"What? Are you not tired when standing? Let's sit down, comrades."

"This time I came to Huangyadong Arsenal because your Director Xu went to the headquarters in person and insisted that I come and take a walk. On the way, I also understand the relevant situation. You should tell me about the specific problems with the rocket launcher." After taking the lead in sitting down, the deputy chief of staff began to say directly.

Liu Gen was slightly stunned. He was a little surprised. The deputy chief of staff actually knew him. Liu Gen, who had just sat down, stood up again and acted calmly.

"Chief of staff, factory director, foreman, there are many problems with rocket launchers. If these problems are not solved, the arsenal will not be able to produce rocket launchers on a large scale." Liu Gen stood up and said.

Before Foreman Qi and others could ask, Liu Gen took out his notes, recording the problems he found.

"Look at this note, here are some of the issues I recorded about rocket launchers."

"There are three important factors that restrict the large-scale production of rocket launchers in the arsenal. I will briefly talk about it. After everyone understands it, we will discuss solutions."

"First, if you want to produce a large scale, you need to solve the problem of rocket propellant. When I make a rocket, I choose to use nitroscopy as the propellant. If I make it myself, it can also ensure that the error of the combustion speed of the nitroscopy is controlled within a certain period of time. But if workers produce it on a large scale, it cannot ensure that the combustion speed of the nitroscopy is consistent."

"When we were conducting the test firing, one of the rockets had a slight deviation due to the quality of the nitroscope. This was because I made it myself. If it were others, the deviation would probably be even more serious."

Foreman Qi and others frowned. They did not know much about nitrocellulose cotton, but they also knew the specific function of nitrocellulose cotton. They could all understand what Liu Gen meant. Without Liu Gen, the quality of producing nitrocellulose cotton could not be guaranteed. As for Liu Gen to keep making nitrocellulose cotton, it was naturally impossible.

The deputy chief of staff picked up the pen and carefully recorded the problem Liu Gen said. On the way, he learned from Director Xu how powerful the rocket launcher is. Even if the deputy chief of staff had not seen the power of the rocket launcher with his own eyes, he believed that Director Xu would not lie in such matters, otherwise Director Xu would not pay so much attention.

"Secondly, the steel quality of our arsenal is still not enough. According to the gun barrels we produce now, it may only be used less than twenty times at most. If there are more, it is easy to cause danger. Every volley of rocket launchers is burning money. Even if I compress the cost of rocket launchers to the lowest level when designing rocket launchers, large-scale volleys are still something we can't bear."

"Third, the gunpowder required to make rockets is not a small amount. According to our gunpowder output, it is impossible to meet the large-scale rocket launcher manufacturing at all."

"Of course, there are many other small questions. I have carefully recorded them in my notes, so you can take a look."

...

After Liu Gen told all the questions, the office became very quiet. Foreman Qi and others had no idea of ​​having a conversation. Their eyes were on the notebook in Director Xu's hands, wanting to see how many problems Liu Gen recorded in the notebook.

The notebook is constantly conveyed in the hands of Foreman Qi and others. Whenever someone has seen Liu Gen's notebook, his face will become ugly and he will become more silent. Liu Gen doesn't write much in the notebook, but after Foreman Qi and others have read the notebook, they will clearly understand how many problems there are in the arsenal that need improvement.

The arsenal has been developing all the time. Foreman Qi and the others also know that the arsenal is a bit backward, but they are somewhat proud to be able to develop the arsenal to this level. But now, Foreman Qi and the others find that their efforts are not enough, and the conditions of the arsenal are still too poor, and there are too many problems that need to be solved.

"Comrades, don't be so frustrated. The foundation of our arsenal is weak. It is already very good to be able to develop this level in two years."

"The conditions for our arsenal are very poor now, but compared with the arsenal when it was just starting, the conditions are much better. Comrades, difficulties are only temporary, and a bright future will surely be achieved with everyone's joint efforts. By then, we will have more arsenals and an extremely complete industrial system."

"We have no way to produce rocket launchers on a large scale, but this does not mean that we will not have such capabilities in the future. When the conditions are sufficient, we can produce as many rocket launchers as we want." The deputy chief of staff stood up and spoke to encourage everyone present.

The eyes of the Deputy Chief of Staff were filled with hope. The Eighth Route Army had experienced too many hardships in the development process. But looking back at the hardships of the newly established Eighth Route Army and the current situation of the Eighth Route Army units, there were too many improvements. If it could be done from scratch, the arsenal would definitely develop to a better development. The Deputy Chief of Staff believed that the heads of the arsenal were present.

