Daming kill

Chapter 90 Golden October
October is the harvest season and the golden season.

October in the Datong calendar may already be equivalent to November in the Gregorian calendar, and there is only a tail left in autumn, or in a broad sense, it may have entered winter.

Although Daming has been abnormally cold these years, it seems that the October of the Datong calendar and the golden October of the Gregorian calendar are completely out of reach.

But Li Ping, who is still at a loss about the day-to-day conversion, still feels that this October is a truly "golden" month for him.

During this period of time, Li Ping and his troops have been kept in this villa quietly and undisturbed, as if they were forgotten by others.

Except for Mrs. Zuo Menggeng's maid named Xuejing who came to visit twice, only Liu Shixiong came to wander around, and Shi Ming and Wang Chengwu came together once, and the others didn't even come to Zhao Jin.

This kind of freedom allows the army in the villa to organize training in an orderly manner, allows the security battalion in the villa to carry out production steadily, and allows the various constructions in the villa to advance in an orderly manner.

In the end, a small round of explosions of soldiers and materials was successfully realized, which also greatly improved Li Ping's strength.

Especially in the context of the destruction of Kaifeng City and the news that Li Zicheng has no more nail households in Henan, this small development climax is even more commendable.

It can be said that although the time is short, it is very critical and has a huge effect. It is a complete harvest season.

----

After breakfast, Li Ping called the officers above the company to hold a routine short meeting.

At the meeting, Li Ping further clarified the training focus and training arrangements for the next few days, and specifically asked all troops to spend a certain amount of time every day to practice listening to the bugle, and at the same time asked to fully start field survival training and long-distance marches in a few days. train.

After the regular meeting, Li Ping went to the support camp, and he wanted to go to understand the production progress of the bird gun.

At the same time, he had to tell Song Baolai about some things.

The production of bird guns is now one of Li Ping's most concerned issues, and it is also the most urgent issue.

Along the way, Li Ping's head was full of bird guns.He really had to be in a hurry, because the production of bird guns had seriously delayed the development of training.

However, if he wanted to blame, he could only blame Li Ping himself.

"People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants"

It was Li Ping's conclusion to himself. If the production was honestly carried out according to the original plan, there would be no headaches now.

Li Ping blamed himself for being idle every day and went to watch the production of bird guns. As a result, the more he watched, the more he couldn't help but use his previous knowledge and experience in light weapons to make various suggestions for the current design and production of bird guns. suggestions for improvement.

But he obviously overlooked that every improvement is not something that can be done simply with a stroke of a pen, let alone something that can be done with a slap on the head.

In the real world, nothing is easy.

Any improvement often involves a lot of preliminary work, not only to reunify standards and organize training, but also to change various production molds and organize a series of verifications.

And these all take time.

As a result, the production schedule of bird guns was seriously lagging behind.

Although Song Baolai also made some optimizations and improvements to the production equipment and improved a lot of production efficiency, it was still far from the original plan.

It will take six or seven days for the first batch of mass-produced bird guns to be equipped with troops, and this first batch is only a few dozen rods.

When he arrived at the production area of ​​the security camp, Li Ping searched for a long time before finding Song Baolai in a place where vehicles were assembled. This guy was watching the assembly of a newly designed four-wheeled carriage with dark circles under his eyes.

So Li Ping didn't rush to talk about the bird gun first, but stood by and watched the assembly while chatting with Song Baolai about various vehicles.

Ever since Li Ping said that Xiangyang might be abandoned, vehicles capable of running various human and animal powers have become Song Baolai's top priority. After all, this is related to whether he can run more comfortably and carry more Many things run.

Of course, these are equally important to Li Ping, after all, it involves mobility and carrying capacity.

It is not that there were no four-wheeled carriages in ancient China, and even four-wheeled carriages were a relatively common means of transportation in the Ming Dynasty.

In Song Yingxing's "Tiangong Kaiwu", there is a pattern of a four-wheeled carriage.There is also a record: "Carts can be divided into four-wheeled and two-wheeled. The four-wheeled cart can carry fifty stones and is pulled by horses or mules, or twelve, or ten, or eight horses and mules."

