To be honest, Cao Xiaoqiang's luck was really good. After Li Mubai called Yuan Kedi, even if the matter was officially aggravated, he was directly exposed to the top. Considering that this matter was related to the acceptance and handover of the military purchases of over 10 billion yuan after the New Year, the top authorities directly issued instructions. As an exporter of the Ministry of National Defense, Comrade Cao Xiaoqiang's personal safety is extremely important. The time for attacks against criminals when he returned to his hometown to visit relatives should be thoroughly investigated! Cao Xiaoqiang's identity as a victim in this incident was named.

Comrades from the Nandu Military Region learned about the situation in the bureau and made records to confirm that this was indeed a self-defense after being attacked.

Just kidding! These two thieves dare to launch violent attacks on gunmen who hold special mission certificates from the Ministry of National Defense. They will not lose money if they die ten thousand times

So he picked up Xiaoqiang directly and took him home in a car. Now Xiaoqiang's family finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After Xiaoqiang comforted his parents, he returned to his room and sat blankly on the chair and looked at the quartz clock hanging on the wall. His parents were still as frugal as ever, and he was reluctant to change a wall clock. This clock was still the one hanging on the wall of his room in Xiaoqiang's old house. There was a trace of rust on the edge of 7 o'clock. Xiaoqiang lit a cigarette and thought about it stupidly.

He just couldn't understand why old classmates suddenly became psychologically unbalanced and turned against each other.

As for him, if his friend had a promising future, he would bless her and be proud of him. He even mentioned himself, a promising classmate in front of others from time to time, and be proud of him. He really couldn't understand why Zheng Xiaolong wanted to call someone to beat him up.

"Is this the so-called evil thought? Or is it that I have violated his interests?" Cao Xiaoqiang shook his head and decided not to think so much. After calling the friends around him to tell him that he was fine, he was ready to leave his hometown and return to Beijing early.

This Spring Festival in 2011 made Xiaoqiang feel very disappointed.

1950, there is no such ups and downs as Cao Xiaoqiang. On the contrary, it is so busy that he is so busy.

In the Northeast, construction projects of super-large steel joint-stock enterprises falling from the sky are still under continuous construction. The builders of New China are constantly exploring construction difficulties in the severe cold weather, which is really a headache. More than 700 steel industry technicians collected from all over the country have been found to work on this "high-difficulty" project.

Engineer Wang Qian was an old steel company. Before liberation, he worked in the Northeast, from the Showa Steel Plant in Japan to the liberation. In his memory, the predecessor of Angang, Angang, was the most glorious period when Japan's Showa Ironmaking was in 1943. At that time, Angang produced 1.3 million tons of iron and 840,000 tons of steel annually, and had a processing capacity of 490,000 tons of steel per year.

Wang Qian and others were deeply shocked by the Japanese steel mill, and were deeply inferior and sad.

But today, even though he is knowledgeable, he has never encountered such a five-unit blast furnace with a capacity of 1,000 cubic meters. The appearance of this guy in front of him is really beyond his imagination. In his memory, the largest blast furnace used by Japan in Angang was only 700 cubic meters. Angang's four-unit blast furnace was ranked among the top in Asia at that time. However, after the Soviets came, they dismantled all the equipment with a total weight of more than 70,000 tons in the factory, and paralyzed Angang.

At present, the five-unit combined blast furnace introduced by New China with a single capacity of 1,000 cubic meters and a total capacity of 5,000 cubic meters really shocked him. He was no longer afraid or inferior. Wang Qian and others swore that even if this blast furnace can operate successfully, he would sacrifice even if he bleeds and sacrifices.

If Xiaoqiang was at the construction site, he would definitely tell these cute people with a smile that 1,000 cubic meters of single body is nothing. The world's largest blast furnace, known as the king of blast furnaces, is a 5,860 cubic blast furnace that was completed in China in 2009. The single furnace's daily iron and water production reaches 13,000 tons. The energy consumption ratio is outrageous.

"Advanced! So beautiful! Beautiful!" Wang Qian looked at the blast furnace that was being continuously constructed and erected. Every time he was shocked, he couldn't think of any other languages ​​and vocabulary. The huge volume and refined pipeline layout all showed the muscle charm of the steel industry. Wang Qian heard his colleagues discuss that this was the latest blast furnace introduced by the state secret from the Soviet Union, and it was the most advanced in the world. I heard that the Soviet Union is currently building a blast furnace of 1,500 cubic meters, but this kind of integrated furnace with a single 1,000 cubic five-connection of 5,000 cubic meters, and the semi-automated control and operation of this single 1,000 cubic meters has never seen it before. It seems that the strength of the Soviet Union's steel industry is really much higher than that of Japan. This is at least 20 or 30 years ahead of Japan. The automation level of this set of equipment should be comparable to the best American equipment in the world today, right?

