doomsday survival

Chapter 287 Double Happiness
What Feng Kuang said is indeed correct, the road is walked step by step, and the meal is eaten in one bite. In the next half month, Shi Jian spent time and time again in disappointment. The shell of the grenade he cast has been cast. There are thousands of them, but the products produced are still white cast iron, forcing Shi Jian to cast mines.Of course, more cast iron is returned to the furnace and used as raw materials for re-smelting.

Looking at the piles of grenades and mine shells, Shi Jian smiled and said to Feng Kuang: "Old Feng, it seems that you need to make more explosives."

Feng Kuang pursed his lips and said, "It's not a problem, anyway, there are still plenty of materials in stock, and this much will be enough for us."

"See if this works," Shi Jian said to Feng Kuang, "I will bring some people here to continue smelting iron, and you will also lead some people to make explosives, and then fill these things, and put the iron at the intersection. The defense is arranged first."

Feng Kuang thought for a while, and said: "The defense really needs to be done first. Although there are no zombies coming over now, I can't guarantee that there won't be any in the future. I will take people to do it now. As for the candidates," he looked around at the sky. The people next to the stove said, "Fengchen participated in the production of explosives last time, he must bring them with him, and for others, just pick some careful people. There is no room for sloppy work in these jobs."

Shi Jian turned these people around in his mind, and he had a candidate in his mind, and said to Feng Kuang: "Zuo Qian and Zhang Xiang are good people, very careful, let them go to help you, and then call Li Qing, Zhang Rui and Gao Chao, are six people enough for you?"

Feng Kuang has gotten to know these people pretty well these days, and seeing that the people Shi Jian pointed out are very careful people, he nodded in agreement and said, "That's it, six people are barely enough. , and you need more manpower here, all of which are heavy physical labor."

Seeing that Feng Kuang agreed with the candidate he proposed, Shi Jian called the six people over and said to them: "From today onwards, you don't need to be here anymore to help Elder Feng make explosives. It's very dangerous, if you don't want to go, you can bring it up now."

When they heard that they were going to make explosives, these people were very interested. They had heard of the power of explosives even if they had never seen it before. They couldn't help but get a little excited when they learned that such an important thing was actually made by themselves. care about the danger.

Seeing that no one refused, Shi Jian continued, "Since everyone agrees, after we go, we must obey Elder Feng's instructions in everything, and there must be no carelessness in the operation process. If anyone is careless, then he should not be here. Here, you can go back to the cottage directly, and I will study with the elders about the specific punishment."

Seeing that Shi Jian spoke so seriously, they knew that Shi Jian's words were not a joke, and immediately agreed in unison.

Only then did Feng Kuang take over the conversation, and said: "Boss Shi told you all just now, and I won't say much. There is only one request. Ask if you don't understand. You must never pretend to understand. It’s a trivial matter that you blow up yourself, but it’s a major matter that everyone is implicated, you know?”

"Understood!" Six people replied in unison.

Feng Kuang was very satisfied with their attitude, nodded approvingly, turned around and said to Shi Jian: "In that case, let's start working now, you can take them here to continue iron smelting."

"Okay, you all pay attention to safety." Shi Jian agreed.

In this way, Feng Kuang took Feng Chen, Zuo Qian and other six people to the chemical factory, and started a new round of explosives production, while Shi Jian and the rest of the people drilled in the foundry workshop every day, constantly Analyze all possibilities.

Although both ironmaking and steelmaking are smelted on the basis of iron, there seems to be no big difference, but there are still some differences.For steelmaking, more attention should be paid to the ratio of iron to carbon. The content of carbon in steel is much smaller than that of cast iron, because different ratios cause differences in the quality of steel and have a great impact on the steel itself.

Cast iron is relatively simpler, and you don't need to care too much about the ratio of iron to carbon.Carbon is graphitized in cast iron, and the quality of cast iron depends on the form of graphitized carbon, which in turn has a lot to do with temperature.At different temperatures, the form of graphite in cast iron is different, which directly determines the performance of cast iron.

The inability to measure the temperature was the biggest problem facing Shi Jian, so he had to fumble a little bit.Although they experienced failures again and again, Shi Jian and his team were not discouraged at all. Instead, their fighting spirit became stronger. Everyone expressed that they must overcome this difficulty.

After another week, the explosives at the chemical factory have started to be loaded, and Fengkuang has also started to research a new fuse in order to make the trigger more convenient. It is no longer the old earth-made time-delayed fuse. ask for it.

