doomsday survival

Chapter 333 Two-pronged approach
Feng Kuang also rushed over, and although it was inconvenient to enter the delivery room, he still asked Shi Jian to take the baby out and read it for him, and Shi Jian would not object.

While looking at the sleeping child, Feng Kuang asked: "Have you decided on a name, do you want me to name it for you?"

Shi Jian pursed his lips and looked at the child, and said, "I've already thought about it."

Feng Kuang let out an "oh" in disappointment and asked, "What's your name?"

"Shi Qiong." Shi Jian said softly.

Feng Kuang was stunned for a moment, tears welled up in his eyes, and he said repeatedly: "Well, this name is good, Shi Jian, you have a heart." His tone of voice was a little choked up when he spoke.

"It's very good, both men and women can use it, and it's also to commemorate Lao Chen." Shi Jian said slowly.

"Old Chen Youling will be very happy, thank you," Feng Kuang raised his head and said, "I'll inform everyone to make everyone happy." After speaking, he hurried out.

The news of Shi Jian's happy son spread across the entire industrial park in an instant, and was transmitted back to the cottage through the radio, and the whole tribe was delighted.

The radio waves of congratulations spread from the cottage to the industrial park, bringing greetings and wishes.

Xia Rou, who was brought back to the cottage, kept making noises on the radio, insisting on coming here to see her nephew.

Fortunately, Feng Kuang was on the side of the radio station, and hurriedly stopped the little girl, lest she come over and cause trouble.But Feng Kuang still agreed to her, and after the mountain road was repaired, he drove to pick her up, which made her reluctantly agree.

Ever since having a son, Shi Jian, who has always felt indebted to Xia Qing, has devoted all his energy to taking care of Xia Qing's mother and son, not to mention other production work, even the development of mortars has been temporarily put on hold. .

Xia Qing's body recovered fairly well, and she was able to move freely after a week. Seeing that Shi Jian was still by her side, she said to Shi Jian, "Brother Jian, I have nothing to do now. Yes, Xiao Qiong is also very good, you should go to other things."

"Then how can it work? Let's talk about it after you are out of confinement." Shi Jian refused.

"Brother Jian," Xia Qing sat up, held Shi Jian's hand, and said, "Sister Hong and Ai Wa are here to help, and there is no shortage of manpower. There are more things on your side, not to ask Feng Chen and the others to go out Are you looking for humans? You also need to build roads, and you can’t do it without you.”

"Mr. Shi is here all the time. It just so happens that Feng Chen can stay with me for a few more days." Ai Wa said with a smile on the side.

Shi Jian was also a little moved by Xia Qing's words, indeed there are still a lot of things waiting for him to discuss, now he heard Ava's joke, he laughed and said: "Do you want Feng Chen to stay with you for a few more days? Let's talk about it when he comes back."

After entrusting Xia Qing's mother and son to Liu Hong and Ai Wa, Shi Jian devoted himself to intense work again.

After the successful test of the mortar, it can basically be put into use. For safety reasons, Shi Jian did not reduce the thickness of the barrel for the sake of lightness. He still used ten centimeter steel columns for processing, and produced three more.

In addition to the four mortars for Fengchen and Meizi's exploration teams, two mortars were left to strengthen the defense of the industrial park.

Compared with the cottage located in the deep mountains, the industrial park obviously needs more powerful firepower to deal with the possible zombies.

Cannonballs are the most difficult to manufacture. Although there are woodworking lathes to ensure that the size of the model is qualified, the sand molds made always have some flaws, resulting in a relatively low yield of cannonballs.

Like the Beiyang Navy, Shi Jian would never allow the situation where shells need to be filed before the battle.Therefore, each shell had to be strictly inspected by Shi Jian before being sent to Feng Kuang for refilling.

When the shells accumulated to one hundred rounds, Shi Jian brought Fengchen and Meizi to the test site and began to teach them how to use the mortar.

Shi Jian first taught Fengchen and Meizi the thumb distance measurement method, and then asked them to practice repeatedly to master it.

Then it was time to learn how to use the mortar.

In fact, Shi Jian has only fired once, and he is still exploring the use of mortars. The three of them should be learning together now.

Shi Jian conducted test shots at different angles, and then recorded the distance and corresponding angle of each bullet point, and engraved it on the ruler when he returned.

If it was only about firing shells, the mortar was still easy to learn. Feng Chen and Meizi quickly learned how to operate it.

However, if you want to achieve accurate hits, you must take into account external factors such as wind direction and wind speed, which requires continuous practice to accumulate experience.

Fortunately, although the yield of cannonballs is low, it can basically guarantee the practice of sealing dust and plums, and with the increase in the number of sand molds made, the accuracy is getting higher and higher, and the yield is also greatly improved.

