I am an artillery soldier

Chapter 436
After Liu Gen answered all the questions for Kong Jue, it was almost noon. Speaking of which, Liu Gen wasted a whole morning in order to answer Kong Jue's questions.

"Mr. Liu, thank you for answering these questions for me." Kong Jue bowed.

After asking Liu Gen so many questions, Kong Jue clearly realized the gap between himself and Liu Gen. He was older than Liu Gen, but in many respects, he could not compare with Liu Gen.Liu Gen was not directly called by his name, and Liu Gen was called Chief Engineer Liu, which represented a change in Kong Jue's mentality.

Liu Gen quickly reached out to support Kong Jue, "Brother Kong, what are you doing like this? The two of us are communicating on an equal footing. While helping you answer questions, I also learned a lot of new things myself."

In the process of answering Kong Jue's various questions, Liu Gen also kept sorting out the relevant knowledge in his mind.From this knowledge, Liu Gen discovered many problems in himself. When Liu Gen discovered these problems and solved them, he got a certain improvement again.

Kong Jue said nothing. He looked at Liu Gen with some emotion. From Kong Jue's point of view, Liu Gen was just taking care of his own face.In the arsenal, Kong Jue still had some reputation. Many workers knew of Kong Jue's existence and knew that Kong Jue was a talented young man.

Feeling Kong Jue's gaze on him, Liu Gen smiled wryly in his heart. He realized that Kong Jue might have misunderstood him.But there are too many people here, and Liu Gen is not good at explaining to Kong Jue in detail. I hope Kong Jue will not be affected too much.

"Comrades in the arsenal, it's noon now, and it's time for lunch."

"Comrades have been listening here all morning, and you should be hungry. I hope you can leave the Artillery Department in an orderly manner. You still have a lot of work to do." Liu Gen looked at the workers from various departments present. , said sincerely.

The workshop of the artillery department is not too small, and it is not a problem to accommodate two to 300 people. However, because Liu Gen answered questions for Kong Jue, the artillery department was directly crowded with workers.If the workers on the periphery did not leave, then other workers would not be able to leave the Artillery Department at all.

Foreman Qi and others looked at Liu Gen's position. In Liu Gen, they seemed to see the hope of the future of the arsenal.Compared with other young people, Liu Gen has matured a lot, and it is rare to see the youthful side in Liu Gen.

And it is not impossible to find young people like Liu Gen in the Eighth Route Army. These young people who have become mature and stable have too many things on their shoulders, and they are under too much pressure.Young people should have the vitality and naughtiness that belong to young people, but now because of the war, young people like Liu Gen can only make themselves mature and stable.

"We also need to work hard! We can't let young people do everything." Foreman Qi took the lead to leave, seeming a little more determined.

The other heads of various parts of the arsenal were a little silent. After a while, they looked at each other and could see the firmness in each other's eyes.Liu Gen, a young man, is working hard to change the arsenal and make the arsenal better. Old people like them also need to do something!
On weekdays, these heads of various departments work very hard at work, but now, they realize that they need to work harder!In such an era, as long as you are still alive, you must work hard!After death, there is too much time to rest.

Several persons in charge quietly left the Artillery Department, and stayed in the Artillery Department this morning to listen carefully to Liu Genwei's answer to Kong Jue. They also learned a lot.Now that they are leaving, they don't intend to disturb Liu Gen. Liu Gen will be a little tired after this morning.

Liu Gen didn't notice that Chief Qi and the others had been here before, and by the time he left the artillery department with Kong Jue, 10 minutes had passed.It is true that too many people came to the Artillery Department this morning. After all these people left, Liu Gen and the others checked that there was no problem with the machine tool equipment in the Artillery Department before leaving the Artillery Department for lunch.

Liu Gen is still very concerned about the machine tools and equipment of the artillery department, which is related to the speed at which he can manufacture rocket launchers.With enough good machine tools and equipment, it will not take too long to manufacture the rocket launcher, but the machine tool equipment in the arsenal is not good, and there are still many problems to be solved in order to successfully manufacture the rocket launcher.

After lunch, Liu Gen took Kong Jue and others to work. They didn't have much work in the afternoon, and they only needed to do some preparations before making the rocket launcher.

