784: Drawings for a chainsaw or diesel chainsaw.

Xiao Niannian watched the Team Members busy themselves, calculating where the trees would fall.

"This tree is about to fall, be careful..."

"Those in front, get out of the way..."

"Bang."

The tree crashed to the ground, and the Soldiers immediately stepped forward to chop off the branches.

"This tree is too long. Chop it into two sections before carrying it down..."

Captain Chen and Political Commissar Li also arrived nearby. Looking at the busy Team Members, Captain Chen said with a chuckle.

"Coming to Heilongjiang Province allows the Team Members to experience more things, like cutting down trees, training in the mountains, and learning how to handle various situations in extremely cold weather... This is excellent for them. If they encounter the same problems later, they will know how to deal with them..."

Political Commissar Li listened to Captain Chen and nodded in agreement.

"Old Chen, you are right. I think it was great that we previously had them help harvest rice and farm. Who knows what they might encounter in the future. They should also learn repairs and maintenance—our Soldiers ought to be versatile talents..."

"Look at Little Lu and Little Qin; they are examples of versatile talents."

Captain Chen nodded in agreement.

"Speaking of versatile talents, I still think Niannian is the most outstanding. Having someone like her in our Special Forces Brigade really brings a lot of glory to our Brigade. Look at the Special Forces Brigade here in Heilongjiang Province; the training base is so small, and although many pieces of equipment are new, some of them don't meet proper standards..."

Captain Chen and Political Commissar Li laughed as they discussed the situation between the two Special Forces Brigades.

"You're right. Our Special Forces Brigade, not to mention the various training grounds, has a mess hall much bigger than theirs. We also have so many farms; we are self-sufficient in chickens, ducks, fish, geese, and rabbits..."

"And we raise so many pigs..."

"The mushrooms raised by our Special Forces Brigade can supply our own Production Brigade for many meals every month..."

After visiting the place over the past few days, they realized everything was far inferior to their Special Forces Brigade.

The brother unit added extra dishes for them these past few days, and they thanked them warmly. They didn't mention that the food at their Special Forces Brigade was better.

However, they didn't eat lavishly every day. For more than half of the month, they just had the standard three dishes and one soup. They only had occasional extra meals: during training, during rest periods, and after teams returned from missions.

They would also have extra meals during holidays and the New Year.

Xiao Niannian watched them cut trees using saws and axes and found it too slow.

By this time, foreign chainsaws and diesel saws should have already been produced, and some were selling very well abroad.

Looking at this, Xiao Niannian decided to draw up blueprints for a diesel saw and a chainsaw, which she would then hand over to the Military Factory to produce some samples.

Perhaps they could prove useful.

Just using manual saws like this was too slow!

Xiao Niannian had previously disassembled and studied these machines, so she was very familiar with these tools and equipment.

"Ten vehicles are already loaded."

Zhou Rui spoke loudly into a megaphone.

"Gather up everything you have... you can prepare to head back to the team."

Xiao Niannian dragged a log and placed it nearby.

The Team Members had set up a mechanism so that when the logs were placed on it, they would slide down, thus requiring less manpower to drag them... Otherwise, carrying every single log down would consume much more labor.

After the Team Members dragged the remaining logs and branches down, they assembled the team and ran back to the Special Forces Brigade.

Xiao Niannian also spotted some animals in the mountains earlier.

There were rabbits, Wild Chicken, and some animals unique to the North.

Captain Niu and Political Commissar Ma stood at the warehouse entrance, chuckling as they watched the Team Members unload the timber from the vehicles.

"Sure enough, there is strength in numbers. It used to take a day or two, but now we've managed over ten vehicle loads in half a day..."

"This firewood will be ready to use after a few days..."

Captain Niu and Political Commissar Ma looked at Captain Chen and Political Commissar Li.

"Old Chen, do you plant trees when spring arrives over there?"

"Of course we plant trees. After felling trees in the mountains, we must replant some. Otherwise, if we cut them down every year without replanting, the reduction in mountain trees will easily lead to soil erosion, which will cause many problems later on..."

"Oh, you crude fellow, you actually know about this?" Captain Niu teased with a laugh.

"Who are you looking down on? I'm a high school graduate, and I'm learning everything now; I know a little bit of everything," Captain Chen snorted and replied testily.

"You've been here for a few days; what do you think of our place?"

Hearing Captain Niu's question, Captain Chen shook his head.

"So-so."

He didn't want to say anything unpleasant. His speech was much more polite now; unlike before, his words could infuriate people, and he often got into arguments.

Captain Niu had never been to the Yangcheng Special Forces Brigade, but he had heard many things about the Yangcheng Special Forces Brigade.

Qiao Yan had previously reported to him about the Yangcheng Special Forces Brigade and had written a detailed report.

Therefore, Captain Niu still knew a lot about the Yangcheng Special Forces Brigade.

"Although the conditions of our Production Brigade are still somewhat different from yours, I believe that in another two or three years, our Production Brigade will definitely catch up to yours."

Captain Niu felt envious when he thought about the tens of millions of yuan in donations the Yangcheng Special Forces Brigade had received.

Could that Big Boss perhaps take a look at their Heilongjiang Special Forces Brigade?

He heard that personnel from the Yangcheng Special Forces Brigade saved that Big Boss from gunfire.

He had to admit that the people from the Yangcheng Special Forces Brigade had good skills and good luck.

Captain Chen looked at Captain Niu's expression and smiled.

Over the past two or three years, he had seen these expressions on the faces of people from many brother units. Such things could not be envied!

Their luck was simply good!

Captain Chen also knew clearly that it wasn't just luck; it was also because of Little Xiao and Little Lu.

After another half hour of busy work, the warehouse was fully stocked.

"Your task this afternoon is to chop this wood and stack it here..."

Zhou Rui said loudly into the megaphone.

"Mealtime! Everyone assemble outside the mess hall."

Hearing that it was time to eat, Xiao Niannian quickly walked toward the mess hall.

After walking for a bit, she saw Shen Yan walking among the crowd, and Xiao Niannian smelled blood.

"Shen Yan."

"Present."

"Step forward."

Hearing Xiao Niannian call him, Shen Yan immediately stepped out and ran toward her.

"Did you hurt your hand?"

Shen Yan grinned.

"Just a scratch, it's nothing."

Shen Yan had seen a Heilongjiang Province Team Member fall, and when he went to rescue them, he fell underneath and injured his hand slightly.

"Go back and apply medicine."

"Mhm."

Xiao Niannian and Shen Yan walked toward the Medical Team.
