It was the conversation with Dong Shuheng that opened Zheng Huigong's eyes, otherwise he would not necessarily agree with his son to learn technology!
In the eyes of ordinary people, technical people are still in the category of craftsmen.
When it comes to craftsmen, everyone has some discrimination in their hearts. For thousands of years, craftsmen have been classified as low-level.
However, since the establishment of Huaihai Navy, this inherent concept has been gradually broken.
In China, those who engage in technology not only have high salaries but also have a higher social status.
Dong Shuheng linked the technical level of craftsmen to the administrative level of officials. Although it can only be regarded as a non-leadership position, it is still an official level. In this way, technical people can also hold their heads high in front of officials.
In addition, Dong Shuheng also asked the personnel department to promote professional technical personnel in some positions.
His request to the human resources department is that "laymen cannot be allowed to command experienced people." In some professional technical departments, the chief officer must understand technology.
In fact, Dong Shuheng's arrangement also has another meaning, that is, when technical problems arise.
The chief officer cannot use his own lack of skills as an excuse and pass the responsibility to the people below him.
The principal-officer-responsibility system is prevalent in Chinese government offices.
Dong Shuheng told his officials that the bigger the official, the bigger the responsibility. Those who do not have this responsibility should go down and become clerks as soon as possible.
…
After finishing his trip to Haizhou, Dong Shuheng was very satisfied with the construction of Xuzhou City. After becoming a large municipality and integrating the resources of northern Jiangsu, Xuzhou's future will be even more brilliant.
In later generations, Xuzhou gradually declined after the depletion of mineral resources. On the one hand, it had something to do with its failure to keep up with the transformation of its enterprises, and at the same time, it was still subject to geographical restrictions.
Today's Greater Xuzhou integrates the resources of northern Jiangsu, not only the minerals of Xuzhou, but also the excellent port of Haizhou, and even the large land and population resources of northern Yancheng and Suqian.
A manufacturing center has gradually formed here with Xuzhou as the center. And it is not limited to manufacturing. The development of various light industries related to people's livelihood has not been left behind.
After all, Haizhou has an excellent port, where the import of raw materials and the export of goods are extremely convenient.
Haiju Port is not very far from the Kingdom of Korea and Japan, and it still has a strong location advantage.
After leaving Haizhou, Dong Shuheng continued to take the train south along the coast of the Yellow Sea. Originally, the central and southern areas of Yancheng area had been reclassified as Dongtai Prefecture, but the prefecture was transferred to Dafeng New City.
This also makes this emerging city more vibrant.
The city of Dafeng was entirely built by Huai Haijun on a wasteland.
No trace of the ancient city can be seen.
The city has no city walls. The center of the city is a large turntable-shaped square. In the middle of the square is a sculpture. The sculpture is simply a large stove for boiling salt.
There are large murals carved on the stone wall at the base of the sculpture. The first one reflects Dong Shuheng's recruitment of regiment training in Yanding, and the second one is the scene of the Huaihai regiment training at that time.
The entire mural probably reflects what happened when the Renaissance Army was formed.
There is also a cedar planted by Dong Shuheng when he laid the foundation of the city.
Nine roads extend in all directions along this large turntable, and the entire city takes on the shape of a Bagua disk.
The outer streets are circular in circles. If you take a hot air balloon into the air, you will definitely be impressed by the appearance of this city.
The circle near the carousel is the government office buildings and some large shops, as well as public service facilities such as banks and post offices. The buildings in this circle are basically buildings, and the buildings are relatively tall.
Next there are residential areas, ranging from small villas with single-family homes to townhouse apartments.
The most luxurious school in the city is located among the residential areas. The design of the school is modeled after that of later generations. The three-story teaching buildings are well-proportioned. In the middle of the spacious playground is a tall flagpole with a bright red golden dragon flag fluttering in the wind.
Dong Shuheng took a tour of the city under the leadership of the director of Dongtai Prefecture. This city may be the city closest to later generations in China. There are specially planted green facilities on the streets of the city, and there are complete drainage facilities under the streets.
This city is also the city with the highest concentration of naturalized foreigners. Most of them work in industrial areas and live in Dafeng City.
Therefore, you can see churches of different styles in the suburbs, including Catholic, Christian, and even Jewish churches.
After walking around the city, Dong Shuheng said goodbye to the officials of Dongtai Prefecture.
He himself took his entourage to the industrial park in Dafeng.
The area of the industrial zone has not expanded in the past six months. In the past six months, many enterprises originally owned by Huaihai Company have become state-owned enterprises.
It can be said that this is the birthplace of Huaxia State-owned Enterprises. A large number of personnel were transferred from here. Then the remaining people formed the new management. Immediately afterwards, a large number of new people were added.
