Chapter 285 Carrying the Drill Press!

One tael of gold per kilogram, converted into oceans, is equal to fifty oceans per kilogram, and fifty thousand oceans per ton of tungsten powder!

As the head of the material and equipment procurement task for the oxygen top-blown converter project, Luo He, who has rich experience in weapons procurement, is undoubtedly in a complicated mood. He doesn't know what to say.

Luo He has never experienced this kind of feeling now, and it feels like that money is not money, but a series of numbers.

Not to mention copper and silicon steel. After all, the value of these things is obvious to all. Since they cannot produce them themselves, they can only buy them by pinching their noses.

However, the price of tungsten powder that I had come into contact with in the Soviet area actually reached the level of one or two gold per kilogram.

God, do you want to exaggerate?
Luo He took a deep breath, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and asked calmly, "How much tungsten powder did you buy, and how much did it cost in total?"

Tungsten powder, red copper, silicon steel, rubber, and chromium are the five industrial raw materials with the highest procurement priority, of which tungsten powder ranks first, and the minimum required weight is [-] kilograms, and there is no upper limit.

"Tungsten powder does not cost money. The Dayu underground organization in southern Jiangxi has accumulated 120 catties of tungsten powder, which is being secretly sent to northern Shaanxi by comrades from the southern department. The Dayu underground organization has planned to secretly mine tungsten sand, refine tungsten powder, and continuously supply Base." The young assistant responded.

"It turned out to be like this. It's good, and it saved a lot of money." Luo He heard the words and felt relieved. Not only did the most expensive tungsten powder cost nothing, but it would continue to be obtained in the future. This is good news.

A penny saved is a penny.

Luo He didn't know what the role of these industrial raw materials was, but he knew that he had to complete the task, and tried to save every penny, and must not waste extremely precious funds.

You know, according to the current price of tungsten powder, every ton of tungsten powder can buy a full forty original Czech light machine guns!

"Team leader, in terms of materials, all the materials have been purchased, and the types are complete." The young assistant said: "In terms of machinery and equipment, twenty types of machinery and equipment, such as high-power DC motors and diesel generators, have also been purchased and are being transported to the railway station. , and it is expected to be fully loaded within 24 hours."

"Okay, let the comrades work harder, there is not much time left for us, and the railway line may be shut down at any time." Luo He nodded and gave instructions.

The material and equipment transportation scheme of the oxygen top-blown converter project is divided into two, one main and one auxiliary.

The main plan plans to transport all the materials and machinery by land transport by train. On the bright side, all the materials and machinery will be loaded onto the trucks, first to Peiping, then to Shimen by the Pinghan Railway, then to the Zhengtai Railway to Linfen, and finally to cross the Yellow River. , enter the base.

This is the evolution of the Yu’s Seven Pagoda prototype unit transportation plan. It is simple, fast, time-saving and labor-saving. It can leave the Pingjin area in three days before and after, arrive in Linfen, and arrive in Yancheng in about ten days.

The sub-plan is of a backup nature. It will be activated after the failure of the first plan. It is planned to transport all machinery, equipment and industrial raw materials to the base by means of human and animal power and other means of transportation, like ants moving house. It may take up to a month and a half.

No way, because the Lugouqiao Incident has broken out and the time node is at the end of the window period of the full-scale war of resistance, the risk of the oxygen top-blown converter material equipment transportation plan is much higher than the former.

No one knows when the war will break out or when the railway lines will be shut down.

The shorter the entire transportation time, the better, and strive to transport all materials and equipment to the base as quickly as possible.

The young assistant nodded, ready to turn around and leave.

"By the way, write a procurement report to the superior, the material machine procurement task has been successfully completed, and the transportation is being organized."

"Yes!"

……

The red clouds are all over the sky, and the clouds are layered on fire, like a thousand boats sailing.

More than two days have passed without knowing it. After yesterday's negotiation, the two sides at Lugou Bridge ceased fire. The Jixing Cultural Corps evacuated Wanping City in accordance with the agreement between the two parties. The third brigade of the Japanese army retreated one after another.

The ceasefire between the two sides and the Japanese declaration of 'the incident will not be expanded and resolved on the spot' sent a strong signal to the outside world. For a time, people in the Pingjin area believed that the conflict would soon end and usher in peace.

Tsinghua Park, Mechanical Engineering Laboratory.

Professor Zhuang was wearing a gray overalls, holding a wrench with a serious face, staring at the screws in front of his eyes, and dismantling the powertrain of the prototype vertical deep hole drilling machine bit by bit.

The powertrain is composed of a 3KW DC main motor and a reduction gear set, which is connected to the spindle box to provide power for the main shaft of the drilling machine.

