"Apart from Commander Li leading a squad of the new regiment, he also selected a company of soldiers from the Munitions Factory for training. That's why today's incident happened.”
" This operation was proposed by Division Chief Shen. The purpose is not to annihilate the Wan Family Town's puppet military camp, but to speed up the construction of the arsenal. In this battle, they seized a large amount of resources, generators, radio stations, and so on. They also captured the puppet military camp. Tomorrow, they will start mining in the mountains…"
As the news spread, everyone present was dumbfounded.
However, when he heard the long list of supplies, which were all rare and expensive items, the boss's anger slowly eased.
Radio station?
This was a treasure!
"Haha, Boss, now that the matter has finally been completely clarified, it looks like Division Chief Shen is going to use the spoils of war from Wan Jia Town to carry out a drastic transformation of the arsenal!”
The chief of staff was overjoyed. Unlike the boss, the chief of staff was the deputy chief of staff, but in reality, he was fully responsible and did the work of the chief of staff.
Moreover, he was the person in charge of logistics and intelligence.
Therefore, he was actually more attentive to Shen Feng than the boss. Naturally, he quickly put in a good word for Shen Feng.
"Hmph, this brat is quite capable. He even mobilized Li Yunlong. I think he'll have to mobilize me next.”
A moment later, the boss sighed." Alright, since it's for the development of the Munitions Factory, I won't say anything. Don't even think about those military horses. Don't touch the materials of the Munitions Factory without Shen Feng's permission. This kid is planning a big move!”
With the boss on his side, how could Brigadier Chen still take advantage of him?
"But I'm curious. That kid organized the mining and knows the location?”
Everyone was very surprised by this. If they could really dig up the mine, the energy shortage would be greatly made up for in an instant. This was a great thing, and it was even more beneficial than taking down ten Wan Family Towns!
"Boss, this isn't something we should worry about. From the performance during this period of time, Section Chief Shen never fights a battle that he isn't confident in.”
"If we can really dig out the mine and renovate the arsenal, would you consider giving Division Chief Shen another position?" The chief of staff smiled.”
The boss raised his eyebrows." If he can really renovate the arsenal, I'll promote him to the chief of the general affairs department!”
The General Affairs Division was responsible for the overall planning and construction of the entire arsenal.
Compared to the Public Works Department, even though they were both section chiefs, it seemed like they would be transferred to the same level, but their actual power would be greatly increased. By then, Shen Feng would not only be a section chief, but also the chief engineer of the entire Munitions Factory!
……
Shen Feng instigated Old Li to attack Wanjia Town, not only did it alarm the Jinsui Army and our army, but it also alarmed the Japanese army.
However, by the time the reinforcements arrived at Wanjia Town, the fake military camp had already been moved to the ground. Even the Japanese were in tears.
The Japanese army also found traces of the battle without conscience at the scene. Combined with the destruction of the Sakata United, they quickly launched an investigation.
At the same time, Shen Feng was leading the soldiers to carry out a series of reforms.
He first chose a ravine that was closest to the arsenal. According to the mineral resources distribution map, the mineral resources here were very rich and varied, and there were saltpeter and metal ores that were the most urgently needed.
Shen Feng got up at dawn. After gathering the engineering company, he escorted the fake military camp into the mountain.
Li Yun Long, including Zhang Wan He, many people came to watch when they heard that they were going to mine, to see if they could dig out the ore.
Before they started mining, Shen Feng first asked Li Erniu to herd the horses ten miles away. He would herd a batch of horses every day and take turns. The remaining batch would be transported in the mountains.
At the same time, Li Erniu was also in charge of keeping watch. Whether it was mining or the upcoming innovation, the Munitions Factory would definitely cause a big commotion. If any enemies approached, they would be able to detect them at the first moment.
This way, unless the Japanese planes came, they would not be caught off guard.
Then, he ordered people to bring over the explosives that he had seized and carry out a fixed-point explosion!
"Everyone, stay away."
After the deployment was completed at the various weak points of the mine, Shen Feng got the engineers to light the fuse.
Everyone retreated to a safe distance.
Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The thunderous explosion was deafening. With more than a dozen explosives exploding at the same time, half of a small mountain was blown flat. Collapsing boulders rolled down from the top of the mountain and filled the entire ravine.
Gravel flew everywhere at the scene. It was very dangerous. It took a long time for the dust to settle down.
"Damn it, the Japanese's explosives are really good.”
"Don't worry, Old Li. We'll soon be able to use such good explosives, even better than theirs!”
"Brother Shen, our Old Li doesn't know anything about geological exploration, but are there really things that can be used to make explosives in these rocks?”
Old Li was skeptical.
Shen Feng walked to a pile of rubble, picked up a piece, touched it, and sniffed it before throwing it away.
After finding a few pieces, his eyes suddenly lit up." All of you, come here and remember the characteristics of this stone. This is saltpeter.”
Zhang Wanhe was shocked and quickly went forward to check. As the head of the logistics department, he was naturally well-informed. Furthermore, saltpeter was not rare. The arsenal also used this kind of thing to make black gunpowder.
"It really is saltpeter!"
"Oh my god, I didn't expect there to be so much saltpeter here. Little Shen, you're really amazing. With an exploration expert like you, we won't have to worry about not having enough gunpowder in the future!”
Zhang Wanhe quickly confirmed the saltpeter, but Shen Feng snorted and said,""Gunpowder? It's explosives!"
Saltpeter was also known as flame saltpeter and potash saltpeter. It was indeed one of the raw materials used to make gunpowder. It was also one of the raw materials used to make matches, fireworks, paint, and even glass.
In the past, the Munitions Factory used saltpeter to make gunpowder. The process was crude and the standard was not high enough. The only thing that was produced was potassium nitrates. The main raw materials were plant ash and saltpeter soil.
However, he had already created a series of production equipment according to the design blueprint rewarded by the system last night. It was much more advanced than the ones used by the Munitions Factory.
These facilities could not only help him to produce sulfuric acid, but he could also produce picric acid, regon, and even nitrogen by relying on the natural minerals in the mountains.
With these elements, it was not difficult to create TNT.
"That's great. Does this mean that we won't only have real explosives in the future, but also more powerful bullets and cannonballs?”
Even though everyone did not understand what he meant, they knew that once Shen Feng got serious, there was nothing he could not do.
If we can really create explosives, it will really improve the quality of our weapons!
"Alright, I'll leave this place to you. Those who need to mine, those who need to transport, those who need to smelt, follow me. I'll teach you how to operate when we return to the factory. Enough!"
