Just as the students were fighting to light the fire, a rough voice rang out: "Let's let Ben come." Everyone followed the voice and looked, it turned out to be Guan Suo, the commander of the 10th Division.
Guan Suo was originally standing on the ruins of a house, condescendingly watching the performances of these teachers and students, and when he saw the most critical moment of ignition, he also wanted to come over and have a good time, so he jumped off the ruins and strode over.
Everyone made way of a passage to let the famous general pass through Guò. The three fathers and sons of the Guan family all have great military exploits, although Guan Suo's combat exploits are slightly worse than Guan Gong and Guan Xing, but they are not comparable to these teachers and students who are still in the ivory tower.
What's more, Guan Suo has been in command of Leng Bīngqì's troops for a long time, and almost every time he fights, he has a strong murderous aura on his body. The teachers and students were all taken by his murderous aura and moved away from him three steps away.
Guan Suo took the torch in the hand of a soldier, came to the pile of powder, turned to the teacher, and said, "Master, are you lighting this lead?" It's like ignition ~ medicine packets? ”
He didn't ask others if they agreed to let him light the fire, but went directly to the practical stage, revealing an unquestionable domineering. Thinking about it, he is the one with the highest status here, and since he has the power to light the fire, naturally no one will compete with him.
Seeing that it was Guan Suo, the teacher didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said, "Yes, the general only needs to use a torch to light that lead." However, please also ask the general to quickly retreat to a kilometer away after ignition, although this thing will not explode, but when it burns, it will produce high temperatures, and sparks will splash everywhere, and if you get too close, it will also hurt people. ”
"Hmm." Guan Suo agreed, and without saying much, he leaned over the torch in his hand and lit the lead cleanly, and then Hòu quickly retreated a zhang away. On the contrary, those teachers and students were stunned, Guan Suo lit the fire so quickly, and before they could react, they all forgot to retreat outside the safe range.
This is the difference between soldiers and civilians, especially predators like Guan Suo, who usually don't talk much, and do things vigorously, typical type of doing more with less talking. So Guan Suo didn't say a word of nonsense at all, and went straight to the point after knowing the note.
When he stepped out of the safe zone, he looked back and was stunned because the teachers and students were still in place. Puzzled, he asked, "Master, didn't you say that you would retreat to a foot away?" Why haven't you moved yet? ”
The teacher suddenly realized, and then, like a cat that had been stepped on its tail, jumped up and yelled, "Hurry up, everyone, stand back, retreat a foot away, don't get hurt." ”
The students also came to their senses, and one by one they retreated as if they had been stepped on by the tail. Guan Suo saw their chaotic appearance, and shook his head again and again, these people are really undisciplined and orderly, fortunately they are students, if they are such a mess of soldiers, they will definitely suffer on the battlefield.
In fact, not only soldiers will suffer in the chaos on the battlefield, but even civilians, if a large group of people fall into chaos, there is likely to be a stampede, which is not uncommon in ancient and modern times. Fortunately, the number of teachers and students here is small, and everyone has enough room to turn around, so there is no tragedy.
The lead was very short, and it burned for a while before it came to an end, and then hòu "Peng" lit the fire ~ medicine, and then ignited the thermite below, and the violent burning began, making a "zizi" sound, and the spark splashed out almost two meters away.
At this time, those students had not yet withdrawn a foot away, and two or three students were splashed on their bodies by sparks, screaming in pain, and jumping out of the danger zone with their feet. Thankfully, it was already far away, with only a few sparks splashing on them, and no real damage was done, but their clothes were burned through a few small holes.
However, the students were soon attracted by the bright sparks in the field and had no time to pay attention to anything else, and even the few students who were burned through their clothes by the sparks forgot to shout. Everyone watched the splashing sparks in fascination, and the scene was silent.
After a while, the dazzling light of the fire gradually dimmed, and at this moment, I suddenly heard "Boom! With a sound, the thick iron rope of Hòu retreated into the river. The scene was thunderous, and both the students and the soldiers gathered around to watch the excitement were so excited that they shouted excitedly.
It turned out that the iron cable was burned off, and under the action of gravity, the remnants of the shore were pulled into the river at once. Soon, a large section of iron cable in the middle of the river sank to the bottom of the river, along with a large number of auxiliary defenses built by the Soochow people relying on it.
However, not all of this iron cable sank into the river, and the other end of it was still tied to the military fort on the north bank. The military fort on the north bank was also fiercely attacked by Guan Xing's troops at about the same time.
Guan Xing's troops were the aces of the Hong's army, and their use of firearms was not a little stronger than that of the 10th Division, and they captured the military fort on the north bank at a faster pace.
However, after Guan Xing captured the military fort, he did not order the iron cable to be cut, because the iron cost of this huge iron cable was simply astronomical, which was a huge wealth and could not be wasted.
As long as this iron cable is salvaged, the recovered steel is estimated to be enough to build one, or even two large cement warships, of course, the quality of steel in Soochow is relatively poor, and it may have to be remelted before it can be used.
But it doesn't matter, in this era of steel shortage, it's no different from picking it up for nothing. Liu Houzheng was worried that there would be no more steel output, so as to speed up the construction of various projects, how could he let go of the benefits of this door-to-door delivery.
Therefore, he only ordered one side of the rope to be cut, and although the other side did not have to cut the cable, the workload was greater, because they were responsible for salvaging the cable. This is not an easy task, because the iron cable is too large and must be heavy, and in this case, it is not realistic to salvage it by manpower alone.
Although the Institute of Institutional Research lost the competition to cut the iron cable, they were the only one who had to salvage the iron cable on the north shore. Ma Jun, a master-level figure of organ science, even went to the scene in person to personally direct the installation and testing of their newly built machinery.
In fact, if you want to pull the iron cable up, you don't need any special machinery, just a winch. It's just that because the iron cables are too cumbersome, they need a huge amount of power, which is unprecedented, more than any set of machinery that the Institute has built before.
It's a big challenge for them. However, Ma Jun was full of confidence in this, especially after learning the simple mechanical theory passed down by the hand of Guò Zuo Ci, although he did not say anything that could pry the earth like the arrogant Western man, but he still did not pay attention to a single iron cable.
Over the next month, he will lead his team to build several hydro turbines here, and then hòu through a series of mechanical devices to concentrate the power of these hydraulic turbines, and then turn them into the power of the winch through countless pulley sets, which are used to pull the huge iron cable.
