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

In fact, this is mainly due to the fact that a large amount of materials are shipped back to the country from abroad, then processed into commodities through machinery and equipment, and then shipped abroad to be sold at high prices. The profits can be used to subsidize the Chinese people and let their own people live a good life.

Take the compressed biscuits, which are currently very popular abroad, as an example. Because the formula provided by Kong Hao has been developed after decades of research, the compressed biscuits produced in our industrial zone are not only nutritious but also taste good.

Not only do foreign civilians like it and often eat it as a staple food, but through special relationships, it is also supplied to the military in Niu Niu Country, and a large order has been obtained.

Everyone on earth knows that Niu Niu Country is a food desert. The food provided by their army would be despised even if it was used to feed pigs. How could they have seen such delicious compressed biscuits?

For every ton of compressed biscuits we sell, the money we earn is enough to buy ten tons of raw materials. Even if we add in the labor, machinery and energy consumption, the profit is at least five times.

If we can sell 50,000 tons a month, it means we will have an extra 250,000 tons of various raw materials. Our base can set aside half of it as reserves, and the remaining half can be put on the market to suppress or even lower food prices.

This is still the most basic food processing product, which mainly has a good formula but does not have much technological value.

The base's helmets, specially designed for foreign white people, have performance that is 20% higher than the helmets currently equipped in the Niu Niu country, and are 20% cheaper. With the advantages of high quality and low price, they quickly opened up the market for foreign military purchases.

The profit from producing a helmet is enough to buy 500 kilograms of grain from abroad. If one person eats two kilograms of staple food a day, then one helmet can feed a very large village for a day. This is the benefit of mastering industrialization.

Of course, helmets can only be considered ordinary military items, and sufficient profits are mainly obtained by quantity. The most valuable items are high-end goods such as telescopes and military radios. Any one of them can be exchanged for hundreds of tons of food.

There are also scalpels made of special steel, various medical supplies, sulfa tablets, etc. It is most cost-effective to exchange these things for food.

Now, a large number of cargo ships are transporting supplies back from various ports in the Kangaroo Country and Southeast Asia every day. Each time, the cargo ships have a carrying capacity ranging from 3,000 to 7,000 tons. They are used to support various domestic developments and slowly enhance China's national strength and foundation.

After everyone has rested, they start to work seriously. The refreshing feeling of having a full stomach is something that those who have never been hungry will never understand.

I saw that whether it was the people digging sand or the people carrying stones, they all worked with great vigor and energy, and they worked more attentively than when they were working at home.

In less than two hours, three small holes were filled. After each one was completed, a special technician would conduct an inspection. If it did not meet the requirements, it had to be redone.

This is just the first test. On the second day, a military truck will be used to tow a special device for several tests until there are no problems at all.

At noon, the food was extremely delicious, and there was no limit on white rice. However, everyone had learned their lesson this time and only ate until they were about 80% full.

After all, that embarrassing thing that happened this morning was enough once. If it happened a few more times, the people in Dayuan Village would not be able to face anyone when they go out in the future.

"Look at the workers in Dawan Village. They look like starving ghosts who have never had a full meal."

If this bad reputation were to spread, the damage would be huge. It was impossible for the people of Dayuan Village to explain to everyone they met that the food provided by the army was so delicious that people who had never eaten it would have no idea how it tasted.

After dinner, in order to catch up with the progress made in the morning, everyone consciously picked up their tools and started working. As long as someone takes the lead, everyone is willing to follow.

In this way, they worked until it was almost dark in the evening. Of course, Platoon Leader Huang also had someone prepare a sumptuous dinner to reward everyone, and the leftover food was also allowed to be taken back by the fellow villagers who helped with the cooking to feed the elderly and children at home.

The next morning, everyone arrived at the assembly point early and started another day of work.

However, everyone is already familiar with their respective work content and does not need the guidance of relevant technicians. The most important thing now is to reinforce a stone bridge about two kilometers away.

Compared with the bumpy potholes on the road, this stone bridge that has existed for hundreds of years is the most important thing. Once a tank drives over it and falls into the river with a "plop", it will be a huge problem.

If the tank gets stuck on the road, it can be pulled out by a truck, but if it falls under a bridge, everything will be over.

These are the only few tanks in our base. They concern the future of our army's armored forces, so no one dares to be careless.

Technician Wei, who was in charge of bridge measurements, said in a serious tone, "Sergeant Huang, after our detailed measurements, we've found that the bridge has serious problems and needs to be completely reinforced."

"I'll send a telegram to headquarters later. They need five tons of cement and one ton of steel bars shipped from a nearby warehouse. They must be delivered by tomorrow."

"Our goal this time is to be able to produce tanks weighing around 30 tons. Although we can only produce light tanks now, we may be able to produce medium-sized tanks in the near future. If we want to do it, we should do it in one step to avoid having to start over again in the future."

"Besides, bridges are much more important than roads, so they must be absolutely safe."

"Technician Wei, we don't understand technical matters. The battalion commander has given us orders. We will follow your instructions and cooperate unconditionally."

"That's great, we'll make arrangements right away."

Things are progressing steadily in Dayuan Village, and even in places further away, the same is true. We need to repair the roads and get them through.

However, our mechanized combined battalion was in great trouble at this time. The tanks had just driven less than five kilometers when one of them suddenly had a problem.

Kong Hao hurriedly got out of the car to check the situation.

"Mr. Wu, what's the situation?"

Engineer Wu checked it out, then said with an embarrassed look, "Chief Consultant, it's not clear yet. We need to check it in detail."

"Everything was fine on the training ground before, but once we hit the road we ran into this kind of breakdown. It was really frustrating."

After hearing this, Kong Hao quickly smiled and comforted him, "Mr. Wu, this is a very normal phenomenon. You don't have to blame yourself too much. To be honest, it's beyond my expectation that the problem occurred after driving this far."

"Even the Hans nation, which currently has the most powerful tanks, encountered difficulties when they first started to form their armored forces, and their tanks often had problems."
