The back door of my house can last until the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 31 Plate Armor and Spears

chu chu chu ~
The chimney of the diesel engine continued to emit black smoke, which frightened the people to shrink back one by one, watching carefully.

Where have these people seen this?Suddenly, who doesn't panic?
If Sun Jie was not still there, these people would probably have run away long ago.

Chen Hu who was standing not far away swallowed a mouthful of saliva, with a trace of cold sweat on his forehead.

Although he had already prepared himself mentally, he was still taken aback.

Carefully walked in front of Sun Jie and looked at the well drilling machine in operation.

"My lord, what is this?" Chen Hu asked cautiously.

Sun Jie controlled the operation of the well drilling machine, without raising his head, he said: "This is a well drilling machine, which is used to dig water wells. You ask the second child to lead the people to watch from a distance, and don't run around. You and the old man Three, come here and give me a hand!"

"The things in the fairy family are just different!"

Muttering in a low voice, Chen Hu hurriedly ran to a distance and conveyed Sun Jie's arrangement.

He brought Liang Wu to Sun Jie's side in a hurry, and was always on standby.

"You two don't move around without my order, what do you do if I tell you to do it!" Sun Jie shouted.

"understand!"

Chen Hu and Liang Wu replied, and stood beside Sun Jie attentively waiting for the errand.

Time passed slowly, Sun Jie stopped the drilling machine, and raised the drill bit and the connecting rod behind it to the ground.

The soil brought out was piled up by the mouth of the well, and Chen Hu took the shovel and shoveled the soil to the side.

After the upper link was reconnected, the drill bit was pushed into the wellhead again.

Driven by the diesel engine, the drill bit runs stably, and the newly connected connecting rod also begins to descend at a constant speed.

Generally speaking, when drilling wells in rural areas, a well can be completed in as little as 40 minutes at the fastest, and most of them take about three to four hours on average.

This is the first time for Sun Jie to get on the sedan chair, and she has been studying the operation manual of the well drilling machine for the past few days. The contents above are already familiar by heart, but the actual operation is still a bit rusty.

Fortunately, nothing went wrong. It took a long time, but the well was dug well.

Water is needed when drilling wells. Sun Jie got some water from Hyundai before, and now there is still some leftover, so he used all his brains to dig wells.

Anyway, the wells are almost finished, and the water is not bad.

Leading the people to push the drilling machine aside, Sun Jie called the people around.

Standing in front of the installed manual water pump, said loudly: "This thing is called a manual water pump. Press it down hard, and the water in the well will flow out. Remember, before pressing the water, pour a ladle of water into it first." , so faster!"

As Sun Jie spoke, he began to demonstrate to the common people.

First pour a ladle of water into it, then hold the rocker with both hands, pressing it up and down.

A stream of clear water flows out from the water outlet opposite the handle.

"That's all right? My God, this is too fast. Who can drill a well so fast? And this pressure water pump is so easy to use. After such a pressure, the water will come out!"

Chen Hu, who was still holding a shovel in his hand, looked at the water pump under Sun Jie with a look of shock.

Zhao Dading and Liang Wu also had the same expressions, standing in front of the people, bending over, squinting, looking at them with novelty.

The eyes of the people around were wide open, and various expressions of horror, shock, and surprise appeared on their faces.

"Is this the water?"

"My dear mother, is this a fairy spell?"

"I've lived for 20 years, and this is the first time I've seen such a thing!"

"It's too fast to dig a well. This is the way of a god!"

The common people's discussion was one after another, and they all pushed forward one by one, wanting to have a closer look at this miraculous thing.

These people have lived for so many years, when have they seen such a novel thing?
Sun Jie quickly stopped them and asked Chen Hu and the others to lead the people back.

Although the pressurized water pump has been installed, it has not been completely reinforced. The wellhead is covered with several equipped concrete slabs, and the pressurized water pump is just placed on top of it. It does not matter if one or two people stand next to the pressurized water pump. If there are too many, problems will inevitably arise.

After people disperse, mix the cement and sand brought together with the well drilling machine before, and add water to stir on the spot.

This is a physical job, and Sun Jie handed it over to Chen Hu and the others.

Chen Hu had never seen cement before. Although he was curious, he didn't ask any further questions. He just stirred it vigorously.

When the mixing was almost done, Sun Jie started to reinforce the wellhead with a trowel in one hand and the bricks and tiles he had brought in the other.

A few more pieces were added to the sealed concrete slab, and the surrounding edges were sealed with cement and bricks to prevent movement.

Finally, cement tiles are used to reinforce the tripod of the pressurized water pump and fix it to the concrete slab.

