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

"Commander, the penicillin you produced is a low-quality product, but I have to say that it is very impressive that you were able to research it in this period of time."

"It is still very effective in reducing inflammation in wounds, especially for people who have never had penicillin injections. This concentration is basically enough, but there are still corresponding side effects."

"Of course, if you use the penicillin provided by the system, there will be no side effects at all."

Kong Hao was extremely happy to hear that the penicillin he developed was recognized by the system. As for the last sentence, he simply chose to ignore it.

He also knew that what the system provided was good stuff, but our troops needed tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of bottles. If we exchanged them all with merit points, we wouldn't be able to exchange much at all.

"It's better to have it yourself than to have it by your father or mother."

Only if we master the production process of penicillin can we gradually increase the output and purity. As long as we persist, it won’t take long before we can produce enough penicillin.

"Old Ma, how many doses of this penicillin can we produce in a day?"

"We are only in the verification stage now. We can only produce enough injections for about five times a day. If the verification is passed, we can expand the production scale to about 50 doses."

"Okay, first produce 20 injections. I'll send them to the headquarters hospital for clinical trials."

"Also, I would like to make a few suggestions regarding the production process of penicillin."

After that, he went over the entire production process in detail and put forward suggestions for improvement for each step. Director Ma's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he even clapped his thigh in applause.

The two secretaries, Xiaowen and Xiaowu, took up their notebooks and wrote down every word Kong Hao said in detail. This was the most valuable information.

Of course, these things were specially improved by Kong Hao and the system according to our current conditions. The effect is not great, but the output is 40% higher than the previous process, the concentration is three times higher and the impurities are half less.

At the same time, this also cost a full fifty merit points, which made Kong Hao feel distressed.

However, other people certainly don't know these things. Director Ma just thinks that the method proposed by the chief consultant is much better than their original process. As for how much better it is, it needs to be verified.

About four days later, Kong Hao took twenty bottles of penicillin and the arsenal's transport team to the headquarters' logistics hospital to prepare for clinical trials to confirm the final effect.

In order to increase the concentration of penicillin, he also exchanged an X-ray machine and a machine that can produce ultraviolet rays through the system, which are specifically used to irradiate the strains so that its output can reach 6000 units. This is already the highest concentration of penicillin on Blue Star. Now it depends on the treatment effect.

Because this matter was too important, Kong Hao did not send a telegram to explain it, but just took a few people with him to follow the main force.

At this time, Minister Zhang was processing documents in the Logistics Department's office. There were too many things going on recently and he was too busy to handle them all.

In the past, when there was nothing, he was worried. The troops had no food, no water, no equipment, and everyone depended on the logistics department to get some supplies;

Now he has a decent-sized fortune, and can distribute a large amount of supplies to the troops every month. However, the people from the arsenal are urging him every day, asking for various raw materials, which makes him even more worried.

Without sufficient raw materials, the arsenal's production capacity cannot be fully utilized, which is a huge waste for our Eighth Route Army.

For example, if a factory producing steel helmets stops production due to a shortage of raw materials, about 300 helmets will be lost per day, which is not a small amount.

For example, in bicycle production, if there is enough rubber, producing 5,000 bicycles a month is no problem. It’s a pity that natural rubber is too difficult to obtain.

"Chief Xiao, how are you handling the foreign currency that the Taiyue Military Region recently handed over?"

"Minister, most of it has been distributed. Most of it has been used to purchase scarce supplies in the base, especially large quantities of medical supplies, which cost a lot of money."

"But fortunately we use British pounds and US dollars, which are hard currencies in the world. Foreigners like to trade with us the most and basically give us discounts."

"That's good, but now we have to give priority to purchasing various raw materials, such as rubber, iron ore, copper ore, etc. Our arsenal is anxiously waiting for these things to be put into production."

The funds handed over by the brigade commander indeed exceeded the expectations of the headquarters chief.

These days, it is not easy to obtain so much foreign exchange, especially the British pound. The United States is still the world hegemon, and the currency they issue is very valuable, and ordinary people really can't get it.

You can use pounds to buy any materials in the concession, even some scarce items.

This was especially true in the Kuomintang-controlled areas, where the dignitaries were particularly keen on British pounds and US dollars and loved them very much.

These funds were actually a pleasant surprise, and they temporarily alleviated the difficulties of our base. However, this money cannot be kept in our hands, and should be spent as soon as possible.

Minister Zhang also knew that such a large sum of money must have been brought back by Kong Hao, and only the Xingtian Special Forces had the ability to continuously bring money back home.

Not only that, in Tianjin, the intelligence personnel there also handed over nearly one million oceans, which greatly relieved the main force nearby. The leaders of the base there even sent a telegram to the logistics department to express their gratitude.

After all, Kong Hao led the special forces to carry out the mission this time, and they used the name of the special team of the logistics department, which also brought some glory to the logistics department.

You know, very few of their logistics personnel went to the battlefield, let alone made such a great contribution. It makes people feel happy just thinking about it now.

At this time, the guard at the door knocked on the door and came in, reporting loudly:

"Commander, Captain Kong is here, and he has brought a large transport team with him."

Minister Zhang was also very surprised to hear the news. In his impression, Kong Hao should be very busy in the arsenal, so how could he have the time to come to the headquarters.

And there was no prior telegram notification, which seemed to indicate that something big had happened, so he came here secretly.

When Minister Zhang thought of this, his heart was burning with excitement. Anything related to Kong Hao was a big deal, and it was made so mysterious, so it must be a huge deal.

Judging from Kong Hao’s previous performance, today’s events will have a far-reaching impact on our troops, which is why we deserve such caution.

"Minister Zhang, this time I sent you 1800 Mauser rifles, 600 Mauser pistols, 20 rounds of bullets, 25 grenades, 300 mortars, grenade launchers, and the corresponding ammunition."

"In addition, there are 1200 bicycles, 2000 helmets, and five tons of compressed biscuits."
