Chapter 248: September in Wanghai City
It's September.
Entering September means entering autumn, and it also means entering the harvest season.
On September 1, Bian Ji distributed the third batch of books to the Wanghai people, and the content of this book was a little different from the previous two books, because this book contained Lin Bei's masterpiece.
In the book, every uppercase number is followed by a lowercase number, which is a conversion of uppercase and lowercase numbers, from one, all the way to hundreds, and then hundreds, thousands, thousands, and tens of thousands, and in addition to the numbers, twenty-six letters are also written into the book for the first time, which is what people are catchy: Ahhh
Wanghai people also came into contact with pinyin for the first time, came into contact with the initials and finals, from the beginning of the puzzle to the later catchy, the people found that as long as they understand the rules of the alphabet, then they can spell out the words with pinyin, so that literacy is quite fast.
In fact, Lin Bei wants to learn some of the thousand-character texts or three-character scriptures that are written out of the crowd, but unfortunately, Lin Bei can't memorize them, he will only memorize a small paragraph in front of the three-character scriptures, what kind of people at the beginning, the nature of the good will not be later, which makes Lin Bei very embarrassed, so he can only use this instead, and after these people are literate, maybe someone can re-compile the thousand-character text or the three-character scripture.
The promotion of this book, in addition to speeding up people's literacy, also allows ordinary people to get in touch with the threshold of arithmetic for the first time, as long as this book is understood, the method of addition and subtraction should be able to be done, as for multiplication and division, Lin Bei is ready to launch the next book.
In addition to Lin Bei, even Bian Ji has to learn this book, after all, he can't learn pinyin, Bian Ji doesn't think it's bitter, but enjoys it.
Subsequently, Lin Bei sued An Zhongzhi. In the future, if you only use lowercase numbers for accounting or counting, it may be a little uncomfortable at first, but it is clear that this method will definitely be faster than before as long as you are familiar with it.
The second section of Nanshan Road began to be paved again, because the fifty-mile cement road of the first section had been completely dried and the steam cars could run on it. The cement was transported to the edge of the road by a steam truck, and the cement was pulled down and paved again, and the dense forest transfer station began to pave the road in this direction, so that the two phases were superimposed, and at this efficiency, two months should be enough to pave the road.
Iron and coal were transported from Linjiang City and Coal Island to Wanghai City, and when they saw that iron had filled the warehouse again, Lin Bei asked the craftsmen to replace all the wheels of the steam car with iron. In addition, there are two kinds of wheels, one is a round ordinary wheel, and the other is naturally a tracked wheel.
First of all, Wanghai City eliminated a number of bicycles with wooden wheels, replaced the wheels of the bicycles with iron, and then replaced the wheels of the steam carriage with iron. Later, the steam car with round wheels installed was mainly used for Mercedes on cement roads. The steam car with crawler wheels is a cement road, which can be used in stone slabs and in the field, of which the former is naturally faster, and this kind of steam car is also mainly used to transport goods, while the latter is mainly used to carry people or war.
The speed of the steam car, which was replaced with round wheels, increased considerably. On the cement road, you can run 60 miles per hour, 30 miles an hour, which is twice the speed of the tracked wheels, which can already be regarded as a thousand miles a day, and this is not the limit.
The use of iron tracked wheels makes the steam car less demanding on the road surface. It is already a bit like the wheels of a modern tank, the weight of two wheels has reached 4,000 catties, and the thick wheels are enough to cope with many roads that people think are extremely difficult to navigate.
Unfortunately, limited to the weight and the road surface it needs to drive, this type of car can not carry too many people, even if the carriage is specially designed, it can only carry 20 people at a time.
"My lord, this kind of car can be used as a chariot." Cui Lan proposed his own advice: "If the car is full of archers, pulling the bow while running is enough to effectively suppress the enemy." ”
An Zhongzhi and Bian Ji also thought so, if this kind of car appeared on the battlefield, as long as the soldiers on the car were still alive, they would not be afraid of the infantry's charge at all, and they would crush the past, I have to say that whether it is a foreigner or a Chinese, the sensitivity to war is the same.
"It's a pity that this kind of car is too slow, if it is faster and harder, one car is enough to turn the tide of a battle."
For the time being, there is no way to increase the speed, but it is possible to make the car stronger, the craftsmen specially used a car to do the experiment, the wooden carriage was replaced with iron sheets, leaving arrow holes, the front of the car and the body around the block with thick iron plates, and covered with many spikes, this way, so that the weight of the whole car increased again, to 5,000 catties, at the same time, the number of people carried was reduced, only 10 people, because the car needed to be equipped with enough coal and water.
Although it became heavy, but it was obvious that the effect was sentry, and when it was driven, let the sergeant try to attack the car, the sergeants admitted that it was very terrible, there was almost no way to break this kind of car, even if it was piled up with crowd tactics, it would take a lot of effort to climb into the car, and the spikes outside the moving car were quite powerful, enough to make countless people break their stomachs.
"It's a terrifying chariot." Many people have used the word horror to describe it, and Lin Bei directly ordered this kind of tank to pay tribute to the tanks of later generations.
