In the conference room, everyone briefly discussed some minor issues, and then ended the meeting. This meeting was undoubtedly a success. With the commitment given by Liu Wei on behalf of the organization, one of the most important and biggest problems has been solved.
, no more worries.
For others, the most important issue in developing the oxygen top-blown converter project is the technical issue, but in the eyes of Professor Zhuang and Yu Hua, the most important issue is whether the organization supports it.
Now, with Liu Wei's promise, everything is ready to start...
cooked rice.
Well, Yu Hua and Professor Zhuang hadn't eaten yet when they arrived.
In the Ke Lai Tea House, a sumptuous table of wine and food worth three yuan was set up. There were eight dishes in total, five meat, two vegetarian and one soup, including not only chicken, duck and fish, but also Mapo tofu and twice-cooked pork, which represented the Sichuan and Sichuan regions.
Although it is not as good as the celebration banquet of Yu's Seven Pagodas project, it is only one size lower.
At the square dining table, Liu Wei, who was sitting at the head seat, filled a glass of Fenjiu for himself, then stood up with the wine glass in his hands, facing the Zhuang Qian Ding next to him, and said seriously: "Professor Zhuang, this is a reception banquet, it is considered a good practice."
Let’s have a banquet and wish the oxygen top-blown converter project a successful completion. I’d like to propose a toast to you, as you wish.”
The words fell and he drank it all in one gulp.
The protagonist of this banquet is undoubtedly Zhuang Qianding, a professor at National Tsinghua University. Although Professor Zhuang Qianding has not joined the organization in name and is not considered a member, this does not affect Liu Wei's attention at all.
"Thank you, I believe that the oxygen top blowing project will be successful." Seeing this, Zhuang Qianding raised the wine glass with his right hand, and the height was lower than the wine glass in Liu Wei's hand.
Then, he took a rather generous sip.
When Fenjiu entered his mouth, a hot and scalding feeling spread from his throat to his whole body. Zhuang Qianding, who had an average alcohol capacity, resisted the discomfort.
"Classmate Yu Hua, this second glass of wine is for you...thank you." Liu Wei looked calm and filled another glass of wine to express his gratitude to Yu Hua.
Thanks.
I would like to thank Yu Hua for creating the oxygen top-blown converter project, and also thank Yu Hua for finding a heavyweight expert in the base area.
"This is what I should do, no need to say thank you." Yu Hua smiled, picked up the wine glass, and clinked glasses to drink in the same way Professor Zhuang responded.
The guest's wine glass should be slightly lower than the host's wine glass. This is etiquette.
After drinking the second glass of wine, Liu Wei was already a little tipsy. His ability to drink was average and he rarely drank alcohol due to work.
"Professor Zhuang, classmate Yu Hua, I am a layman in science and technology and cannot provide you with any help. However, outside of technology, I can barely play some role. I leave it to you for the oxygen top-blown converter project." Liu Wei stabilized his body.
, put down the wine glass, poured the third glass of Fenjiu again, stood in the host position, raised his hands, and said to Zhuang Qianding and Yu Hua.
As soon as he finished speaking, he put the wine glass to his mouth and drank it in one gulp.
Refreshing, decisive, and exuding a military temperament.
Zhuang Qianding and Yu Hua looked at each other, nodded, said nothing, and just poured wine silently.
Fill it up and drink it.
The meaning of this glass of wine is very simple. Please rest assured that we will do our best to complete the oxygen top-blown converter project.
This is a promise.
A promise that belongs to the top geniuses of human civilization.
…
At eight o'clock in the evening, the sound of artillery fire from the southwest still did not stop. The banquet, which contained the meaning of hospitality and practice, came to an end. After having a tooth ceremony, Yu Hua and Professor Zhuang took the Buick car they came from and returned to Tsinghua University to pick up the students.
Come down and set off for the base area to make preparations for site inspection.
At the same time, a compiled top-secret message was flown from Peking to northern Shaanxi, more than 700 kilometers away.
Late at night, in a cave dwelling, a kerosene lamp burned slowly, releasing a dim yellow light.
