Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army

Mulan County No.1 Power Plant,

Night came,

The whole world seems to be frozen in this cold midnight, silent and mysterious, making people feel the majesty of nature and indulge in the pure tranquility and beauty.

There is already a thin layer of snow on the ground!

There was a roar of a motor.

Two trucks and a half-track armored vehicle slowly arrived at the scene!

The person in charge of the construction of this power plant is Wu Hui. At this moment, he is waiting at the gate of the factory with more than 30 workers.

The temperature was minus ten degrees Celsius, and even though the workers were wearing cotton clothes, they were still stamping their feet in the cold!

Yin Xinjun and Ding Shan got off the armored vehicle.

"Boss Wu, thank you for your hard work!"

Yin Xinjun held Wu Hui's hand.

“It’s not hard, it’s not hard, this is what we should do!”

Wu Hui's voice was a little trembling. He must have been standing in the snow for a long time!

"Okay, the weather is so cold. I won't waste your time. Let's make the formal handover!" Yin Xinjun said considerately!

On the other hand, the soldiers of the Security Command did not feel too cold because they all wore thermal underwear and a full set of cotton coats and trousers!

After Wu Hui's people were handed over, Ding Shan led the soldiers to set up guard posts around the power plant! However, there was no one inside the plant, which also facilitated Yin Xinjun's operation!

Yin Xinjun and Ding Shan rushed in impatiently.

The first thing he went to was the boiler room. He took out the coal-fired boiler of the generator, placed it on the foundation, aligned the holes around it with the embedded bolts, took out the nuts, and tightened them!

Next was the warehouse opposite the boiler room. He took out a large pile of coal from the space. These were all taken out from the Fushun Coal Mine, and the warehouse was filled to the brim!

Then there are coal crushers, conveyor belts, steam turbines, generator sets, steam equipment, condensing systems, electrical systems, and other ancillary facilities!

It was not until after 2 a.m. that he finished the installation work, and then he started wiring the electrical system.

Fortunately, the space can also repair the equipment, and the missing small parts and small cables are all there and can be found!

Finally, it’s time to connect the various pipes!

With the help of Ding Shan, all the equipment was finally connected before dawn!

Ding Shan hurried back tiredly, but all the soldiers guarding the power plant stayed behind to continue defending it. This place must not be destroyed!

the next morning,

According to the advance arrangement, more than 70 employees of the power company came to the power plant. As soon as they arrived at the power plant and saw the brand new equipment, they all jumped for joy!

This means that Mulan County will have electricity!

This first power plant serves the county town and surrounding areas!

Yin Xinjun once again led everyone to carry out the trial operation and debugging of the equipment, and he was busy the whole day!

Qingfeng Street,

Tongjulou Hotel,

Behind the counter,

Shop owner Zhang Honglu looked at the crowded tables in the hall and smiled happily.

What is the best business to do in Mulan County? Opening a restaurant! The county government only imposes a 10% tax, and the amount of grain purchased is also limited, so there is plenty of extra food and it is cheap!

Recently, there are many more snack shops and wine shops on this street.

Zhang Honglu knew he didn't have the skills, his only specialty was cooking, so he borrowed 1 yuan from the county bank, rented a shop of more than 100 square meters, and opened a small restaurant!

Just as he expected, after the restaurant opened, it was packed with people. There were too many wealthy people in Mulan County!

In the military camp alone, many officers come here to eat and drink and almost book the whole place. They spend money without blinking an eye, as if they are afraid that they will not be able to spend it all!

Of course, it’s not just his restaurant, the six other restaurants on the entire street are doing booming business!

It was 7pm in the evening and the guests at each table had already left. The night in Northeast China was too cold and dark, and many people didn't want to stay outside for too long! How comfortable would it be to lie on the heated kang at home?

There was only one table left. I lit a candle and asked the waiter to add another dish.

Zhang Honglu was a little dissatisfied. After this table of food was finished, they could close the restaurant and take a break!

At that moment, without any warning, the street lights all lit up instantly as if by magic! The bright light pierced through the darkness like a sword, illuminating the entire street like daylight.

Zhang Honglu stared at the scene in astonishment with his eyes wide open, his mouth slightly open, even forgetting to close it. He could never have imagined that there would be such a brilliance in this dark night.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind like lightning - didn't he install a new lamp in his shop a few days ago? Thinking of this, he turned around and ran without hesitation, his feet were like a flying arrow.

In the blink of an eye, he rushed to the door of the store and stopped panting. Then, he quickly reached out and grabbed the switch cord and pulled it hard. In an instant, the light bulb hanging from the ceiling emitted a dazzling light, illuminating the entire store.

"The power is on!" I don't know who shouted this first, and then cheers and applause echoed throughout the street. People came out of their homes, their faces filled with joy and excitement, sharing the happiness brought by the sudden light.

Then I heard the guests at that table also spoke loudly,

"Old Zhao, you said something big was going to happen tonight, is this it?"

"Haha, my wife went to work early this morning. She works for the power company. She told me that the power might come out tonight!"

On Qingfeng Street,

There are obviously more people.

Soon, three more people came into the store and shouted at Zhang Honglu,

"Boss, a pot of wine, two stir-fried dishes, we are going to drink and celebrate tonight!"

Not only the entire Qingfeng Street, but the entire county was brightened up, children played under the lights, their laughter echoed throughout the county, and adults gathered in groups of three or five, talking about life after the electricity was connected.

The restaurant on Zhanghong Road was full of people again at 9 o'clock in the evening!

The snow on the streets has been cleared.

Yin Xinjun looked at the joy on the faces of the people, and felt touched and responsible in his heart! He secretly vowed to fight to the end for the new China! Fight to the end for the Chinese people to live a happy life as soon as possible!

"Ding, it is detected that the master has achieved phased results and has brought electricity to the county. A mine is specially awarded as a reward!"

Yin Xinjun immediately chose the coal mine! Now the production in Northeast China is stagnant and coal cannot be bought. He looked at the daily supply, which is 500 tons!

He calculated according to the instruction manual and found that the power of this generator set is 1 kilowatts and the coal consumption is only 80 tons per day!

This means that the 500 tons of coal are more than enough for lighting. By the time the factory starts operating, the Soviet army will probably have withdrawn, and some coal mines in the Northeast should be able to resume production!