The iron and labor required for each tank and combat vehicle is quite a huge number, even if Lin Bei announces the technology to the world, there are not many people who can afford to build tank fighting vehicles in this era, and Wanghai City can't build much, labor can not be counted, but iron is too expensive, but Lin Bei is not in a hurry, even if the iron ore can only be built in half a month, it will have to be twenty-four after a year, and after conquering the indigenous people, in terms of the richness around the Mekong River, there will be no iron shortage at that time.
The tank chariot toured the city for a week on the day it was formed, then left the city until it reached the narrow valley on Namsan Road, and then ran over it and entered the forest behind the Changshan mountain range, and finally had to withdraw because of the forest terrain, which was extremely inspiring.
"My lord, it only takes a year or two for us to attack Cochin." Bian Ji was very optimistic.
"Then first of all, you have to supervise the craftsmen to build a big ship that can transport tanks and chariots to Cochin." Lin Bei directly poured cold water.
Bian Ji sighed: "I hope that Zhen Ping can bring back some good craftsmen to Wanghai City." ”
In mid-September, Lin Bei inspected the Daughter Corps that had been training for one month on the school grounds, except for the beginning of the withdrawal of women, everyone persevered, and one hundred and forty-three women also had the temperament of soldiers.
Lin Bei issued a special military uniform to his daughter's legion, white linen, hemp pants, Mai's left shoulder was woven with a golden dragon-shaped mark, and the left chest was also a dragon-shaped mark, distinguishing military ranks by the number of dragon claws, ordinary female sergeants have no claws, Wu Chang has one claw, even has two claws, and the centurion has three claws, adopted Cui Lan's opinion, and appointed two centurions, respectively, Zheng Rou and Wan Xiaoxiao, who were the most outstanding in training.
Originally, Lin Bei wanted to use a modern way, that is, what kind of squad leader, platoon commander, and company commander to replace the captain and centurion, but after careful consideration, he still didn't do so, because people are more familiar with the original arrangement, and Lin Bei has always respected the opinions of others.
After putting on the special military uniform, the entire daughter army was like a different person, all of them looked extremely sassy, so that many male sergeants couldn't blink when they saw it, and these female sergeants became a unique scenery among the sergeants of Wanghai City.
Some of the women who quit before have already regretted it, because in less than a month, Zheng Rou and Wan Xiaoxiao jumped from the common people to centurions like rockets, this is already a middle-level officer, if they don't quit, maybe they can become officers at this time, but unfortunately Lin Bei and Cui Lan didn't say anything when they quit, and they couldn't go in again.
Because considering the combat effectiveness of the daughter legion and the fact that she had never seen blood, Cui Lan issued a mission to these female sergeants that made Lin Bei unbelievable: killing fish
That's right, it's to kill fish, the fishermen of Wanghai City catch hundreds of thousands of catties of fish from the sea every day, Cui Lan selected big fish for these female sergeants to kill personally, and smeared themselves with fish blood, which sounds like child's play, but the effect is quite good, at least it has successfully allowed many female sergeants to overcome the symptoms of blood sickness.
"Treat fish as enemies, and when you can kill 10,000 fish without mercy, you can also attack decisively in the face of the enemy." These are Cui Lan's exact words.
"My lord, is this really possible?" An Zhongzhi asked in surprise.
Lin Bei shook his head, he didn't dare to make a conclusion, but he hoped that this method would work.
After killing the fish for ten days like this, Cui Lan reported to Lin Bei, and went out by boat with her daughter legion, in the direction of Jiaozhi, this time Cui Lan took her daughter legion to really kill people, they will sneak attack the small group of yellow turbans, and water their nerves with the blood of the yellow turbans.
In late September, Wanghai City began to harvest rice, cut back the rice and thresh, and then dried it in the grain field made of cement, the weather was quite beautiful in the past few days of harvest, there was no rain for a day, this is the first harvest of Wanghai people to come here, it is also a bumper harvest, countless rice is sent into the granary in the city in an endless stream, and An Zhongzhi is so happy that his mouth is not disturbed, and it is roughly estimated that the harvest of this batch of grain is enough for Wanghai people to not lack food in three years, plus from time to time to hunt fish and beasts, as long as there are no natural disasters, Within five years, the people of Wanghai will be able to live a prosperous life.
After the rice is harvested, Lin Bei asks the people to sprinkle rice seeds in the fields, which is tropical, and it is normal for rice to grow three times a year.
When there were still two days before October, Lin Bei received a letter forwarded by Xu Shu Tong Guò Zhen's firm, and after reading the letter, Lin Bei was a little surprised: because Xu Shu said that he was going to get married, and the object of marriage was Huang Yueying!!
"Xu Shu actually pried Kong Ming's wife? Okay, great, Huang Yueying, this is a great talent, as long as Huang Yueying is brought to Wanghai and presided over the development and research work, then my Wanghai's scientific and technological level will not fly quickly? Big ships, dams, these are all promising. (To be continued......)
