Villager of Daming

Chapter 554: Miraculous transformation of Shangyuan Kon (first update)
"Daji, you keep it first while I go to Ha Yi's house to have a look. His house used to be not far from your house, right?"

Seeing that there was nothing going on here, Luo Lu was going to another house. He was familiar with the situation, so he led the team here.

"I'll go with you. I'm sure his house will be buried as well." Da Ji finally returned to his normal state. He was probably suffering from lack of oxygen before.

Herders need to help each other, and no one knows when they will need help from others.

A group of people ran to find another house. As expected, this house couldn't open the door, even though the door opened inward.

Team after team, under the guidance of herdsmen who are familiar with the situation, rescued and helped one herdsman family after another. The rhetoric was the same, asking them to help with the work.

If I don't have any needs, people will be suspicious and have no plans for me. How can you be so nice?What about your army?

While the army was rescuing people, some people were already trying to come out and rescue others.

Some people take this situation into consideration when designing their tents. They leave a small door on the top of the tent so that they can set up a ladder and squeeze out while holding their breath.

More and more herdsmen are being found, and even those who are not buried in the snow must be taken away.

I wanted to give them something before, but looking at the current situation, it would be too much to give them. It would be troublesome to transport them back and forth, so it would be better to settle them outside Helin City.

When the herdsmen saw the sledge, their eyes lit up. When they put on their 'glasses', the world outside became dark again.

"This is a sledge, also called a sled. It was made by the craftsmen brought by our Ming Prince. It saves effort on the snow..."

Luo Lu took the trouble to tell every family that came after him, "We are the Ming Dynasties", and the more he spoke, the more skillfully he became.

The army teams going in different directions began to gather herdsmen, and how to arrange to see His Royal Highness in the future.

……

"The smoke is so big, you still insist on collecting it." Zhu Ping came out of the coal tar collection place and was confused by the smoke.

Zhu Biao was a little better. He didn't go in. He saw that the lamp oil was changed last night and replaced with collected oil that simmers coal coke. It feels almost the same as asphalt.

"Your Highnesses, follow me." The chief led two people into the laboratory in Xiaqiu Village. The children were learning and operating here, and they were all very cautious.

"Look, this is the gas collected during coke refining, and then other things are added, such as ammonia. After a series of reactions are completed, this is gasoline, this is diesel..."

The director said while recalling that he was afraid that he would say something wrong. There were many chemical terms!

It means that coal is oil. It depends on how you process it. The laboratory in Xiaqiu Village can do it, but it cannot be industrialized.

The children who were usually very friendly with the two people were now wearing hats and masks, with cold faces, and ignored others at all.

Hanhan walked behind them, laughing from time to time. This was what happened after the door opened.

When the door was closed, it was Brother Hanhan who taught the children the details of the experiment, especially the things to pay attention to in micro-operations, such as breathing, so that their movements should not be affected by the heartbeat as much as possible.

Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi didn't know why, but they controlled their breathing naturally, not daring to make a sound or even gasping.

The environment of the laboratory and the serious expressions of the children in Xiaqiu Village reminded them of nitroglycerin.

I once demonstrated to them the consequences of a drop of nitroglycerin falling to the ground, something almost indistinguishable from a drop of water, boom...

Zhu Biao took a look, grabbed his brother, and turned to the head of the house to signal, "Go out, go out and say."

The chief also nodded silently, and the three of them walked out cautiously. After taking a few more steps, Zhu Biao and Zhu Chong let out a sigh of relief.

"It's too depressing there. I'm afraid of bumping into things and disturbing people." Zhu Ping wiped his sweat. "Is this where the village's technology was developed? I don't know what many of the utensils are used for." Zhu Biao was equally nervous.

"Actually, these can be industrialized over time. There is no need at the moment. We need to reserve technology first.

Coal can not only make oil, but can also make many other things. The only problem is the threshold and cost of scale.

Of course, it also depends on whether the basic industrial system can support it. At best, we can use the things made in the laboratory ourselves. "

The director is afraid that the two of them will think too much and want everything, so he should tell them in advance that that won't work. Laboratory ones are different from large-scale ones.

Zhu Xi nodded: "We know, just like there is a shortage of salt in the local area now, the laboratory in the village can produce it, but the quantity is very small, not enough for everyone."

"How long will it take for winter to pass?" Zhu Biao was anxious to build the earthen fort. He couldn't stay in the north all the time. He also wanted to go home to see his son!

"At least two months, it's a good opportunity to prepare more things." The head of the village gave the answer according to the time Hanhan said, which was the third month of the lunar calendar.

Generally, the snow here begins to melt. Sometimes it is particularly hot in a certain year, so you have to move in advance to catch up with the cold weather. Two months later it will still be more than ten degrees below zero.

In the coldest place, the latitude is five degrees different from today, and heating starts in September and ends in June.

Normally, one latitude differs by [-] degrees, and five latitudes are only three degrees. When Helin encounters cold weather, it is normal for heavy snowfall in July and August.

……

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, more lanterns were made and hung at the entrance of every camp and herdsman tent to illuminate.

After the Lantern Festival, the number of lanterns will be reduced, but they should always be there so that the herdsmen can feel the warmth.

The herdsmen who were found from various places also settled in their homes. Their tents were also repaired and enlarged, and a set of other stoves and other things were given to them.

They immediately started working after taking a break and took time to learn literacy.

When they saw the frozen fish thrown into the snow one by one, they couldn't believe that they were familiar to Helincheng.

Those children were running around happily. There were fish, a lot of fish, and they couldn't eat them all.

Daji's family of seven were the first to be rescued. They were familiar with Luo Lu's family and pitched their tent behind Luo Lu's house.

"There is coal here. I heard that coal is burned in places in the south. We also looked for it, but we couldn't find it no matter how hard we looked."

Da Ji put his hands on both sides of the stove to bake. He had just gone to the river to help pull the fish. The fish brought from the lower reaches were to be dragged to the shore here. There are many people here and they can make smoked fish.

The people downstream only catch the fish and don’t eat it directly. They wait until it is smoked and sent to them before they eat it. They don’t know how to cook it.

Some even wanted to eat braised fish, so they told us that they had prepared it here and sent it on a large plate. It was frozen and turned into a lump. They could just reheat it.

The people downriver are only responsible for cooking rice and making soup from the vegetables delivered in baskets covered with quilts. All other vegetables are sent over frozen, and they eat some hot.

After Da Ji learned about the situation, his first feeling was peace of mind. The Ming Dynasty's team stretched out for hundreds of miles and the enemy would not attack.

"There are other mines! As soon as they come over, they go directly to the place where they are. I heard that they have people who can figure it out."

Luo Lu lowered his voice when he said the last part, fearing that someone who could figure it out would hear him.
