Chapter 641 Melting the Ice
The plot of the movie was carefully considered from many aspects, taking into account the current situation and the audience's acceptance.

Be as restrained as possible.

The actual situation is far more cruel and inhumane than what is reflected in the movie.

Even so, many of the audience in the premiere hall could not bear it and left. The older audience could bear it a little better, but nearly one-fifth of the young audience left.

The movie directed by Shen Santong did not leave the audience with an iceberg that was difficult to melt. Maybe that's how history is, but people today have to move forward after all.

As the main movie ended, the screen went black for a moment and then lit up again.

A familiar melody sounded, the melody of "Dislocated Time and Space", the second theme song of "Happy Birthday 2".

The singing started.

That year you were the same age as me

Guarding the book spine with lead type and maple leaves
The smoke swallowed up the last happy words on the invitation

You turned around and pushed me towards the gap of life
I heard thousands of cries falling to the ground
The cold air dyed the city walls into blood

You taught me to count my heartbeats and breathe among the corpses
Looking for a glimmer of life

Jin-Cha-Ji Third Division Arsenal.

A young figure appeared on the screen.

Lu Shuisheng was busy.

With the guidance of his brother and the exposure to printing work, he continued to study and learn to read in order to make progress. He found an organization in Maqun Town, Anhui Province, which was within the activity area of ​​the Second Division of the New Fourth Army.

From 1938 to 1940, he participated in the transformation of the firing pin of the Hanyang-made rifle in the Huainan base area, learned a lot of knowledge, and mastered the quenching technology.

The design of movable type detonator coding molds greatly improved the efficiency of printing batch numbers of grenades in border areas.

Lu Shuisheng was often confused, but he could never forget the nightmarish massacre in Nanjing and always remembered what his brother told him.

When he couldn't sleep at night, he would look out the window at the night sky.

In 1940, after investigation.

Lu Shuisheng joined the party.

1941 years.

The Military Construction of the Anti-Japanese Base Areas pointed out: "The Kuomintang has not issued a single bullet for two years, and it is likely that they will issue very few in the future."

The Eighth Route Army advocated self-reliance, so when they ran out of bullets, they would pick up shell casings and reload them.

After the Japanese army discovered this, they strengthened their control over bullet shells. The Eighth Route Army Ammunition Factory began to try to make their own bullet shells, and found ways to overcome any difficulties.

The raw material of the cartridge case is brass, which is a composite of copper and zinc, and requires a group of technical personnel with experience in metal forging.

Relying on the organizational policy instructions in March 1941, the "South-to-North Workers Transfer" plan was implemented to transport skilled workers from the South to the North.

Lead type printing requires mastery of lead-antimony alloys and the smelting of movable type alloys. There is a temperature difference between this and brass cartridge casting, but the process principles are the same.

The mold making expertise is also the same and can be transferred to the repair of cartridge case stamping molds, and the type engraving accuracy level is more precise than the 7.9mm cartridge case tolerance.

Zinc plate making technology is widely used in Nanjing's printing industry, and Lu Shuisheng also has practical experience in the physical properties of zinc.

Lu Shuisheng, who had mastered the relevant knowledge, was naturally within the mobilization scope, and Lu Shuisheng then came to Jin-Cha-Ji.

I look up at the starry sky that you have seen

Embrace each other again through the bloody night
The night sky reflects your last smile
I understand

I look up at the starry sky that you have seen

The ground under your feet has changed time and space

The unfulfilled dream you left in the wind
In the heart, in the heart
Lu Shuisheng is only 19 years old.

The workers in this arsenal are all young, with an average age of only 22.

Some of them have high technical skills, while others have low technical skills, but there is no doubt that they are proactive, passionate and not afraid of sacrifice.

Starting from 1941, the Eighth Route Army not only purchased copper coins, but also ancient copper coins.

Because ancient copper coins contain a lot of zinc, they can be heated and refined. However, zinc vapor is prone to explosion when heated, so this process is very dangerous.

As a technical backbone, Lu Shuisheng achieved a key technological breakthrough. He used the principle of zinc vapor condensation in ceramic tubes to invent the "layered crucible zinc smelting method", which increased the zinc smelting rate of ancient coins from 58% to 72%.

For a shell, hammer after hammer struck the copper coin;

In order to ignite the gunpowder, the skin was cracked by the homemade sulfuric acid generator made by the clay pot;
The handles of the scissors used by the women workers in the arsenal were worn out for the sake of smokeless powder;

In order to protect their comrades, some workers quietly hid in a corner and used simple equipment to dismantle the Japanese cartridges. If they exploded, they would die alone.
I raised my hand and took the blue shirt
The code is our promise
You said don't look back, just run towards the dawn
The salt under the ruins has not melted into tears. How I wish I could show you this land.
Spring fields bloom in the midst of artillery ammunition
Steel and electricity form an unbending backbone

The mountains and rivers are clear
They are not afraid of sacrifice, all they do is to ensure a peaceful and peaceful country.