Shi Jian saw that Feng Chen and the two had basically mastered the use of the mortar, so he told them to pay attention to safety, strengthen practice, and strive to be proficient in using it before setting off.

Let Fengchen and Meizi continue to familiarize themselves with the mortar, Shi Jian temporarily stopped the research on the mortar, and began to try to repair various vehicles.

Although Shi Jian has very low requirements for the road to be built, as long as it can be opened to traffic, but only relying on the three prisoners from 220, this road really needs to be built until the year of the monkey.

In order to repair the road between the two places one day earlier, Shi Jian decided to check the various vehicles in the industrial zone first, hoping to find usable vehicles from inside.

When he first arrived in the industrial park, Shi Jian also tried to repair vehicles, but unfortunately he was unsuccessful.

There are not many vehicles in the industrial park. Perhaps because of the chaos before the end of the world, small vehicles such as family cars and commercial vehicles have been driven away, leaving only some engineering vehicles and transport vehicles.

For Shi Jian, these vehicles are far more useful than those cars, and can improve the overall strength of the tribe.Of course, the premise is that they can be repaired so that they can drive normally.

These vehicles have not been used for 52 years, and they are all civilian vehicles. The quality is far from that of the military truck. In addition, they have not undergone any maintenance, and most of them are actually unusable.

In addition to the dead battery, there are more or less problems with tires, hydraulics and even the engine.

Of course, it doesn't mean that all the vehicles here can't be used. At least the four fire trucks of the fire brigade are intact. After replacing the battery and oil, they started easily.

While driving the car, Shi Jian was full of praise: "It's a special vehicle, the quality is good, and there is nothing wrong with it."

Feng Kuang, who was sitting in the co-pilot, smiled and said, "So what if you can drive again? You can't use a fire engine to repair roads, so hurry up and look at other cars."

Shi Jian argued: "If you can't build a road, there are other uses. The water cannon on it is a very good defensive weapon. Even zombies have to be sprayed."

Feng Kuang's eyes lit up, and he said, "Well, if it's gasoline again, hehe." Then he laughed wickedly.

"Good idea!" Shi Jian clapped his hands in praise.

"That's all for later, let's hurry up and pack up those cars." Feng Kuang pointed to the various vehicles parked all over the yard.

"Hey, hard life." Shi Jian sighed and walked towards the cars.

After a week of repairs, Shi Jian's results are quite fruitful. A total of ten vehicles have been repaired, but only a road roller and a forklift can be used for road repairs, and the rest are trucks.

The reason why these cars can be repaired is the result of Shi Jian's patchwork. There are nearly a hundred cars in the entire industrial park, and only these ten cars were repaired in the end.

Both Shi Jian and Feng Kuang are very satisfied to achieve this effect, especially the forklift and road roller.The former speeds up construction, while the latter tamps the road surface, making it easier for vehicles to pass through.

It’s not enough just to have a car, you also need people to drive it.

Currently only Shi Jian, Feng Kuang, and Mei Zi can drive, but Mei Zi wants to lead an exploration team, and Shi Jian and Feng Kuang have to coordinate the overall situation, so how can they drive in person? The team of drivers is imperative.

On the first day of Chang'an Driving School's official opening, Fengchen and Meizi each took three people to bid farewell to Shi Jian, and set off in two directions, east and north, for an in-depth exploration of the surrounding area.

The two teams each took two red deer carts. In addition to carrying dry food and tents, the most conspicuous thing in the carts was a mortar and fifty rounds of ammunition for each team.

Now both Fengchen and Meizi are proficient in operating mortars. Although they sometimes have poor judgment on wind speed and direction, they can basically use mortars to deal with a battle. I believe that other humans have seen mortars. After the formidable power, there will not be much courage to fight them to the end.

"Boss Shi, we are leaving now, do you have anything else to say?" Feng Chen asked.

"Basically everything that needs to be said has been said. You just need to be careful. If you find humans, please notify us by radio as soon as possible." Shi Jian explained to Feng Chen and Mei Zi.

"I know Mr. Shi, we will definitely notify you in time." Feng Chen nodded in agreement.

"I wish you all the best." Shi Jian and the exploration team shook hands one by one and wished.

Seeing the two expedition teams disappear into the jungle, Shi Jian turned around and said to the people who were seeing him off together: "Let's go, let's officially start learning to drive today, I hope you can learn it soon, and it depends on you to build roads." .”

In fact, there is nothing difficult to learn to drive, as long as you practice more, and there is no need to talk about traffic rules in the last days, so the dozen or so people selected by Shi Jian quickly learned to drive.

Shi Jian didn't wait for these new drivers to upgrade their driving skills to the top level, so he couldn't wait to start the biggest project since the end of the world - road construction, so that the new drivers can improve their level in practice.