"How is the battle situation at Marco Polo Bridge now?"
"Tactically, it has a great advantage. The Jixingwen Regiment has repelled seven Japanese attacks. The two Type 92 infantry guns of the Japanese Third Battalion cannot defeat the Jixingwen Regiment's four 82mm mortar platoons. The Japanese suffered serious casualties.
, however, although the Japanese army did not have a firepower advantage, the Japanese soldiers showed excellent shooting ability and tactical literacy, and their overall combat effectiveness was very strong, which in turn caused a lot of casualties to the Ji Xing Wen Regiment, and the battle situation was in a stable state."
"The situation is not optimistic. According to all the deciphered intelligence information we have, first, the Japanese army deployed the Sixth Regiment somewhere in Tangshan as a mobile force to attack Tianjin. The specific location is unclear, but it is definitely close to the railway line. Second, in
The 18th Regiment and the 3rd Cavalry Regiment are deployed near Juyongguan in the northwest of Peiping, with a total strength of about 4,500. As a mobile force to attack Peiping, they can directly go south and approach the Marco Polo Bridge. Third, add 2,000 troops to the Fengtai area and approach the south.
Yuan Airport and Marco Polo Bridge, although the Jixing Cultural Regiment won the battle, they were strategically surrounded."
"Furthermore, this is the situation of the Japanese army's troop deployment before the red secret information was decrypted. It may be quite different from the actual situation. I judge that the Japanese army will temporarily negotiate for peace openly in order to paralyze the Song Dynasty and cause it to misjudge.
Secretly, a large number of troops were mobilized from outside the customs into the Pingjin area."
"I agree. The Japanese army in Peiping City is ready to move at present. The reason why they haven't lost their face yet is because of the strength and weapons and equipment of the 29th Army. Once the total strength of the Japanese army exceeds 80,000 and the balance is broken, that's when they will take action. Currently in Tianjin
The city is leaderless, and Zhang Zizhong, who went to Japan for inspection, is preparing to return home. I wonder if he will encounter any surprises."
"The Marco Polo Bridge is the external channel of the 29th Army, and Nanyuan is the southern gate of Peiping. Once these two places are lost, the 29th Army will lose its strategic support point. By then... Pingjin will be in danger. According to the speed of the Japanese army's troop increase,
The time left for the 29th Army now is only half a month. This is the best time to respond to the enemy. After half a month, the 29th Army will lose this opportunity."
"It's a pity that Song Ji didn't believe Nanjing, let alone us. We have already given him a warning."
The cave fell into silence.
"How about the explosives factory? I heard that the Military Industry Bureau, Shenmu Coal Mine and Shenmu Iron Mine are in desperate need of help. The Military Industry Bureau is short of propellant and the two mines are short of explosives."
"Comrades in the explosives factory are stepping up production. They have produced 500 kilograms of TNT explosives and sent them to Shenmu Coal Mine and Shenmu Iron Mine. I heard that they used the sulfuric acid and saltpeter brought back from Baiyangdian to prepare nitric acid for trial production of propellants."
"On the premise that comrades in the explosives factory should maintain safety and caution, we can increase production. Safety is the top priority."
"I'll go to the explosives factory to convey the instructions later. In addition, the Military Industry Bureau has two pieces of good news that I haven't had time to tell yet."
"Oh? There are actually two pieces of good news, tell me quickly to make me happy, haha..."
"First, the first small rotary coke oven designed by Yu Hua has been manufactured. The output can reach 6 tons per day. The coke problem has finally been solved."
"Yes, solving the coke problem means that we are one step closer to the goal of completing the steel production chain. What about the second one?"
"The second good news is that the fellows in the base area supported a batch of iron materials, allowing the Military Industry Bureau to use this batch of iron materials to trial-produce the first batch of grenades. After experiments, the explosive power and killing effect of the grenades filled with TNT explosives were greater than those of the previous black powder grenades.
More than five times.”
"Chen Qizi did a good job. The soldiers finally have weapons with excellent performance, excellent weapons produced by ourselves. However, we still have to get the blast furnace as soon as possible, otherwise the production of grenades will be severely restricted."