However, the four-wheeled carriages of the Ming Dynasty were indeed mainly used in the northern plains where the Shaohe River was flat, or they were most popular within a radius of [-] miles between Xuzhou, Yanzhou and Bianliang in the Ming Dynasty (this triangle area happened to be There are no mountains and no rivers, and there is a flat river), which is still rare in other regions, especially in the south.

This is mainly due to the difficulty of steering the four-wheeled carriage.

At this time, the four wheels of the Chinese four-wheeled carriage were simply assembled on the frame, and the two front wheels could not be turned left and right, which resulted in the inability to coordinate steering as effectively as the European four-wheeled carriage, that is, the flexibility was too poor.

In addition, geographical factors cannot be ignored.

Due to the generally poor road conditions in ancient times, and most areas in China were either mountainous, watery, or soft, the passability and applicability of four-wheeled carriages were naturally much lower than those of two-wheeled carriages.

In addition, the over-developed waterway transportation in ancient China, especially in the south, also led to a less strong demand for four-wheeled carriages with heavy loads.

However, Li Ping and Song Baolai still paid more attention to the four-wheeled carriage. After solving the main problem of steering, the advantages of the four-wheeled carriage are self-evident. The sex car array provides the best platform.

The steering of the four-wheeled carriage was not a big problem for Song Baolai.

Of course, the most effective differential cannot be the choice, and it is impossible to achieve mass production of this thing without a certain industrial foundation.The European method is practical and simple.

The front two wheels of their four-wheeled vehicles are mounted on one frame, the rear two wheels are mounted on another frame, and the rear frame is connected by a vertical shaft on the front frame, which is actually two A combination of two-wheelers.

The steering problem has been solved, and another major difficulty in manufacturing technology—the wheel, which is also the core of ancient vehicle manufacturing, is not a big problem for Song Baolai.

Whether it is the wheel axle or the iron ring used for external reinforcement of the wheel, because Song Baolai can produce better steel, the sturdiness and durability can be better guaranteed.

As for the final increase in geometric multiples compared to the manufacturing complexity of two-wheeled vehicles, it has become a small problem.

But looking at Song Baolai's sluggish look, Li Ping knew that it wasn't just due to work fatigue, so he couldn't help but persuade him a few more words:

"Baolai, you have tossed and tossed a few times yesterday! Look at your dark eye circles, you are so overworked every day, you can't do it! You can't bear it no matter how young you are. Yesterday, I went to Gao Lei and the others to talk about something. This Zhao Lanyue made you laugh, and that crazy girl just said that she wants to have a good talk with you in the next few days! She is worried."

When it comes to this problem, Li Ping also has a headache.

Those two beauties who gave to Song Baolai were like opening Pandora's magic box, and Song Baolai was addicted to it all at once.

Except for Li Ping who took the initiative to find him, Song Baolai basically stopped talking to Li Ping, let alone Zhao Lanyue and Gao Lei.

As a result, Li Ping gained weight, but Song Baolai lost weight, looking like a wilted eggplant every day.

Otherwise, Li Ping wouldn't have come here to chatter with him today.

Song Baolai was not married in the original time and space, nor did he have a partner to marry, so his private life in the past should be more serious.

In this time and space, it was okay at first, but with the change of status and environment, Song Baolai suddenly found that he could no longer be subject to many constraints, and a whole new world suddenly opened to him.

As a result, he soon sank into it, and just at the moment when he had just realized the benefits of Gentle Township and was most obsessed with it, it was even more difficult to extricate himself from it.

However, although Song Baolai was deeply involved, he never touched people or did things he shouldn't do, and his moral bottom line was always there.Li Ping really didn't have much to say about Song Baolai like this, other than persuasion and occasional teasing.

After all, it is hypocritical to teach others to be saints.

However, Song Baolai's face is still relatively small after all.His simple nature made him feel embarrassed, especially when he heard that female devil Zhao Lanyue wanted to talk to him, his face turned red immediately.

