Before Ji Liang could figure out the specific secret of "burning the boiler", they had already arrived at the entrance of Xincun.
At this time, the villagers who heard the news had already lined up on both sides of the village to welcome them.
Thus, the Langyun people, led by Ji Liang and Professor Bian, fully experienced what it meant to be welcomed with a line of people.
The villagers, who were originally refugees, were indeed extremely grateful to the immortal. They had never had the opportunity to have much contact with him before, and it seemed that there was nothing else they could do except burn incense every day.
Now that I finally have the opportunity, I am naturally extra enthusiastic.
Those who have gongs and drums take them, and those who don’t have them take copper basins.
All kinds of trumpets, suonas, and allegro instruments are used, and all kinds of wind, string instruments, and singing are welcome.
Although it's a bit messy, it's lively.
Professor Bian had been staying in the laboratory of Langyun University before. Later, when he had the opportunity to go out on a mission, he stayed in the steel plant in Jiangyi County and did not have much contact with the indigenous people.
Now I'm really shocked.
But he quickly adjusted his attitude and a smile appeared on his face. "It seems that Ji has a good reputation among the people."
Ji Liang was a little curious. Perhaps because the room was so noisy, he had to raise his voice to ensure the other party could hear him. "How did the professor know that?"
Professor Bian smiled and pointed ahead. "Look! The gongs and drums are blaring, the firecrackers are going off, and we're not far from the huge crowds of people with waving red flags."
Ji Liang: ...Bian Yuhang doesn’t like to laugh. It turns out it’s because he laughs too much in his daily life, and he has pre-expended all his smiles!
But the villagers' welcome to the immortal is obviously more than just this.
Because Ji Liang came this time to visit the new village, he was notified a few days in advance.
The original intention was to let the villagers make more preparations and understand the infrastructure clearly, so that when Ji Liang and his men arrived, they would be able to check for any deficiencies and fill them in as quickly as possible.
But the villagers are not only building a new village, they also have time to prepare.
Perhaps inspired by Bian Yuhang asking someone to paint slogans on the rail cars, the villagers tore up red cloth, asked for advice from people in the county town who had contact with immortals, and wrote the welcome message directly on the red cloth.
So now what greeted the Langyun people was a line of large characters:
"Warmly welcome the immortal to come and guide us!"
Coupled with the neatly built houses around and the exceptionally clean streets with white lines, at this moment, everyone in Langyun felt as if they were traveling through time.
It doesn't look like the Qi Kingdom in another world, but more like a small village with a sense of age...
Professor Bian, who had lived through the days of boiler burning, was clearly more moved. He said with emotion, "Though times have changed, places have changed, and even the dimensions have changed, the passion of the working people remains unchanged." He patted Ji Liang on the shoulder and said, "If you can build this place well, you'll have a promising future."
Ji Liang seemed to have not yet recovered from the big red banner. Upon hearing this, he asked in a daze, "Professor, are you talking about getting more points after completing the mission?"
Professor Bian replied with a smile: "After you travel back, you can use your experience to lead people in poverty alleviation."
Ji Liang blinked, and then sighed in his heart——
A professor is a professor. He only sees the present, while others see the future!
I even planned my work for when I get back!
This also reminded Ji Liang that he came not to attend the party, but to be a qualified cadre!
His goal is to build a new village!
So Ji Liang quickly raised his hand and pressed down gently.
Perhaps because everyone's attention was on them, Ji Liang only made a small movement, but like a band conductor, he easily made them stop.
The entrance to Xincun, which was extremely noisy just now, became quiet in the blink of an eye.
Ji Liang, on the other hand, skillfully displayed the dignity expected of an Immortal Lord and said calmly, "I want to take a look here."
The villagers immediately put away what they were holding and took quick action. Everyone had an excited look on their face, and it was obvious that they were extremely enthusiastic about building this place.
However, the reason why they are so active is slightly different from Ji Liang's.
The villagers don’t know what the system is, nor do they understand what points are, but they know very well how much this village means to them.
Perhaps the refugees knew nothing when they arrived in Fenghe County, and the illiteracy rate was high, but after a period of study, and with officials from the county magistrate's office always coming to them regularly to reveal some of the county's intentions, everyone now knows everything.
The new village is not only their new village, but also the new village of Fenghe County.
Once this place is built, Qi State will have obtained a model village, which will naturally benefit the people. It will also allow other places to learn from the experience here and go back to renovate their own villages.
