Villager of Daming

Chapter 1217: Who is faster?

Every time there was a rumble in the river, the people of the Alliance Tribes were startled.

There are people on the shore who are specifically responsible for dismantling the explosive packs. The black powder explosive packs need to be specially packaged and divided into grids.

It is easy to change to nitroglycerin. The grid can be disassembled if it can be separated. The main reason lies in the characteristics of black powder.

It takes skill to bundle black powder into explosive packages, otherwise they will not explode together and the effect will not be achieved.

Dismantling it is also a technical job. First of all, you cannot use a hammer to hit it. Keep away from open flames and hidden flames when dismantling it, as it will explode if sparks fly over.

Take out a part of it, rewrap it, and leave the fuse.

The others should stay away. Whoever dismantles it will be responsible for throwing it out to fry the fish. The other soldiers will be worried if someone else dismantles it.

Just like the parachute on a hot air balloon, you fold it yourself, and don't blame others if it doesn't open. Of course, people generally don't complain when something goes wrong.

Bidong, the leader of the small tribe, tried to open his eyes wide and look carefully, looking at the effect of frying the fish and then at his other colleagues.

The leaders of other small tribes in the alliance were very disgusted by his gaze. What did he mean? He was going to use this to blow himself up?
"Isn't it a pity to dismantle the big fried fish? There are two small circles next to it, that one..."

Bi Dong took a look and found different types of explosive packs, one divided into grids, the other without grids and much smaller. He asked Zhu Fugui.

Zhu Fugui knew what the other party was talking about without even looking. The nitroglycerin mixed with diatomaceous earth was indeed stable and could be carried around safely without risk of exploding.

but……

"Captain Bi, what you are looking at is better, a small one can replace many big ones like this.

There is just one problem. If you want it to explode, you must have a detonator, but it is difficult for us to make a detonator.

Use the big one first, and if you encounter enemies later, use the small one to deal with them.

At present, the explosive packs used for mountain opening and mining are the former, black powder, which is better than the one used to load muskets in the past.

From now on, when you go hunting, we can provide you with muskets, but you must report and not use them on others..."

Zhu Fugui continued to talk about what would happen next, and first made the pie round.

Hanhan said that in the future people living in remote areas will be allowed to use gunpowder guns, especially herdsmen, who will encounter wolf packs.

Few sheepdogs can beat wolves in a one-on-one fight. In a group fight, the wolf king knows tactics better. Unless they have the advantage in numbers, a pack of sheepdogs will inevitably suffer heavy losses when encountering a pack of wolves.

It is not easy for people to help with bows and arrows, so muskets are the most suitable, especially shotguns, which are filled with iron sand and can spray a large area.

It would be best to give you a double-barreled shotgun, but I can't give you an assault rifle. Copper is expensive, and we don't even have enough telephone lines!
Some blacksmiths can make shotguns themselves by just hammering away. They cannot mix the gunpowder because their skills are poor and it is impossible to pass on the formula to them.

Bullets are even more difficult to handle. They are not like water-honey pills used to make medicine. It is relatively easy to just get a pile of millet and use it to hang medicine.

When iron sand is smelted, the liquid iron is usually placed in a colander and dripped into cold running water. Once it drips into the colander, it will basically become round.

Then put it in the drum and grind it together with other things. Grind it again and again and pass it through the sieve. This kind of pure manual work is troublesome.

Bidong didn't know about the problem of craftsmanship. He grinned happily. He wanted a good weapon, but he didn't have the ability of the big leader to fly an arrow, and he was not good with the bow. He just had strength and was not afraid of pain when fighting with all his might.

Fish were continuously being caught and the tribesmen helped to pick them out, separating them by size. Some fish species also had to be separated as it would be difficult to control the cooking time if they were cooked together.

Bi Dong looked at the other pistols on the sergeant's body. Some were normal pistols, while others were paper shell revolvers.

He thought for a while and said: "Zhu Chaoguan, our leader is actually good at flying arrows. Look at the broken arrow stuck in the leather bag on his waist.
The enemy was frightened when they saw it, because the leader could fly very accurately, and he could fly wherever he pointed within ten steps.

Let's see, your guns may not be able to fight against our big leader, the big leader flies fast. "Zhu Fugui: "..."

He remembered what his village guard had said: a gun is fast at a distance of seven steps, and is both accurate and fast within seven steps.

Especially the revolver, everyone practices it, practicing the revolver Iai.

The special revolver for copper bullets can fire several shots in a second, and it is very accurate.

Why are you still flying broken arrows? I am just using an iron pick. Can your chief Tu Yajie be faster than me?

Ten steps is very far, and requires explosive power. The flying chisel cannot be blocked by ordinary defense.

"This... I think Chief Tu Yajie relies on this unique skill to protect the safety of the tribesmen. Thank you for your hard work!"

Zhu Fugui couldn't say anything else, so he just praised him and waited for Hanhan to come over. When he saw the drills on Hanhan's waist, he would probably be eager to compete with him. By then...

"We only have this one, and it all depends on the efforts of the tribe members."

Tu Yajie was modest, with a hint of complacency on his face. He thought he was indeed very capable!

The fried fish over there were almost done and were gradually moving upstream. The fried fish were floating downstream.

Fish bombing is extremely destructive. The explosion occurs in water and while the power may appear small on the surface, it is actually the shock waves of the water that kill the fish.

The only thing that can be compared to frying fish is electrofishing, which is equally destructive and kills all fish, turtles and shrimps, no matter big or small.

Everyone looked at it and prepared the food. Everyone else stewed the fish because it was the most convenient. Zhu Fugui chose extra fish to make other dishes.

Including shrimps, there are few big shrimps in the river, unlike in the sea. The shrimps are fried directly without being wrapped in flour. There is little flour here, just like growing rice!

There is only a little wheat in the other fields, and the rest is small grains and vegetables.

The tribe raised poultry and twenty pigs. The pigpen was very dirty and looked unappetizing.

Fortunately, they do not feed human feces to pigs. They know how to make compost. Following Liu Sheng's example, they ferment pig manure and human feces together, adding wood ash, hay, etc.

In the winter, they froze into blocks and were placed on the ground to wait for them to thaw. There was a lot of straw available, so they mixed the straw together and set it on fire.

If you do this in the summer, natural smoke may occur, but it rarely happens and is usually caused by active ignition.

Fish intestines and the like can be fed to chickens and ducks, but geese won't eat them. They need to be cooked before being fed to pigs, as feeding them raw will make them sick.

"Soak the beans tonight and make tofu tomorrow. Our team doesn't have any other auxiliary tools, so let's take our time!"

While eating fish, Zhu Fugui found that he was missing tofu, so he made a fish head tofu pot!
The tribe has soybeans and mung beans. Soybeans are used to make tofu, and mung beans... are used to make pancakes? Anyway, they can't make soybean juice. The villagers only drink soybean juice occasionally, but it doesn't taste very good.

The production of bean juice and mung bean is different from that of soy milk. It is not just a matter of beans. Bean juice has an extra process: fermentation!

The taste and texture... is like... swill? It is actually better for the gastrointestinal tract, as it helps digestion and balances the gastrointestinal flora.

Cheese has a similar effect, but some people don’t like to eat it because they think it has a bad smell.

"Listen to Zhu Chaoguan and soak the beans. Sometimes we also make tofu, but there are a lot of leftover bean dregs, which is not cost-effective!"

Tu Yajie: It's all right. If they want to make it, let them do it! Anyway, I think the tofu I made is not very good, so it's better to stew it.
