Bright Sword: Starting from the Improved Grenade

"brigadier!!"

The shout was not from Zhao Tianyang. Li Yunlong appeared at the kitchen door, looking exhausted.

"Commander, why didn't you tell me you were coming? I was so ready!"

Looking at Li Yunlong who was flattering, the brigade commander looked at him jokingly: "What are you preparing for? Is there anything else you want to hide from me?"

"Hey, how dare I! How could I have the guts to hide this from you, Brigade Commander!"

“Puchi… Sorry, I couldn’t help it, haha…”

Zhao Tianyang lowered his head and tried to hold back his laughter. Li Yunlong's lackeylike look was so funny.

"never mind."

After Zhao Tianyang laughed at him, the brigade commander was in no mood to continue teasing. He looked at Zhao Tianyang and asked, "How's your work, little brother? Are you done?"

"I?"

Zhao Tianyang sped up and completed the final stirring in two strokes.

"Report to the commander, all right."

"Haha, don't be so serious, come on and tell me about the arsenal!"

"Yes, Chief."

Zhao Tianyang put the big vat back into the corner and let it sit naturally, then he took the brigade commander and two others out of the kitchen and walked towards the arsenal.

"Commander, wait for me. I'm going too. I know the situation at the arsenal. Let me introduce it to you!"

Fearing any accidents might happen, Li Yunlong hurriedly followed.

"Sir, please look, this factory is the main part of the arsenal."

"We have many small lathes. Not only can we make simple weapons like grenades, but we can also make guns and cannons. But we don't have the conditions for that now."

"There are several small blast furnaces next to the arsenal that can smelt iron and steel. If you count them, this place can barely be considered a steel rolling mill!"

Zhao Tianyang was joking.

"Ah."

Looking at the neatly arranged lathes in the factory, the brigade commander was very happy: "It's already very good, a tall building is built from the ground up!"

"Commander, there's nothing to see here. Let's go up the mountain to the sulfuric acid factory. The equipment in that factory is all produced by us. It's amazing!"

Li Yunlong was afraid that the brigade commander would have ideas about these machine tools, so he shamelessly approached him and tried to trick the brigade commander into going up the mountain.

The brigade commander found it a little funny, but he did not expose Li Yunlong's little trick and followed him.

It just so happened that he also wanted to visit the sulfuric acid plant because those things were replicable.

These machine tools are good and he is very interested in them, but he would feel guilty if he were asked to give a direct order to move all the machine tools to the brigade headquarters. After all, these are the result of Li Yunlong's hard work.

"Commander, you must be tired. This sulfuric acid plant is placed in the mountains for the safety of the villagers."

The mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk on, and Li Yunlong began to show off the knowledge he learned from Zhao Tianyang.

"I know that the production of sulfuric acid produces a lot of toxic gases and toxic waste. Brother Tianyang is very thoughtful to open a sulfuric acid plant in the mountains!"

The brigade commander said the last sentence to Zhao Tianyang, which made Zhao Tianyang quite embarrassed.

"Hehe, I didn't think much about it. I just wanted to avoid causing trouble for the people."

"This...Brigade Commander, you know all this!"

Li Yunlong opened his mouth and muttered softly. He thought he could show off in front of the brigade commander.

"Hahaha, Captain Li, don't you know that our brigade commander graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy and studied in the Soviet Union? He knows a lot!"

The guard following Li Yunlong whispered jokingly.

With a "slap", Li Yunlong slapped the guard on the head: "How dare you laugh at me!"

"Ouch!"

The guard covered his head and said, "Captain Li, you hit me again!"

"Li Yunlong, you are bullying Xiao Meng again. Come here quickly. Do you want to be beaten?"

On the hillside, the brigade commander turned around and yelled at Li Yunlong who still wanted to bully the guard.

"Hey, it's coming, it's coming."

"Commander, I didn't bully Xiao Meng. I was teaching him the ways of the world."

Li Yunlong ran to the brigade commander happily.

The brigade commander slapped Li Yunlong on the head with a "pa" sound: "I don't know you yet, hurry up and lead the way for me."

..............

"Brigade Commander, do you see those rows of ceramic vats? We use the sulfuric acid they distill!"

In the sulfuric acid factory, Li Yunlong showed off the knowledge he had memorized with great difficulty.

"We put the pyrite into the incinerator, burn it to produce sulfur dioxide, and then the sulfur dioxide enters these pots... and then..."

Looking at Li Yunlong who was scratching his head anxiously, Zhao Tianyang on the side reminded him in a low voice.

"Sulfur dioxide gas enters the pot and reacts with oxygen to form sulfur trioxide, which is absorbed by water and forms sulfuric acid."

"Oh yes, that's it!"

Li Yunlong clapped his hands happily.

Seeing this, the brigade commander shook his head speechlessly and came to the pottery tower to observe it carefully.

"Brigade Commander, these things can be copied!"

Li Yunlong stood beside the brigade commander and whispered.

"this......."

The brigade commander's heart moved, but he shook his head. These things looked simple, but he knew that without Zhao Tianyang, it would be impossible for those blacksmiths, carpenters, and bricklayers to make them.

And it was impossible for him to let Zhao Tianyang give up this almost mature arsenal and run to another place to start over.

"Commander, you can actually find some people to come here to study, and our arsenal is indeed in great need of talent right now!"

Zhao Tianyang saw the brigade commander's concerns and quickly stepped forward to suggest that if he could get those big shots from his previous life to the arsenal, he would be able to take off in minutes!

"Well, your suggestion is very good. I will hold a meeting to discuss it when I get back!"

The bosses actually held a meeting to discuss the development of the Eighth Route Army's own military industry, but they have not yet stabilized, so the matter has come to nothing.

Now the arsenal run by Li Yunlong is developing quite well. It seems that it can be used as a pilot unit.

"It's better to call that college student over here. Brother Tianyang is too tired to do it alone!"

Li Yunlong on the side took the opportunity to mutter something.

"You're so beautiful! I want you as a college student!"

The brigade commander glared at Li Yunlong and said, "Lead the way quickly. Let's go to other factories to have a look."

The brigade commander then visited the alcohol factory and the paper factory. Overall he was quite satisfied. He was so satisfied that he didn't want to pursue the small mistakes Li Yunlong had made in the past few days.

"Commander, why don't you leave without eating? We killed three pigs today!"

Li Yunlong pulled the brigade commander's clothes with a look of reluctance.

"No, everyone is busy."

The brigade commander pushed Li Yunlong away and got on the sidecar he had just robbed from Li Yunlong: "Drive quickly."

He had taken three hundred Type 38 rifles, several thousand grenades, more than ten Dinglong grenade launchers, and a large amount of ammunition from Li Yunlong. If he didn't run away now, when would he run away?

“Ka-ka-ka…..thump-thump….”

Guard Xiao Meng immediately started his sidecar and disappeared in a flash.

"Brigade Commander, what would I do without you!!!"

Looking at the cart team following the brigade commander, Li Yunlong looked desperate: "My equipment! I have worked so hard to accumulate all this!"

"Stop howling, everyone has gone far away."

Zhao Tianyang came to Li Yunlong and asked: "Have you given all the blueprints to the brigade commander?"

"Yes, the brigade commander said he would send the blueprints back to headquarters."

Li Yunlong wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "Finally he left. Fortunately he hid all the cannons."