As for the benefits to the villagers, there are even more.
Since it is a model village, how could it not be taken seriously?
Once it is valued, it will naturally benefit the villagers.
This directly led to the entire village having 120% enthusiasm for construction, and now they are actively taking the Immortal King around to show him their work results.
As the main person in charge of this task, Ji Liang has been following up on the construction progress here through the system.
He was not stingy with praise at this moment. Wherever he went, he praised the place, fully demonstrating the excellent qualities that a master of keeping things balanced should have.
This made every time he spoke, there would be cheers.
Professor Bian looked at him with a smile, thinking that the slogans held up by the people here before were not wrong.
This really does feel like a leadership inspection.
While Ji Liang was serving water to the villagers, Professor Bian's eyes were looking around, especially focusing on the ponds, pools, various farm tools, etc. where work was about to begin.
However, everyone has their own expertise. As an energy worker, he does not have a deep understanding of agriculture.
So Professor Bian asked Ji Liang, "Mr. Ji, can you tell me about it?"
While he was speaking, the villagers who followed him were very considerate and kept their mouths shut. They even took a few steps back, for fear of disturbing the immortal's conversation.
They even thought that if the immortal asked them to do so, they would retreat now and never cause trouble here.
But it was obvious that Ji Liang didn't want to avoid anyone.
First of all, this is not a secret. We will teach them when their education level is improved.
Secondly, even if I speak it myself, the indigenous people will not understand.
So Ji Liang said directly: "Professor Bian, I plan to establish an ecological model here similar to a farm, where materials can be recycled and energy is as clean as possible."
Bian Cheng glanced at the large pond and thought, "Using biogas?"
Ji Liang nodded directly. "Yes, because Fenghe County has always been dominated by agriculture, and the land here is very suitable for agricultural development, so I plan to start the new village with farming, animal husbandry, and fish and duck farming. This way, the by-products of these can be used not as garbage, but to ferment biogas, which provides energy. At the same time, we can also produce biogas residue to make organic fertilizer for fertilizing the fields. As for the biogas liquid, it can also be processed and sent to fish ponds. Fish and duck farming require this."
Ji Liang then went on to say a long thing, all of which were his visions for the future of the new village.
He originally liked these things, otherwise he would not have chosen agronomy when his classmates in the gifted class all dreamed of the stars and the sea.
Now when he talks about related things, he talks incessantly, with light in his eyes.
Professor Bian listened very attentively and did not look down on the student in front of him just because he was a young man.
When Ji Liang finished speaking, Professor Bian concluded, "In other words, this place will have a recycling system for energy and biomass, right?"
Ji Liang nodded repeatedly.
Professor Bian thought about it and asked, "How do you plan to make a profit?"
Ji Liang had a plan in mind: "Use agricultural products, whether it's grain or chicken, duck, fish or meat, all of these can be profitable."
"But all of this takes time. How are you going to get the initial funding?"
"Don't worry, Professor. This is a model village. County Magistrate Zhuang has personally promised that all funds for the construction process will be funded by the county. As long as we can see results this year, Fenghe County will provide the money and manpower if needed."
This made Teacher Bian laugh again: "You did a great job, you actually managed to attract government investment."
Ji Liang felt a little embarrassed by the compliment and replied with a smile, "Actually, this can also be called a Qi State-specific poverty alleviation project."
The villagers who were helped up were also listening, but just as Ji Liang had expected, they were still confused.
But they still nodded along with Ji Liang's words, looking like they were listening attentively.
Even if they don't understand, it doesn't stop them from sighing at how powerful the Immortal King is!
Professor Bian walked around the pond and said, "Since we have sufficient funds, let's build more. Although I don't know much about business, generally speaking, the products after secondary processing are definitely more valuable than the raw materials. Plus, you are next to the railway, which means transportation is also very convenient. So we can build a factory."
As soon as these words came out, Ji Liang's eyes lit up: "Oh, that's right, why didn't I think of that!"
Professor Bian was not arrogant. "You can contact the relevant departments in the school for related matters and ask them to provide you with some support. What I can help you with here is energy and tools."
Ji Liang was slightly stunned: "What energy?"
Professor Bian smiled and replied, "Maybe many people don't pay much attention to agricultural products, but they are actually one of the lifeblood of a region. Since you're using new seeds and fertilizers, the volume is probably huge. To process it properly, every step requires the help of machinery, farm tools, or semi-automatic tools."