In Wang Qian's view, as an iron man, being able to participate in such a large project in this life and completing such a great project for his motherland is a lifelong glory. After the completion of this blast furnace, it marks the leapfrog development of China's steel technology and reaches the advanced level of the world's powers at present.

"It's great because of the difficulty, so it's great!" Wang Qian thought of the words of the chairman who was sent by the army in the study class held by Angang in his spare time every day.

Not only did he think so, but all the comrades around him had the same idea: Yes, the task is very difficult, after all, things that have never been done before are the most difficult, but does not this just prove the greatness of this work?

"We must build the first blast furnace of New China." This is the call of the central government, and it is also the decisive battle horn burst out from the deepest flesh and blood of all Ansteel people.

In Xiaoqiang's opinion, the popular combined blast furnaces that can be seen everywhere in the domestic medium-sized steel mills in the 21st century are really loose and tight, but he did not expect that this thing is a bit difficult for the Chinese steel industry in 1950. Although there are installation instructions, including guidance on installation CDs and drawings, as well as advanced construction equipment, for the steel people in 1950, they still have to cross the river by feeling the stones. Every construction action requires engineers to make repeated arguments and conduct the installation bare-check.

In history, the first super-large steel joint enterprise of the New China was not established in Wuhan until 1958. When it was completed, the total capacity of the blast furnace was only 1,386 cubic meters, and it was not expanded to 2,200 cubic meters in 1978. Ansteel introduced and built a series of single blast furnaces from the Soviet Union in 1951, the largest of which was the No. 8 furnace, a single 1,500 cubic blast furnace.

Therefore, facing this super joint blast furnace with a total volume of 5,000 cubic meters, Wang Qian, like all technicians, never on Sundays, either at the construction site or drilling in technical drawings, and the meals are delivered to the construction site by the cafeteria. Everyone quickly chewed steamed buns and pickles and returned to the front line. The backbone members of the group only slept for 4 hours a day and fought there.

During the Kuomintang's rule, China's steel industry was a joke. Back then, the Kuomintang calculated the Japanese steel production in Northeast China under its own name and advocated the golden decade. In fact, from 1938 to 1945, the steel production in the Kuomintang-controlled area was only 45,000 tons. From 1946 to 1948, the Kuomintang relied on American guns, American cannons, foreign steel and iron to fight the civil war.

The builders of New China have firm determination to build this super-large joint steel manufacturing enterprise that they think is definitely an engineering miracle.

Chen Hong, director of the Heavy Industry Department of the Central Financial Committee, and Xu Chi, director of the Planning Department of the Heavy Industry Department, have both come. They have personally created the first small blast furnace in the Yan'an period. Xu Chi is a top student in the German Department and mechanical engineering department of Tongji University. This time, as the chief engineer of the Central General, he is fully responsible for the construction of this steel super project.

In the design room of Angang, more than a dozen large wooden tables were lined up, filled with various drawings and materials. The engineers were busy burying their heads. They repeatedly checked and verified each drawing and studied every construction step in the data.

On the wall of the design room, there are practical engineering calculation tables and brush letters written in simple red characters. They are slogans that cheer everyone up, "Don't be afraid of hardships! Eliminate all difficulties! Fight for victory!"

Chen Hong raised his head from the pile of drawings and looked at his old friend Xu Chi, who was sitting not far away, and saw that his eye sockets had already sunk and he lost weight. Only two blood-covered eyes were full of energy and wide. Xu Chi's wide dark blue old cotton cloth Zhongshan suit was wrapped in an equally wide cotton jacket, but it gave people the feeling that as long as you try hard from it, you can pull out the thin bamboo pole-like Xu Chi from the pile of clothes.

Chen Hong has been scared by Xu Chi's "ghostly look" in the past few days, and said worriedly again:

"Old Xu, please be careful to rest. Don't drag yourself down before the completion."

"It's okay, I know my own body and can hold on. Besides, as long as the 5,000 cubic blast furnace can be raised, we can follow the example and use the refined steel to create more such advanced and magnificent blast furnaces in the newly established equipment factory of Angang. As long as there is steel, China will be prosperous and strong, and will no longer be bullied by the great powers. Do you think? We steel people are looking forward to this day."

Chen Hong pushed a pair of yellow phenolic plastic-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose, shut up and stopped talking. He carefully took a small wrinkled yellow paper bag from his pocket, walked to the stove and picked up the boiling water hanging, brewed a cup of brown sugar water and melted it, placed it next to Xu Chi's table, and went back to bury his head in the pile of drawings.

