At least 1,000 factories and enterprises including the Kim Jong Suk Pyongyang Silk Mill, the Pyongyang 326 Electric Wire Factory, the Ryongam Mine, the Unhung Mine, the Samsu Forestry Station and the Manpho Spinning Mill fulfilled their yearly assignments ahead of schedule. Rice-transplanting, maize-planting, weeding and so on were carried out qualitatively in right season thanks to the devoted efforts of the agricultural workers and with the support of the whole country and all the people, bringing about a bumper crop. The construction of the Huichon Power Station made rapid progress as nationwide efforts were focused on it to complete it till 2012. The soldier builders worked such a miracle as carrying out in a matter of a few months the amount of work that would have taken several years at an ordinary pace. The construction of the Kumyagang Power Station, the Ryesonggang Power Station, the Orangchon Power Station and the Paektusan Songun Youth Power Station also made brisk headway thanks to the dynamic drive of servicepersons, builders and members of the youth shock brigades, making it possible to complete them earlier than scheduled. Those engaged in reclaiming the tideland on Taegye Islet wound up in the main the gigantic nature-remaking project as vast as the West Sea Barrage. The construction of houses for 100,000 families made headway in Pyongyang under a grandiose plan for the construction of the capital city. The Nyongwon Power Station sprang up in the upper reaches of the River Taedong as a monumental structure in the era of Songun and went operational and there appeared the Taedonggang Tile Factory as a comprehensive centre for the production of building materials. Among those which started their operations are a new pit at the February 8 Jiktong Youth Coal Mine, the belt-conveyer inclined shaft at the Ryongdae Coal Mine, the heat ray reflection glass production process at the Taean Friendship Glass Factory. This period witnessed the appearance of modern buildings with all amenities for creating art works, performing activities and entertainment such as the North Hwanghae Provincial Art Theatre and the Songdowon Youth Open-Air Theatre. Many buildings including Mansudae Street, the Majon Hotel and the Sohung Gymnasium sprang up one after another to add shine to the era of Songun. The May 11 Smeltery was reconstructed on an expansion basis to be a model production unit impeccable in all aspects. The Kujang Fish Farm put breeding processes on a modern and scientific basis and boosted its capacity, opening a bright prospect of rapidly increasing the production of freshwater fish. Various provinces registered successes in the efforts to build new general food processing factories equipped with modern facilities relying on their locally available raw and other materials or rebuilt the existing factories following the example set by the Samilpho Special Products Factory. Scientists and technicians launched satellite Kwangmyongsong-2 by their own efforts and with their own technology, enabling the country to proudly rank itself among the countries capable of launching satellites. The CNC machine tool-building industry as exemplified by CNC-"Ryonha Machine" made its appearance like a comet before the world, powerfully demonstrating the spirit of Songun Korea dashing ahead toward a thriving nation on the basis of ultra modern science and technology. The members of the shock brigades of scientists and technicians and technical innovation shock brigades of factories and enterprises across the country made a lot of scientific inventions and realized more than 9,000 technical innovation proposals. This period also saw the production of such masterpieces as feature films "White Gem" (parts 1 and 2) and "The Country I Saw" (parts 2 and 3) and many other literary and art works.