Several members of the organization, including Yu Hua and Yang Xiu, stayed around. Professor Zhuang took out the screw and gestured to everyone. Then, Yang Xiu and a tall man supported the powertrain weighing more than 60 kilograms with both hands. Carefully took it off.

The powertrain of the drilling machine was taken out, and the next thing was much easier. The headstock and gun drill were disassembled in turn, and finally the entire prototype vertical deep hole drilling machine was disassembled into multiple parts.

This is done for the simple purpose of ease of transportation and confidentiality.

After the disassembly of the prototype was completed, Yu Hua, Yang Xiu and others packed a lot of parts into the car, and it was [-] o'clock in the evening when the work was over.

Night fell silently.

"Comrade Yang, I won't send it to you. Remember not to collide violently during transportation, so as not to damage the parts, which will affect the accuracy of the drilling machine." Professor Zhuang Qianding stood at the door of the laboratory and reminded Yang Xiu.

The drill press is a princess who is most afraid of bumps.

If any part is damaged due to bumping, although it looks fine on the outside, once it is reassembled, the machining accuracy will not be able to reach the original level.

As the inventor of the vertical deep hole drilling machine, Zhuang Qianding did not want this kind of problem to occur with his own efforts. One is distressed, and the other is that it will take a lot of precious time to solve the problem.

When Yang Xiu heard this reminder, he wrote it down in his heart, and Zhuang nodded his head: "I remember, Professor Zhuang, we promise to transport the prototype to the base safely."

He understands the value and importance of this prototype. The base arsenal is now waiting for the rice to be cooked and the prototype is in place.

"Bon Voyage."

Seeing this, Professor Zhuang sent his blessings without saying much.

"Professor Zhuang, Mr. Yu Hua, goodbye." Yang Xiu said goodbye to Zhuang Qianding and Yu Hua, turned around and boarded the car.

"Om!" The sound of the gasoline engine working smoothly, the truck carrying the prototype vertical deep hole drilling machine smoothly left the laboratory and headed towards the west gate of the school.

This truck was called by Zhuang Qianding in name, and the reason was to transport laboratory waste and garbage. There are many similar situations, and it will not attract the attention of others.

"I hope they can arrive safely. How is the procurement of materials and machinery?" Professor Zhuang stared at the scene where the whole truck was gradually moving away, let out a breath, and turned to Yu Hua with concern.

"Uh... This is the report submitted by the material and machinery procurement team in the northern part of the country. It says that all materials and machines have been purchased, with a complete range of quality and quantity, including five tons of red copper and 1.8 tons of high-quality silicon steel sheets."

Hearing this, Yu Hua looked around and confirmed that there was no one else, then took out the procurement report provided by Yang Xiu just now, handed it to Zhuang Qianding, and responded: "The materials and machines are being transported to Tianjin Wei Railway Station, ready to be loaded, and the total cost is more than 40 yuan. Wan Dayang."

"It's really unprecedented efficiency, which makes my blood boil. If it's that group of bureaucrats, let alone the purchase, the list of materials and equipment may still be stuck in someone's office." Professor Zhuang took the purchase report and browsed it carefully. Can't help revealing a trace of surprise and surprise, and the words are full of admiration.

In less than two days, from the list of materials and machines to Liu Wei, to the current procurement report, not only have we obtained all kinds of industrial raw materials, but also all kinds of machinery and equipment, especially high-power DC motors of various specifications.

Such a high operating efficiency is truly unprecedented!

The higher the efficiency, the more time saved.

Yu Hua heard the words, nodded lightly, and said one thing. In terms of operational efficiency and coordination, the organization was ranked second, and no one dared to be ranked first.

This is the existence with the highest operational efficiency and coordination ability in China for thousands of years.

"Let's go first, have the family affairs been arranged?" Professor Zhuang received the purchase report, motioned Yu Hua to enter the laboratory, and then asked.

"I don't have time these days, I'm going to go back tomorrow." Yu Hua shook his head and responded.

I've been too busy these days, and I don't have time to go back to Ping'an. It's not just about Xu Rui and Xu Xue's recent situation. However, Xu Rui's talent and ability to escape thousands of miles, plus firearms and gunpowder skills, can't protect himself. question.

Zhuang Qianding said slowly: "I'm going to let Xie Qing and my daughter go to northern Shaanxi together. If one day I don't plan to go back to Tsinghua, they may threaten me with his wife and daughter."

Wife and daughter, this is Zhuang Qianding's weakness and his only weakness.

Zhuang Qianding couldn't make the decision to abandon his wife and daughter, and he was not a man with a heartless heart. If someone used his wife and daughter as a threat to let him leave northern Shaanxi, he would leave without hesitation.

In order to do great things and to save the country through industry in his youth, Zhuang Qianding had to solve his worries.

"I support your decision." Yu Hua was a little surprised when he heard the decision, fell silent for a while, and nodded.
