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

For example, a thermal power plant can be built in a secluded place and camouflaged accordingly, and then the generated electricity can be connected to the production workshops of the arsenal with electric wires.

"General Consultant, since we have previous experience in hydropower plants, the establishment of our thermal power plant was relatively smooth."

"It is now online for power generation. If it is running at full capacity, it can generate 5,000 kWh of electricity a day, or about 150,000 kWh a month."

In fact, this kind of thermal power station can only be regarded as a micro-civilian thermal power plant at the township level in later generations. Our ordinary people can use 100 to 200 degrees of electricity per month, and 150,000 degrees is just enough for the electricity consumption of a large village.

"But no matter how small a mosquito leg is, it is still meat. Given the conditions of our army, even a thousand more kilowatt-hours of electricity would be good."

This kind of micro thermal power station is also a good supplement for the arsenal's electricity utilization.

"Lao Fang, I will send a professional team to conduct reverse mapping of the equipment related to the thermal power plant, and strive to develop our own thermal power equipment. After all, if we want to develop our industry, we must be able to produce the corresponding equipment ourselves. Buying everything from abroad will not last long."

"Chief Consultant, that's great. Please rest assured that we will definitely cooperate with the technicians."

In fact, Kong Hao has invested the most energy in imitation research and development. It will definitely take a lot of time to imitate equipment with relatively high technical content such as thermal power plants, but this is also a path we must take.

Although blindly purchasing can improve the strength of our arsenal in the short term, it is just a castle on the beach that cannot withstand any wind or waves.

If it can be imitated, although it will be difficult in the early stage and cost more money, once it is successful, the benefits will be innumerable.

At least we can follow suit and build a large number of thermal power plants in the core areas of other bases to bring our base into the era of electrification.

According to the previous plan, Kong Hao planned to distribute three of the five thermal power plants in a triangular shape around the arsenal.

One set is handed over to the headquarters for arrangement, and the other set is handed over to professionals for imitation, which can be said to take all aspects into consideration.

In the next half hour, Kong Hao visited all the equipment in the entire thermal power plant and pointed out many of its shortcomings.

These opinions will be recorded by dedicated personnel and formed into special system documents during the operation process to ensure the safe operation of all thermal power plants.

Originally, Kong Hao, the chief consultant of the arsenal, did not need to do this kind of thing personally, but apart from him, no one else in the entire Eighth Route Army had contact with it.

Sometimes, Kong Hao’s casual words can help the employees of the thermal power plant avoid many detours.

After visiting all of this, Kong Hao hurriedly took the others to other places. Time was very tight now, and his daily schedule was very full. Basically, after visiting one factory, he would go to another.

Next was the canning factory, which was something Kong Hao had already arranged.

With the promotion of large-scale breeding technology by the Eighth Route Army, a lot of meat can be provided, but the trouble that follows is how to store these things in preparation for wartime needs.

In the past, they were made into cured chicken, duck and pork, and eggs were basically made into egg powder. However, this kind of thing is fine in small quantities. If it is produced in large quantities, it will consume a lot of wood and a lot of time, which is not cost-effective.

In order to cover up the existence of the arsenal, Kong Hao also specifically issued an order prohibiting the cutting of the surrounding forests and using honeycomb coal for daily cooking.

Fortunately, a large coal mine was discovered five kilometers away from the arsenal, so there was basically no shortage of fuel.

As the scale of breeding in the arsenal in the forest grew larger and larger, large numbers of poultry and fat pigs were slaughtered every day, so a canning production line was quickly installed and set up, followed by mass production of military canned food as material reserves.

"Chief Advisor, our cannery currently has several varieties of products, namely braised pork and spicy chicken nuggets. These two items are the most abundant at the moment. These are large pieces of meat, and the internal organs and the like are basically provided as snacks for the workers and technicians at the arsenal."

"The current canning factory's processing capacity is three tons a day. One kilogram of food can make up about four cans, so it can produce about 12,000 cans a day."

"It's just that we are limited by the source of meat and the tinplate material. At present, this is the only output we can produce. If there is enough raw material, we can increase the production capacity to more than five tons per day."

After hearing these data, Kong Hao also understood the current bottleneck. Now he could only exchange a batch of emergency supplies through the system:

"Go to the warehouse tomorrow to pick up 20 tons of tinplate coils. I brought them back from outside. They will be enough for a while."

"We will build a large steel plant later, and then we will not be short of this basic raw material."

Ever since Kong Hao exchanged the cannery, he has encountered this situation and had made relevant preparations in advance. Anyway, tinplate is relatively cheap, so it would be nice to exchange some and put them in the warehouse.

However, he emphasized: "In addition to using tinplate to make can shells, we can also adapt to local conditions and use some daily items to can cans."

"For example, we can make the large jars that ordinary people use to pickle pickles into small ones. We can put three to five kilograms of meat in each jar, and the shelf life does not need to be long, just more than half a year."

"Also, there is a big river nearby. I will send people to catch more fish and can them. Fish is also a good source of protein. Eating more fish will be very beneficial to the soldiers' health."

"You must add more salt, more vegetable oil, and more soy sauce, and make the taste better, so that the soldiers fighting on the front line can eat better."

After hearing this, the person in charge of the cannery nodded in agreement. What Kong Hao said was something they had not thought of, but it could indeed solve today's dilemma.

At this time, some canned spicy chicken nuggets were produced, and a technician took out a can and walked over:

"Chief Counsel, this is freshly canned food. Try it and see how it tastes."

Kong Hao was hungry at this time, so he quickly opened the pull ring of the can and found a lot of chili peppers in it. The chicken was also in large pieces and greasy, and the bones were specially removed. After all, the can capacity was limited, and it was better not to eat the bones as they had little nutrition.

He picked up a piece of chicken with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and tasted it carefully. To be honest, it tasted very good.

It's a bit salty, a bit spicy, and it contains a lot of oil, so it's easy to get sick of it if you eat too much.

Kong Hao smiled and said, "If you cook a pot of wild vegetables and add two cans, it will definitely taste delicious."

"When I first joined the independent regiment, I ate sweet potatoes every day. If I had a can of food like this to eat with the sweet potatoes, it would be like celebrating the New Year."

"This can is really good, but I recommend using vegetable oils such as canola oil, soybean oil and peanut oil."

"That kind of lard and chicken fat can be refined and packaged individually, which can be stored better than canned food."

"In addition, the farm produces a large number of eggs every day. It takes too long to make egg powder. We can make the eggs into cans, which can also be transported over long distances. When fighting the enemy, our soldiers can eat something nutritious so that they can have the strength to fight the devils."

"By the way, after these cans are produced, they need to be sent to the Arsenal Logistics Department every day and transported to the Logistics Headquarters along with other supplies."

The head of the cannery quickly agreed and made these requirements part of his daily work.

After Kong Hao finished his work here, it was almost afternoon. He returned to the arsenal office and attended an important meeting.