At dinner that day, Feng Kuang said to Shi Jian with a smile: "Shi Jian, a new fuse has been researched, just like the previous pull wire, just pull it and it will ignite."

Shi Jian also beamed with joy when he heard that, and said, "That's great, we can place the mines on the road first, so that there is an extra layer of protection, and it saves the need to send someone to watch every day."

Feng Kuang said with a smile: "That's not a problem, but I'm almost done here, why is there still no movement on your side, or you can just cast mines on me."

"Haha," Shi Jian also laughed loudly, and said to Feng Kuang, "Old Feng, you underestimate us too much, let me tell you, we have successfully cast pearlite!"

"Really? That's great, this is good things come in pairs!" Feng Kuang shouted.

This problem has been entangled with everyone for more than 20 days, and now it has finally been broken through, of course Fengkuang is also very happy.Immediately, he thought of another key question, is it a fluke this time or has he mastered the technology?Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to ask, "How did you get it out, and how did you solve it at the temperature?"

Shi Jian said to Feng Kuang: "This is all thanks to Wang Gang. His observation skills are really meticulous. These days, he finally summed up the color of molten iron at different temperatures. Today's experiment was really successful. From Lime."

In fact, his words did not have any derogatory meaning to Wang Gang, but he sincerely admired him.Wang Gang, who has been in charge of burning lime in the Changbai Tribe, is really good at this. Shi Jian did not expect that he could master the color change of molten iron in just over 20 days.

The most frustrating thing for Shi Jian is that when Wang Gang explained to him, Shi Jian didn't notice any difference. Anyway, his eyes were all red. In the end, Shi Jian wondered if he was colorblind.

However, Shi Jian didn't get too entangled in these things, instead he was very happy that someone could share his worries.After all, he is now the head of a department, and he is in charge of more than 200 people. Even in the industrial park, there are [-] people who need him to command and dispatch. Of course, he can't devote all his energy to ironmaking.

So Shi Jian directly appointed Wang Gang as the person in charge of the casting, and he had to do other things.For example, the laying of landmines starting tomorrow is one of them.

Now that both aspects have made great progress, Shi Jian is very happy. Before the dinner officially started, he immediately asked Feng Chen to fetch a few bottles of wine, and asked the kitchen to make some more dishes. Let's celebrate together , which won a round of warm applause.

Shi Jian raised his glass and stood up, saying: "Today is a day of double happiness. 50 years after the end of the world, we have not only successfully smelted cast iron, but also produced a batch of weapons by our own ability. It is a great thing for us, we will have greater production capacity and more self-protection ability in the future, which is enough to allow the Chang'an tribe to survive for a long time in the last days!"

Feng Kuang took the lead in applauding, and the others also continued to applaud, the scene was very enthusiastic.

Shi Jian pressed down with his left hand to stop everyone's enthusiasm for a moment, and then said: "What we have taken now is just a small step. I believe that in the near future, we will not only be able to smelt iron, but also be able to smelt iron." Steel! Our self-made weapons will not be limited to grenades and landmines, and the guns of the old era will reappear under our hands one by one. And these require the concerted efforts of all my colleagues here. As long as we can unite, Such a bright future is waving to us not far away!"

"it is good!"

"With Mr. Shi leading us, we will definitely achieve these goals!"

There was another burst of cheers.

"Now let's finish this glass of wine and toast to the longevity of our Chang'an tribe!" Shi Jian finally said.

Everyone drank the wine in the glass together and started today's dinner.Since arriving in the industrial park, everyone has never been as happy as today.Even on the day when the power supply was available, most of the people were novelty. Compared with today, they were in completely different states.

Seeing that everyone was so happy, they all toasted. Shi Jian didn't spoil everyone's happiness by saying that he had to be on duty at night. He secretly decided to work hard at night and go to be on duty in person.

Unexpectedly, he was still not used, and Meizi, who didn't drink alcohol, took over the duty. Since she got drunk once on the way to escape, Meizi had completely given up drinking, and today, as always, she replaced wine with tea.

Shi Jian was also happy to have someone to do it for him. After handing over the task of standing guard to Meizi, he told Meizi to rest at home during the day tomorrow, and went back to the room with Fengkuang to discuss the matter of planting landmines.

Based on the current situation, the two of them studied until midnight before they came up with a more feasible plan, planning to lay mines in the direction indicated on the map tomorrow morning.

　Ask for a monthly pass during the double period!Thank you Tiger Yue!
