doomsday survival

Chapter 203 The First Lesson
In the sky in July, the sun is scorching like fire, but the continuous Changbai Mountains are extremely cool, without a trace of extreme heat.

wrong!In a flat valley, it is another scene.

A lime kiln stands in the middle of the flat valley. Black smoke billows from the chimney, and a lot of heat is emitted from the surroundings of the kiln, making people afraid to approach it.

As a result, there was a group of people surrounding the lime kiln, with fiery eyes shining, staring at the kiln closely, as if they were afraid of missing something, and turned a blind eye to the heat wave.

"Is it coming soon, Lao Feng?" A tall and strong young man asked.

"Shi Jian, watch your watch, the kiln will be out of the kiln in an hour." An old man next to him urged.

That's right, they are Shi Jian and Feng Kuang, and the others are members of the newly established Chang'an tribe.

The Chang'an tribe has been established for a month.During this month, people who did not originally belong to the same tribe get along very well.

The Changbai people did not feel discriminated against because the Xing'an people were outsiders, nor did the Xing'an people feel superior because they supported the tribe with a large amount of supplies.

Everything is so harmonious, the two parties are like relatives and friends who have lived together for decades, and even minor conflicts have never occurred.

Regarding this situation, neither Shi Jian nor Wang Lie thought of it.The expected running-in period passed smoothly in this way.

"Perhaps it's because human beings value each other's feelings more in the last days. Of course," Feng Kuang explained to Shi Jian, who was puzzled, "the most important thing is that the moral concepts of our two films are closer."

After hearing this, Shi Jian pondered for a long time, and realized that this was the only way to explain it.

If it is said that in the last days, how much human beings attach importance to the feelings between compatriots, then Shi Jian categorically does not believe it.

The violent bear tribe I met before is a tribe that believes in the law of the jungle. The relationship between them has almost disappeared, and the only thing that remains is the family, the flesh and blood.

In contrast, the Changbai tribe and the Xing'an tribe are very similar in one point.That is, they all believe in the goodness of human nature and strive to practice it in their own tribe.

Maybe they are all tribes dominated by the Chinese. The old adage "at the beginning of human beings, nature is good" has long been deeply engraved in the depths of their souls.

However, regardless of whether it was because of this reason or not, Shi Jian was still very satisfied with the current situation of the Chang'an Tribe, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the great cause of education.

Shi Jian's knowledge is very complicated, and he has a mobile phone that stores a lot of data, so it is no problem to teach these children.

However, his students are not only children, but also many adults. These people are all forced by Shi Jian.For this reason, he really set up a night school to explain some practical knowledge to these people after dinner.

In the eyes of Changbai people, only how to plant the land well and produce more grain can be regarded as practical.They have been digging food in the land almost every day for 50 years. They are already very familiar with farming, and they are very disdainful of Shi Jian's forced lectures.

Fortunately, under Wang Lie's insistence, the first batch of students sat in the classroom despite their reluctance.

Shi Jian could also understand the psychology of these people. Anyone who was in his dozens years old would feel resentful if he went to listen to a young man's class.

"Everyone here is much older than me. Some of them I have to call Big Brother, some I even have to call Uncle. Today, it's not considered a class, it's just to communicate with everyone." Shi Jian expressed his posture Swing low.

His approach really won everyone's favor, and the dissatisfaction in his heart dissipated somewhat.

"Let me ask you a question first, what is the most tiring time for us to farm?" Shi Jian asked pretending not to understand.

A man in his 30s stood up and said, "What's the point? Of course it's time to plow the land."

"Then how do we plow the land?" Shi Jian still pretended to be confused.

"What else can I do, the ox pulls the plow. But with just four oxen, it can't be plowed, and some land has to be digged with a hoe, and I'm so tired all day long!" the man muttered.

Shi Jian knew about this situation a long time ago. He had specifically asked Wang Lie before, and he also knew something about Changbai's farming methods.

The Northeast is sparsely populated, and mechanized operations have long been used, and the original plows pulled by oxen are almost gone.

When Changbai was first built, it took a lot of effort to open up these cultivated lands, but human cultivation has always been maintained.

Although many people know plowshares, few have seen them, let alone used them.Fortunately, there were two good carpenters in the tribe who made a very primitive plow according to the description, which made the two hard-earned cattle come in handy.

Shi Jian took the picture of the plow on his mobile phone and compared it with the Changbai plow, and found that the two are very different, and from a mechanical point of view, the efficiency is not high.Therefore, this became the first breakthrough point for him to become famous.

After the man finished nagging, Shi Jian said with a smile: "Actually, you don't have to be so tired. You just need to improve the plow."

