Chapter 141 Seeking Buddha
"Oh? Is there someone more powerful than you?"
Fan Xian lifted up his few remaining hairs again.
"Professor Zhou Renzhou, founder of the Institute of Engineering of the National Central Research Institute in Shanghai! He is also the most authoritative expert in steel metallurgy in our country!"
Zhao Gang was unsure and contacted Wang Meng and Lin Shubing in southern Shanxi through various channels.
When Lin Shubing saw the word "Zhou Ren", he was so excited that he spoke incoherently.
"Shubing, what's wrong with you? Who is this great god?"
"Mengzi, no matter how difficult it is, you must take down Professor Zhou Renzhou! He can be said to be the founder of China's steel and metallurgical industry!"
Zhou Ren, an outstanding metallurgical expert, once developed and designed a three-phase electric arc furnace, and successfully produced stainless steel, manganese steel, high-speed steel, etc.
After listening to Lin Shubing's introduction, Wang Meng did not dare to underestimate this heavyweight master, and immediately contacted Zhao Gang, asking him to invite Zhou Ren back no matter what means he used.
With Fan Xian's introduction, Zhao Gang met Zhou Ren, whose hairline was slightly receding.
"Professor Zhou, I'm Zhao Gang from southern Shanxi. I'm here today to invite you to come to southern Shanxi to build one of the most advanced steel plants in the country!"
Zhou Ren pushed his round-frame glasses and looked at Zhao Gang with some surprise, thinking, this guy doesn't look stupid, so why is he talking nonsense?
"Mr. Zhao, as far as I know, southern Shanxi should be occupied by the Japanese, right? Can we build our own steel plant there?"
"Professor Zhou, you don't know that although most of southern Shanxi is under the control of the Japanese, in the near future, our independent column will definitely control the entire southern Shanxi!"
"Wait, independent column?"
Zhou Ren immediately looked up newspapers from the previous few days. He picked up any mainstream newspaper and saw free advertisements for the Independent Column.
Zhou Ren spread the newspaper with pictures of tanks and artillery in front of Zhao Gang.
"Is this the independent column?"
"really!"
"Well, you do have some ability. But, I'm sorry, I can't obey your order. You should find another job!"
Zhao Gang originally thought that with the title of an independent column, this task would not be so difficult to accomplish, but now it seems that the temperament of this intellectual is indeed difficult to figure out.
"Professor Zhou, do you have any concerns? Or do you have any difficulties? We can find a way to help you solve them."
"Mr. Zhao, I heard from Fan Xian that you are also a graduate of Yan University. Then you should know how high the technical content of the steel and metallurgical industry is, right? This is not a job that can be done by just setting up a stage. It requires a large number of skilled workers and equipment."
What Zhou Ren meant was that if the independent column didn't have the skills, it shouldn't take on the job.
After Zhou Ren evacuated from Shanghai, he worked very successfully in Kunming. Using extremely simple conditions, he was able to produce common steel, hard magnetic steel and spring steel.
However, the difficulties experienced are unimaginable for ordinary people.
Therefore, he understands better than anyone that technical reserves and equipment are hard requirements for scientific research.
Although Zhouren is located in Kunming, a place with backward conditions, the technical talents and equipment are far superior to those in southern Shanxi.
"Professor Zhou, we have recruited more than 200 skilled workers from Toyota Steel Plant a few days ago. In addition, our independent column will also do its best to recruit outstanding college students."
Zhou Ren was a little impatient. His time was extremely precious now and there were countless experiments waiting for him, so he ruthlessly interrupted Zhao Gang's speech.
"Mr. Zhao, I admit that you have made thorough preparations, but you still have no way to solve the problem of machinery and equipment!"
"Wait, take a look at this first!"
Zhao Gang ordered the guards to bring over a large box full of operating manuals for various equipment in the steel plant.
Zhou Ren opened the box curiously, his expression changed from suspicion to shock. He slowly sat down at the table and flipped through the pages one by one.
Fan Xian also picked up one out of curiosity, but was immediately scolded by Zhou Ren.
"Fan Xian, don't be clumsy! Don't make it dirty!"
Fan Xian rolled his eyes at him. How could this man change his expression so quickly?
Fan Xian opened the first page and understood why Zhou Ren was so immersed in it and why he was so cautious.
“Oh my god, do these machines really exist?”
"Replace it if it's fake!"
The machinery and equipment from the 1942s that Wang Meng obtained were considered old and dilapidated in the era before he traveled through time, but in the spring of , they were undoubtedly equipment that was ahead of its time.
After a long while, Zhou Ren finally raised his head from the book.
"Mr. Zhao, have you got this equipment?"
"Our military industrial base is under construction now. The foundation has been laid. We are waiting for you to come over and personally guide and install it. We can start production right away!"
"In addition, we are also planning to open a gun factory and an ammunition factory."
"Okay, let's set off immediately!"
The corners of Zhao Gang's mouth gradually rose, and he immediately helped Zhou Ren pack his luggage. With just a simple box, he hurried north with his wife and children.
After many twists and turns, Zhao Gang finally brought Zhou Ren and Fan Xian back to Shipo Township.
Li Yunlong and others lined up at the door to welcome them. During this period, Li Yunlong's mouth was almost crooked with smiles. Every day, he lined up at the door like a lucky cat to welcome people with lofty ideals from all over the country.
"Professor Zhou, I have been looking forward to seeing you here!"
"you are?"
Zhao Gang introduced Li Yunlong, Wang Meng and Lin Shubing to Zhou Ren one by one.
Then he was taken to a group of "talent apartments" built on the right side of the military fortress.
Although this large talent apartment does not have the strict security of a fortress, it is guaranteed to have sentries and patrols day and night.
With Zhou Ren's level, he moved into a two-story building.
Fan Xian moved into a large bungalow of 100 square meters.
Zhou Ren and Fan Xian looked at the thriving Shipo Township and immediately felt the enthusiasm and vitality. Everyone here seemed to have endless energy.
"Political Commissar Zhao, take us to the military industrial base. The sooner the equipment is put into production, the sooner we can manufacture guns and cannons and drive the Japanese out!"
Since Zhou Ren and Fan Xian didn't mind the long journey, Zhao Gang naturally didn't mind either. They got on the jeep and headed for Grand Canyon Town.
When they arrived at Grand Canyon Town, Zhou Ren and Fan Xian were stunned by the hundreds of large-scale engineering equipment.
These devices have never been seen in China, let alone in advanced Western countries.
When Zhou Ren saw a pile of large equipment covered with tarpaulins, he pointed at them excitedly.
“Is this metallurgical equipment?”
"Exactly!"
The guard lifted the tarpaulin, and a number of advanced equipment appeared in front of Zhou Ren.
Zhou Ren touched the equipment excitedly and couldn't wait to take out the drawings to plan the location of the equipment.
Just when Zhou Ren and Fan Xian were making great strides once again, someone in Chongqing was lowering his head in disappointment.