Under Liu Gen's leadership, there were naturally no problems during the preparation period, and everything went very smoothly.Because Liu Gen explained a lot of things in the morning, Kong Jue and others did not show the slightest impatience when they were preparing for the work. They were very attentive in everything they did.

At work, Liu Gen saw the performance of Kong Jue and others, and he was very satisfied.

Manufacturing rocket launchers is not a simple matter, and there will inevitably be many problems during the period, and solving these problems undoubtedly requires enough patience.

When Liu Gen was making the rocket launcher, he received an order from the division commander. The first batch of students had already received enough learning in the Artillery School, and then they needed to be sent to various units for enough actual combat. To ensure that they can grow up quickly.

When sending these students away, Liu Gen was extremely reluctant. After spending such a long time with these students, Liu Gen had already developed a deep relationship with them.Thinking that these students will inevitably suffer certain casualties when they enter the various units, Liu Gen can't bear to let them leave and stay by his side, maybe these students will not be in danger.

However, Liu Gen also knew that it was unrealistic to keep these students by his side. In the end, he only left three students headed by Wang Chao.

It is worth mentioning that the head of the secret service team, Ou Tuan, also deliberately left a few students. He has already known a lot about Liu Gen from the bosses, and he is still very confident in the students trained by Liu Gen. of.In Head Ou's view, even if these students couldn't do what Liu Gen did, they would definitely be better than ordinary artillery.

Head Ou is very smart, he didn't miss this opportunity, and even said that in order to get a few more students, he specially asked for a password from the bosses, and finally head Ou successfully took away six students.

It is already very good to be able to take away six students. You must know that the 129th Division has a lot of troops. There are quite a few students in the first phase, but there will not be too many of them in the various troops. Most of the troops There are only two or three students who can be assigned.There are not many units in the entire 129th Division that can assign several students like the Special Service Regiment.

After the trainees were assigned to various units, the scale of the artillery school became much smaller, and the soldiers of the security department only needed to train every day.During this period, Liu Genyou sent soldiers to look for Chen Ergou's trace, but he couldn't find Chen Ergou's figure. After many inquiries, he learned that Chen Ergou led the soldiers into the depths of the Taihang Mountains. He succeeded in getting rid of the devil army.

After contacting the troops in the Taihang Mountains, Liu Gen confirmed the news that Chen Ergou and others were still alive. Chen Ergou led more than 20 people to distract the devil troops, and finally rushed into the depths of the Taihang Mountains. Dogs and others are less than ten people.From the change in troop strength, Liu Gen could imagine how dangerous Chen Ergou and the others would be when they were trying to lure the devils away.

Since the devil's mopping up troops were still raging in the base area, Chen Ergou and the others couldn't join Liu Gen in a short time. In their state, it was feasible to stay in the Taihang Mountains for a period of time to develop.If Chen Ergou and the others were forced to join Liu Gen, once they encountered the devil's mopping up troops on the road, then Chen Ergou and the others would only be in greater danger.

After confirming the news of Chen Ergou and others, Liu Gen could devote himself to the manufacture of the rocket launcher without too much worry, and he clearly felt the difficulty of actually manufacturing the rocket launcher.Even though the barrel of the rocket launcher does not have high requirements for steel, Liu Gen still encountered a lot of troubles when manufacturing the barrel.

Under the limitation of objective conditions, it is difficult to improve the quality of steel in the arsenal. The only thing Liu Gen and the others can do is to make better barrels based on the existing steel.

After Liu Gen and the others produced a qualified barrel, they began to worry about the gunpowder of the rocket launcher. Fortunately, at this time, the arsenal made progress in the research of gunpowder, and the gunpowder was successfully manufactured.For this reason, Liu Gen specially applied to Director Xu for some ammonium nitrate gunpowder to make rockets.

In terms of power, ammonium nitrate gunpowder is undoubtedly much stronger than the black powder commonly used in arsenals. Liu Gen and others also know the power of ammonium nitrate gunpowder, and they are very cautious when making rockets, so there are no major problems.

Ammonium nitrate gunpowder is nothing to other countries, and it may not be too difficult, but for the Eighth Route Army arsenal, the difficulty of producing ammonium nitrate gunpowder is not small.During this period, in order to successfully develop ammonium nitrate gunpowder, many casualties occurred in the gunpowder R&D department of the arsenal. Every time there is an explosion, it may take away the lives of the R&D personnel.

