Si Lan looked at the pile of new equipment and finally showed a satisfied expression.
"Can they all be used?"
"Can't I use it? I dare show it to you?"
She walked over, looked at the generator first, then looked up and said, "Would you like a demonstration?"
Pei Wen pointed at the pedals on both sides and said, "Without fuel, we can only generate electricity manually. Why don't you try it yourself?"
Si Lan rolled up her sleeves, walked over and sat on the padded platform, taking a tentative step.
There are not many mature electric wires now. The only tool to test whether it can work normally is the filament. Take out a small section and connect it to the power supply device. With the output power of the generator, it will burn out quickly in just one shot.
So when Si Lan stepped lightly, the generator had already transmitted electricity to the filament.
As an overloaded flame ignited, the filament burned out in a short while, and an unpleasant burning smell filled the air.
Si Lan raised her eyebrows.
Very good, it actually works.
She also tried the chainsaw and drill, which used scaled-down battery packs.
With Pei Wen's continuous attempts and improvements, he is now able to compress each piece of metal to the extreme, and there is no need to use the previous clumsy and heavy devices to store it.
He scaled the improved battery pack to the required power and installed it on the base of his drill and saw.
Si Lan gently flipped the switch, and both of them started to spin at high speed.
It is not as fast as modern mature tools, but its power is not weak either. Si Lan cannot hold it steadily without exerting force.
She held up the electric drill and tried it on a piece of broken wood nearby.
Not to mention, it has strong penetrating power and the holes drilled are smooth and flawless. This tool will be widely used in construction in the future.
Si Lan was very satisfied and put everything back in place: "Okay, okay, this is what a professor like you should do."
Pei Wen: "...You're a hard worker yourself, yet you insist on dragging me into this."
Si Lan asked again: "Can we expand production?"
Pei Wen: "Why don't you praise me first?"
Si Lan was startled and looked over in confusion: "I didn't praise you?"
Pei Wen: "Does that count?"
Si Lan: “…”
Suddenly she turned around and looked at him with her arms crossed: "Jiaojiao."
Pei: “…”
Si Lan curled her lips, her eyes dim, "You're already so old, and you're still waiting for praise after doing good things?"
Pei Wenxin said that you don’t know the situation?
Looking at the hazy and beautiful face under the light of the oil lamp, the words turned around in his throat several times, but he finally swallowed them back.
"I am about to, what's wrong?" He raised his chin slightly, his sharp eyebrows raised arrogantly, and his ink-black eyes stared straight at her, defiant.
His elegant temperament was completely wiped out, and he looked like a wild horse that had run away from its reins.
Si Lan couldn't help but laugh.
He really doesn't care about his image at all.
Her eyes turned slightly, looking at the experimental materials and discarded failed products scattered around the room. After a while, she withdrew her gaze and patted him on the head solemnly: "Great, good boy, thank you for your hard work."
Pei Wen was suddenly stunned.
It was as if a tiny electric current passed through my heart, and I was at a loss for what to do.
Si Lan saw that he suddenly felt uneasy, her long eyelashes fluttered, and a layer of powder quickly covered the tip of her nose.
She thought he was still unhappy, and said unhappily, "Not enough? That's too much. You're already an old man."
Pei Wen stared at her with his eyes half closed. As time passed and the firelight flickered, the oil lamp created a layer of warm temperature in the room. A thin layer of sweat oozed out of his forehead and nose.
The person he liked was right in front of him, with bright eyes and a radiant look. He suddenly felt a little impatient, and impulsively took a step forward, moving straight towards her.
Si Lan was slightly startled. Unsure of why, she subconsciously took a step back and asked, puzzled, "What are you doing?"
Pei Wen's footsteps suddenly stopped.
His consciousness began to return, and after his rationality was fully restored, he realized that he had almost done something very stupid.
He quickly retreated back to his original position and blurted out in a hurry: "No, I didn't stand firmly."
Si Lan looked at him strangely. Seeing that he was blushing and sweating, she raised her hand worriedly: "Are you sick again?"
Pei Wen was quick to grab her and took the opportunity to hold her hand for a few more seconds: "No, it was the firelight."
Si Lan didn't notice the deliberate tightening of her grip. Seeing him deny it, she pulled her hand away: "That's fine. Take care of yourself and don't get sick for another month."
Pei Wenxin said that he was not that weak.
But his previous reaction made him afraid to stay in the same room with her alone, so he found an excuse and left in a hurry.
Si Lan called out to him from behind, "You haven't said whether these things are suitable for expanded production?"
He tutted his words and turned back: "If you want it, you can have it. Isn't it always like this? When have I ever let you down?"
Si Lan's lips curled slightly, and this time she rarely denied it. She nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you."
Pei Wen was very tired. He responded vaguely and walked out of the laboratory.
Fang Xun happened to pass by him and saw that he looked strange. He asked with concern, "What's wrong, Professor Pei? You don't look well?"
Pei Wen sighed weakly, "I was bullied by a bad woman."
Fang Xun: ???
But when he saw Si Lan following closely behind him, he understood everything.
The smile was filled with a different meaning, and she patted his shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work, brother."
Si Lan's eyes darted between the two of them, trying to guess what they were talking about.
Pei Wen shook his head and sighed again, saying, "Being single is a lifespan for me." He left without looking back.