As soon as these words were spoken, Ji Liang's eyes lit up.
All he has been thinking about until now is the tractor. In fact, he just wants to directly pull the progress bar to mechanical farming to free the cows and his hands.
Although Professor Bian said it was semi-automatic, it is still better than relying on manpower to rush in!
Ji Liang's eyes lit up immediately. "How is the professor going to modify the farm tools?"
Professor Bian looked into the distance again, thought for a moment, and then said, "The specific preparations will need to be tailored to your actual situation, but one thing is certain: we will use the improved steam engine here."
Ji Liang blinked: "Isn't that thing used on trains?"
Professor Bian smiled and said, "It can be used anywhere, and the size can be changed."
"Will the professor change it?"
"Yes, the basic principles are similar."
"What's the principle? I don't quite understand."
"Just think of it like the lid of a kettle being lifted up. That's a form of energy. As for whether it makes a train run or a sickle run, it all depends on what you create. Ultimately, all you need to do is find a way to make the water boil."
"How?"
"Fire the boiler."
Ji Liang: ...
It is indeed related to my major!
Teacher Bian was just joking about his own major. As for the name, it was based on the historical context of the time. Only by using a down-to-earth naming method can it attract students.
So things like "boiler burning", "electric welding", and "tractor" appeared.
Later, it was changed to a more upscale name for enrollment considerations.
In fact, the content learned is the same, especially Professor Bian’s major, which is particularly hardcore, and the students he teaches are also very capable.
Before long, he added a lot of things to the new village.
Of course, these were all system tasks. Professor Bian took the points and was very satisfied, and the people in the new village also began to learn these...new things one by one.
They would write these down in letters and send them to their village head, Mandong Muramasa.
At this time, Wan Dong was working in the steel plant in Jiangyi County, feeling like a fish in water and unable to extricate himself.
He was a blacksmith before the disaster, so he was very familiar with these things.
This time, while learning driving skills from the immortal, I also visited the steel plant.
As a result, I was quickly fascinated by it after just one look.
A blast furnace like never before.
A method of ironmaking I had never heard of before.
Even the whirring blowers were something Wan Dong could stare at all day without getting bored.
However, he did not forget his job and kept in touch with Xincun.
But their way of communication ultimately remained at the level of letters, either writing or drawing, and neither side was well-educated, with little knowledge and few adjectives.
To put it in a metaphor, what you see is a riot of colour, a sense of novelty and shock, but in the end, all that is written on the paper are just four words:
Wow, that’s awesome!
So Wandong never knew what the new village would become, but this did not prevent him from encouraging the villagers to cooperate with the immortal and study hard.
At the same time, he has never slacked off in his study of rail vehicles.
By midsummer, he finally got Bian Yuhang's nod, indicating that he could end his internship and officially become a full-time employee.
Bian Yuhang presented him with a small plaque in a formal manner.
Wan Dong took the sign in his hand and looked at it. He found that the workmanship was similar to the one issued by the county after passing the previous Tongsheng test, and the material was also similar, but the words on it had changed.
He read it out loud: "Fenghe County Driving License, No. 000001."
Bian Yuhang said: "Congratulations, you are the first person in the world to obtain a driver's license."
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone in his pocket vibrated.
It goes without saying that this is the completion of a small task.
I guess there will be news about the points reward arriving soon.
This made Bian Yuhang's expression more relaxed. Originally, he hadn't planned to send Wandong, but the mission points made Bian very satisfied, so he changed his mind: "It just so happens that a batch of goods needs to be sent from Jiangyi County to Fenghe County in the next few days. You can drive it, and I'll watch you from the side."
After hearing this, Wan Dong immediately straightened his back excitedly.
However, this excitement turned into nervousness after entering the driver's seat of the car: "Immortal Lord, what if I make a mistake?"
Bian Yuhang knew very well that this type of rail car was very easy to drive.
It will only be dazzling when there are too many functions. At this stage, rail vehicles are just starting up, and all you need to do are start, move forward, and stop. You don’t even need to learn how to turn. The vehicle will go wherever the tracks go. It is not difficult. The training of Wandong during this period is mainly for future preparations. As for this rail vehicle, it is really not difficult.
But Bian Yuhang didn't intend to tell the truth, so as not to make the new driver feel proud, so he said: "You have learned well, just be careful."
