After ten hours of discussion, the weapons team finally chose a very famous rifle - the brown bass - among a large number of smoothbore guns. As a group of weapon maniacs, this classic weapon, which has dominated the history of human warfare for more than 200 years after the Industrial Revolution, is a very real choice. The military industry was initially preparing to imitate the Brown Bess Model 1777, a rifle that had shined in the American Revolutionary War and the early war of the Anti-French Alliance, with a relatively small bolt cover area, and the length of the external spring and the distance of the hammer were also reduced, which not only reduced the cost of the bolt, but also more effectively saved metal materials for the traverser and phosphor bronze springs that were still in the experimental stage for the time being. However, after discussion, it was found that the parts of this rifle would be more troublesome to disassemble, and if the natives were to learn to disassemble and maintain the Model 1777 rifle, they would probably lose their thumbs if they were not careful.

In order to prevent the phenomenon of more buried thumbs than the corpses of the enemy, the weapons team finally set their sights on the last model of the Brown Bass, the Indian model. This brown bass is definitely the most familiar brown bass model in the world, and of course, it is also the most economical brown bass model. Although it came out around 1790, but with the Napoleonic Wars, the British ** armament department desperately found that the French on the other side of the channel had mobilized nearly a million high-morale revolutionary troops at the same time, their own armory inventory was pitiful, when they were frantically looking for the source of the weapon, they found that the East India Company had already begun to use the Indian version of the economy brown bes, which is a rifle with a shorter barrel length, a rifle with a shorter barrel means a closer range, But because beggars can't pick fat and thin, this Indian brown bass has become the main weapon of the British ** team in a blink of an eye. This simplified brown bass not only simplifies the bolt even more, as the shortest Indian model of the infantry smoothbore gun, it also successfully reduces the length of the bar and barrel, which naturally makes it more cost-effective. In addition, as a cost saving, the rifles were not equipped with bayonets, and in the event of a close-range charge, they could be compensated for by a pikemen armed with a spear.

After the rifle is finalized, it will start production, and as a supporting facility for the production of these parts, it will be necessary to establish an iron-making plant, a steel-making plant, and a spring factory. In addition, the barrel needs to be hammer forged, and then the barrel is drilled out of the solid iron pipe with a drilling machine. In addition, the lumber mill needed to provide the right stock material for the rifle. Almost everything requires a large amount of electricity, and in the blink of an eye, electricity has become a bottleneck that restricts the production of many industries.

Fortunately, in the two days after overcoming the problem of making wooden compressive pipes, the timber team has successfully hooled 120 meters of wooden compressive pipes, and when the construction team saw the pipes, they commented as if they had seen old wooden barrels in a museum, and the outer walls of the pipes were brushed with tung oil to prevent corrosion. The connections of these pipes are reinforced by concrete, but fortunately there is only a distance of more than 80 meters, and not much cement is consumed. During the construction process, two pipelines were broken, but fortunately, Xiao Jing had the foresight to do two more pipes to avoid stopping work again.

As the sluice gates were opened, the river poured into the pipes from the high channels, and the technical team carefully inspected the exterior of the wooden pipes and the connection points with pressure gauges, and there was neither leakage nor bulging. In a cheer, Pan Dai, who was in charge of commissioning, opened the retaining door from the cistern to the inlet chamber, and the raging river water poured into the inlet chamber, and the excess water went directly into the overflow channel and drained into the side of the drainage ditch directly back into the river. After waiting for the flow of water in the inlet chamber to calm down a bit, he finally opened the valve from the inlet chamber to the turbine. The hydraulic turbine began to rotate rapidly under the surging water, Yuan Fang had been waiting impatiently on the side, and saw that the speed of the hydraulic turbine reached the requirements of power generation, so he slowly closed the clutch gear set, and waited until the speed of the generator reached a sufficient speed, and then completely closed the clutch gear set. The voltmeter on the side is showing the voltage, and after seeing that the voltage has reached the rated value, Pan Dai ran all the way to the power transmission switch, and turned on the power transmission switch forcefully, and the meter on the transformer immediately began to display the value, he carefully checked each value, and finally as he turned on the power supply switch, it means that the hydroelectric generator was officially put into use.

When the running lights in the control room of the generator room came on, all the onlookers outside cheered. Unlike wind and solar power, hydropower is almost not affected by the climate, and as long as water is available, it will continue to generate electricity. The construction of the hydropower project, from the wooden pipeline to the blasting of the rock area, is completely surveyed and constructed by the traverser himself, and it is the most difficult No. 1 project after the crossing landing, and the hydropower station is put into power generation operation at this time, which also means that the energy of the traversal is no longer limited by the bottleneck of fuel supply.