Si Lan caught this sentence with her sharp ears and asked Fang Xun: "What do you mean by being single?"
Fang Xun wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. He held his breath and shook his head: "Well, I don't know, just chatting casually."
Si Lan said "Oh" and didn't seem to care at all. The other party said, "Your professor has already made the generator, the electric drill and the electric saw. When you have time, talk to him about how to expand production and then think about how to make the wires."
Fang Xun exclaimed in amazement, "This woman is really someone whose mind is solely focused on work."
However, this news was extremely good, so he readily agreed: "Okay. Any other instructions, leader?"
Si Lan had another question mark popping up in her mind: "Why do they all call me leader?"
Fang Xun: "I was yelling to Brother Pei."
“…”
She was too lazy to argue with him and waved her hand: "That's all, let's adjourn."
Fang Xun laughed heartily and quickly slipped away.
Si Lan locked the laboratory door, then went to the communications station and the infrastructure team to update them on the latest progress of the camp. She then finished all the remaining work for the vacation team and went to bed late at night.
The next day everyone returned to normal work.
There is currently little demand for generators because there are not many tools that can withstand such high power, so there is no need to increase production for the time being.
However, small tools such as electric drills and electric saws, and even various automated tools that are already on the schedule, need to be produced at a faster pace.
There are a lot of materials needed here in Wang Hongsheng's camp. Si Lan weighed the resources of the mine in Camp A1 and the mine on their side and decided to send people to move another batch of resources from the mine.
Wang Hongsheng watched as the camp produced one thing after another, each of which was something he had never dared to imagine before. He had long lost his temper and prejudice towards this place.
When he heard about the resources, he immediately patted his beer belly and said, "Alright, come on, bring a few strong men who can carry and carry things with me, there are plenty of resources!"
Si Lan thought for a moment and then asked, "How many people are left in your camp? Without you, we're still moving resources out. Are the daily supplies sufficient? Can we maintain daily operations?"
Wang Hongsheng waved his hand: "Well, there are only about thirty people left. They can't eat much, and they can't use much either. Don't worry about them."
Si Lan's expression immediately changed and she stared at him without blinking.
Wang Hongsheng immediately backed off and hurriedly changed his tone, "We need to intervene, we need to intervene, but what should we do? The resources over there are really plentiful, better than here, and the camp here won't accept anyone anymore, so... what do you want to do?"
Si Lan reviewed what the camp already had and what could be produced continuously.
He said, "We can provide them with the resources they need for their camp. We can also provide them with things like the automated tools we'll continue to produce."
"In exchange, I'd like the original inhabitants of your camp to continue digging for new ores, or other things we need that are scarce and urgently needed here. If transportation is inconvenient over there, they only need to dig, and we'll be responsible for sending people to move them. And you, can you act as a middleman and make this deal?"
Wang Hongsheng: "Isn't this just a business negotiation? Fine! I'm good at this. I'm a boss after all!"
Si Lan: "It's not good to let you, a leader of the original camp, move here. It's not good to leave them alone in the camp. When we recruit the next batch of new members, the remaining residents of your camp can move here first. Please convey this to them."
Wang Hongsheng: "Okay, no problem!"
There wasn't much else to explain after that. Before they left, Si Lan suddenly remembered something else and asked, "Without you here, how will your original camp receive news from the Infrastructure Group?"
Wang Hongsheng was stunned and scratched his head awkwardly for a while: "This... I haven't thought about it."
Si Lan frowned, thought for a moment, returned to her house, and took out a bound book.
"This is the basic code learning manual for the Infrastructure Corps, which is intended for most people. I originally intended it for Officer Fang to take to another camp. Since you need it, I'll give it to you first. I'll write another one."
Wang Hongsheng opened the book and saw that she had recorded all the basic expressions of Morse code in it. As long as he learned them, he could translate any combination of phrases he encountered later by looking through the book.
There are also ways to output code, and they are written in great detail. It is no exaggeration to say that having this book is like having a modern Chinese dictionary, and anyone can start learning code.
Wang Hongsheng looked at her in surprise: "This, this, are you sure you want to give it to us?"
You can tell at a glance that a lot of time and effort went into writing it!
Si Lan: "We all need it, so it doesn't matter who we give it to. Take it. Next time I'll research the replication technique and write it for mass production."
Wang Hongsheng: “…”
It’s really awesome.
Are photocopiers coming soon?
This was the first time in his life that he felt such great admiration for someone.
After putting the book away, he faced her and clasped his hands solemnly: "Thank you, Teacher Si."
Si Lan has had enough titles lately, and she didn't bother to add one or two more. She waved her hand and said, "Go ahead. This time, bring two battery packs and a few small light bulbs. Be careful on the road, and go early and come back early."
Wang Hongsheng: "Okay."
Everyone took their things, and the men who followed Wang Hongsheng to the camp brought some resources in based on the situation of his camp, and then they got on the three-wheeled wooden cart and set off together.
When the residents of Wang Hongsheng's original camp saw them coming, they were about to ask Wang Hongsheng if he had abandoned them to enjoy himself. But when they heard Wang Hongsheng's proposal for cooperation and looked at the battery packs and light bulbs they brought, they were delighted again. After thinking for a long time, they agreed to become a stable resource supplier for Camp A1.