The gunpowder that was applied for from Factory Director Xu was not much. There are many places in the arsenal that need this new type of gunpowder. The ammunition produced with this gunpowder will no longer have the embarrassing scene of being unable to kill people.It's just that even if the gunpowder department of the arsenal works overtime to produce ammonium nitrate gunpowder, it cannot fully meet the needs of the arsenal, which makes ammonium nitrate gunpowder very popular in the arsenal.

Liu Gen is well aware of the importance of gunpowder, and he wanted to contribute to the research and development of new gunpowder in the gunpowder department, but as soon as Liu Gen revealed such an idea, he was severely stopped by Director Xu.It's true that Liu Gen is a genius. No matter what he does, he has made a lot of achievements. It is precisely because Liu Gen is a genius that he needs to be protected enough.

When Director Xu took over the arsenal, he was entrusted by the bosses to pay attention to Liu Gen and not let Liu Gen do anything dangerous in the arsenal.At the beginning, Director Xu still didn't think so, even if Liu Gen is so good, so what?He is just a young man, how much real ability will he have?

But now, Director Xu clearly saw Liu Gen's ability, so he naturally would not have any idea of ​​putting Liu Gen in danger.

In order to prevent Liu Gen from disobeying orders and entering the gunpowder department rashly, Director Xu also specially asked Head Ou to ask for two soldiers, and asked the two soldiers to stay with Liu Gen all the time, to keep an eye on Liu Gen, and to prevent Liu Gen from going into trouble in the future. at risk.

There are two fighters by his side at all times, even if Liu Gen wants to enter the gunpowder department, it is impossible, unless Liu Gen knocks down these two fighters, but he will definitely not do so.Liu Gen had no grievances against these two fighters, so how could he easily attack them?In the end, Liu Gen could only get a piece of information about gunpowder from the prestige mall, hoping to help the R&D personnel of the gunpowder department in this way.

And when Liu Gen sent the information to the R&D personnel of the Gunpowder Department, this information was continuously studied by the R&D personnel. Under their continuous research, the R&D work of the Gunpowder Department progressed rapidly.The only thing that restricts the development of the Gunpowder Department is the shortage of manpower. It is impossible to make up for this shortage in a short period of time. It takes a long time to train these personnel.

In June, most of the manufacturing work on the rocket was completed, leaving only the engine problem inside the rocket to be solved.The engine inside the rocket is not very demanding. As a disposable product, the engine does not need to be made of very good materials, as long as it can not affect the start of the rocket.

For the engine of the rocket, Liu Gen led the workers to choose the manual polishing method. It was not that Liu Gen didn't want to use the machine tool to make it, but because the precision of the machine tool was not enough.The engine placed in the rocket is not large, and in the case of insufficient precision, it will be faster to polish it by hand.

In mid-June, Liu Gen led the Artillery Department to successfully manufacture a rocket launcher. Looking at the simple rocket launcher placed in the Artillery Department's workshop, Liu Gen and the artillery department staff were extremely excited.Only by personally participating in the manufacture of the rocket launcher will you understand how difficult it is to manufacture such a seemingly crude rocket launcher.

This time, in order to successfully manufacture the rocket launcher, Liu Gen and others spent almost a month, which is a bit too slow.Of course, the slow speed is also due to the fact that Liu Gen and others have no experience in manufacturing for the first time, especially when manufacturing some parts that cannot be manufactured by machine tools, it took too much time.

With the experience of successfully manufacturing rocket launchers, the speed will inevitably be much faster when it is manufactured next time.

On June 6, the heads of various departments of the arsenal came to the special task force. Today is the day for the rocket launcher to shoot live ammunition, and today's test firing also determines whether the arsenal will continue to produce this kind of rocket launcher in the future.

"Genzi, how are you guys? Are you nervous?" Chief Qi came to Liu Gen and asked with a smile after carefully observing the rocket launcher.

Liu Gen hesitated for a moment and then nodded. He was confident about the rocket launcher that he had personally made, but for some reason, he still felt a little more uneasy at this time, and was a little worried that there would be problems with the rocket launcher.
