Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry

When Kong Hao arrived at the hydropower station, he found that the entire dam was full of technicians and maintenance workers installing and debugging equipment.

When the hydropower station manager Wei saw Kong Hao coming, he immediately ran over and greeted him warmly:

"Chief Advisor, I made a bet with a few old friends yesterday, saying that you would definitely come to inspect our hydropower station as soon as possible. As expected, I won. This time I don't have to worry about smoking."

Kong Hao didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this. He was really impressed by these old naughty boys who always made fun of him for no reason.

"Stationmaster Wei, energy is the foundation of all industrialization. If our arsenal wants to have great development, electricity is indispensable."

"This small hydropower station is the only one of our Eighth Route Army. It is of utmost importance and we must not be careless in any way."

"What is the progress of the hydropower station now? When can it officially generate electricity? Are there any problems?"

Stationmaster Wei saw that Kong Hao asked so many questions at once, and he also answered seriously:

"According to the plan, we will be able to officially connect to the grid and generate electricity in four days. Now we are mainly debugging the equipment, connecting power lines to the factories, and connecting lights to the arsenal office, conference room, and your room for daily lighting."

After hearing this, Kong Hao asked curiously:

"There shouldn't be any problem hooking up lights to the technicians' offices and conference room?"

"Those technicians need to stay up late for long periods of time to design solutions, and meetings are often held in conference rooms at night. If oil lamps are turned on, it will hurt the eyes."

"But why do we have to install electric lights in my room? Isn't this a sheer waste of resources?"

Director Wei responded quietly, "This is what the political commissar specifically told me. He said that you enjoy good living conditions abroad, live in high-rise buildings, and there are electric lights everywhere at night."

"But we in the Eighth Route Army have nothing, so it's reasonable for us to install an electric light for you."

"Stationmaster Wei, cancel the plan to install electric lights in my bedroom. Some resources cannot be wasted like this."

"Besides, I'm usually in the office or meeting room at night, so there's no need to set up special wires for me."

"By the way, can you tell me if you encountered any difficulties while laying the wires?"

Stationmaster Wei thought about it and decided to tell the most important thing at the moment.

"The problem facing hydropower stations now is that there is a shortage of experienced electricians, and the managers of hydropower stations lack experience."

"As you know, I was just a technician at a power plant before, and I was responsible for the maintenance of the generator equipment at the thermal power plant. I have never seen many of the equipment at this hydropower station before, so I was forced to do this."

"I'm always worried. This is the only hydroelectric power station of our Eighth Route Army. If there is a problem, I can't atone for my sin even if I die a hundred times."

After hearing this, Kong Hao hurriedly comforted her:

"Stationmaster Wei, it's not as serious as you say. Any new thing will have a process. It's not scary if problems arise. As long as we are good at summarizing and solving them, it will be fine."

"I have a few suggestions for your work."

Seeing Kong Hao say this, the smart and capable Xiao Wen immediately took out the pen and notebook he carried with him and recorded every word Kong Hao said.

After returning, they will be sorted into resolution items, and a dedicated person will track the subsequent results.

Originally, Kong Hao didn't want to do this. After all, this was a bit exaggerated. He was just a human being, not a god. If the Arsenal did this, it would be too dependent on him, which was not a good thing.

But Director Ren and Political Commissar Qin had no choice. After all, many of the factory equipment were the first time the people in their arsenal had seen them. Although there were detailed manuals, they had to learn many things from scratch.

This time, Kong Hao's value can be reflected. Although he is not a professional mechanical talent, he has heard and seen all aspects of later generations. If problems arise, he can also give some suggestions based on historical experience.

"The first suggestion is that the entire hydropower station should pay attention to air defense. It is best to plant trees with dense leaves next to the dam. Even on the dam, if it does not affect the road, a large number of green plants should be planted. It is best to choose evergreen trees."

"In winter, we should use straw to camouflage the roof and protruding parts to prevent enemy reconnaissance aircraft from finding the location of our hydropower station in the sky."

After hearing this, Stationmaster Wei nodded immediately. They have been doing this thing, but it was not as detailed and comprehensive as Kong Hao's.

At present, the Eighth Route Army's air defense capabilities are too weak to resist the bombing of Japanese aircraft. We must be extremely careful in everything we do.

Then, Kong Hao talked about the second point:

"After the hydropower station is built, our arsenal has entered the era of electrification, and we will need many electricians who understand technology. We must prepare for this in advance."

"The Arsenal is a confidential unit. Ordinary people cannot enter. This requires us to train our own personnel. This must be taken seriously."

"As for the third point, the wires used in our hydropower station were all brought back from the Japanese by the army or militia. During this period, all the wires must be carefully inspected and can only be used after they are fully qualified."

After Kong Hao finished saying this, he followed Stationmaster Wei to check the progress of the hydropower station and then left for the next place.

The second place is a cement factory. This factory has been open for several months and has produced several thousand tons of cement. The technology is basically mature.

Previously, the company produced special cement for hydropower stations, and now it can fully release this production capacity.

And precisely because the cement plant was exchanged by Kong Hao from the system, the corresponding technology is also very complete, and various grades of cement can be produced according to actual needs.

Special cement has high requirements and its output is fixed. If it is replaced with ordinary cement, the output of cement can be increased by half by working in two shifts.

In this way, in addition to the funds used to build the arsenal's factory buildings, it is entirely possible to provide the troops with one thousand tons of cement every month, which is a remarkable achievement.

Kong Hao looked at the technicians and employees of the cement factory working so hard, gave them a few words of encouragement and then left.

Next is the newly opened glass factory, which is also a project that Kong Hao attaches great importance to. When he arrived, he found that a meeting was being held in the conference room.

Kong Hao joined the meeting, but just sat on the side and listened.

The topic of today's meeting is also very simple. It is mainly to discuss the types of products produced during this period. To put it bluntly, in addition to completing the tasks assigned by superiors, we should also find ways to produce some valuable things to make money.

The entire arsenal is currently a money-eating beast, consuming a large amount of money and materials every day, and we always have to find ways to generate income.

The Eighth Route Army currently uses glass very rarely. Ordinary people basically use paper for their windows. Who would be willing to use something as expensive as glass windows?

The glass factory suddenly became the most embarrassing existence in the arsenal. Unlike the bullet production line, the bullets produced could directly improve the strength of the troops.

It's not like cement, which is in great demand everywhere.
