Chapter 588 The Terrifying Zhanjiang Arsenal
"Commander Lu, please, this is the core of our Zhanjiang Military Industrial Park - Zhanjiang Arsenal!"
Ten minutes later, Academician Li Tianlin and Lu Chong, who were riding in the same car, arrived at the center of the military industrial park under the escort of the guard platoon.
Today, there is a huge factory area that is being upgraded and expanded on the original basis!
The convoy stopped outside the factory gate. After Lu Chong got off the car, he just looked up and saw a large number of construction workers in uniform, as well as various types of engineering machinery and vehicles moving around in the factory.
The construction machinery rumbled and the workers kept shouting, the whole scene was full of bustling activity!
...
"When this place is fully built in the future, more than 80% of the industrial chain and factories in the entire Zhanjiang Military Industrial Park will be centered around it for production!"
When talking about the Zhanjiang Arsenal under construction, Academician Li Tianlin showed a visibly proud expression on his face.
Arsenals are not uncommon, but such an arsenal, which he personally participated in and designed after the end of the world, has extraordinary significance for every military worker!
It is like a child that one has personally raised, watching it grow stronger step by step, and taking on the responsibility of supporting humanity in resisting the apocalypse!
When Li Tianlin thought that every bullet fired by the soldiers at the end of the world had his own contribution, he felt relieved, with a huge sense of accomplishment and participation!
At the gate of the arsenal, Lu Chong put on the white helmet handed to him by the staff, with deep inquiry and curiosity in his eyes, and walked into the arsenal that the Military Control Commission's expert leadership group had high hopes for together with Academician Li Tianlin.
"Commander Lu Chong, our Zhanjiang Arsenal is planned to have a total construction area of about 5000 acres, which is mainly divided into multiple functional areas such as production area, R&D area, storage area, living area, power area, etc. Each area is separated by independent walls and roads, which not only ensures functional independence, but also facilitates communication and cooperation!"
5000 acres?
Hearing this, Lu Chong silently chewed on the number in his mind.
"Fuck, this has to be as big as the chief's Night University Military Region, right? How many weapons and equipment can it produce?" Thinking of this, Lu Chong automatically brought the outline of the Night University campus into the future Zhanjiang Arsenal.
Soon, under the leadership of Academician Li Tianlin, Lu Chong arrived at the first area of the Zhanjiang Arsenal, which was a huge steel-frame factory building complex!
Standing at the entrance of the production area, Academician Li Tianlin pointed to the production area under construction and introduced:
"Commander Lu Chong, this is our production area!"
"The production area covers a total area of about 2000 mu, with a firearms workshop for producing various types of firearms, an artillery workshop for producing artillery of various calibers, a missile workshop that uses dust-free purification production and is equipped with high-precision assembly and testing equipment, and an ammunition workshop that produces various types of bullets and shells."
While introducing, Academician Li Tianlin took Lu Chong into the ammunition workshop and visited the only large-scale bullet production line in the workshop that had just been assembled. This bullet production line is expected to produce about 5 rounds of various types of bullets every day!
According to Academician Li Tianlin, with subsequent development, the seed bullet production line will eventually be expanded to 20 lines, with an estimated daily output of about one million rounds!
Lu Chong watched almost the entire process of bullet manufacturing. For a small bullet, the production line is equipped with stamping equipment, processing machine tools, charging devices, assembly equipment, etc., and the skilled coordination between workers and equipment is also indispensable.
After visiting the entire process, he couldn't help but respect Academician Li Tianlin even more.
"Damn it, these things are really not something that ordinary people can tinker with!" Lu Chong secretly complained in his heart.
Just now, Academician Li Tianlin also gave him a brief introduction to some working principles, but in Lu Chong's ears, it was just incomprehensible gibberish such as "wabibabu".
It would be better to let him fight with zombies with bayonets than to let him study this!
Sure enough, fighting is still fun!
..
After visiting the production area, Academician Li Tianlin took Lu Chong and his party to the R&D area covering an area of 1000 acres. The R&D area is divided into a comprehensive experimental area and an experimental site. In the conception of the military expert group:
The comprehensive laboratory includes a materials research laboratory, an electronic technology laboratory, a simulation test center, etc., and is mainly responsible for the research and development of new materials, intelligent ammunition, and informationized combat systems.
However, since the construction level is not high and there is nothing to see, I just skipped it.
Afterwards, Academician Li Tianlin accompanied Lu Chong to visit the storage area including raw material warehouses and finished product warehouses, the living area including employee dormitories, canteens, supermarkets, hospitals, gyms, libraries, etc., and the power area including substations, boiler rooms, sewage treatment plants, etc.
A 15-meter-wide circular main road is constructed inside the entire Zhanjiang Arsenal, connecting various functional areas and facilitating vehicle traffic.
Secondary roads and branches are reasonably distributed to meet the needs of cargo transportation and personnel passage. There is also a railway trunk line introduced from outside the factory area, which can directly reach the storage area and production area, facilitating the transportation of bulk raw materials and finished products.
At the same time, special logistics channels are set up in the production area and storage area, which are connected to external roads, which not only improves logistics efficiency but also reduces interference with other areas.
...
Lu Chong's final tour took more than two hours. His most intuitive feeling was that the Zhanjiang Arsenal was like an independent small community!
It is easy to imagine how much change such a military factory, which produces 100 million bullets, 5000 artillery shells, 2000 firearms of various types, artillery pieces and a number of missiles of various types per day, will bring to the combat effectiveness of the troops when it is truly completed!
Needless to say, in the future, the Zhanjiang Arsenal will only need about a week to equip a complete infantry brigade!
One infantry brigade per week. To make an inappropriate analogy, without considering combat effectiveness, the Zhanjiang Arsenal's troop production speed will be faster than the system!