As the sound of diesel generators in the timber processing plant in the distance ceased almost every day, Pan Dai held a portable horn and loudly announced to the crowd of people: "Gone are the days when we relied on petroleum energy to generate electricity!" You don't have to worry about controlling your electricity to read your laptop in the tent! Our industrial team doesn't have to fight every day over electricity quotas! ……”

"Your 200 kilowatts are a hair? Our industrial components will give you a run out of minutes in minutes. Someone below laughed.

"You don't have to work at night, we can watch TV quietly at night."

"Pull it down, you, you guys can finish reading it in a few minutes, isn't it a waste to send so much electricity?"

"You're coming! Didn't your military team keep talking about what kind of war games they were engaged in, and at the end of the day, weren't they still a group of people playing games by occupying electricity quotas in the executive committee building? ”

"Wargaming is completely different from playing games, right? In addition, the military group also needs to use searchlights at night to keep on guard at night, and also to watch for prisoners. ”

"Don't talk to Lao Tzu about prisoners, when it comes to prisoners, Lao Tzu has fire," the traversal who spoke almost jumped up at this time, "What kind of political education are you prisoners still engaged in, and when will they be able to put into work?" It's been days! Crying wolves in the camp every day, fighting landlords every day, how many landlords can there be in this large group of captives? It affects the rest. ”

"If you are not afraid of using it, you will use it, if more than a thousand captives do not engage in any political education, they will go directly to work, and a few people from the squire class will be mixed in the middle to make some ghosts in it, you don't know that the local tyrants and inferior gentry are the foundation of the country in this year, if these captives riot, and they are around us, there will be no way to suppress them smoothly, right? You're not afraid of death, I'm afraid of death! ”

…………………………

Qian Longzhou of Zhancheng Port did not know that the hydroelectric generator unit of Dongfang Port had successfully generated electricity, at this time he was directly facing the most terrible thing - no electricity, at first he didn't feel it, with three or four mobile power supplies, he didn't feel the tension of electricity at all, as the princess repeatedly ran to the guard to find him to borrow a "mobile phone" to check the information, he suddenly found that the electricity was not enough, these mobile power supplies added up to only 30,000 mAh of electricity, and he himself was overstretched, not to mention that Her Royal Highness the princess always ran to fight the autumn wind. Within three days, he finally saw in despair that the light of the last power bank went black.

What to do at this point? Let the businessman who went to the Oriental Port to deliver food send the mobile power bank back to the Oriental Port to fully charge it and send it back? Or let the traversers of the Oriental Port pull a high-voltage transmission line for themselves and prepare a transformer for themselves? He smiled wryly and looked at the charging plug in his hand, which existed purely as a joke in the port of Champa where there was no power socket at all. If the story only happened here, Qian Longzhou could be regarded as the overlord in the tragedy, but he was lucky, he was accompanied by a technical nerd who was a business representative in Zhancheng Port, this boy named Liu Shenhong was an employee of the design department of an architectural institute before the crossing, and when he came to participate in the crossing, he was going to see how this "crossover farce" should end, but when the piles of gold and silver and the wormhole shining blue appeared in front of him, he fled like many people who stayed in the old time and space.

Originally intending to stay in the old plane, he received a call from a colleague on his way back, and a design he had secretly sold three months earlier had become the straw that had been put in place by his rivals in a bidding campaign, and unfortunately his company was the overwhelmed camel. The company had already notified the public security department to strictly investigate the leakage, so he had to turn around and run back to the base at this time to return to the great cause of crossing. After the crossing, he has been active as a designer in the design department of the crossing group, and this time he came to Champa Port to cooperate with Qian Longzhou to draw a map and choose a place to build the bridge, and by the way, to supervise the construction of the American trading station.

Because he knew that there would be no power, he didn't bring a mobile phone at all, at this time he was bored every day, and he asked for a mobile phone to play around Qian Longzhou, and when Qian Longzhou said to him with a bitter face that the mobile phone was out of battery, he made a strange thing. It's a small piece of equipment, a palm-sized Stirling engine made of copper. The melting point of copper is only 1083.4 degrees Celsius, which is easier to achieve than iron, he made a mold out of wood, and then turned the sand to make the cylinder of the Stirling engine, rolled out the snorkel with copper sheets, and then connected the pistons in the two cylinders with connecting rods after installation, and the air tightness is slightly difficult to solve, but at this time it can only be simplified because of ugliness. The ugly engine was a twin-cylinder vertical 90-degree layout, with a connecting rod flywheel driving a homemade ugly generator. The copper wires used in this generator are made in small batches and vary in thickness, but they do succeed in generating electricity when they rotate in the magnet. Liu Shenhong took apart the charger plug brought by Qian Longzhou again, and soldered the wires from the small DC generator directly to the USB output port with a burning iron, and he proudly called Qian Longzhou to his studio and lit the firewood under the cylinder in front of Qian Longzhou.
