Back in the camp, everyone continued to be busy, Lu Peng must seize this period of time, do his best to arrange the base area, some ideas and advanced consciousness, not the brothers under the gang want to complete it, must do it themselves, to instruct, otherwise there may be mistakes, time is pressing, according to the importance, a little mistake, it is absolutely intolerable.

But fortunately, with the massive amount of food sent by the eldest brother, this finally relieved some of Lu Peng's financial pressure.

Before next year's autumn harvest, tens of thousands of people will have to eat in a big pot in accordance with the communist method, and although the daily rations of the people will not be enough, they will also become a tremendous pressure on the entire base area.

Now that he has this batch of grain, Lu Peng is ready to treat the young and strong in the base areas, in addition to still ensuring the rations of the old, weak, women, and children, and the young and strong, and implement the method of cashing out work, so as to increase the people's incomes and start the second construction of the base areas.

Now that the land has been divided and the steel mills have started production, the next thing to do is to build water conservancy for those mountainous areas and spring ploughing in the coming year, the most critical of which is the problem of water wheels.

Day and night, I drew the drawings of the Dutch windmills, and then took them to the technical school, so that the students could experiment and produce at the same time.

The waterwheel seems simple, but in fact it is also very complicated, large and small parts, at least dozens of parts, as a result, when Lu Peng took the drawings to the technical school to start building, he found a very headache for him.

The carpenter masters are indeed interested in teaching students, but even if there are only five masters, they want to build a table, chair and bench together, they all give you an inexplicable thing, the reason is that there is no precise unit of measurement at this time, some masters simply calculate according to their own palms, one finger and two fingers, the error between them is simply outrageous, that is, the four legs of a table, if it is an apprentice under the master to build, it is absolutely uneven, installed together, That's simply not possible.

There is no way, Lu Peng had to use the advantages of his traverser again, re-plan the standard of weights and measures, the most important thing is to subdivide these weights and measures, for example, now the weights and measures used by carpenters are based on the size of the zhang, even if it is the smallest inch, it is also a habit of different lengths, this is a classic saying that later generations, there are many carpenters, and the house is crooked, so Lu Peng had to make a set of standard size rules, the inches below, and then subdivided into points and millimeters, and stipulate the entire base, In the future, the size of the measurement must be based on the current standard, and this set of things will be placed directly in the most conspicuous place of the school, so that everyone knows the necessity of the rules.

With the standard size, you can divide labor and cooperate to make your own imaginary windmills, so that the speed of building windmills has increased significantly, and also let those masters see the benefits of division of labor and cooperation, and begin to involuntarily refine their technology, so that the standard of multidisciplinary refinement is slowly formed.

On a crisp autumn day, Lu Peng took all the masters and apprentices to a turbulent river, and began to erect the windmill he said on the side of a high ground where the canal had been dug a long time ago, which also attracted hundreds of onlookers from the surrounding area.

When the huge windmill was erected, all the people who watched were amazed, this big guy who had never seen it before was indeed too tall, especially the huge windmill arms, which simply gave people a huge spiritual shock.

Put the water pocket in the style of a cowhide chain into the river, and then Lu Peng picked up the wooden hammer and knocked on the wooden bolt that was restricting, and the huge fan began to rotate slowly in the fresh breeze in the valley, and with the rotation of the windmill, the water pocket of the chain lifted the clear river water, transported it to the tall and two-foot platform, flowed into the pre-dug canal, and then flowed like a stream to the newly opened land, and so on.

Looking at the windmill that can drive its own water without manpower, the people are all cheering, just this artifact of the lord can completely replace countless labor, and it can also keep all night, so this windmill can completely water this vast farmland, with this artifact, what are you afraid of the great drought in the world? A day of abundance was unfolded in front of the eyes of the people in the creaking of this windmill.

However, Lu Peng stipulates that this windmill is not provided free of charge by the local government, and needs to be purchased by the people, of course, this is temporarily sold on credit, and it will be returned when there is a harvest in the late autumn of the next year, so that it will also bring a huge income to the technical school, and the technical school will not only be self-sufficient in the near future, but also be able to make a profit for the government in the farther time, so that benign development is the royal law.

As for the fact that a family cannot afford to buy, there is no need to worry about it, and the people see the huge capacity of this windmill, so a group of villages jointly buys it, and everyone can use it together.

As a result, a craze for building windmills was immediately set off in the base area, and those who knew how to carpenter participated in the war, and those who did not know how to carpenter also made the simplest parts under the guidance of the master, and under the constraints of weights and measures after the unified standard, they could also match the main engine, so in the near future, wherever there were rivers in the base area, tall windmills were erected one after another, becoming a beautiful scenery in the base area.

This windmill also joined the smelter, replaced the artificial blast, so that the air volume sent into the blast furnace increased, with the increase of the blower, the blast furnace was built bigger and bigger, just half a year later, the iron output of the iron plant, half a year ahead of schedule reached the daily output of 10,000 catties required by Lu Peng, a year later, reached a daily output of 20,000 catties.

This kind of output not only satisfied the needs of the workers, peasants, and soldiers in the base areas, but also reached export sales, bringing a steady stream of wealth to the base areas, and finally freeing Lu Peng's base areas from financial crisis.

At the same time, the emergence of the windmill made Lv Peng abandon the original idea of creating a water conservancy stamping machine, and directly used the windmill to lift the hammer to forge the iron.

Although the windmill is far inferior to the water conservancy hammer in lifting the weight of the hammer, the water conservancy hammer needs to barrage the river to build a dam, and the manpower required will be infinite. Manpower, and what is the focus of manpower in the Lü Peng base area now? It is to reclaim wasteland, to prepare the basis for the self-sufficiency of food in the future, everything is based on this premise, never waver, as the so-called food in the hand, do not panic in the heart, the important material of food can not always rely on the supply outside the valley, not only consumes huge money, especially can not put this important material in the hands of others, even if it has been married to the Mi family, in case there is an accident, the source is cut off, then everything they have paid will be wiped out.

Therefore, with the replacement of windmills, although the forging of large pieces cannot be carried out, there is no problem with the forging of small pieces, which not only meets the production of agricultural tools, but also lays the foundation for the future equipment of practical plate armor for the army.

The success of the windmill has brought great changes to the base area, which is the power of science and technology.
