of Wuhai and Yanchi, just in time for the delivery of the first batch of grain.

Qiluban then realized that the border area had him in their grasp and had already prepared for the deal.

But in this matter, no one suffers a loss. The value of a bullet production line in Suiyuan is far greater than those thousands of tons of grain!

After all, food is a one-time business, but bullets can be produced in an endless supply.

No loss at all!

After everything in Suiyuan was settled, Ren Zhong set out on his return journey.

But this time when he returned to the city, Ren Zhong left a fixed return location at Hangjin Banner on his way back.

The border area is too far away from Ikh Ju League. When he goes to look for uranium mines next time, Ren Zhong doesn't want to get calluses on his butt again from the long journey.

The newly upgraded system allows for optional crossing locations that span 1 kilometers, and it seems to be of some use only here.

But now he is still a little afraid to travel alone in a frontline area like Yikh Ju League. Not to mention the old time and space of the world of Bright Sword, there are not many people even in the main world. Ren Zhong feels that it seems too risky to play wilderness survival alone, and he does not have such strong ability.

But it is difficult to have the best of both worlds. If Ren Zhong wants to have super powers and appear and disappear at will, he cannot bring guards with him.

With guards around, he could only hone his skills in this era.

However, there is no rush for this matter. Even though Professor Wu Jianxiong has arrived at the Liming Institute and started to study the complete set of Fermi theory and the data collected by Ren Zhong, it will take some time before he can fully understand and grasp it.

I can't even come up with a plan now.

But Ren Zhong was not in a hurry, as he knew what was going on in this matter. Now that he was able to gather the core members of the research team together to form a dream team in this field, Ren Zhong had let them do their work. At most, he would provide good logistical support, and naturally, the work would bear fruit in due time.

Of course, the current external conditions are not suitable, and it will take several years before we can drive the Japanese away.

Although Ren Zhong has now brought new hope to the border area, some changes have begun to take place.

But this change did not affect the overall trend.

The Japanese are still extremely powerful and are still a huge monster to the Eighth Route Army.

So when he returned to the Liming Research Institute, Ren Zhong's most important job was to continue to encourage the team below to continue recruiting people, and at the same time to recruit students from border areas to continue to expand the team. After all, there is no team that is not working in the 007 mode.

The only good thing is that for the core backbone, Ren Zhong stipulated that the maximum working time per day should not exceed 12 hours. Except for very few experiments that cannot be interrupted, this rule is enforced by a supervision team specially established by the Liming Institute.

Unrestrained research is now considered to be an explosion of new technologies and products. For the aspiring scientists in the 40s, the situation is now so complicated that Ren Zhong has to introduce measures to limit everyone's work enthusiasm to avoid sudden death from overwork!
Ren Zhong also adjusted his strategy in terms of life. Under the current difficult conditions, he divided the food standards of the Liming Institute into three categories. The core scientists are in the first category, and they are guaranteed at least one egg a day, two meat meals a week, and each meal is full of fine grains. There are now more than 50 such people in the Liming Institute, basically all of them are directors of various research centers and key scientists;
The second type of kitchen is for ordinary researchers, who are provided with one meat meal a week and fine grains for every meal. This group is the members of the research room, about 300 people;

The third type of kitchen is for most people. They can have meat once a month and have a half-and-half meal of coarse grains and half-and-half fine grains at each meal. Now the factories under the institute and the Eighth Guard Regiment that cooperates with Ren Zhong in farming, including Ren Zhong, are also implementing this standard.

Although it was inevitable that some people would gossip about this kind of people being divided into different classes, Ren Zhong had always been simple and rough with this kind of people, so there was no room for discussion. In addition, he ate three kinds of food in public in the cafeteria every day, so he naturally suppressed it over time.

Ren Zhong is very clear about how to set an example.

Moreover, the promotion standards for the three different types of staff are clearly written on the wall, so everyone can work hard.

Now Ren Zhong does not have many other incentive measures. He can only provide good food for the scientists. As for their families, except for the families of the staff in the first-class kitchens who enjoy the second-class kitchens, the rest of the staff will refer to the third-class kitchens for supplies. No one has any objection to this.

What is more special is that Ren Zhong provides each family with 2 mu of private land for planting and breeding, and provides seeds, chicks, piglets, etc. The results are not yet visible, but everyone is very enthusiastic. At the same time, it also provides a new channel for family members who do not want to work in the factory affiliated with the Dawn Institute.

Therefore, almost everyone who enters the Dawn Research Institute feels very at ease developing technology here.

In this atmosphere, by the middle of 41, technological breakthroughs began to emerge one after another.

The Optical Center's first generation of quadruple scopes and mortar optical sights have gone into mass production. The first batch of 10 quadruple scopes and 12 mortar optical sights have been tried out by the th Guard Regiment and are no less capable than the samples provided by Ren Zhong!

The factory affiliated with the Optical Research Center was born and began to mass-produce quadruple scopes and mortar optical sights. The 8th Guard Regiment established the first sniper and mortar gunner training center, first selecting talents internally to train snipers and gunners. At the same time, various troops in the border area also began to select personnel to concentrate in the vicinity of the Dawn Institute for training.

The machine tool center broke through the first fully independent production of planers and milling machines, and copied the BX2012 planer, which was renamed Red Star L9000 by Ren Zhong because the maximum processing length reached 9 meters, and the milling machine was named Red Star X1000, indicating that it was the first generation of milling machines. In this way, the Liming Machine Tool Factory of the Machine Tool Center has perfected the production of four important machine tools: lathes, punching machines, milling machines, and planers.

Next, the Machine Tool Center will further study forging machines, focusing on solving the research and development of the first generation of roll forging machines, mechanical pressure forging machines, and extrusion forging machines. With the machine tool industry mother equipment, these forging machines are developed based on the process design drawings of the early models provided by Ren Zhong, and the progress is also quite fast. This part of the work is now handed over to the second-line personnel of the research center to complete.

The main force of the Machine Tool Center and the Chemical Center is the joint research of the first thermal cracking unit, atmospheric and vacuum distillation unit and high-pressure hydrogenation unit. This set of key equipment of the refinery is the key equipment for the next step. Both tanks and fighter planes cannot do without fuel. Relying on the original distillation method can only produce kerosene, which cannot meet the needs at all.

The thermal cracking equipment must be solved before an independent refinery can be built.
