I am an industrial worker during the War of Resistance

Chapter 58 God helps me
While Chen Changzai was in the workshop, adjusting the newly assembled 12.7mm caliber dual-purpose machine gun.

A sudden commotion came from outside the workshop.

Chen Changzai glanced back and saw Chen Chengshan, whose face was red from the cold, and several of his students.

Everyone carried a willow basket and walked quickly into the workshop.

Chen Changzai placed the machine gun on the workbench.

He smiled and asked the students who were jogging towards him, "Chengshan, you're back. Judging from your appearance, you must have had a fruitful trip."

Chen Chengshan and the others came to Chen Changzai and put down their baskets.

"Teacher, take a look, is this molybdenite?"
When we found them, they looked exactly like you described.

Hopefully we haven't misread it.

When Chen Chengshan and the others put down their baskets, Chen Changzai saw the ore inside.

He was stunned for a moment.

He immediately bent down, picked up a piece of ore from his basket, and examined it.

It has a layered, scaly texture, a smooth feel, a graphite-like appearance, and a strong metallic sheen.
Immediately, Chen Changzai used his fingernail to pry open the top layer of the ore.

After breaking it off, gently bend it with your hands; it is flexible and can be bent.

At this moment, Chen Changzai asked Chen Chengshan, "Where did you find this molybdenite?"

"Teacher, is in Daqingshan."

It is less than 20 kilometers away from our copper mine.

We discovered this mineral after we slipped and fell in the snow.

Later, we found this mineral within a one-kilometer radius of that location.

We judged that the molybdenite there was definitely not a small mine.

We later returned to the copper mine camp.

Battalion Commander Sun, who was stationed at the camp, heard that we had discovered new ore.

They sent two shifts of comrades to go back with us to look for ore.

We didn't come back until we had found almost everything.

This time we brought back five cartloads of ore.

We were worried that the teacher would be anxious, so we brought these baskets of ore back first.

Please confirm, teacher, whether this is molybdenite.

Judging from what you just said, it seems we haven't made a mistake.

This is indeed molybdenite.

"Yes, this is molybdenite ore. Judging from the color of this ore, the quality of these ores is very high."

Moreover, it's a molybdenite ore with a very high tungsten content; you guys are really lucky.

You stumbled and fell, and somehow you discovered a huge molybdenum mine.

This is truly a stroke of luck!

Haha~.

I heard the teacher say that this is indeed molybdenite, and it is molybdenite with a very high tungsten content.

Chen Chengshan and the other students were also swinging their fists with all their might.

They cheered loudly.

The students who were adjusting the heavy machine gun with Chen Changzai also jumped up and laughed.

They followed Chen Changzai and kept working on heavy machine guns.

After the design drawings of rifles and submachine guns are finalized and the prototypes are finalized.

Following Chen Changzai's instructions, they began to process the heavy machine gun's receiver, recoil mechanism, feeding mechanism, firing mechanism, and other components.

In addition to this machine gun, they also need to process various parts for the 37mm anti-aircraft gun.

Chen Changzai has already provided the blueprints for these components.

At that time, apart from steel for gun barrels and cannon barrels.

For the others, they can be replaced with medium carbon steel and high carbon steel.

During this period, the students who had been learning gun manufacturing from Chen Changzai truly broadened their horizons.

When Chen Changzai gave them the blueprints for the twin 37mm anti-aircraft gun and told them to study the blueprints carefully and to ask him questions if they didn't understand anything, they were told to do so.

His students immediately felt immense pressure.

This was an exam question that Chen Changzai gave to his students.

If they could thoroughly understand and comprehend the blueprints for the twin-barreled 37mm anti-aircraft gun.

Then they can say that they already have a very good foundation in ground-based air defense weapons.

Don't assume that what Chen Changzai gave to his students was just a blueprint. It involved a wide range of disciplines.

This includes: mechanical engineering, materials science and engineering, ballistics, control science and engineering, optics, thermodynamics, mechanics, manufacturing science and technology, and weapon systems engineering.

Moreover, these disciplines are further subdivided into even more subjects.

Therefore, the students who followed Chen Changzai could be said to be experiencing both pain and joy.

Chen Changzai did not simply assign homework without teaching them how to complete it.

The teaching materials he uses now are no longer the same as the ones he used to use, which were taught only where needed.

It wasn't just the comrades in the Special Branch who brought back those math, physics, and chemistry textbooks.

These new teaching materials were created by Chen Changzai over the course of more than a year.

He set aside a little time each day to slowly compile the teaching materials he had learned in his previous life.

He relied on the high school and university textbooks of that era, as well as the stimulation from English and German literature.

He kept reminiscing about his past life, about everything he learned while working, retaking his college entrance exams, and later studying to become an engineer.

It took more than a year.

All of these have been systematically summarized.

Then we began to gradually write new teaching materials, step by step.

Over the past year.

He simply compiled a set of textbooks that, in later generations, can be considered the most basic industrial engineering textbooks.

As for intermediate and advanced textbooks, compiling them would take more than a year or two.

However, in this day and age, some of the content in his elementary textbook is already suitable for use as a graduate textbook.

After all, he stood on the shoulders of giants of the era, looking back at the past.

His understanding and knowledge of science and technology are more advanced than that of the present era, which is inevitable.

After all, times are constantly developing and progressing.

Science and technology are also constantly accumulating.

His students, on the other hand, are very fortunate.

They have already enjoyed the opportunity to study with only four hours of sleep each day.

When the top leader saw the new teaching materials compiled by Chen Changzai.

He said to his comrades, "This set of teaching materials has laid the first foundation for the future development of our industry."

Its importance is self-evident.

We need to ensure that all teachers and students in our science schools thoroughly understand and comprehend the contents of this textbook.

The real goal is to thoroughly understand everything here.

If teachers have any questions about the content here, or if there is anything they don't understand.

Then let's go to Wujiabao to seek the true knowledge and ask for guidance there.

I also know that Comrade Changzai is very busy right now.

But I believe he is still very willing to let more people understand the content of this textbook.

And now in the workshop are the students who have been working with Chen Changzai on heavy machine guns and 37mm anti-aircraft guns.

They were acutely aware of the importance of discovering molybdenite.

Because if they have molybdenite ore, they can extract molybdenum and tungsten from it.

If you add a bit more nickel, which the teacher holds in their hands like a precious treasure and doesn't allow them to touch it.

Then they can synthesize enough gun steel to fully meet the needs of heavy machine guns and small- and medium-caliber artillery.

Medium carbon steel-based nickel-tungsten-molybdenum alloy steel.

　Thank you to all my friends who have supported me.

　　I'm working on updating it.

　　Medium carbon steel-based nickel-tungsten-molybdenum alloy steel is the Russian 16Cr3NiWMoVNbE alloy steel, which is frequently used in aerospace, precision high-pressure gears, and weapons manufacturing.

　　Moreover, it is currently the main type of steel used in large-caliber, high-strength artillery steel.

　　Although the purification technology is not yet up to the level of later generations, it is more than enough for small and medium caliber gun steel.

　　This is actually the protagonist's predicament.

　　Because he can only find these within his own sphere of influence.

　　The copper and molybdenite mines in Daqingshan are real.

　　I just moved the location.