Wan Dong took a deep breath and finally stood in front of the driver's seat. He grabbed the gear lever in front of him and asked again, "Immortal Lord, where are we going?"
Bian Yuhang subconsciously replied, "Drive to the edge of the city."
Wan Dong: ...Ah?
Bian Yuhang coughed lightly and said, "Fenghe County, just move forward."
Wan Dong then nodded and pushed the gear lever.
The fuel had been filled at the back, and soon the railcar made a familiar "beep" sound, slowly started, and ran forward along the rails.
Wandong was lucky and the journey was particularly smooth.
Although we encountered a few horse riders who wanted to compete with the train in speed, this situation is common and nothing new.
Everything went smoothly until the rail car stopped outside Fenghejun New Village.
Wan Dong and Bian Yuhang got out of the car, and then called on the villagers to come out and help unload the goods.
There are many things in here that are for Xincun, including some spare parts that even Wandong doesn’t recognize, but since they have been shipped here, they must be useful.
However, when Wandong saw the things his fellow villagers had come to transport, his eyes widened: "What is this?"
At some point, a railway line was built into the new village.
But this railroad track is obviously not the one for the railcar emitting white smoke. It is relatively narrower and thinner.
There was a small cart moving on top, but it had no front. It looked more like several carts connected together with wheels. Instead, there was a pole in the middle that was pressed back and forth by two people.
Just click and go...
What a weird thing... No, it's a good thing!
Bian Yuhang recognized it at a glance: "This is a human-powered rail vehicle. It's not very capable of long-distance travel, but it's quite convenient for transporting goods over short distances."
Wan Dong was a little confused: "When was this repaired?"
The villagers who came out to greet Muramasa heard this and hurriedly said, "We wrote it in the letter to Muramasa."
"...When did you write it? Why didn't I see it?"
"About half a month ago, I even drew a picture."
Wan Dong tried hard to recall and finally remembered: "The one you were talking about, 'one shot and go, excellent weight bearing', is this it?"
"Yeah, what do you think, Muramasa?"
"I thought you had bought a new donkey."
…
It seems that this is a reasonable way of thinking.
Wan Dong felt that this human-powered rail car was his biggest surprise today.
But obviously, he underestimated his village's ability to create surprises.
Just as he and Bian Yuhang entered the village gate, they saw villagers dressed differently.
Still wearing a short-sleeved shirt and long pants, but I just feel something is different.
No matter how I look at it, it seems to be the style that Immortal Langyun likes...
As for the farm tools they were carrying, Wan Dong had never seen them before.
The villagers now no longer look like they were displaced.
Although they were no longer considered refugees after being taken in by Fenghe County, the experience of being displaced and almost starving to death was still difficult to erase.
This makes them always look ahead and behind, and be very cautious, for fear that they will be driven out and become refugees again if they do something wrong.
But now the villagers of Xincun no longer have such inferiority and cowardice.
Instead, there is an extraordinary sunshine and confidence.
Especially when they see Wan Dong, they will greet him with a smile.
But after seeing Bian Yuhang, he would bow and salute, and no longer be startled like before, which made Bian Yuhang very satisfied.
He also doesn't like people kowtowing to him all the time.
Especially every time I worship him like a Buddha, I always feel it is weird.
Now it was very natural, and Bian Yuhang felt relieved: "Your village is developing well."
Under normal circumstances, if Wan Dong received praise from the Immortal Lord, he would definitely express his gratitude.
But this time, Wan Dong’s eyes weren’t enough, and his brain wasn’t enough either.
After a long while, he whispered, "Where did these farm tools come from?"
Bian Yuhang took a look and said, "The steel plant in Jiangyi County, haven't you seen it there before?"
“…But the people at the factory said it was the county governor who wanted it.”
"Your village is now the focus of the county capital. You can skip the government office and communicate directly with the county governor. It might not be an exaggeration to call it a directly governed village." After a pause, Bian Yuhang looked at Wan Dong and said, "So, if you, the new village chief, meet officials like the county magistrate in the future, they will have to bow to you."
Wan Dong: ...
Sudden promotion, caught off guard!
And at this moment, they had already walked towards the farmland.
But before seeing the farmland, the first thing you see is a pond where fish and ducks are raised.
This pond is different from ordinary fish ponds.
On the surface, it looked calm, and the fish in it and the ducks and geese on it looked normal. However, Wan Dong soon noticed that there were pipes on both sides of the pond.
