Chuliang, Granary, Granary No. 13.
Xu San was squatting in front of a huge pit and directing several soldiers to dig hard.
The soldiers moved skillfully and made rapid progress, but it was a pity that the tools in their hands were not handy. The best excavation tool they were injured was the imitation Soviet-made MPL-50 engineer shovel. As a portable fortification excavation equipment, it has a total length of 50 cm, a shovel head length of 18 cm, a width of 15 cm, and a weight of about 800 grams. It can be used for self-defense and as a weapon to kill the enemy. It is a field tool equipped by Soviet Russia to this day.
However, this kind of shovel has a general effect and a single purpose. There is still a lot of functional gap between it and the multi-functional engineer shovels of later generations.
However, there is only one MPL-50, and the others are homemade shovels of different sizes.
Xu San smacked his mouth and patted his head, feeling that he had been negligent and had forgotten the engineer shovel, an infantry artifact.
So he found paper and pen and began to draw a sketch of the Q-3 foldable engineer shovel.
As a veteran who makes film and television props, he is certainly familiar with this common size, and Q-3 itself has few parts, so it is easy to draw, but his painting skills are a bit weak.
The original Q-3 is made of all metal, which consumes a lot of metal, but Xu San is not worried about this, because after this thing is handed over, there will definitely be experts who will optimize it again, and they will naturally know what to choose.
The sketch had been drawn, and Xu San began to annotate the functions. After annotating the parameters he knew, he found a little soldier looking attentively at the sketch in his hand.
Instead of hiding it, Xu San turned the sketch in his hand and asked, "Are you an engineer?"
"Report to the leader, I am an engineer!" the little soldier answered at attention.
"This is the engineering shovel I designed. Do you think it works?" Xu San asked.
Xu San's question made the little soldier stiffen. He paused for several seconds before he said, "Chief, if you didn't say it was an engineer shovel, I would have thought you were drawing some kind of animal?"
"emmmm" Feeling bad, Xu San turned the sketch over and found that what he drew was a bit abstract, but he could still understand it while reading the annotations.
The little soldier seemed to notice Xu San's embarrassment, "Chief, I am a rough man and cannot understand your design. Why don't I find our squad leader? He is a cultured person and should be able to understand."
Xu San waved his hand, "No need!"
After speaking, he glanced around and found that all the soldiers had stopped moving. It seemed that the hole had been dug. He stood up, looked at the big hole that had been dug, and felt that there was no problem, so he said to the soldiers, "Okay. Come on, go out first and see Commander Ding telling him that I have designed a new type of engineer shovel and ask him to come over and take a look."
"yes!"
The soldiers saluted and left the granary, but when they left, Xu San asked them to keep their MPL-50 engineer shovels for reference when explaining to Ding Wei later.
After a while, Ding Wei opened the warehouse door and walked in, "Comrade leader, I heard that you designed a new type of engineering shovel?"
Xu San nodded and shook the design drawing in his hand, "Yes, I just saw the soldiers digging holes and felt that the tools were not very handy, so I designed one on a whim."
Ding Wei took the design drawing and gave Xu San a top hat, "I didn't expect you, comrade leader, to have this ability. Not only are you good at camouflaging and lurking, you can also design weapons."
Ding Wei is well-informed after all. Even if Xu San's design is very abstract, he can still get a general idea. At least he won't regard Xu San's design as some unknown animal.
Now that Ding Wei could understand it, Xu San started explaining Q-3 with the MPL-50 in his hand as a reference.
About ten minutes later, Ding Wei had a preliminary understanding of this new engineer shovel.
He put away the design drawing and said to Xu San, "I will give this to the comrades in the arsenal in your name and let them produce a batch."
"Don't use my name. When the time comes, use your name, Captain Ding, my identity."
Ding Wei smiled helplessly, "Okay, then I, Ding, will be polite and pretend to be someone else. After the revolution is victorious, I will definitely return this honor to the leading comrades."
"That's not necessary. I take these false reputations very lightly. If Captain Ding feels that he deserves it, then you can do whatever you want."
Xu San said, then opened the warehouse door and fled.
Ding Wei looked at Xu San leaving and felt that there seemed to be something wrong with what he said. What do you mean, you just have to figure it out?
What does it mean to figure it out?
Soon, Ding Wei knew what this meant.
Pit, what a big pit!
You've dug a big hole in your relationship for your mother's labor to fill.
After much calculation, labor and capital were finally taken into account.
The air at night was very good. Xu San did several chest expansion exercises as soon as he walked out of the warehouse door. He found a comfortable place to sit down, put on his headphones, and listened to the information on the channel.
The channel was very busy now. There were five groups and six walkie-talkies, which could be said to explain the food transportation operation clearly. But as he listened, he seemed to hear a familiar female voice coming from the background, which seemed to be Ji Wushuang. Miss Ji.
The corner of Xu San's mouth twitched a few times, thinking, how could this fearless young lady get involved.
Thinking of Miss Ji's out-of-the-box character, maybe her head gets hot and she secretly follows her over to take a look.
Thinking of this, Xu San couldn't sit still. He knew that he couldn't stay here any longer in the grain depot and had to leave.
After waiting patiently for a few minutes, Ding Wei appeared in front of him.
"Is it done?" Xu San raised his head and asked.
"Yeah!" Ding Wei nodded lightly, "You owe me a favor!"
"Everyone who owes anything is a revolutionary comrade. If you have any difficulties, Commander Ding, just tell me, and you will go through fire and water without hesitation." Xu San said with a playful smile.
Ding Wei smiled, sat next to Xu San, took out a cigarette and lit it, "Looking at your mean smile, I think of Li Yunlong. You two have the same virtue in terms of shamelessness."
"I'm more shameless than him!" Xu San said calmly, and then showed a harmless smile, "I heard a woman's voice on the intercom just now, and now she is in the independent group. I can't see her yet. So it’s time for me to go.”
"Woman? Object?" Ding Wei looked over with gossip, and then handed over a cigarette.
Xu San stretched out his hand to block it, "No, it's just that one of my vests has something to do with her. It would be very troublesome for her to explain it to her, and it would also not be conducive to my future work."
"In this case, I won't keep you, take care of yourself along the way!" Ding Wei said.
Xu San stood up, pointed at the headphones in his ears, "Say something on the intercom." (End of Chapter)