Therefore, the entire industrial zone has not expanded, but it has not shrunk.
Since China's current production capacity is extremely scarce, the government will not spend its own money on martial arts. What will be transferred out is only the talents trained by the factory, not the factory's production capacity.
Dong Shuheng followed the old route, bypassing the cotton mills, textile mills, food factories, quilt factories and other light industrial factories in the periphery, and went directly to the military factory.
Geng Jia, the old director of the arsenal, has been transferred to Luanzhou, Xinjing, to establish the Northern Military Factory. The current director is Ji Yanzhong, who is also an old technician of the arsenal.
Without exception, the directors of the arsenal are all from technical backgrounds. They do not need to consider sales, as long as they continue to develop new military technologies and continuously improve production efficiency.
China's current military industry is still in a state of shortage. Not to mention new weapons, even the most basic Type 54 rifle has not yet been popularized.
China's three major arsenals are the Northern Arsenal in Luanzhou, the Lao Huaihai Arsenal in Dafeng, and the Huai·Ke Group Jiangning Arsenal in Jiangning.
Jiangning's arsenal mainly produces artillery, mainly giant large-caliber fortress guns, which is Krupp's technical strength. Now Dong Shuheng is rebuilding the sea frontier and building a peripheral Pacific defense island chain. So many ports need to be deployed
Fortress artillery. Therefore, the Jiangning factory's construction schedule is fully scheduled.
The task of supplying equipment to the army still mainly falls on the old Dafeng factory.
Fortunately, the production of these equipment has matured. Now the workers at the old Dafeng factory are working in two shifts.
In future generations, people would be complaining endlessly if they worked three shifts. Now, with two shifts, workers are still very enthusiastic about their work.
This made Dong Shuheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the current team is really easy to lead. These workers have all experienced hardship, and they know that their current life is hard-won.
When the next generation grows up in a stable environment, will they be able to endure such hardships?
If we continue to do this, someone will have to go on strike.
Dong Shuheng went to see the rifle production workshop. Each workshop has four rifle production lines, but this is just an assembly line. The butt, barrel, barrel, bolt and other components are all produced by specialized workshops and then shipped to
Assembly and debugging in the assembly workshop.
Dong Shuheng changed into work clothes and quietly walked in to see the workers' labor scene.
Everyone worked very hard, and he didn't even have the heart to disturb those workers who were working hard.
Because a lot of new people have come to the factory recently, many old masters will bring several new people to work with them.
This model of bringing the old with the new allows newcomers to get started quickly. In addition, factories generally choose senior masters with better performance to lead new employees, so that good working methods can be passed on.
Workers trained in the same technical school have different working efficiency after taking up the job. It is not only due to their enthusiasm for work, but also because some workers can summarize some good experiences while working, or develop some good habits themselves.
.
Even if they explain these methods, they may not be able to explain them clearly. They can only let them guide their disciples step by step and copy these skills through words and deeds.
Therefore, in many factory technical positions, a good master craftsman is very popular. Many people will compete to be his apprentice, and some people even ask for a relationship with a good master to give him a apprenticeship gift.
Next is the chariot workshop. In recent wars, chariots equipped with rotating machine guns have stolen the show on the battlefield.
Especially on the grassland battlefields in the north and west, this cavalry is a powerful weapon that combines flexible transfer capabilities with super firepower.
On the flat grassland, the enemy's cavalry simply could not break through its fire blockade.
If the performance is good, the demand will be great, and the arsenal will naturally open more production lines.
Dong Shuheng did not go to the remaining mortar workshop and artillery workshop.
He went to the ammunition factory in the distance again. The location of the ammunition factory was relatively remote, located by the river, with no human habitation around it. This was the characteristic of the ammunition factory.
The ammunition factory has now started producing smokeless propellants and yellow explosives (tnt), so there is a separate area that looks like a chemical factory, with tall reaction tanks.
Dong Shuheng unexpectedly met Mr. Schoenby here. It turned out that the ammunition factory invited him to come over to inspect the new production line.
It is actually very difficult to transfer what Schönbai developed in the laboratory to industrial production.
Fortunately, the Type 54 rifle is not yet popular, and the army still uses a large amount of black powder. Otherwise, the output of ammunition factories will definitely not be able to keep up.
Schönbai's pursuit of chemical research is above all else. Fortunately, he is not an ethical scientist, otherwise he would feel disgusted if he knew that his research results had become a weapon for killing people!
After interacting with this Sche Enbai for a long time, Dong Shuheng discovered that this old man was a scientific madman.
He is very paranoid about his research activities. He is the kind of person who will pursue a research direction to the end.
Dong Shuheng now understands why he went bankrupt because of his research.
However, now his family has all moved to China. His home is in Dafeng.
