Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

Chapter 58 Apples still have to be grown at home

 After making the call, Huang He immediately returned to his shabby room and began to allocate free scientific research slots. Although there was not much time left, the system kept urging him.

Before the battle in Cangyun Ridge began, he allocated the three scientific research slots in his hand to "Discrete Industry Type 1", "Excavation Technology Type 1" and "Improved Machine Tools" respectively.

These three scientific research projects were fully unlocked on February 8 this year and are now put into use. Considering that these basic industrial projects were not enough for the development of the base area, Huang He continued to click on these scientific research options.

“Mechanical computers: Building microanalysers will fundamentally change the scope of mechanical computing.

 Time required for study: 70 days

 Effect: Scientific research speed +4.0%

 Get the drawings of the equipment*1》

This relatively old tool is no stranger to Huanghe.

Although this thing had been eliminated long ago before he traveled through time, he used mechanical computers a lot when he was studying in Europe, especially at the Second Northern Special Design Bureau.

Different from the electronic calculator that most people have in mind, which is composed of electronic components, this thing invented by the French mathematician Pascal is composed of mechanical parts such as levers and gears.

Judging from the current technological level around the world, mechanical computers can be regarded as a black technology.

 In Western developed countries, it is widely used in current military equipment and forms the basis of bomber bombsights.

In addition, mechanical computers are required to calculate the speed of the aircraft after the radar detects it, and to adjust the elevation of the naval gun at any time when the ship is in combat.

“Advanced machine tools: The feasibility of automated machine tools using servos has been explored, and putting these ideas into practice could take advantage of other advances in automation, such as computers.

 Time required for study: 70 days

 Effect: Production effect upper limit +10%

 Obtained five advanced machine tools.

 There are five researchers each in the mechanical engineering major and the mechanical engineering manufacturing major. "

  Machine tools are the mother of machines and the king of precision. There are only three scientific research projects on machine tools, and this is the last one.

 Machine tools obtained through scientific research channels have reached the pinnacle of the current world. The latest machine tools will not lag behind other countries at least before 1960.

 As for what to do next? The design of mechanical equipment ultimately comes down to mechanical issues and material issues, and Huang He has nothing to do about it. But he believed that with such a high starting point, he would not fall further behind as he lived.

“Discrete Industry II: Further dispersing industry will make it more difficult to target a specific attack.

Effect:

 Regional maximum industrial value +20%

 Production efficiency remains +10%

 Basic production efficiency +5%

 Factory output +10%

 Naval dock output +10%

Factory vulnerability to bombing -10%"

Huang He was very keen to discover the biggest difference between Type 1 and Type 2. Type 2 has the production speed of a naval dock.

 Although in the original game, the navy was a bit useless. Even except for Dai Ying, Chou Guo and Benzi, basically no country will pay attention to the navy.

 In the final analysis, the navy is too expensive, and most countries cannot afford it.

 But games are not reality, and the navy in reality is very important. The Eighth Route Army is currently operating entirely inland, and important coastal cities are still in the hands of the enemy.

 But Huang He has always had a dream, that is to destroy the so-called combined fleet with his own hands, and even take back their flagship. This matter was very difficult, not only because the Eighth Route Army did not have any warships, but also because time was tight.

 The U.S.'s industrial capabilities and war potential are not exaggerated, and it will be in direct competition with those people.

Thinking of this, he decided that he had to speed up the progress of something. I definitely can't beat it, so I can only try to overtake in corners.

“Atomic energy research: In nuclear fission, the splitting of atoms will release a large amount of energy and be immeasurably destructive.

 Time required for study: 70 days

 Effect: Scientific research speed +4%

 Get some information from No. 401 Institute

To be honest, Huang He never expected that the gains from this scientific research would be so great. Although it was not given to professional researchers, important information was given directly.

In the future, when those professional people return to China, they will definitely get twice the result with half the effort with these materials.

