Pei Wen was suddenly called and looked at her blankly.
After realizing what she was talking about, he laughed helplessly: "Is this how you assign tasks now, leader?"
Si Lan also smiled and looked at him: "Then can you do it?"
"You ask a man if he can do it?"
"Can I?"
"..." Pei Wen calculated the current conditions and finally nodded honestly: "We can give it a try."
This was exactly what Si Lan wanted, and she immediately implemented the task: "Then I'll leave it to you."
Pei Wen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He shook his head and replied, "Yes, boss."
When everyone heard that there would be lights in the future, they were extremely excited and immediately looked at Pei Wen with higher regard.
Of course, I finally understood why Si Lan insisted on waiting for him to come back and bring him along.
It would take some time to replan the salt field. In order to facilitate Si Lan and others' reference, Xu Changfeng recounted in detail what happened at that time.
Fortunately, this sea is not an inland sea, and the tsunami caused is usually greatly weakened when it approaches the land, and the waves caused are not large or high. If the location of the salt field is correct this time, the subsequent tsunami threat can basically be avoided.
Si Lan and others worked together to measure and divide the new site.
Moving away from the beach, the construction of the salt field requires additional transportation of soil and mud.
The advantage of the sand on the beach can no longer be used, and additional space must be cleared, which is the most troublesome part.
Fortunately, Yuan Kuo learned that something had happened at the salt field, and within two days after Si Lan and the others set off, he sent another group of camp residents to follow and lend them a hand.
With sufficient manpower, a group of people worked on a targeted basis and the efficiency was quite high. Within a few days, the prototype of the new salt field was completed.
With the lessons learned, this time we also built a tidal buffer zone in front of the salt field.
When the large salt ditch was finally dug, it passed under the buffer zone, so the salt field was no longer afraid of tsunamis to a large extent.
After completing the construction of this large salt field, the residents who originally guarded the salt field also built a waterwheel to collect tides.
The previous waterwheel was broken up by the tsunami, but some of the parts and materials can be recycled. Combined with the newly polished materials, it was reassembled quite quickly.
A group of people spent more than a week to renovate the salt field inside and out.
When the tidal capacity of the big salt ditch was tested again, everyone watched quietly as the sea water was sucked into the salt ditch by several large water trucks and then into the salt field, and a heavy stone in their hearts was finally put down.
At this time, everyone was busy setting up the base, while Si Lan went to find Pei Wen, who was working alone with Qian Ming to experiment with making electric lights.
"How's it going? Is it going well?"
She has been busy these days and is covered in mud. Even though this game has a daily self-cleaning function, it doesn't prevent her from being covered in mud now.
Pei Wen turned around and looked at her, his brow furrowed with amusement. He immediately pulled her over and said, "Are you tired? You're so dirty. I'll boil a bucket of hot water for you to rinse off."
Si Lan didn't quite understand: "It's clean again in the early morning, why bother? It's okay if it's dirty."
Pei Wen couldn't help but sigh: "What's wrong with not liking it? At least wipe your face with water. Hurry up, if you don't do it, I will."
Si Lan was puzzled. She looked at him twice and wiped his face with her hand: "You are dirty too. Take care of yourself first."
Pei Wen was stunned.
After a while, he wiped his face with the back of his hand: "Is it dirty?"
"Look in the water."
"It's dirty, so what? What do you care about me?"
"Then why do you care about me???"
The two suddenly started arguing about who controls whom, but the conversation was nothing more than "you control me" and "then why do you control me" which was an extremely boring one.
Qian Ming couldn't stand it any longer. Even though Pei Wen was his top boss and teacher, he couldn't help but say, "That's enough, two bosses, can we just focus on our work???"
How can you be so childish???
As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them looked at him.
Pei Wen was very dissatisfied and pushed the newly extracted glass piece in front of him: "Isn't this the real business?"
Si Lan, who had just sat down and was about to rest for a while, left with nothing to do, asked, "Are you implying something?"
Qian Ming: “…”
For some reason, I suddenly felt the pressure and immediately admitted my mistake: "I was wrong, bosses."
The main thing is that I didn't expect that after all the chatter, the progress of the work didn't get delayed in the end.
Pei Wen snorted, withdrew his gaze and continued to tinker with the earthen furnace in front of him.
Si Lan took a look at his finished product and poked it with her finger: "There are still a lot of impurities."
Pei Wen pulled her hand away: "It's hot."
Si Lan was so annoyed with him. Who was she supposed to be when she was being so cautious?
Too lazy to argue with him, I withdrew my hand: "I remember there was quartz ore, right? Why do you use sea sand to make glass?"
Pei Wen took the opportunity to remove the still warm glass pieces and continued to stir the sea sand in the furnace.
"Mineral resources are not very abundant right now, mining is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and this place is far from the mines."
"Before achieving mineral freedom, they can just try to refine it using basic materials. Once they find the right ratio, they can make it themselves."
"But the communication light station has certain requirements for illumination, and the light bulbs made from this thing don't penetrate far."
