Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

In the busy work, the time came to November 18th.

There are a total of four major things to be done in the Yellow River back to the border area, and two of them have been barely solved.

The Production and Construction Corps is responsible for the farming affairs. After providing crop seeds and sufficient amounts of fertilizers, he can be a hands-off commander.

The Air Force is almost ready. Under the leadership of six combat heroes, the selected comrades are like sponges, absorbing the theoretical knowledge of aviation like sponges.

As long as Lao Ma sends back the graduates from the border aviation school, plus the hundred training aircraft provided by the next decision, the basic framework of the Air Force Division will be completed.

The construction progress of the laboratory is also good. Director Li was either at the airport or on the laboratory construction site during this period.

According to the current construction schedule, we can move in by the middle of next month.

The last thing is to develop the Yanchang Oilfield. The scientific research option "Fuel Storage" was unlocked a week ago.

The first batch of senior technician-level oil workers will arrive in the border area by the end of this month. Production of oil storage units and transmission pipelines has also begun at private factories within the system.

It's just that the existing conditions alone are far from reaching the level of developing oil fields.

Yanchang Petroleum has a long history, having built a factory as early as 1905. Although oil wells and refineries are all available, they are all very traditional and old-fashioned equipment.

Most of them are products from the beginning of the century and do not feel the modernity of industrialization at all.

Despite these primitive conditions, a lot of equipment was lost during the war.

Fortunately, the director of the factory and the director of the engineering department were very capable and recovered a large amount of equipment and equipment the year before last. Otherwise, Yanchang Oilfield might not be able to resume production now.

The current total production capacity of the oil field is 1.6 tons of crude oil per day. Considering that the oil wells have been used for many years, the Military Industry Bureau sent a comrade who graduated from the Department of Geology of Tsinghua University to explore. I heard that the results were pretty good.

Now there are two scientific research slots freed up, which can just deal with the problems in the oil field. Try to dig a few more new wells and replace all the equipment before 1945.

"The prototype of industry: Oil is the blood of industry and an important industrial energy source. In order to make our industrial base not lag too far behind the world's powers, it is time to develop oil fields.

Time required for study: 70 days

Effect: Two new PhDs in petroleum engineering have been added to the border area.

Obtain a set of drilling rig equipment, oil pumping equipment, pigging equipment, heating equipment, and obtain production drawings of the corresponding equipment.

Tip: The above equipment is the most advanced model during World War II. "

After reading the detailed introduction of the equipment, Huang He could not help but smile from ear to ear.

Taking drilling rig equipment alone, this includes derrick, crown block, winch, traveling block, hook turntable, power faucet, eight-piece drilling rig set, power machine, linkage machine, solid phase control equipment and well control equipment.

The power engines include diesel engines, electric motors and gas turbines, which directly solve all problems once and for all, which is very consistent with the system's habit of being all-inclusive.

The oil pumping equipment is naturally a kowtow machine, a machine that pressurizes oil to flow out of the well.

The system provides a beam-type pumping unit, which has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture, and is easy to use. The most important thing is that it can operate all-weather in the oil field for a long time and is reliable in use.

The pigging equipment is actually a pig, which is used to deal with the condensation, wax and scale inside the transportation pipeline, so as to reduce the oil transmission back pressure and wear resistance.

Because most of our crude oil has three high types, namely high pouring point, high wax content and high viscosity.

Therefore, it is necessary to use pipeline heating and transportation technology to prevent transportation difficulties of the transported oil due to temperature drop.

The heating furnace provided by the system is the same model as that used in Baku Oilfield, which directly allows Yanchang Oilfield to experience the benefits of the future honeymoon period in advance.

Some time ago, the Guozhou Oil Mine Preparatory Office started to develop Yumen. Although an oil field was found near Laojun Temple, it was unable to start construction because there was no drilling rig on hand.

Faced with this problem, Baldhead thought of the Yanchang Oilfield in the border area, so he contacted comrades from the Eighth Office.

After negotiation, the bosses, considering that the fight against Japan was a national matter, agreed to dismantle two drilling rigs to support Yumen, and also helped the other party with a full set of equipment.

Now there is a new set of equipment. Perhaps the old one will not go and the new one will not come.

With the problems of extraction and transportation solved, it’s time to refine the oil.