Liu Gen and others looked at the Deputy Chief of Staff with some enthusiasm. They knew that the Deputy Chief of Staff was right. The hardship would only be temporary. As long as the arsenal can continue to develop, it will inevitably become better and better.

"I still remember when the Huangyadong Arsenal was first established, the conditions of the arsenal were very poor, only old workers like Qi Gong, and there were only a dozen machine tools. But now? Our Huangyadong Arsenal has changed a lot, with dozens of machine tools, and the workers have doubled several times, and there are many more top students."

"Old workers, you old men are in charge of the arsenal, and the bosses are very relieved. Young people with excellent young people like their roots are the hope of the future of the arsenal. The bosses have great hope for these young people, and they also hope that one day the arsenal can become better with the hard work of more young people."

“…”

The Deputy Chief of Staff said a lot, and wiped out the depression of not being able to produce on a large scale due to the many problems of rocket launchers. With the encouragement of the Deputy Chief of Staff, Liu Gen and others in the office were once again full of fighting spirit. After the end, the Deputy Chief of Staff stayed Liu Gen and talked a lot with Liu Gen. This time, Liu Gen was a big reason for the Deputy Chief of Staff to come to the arsenal.

The bosses at the headquarters clearly know Liu Gen and how many achievements Liu Gen has made. Compared with other young people, Liu Gen is undoubtedly extremely special. It can be said that the bosses attach great importance to Liu Gen, and they believe that the Eighth Route Army will become different due to Liu Gen's existence.

When Liu Gen learned from the deputy chief of staff that the boss attached importance to him, he was very surprised. He knew that he would receive certain attention from the bosses, but he did not expect that he would receive such great attention. Liu Gen was a little moved. If he could receive attention from the bosses, he could only work harder in the future and live up to the bosses' expectations for him.

Since there are still many things at the headquarters that need to be handled by the Deputy Chief of Staff, the Deputy Chief of Staff cannot stay in the arsenal at night, so it is necessary to hurry up and return to the headquarters.

Seeing the deputy chief of staff leave the arsenal, Liu Gen and others returned to the arsenal to rest, but tonight, few people were probably able to fall asleep.

Liu Gen stayed in his room and was lit with an oil lamp. He didn't know if Foreman Qi and others could fall asleep, but he couldn't sleep anymore. Thinking about the conversation between the Deputy Chief of Staff and himself, Liu Gen was still a little excited. Who would have thought that he would have the opportunity to talk to the Deputy Chief of Staff alone?

Sitting at the table, Liu Gen took out the notes and recorded them. He wanted to record what happened today, hoping that he could remember what happened today. In the years to come, Liu Gen would definitely have many possibilities of making mistakes. Whenever Liu Gen had problems, he hoped that he would think of what happened today.

Under the faint light of the oil lamp, Liu Gen kept recording. He was very serious and worked hard to write to the best when writing.

After recording all the things today, Liu Gen took out another notebook and recorded some ideas about the development of the arsenal. After clearly understanding the conditions of the arsenal, Liu Gen knew that the next task was to take the lead in developing the arsenal. Only by improving the industrial system in the anti-Japanese base area through the arsenal can we ensure that the things like today will not happen again in the future.

After Liu Gen recorded all the things he thought of, it was almost morning. Seeing this, he no longer had the idea of ​​rest. With Liu Gen's physical fitness, he would not have any impact on him occasionally. At least now, Liu Gen felt that he was in good condition. After practicing Bajiquan, he became much more energetic.

On this day, Liu Gen stayed in the artillery department, constantly improving the problems on the rocket launcher. In the evening meeting, he took out his notebook again and received the support of Director Xu and others.

After experiencing the creation of rocket launchers, Liu Gen became more mature and steady. After clarifying the future development plan of the arsenal, his mentality became unhurried and impatient. With the efforts of Liu Gen and others, the arsenal will change certainly every day. One day, the arsenal will develop into what Liu Gen imagined.

As time entered July, the Japanese troops were sweeping in the anti-Japanese base areas more and more frequently, and the situation of the Eighth Route Army units became worse. During this period, under the crazy sweeping of the Japanese, the Eighth Route Army units also suffered certain casualties, and it was difficult to hear good news coming back from the front line.