On the screen.

The magical realism elements appear again, this time as the resonance and roar of the long river of history.

The palaces of the powerful Han, Tang and Ming dynasties were reduced to dust, and their armies were wiped out.

Japan, which once bowed down to China, sheathed its fangs, and sent envoys to China to learn, now comes to massacre the Chinese.

In any case, the Chinese must be organized. If they are scattered like a pile of sand, they will only allow others to slaughter them.

Lu Shuisheng's face on the screen began to blur.

At this moment, it is him and not him.

Perhaps no one knows their specific names today.

Under extremely difficult circumstances, these people produced smokeless gunpowder, bullets, rifles, and grenade launchers.

Among the few homemade bullets of the Eighth Route Army soldiers were the Wuzhu coins of the Han Dynasty, the Kaiyuan Tongbao coins of the Tang Dynasty, and the Hongwu Tongbao coins of the Ming Dynasty.

Historical fragments emerge, some of which are taken from historical movies such as Santong Entertainment's "Red Cliff" and "Li Shimin", as well as other domestic TV series.

Every ancient bronze coin reflects the most prosperous era of China.

They followed the Han army led by Wei Qing and Huo Qubing in the expedition against the Xiongnu, followed the Tang army led by Li Jing in the extermination of the Turks, and followed the Ming army in the fight against the Japanese pirates in Korea.

At this moment, in 1942, these ancient coins were refined and followed the Eighth Route Army to fight, turning into bullets and shooting at the invaders.

In an era without industry, in a country with a devastated economy, soldiers rushed towards the enemy with swords in hand in order to grab a few weapons and ammunition. Many people sacrificed their lives for a bullet.

Every inch of river is soaked in blood.

In the face of this army, the mistakes of history will never be repeated. Never again will the Japanese invaders seize the weapons and ammunition of the National Army and use them as the main equipment on the front line. Never again will there be no logistics but still be invincible.

Magical realism begins to come to an end.

I look up at the starry sky that you have seen

Reunited after a century of war

The peach blossoms at Qixia Temple are in full bloom at this moment
I understand

I look up at the starry sky that you have seen

The earth beneath our feet sings the song of new life

The unfulfilled dream you left in the wind
In the heart, in the heart
No need to rely on magic anymore, no need to rely on gods and Buddhas anymore!
The destiny of the Chinese people is in control of themselves!
The perspective of the movie rises, the long river of time rolls forward, and the long river of history is vast and powerful.

The darkness of the sea of ​​blood during the Nanjing Massacre, the pale coldness of the snowfields of the Northeast, and the azure waves of the southern islands.

Shouting in helplessness, surviving in despair, the unyielding spirit of "the Anti-Japanese United Army will continue to exist from now on, and our descendants will never stop fighting", the 23 years of persistence of the Qiongya Column, only left the hard struggle of 26 soldiers.

A team regrouped in Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia, liberated the pale and cold snowfields of the Northeast, fought from the cold zone of the motherland to the tropics, and penetrated the whole of China to join forces with the Qiongya Corps.

There was also a group of disciplined soldiers on the peninsula who defeated the strongest industrial country at that time.

Invincible and victorious!

The dignity and pride that had been wiped out by foreign enemies over the past hundred years have now returned to the people of this land.

After the war, a primary industrial system was established through the joint efforts of countless fronts.

It was also a group of people, countless people, who established a vibrant market economy after the reform and opening up.

A nation is sometimes glorious and sometimes decadent. A great nation can rise from the ruins, rise from adversity, and walk out of darkness.

There has never been any savior, nor any divine emperor!
Only the people, countless people, organized people!
At the end of the song, a child sings:
The maple leaves of Zijin Mountain turn golden again

Who is invited to the wedding banquet at Taiping South Road?
Brother, your blood and tears have turned into Jinling water
The mountains and rivers are clear
Ending theme song.

It is the silhouette of Nanjing city with thousands of lights.

A white-haired old man gazed at the starry sky.

The five-minute ending song touched the hearts of all the audience. Shen Santong was gentle after all. He melted the ice in the audience's hearts and turned them into sobbing tearful people.

In the plays controlled by Shen Santong, the emotions are always on the rise, because history has already determined that the dead are gone and people today cannot forgive on behalf of the dead, but the living must continue to move forward after all.
