Chapter 238: Trivialities (Part II)
Standing side by side with Yang Chao outside the granary in Chawanzhai, Mo Tianliu looked at Lao Fei, who had just come to Chawanzhai from Li Jiashun's side, leading several martial arts team members to pour food, and turned his head to look at Yang Chao standing beside him with some disapproval: "This is the capable person you invited with great effort to Commander Li?" ”
Nodding quickly, Yang Chao whispered to Mo Tianliu: "There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, the old saying is not bad at all!" If you look at the food sent by the villagers in various villages, it only takes more than an hour to cook it. Even the hard and soft millet mixed together were ground into flour by Comrade Lao Fei, mixed with egg yolk to make fine dry food, which was specially fed for the wounded to eat......"
Pouting disdainfully, Mo Tianliu snorted in a low voice: "Isn't this still the path of a gourd official's confused case?" Coarse grains and fine grains are mixed together to boil paste, isn't that the same as eating and drinking......"
Although the words were said very frivolously, Mo Tianzhuan understood in his heart that the method of mixing coarse grains and fine grains with egg yolks to make dry food for the wounded was much more clever than his own way of boiling mush. Halfway through the words, he just kept silent. But Yang Chao looked at Mo Tianliu seriously, and said solemnly to Mo Tianliu: "Tianliu, I know that you are bent on strengthening the team of our Qingle County martial arts team, and recruiting all the people who can fight and have the ability to fight, so that you can fight devils and avenge Captain Li!" ”
"This idea is not wrong at all, but when we fight, we must not only rely on the ability and ability on the battlefield, but also rely on the logistics to withstand it! Take Comrade Sha Bangqu beside you as an example, he is infinitely powerful, and he fights face to face with devils, I am afraid that more than a dozen devils are not enough for him to chop with a guillotine alone. But if you make him hungry for a few days, where will he have the strength to fight with the devil? ”
"That stupid mallet hasn't eaten a few full meals since he was a child, and it's not once or twice that he fights with devils when he's hungry, and he still carries it? Besides, if you invite this old Feitou back, you can ensure that the new 200 people in our tea bowl village are well fed and drunk? ”
"Comrade Lao Fei is a veteran comrade who has experienced the 25,000-mile Long March, and he has always been responsible for the logistics work of the troops. In those days, when we were climbing snow-capped mountains and crossing grasslands, our troops were generally out of food, and we could not violate the policy to rob the people of food. It's a shame that Comrade Lao Fei came up with a method...... Although the big guy is still hungry and full, most of the comrades have survived! ”
"It's an old waste...... Comrade Lao Fei, can you cut bread on the ground and sprinkle grain into grain? ”
"This ...... After a long time in the future, you will naturally know Comrade Fei's ability! Tianliu, with such a reliable logistics cadre, when you are fighting, isn't it convenient for you to open your hands and feet to do things with devils? ”
“...... Yes! Anyway, everyone is here, so let's stay in this tea bowl village first, anyway, we don't miss the bowl of paste he eats and drinks! By the way, you go to Commander Li's place, except to get back an old fee...... Comrade, why didn't you get some good goods for our Qingle County Martial Arts Team? At the moment, we don't have anything in our hands, and we are the big bosses....... The old captain took out all the guys that he saved from between his teeth back then, but he couldn't let everyone in our Qingle County Martial Arts Team have a guy with a sound in their hands?! What are you doing when you get a few truckloads of sulfur powder and soil nitrate? ”
As if he didn't notice that Mo Tianliu had changed the name of the chestnut group, Yang Chao looked back at the sulfur powder and soil nitrate that had been placed separately, and then looked at some martial arts team members who had already returned with some willow branches, and then said to Mo Tianliu: "Commander Li is about to sing the empty city plan!" We have been fighting hard with the devil for several days this time, and the loss of personnel is huge, and the loss and consumption of guns and ammunition are also a large number. When I went to Commander Li's place, the cadres of the various companies and platoons who were surrounded by the door of the ordnance department were about to lift up the head of the ordnance department and dismantle it, and even the seriously injured captain Yan Dahe had someone carry him to the door of the ordnance department to ask for equipment.......
With his eyes widened, Mo Tianliu couldn't help but shout urgently: "Look at the posture of people saving their belongings for their own families....... This has been crying since ancient times, and if you don't cry or make trouble, the equipment will definitely not come! It's coming, so it's not as good as someone else!? At the end of the day, people took the good goods and left, so they sent you these truckloads of sulfur powder and earth nitrate? ”
Shaking his head slightly, Yang Chao said in a low voice: "Where is the equipment in the Ordnance Department first?" I took advantage of their lack of attention and jumped over the wall into the storeroom to see. The warehouses were full, and there were only two or three boxes of bullets and some horsetail grenades left, and nothing else, and the rats had to come out hungry when they entered......"
"Then you're just going to dump some bullets?! Horsetail grenade is not good to make, but ...... It's better than nothing, right? ”
Huihui pointed to the sulfur powder and soil nitrate piled up not far away, and Yang Chao had a slight smile on his face: "If we can use good things, why should we go with people to grab that worthless thing?" It was in the warehouse that I saw these raw materials that were ready to be used to make gunpowder, so I hurriedly took advantage of the fact that others had not yet figured it out, and brought these raw materials back in one fell swoop......."