It is soaked in water, has a large diameter, and extends to different places under the land on both sides.
Looking along the direction, you can see two factories each.
But they are all covered tightly and it is impossible to see clearly what is going on inside.
Wan Dong asked the villagers who followed him, "What's that place over there?"
The villager, who looked simple and honest, replied honestly, "Biogas treatment plant."
Wan Dong was slightly stunned: "Biogas...what is it?"
The villagers scratched their heads and said, "I don't know either."
Bian Yuhang gave an easy-to-understand explanation: "It's something that can be burned."
But these words made Wan Dong even more confused.
Gas, actually, can burn???
What kind of anger is this!
The villagers nodded hurriedly, as if they had thought of something. "Yes, yes, it can burn very well. I've seen it before. It has blue flames inside and yellow flames outside. I heard that now the fire is only used to burn in the stove. When it's repaired, it can be used at home, so there's no need to burn firewood."
The more Wan Dong listened, the bigger his eyes became.
Bian Yuhang thought he was surprised by the various uses of biogas, but unexpectedly, the man opened his mouth and said, "You said it's blue fire?"
The villagers nodded.
Wan Dong, a die-hard fan of Lang Yun, immediately expressed his confidence: "Then this must be the Immortal Fire!"
Villager: Oh oh!
Bian Yuhang: ...Okay.
However, Wan Dong also knew the benefits of this thing, especially when he heard the villagers say that it was used to burn in the stove, he thought that he must go and see what the stove looked like and what it was used for.
But at this moment, Wan Dong saw a group of people walking towards the farmland excitedly.
Wan Dong asked, "What are they going to do?" He calculated the time and said, "It doesn't seem like it's harvest time now."
The villagers knew how to answer this question and quickly said, "The pumpkin must be ripe."
As soon as these words came out, Wan Dong said, "Take me to have a look."
"Okay, please come this way, Immortal Muramasa."
On the way, what they saw were not only the neatly planted wheat seedlings in the fields, various fruits and vegetables, but also the hard-working people.
It’s okay for farm tools, there are many that Wan Dong doesn’t recognize.
He didn't recognize what they were spreading on the ground.
So, Muramasa, who was trying to familiarize himself with the village, spoke again: "What are they doing?"
The villagers replied: "Fertilizer."
"……What?"
The villagers told him in detail all the methods taught by the immortal.
For the people of Qi, they have no such concept at all, or to the people in this world, farming is a matter of luck and fate.
Weather, land, and seedlings.
These are all determined by God, and we just rely on God for our livelihood.
If the seeds grow after being sown, that's good; if they don't grow, there's nothing you can do.
Therefore, famine often occurs when a disaster occurs, and it is always difficult for countries with poor land to become strong.
But now we have ecological agriculture as support, which includes the production of fertilizers.
The substances it contains, their proportions, and their effects are all written in the textbooks of the Agricultural College, so you can just use them directly.
But for Wan Dong, it was obviously something unheard of!
The villagers emphasized: "It really works and grows very well."
He felt like a human-shaped question mark, and the first three words he opened were: "Why?"
The villagers could not answer this question.
Although Bian Yuhang is not a professional, and as a child who grew up in the city, he basically doesn't know the difference between grains, but he has studied biology and knows some basic common sense.
So now he said, "Your land is already good. What you need to do now is to fertilize it according to the different nutrients required by different crops. If they are well fed, they will naturally grow big."
This principle is not difficult to understand, but Wan Dong obviously has no idea what "growing big" means.
And just then, they had already reached the pumpkin patch.
It happened that two men were picking pumpkins out of a field.
Why do two people have to lift it together?
Wan Dong was stunned, then he looked carefully and saw a large pumpkin being carried out!
The average pumpkin in Qi State weighs only a few pounds, and one can hold two in one hand.
But this... this...
Is this pumpkin swollen? How come it's so big!
Bian Yuhang was not surprised.
This pumpkin seed is probably produced by Langyun. Regardless of whether it is originally available or exchanged through the system, it should be a high-quality variety after cultivation.
With proper fertilization and fertile soil, it would be strange if it didn't grow big.
So he turned to look at Wan Dong.
Then he found Wancun staring at him for a long time before speaking in a trembling voice, "My Lord, I...I have something I don't understand."
"you say."
"This pumpkin has absorbed too much fairy energy. Is it going to become a spirit?"
Bian Yuhang: …???