He whispered with embarrassment on his face: "Brother, what do you think God Zhao is staring at me all the time? I didn't mess with her. Brother, I will pay attention. My own body knows it. Didn't you rest yesterday? Let go Don't worry, you won't miss a major event, and you will definitely manage it well in the future. You and that Zhao Lanyue also talk about it, let her do more serious work, and I won't bother her with my affairs, she will listen to you. "

Song Baolai said so, and Li Ping couldn't say it again.

So, after watching the assembly and on-site debugging for a while, the two found a corner, took out a cigarette with a rough filter tip and started smoking, which is now their biggest common hobby.

Because the production capacity is still relatively primitive, their current filter tip is nothing more than a hard small round stick with a prefabricated filter bag inside.

Every time you smoke, put the prepared filter bag into this small round stick, and then insert the cigarettes that have already been rolled out in batches on the round stick.After each cigarette is smoked, a new prefabricated filter bag needs to be replaced.

Although it is a bit troublesome, it is better than smoking naked.

While smoking, Li Ping told Song Baolai that he planned to go to Xiangyang City tomorrow, and he had to visit Zuo Menggeng.

His injury is now healed, and Shangfeng has to get closer and work harder, otherwise he will really become a marginal figure if he stays out of it for a long time, and they still can't do without Dashu.

Therefore, his visit may take a few days.

Song Baolai needs to work harder, the overall situation of the villa will be handed over to him, and he must take good care of the family.

After talking about this, Li Ping immediately talked about the production issues of the support camp. He still needs to explain some things in the few days since he left, especially the many preparations that must be accelerated.

The more than one month of recuperation gave Li Ping quite a lot of free time, allowing him to think fully and carefully, and he also had more energy to deal with matters other than the military.

Therefore, Li Ping has a considerable understanding of the recent production of the security camp, and it is also why he has continuously interfered with the production of bird guns.

In the past, no matter how many thoughts he had, he didn't have the energy.

Li Ping still has a lot of new thinking and new ideas for several core production tasks in the security camp, such as steel, bird guns, vehicles, various dry food and various clothing, especially the lack of cooperation with Song Baolai recently. He wants to say more.

However, Li Ping was talking on his own, while Song Baolai was obviously absent-minded.

It wasn't until a while before Li Ping noticed Song Baolai's abnormality. At first he thought Song Baolai was just tired and out of spirit.

After asking, I found out that Song Baolai was actually worried that he would not be able to control the troops after Li Ping left.

It turned out that the last time Li Ping left him to thank Zuo Menggeng in the city, even though he came back the same day, Song Baolai still stared wide-eyed and worried all day long.

Because he found that he didn't seem to have much control over those army leaders, and he didn't know how to get along with them, and he didn't know what he should do. In the end, he just wandered back and forth between the various troops all day long, doing nothing else , And then I haven't figured out what the state of the troops is.

After all, they are currently stationed independently, and they are still far away from the city. Once something happens, Song Baolai really doesn't know how to deal with it.

Li Ping was going to go for several days this time, and Song Baolai felt even more uncertain.

Concerned about Song Baolai, Li Ping was taken aback for a moment, but then smiled. He really didn't expect Song Baolai to be worried about this.

"A few days ago, when we went to Xiangyang City to talk about the Little Binghe, Gao Lei stayed in the villa alone. I don't think it's okay? I didn't see her worrying?" Li Ping still asked a little strangely. Not quite round the corner yet.

"Brother, that's different, it's really different." Song Baolai's expression was a little anxious, and it really didn't seem like he was talking casually.

Seeing Song Baolai's seriousness, Li Ping had no choice but to comfort him: "Baolai, don't worry, it's really fine. If the army is not stable, I won't leave at ease."

However, the sadness on Song Baolai's face did not dissipate because of Li Ping's simple comfort. Instead, he took out a cigarette and lit it, and he didn't even replace the prefabricated filter bag in the filter cartridge.

Seeing Song Baolai's state, Li Ping had no choice but to organize his thoughts, and then asked: "Baolai, I was in a hurry to reform the military system as soon as I arrived in this village. Don't you feel that you are in a hurry?"

Song Baolai took a puff of cigarette, raised his head, looked at Li Ping in astonishment and replied, "It's a little bit. Brother, how do you say this?"