Blinking his eyes, Mo Tianliu looked at the sulfurous powder and earth nitrate, and shouted at Yang Chao in surprise: "I know that you are planning to use these things to mix gunpowder, and the gunpowder that can be made with these things is not easy to use?" A little bit of smoke, sometimes I don't want to blow up loudly when I do artillery battles? ”
Looking at the martial arts team members who came back from cutting down a lot of willow branches outside the tea bowl village, Yang Chao smiled unabated, and stretched out his hand to point at the willow branches that had formed a hill: "If the explosion speed of earth-made gunpowder does not meet the requirements, the natural power is not great." And...... Tianliu, what do you know about the gunpowder formula? ”
"Do you need to ask? One nitrate, two sulfur and three charcoal?! ”
"The recipe is debatable in the first place! According to the little experience I gained from doing chemical experiments when I was in school, I think that the formula of one sulfur, two nitrate and three charcoal should be able to increase the explosion rate of gunpowder a lot! And this toner, if we can use the carbon burned by the willow branch, the effect can be strengthened! ”
"That's right...... I really don't know the trick? Then let's try it quickly and see how strong the gunpowder can be? If you can catch up with the power of the Jinzao grenade, you won't come back with so many things in vain! ”
Nodding slightly, Yang Chao walked side by side with Mo Tianliu towards the empty field where various materials were stacked, and continued to say to Mo Tianliu: "The problem of purification and optimization of raw materials has been solved, and all that remains is to think of ways to solve the problem of granularization of gunpowder!" This is also the experience I gained from doing chemical experiments, when the size of the gunpowder particles is uniform, the kinetic energy of the explosion can be ........"
"I said Instructor Yang, can you ...... Can you speak neatly? Why have you been talking for a long time, and I can't understand so many words in your words? ”
Slightly stunned, Yang Chao suddenly reacted, and nodded at Mo Tianliu with a somewhat apologetic expression: "I'm ...... The pedantic fault has been committed again! To put it simply, we use the materials of gunpowder well, and we make the particle size of gunpowder the same, so the explosives that are made are ....... It's a grenade, an explosive pack, or something, and the power can be relatively large. At first, I had the egg whites left behind to be used for the convenient processing of gunpowder particles......"
Hurriedly turning around, Mo Tianliu raised his voice and shouted to a member of the martial arts team who passed by: "Hurry up and go to the room, let the person who cooks the sick meal for the wounded leave all the egg whites, and want to be used for other factions!" ”
After shouting a sentence, Mo Tianliu quickly turned around and smiled at Yang Chao: "What else, Instructor Yang, do you continue?" As long as it's a guy who can think of a guy who can fight devils, I'll listen to you whatever you say! ”
With a shallow smile, Yang Chao looked at the busy martial arts team members in the tea bowl village, and breathed a long sigh of relief: "I want to free up something that can be used to fight devils...... According to my opinion, it is not enough to listen to me, and it is not enough to listen to you, we have to learn to summarize the opinions of the big guys and show the abilities of the big guys! ”
"The opinion of the big guys? The martial arts team members in this tea bowl village are almost all crop men, hunters, and craftsmen, and they have just joined the martial arts team for a few days, what can they say? That's not me....... It's not that the two of us are shouting how to fight, and they are following how to fight? ”
"Have you ever heard the story of the rooster and the dog thief?"
“....... Heard of it, right? I don't remember exactly......."
didn't pierce Mo Tianliu's obvious nonsense, Yang Chao said in a harmonious voice: "This story is actually simple, it is Spring and Autumn ...... In the early years, when a big official was about to be killed, he was busy running for his life, but the city gate did not open until dawn when the rooster crowed. When he was about to die, the two doormen he kept under his hands ....... It was the characters who helped the idle and the long-term workers to deceive the city gate with the ability to drill dog holes and learn to crow chickens, which allowed this big official to escape with his life! ”
"The devil is extremely vicious, we are weak, at this time, then we have to use all the skills, and everyone can use it, in order to have the possibility of defeating the devil! Looking at the thimble is inconspicuous, but without the iron thimble, it is really difficult to get the sole of the shoe, and you can't do the work with a blood piercing a hand! ”
"That's the truth....... That's right! That's why you paid the old money from Commander Li...... Comrade recruited? ”
"There are also considerations in this regard. After all, you are a military cadre, I am a political work cadre, and I am not familiar with the work of logistics. Without an old comrade to help take the helm, if there is a mistake, maybe something big will happen! ”
"Got it! Chickens crowing, dogs watching the house, cattle plowing the fields, people farming, scooping water with scoops, hunting guns, Comrade Lao Fei is in charge of logistics, let's spread our arms to fight with devils! ”
"Now that we've figured it out, let's also hold a Zhuge Liang meeting after processing these materials for making gunpowder? Let the big guys also talk about it, how to fight the devil? ”
"It's all up to you!"
"No, it's all of us!"
