The rise of great powers: starting from military industry

The next day, construction support personnel arrived one after another.

The area around Panshan Machinery Factory suddenly became lively.

Production is going on inside the factory, and outside the factory it has turned into a large construction site.

As planned by Liu Tao before, the 100 square kilometers area was included in the Panshan Machinery Factory and was under the jurisdiction of the Panshan Machinery Factory.

The small number of natural villages and the like in the area will be relocated to nearby towns.

Liu Tao also became busy. He was involved in both production and construction.

Every day, there are transport vehicles on the road continuously, transporting production materials, weapons and ammunition, or construction materials.

This made the widened road suddenly become crowded.

He was busy in the early stage, but gradually got on the right track with the running-in. When June entered, Liu Tao breathed a sigh of relief. He finally had extra time and energy to devote to research.

During this period, workers from factories 991, 9815, and 9807 arrived in batches, and a total of 600 workers have arrived.

After these workers undergo simple training, they can start working immediately.

This has allowed Panshan Machinery Factory to expand its production capacity and some workers have been able to take vacations.

In the laboratory, Liu Tao is assembling a gun.

Soon, the gun was assembled.

It is very similar to the Type 78 automatic rifle, but has an added scope.

This is the sniper rifle Liu Tao wants to build.

The heavy sniper rifle he developed before was expensive and the bullets were expensive. It was suitable for sniping important targets, but it was not suitable for widespread use at the squad and platoon levels.

Therefore, he planned to create a sniper rifle based on the 'Type 78' automatic rifle.

Improve the accuracy through the sight, and the most important thing is to increase the range.

After all, the previous Type 78 automatic rifle had an effective range of 400 meters!

Liu Tao held the sniper rifle and looked at the virtual panel in the corner of his eye.

[Item: Type 78 sniper rifle]

[Manufacturer: Liu Tao]

[Item Level: LV1 (0/10)]

[Upgrade points: 3]

[Item status: intact, parsable]

Looking at the detailed information, Liu Tao pondered a little in his heart.

Limited by its basics, this sniper rifle only has two directions for improvement, one is accuracy and the other is range.

By making a sniper rifle, Liu Tao can get 3 upgrade points.

Liu Tao continued to assemble the sniper rifle. Although the range is only 400 meters now, it can be used after assembly.

At the very least, militia battalions could be used.

By late at night, Liu Tao had made three sniper rifles.

The upgrade points have also reached 9 points.

After looking at the time, Liu Tao placed the three sniper rifles, put the parts in place, checked them, and left the laboratory after checking that there were no problems.

It was already three o'clock in the morning, but the factory was still brightly lit and the machinery was humming.

Working in three shifts of eight hours each, production continues 24 hours a day.

Even now there are three shifts, almost all the time.

Even the canteen is open at night, and the chefs have to prepare meals for the workers.

Liu Tao walked to the cafeteria.

Now there is not only one canteen, but four canteens.

"Director, what would you like to eat?" the chef asked familiarly.

"Master Chen, give me a bowl of noodles." Liu Tao said.

As a late night snack, he used to eat a bowl of noodles.

"Okay!" Master Chen responded and started cooking noodles for Liu Tao.

If you are eating, there are hot rice and hot dishes that you can eat directly.

Soon, in about ten minutes, Master Chen came over with a bowl of noodles.

"Thank you!" Liu Tao started eating noodles.

Master Chen couldn't help but ask, "Director, I heard that temporary workers in the factory can also be converted into regular workers. Is this true?"

"Well, the documents will be made public in a few days." Liu Tao nodded and gave an affirmative answer.

He fought for this matter and finally got the consent of the Yun Provincial Defense Management Office.

Of course, the establishment is provided, and all wages and benefits are borne by Panshan Machinery Factory itself.

"Great! Great!" Master Chen grinned.

His wife, son, and daughter are all in the factory, but they are not regular workers, but temporary workers.

Although starting from the end of last year, the basic salary for both regular workers and temporary workers has been the same. The only differences are length of service and professional title. But at this time, what everyone focuses on is the establishment.

Having a system means holding an iron rice bowl, feeling secure, and having status.

It will also become easier to talk to someone.

"Work hard, and your life will definitely get better and better." Liu Tao encouraged, "Maybe if you perform well, you can apply for room allocation when the dormitory area is built."

"Director, can ordinary workers also participate in housing allocation?" Master Chen's eyes lit up.

The living area is under construction. Everyone has eyes and naturally knows how good and beautiful those houses are.

The columns, beams and slabs are all reinforced concrete, and the bricks are not adobe bricks, but red bricks.

Everyone has been talking about it for a long time.

"Of course, as long as you perform well, you can hope to get a house." Liu Tao nodded.

This time in the living area, a total of 3,000 residential houses will be built.

Liu Tao lives in the dormitory himself, and he knows how bad the primitive environment of the dormitory is.

Since it is being rebuilt, it is natural to build it for the better.

Anyway, Panshan Machinery Factory is not short of money now.

Liu Tao even built dozens of villas for leaders and high-end technical personnel to live in.

These houses are not high, the highest is only seven floors, and the villas are all three floors, which is not difficult to build.

Master Chen was even happier when he heard Liu Tao say this, and felt that life would be more promising.

He had heard that there would be shopping malls, cinemas, hospitals, schools, parks, etc. in the living area.

If he could really get a house, the living environment would be greatly improved.

Seeing that his son was already at the age of marriage, but had no house to live in, Master Chen was anxious in his heart.

Liu Tao chatted with Master Chen while eating noodles.

He wanted to hear the workers' real thoughts from Master Chen, and also wanted to use Master Chen's mouth to tell the workers something to improve the workers' production enthusiasm.

Next, Liu Tao has some actions.

For example, strengthen the leadership of the party organization, improve the trade union, and improve the workers' professional titles and levels.

There are still many things to do.

To accomplish these things, a very important factor must be the support of the majority of workers.

Although Liu Tao has never published an article, there is no doubt that he belongs to the reformists of this era.

To further reform, it is necessary to break some of the current rules and regulations.

This is why Liu Tao would chat with the workers every day when he had dinner, and walk around the factory after dinner to listen to what the workers said.

As people from the other three factories arrived one after another, the problems Liu Tao faced became more severe, because everyone had their own demands, and it was not easy to unite everyone.

Especially those educated youth, they had to be comforted.
