Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.

Chapter 45: Breakthrough in Sulfuric Acid Production (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
The brigade commander was curious about the heavy responsibility, but he had military duties to attend to, so he left in a hurry after a few words and reported to the headquarters again.

After the brigade commander left, Ren Zhong shook his head secretly. He didn't expect that even though he gave Kong Jie a hint, the independent regiment was still beaten so badly by Yamamoto. It seems that Li Yunlong, Yamamoto's destined opponent, will probably have an unavoidable bloody battle.

It seems that if I don't give Li Yunlong some special treatment, he will suffer a great loss if he meets Yamamoto again.

When the first barrel of concentrated sulfuric acid was produced, Zhu Zhendong and his colleagues who participated in the installation and production shed tears of happiness. Although they had simulated the entire production process many times through experimental equipment before, that was a laboratory after all, which was very different from the on-site production environment.

Now we have completed industrial mass production using the production equipment and production lines designed by Ren Zhong. Even though the current output of this set is only more than 20 kilograms a day, this is a real production line!

As the second earthen kiln is about to enter the cooling period, they will be able to assemble a second production line soon. The cycle will continue and the base will no longer be short of sulfuric acid like this.

"Brother Ren, what exactly is the pricing rule for your No. 81 Chemical Plant and sulfuric acid? Tell me the bottom of it. This is a big event for our base." Upon hearing that the clothing factory had set up a sulfuric acid production line, Zhang Wanhe ran over and shamelessly started to treat Ren Zhong as a brother.

This was the experience Zhang Wanhe gained from learning from Li Yunlong. He was now extremely poor and owed Ren Zhong tens of thousands of dollars for penicillin. He really didn't have the money to buy it, but it was even more inappropriate to get it for free.

"Minister Zhang, this is what I think about this matter. The 81st Chemical Factory has finally achieved something. I think it would not be ideal to give it to either an individual or the base for future development. Giving it all to an individual would be detrimental to the production and scheduling of strategic materials, and if it were all given to the base, it would not be conducive to attracting more people to the base to carry out related investment and factory work in the future."

"How about this? We will make the whole factory a public-private partnership. The base will invest in the land and undertake the collection of raw materials, and will hold 6% of the factory shares. Then the investors will hold 3%, and the factory management and workers will hold 1%. After the cost accounting of the entire factory's property, % of the profit will be taken out every year to distribute dividends according to the shares. The sales of products are now directed to the base, and we will talk about it when there is a new market in the future.

The prices of labor, raw materials and finished products will be negotiated annually based on the actual prices in the base area. "Ren Zhong proposed his own plan.

It's not that he was reluctant to give the factory away, but he felt that if he did so, it would be very unfavorable for other people to come to the base to invest and set up factories in the future. Although the current base is still very weak, it is basically impossible for businessmen from other places to risk their lives to come to the base.

But he knew the history, and knew that within a few years the base would grow so large that no one could ignore it and achieve complete victory.

Now that the rules have been set, we can get back to the basics. After all, this method is a better choice to mobilize the enthusiasm of all parties.

It is impossible for Ren Zhong to support the industrialization process of an entire dimension by himself, but with a good mechanism, he can mobilize thousands of smart people to join the construction industry, which will enable the dimension to be built faster.

Zhang Wanhe obviously didn't expect Ren Zhong to come up with such a complicated solution. It's not that Zhang didn't understand, but he understood most of it, but it would take someone at a higher level to give an answer, after all, there is no precedent for this. However, from Zhang's understanding, he approved of Ren Zhong's solution.

"Brother Ren, I will take your plan back and let the leaders study it. I can't give you a definite answer for now, but you must first improve production. We are in short supply of weapons and ammunition in the base right now. Your invention will greatly alleviate the shortage of ammunition in the base and enhance our ability to be self-reliant." Zhang Wanhe replied to Ren Zhong apologetically.

"It doesn't matter. If it's just the No. 81 Chemical Plant, it wouldn't matter if we hand it over directly to the base. But the base can't have only me, Ren Zhong, developing the industry now and in the future. So in terms of the mechanism, Minister Zhang still needs to make it clear to the bosses. If the base is to develop, we must not only drive away the Japanese, but also develop the economic construction of the base so that it can become stronger and stronger." Ren Zhong nodded heavily, and he understood that Zhang Wanhe could not make a promise.

This was not something Zhang Wanhe could decide, and even the CEO was unlikely to give such an open policy. Perhaps he could do so for the No. 81 Chemical Factory founded by Ren Zhong, but this was not Ren Zhong's original intention. In this world of Bright Sword, Ren Zhong had other ways to make money and did not need to be so fussy about this.

Zhang Wanhe returned with a full load of concentrated sulfuric acid samples. The success of concentrated sulfuric acid made the subsequent breakthrough of concentrated nitric acid easy. Li Yunlong had previously purchased a lot of mineral resources such as pyrite and saltpeter under the guidance of Ren Zhong and with the help of Dayang.

With the help of Ren Zhong, Zhu Zhendong and others gradually mastered the production process of sulfuric acid and nitric acid and became skilled tool workers.

Just when their self-awareness level had risen and they were preparing to make a big move in the No. 81 Chemical Plant, Ren Zhong threw out the calcium soap method for producing glycerin, the basin nitration method for producing nitroglycerin, as well as the traditional manufacturing process materials such as double-base smokeless gunpowder and nitroglycerin explosives!

Immediately put this group of people back into overdrive!
Fortunately, Zhang Wanhe mobilized a team of nearly one hundred workers as soon as he returned. He concentrated the human resources that could be mobilized from almost all other industries within the control of the headquarters to fully support the production of the 81 Chemical Plant.

After Zhu Zhendong taught this group of people how to operate the entire production process, the cylinder tower method sulfuric acid production line continued to increase its production capacity at the rate of adding one set of equipment per week.

During this process, Zhu Zhendong and his team, who have mastered the mature traditional production technology of double-base smokeless gunpowder and nitroglycerin explosives, have completed the first demonstration production line and achieved simple industrial production of ten kilograms per day.

Li Yunlong, who discovered the treasure of Ren Zhong, took office immediately with 200 boxes of border-made goods and cotton-padded clothes that he had snatched from Zhang Wanhe!
Before leaving, Lao Li found Ren Zhong and had a big drink with him. While half drunk and half awake, Ren Zhong vowed that after completing the set of technology for the 81st Chemical Plant, he would come to Yangcun to help the Independent Regiment build a new bullet processing plant!
