Li Tiancheng has adopted a modern enterprise management system in various enterprises, and the board of directors has been established. Of course, he is the chairman of Zhenhua Group. All Zhenhua branches have the word Zhenhua, and the same is true for steel mills.

"Okay, our new steel converter and electric furnace are finally in use!"

At the beginning, due to the limitations of technology and materials, new steelmaking furnaces could not be manufactured. In the past, most of the world still used the ancient open furnace steelmaking method, which was inefficient. Now, Li Tiancheng's machinery factory can produce better steelmaking equipment, and the heat treatment technology has also been greatly improved. New steelmaking furnaces and other production equipment have been produced.

With the gradual start of the electronic industry, electronic instruments and meters will be produced in some industrial land in the future. In the future, steel mills will introduce various electronic and electrical equipment and put them into all aspects of production, making the steel mills' technical capabilities stronger and stronger.

But in fact, there are many high-grade steels in China that need to be imported, so some steel products cannot be produced in steel mills. However, Li Tiancheng has established more than a dozen research centers in various fields such as machinery, electronics, materials, chemistry, medicine, military, etc., and a large number of scientific researchers are engaged in research work. I believe that technologies that have or are more advanced than those in later generations will appear one after another.

A new group of students from Zhenhua Technical School have also entered the school one after another. The school size has expanded to several times the original size, and the number of students has reached about 3,000. This is due to Zhenhua's famous reputation at home and abroad in recent years, making outstanding students in China hope to study at Zhenhua Technical School. Some foreigners also hope to send people to study at Zhenhua, but Li Tiancheng refused.

Due to funding restrictions, Li Tiancheng invested all the funds in important areas, such as smelting and machinery manufacturing are the industrial foundation, with a lot of investment, and the military industry has gradually strengthened. The chemical and electronic industries lag slightly, but factories that provide equipment for the industry are the focus of development.

Other industries such as clothing, food, textiles, etc. have also begun, but they are still put into production in small batches. The main funds are not invested in these aspects. Primary and secondary education cannot keep up. Li Tiancheng's plan has sufficient funds and his military capabilities are enough to protect his territory. After vigorously developing basic education, he is now mainly engaged in university education for students with basic needs.

Of course, Li Tiancheng hopes that more national capitalists will participate in their own industries. After all, it is better to develop alone than to develop together, so there will be more sources of funds. Therefore, in the future, cooperation with others to start factories and run schools will become the main way.

Soon, the first batch of stainless steel and high-strength and toughness alloy steel were produced. Unlike previous steel products, stainless steel was added with certain components such as nickel and titanium, which allowed the steel to prevent rust, acid and alkali corrosion. This technology only appeared ten years later. It was invented by Henry Breerley, a metallurgical scientist at the University of Sheffield, England. Although alloy steel has been available for a long time, its strength and toughness indicators cannot be compared with Zhenhua's products.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Brailly, I snatched your invention patent. Who told me to be a time traveler?" Li Tiancheng sneered on the recliner.

He thought that due to his arrival, many history would be rewritten, and people in the future would probably not remember the name of Madame Curie and Einstein, because their inventions and discoveries would be made in advance by the Chinese. These people were probably going to devote themselves to other fields. Perhaps with their genius and wisdom, they could invent many other things. Edison's tungsten filament light bulb will be released in Zhenhua soon, and it is a 21st century version.

"A large number of great scientists are going to be disabled in my hands. I hope the Nobel Prize will not be awarded again in the future, otherwise my hands will be sore." Li Tiancheng's mouth was almost cracked when he smiled.

Yan Lisan's recruitment work has already started, and the number of military personnel is still expanding. The number has exceeded more than 3,000, reaching the strength of several infantry battalions of the new Qing army. They are about to be equipped with heavy machine guns, mortars, howitzers, canons and other weapons and equipment.

Of course, this also requires the issue of funds. At present, the factory scale continues to expand, requiring a lot of funds. If the funds are insufficient, rely on joint ventures.

The next day, Li Tiancheng and Yan Lisan discussed military construction issues in the office, and Tan Jianye went to handle factory affairs.

"Yan Lisan, how are the soldiers training?" Li Tiancheng didn't see Yan Lisan for a few days. Sometimes they were busy with each other. Yan Lisan's figure was a little taller than last year, his face became rounder, and he had two dimples when he smiled.

"Chairman Li, we already have this number." Yan Lisan mysteriously stretched out a palm and spread it out to Li Tiancheng.

"Three thousand?"