The old man is now conducting research at public expense, so he has no shortage of money, and his enthusiasm for research is much higher than before.
The fields covered are also broader than before.
After entering the field of organic chemistry, he seemed to have opened the door to another world.
"Wu, from now on you can just ask my assistant for simple things like this." When he saw Schoenby, the old man was complaining to Director Wu.
Schoenby felt that there was no need to ask him to solve this technical problem.
But the ammunition factory did not dare to be careless when it came to gunpowder.
These high explosives are relatively unfamiliar to everyone, and they are surprisingly powerful. Nothing can happen in the ammunition factory, otherwise it will be a big deal.
So when I encounter a problem, I naturally want to ask Schönbei, the inventor of explosives, to take care of it.
"Mr. Schoenby, long time no see." Dong Shuheng came out at the right time to smooth things over.
"Hey, Mr. President, it's really been a long time since we last seen each other." Scheinbai still respected Dong Shuheng and put away his temper.
Dong Shuheng was his big benefactor, and Dong Shuheng also gave him a lot of help in research.
In Schoenby's opinion, although Dong Shuheng had very little chemistry knowledge, he was very talented in chemistry.
Every time I talk to Dong Shuheng about chemistry, he benefits a lot.
He seems to be able to see clearly the future direction of chemistry.
Since getting to know Dong Shuheng, Schoenbach has avoided many detours in his chemical research.
This is one of the reasons why Schönbai is willing to stay in China to conduct research.
Now, while teaching at Huaihai Academy, he is doing chemical experiments with peace of mind in his "No. 3" laboratory. His family's work and life are well arranged in China, so that he no longer has to worry about anything.
In Europe, no one would give him better treatment than here.
And the assistants in the laboratory, they all respect me very much and work hard without complaint when doing experiments.
Schoenby believed that he could not find better assistants than these people.
In the past, Huaxia had no system at all in the field of chemistry. Now with the addition of Schönbai, the discipline of chemistry has finally gained a firm foothold in Huaxia.
The two chatted for a while, and Dong Shuheng ended his inspection of the ammunition factory and went to the "No. 3" laboratory with Schoenby.
It seems that this laboratory will be expanded again in the future.
The level of confidentiality here is very high. As smokeless gunpowder is used on the battlefield, the news that China has a new type of gunpowder will soon spread.
Therefore, confidentiality work must be strengthened from now on.
What Schönbai didn't know was that he and his family were key surveillance personnel of the Intelligence Ministry.
Of course, the enemy does not necessarily want to steal China's technology, and Schönba is not alone in conducting smokeless gunpowder research in Europe.
As long as these countries in Europe realize the feasibility of smokeless gunpowder and then increase support for these people, they will soon be able to develop smokeless gunpowder.
Schoenberg's recent research has focused on petroleum and its isolates.
He had perfected the process of distilling petroleum.
In Shandong, close to China's current major oil extraction areas, China is building its first large-scale oil refinery, the refining equipment and production processes of which were designed with the help of Schoenbach.
A good scientist must not only be able to verify his own results in the laboratory. He must also learn to translate these experimental results into industrial production.
Only in this way can one be considered a successful scientist.
How much value can an invention generate if it just stays in the laboratory?
This time when we went to Schoenby's laboratory, the old guy showed Dong Shuheng a new type of burning agent.
The main raw material of this burning agent is gasoline, but it was inspired by previous research on smokeless gunpowder.
He added a lot of things to the gasoline, turning the gasoline into a solidified gel-like substance.
Originally, he studied this thing because he wanted to increase the stability of gasoline. Because gasoline is more volatile than diesel.
Recently, he studied organic chemistry and synthesized benzene. He found that benzene can be used to synthesize many things.
Using benzene as raw material for synthesis experiments, Schönbai synthesized polystyrene, a thermoplastic.
By mixing benzene and polystyrene with gasoline, he added a bit of natural rubber to make it more viscous.
This resulted in a combustible agent that can be attached to objects and burn, and can generate temperatures of thousands of degrees when burned.
Schoenbai thinks this kind of thing can be used when clearing land in the rainforest. In a humid environment, traditional burning of land is difficult to achieve the desired results.
When Scheinbai told Dong Shuheng about this thing, he had no idea. He didn't know how effective this burning agent could be.
Whenever you achieve a result, you always have to take credit from your boss.
As an old scientific researcher, Schoenby still knows that if he wants to obtain more research resources, he must come up with some good things from time to time to claim credit from his boss.
After Dong Shuheng heard Scheinbai's introduction, he was so happy that he wanted to kiss Scheinbai, but he couldn't show it on his face. He couldn't tell Scheinbai that this was another military killer.
ps: The ingredients of gasoline bombs include 33% gasoline, 21% benzene, and 46% polystyrene.