After the cement dries, it can be used normally.

This concrete slab has thick steel bars inside and is fully capable of handling everyday use.

Sun Jie had almost never done brickwork, but fortunately, it was not difficult to seal the well.

After finishing the work, he put the trowel in his hand on the ground, wiped the sweat from his head, took a deep breath, and said, "Okay, let's stop here today, in another three or two days, when the cement dries completely It can be used!"

The people around and Chen Hu didn't know what cement was, so they just wrote down the word silently.

At dusk, Sun Jie returned with his people.

After a busy day, after eating, I lay down on the bed and slept until the next day.

After a simple breakfast, Sun Jie led the team to the next marker.

This time, Sun Jie did not drill the well himself, but taught Chen Hu and the others how to use the well drilling machine.

A water well has already been drilled, which is enough for these people to use now, and there is no need to get water here from modern times. The pressure is much less all of a sudden, and Sun Jie is not so urgent.

There is not only one marked point with water, so many wells depend on Sun Jie alone, not to mention whether he can come here in a hurry, he will be exhausted to death if he is tired.

Teach Chen Hu and others the drilling technology, and then get a few drilling rigs from Hyundai, and start working at the same time, the efficiency will increase exponentially, and Sun Jie's pressure will be much less.

Chen Hu and the others were illiterate, and they didn't understand the words on the buttons of the well drilling machine at all, so they could only rely on rote memorization to memorize each button.

The process was naturally painful, and it took about three or four days to drill a well before seeing water.

Fortunately, Chen Hu and the others have almost remembered it, so they are worthy of the time.

Those places with water were found by Sun Jie with Chen Hu and the others. There were special marks on them, so they could find them too.

Two more well drilling machines were brought in from Hyundai, and some building materials such as cement bricks and tiles were added.

The next time is to dig a well. Sun Jie has nothing to do for the time being, and he returned to modern times.

Sitting in the supermarket, Sun Jie took a pen and paper and wrote the plan.

Potatoes, this thing must be bought, there is a well over there, now is the time to plant potatoes, and the potatoes must be planted in the ground before the weather passes.

The land over there is very barren, and chemical fertilizers are indispensable. If you want to have a good harvest of food, you must have this thing.

There are also pesticides, which cannot be ignored.

In recent years, there have been some evil winds blowing from nowhere on the Internet, saying that "no pesticides", "no chemical fertilizers" and "hormone-free" food are original ecological green food, saying that eating this kind of food is good to eat, but those with pesticides Foods with chemical fertilizers and hormones are harmful foods and should be discarded.

Those who spread such rumors are neither bad nor stupid.

If pesticides were not used in this world, it is estimated that half of the people will starve to death.

It is not the same thing for the common people to live in tents all the time. We have to build houses for them first.

For the house, buy some tools first, let them build the earth house by themselves first.

After a while of busy work, we will build a brick kiln and burn bricks to make tiles.

As for moving bricks, tiles and cement from modern times to the late Ming Dynasty, Sun Jie didn't think about it at all.

A small amount is okay, too much is not enough.

For a family of more than 300 people, if all of them are built with bricks and tiles and cement houses, the amount of cement bricks and tiles needed will be a huge number, not to mention whether Sun Jie is tired or not, and the energy of Jinmen may not be able to support it.

The three most common bungalows in rural areas cost about 3 yuan in red bricks.

According to the results of Sun Jie's statistics last time, the 80 people are almost [-] households.

Even if these more than 80 households only need three one-story houses, based on the calculation of 240 households, each household has [-] bricks, which is [-] million red bricks, which does not include building materials such as reinforced concrete.

If these things are added, it is estimated that the Golden Gate energy will be wiped out in one go.

Even if Jinmen had enough energy, Sun Jie didn't dare to take the risk.

Every transmission requires energy, and good steel must be spent wisely. We should produce those necessities, those high-value, and profitable things. These things can be manufactured in the late Ming Dynasty, and there is no need to start from modern times.

The same is true for food. With the increase of the population, the food consumed every day is also an astronomical figure. It is okay if there are fewer people. If there are more people, it may not be able to handle it, and it will only waste the energy of Jinmen.

Besides, those are ordinary people, men and women, old and young, and the conscripts will definitely not be exhausted. What else can the rest do without farming?You can't raise them for nothing, let them have nothing to do!
At present, the population is small, so it is okay for Sun Jie to carry it a few times. In the future, the population will increase, and it will be unrealistic to carry food like this.

There are also custom-made weapons and equipment from Fan Xiaopeng. By the way, I need to buy a bigger house, preferably with a yard.