"Yes, this number is almost the same. According to your army organization plan, these three thousand people are organized into a regiment, an independent battalion, two battalions per regiment, one thousand people per battalion, one regiment is an infantry regiment, and the independent battalion is an artillery battalion, but the artillery is still in production and has not yet been in place."

"In addition, they are still called militia."

At this time, the formal military organization that can be said in public can only be the militia. No matter how many people Li Tiancheng has, he is just the leader of the militia. However, he had previously secretly established a simple military committee based on the military system of later generations, and there was no complicated organizational process. Of course, he became the chairman. Yan Lisan was the vice chairman of the Military Commission and the chief of staff. Li Tiancheng was the commander-in-chief. There were no other members at the moment. There were only two commanders who were barely appointed, and he was going to keep the quota first before talking about it. This would also be a forward-looking decision.

This is to make preliminary preparations for the future expansion of the troops. Now, I have not dared to organize military organizations with great fanfare. If it is brought to the table, it is illegal and it is easy to be targeted. This is only the result preliminarily formulated by Li Tiancheng, Yan Lisan and Tan Jianye. The people below are not clear about it.

Li Tiancheng knew that the current battalion sentry system of the Qing government's new army was not conducive to unified command, so the army's organization was temporarily referred to the organization of the People's Liberation Army in the future. However, the number of battalion-level units was temporarily maintained at about one thousand. The combat units were composed of army, division, brigade, regiment, battalion, platoon, and squad. Currently, only 3,000 people were collected. The number of troops under the regiment and battalion-level units and weapons were divided based on this. However, for external and subordinate soldiers, they were still called militia and militia units. In terms of training, they were arranged according to the quotas, companies, and battalion-level units. The tactical training project was guided by the military class trainees who graduated from Zhenhua. The training content was richer than that of ordinary militia.

The domestic militia generally have shorter training time than the regular army, the training intensity is weaker, and the training content is relatively simple. It is just a simple event such as exercise, running, practicing shooting and target shooting. The instructors who lead the team are not of high level. They often go home to farm or work as small workers when they have nothing to do. They are not formal professional soldiers.

The militia soldiers recruited by Li Tiancheng were initially selected according to the standards of professional soldiers, strictly physical conditions, psychological and intellectual qualities. In addition to training, they are not allowed to engage in other production activities. There are also many training intensity and training items. Every day, long and short running, push-ups, throwing grenades, fighting, crawling forward, crossing barbed wire, climbing over obstacles and other training items are essential. In addition, good military tactical qualities training and advanced weapon equipment, such militia troops are much stronger than ordinary militias, which is also what Li Tiancheng needs to prepare.

The elite platoon was adapted into a guard platoon at this time, specifically responsible for Li Tiancheng's safety. Liu Zhiguo was appointed as the platoon leader, and the other three captains became squad leaders. In addition to the four small teams, a batch of fresh blood was added to the people brought by Li Tiancheng from Yan Lisan. The guard platoon was expanded to 60 people. The specially selected people with good quality of soldiers were responsible for Li Tiancheng's safety. Yan Lisan had another guard platoon with more than 30 people responsible for the defense work.

"You guy is doing a good job. Our underground arsenal has been expanded several times. We already have the Type 81 rifle series, and several new types of cannons are about to be produced. With these three thousand men and advanced equipment, more than 10,000 Qing soldiers in Jiangsu are probably not our opponents."

"Why are our rifles called 81st style?"

"It's just a title, with commemorative significance and no practical significance." When Yan Lisan asked, Li Tianzhi immediately remembered the scenes of later generations and felt a little emotional. The reason why he maintained the name of the 81 rifle was to commemorate and respect for later generations.

"In addition, the confidentiality work of the arsenal must be done well. The confidentiality agreement between production workers and technicians must not be relaxed. These people need to strictly select the character from the factory positions, and make up people with high quality to provide them with special dormitories. They should not go out at will. When they go home to visit relatives, they need to approve their superiors. It is best to send someone to accompany them home. In order to avoid leaks as much as possible, we must make up our minds. For leaks, we must be punished with serious crimes, and kill them if necessary!" Li Tiancheng was also a little worried that the matter of privately building arms would be leaked, so he emphasized.

"Before joining the team, people in the team must also sign confidentiality agreements, strengthen education, and strictly manage them. Once they join the team, they are not allowed to leave the team privately. They must follow the management model of regular troops. People must also accompany them when they go home to visit relatives. You cannot talk about training content, firearms, weapons and equipment outside, otherwise they will be executed by military law!"

"Confidentiality is the top priority, and we must not relax at all. After all, we are still secretly creating weapons and equipment for the time being."
