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

In the past few days, Kong Hao directly put 20,000 tons of high-quality copper ore and 50,000 tons of high-quality iron ore into the mine next to Zhao Jiayu. He also went back to the arsenal and put 30,000 tons of copper ore and 100,000 tons of iron ore into the previous mine.

Of course, there are also zinc mines, bauxite, nickel mines, etc., but these things are not very useful at present. Now they are all stored in Kong Hao's personal space. If there is a chance, he will find a way to bury them underground in China. As for coal mines, there is no need to worry about it, there are plenty of them in Jin Province.

In fact, there are still many rare minerals, such as those used to make the sun, but they are not needed for the time being. Kong Hao just bought the corresponding mineral land and will develop it when there is an opportunity in the future.

One cubic meter of iron ore weighs five tons, and Kong Hao's portable space specification is **1000 meters. You can imagine what this concept is.

Then something interesting happened. The iron ore at the arsenal had an iron content of only about 35%, which made it extremely difficult to smelt. The output was low, and the quality of the steel produced was not good either.

Ever since the super high-quality iron ore was discovered at Zhao Jiayu's side, Minister Zhang specially coordinated a special transport team to transport the high-quality iron ore from Zhao Jiayu's side and provide it specifically for use at the two steel mills. The inferior ore mined from the iron ore at the arsenal was given to the small-scale steel mill developed by itself, or simply to private workshops to smelt pig iron or steel with less demanding requirements.

In short, China is now extremely short of iron and steel. Smelting one more ton can increase its strength.

But the next day after Kong Hao returned, the workers at the iron mine and copper mine suddenly discovered that the quality of the newly dug iron ore and copper ore was incredibly good, especially the iron ore, which had an iron content of up to 60%, which was higher than that transported from Zhao Jiayu with great effort.

This made everyone very excited. After receiving the news, Factory Director Ren and Political Commissar Qin rushed to the scene immediately. After many tests, they found that there was a large area under the ground that was full of this high-quality iron ore.

This discovery immediately caused a sensation, and even Minister Zhang took time out of his busy schedule to come to the arsenal to find out the truth of this bizarre incident.

Because at that time, the exploration equipment for mineral resources reserves was very primitive, and Kong Hao had the system deployed over a large area. The good ores were placed at the top, and those poor-quality iron ores were placed at the bottom and would not be discovered in a short time.

Anyway, this situation has made people who do geological exploration depressed. From a scientific point of view, this kind of thing is simply impossible. Such two extreme types of iron ore cannot exist in the same mine.

But these iron ores were all dug out from underground by us, and we even sent people to dig several meters down, and the samples we obtained were all of the best quality ore.

Minister Zhang was overjoyed after hearing this, and immediately ordered the arsenal to make every effort to mine this top-quality ore. Some time ago, the Logistics Department spent a huge price to transport iron ore from Zhaojiayu. Now, the good stuff is growing right at their doorstep, so they just need to dig it with all their might.

As for the unreasonableness, who cares about that in this era?

After all, they had even experienced wild animals besieging large troops, so what was so strange about some good minerals growing out of the soil? It was not like all kinds of guns and ammunition, or long machine guns, tanks, and cannons would grow directly out of the soil. They were used to it and accepted it calmly.

Next, we will use the Arsenal and Zhaojiayu Industrial Zone as the two centers, and transport the high-quality ore we have mined to various locations. A small part will be sold to other actual forces, and most of it will be used to smelt steel or even directly smelt pig iron.

Although doing so will certainly waste this top-quality iron ore, we can't care about that now. It's because our ancestors blessed us and buried so many good things underground.

It seems like we have strayed off topic, so let’s get back to the point.

After Qian Yu discussed the plan with the coachman, they took action separately. He was responsible for setting up a liaison station in the city and taking care of all matters in the city.

Originally, because Quancheng is a port city, we only set up a contact point here, with a total of six people. We opened a grocery store as a cover. Our main task was to find out information about the transportation of various materials in the city.

After all, this is also a channel for material transportation that is open to the outside world, and there is still a lot of useful information, which will be summarized and handed over to superiors for the leaders' reference.

It was not so bad in the past. From time to time, foreign cargo ships would transport things to the country. Although the prices were extremely expensive, at least the supplies were transported and could really help our country.

But in recent months, because most of the coastal ports were occupied by the Japanese, those timid foreigners dared not transport supplies here, and Quangang gradually became less bustling than before.

Currently, the channels for imported materials from abroad are basically all in Yunnan Province. After all, the places connected to them by land are all the territories of the Niu Niu Country and the Gallic Chickens. The Japanese dare not run wild there, and the risks of material transportation are also controllable.

Fortunately, the troops stationed in Quangang were reorganized from the original Hunan Army. The 194th Division of the garrison was also a strong army. Although their weapons and equipment were relatively poor and they were seriously lacking in ammunition, the soldiers' fighting will was still relatively strong.

Qian Yu led more than twenty people into the city, to our own stronghold, and connected with the people here.

"Comrade Squid, welcome. We have received a notice from our superiors asking everyone at this contact point to obey your orders."

"Comrade Shuiyu, you have been lurking here for so long. It must be hard work. First, tell me about the situation in the city."

"Okay, Quangang City is currently under the charge of the 195th Regiment of the 1125th Division. The regiment commander is named Gu, and he is a brave soldier. Since he was stationed in Quangang, he has led everyone to strengthen the defenses everywhere, ready to welcome the attack of the Japanese at any time."

After hearing this, Qian Yu thought that this was a good idea. As long as Quangang City was still in the hands of our own army, it would mean that there would be a steady supply of supplies being transported in in the future.

He said in a serious tone: "Comrade Shuiyu, you need to help find a few quiet and secluded places as secret bases for the liaison station, and find a map of Quancheng. I will go and meet this Captain Gu."

"Also, there will be a large number of comrades coming here later. You will be responsible for receiving them. Here is 500 dollars. Go to the city and buy a few more properties as temporary places to stay."

"Comrade Squid, we don't need so much, because Quangang City is facing the attack of the Japanese at any time. Most of the rich people have fled to the mountain city, and the ones left are ordinary people. The real estate here is not valuable."

"In that case, let's open a few more rice shops and grocery stores. We will sell a large number of various supplies in the city in the future."