"Improvement is easy for you to say. Our family has not improved it for three generations." Another man in his 40s stood up. This man is a carpenter in the tribe.

Shi Jian didn't argue, turned around and drew a plow shape on the blackboard with chalk.The chalk was made by Feng Kuang for him, and the blackboard was directly blackened with pine smoke, and the conditions were so poor.

The carpenter looked at Shi Jian's drawing with disdain, but when Shi Jian continued to paint, he became more and more frightened.He was surprised not because Shi Jian drew the shape of the plowshare, but because of Shi Jian's drawing method, which allowed him to understand how to do this thing at a glance.

As a major in mechanical manufacturing, Shi Jian is very proficient in mechanical drawing. Although the blackboard and chalk are not good enough, it did not affect his performance, and he quickly drew the figure of the plow.

After finishing the painting, he asked the carpenter, "How is it? Can it be made?"

"Yes, it's amazing. If I can't make it even looking at this picture, I, Zhang Dongjie, will have lived for 40 years in vain!" the carpenter clapped his hands and shouted.

"Dongjie, is this thing useful?" Wang Lie asked.

Zhang Dongjie scratched his head and said, "I don't know, I have to figure it out."

Shi Jian said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, I guarantee that this thing is useful. It is much less labor-intensive than the plow we are using now, and it is also stronger."

"Really?" Wang Lie asked suspiciously.

"This Zhang...I'll call him Big Brother Zhang, how long will it take you to make this?" Shi Jian asked Zhang Dongjie.

Zhang Dongjie bowed his head and calculated silently in his heart, and said, "It will take a day."

"Well, let's go here today. When Brother Zhang's plow is ready, let's try it out. If it doesn't work, then I won't teach you any more." Shi Jian said slowly.

Seeing Shi Jian's self-confidence, Zhang Dongjie's confidence in Shi Jian became stronger. He clapped his hands and said, "I will light the torch tonight, and I will do it here. I hope everyone can try it tomorrow morning."

Shi Jian smiled and said to Zhang Dongjie: "Brother Zhang, I'm so sorry, thank you for your hard work."

Zhang Dongjie waved his hand, and a young man who looked similar to him stood up and turned around to leave the classroom.

"My incompetent kid, Zhang Weiliang," Zhang Dongjie introduced to Shi Jian, "I told him to go back and get something."

Shi Jian nodded to express his understanding, and stood there waiting for Zhang Weiliang to come back.Seeing that it was still early and there was nothing left and right, the others also wanted to see Zhang Dongjie making the plow, so they didn't leave.

After a while, I saw Zhang Weiliang running back with a canvas bag on his back, which contained carpenter's tools.Behind him were two and a half children, each carrying a wooden square, and those two were Zhang Weiliang's twin brothers.

Zhang Dongjie did what he said, and immediately started to do it before it was dark.He carefully looked at Shi Jian's drawing, asked some questions that he didn't understand, enlarged the size himself, and started making.

The prototype came out quickly, and the rest is fine repair.Zhang Dongjie and his son repaired the plow carefully. Looking at the time, only four hours had passed.

"Shi Jian, this picture of yours is really good, it made me a lot faster. No, you have to teach us men." Zhang Dongjie couldn't close his mouth with a smile.

It was the first time he had finished a plow so quickly, and it was more complicated than what he had done before.Zhang Dongjie doesn't care whether others learn from Shi Jian, he has already made up his mind to learn this drawing skill with his son.

"Of course Brother Zhang wants to learn, just wait until I arrange it." Shi Jian naturally agreed.

Wang Lie and a few older people came to pick up the plow and fiddled with it. They felt that it was quite handy, and it was lighter than the original one, but they didn't know how practical it would be.

"Oh, let's try again tomorrow morning." Wang Lie sighed, reluctantly put down the plowshare.

This night, Wang Lie really didn't sleep well, he got up at dawn and went straight to the barn, where the plowshare was put last night.

When he got to the barn, Shi Jian had already been waiting there.

To be honest, Shi Jian was also a little uneasy, he didn't know whether the plow could achieve good results.But looking at the shape after molding, it should be much stronger than the original one from a mechanical point of view.

The two stood together and chatted for a while. After a while, people in twos and threes came over. Everyone wanted to see if Shi Jian's design could be useful.

Wang Lie didn't let anyone else try it. He drove the ox to an empty wasteland by himself. After harnessing the plow, he held the plow and started the first experiment.

He only walked about 20 meters, and everyone could see how convenient this new plow was.Not only the speed, but the plowed soil on the ground is also much deeper, which is incomparable from before.

"Great! Shi Jian, you have to tell me what's going on with this plow!" Wang Lie asked with a smile.