There are too many things to buy now. Although the entrance of the supermarket is big, there are many people coming and going, so it is not a problem.

Mr. Sun Jie Lin wrote a lot, and marked things according to their priorities.

Potatoes, chemical fertilizers and pesticides are easy to buy, they are available at any time, and you can buy them at any time, so don't worry too much about it for a while.

The most urgent thing is to go to Fan Xiaopeng's first to see how those guys are doing.

When he arrived at Fan Xiaopeng's house, Sun Jie received an extremely warm welcome. Lao Fan and Fan Xiaopeng personally welcomed him in, sat in the living room, and served him with good tea and cigarettes.

The father and son accompanied Sun Jie, for fear of neglecting him.

After taking a few puffs from Fan Xiaopeng's cigarettes, he asked, "How many of the things that you were asked to make before have been made now? This time I am in a hurry to use them, and I will take as much as you make!"

Fan Xiaopeng said: "Those things are too simple to build. It has only been a few days, and the horsepower has been fully activated. There are more than 300 sets made!"

Sun Jie thought about it for a while, more than 300 sets are enough for current use.

There are only about 100 refugees there, and there are more than [-] young and strong. These things are still abundant.

"How about this, take me there to take a look first." Sun Jie pressed the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray on the table, and stood up.

"Dad, you drink tea here now, and I'll take Brother Sun over there."

Fan Xiaopeng said a few words to his father, and then took Sun Jie out of the living room.

The warehouse is just outside the living room, and all the sundries in it have been cleaned up, and they are used to store the plate armor and so on.

Fan Xiaopeng was also considerate. Each set of plate armor was carefully tied with hemp rope. Although it was placed directly on the ground, it looked very neat.

Taking Sun Jie into the warehouse, he squatted on the ground and untied the hemp rope on a set of plate armor.

He picked up the plate armor, gestured in front of him, and said, "Brother Sun, I asked my dad to build it according to your request. See if this will work!"

Sun Jie brought this pair of plate armor over and tried it on himself.

It feels good, and the protection is OK.The size and tightness can also be adjusted at will. Except for the rough appearance, there are no major problems in the rest, which does not affect the use.

The materials used are also abundant, with a thickness of about three millimeters. They are made of hardened steel plates after heat treatment and quenching. They may not be able to stop modern advanced firearms, but in the late Ming era, they can almost block any firearms and bows and arrows.

After trying the plate armor, Fan Xiaopeng took Sun Jie to try the helmet again.

The helmet is placed not far from the plate armor. It looks similar to the eight-petal hat of the iron pointed helmet of the Ming Dynasty. It looks like an iron straw hat.

Sun Jie picked up one, tried it on his head, it was okay, almost.

"I don't know what brother Sun wants, so I built it like this. It's quick to make, and the molds are easy to make!" Fan Xiaopeng said holding a helmet.

Sun Jie nodded and said: "Almost, this is fine, very good, and we will make it like this in the future!
By the way, what about the long gun?where? "

"The spear is in the back yard. It's too long to fit here!"

Sun Jie, wearing a helmet and plate armor, followed Fan Xiaopeng to the backyard.

As soon as I walked into the backyard, I saw a large group of spears leaning against the wall of the backyard.

He went forward, pulled out one, and weighed it in his hand.

The appearance of the spear was similar to that of an ordinary spear. The barrel of the spear was made of wood, with thin steel bars in the middle for reinforcement. It was more than four meters long and nearly five meters long. It was not very heavy, and Sun Jie could move it freely.

Looking at Sun Jie who was playing with a spear, Fan Xiaopeng said: "This spear is [-] meters long. I haven't made this before. I checked it on the Internet. I was not sure how long it was, so I took a one that was neither too long nor too short. number."

According to the Ming Dynasty military book "Records of Military Training", the Ming Dynasty's spears mainly had two lengths, one was a short spear, about [-] meters; the other was a long spear, about [-] meters.

In addition, the length of the spear used is different in different places.The white-armed soldiers led by the famous female general Qin Liangyu in the late Ming Dynasty were equipped with spears that reached a terrifying [-] meters.

The reason why a spear is called a spear is because it is long.

Spears and spears were two different weapons in the pre-Qin period. Later, with the development of ironware, these two things gradually merged into one. There is almost no difference except for the different names.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was nothing wrong with calling it a spear, and it was fine to call it a spear.

Sun Jie was wearing an iron helmet and plate armor, holding a long spear, and looked a little bit airy.

After playing for a while, he put down the spear in his hand and nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, this thing is very good, I am very satisfied!"
