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

Chapter 589 There are top-quality minerals in the ground. This should be a gift from nature.

After explaining everything, Kong Hao collected a large amount of supplies into the space, including 32 prey of various kinds. Mainly because the price Kong Hao offered was very high, many local people here participated in the hunting to obtain extra income.

Coupled with the fact that a large number of family members of company employees who are good at hunting have also joined in, the number will definitely increase. Moreover, as a large number of prey have been captured nearby, the number of hares in this area has become a bit scarce, and they have to go to other towns. This has also led to hunting becoming a trend.

At the same time, some large farmers who are deeply affected by the infestation of wild rabbits will specifically invite these hunters to their places to catch various prey, and also reward the number of wild rabbits caught, which attracts more people to join.

Kong Hao did not ask for money. Instead, he built a large number of canning factories in various places and exchanged all the subsidies for beef, mutton, or the animal's offal and small pieces of meat that no one wanted.

For the foreigners here, what they like most are big pieces of beef and mutton, good meat like beef and mutton chops and beef and mutton legs. As for things like cow heads and cow feet, sheep heads and sheep feet, they are basically discarded directly.

We can get this kind of meat for free in large quantities. As long as it is carefully cooked and processed at high temperature to be canned, it will be a delicacy for the Chinese people who rarely eat meat.

Most importantly, this canned food contains a lot of vegetable oil and beans, so it can be shipped back and sold at a low price.

In fact, when you really think about it, it's not profitable to ship this kind of things back. Even each cargo ship will be subsidized with some money, but someone has to do it. The Chinese people are suffering so much at this time, and any help is appreciated.

For example, if we ship back 7,000 tons of canned food, and we calculate that one can weigh one pound, then one ton means 2,000 cans, so 7,000 tons means 14 million cans. With a population of 400 million in China, if we only need to ship ten cargo ships back a month, every family in China can have a can of meat. This would be a great improvement.

Especially this kind of canned meat contains a lot of vegetable oil and various meats. It won’t be a big problem for a family to eat it for a month if they are frugal.

Even if it is that kind of wild vegetable porridge, as long as you put one or two pieces of meat in it and add a few drops of oil, it will be a rare delicacy for poor people.

The existence of these canneries was extremely popular locally. Ordinary people could earn extra income, farmers could sell their crops and livestock in a timely manner, and even dispose of some unwanted items. Local towns could also obtain a large amount of tax revenue and jobs, and the problem of annoying wild rabbits was solved. It can be said that everyone benefited from it.

This is equivalent to gaining the support of everyone. Even the local mayors or mayors attach great importance to it, even to the point of trying to please them, and give them a lot of subsidies. As long as you build a factory on their territory, they will give you whatever you want.

At the same time, about 200,000 tons of iron ore, 50,000 tons of copper ore, 10,000 tons of bauxite, 7,000 tons of nickel ore and 5,000 tons of silver ore were also transported back this time. These are the accumulations in recent days and were also transported back today.

The bauxite here is of very good quality, with an Al40O58 content of about % to %. The ore has relatively few impurities and is very easy to refine and process.

Aluminum is a metal that will play a very important role in the future military industry.

It is also the core material for current aircraft manufacturing. If we want to build a modern air force in the future, we cannot avoid aluminum. It is best to start planning now.

In addition, nickel ore and silver ore are also good things. We can just throw them next to the base and wait for our prospectors to find them accidentally. This is the most convenient thing.

As for why there are so many kinds of high-quality ores in Zhao Jiayu and the arsenal, and the reserves are so large, Kong Hao could only spread his hands and say that he didn't know either.

After all, this kind of ore is dug out from the ground. There is no other explanation except that it is a gift from nature. It is impossible to suspect that someone deliberately buried the ore in the ground. This is more ridiculous than weapons growing out of the ground.

As for the large amount of prey, in addition to one third being sent to major bases through the system according to the previous ratio, our troops in the three northeastern provinces also found a way to send more than 5,000 hares over.

In such icy and snowy conditions, if there were suddenly 5,000 more rabbits around and tens of thousands of kilograms of meat, I think the comrades over there would be happy for a long time.

Of the remaining 220,000 prey, 50,000 will be released into the Shaanxi Army's territory, 50,000 will be released into the Sichuan Province's territory, and the rest will be released in batches near the troops that are fighting the Japanese. In short, as long as they are troops fighting the Japanese, they should receive a reward.

Even for the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, Kong Hao asked the system to release three thousand rabbits, fifty wild boars and one hundred wild goats. After all, they were so familiar with each other, so he had to give them some preferential treatment.

Then he went to the vicinity of the mine, put all the ore underground, and went to sleep.

But he fell asleep, but many places in China were in an uproar. In addition to our base, a large number of wild animals appeared near the troops in many other places.

After such a long period of hunting frenzy, a saying has spread among all the people: "To see whether a military unit is a force to fight the Japanese, you can tell whether there are a large number of wild animals in their jurisdiction, without looking at anything else."

Tonight, a lot of rabbits appeared near the garrisons of many Sichuan Army troops, which made everyone very happy. The commanders in charge of the teams even did not sleep and asked everyone to get up and catch these good things given by God.

This is a big, stupid and fat rabbit, weighing more than ten kilograms. People in Sichuan Province love to eat rabbits the most. Spicy rabbit meat, red oil rabbit cubes, fresh pot rabbit, etc. Each dish is extremely delicious.

Before, many Sichuan Army troops had heard that a large number of rabbits had appeared in other people's territories, and they were so envious that their eyes turned red. Especially some troops that had fought bloody battles with the Japanese, they had always been indignant in their hearts.

We all fought against the Japanese, so why do others have it but they don't? This is unfair. Isn't it a bit too biased for the ancestors of the Chinese to do this?

If there were no troops from other places, there would always be some every day. This would also give other troops who were really serious about fighting the Japanese a hope that as long as they waited too long, it would always be their turn.

So today Kong Hao released a large number of prey through the system, allowing many troops to receive this huge surprise. Not only the local troops, but even most of the central army that really wanted to fight the Japanese were treated equally.

Generally, more than 200 rabbits, two wild boars and five goats are placed near an infantry regiment, which can produce more than 4,000 kilograms of meat, enough for everyone in the regiment to eat for several meals.

The most important thing is that according to the rules, a cycle usually lasts for seven days. As long as the first prey appears, there will be a second and third time.

And the most important thing is that once prey appears, it also gives your own troops a label, and they are naturally superior to those spineless troops who are good at escaping and afraid of the enemy like a tiger.