"Silly, I'm just looking for the proportions now. I'm making ordinary glass, and the light bulbs on the lampstand must be made directly from the best material."
Si Lan: ???
"So you've been practicing for so long, but you're not doing anything else?"
Pei Wen was also surprised: "How can this not be considered business? I have already prepared what you want, and I've been waiting for you. Didn't you just finish your work and come here?"
Si Lan looked unconvinced: "Is it done? Where's the light bulb? Let me see."
Pei Wen gave Qian Ming a look.
Qian Ming quickly took out the finished light bulb from the wooden box in the tool shed and carefully held it in front of Si Lan: "Here, Boss Si."
Si Lan took it and took a look: Although the handmade light bulbs are far less neat and beautiful than the industrial light bulbs, this one is also quite decent, and you can see the carefulness of the maker.
Pei Wen explained, "Tungsten ore is too difficult to refine, so we can only use substitutes for now."
"We don't have the conditions for inert gas right now, and the bulb life is very short. It is recommended to use it only in emergencies. Normally, it is better to use the communication station like the one at base camp."
Si Lan: "Where's the power generation device?"
"I made a small voltaic battery. Would you like to try it?"
Si Lan nodded.
Qian Ming once again took out a battery pack made of stacked metal sheets and carefully placed it on the ground.
Pei Wen connected the battery pack and the small light bulb. After a hissing sound, the light bulb really lit up slowly. After Qian Ming blocked the light manually, it emitted a bright light.
Si Lan's eyes also lit up.
It was rare for him to show some appreciation: "Of course, a professor is a professor."
Pei Wen raised his eyebrows slightly, and it was not difficult to see his happy mood.
"There are several headlights in Curry. If there are abnormal weather conditions like tsunamis, we can see them at night by turning on the headlights."
"Here at the seaside, the power generation conditions are actually better than at base camp. If you have the time and effort, you could try to build them an electrical communication station. You can use the filament directly instead of a bulb cover, and it should work."
Si Lan: "Sure, I can make a replica when I get back."
"But now that the battery pack is ready... Jiaojiao, can you make a generator?"
Pei Wen rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think I'm a god?"
Then he said, "But if you don't call me Jiaojiao, we can still discuss it."
Si Lan stared at the battery pack and said without thinking: "Brother Pei?"
Pei Wen was stunned.
After a while, seeing that Si Lan's attention was still only on the battery pack, he realized that this little girl was only concerned about his battery pack!
He took a deep breath, quickly calmed down his turbulent mood, and said sullenly: "That thing is really not good. Who has the conditions for it?"
"But I've figured out a way to stabilize power generation. Give me a few days and I'll tell you once I've perfected my idea."
Si Lan nodded: She has a lot of tasks now, and if someone can take care of it, she will naturally take care of it less.
Soon, the people who were finishing their work at the salt field finished their work. Seeing Si Lan and Pei Wen together, they walked over to ask about the progress of the electric lights.
They also discovered that while they were busy, Professor Pei and Qian Ming quietly made the product and completed it. Everyone immediately gathered around him, wanting to see him demonstrate and explain it.
Pei Wen didn't like being surrounded by so many people. He was not used to the noise.
Seeing that everyone was so kind, he looked at Si Lan eagerly, looking for help.
Si Lan knew that he had some psychological problems and his spirit was not as strong and stable as he usually appeared.
She silently took two steps to his side and stood side by side with him, which helped him to calm down a little and talk with peace of mind.
While explaining the principles, we are also teaching the production methods.
Except for some uncommon nouns that he said were difficult to change after getting used to, so he had to ask Si Lan to explain them from a down-to-earth perspective, he explained things in a simple and detailed manner at other times, allowing the residents of the seaside camp to quickly understand and get started.
After explaining the principles and teaching the methods, Si Lan took advantage of the night to test and set up the communication station overnight.
Xu Changfeng's theoretical knowledge wasn't as good as Pei Wen's, but his practical skills and life experience were no less impressive. Ordinary residents built the basic wooden platform, while Xu Changfeng, Pei Wen, and Si Lan connected all the equipment using the firelight. Finally, after removing most of the campfire's light, they all activated the communication station.
As the light bulbs lit up one by one, the crowd could hardly contain their joy.
It was the first time since entering the game that electricity was turned on and the first time that lights were turned on. Everyone couldn't help but cover their faces with excitement, but they didn't dare to cheer loudly because they had to wait for the response from the infrastructure team.
After the power test was completed, everyone disconnected the circuit and officially entered the waiting period.
About a minute later, a half-sized hailstone suddenly fell from the sky.
Under the acceleration of gravity, the hailstones fell onto the metal guide plate connecting the circuit with a clang, and then quickly slid away along the rolling slide on the side.
The guide blade dropped and powered on. A subtle "hissing" sound was heard, and the small light that had been disconnected from the power supply began to shine again, clear and bright in the dark night sky. The infrastructure team displayed a string of code:
【Received.】
Awesome!