As an island country and a former tributary country, Benzi’s lack of resources is their most fatal flaw. Our international image has always been that of a helpful big brother, so it makes sense for us to help the little devils grow apples and provide their citizens with nutrition.     Very reasonable, they will have to thank us then. In order to commemorate the friendship between the two countries, we sent a lady named Qiu to take charge of this matter.

“Experimental rockets: By improving the reliability and range of liquid rockets to promote rocket science research, we have acquired enough knowledge to build a launch base for more advanced rockets.

get:

Complete set of information on Katyusha rocket launcher

  V2 rocket complete set of information》

 Although the current base area does not have the ability to produce these things, it does not prevent Huang He from obtaining the information of these high-end weapons first. When he was working in the north, he was involved in the research on the predecessor of Katyusha. This powerful weapon will be a top priority even in the future.

Just when all the free scientific research slots were allocated, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

 “Old Huang, Old Huang, I’m here to see you!”

With his iconic voice, Li Yunlong pushed open the door of Huanghe's house with one shoulder, holding a pot of chicken soup in his hand.

 “Hey hey hey, here comes the chicken soup!”

 After entering the door, Director Li Da felt as if he had returned to his own home. He looked around and saw a table in the center of the fire pit.

 After placing the basin in his hand on the table, he took off his shoes and went directly to bed and sat next to the Yellow River. Then, as if by magic, Li Yunlong took out two bottles of sweet potato sauce from his military uniform.

Seeing this posture, Huang He knew without even thinking that this fellow was going to do something new.

“Old Huang, you are really a busy man. I finally escaped death and returned to our logistics department, but you didn’t come to pick me up. It’s so sad!”

“You are worse than Lao Zhang. Even one of his ministers personally came to pick me up. How come you, the director, are still picking it up?”

Having said this, Li Yunlong opened a bottle of wine and handed it directly to Huang He.

“It’s just the two of us today, there are no outsiders, so you can just blow into the bottle. You should punish yourself first, be happy and be honest, I don’t know who brags about how to drink with the idiots every day.”

Looking at Li Yunlong who was trying to persuade him to drink like a bandit, Huang He took a helpless sip. Although I knew this guy had evil intentions, it was already past working hours and it was okay to drink.

“Old Huang, you don’t know how dangerous this mission is. I almost couldn’t come back. The little devil was like chasing a grandson along the way, chasing us almost half of the province.”

About the secret service company, Huang He heard from the comrades in the Logistics Department. But Li Yunlong, the person involved, told it in person, which made Huang He feel very different.

Although I know that as a fellow countryman, I am playing the emotional card, I still get nervous when I hear about the dangerous place called the Yellow River.

Li Yunlong spent almost an hour explaining the entire mission of the secret agent company. During this period, Wang Dexing once again presented wine and side dishes to go with the wine.

 Having eaten a chicken and a bottle of wine, Huang He was a little tipsy. Seeing that the atmosphere was about the same, Li Yunlong asked tentatively:

“Lao Huang, last time I heard you said you were going to get a batch of new equipment to equip the troops. How is this going?”

 Huang He glanced at Li Yunlong, who had a sly look on his face. This matter was not a secret. Almost everyone in the logistics department knew about it.

 “It will take another three months, what? Are you doing your old habit again?”

But Huang He didn't expect that this time Factory Director Li Da actually asked for supplies according to the order, but he took advantage of the division commander's loophole. The division commander only agreed that Li Yunlong could come to the Logistics Department to pick up a batch of supplies, but he did not say whether to get new weapons or old-fashioned weapons.

 He took out a note signed by the division commander and shook it proudly.

"You can't say this nonsense. I, Li Yunlong, am the man who made the newspaper. I won't do any sneaky things."

"Headquarters has agreed to my request to return to the front line. During this period, a new team will be specially recruited for me to lead. By then, I will have to worry about the equipment."

Huang He took the note from the opponent's hand and looked at it carefully. After confirming that it was genuine, he agreed to Li Yunlong and give priority to equipping his regiment with new weapons after a while.

  Start paying off your debt tomorrow!

Rockets and atomic energy are because I really don’t have anything else to focus on, so I won’t focus on rocket launchers in 40 years.