The brown sugar was given to Chen Hong's lover who had just given birth to a child, but his lover couldn't bear to drink it. He secretly stuffed it in his pocket to nourish his body before leaving the door. However, he couldn't bear to drink it. Every time he took it out, he rushed to the comrades who were heartless in the design room who left his wife and children for work overtime all night.

The heavy snow outside the window continued to roar, and I don’t know how many days it would take to fall. In Angang’s technical department, the sound of paper rolls and the rustling of pencils had a sonorous and clear sound of gold and stone, overshadowing the sound of wind and snow.

The People's Liberation Army in 1950 was also fighting in the severe cold. The people who farmed had a winter break, but the troops did not. After changing clothes, several troops were practicing tactical strategies under the high-intensity firepower brought by the new equipment. The sound of guns and cannons kept ringing on the training ground in the vast loess. According to the plan, these troops who changed clothes would be put into the Liberation Battle of Zhoushan Islands and Hainan Island as the main offensive force.

Artillery is a technical group of troops. The Type 54 122mm is okay. In order to play with the Type 54 152mm sent back by Xiaoqiang, the artillery troops are training every day. The single shot of the 152mm howitzer is worth nearly 40 kilograms. After one training, the gunners can be exhausted and sweated in winter.

However, what fascinated the commanders and fighters the most was the 59-1 130mm cannon. The maximum artillery distance of 27 kilometers is the important weapon of the army. Han Xianchu, the commander of the 40th Army, has been fascinated by this 130mm cannon recently and has come to ask about artillery training almost every day. For artillerymen, the only thing that confuses everyone on the shell is the numbers such as 76 and 79. But I heard that this is a production batch number and has no practical significance...

Han Xianchu's commander was nicknamed "Tornado Commander". He was commanding the battle of Weiyuan Fort, raiding 150 miles, or 75 kilometers. At dawn, the second day, he rushed to the designated position to launch an attack, and since then he was named "Tornado Commander". The Fourth Field Command had issued an order, and the "Tornado Commander" was responsible for taking Hainan.

Look, "Tornado Commander" found a wooden box that fired shells and stood on it with majestic appearance, one head taller than the big guy, so that everyone could see his face clearly.

"Comrades, the new cannon makes it difficult to carry it!"

"interesting!"

Han Xianchu grinned with satisfaction, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and said loudly:

"I just knew you were satisfied, but I was not satisfied with the shelling results of everyone. What's this? Why is it only half the hit? You know that the shells are expensive and can buy a flower goat with one shot. Don't you comrades who have hit it wrong? "

Seeing some artillery soldiers lowered their heads, some even grinned at that time, afraid they would shed tears.

Seeing this, Han Xianchu shouted:

"Our 40th Army Artillery First Regiment is good. This achievement is not bad compared to other troops, but we are not comparing with other troops. We are comparing with ourselves today and ourselves yesterday. The shells are very expensive, but the lives of soldiers are more expensive. The more accurate we fight, the more imperialism and their lackeys die, the safer our soldiers will be!

So, comrades must train more seriously, practice the cannon aiming technology to achieve home, and strive to get more accurate as you fight. Then, liberate Hainan, and I will help you get the best of you!"

Crazy, the soldiers standing in the limelight burst into warm applause when they heard the commander say this.

Han Xianchu became even more excited. He pulled away the wrinkled military cotton jacket on his body, stood in the cold wind with the single clothes inside, and waved his hand and smiled: "Everyone is all good. You keep practicing. I was so pestered by your regiment commander that I can't help but say a few words. Actually, I'm happy to see you shooting artillery. At that time, if I had such an old cannon in my hand, I could be a corps commander with one division..."

Just like that, Commander Han stood in the cold wind and kept cheering the comrades. It took him more than half an hour later to leave in the seized American Willis Jeep.

"I think we need to hold a big competition to mobilize everyone's sense of competition and speed up the digestion and absorption of new equipment." Commander Han sat in a jeep and said to political commissar Luo Shunchu.

Political Commissar Luo nodded and said solemnly: "The central government has already given the requirements for the main forces. We have repeatedly pointed out that the current priority is to adapt to the tactical arrangements under the new equipment. We must indeed hurry up step by step and must not fall behind other troops. I heard that a batch of new equipment will be needed later, and all the miscellaneous rifles currently used by the troops must be replaced."

Commander Han raised his eyebrows and said, "That's great! I see that this Spring Festival, our brothers will be in the company! Mobilize all cadres and soldiers to understand the existing new equipment and tactics, and make the training plan detailed and practical. Welcoming the arrival of a new batch of equipment."
Chapter completed!