"Fuel Refining Type 1: Advances in chemical cracking have made it more efficient to refine light fuel oils from crude oil.

Time required for study: 70 days

Effect: Obtain the complete set of equipment and design drawings of the most advanced oil refinery during World War II. "

The current refining equipment used in Yanchang Petroleum is very primitive. Workers use two large pots that are fastened together.

When refining oil, a large pot underneath is heated, and the heat generated causes the oil to evaporate. Punch a hole in the upper cauldron to collect any condensation.

As for whether kerosene or gasoline is produced, it all depends on experienced workers smelling it through their noses. This unsophisticated method not only endangers the health of workers, but is also very inefficient.

With the equipment provided by the system, the production capacity of Yanchang Oilfield can be greatly increased.

If good news happens, it must be shared with the director. Huang He simply packed up the materials on hand and went straight to Comrade Zeng's office.

After entering the door, what comes into view is the strong man's hairline and the pile of mechanical drawings on the table.

Hearing someone approaching, the director raised his head. He saw that Mr. Huang actually showed a hint of unbearable expression, so he jumped up from the stool in an exaggerated manner.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with you? Did you come up with something new?!"

"Can you be a decent person? Look at our Military Industry Bureau. No matter the comrades you introduced or myself, we are all working non-stop."

"If this continues, I will be bald. After the war, you have to introduce me to a wife!"

After hearing this, even the thick-skinned Huang He felt a little embarrassed. But after seeing the teasing in the director's eyes, he immediately understood that the other party was teasing him.

After all, almost all the comrades in the border area are determined. They are so happy that they can promote their own construction.

"Isn't there a comrade from National Tsinghua University over there in Yanchang? I thought it might be a bit slow for one person to explore, so I found two doctors to help."

"I also built a set of mining equipment and refining equipment, and we will quickly increase the annual output. We have planes now, and there will be more places that need oil next year, so let's prepare in advance."

"We can't compare with the Baku oil field, but we must at least reach half of their level."

Obviously, the goal set by Huang He scared the director. He took off his glasses with some trembling, frowned, and said helplessly:

"You are acting like a hands-off boss again, right? Every time you give me a set of equipment, then leave the design drawings and run away. If it's half the level of the Baku oil field, the output will be enough for the Japanese to use for two years."

"When the Japanese cross the Yellow River first, and then cross your Yellow River, let's see what you will do!"

At this point, the director took out a telegram from the drawer and handed it to Huang He. Then he waved his hand and said helplessly:

"This is a telegram from the New Second Regiment of the 386th Brigade. It should be your good fellow who wants to see you. Okay, let's go quickly. My head hurts now."

"I'm studying civil engineering! At most, I can make a radio! Can you give me some professional work!"

"Okay! That's what you said!"

"Ah?"

————

After returning to his office, Huang He opened the telegram.

Seeing a son is like seeing a person. The first line of words is full of Li Yunlong's style. The deputy chief of staff didn't help him revise it at all.

"Old Huang:

I miss you so much after not seeing you for so many days, hehe!

I've been eating well and sleeping well recently, and everything has gone well in training. I wonder when you can send the airborne equipment to Shanxi Province?

Brother Li Yunlong"

For some reason, when Huang He saw the two words "hehe", he immediately drew the other party's mean expression in his mind.

There was no need for Li Yunlong to urge him about the equipment. Today, there happened to be three research slots vacant, and he had already allocated them to the paratroopers.

"Paratrooper Type 1: After introducing airborne troops into the army, we can force a breakthrough and deploy key point troops in areas that were previously inaccessible, which will bring new tactical opportunities.

Research time required: 70 days

Effect: Military factories within the system can produce special weapons for paratroopers:

Signal gun, map rangefinder, foldable engineer shovel, paratrooper pliers, paratrooper knife, water bottle, paratrooper boots, combat knee pads, paratrooper goggles, paratrooper helmet, ammunition vest, MAS-36CR39, parachute"

Paratroopers are born to be surrounded because they need to go directly behind enemy lines and launch surprise attacks on enemy strategic locations.

These dangerous actions put them in greater danger than other arms, and the system has prepared a lot of equipment to improve their survivability as much as possible.

