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

Political Commissar Qin also took the opportunity to say, "That's right, Xiao Kong, I have to criticize you on this point. The Arsenal is so busy now, and you as the chief consultant are a bit off-duty."

Because the three of them are very familiar with each other and cooperate very well when working, it is harmless to joke around occasionally, and it can even relieve a tired mind.

But the factory director and the political commissar both knew in their hearts that Kong Hao was never a person who acted without purpose, and everything he did had a deep meaning.

Sometimes, the two even felt that this young man was shrouded in hundreds of years of wisdom, emitting a dazzling light at every moment.

"Director, Political Commissar, this is not an ordinary fire pit. It is a good thing that can change the living habits of many people. It can also bring a lot of money to our troops to develop their combat power."

"This thing called a stove can control the size of the fire. With just four pieces of honeycomb coal, it can meet the needs of a family's cooking needs for the whole day. It is very suitable for families living in cities."

"It's also easier to add coal to this kind of stove. It's not like a fire pit, which needs someone to watch it at all times. Otherwise, it will go out easily, and you have to light the fire again the next day, which is very troublesome."

"The stove we developed completely eliminates these shortcomings and is very coal-efficient. It can provide hot water for a family all day long and can also be used for heating in winter. Do you think this thing is good?"

Just as he said this, the water in the kettle began to boil. Kong Hao quickly took it down, revealing the honeycomb coal inside.

He first poured a cup of hot water for each of the two leaders, and then picked up the tongs next to him, ready to pick up a honeycomb coal from the stove and show it to the two leaders, so that it could be presented more intuitively.

Director Ren and Political Commissar Qin quickly took the teacup and held it in their hands to feel the warmth.

Now that the weather has gradually turned cooler, it is a great pleasure to be able to drink a cup of hot water. Although there is often hot water in the office and there is a special kettle, there is not enough to share with so many people.

Because the location of the arsenal is very special, Kong Hao has formulated strict regulations that prohibit the random felling of trees. At most, they can only pick up some dead branches for burning for cooking, or use coal transported from outside.

With so many people in the arsenal, the daily consumption of three meals a day is very high, and it is very inconvenient to use coal balls to make fire. After Kong Hao learned about the situation, he combined the stoves and honeycomb coal that every household often burned when he was a child, and specially developed the most suitable fire-making tools for ordinary people at this time.

"Two leaders, take a look at this stove. It is completely closed, with only the top open. This way, all the heat can be concentrated and the heat of the coal can be fully utilized."

"We can also adjust the fire power by lowering the stove cover. When we use it to cook rice or boil water, we can open the stove cover completely so that the temperature of the stove will be the highest. It only takes about ten minutes to cook a pot of rice."

"When you don't use it or at night, you can close the lid and leave a hole for the air. Just add a new piece of honeycomb coal and you'll have hot water the next morning."

After saying this, he skillfully used tongs to pick out three honeycomb coals, and took out the one at the bottom, put the first and second ones into the furnace, and put a new one on top.

"My dear leaders, the biggest advantage of this honeycomb briquettes is that they are breathable. As long as we align the small holes of the three honeycomb briquettes, we can ventilate the entire furnace from bottom to top and make the fire burn vigorously."

After hearing this, Political Commissar Qin said with great interest: "Xiao Kong, how much does a piece of this thing called honeycomb coal weigh? How long can it burn?"

"A piece of honeycomb coal weighs about one and a half kilograms, of which coal accounts for 60%, and it is also mixed with some mud and straw. If a piece of honeycomb coal is used for cooking or boiling water, it can burn continuously for four hours. If it is not needed, the fire can be turned down directly. According to statistics, three to four pieces a day are enough."

Hearing this data, the two leaders were very excited, and Director Ren asked directly:

"Xiao Kong, how much do you want for this stove and briquettes?"

"In fact, the furnace process is very simple. An ordinary blacksmith can make it. The price is not high. You can buy two for one dollar. Moreover, this kind of thing is strong and durable. It will not break even after ten or eight years of use."

"As for honeycomb briquettes, they are even cheaper. After all, Shanxi Province is known as the coal capital, and coal is everywhere. The main raw material of our honeycomb briquettes is coal, and it is the kind of broken coal that no one wants, so the price is even cheaper."

"If we sell to ordinary people, we can convert it according to the local rice price. If every household only needs one stove, three pieces of honeycomb coal a day, one hundred yuan a month is completely enough, even in special circumstances."

"As for pricing, a month's quota of 100 yuan only requires 15 kilograms of food. However, if the stall is expanded, the price can be higher in those big cities. It needs to be adjusted according to market conditions."

"There is an old Chinese saying that the seven things that ordinary people need when they open their doors are firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea."

"It's better in the countryside. There are trees and firewood everywhere. As long as you spend some time and manpower, you can always get enough fuel."

"But the people in the city are suffering. Many people have to rely on woodcutters from villages outside the city to cut wood and deliver it to them. All the wood that can be burned is extremely expensive."

"When burning coal balls, it is also troublesome to start the fire. Once the fire pit goes out, it will take half a day to start the fire the next morning. With a stove like ours, it only takes a few minutes to start the fire."

"According to statistics and analysis by our technicians, if a family burns honeycomb briquettes for a year, it can reduce living costs by at least 30%."

"Especially after using the stove, we can drink boiled water every day, which can reduce the number of illnesses for the whole family and save a lot of money."

"I'm sure the two leaders also know that for poor families, even a minor cold is a huge trouble and may even lead to death."

After hearing this, Director Ren and Political Commissar Qin's eyes lit up immediately, and then they praised loudly:

"Okay, that's great!"

"If it can really be implemented on a large scale, it will be a great blessing for the Chinese people."

In fact, ordinary people also know the benefits of drinking boiled water. Whenever someone is sick, the old doctor at the entrance of the village always specifically advises:

"When you get home, drink more hot water. It's best to boil the water before drinking it. It's good for your health."

In fact, everyone understands the principle, but it is very difficult to do. It takes a lot of firewood to boil a pot of water, unless someone in the family is sick and there is no other way but to grit your teeth and boil some hot water. In addition, boiling medicine also requires a lot of wood, which is another considerable expense.
