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

After finishing the things here, he put all kinds of supplies into the space, then returned to the base, and then prepared to test the strength of the synthetic forces over a long distance.

First, he dispatched a guard company from the industrial zone garrison regiment as an accompanying guard force, and also a reconnaissance platoon, which was specifically responsible for intelligence reconnaissance along the way.

This operation is of great importance. It concerns the various tactical uses of armored forces in the future. Many details need to be considered in advance. Otherwise, if problems arise, it will be a huge hassle to find a way to transfer people from the industrial zone.

In this way, after another week of preparation, all personnel were ready in place. At the same time, they also received a notice from the military district that according to Kong Hao's requirements, the entire army had been confirmed to be able to set off.

"Old Li, there's no need to send me off. We're just doing a routine test this time. We'll be back in ten days or half a month. There's no need to be so sad."

"Xiao Kong, I'm not sad, I'm excited. Once the armored units pass the test and are mass-produced, our independent column will also be equipped with this type of armored unit. We don't need too many, even a company will be enough."

"During the last Wenxian siege, if we had such an armored unit to fight in the street battles, it would definitely have reduced the casualties among the soldiers. Also, when chasing the enemy in the wild, if we had such a powerful force at our disposal, the ordinary Japanese wouldn't be able to escape from our grasp."

"By the way, according to your experience, how long will it take for this type of armored unit to become combat-ready?"

In fact, Kong Hao had no idea about this question. It involved many issues, such as personnel skills training, logistical support and weapon performance, which could not be explained clearly in just a few words.

He could only smile bitterly and respond, "Old Li, I don't know the details of this matter either. We can only take things one step at a time. However, armored unit training is a complicated matter. Forget about your independent column in the short term."

"Okay, we're about to set off. Wait for our good news."

After saying this, he got into the cab of a military truck and ordered the troops to move out quickly through the walkie-talkie.

This walkie-talkie is also the latest communication equipment developed in the industrial zone. It is a technology exchanged through the system. It is a little more advanced than the one in Eagle Country. The communication distance is about two kilometers, which is very suitable for company-level combat.

Moreover, the walkie-talkie we produce weighs only about three kilograms, so it is not too tiring to hold it in your hand to make calls. However, it is currently in the sample testing stage. Only two hundred units have been produced and handed over to special forces and intelligence personnel for testing. After the performance is stable, it will be handed over to the main force for use.

Although the engineers at the base were very satisfied with the performance of this small instant communication device, they all believed that it was a groundbreaking product that could enable companies and platoons to communicate at any time, and even the battalion commander could directly command the infantry platoon in battle.

At present, not only our side, but even the Japanese army basically uses telephone lines to communicate between squadrons and squads, and then communicates through landlines.

There are many advantages to doing this, but once the telephone lines are cut by artillery shells, it means that the command center and the front-line troops have lost contact, which can easily lead to the loss of a battle.

Of course, Kong Hao is very dissatisfied with the performance of the walkie-talkies we have developed so far. He has seen a lot in the future, and what he wants most is a portable communication device like a walkie-talkie.

The communication distance between the two devices can reach five kilometers, the weight is only about one kilogram, and the battery can last for more than four hours. This is the ideal state.

It's a pity that with the strength of our industrial zone, we cannot produce this kind of walkie-talkie even if we have the technology. The best we can produce is this bulky walkie-talkie. However, this has already amazed many people.

Next, the convoy slowly headed towards its destination, but the process is hard to describe.

About 40 kilometers away from the base industrial zone, there is a beautiful small mountain village called Dayuan Village. Next to the village is a main road, which is the main road leading to the nearby county town.

Normally, many villagers rely on this main road for their livelihood, and many young people go out to work in transportation.

Those with quick minds set up their own transport team, renting a dozen or twenty freight tricycles from specialized shops in the base to purchase local specialties from various villages, and then transporting them to nearby towns or distant county towns to sell them, making a profit from the difference.

As for most young people, as long as you have enough strength, you can join the tricycle riding group. As long as you work hard and steadily, you will always have a stable income.

As a large number of low-priced industrial products from the base were introduced into the market, the cost of food, clothing, housing and transportation for the people was greatly reduced. For example, the most important farm tools for farmers, such as hoes, shovels, pickaxes, sickles and axes, were also reduced.

In short, the prices of all items related to steel products have been greatly reduced in the base, mainly because a large amount of high-quality iron ore has been discovered underground in the industrial zone. The reserves are extremely rich, often hundreds of millions of tons, and they can never be used up no matter how much they are used.

Not only are the regular steel mills in the base area working hard to produce steel, but even other base areas that have the conditions will set up blast furnaces to produce steel using traditional methods. With the production capacity of various steels increased, the price of steel products will definitely be much lower.

The price of one sickle in the past can probably buy four now. The extra money can be used to buy some clothes for the family.

At the same time, the textile industry in the base area also achieved great development. Large amounts of wool and cotton shipped back from abroad were turned into cheap cloth on the market after being woven by industrial machines, which also brought great benefits to the people.

Many of the places to live are brick and tile houses, which are much better than the mud houses commonly used before. People travel by tricycle or bicycle, which is also very convenient.

When the cost of food, clothing, housing and transportation for ordinary people is greatly reduced, they will think about buying things that they dared not buy before, such as canned food, sugar, and even watches, bicycles, etc.

Especially for the common people in the county town, there are more ways to make money and their requirements for life have become higher. They also start to buy some fruits from the countryside and mountain products to make their difficult lives a little more comfortable.

This has also led to the booming development of the related freight industry. The city is full of tricycles pulling goods whizzing by, injecting vitality into this ancient country.

At this time, a group of special guests came to Dayuan Village.

"Old Wu, this is Platoon Leader Huang from the army. He's come to Dawan Village specifically to handle some matters. You guys need to cooperate."

When Village Chief Wu saw that the mayor personally accompanied them and that they were from the army, he quickly said enthusiastically:

"Mayor, please rest assured that our village will fully cooperate."

"Platoon Leader Huang, if you need anything, just tell me directly. We will provide you with the personnel and supplies you need, and ensure that the troops' needs are met."