The signal gun is a necessary equipment for every paratrooper soldier. It is also equipped with multiple types of signal flares, which can be used when completing instructions, contacting friendly forces, or calling for support.

An excellent paratrooper, in addition to the most basic combat, must also be proficient in geographical knowledge, and at this time, maps and map rangefinders are needed.

The importance of the engineer shovel is self-evident. The foldable function makes it more suitable for parachute operations.

For paratroopers who lack heavy weapons, digging trenches and building simple fortifications can often save their lives.

No matter which country the paratroopers are from, they will infiltrate the enemy's territory even if they are just doing it.

Reconnaissance, lurking or sabotage are the daily work of soldiers. Sometimes they need to cross the enemy's barbed wire defense or cut off the enemy's communication lines, telephone lines, etc.

At this time, the paratrooper pliers are the best choice. Its blade is very sharp and can cut off any barbed wire.

When not in use, just fold it up and put it in a specific storage bag, which is very convenient.

The paratrooper knife is mainly used to cut off the parachute to prevent the unlucky guy from being hung on the tree and unable to come down. For survival reasons, the system also added a small compass to the handle, which is quite similar to the PLA equipment of later generations.

Considering that paratroopers often fight in the field, the system also provides special lunch boxes and kettles.

The appearance of the kettle is oval-shaped and can hold 2 to 3 liters of water. The outer layer is made of cowhide with a suede surface, which can keep warm.

The main body is made of aluminum and can be fixed on the soldier's main belt with a belt.

The lunch box is also made of aluminum, with two compartments and a detachable empty box inside.

You can use it to eat noodles, drink soup, or cook food directly on the camping rack. There is also a special place for chopsticks and spoons in the lid.

The paratrooper boots are made of high-quality cowhide, and the soles are made of specially treated rubber material, which is quieter when walking, wear-resistant and non-slip.

Considering that it is winter now, the system has also designed a warm lining in the boots, which is very considerate.

Next is the knee pad. Since the legs of paratroopers usually land first during parachuting, the chance of leg injury is very high.

This knee pad is made of sponge and rubber, wrapped in textile cloth. It is soft to wear and has a certain elasticity, which can effectively protect the knees of comrades.

The last protective gear is goggles and helmets.

The former has elastic rings on both sides, which can fit the head size of each soldier.

The two lenses are made of glass and slightly bent inward. When shooting, the lenses will not affect the accuracy.

The helmet is a slight improvement on the 35-year Adrian helmet. It uses steel with high nickel and manganese content, the thickness is increased to 1.3 mm, and the weight reaches 1.2 kg.

The bulletproof performance of the helmet design is to withstand shrapnel flying at a speed of 300 meters per second.

In order to prevent being blown away by the strong airflow in the sky during parachuting. The new paratrooper helmet is equipped with a more complex and sturdy suspension system, so that the helmet can be firmly fixed on the comrades' heads.

When combatants are airborne, they often need more guns and ammunition.

Although the length and weight of the weapon will cause non-combat casualties among comrades. But it is better than carrying only a pistol and a small amount of bullets, and waiting for the weapon box after landing.

The man-gun separation tactic was absolutely undesirable during World War II, and a suitable carrying device was needed at this time.

The system provides an ammunition vest made of leather and canvas.

The front and back of the vest carry submachine gun magazines horizontally, 5 on the front chest, 7 on the back, and a grenade bag on the waist, which can store 7 grenades.

Although the ammunition carrying capacity is not bad, it is a pity that there is no bulletproof function.

Finally, the weapons carried by paratroopers, it is not difficult to guess that they are mainly our old friends MAS-36 and MAS-38.

The MAS-38 submachine gun was originally designed as a paratrooper weapon. The extremely light weight and short length are matched with good firepower, which is basically enough for the battlefield of the Republic of China where the intensity is not so high.

The MAS-36 has a special paratrooper model, code-named CR39.

In order to make it easier for soldiers to carry, the designer made a foldable aluminum hollow buttstock, which made the weight much lighter than the infantry version.

When not in combat, the buttstock can be folded by simply flipping the paddle on the gun body. The gun sling is also a lighter fabric, which barely reduces the weight by a few dozen grams.

Combined with the Brandt Mle 50mm mortar and light machine gun that have just been unlocked in the research slot, the airborne troops are not even weak in firepower.
