Villager of Daming

Chapter 561: There is a misunderstanding and a message needs to be sent (fourth update)
The news that Zhu Yuanzhang heard was completely different from the real situation in Lin Cheng.

All those who are familiar with the situation there in Yingtian Mansion would never imagine the situation in that place now.

Some of them came from there, and were born there as children, grew up slowly, and later arrived at Yingtian Mansion.

Their impression of Helin, or the whole winter in the North, was that people were freezing to death, not having enough to eat, the tents were smoky, and they were helpless as they watched the sheep scratch their hooves.

Then I couldn’t go out, and if the wind blew further away, I wouldn’t be able to come back. If the sun came out, my eyes would be so dazzled that I couldn’t see the road clearly.

That memory was full of pain, loneliness, fear, struggle, and inner escape.

This is their true feeling and there is nothing wrong with it.

It's a pity that Helin City and its surroundings are warm now, with smooth roads, plenty of fish to eat, fresh vegetables every day, and the most comfortable thing is drinking wine.

Then wash your hands with soap, then apply glycerin or petroleum oil, wear a dog-skin hat when going out, and wear special glasses in front of your eyes.

When it gets cold, quickly find a place with a stove, drink hot soup, warm yourself up by the fire, and then go out to work.

I set aside at least half an hour to study every day. If I sneeze, I quickly go to the tent where the imperial physician stays and ask the imperial physician to take a look.

There is no such thing as bitter cold in Helin City. It is clearly a paradise. You have everything you need and you don't lack anything.

Many sergeants who came from the south for the first time didn't know that they were used to it and listened to orders, and then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the King of Qin came down.

Not to mention Xiaqiu Village, I am too familiar with it, I always hear about them.

The local herdsmen are different. They know how big the difference is between now and before. Can the Ming army fight?You'll understand when you see Bei Yuan running away.

The most surprising thing is the local construction of the Ming army. It's cold winter!Where is the awe of the Northland winter?
They even give out creamy ice cream!It’s hot in the tent!Eat something cool.

The herdsmen have a sense of belonging, and the Ming Dynasty is the strongest. They defy heaven!

When the snow is falling heavily outside the tent, the cold wind is howling, and the children are sitting next to the stove happily eating ice cream with preserved fruits and dried fruits, the herdsmen completely let go of their guarded hearts, and they are the people of the Ming Dynasty.

……

"Brother, should we send the news back? Logically speaking, no matter how difficult the journey is, the flow of information cannot be interrupted."

Zhu Xi told his brother that he had not mentioned this matter before because the road was too difficult to walk. He sent a team of a hundred people and it would be good for ten people to survive.

It's not like we have to go to war to pass on important information, so we have no choice but to pass on the information even if we die.

The two brothers have been holding back, who is going to die?In such a climate, how many people can reach Yingtian Mansion alive?
Now the situation has changed. If there is something good that can take people out, Zhu Xi will mention it.

"Ask the village chief to see how far the snowmobile can go." Zhu Biao also wanted to send a message back, telling his parents and wife that he was safe.

"Let's go!" Zhu Xi said, dragging his brother to find the chief.

When they found the director, they were stunned.

There are ten...ships placed in front?A boat with sleds underneath?
"The prince and King Qin are here? Just in time! Ten more boats with sleds will be ready tomorrow.

After polishing it, it can be sent to Nanjing. The ship is made of iron and has a hollow center.

At present, these are the only ones that are made by fire welding in the laboratory. They are cast first and then welded.

It's not brazing of tin-lead alloy, it's about taking out a diesel blowtorch. This temperature can be suitable for welding steel.

There is still a long way to go before industrialization. The other two are acetylene and oxygen. Acetylene is easy to make.

When the temperature is as high as [-] degrees, coke and lime react to form acetylene, and oxygen becomes laborious, especially the collection and compression.In the laboratory, oxygen can be produced, but it is not enough for welding. The oxygen is enough to save lives. "

The captain introduced the situation of the iron boat, including the ceramic tube in front of the diesel blowtorch.

The technology needed to weld an iron ship with a hollow center is not what the Ming Dynasty has now, and lead-tin alloy cannot be used.

Xiaqiu Village uses diesel blowtorch fire welding, and the blowtorch naturally represents pressurization!Then you can have gasoline blowtorches, kerosene blowtorches, and alcohol blowtorches.

The technology of this blowtorch is definitely not just for welding with diesel blowtorches, it can also be used for other things.

"Then what?" Zhu Xi rubbed his temples. He had overestimated Xiaqiu Village again and again, but he encountered things he didn't understand again and again.

"Then the snowmobiles with left and right tracks dragged twenty iron boats with sleds underneath, and ran to the edge of the Yellow River, then entered the river and continued running.

When we got to the Hukou Waterfall, the boat had wheels like our bicycles, so the shock absorption wasn't very good, but I guess you don't mind.

From there, you can walk a section of land on wheels, then enter the lower reaches of Hukou Waterfall and continue running on the ice.

Change wheels where there is no ice, set up sleds where there is ice, and finally the canal on the Henan side.

The steam engine is removed and connected to the ship's transmission system. The ship is the same type of steam engine ship as before.

It requires craftsmen to follow, and there are parts that can be replaced at any time to avoid being broken and thrown on the road.

Coal and water are also brought along, plus other supplies. Twenty ships require at least sixty craftsmen, leaving room for twenty people in the end.

In addition to storing those things in other places, it is not important to bring dozens of kilograms of local specialties. "

The chief explained the situation and exchanged parts back and forth. From here to the Yellow River, follow the Yellow River and enter the canal. After reaching the Yangtze River, the upstream section is the Qinhuai River.

Then we're home. Anyway, this whole journey relies on steam engines and it's a long way around.

"Based on this, how long will it take to send the news back?" Zhu Biao knew as soon as he heard this that he wanted to use the snow and ice to speed up.

Of course, with water, the boat is just as fast, but it is slower on land.

"If it's slower, it'll be 20 days; if it's faster, it'll be half a month, including the time to repair the equipment if it breaks down." The manager gave the answer.

The season is so fast now. It won't work without snow. We can't leave before the Yellow River thaws. It's full of ice and can crush the boat.

"Okay, okay! I'll go back and write a letter. Brother, you...ah! I'll go in and write a letter."

Zhu Xi wanted to go back to his palace and write a letter to his parents. When he saw his brother entering the palace, he realized that there were four treasures of the study here.

He followed in, thinking about what he wanted to write, and suddenly felt a little sad again.

My brother has a princess, but I don’t have one yet!There could have been one before, but that one was Wang Baobao's sister.

If this is accepted, how can the couple have a heart-to-heart relationship?Aren't you afraid that someone will suddenly come to you while they are sleeping?

If Wang Baobao has always been so strong, he took the concubine just for Wang Baobao. After the marriage is over, what will happen to Wang Baobao?
Now he has escaped, but he has to find a Princess Qin to have more sons.

Look how fun it is to see your brother’s son!Can you climb now?

"Go and tell the general, let the general write a letter, and finally go back once." Zhu Ping thought and shouted.
