Ye Hanqing and hundreds of teachers have been staying in Longkang Town for three days. After three days of adjustment, they have recovered from their initial discomfort and have begun to slowly accept reality.

But they haven't arranged things for them these days, and there is no sign of the school, and they don't know when they can officially start classes.

Speaking of which, the climate here is pretty good, with mild climate, surrounded by mountains, and the air between the basins is also fresh. Dietary food is not a big problem. Every meal is full, and I add it myself after I don’t have enough food. Five people are assigned a small wooden box as a dining table. Vegetables can harvest water spinach, lettuce, celery, etc. from the field. Some unknown wild vegetables picked from the mountains, and occasionally fried river fish. There are also a pot of mushroom soup.

Most of these things were grown by the soldiers themselves, fished from the river and picked from the mountains, fresh and tasted very good. The vegetables were covered with oil and water, and everyone was willing to collect their chopsticks every meal.

They had not lived well in China before, and they were self-cultivated and fed by themselves. Since the farming work was not up to standard, there was not much left after handing over the public grain. Life was even harder than that of ordinary farmers, and they had basically no time to eat enough.

Now every meal is full and fresh vegetables with rich oil and water. Except for the lack of meat, every teacher is very happy and feels like a god. If it weren't for the hardships here, the lack of cultural and entertainment facilities, and the spiritual life is extremely scarce, and when thinking about the relatives at home, many people really have the idea of ​​staying and not leaving.

After breakfast this morning, Teacher Xie pulled Ye Hanqing and Teacher Han from the same room excitedly took it to the hills to the east and south, saying that he was going for a walk to digest food.

To the west is a towering mountain with too steep rock walls, making it very dangerous to climb. To the west is too far from your residence, and the gentle slope to the east is opened into a vegetable garden by the troops. Dozens of acres of vegetable fields are planted with green lettuce, celery, onions, ginger, garlic and other crops.

They have worked in the countryside for a few years and have already tasted the hardship of doing farm work. Even if the vegetables grow well or the scenery is beautiful, they don’t want to get close to them. When they accidentally glance at them, they will immediately turn away, and they don’t want to take a look.

"The scenery here is so beautiful..." The group slowly headed towards the hills, looking at the various strange wild flowers swaying in the wind, wafting with the wind, scent of flowers drifting away with the wind, sucking into their noses, bringing a refreshing fragrance, and the three of them felt particularly comfortable and relaxed.

How long has it been since I felt like this!

Ye Hanqing looked at the large leaves of banana trees growing halfway up the hills, and looked at the morning mist that had not yet completely dissipated, and was filled with emotion.

"Hey? Isn't that Captain Meng? What are they going to do in which empty valley early in the morning?" Teacher Han said with a good look, and suddenly pointed to a Jiefang truck in the distance.

Ye Hanqing and Teacher Xie looked in the direction he pointed, and saw Captain Meng of the field engineering team and several engineering team members sitting in a Liberation Truck and heading towards a small valley surrounded by a hill.

The car also carries bricks, cement and other building materials.

There are many hills in the south, and there are many small valleys. The valley they went to was very small, with a depth of about ten meters, a narrow entrance and a wide inside. I don’t know where Captain Meng and others were doing.

"Let's go and have a look!" Teacher Xie encouraged him.

How did they get to a strange place? Although the 291st Brigade is composed of educated youth, they always feel that they are outsiders. From the inside, they are more willing to approach people who come from China. When they see Meng Nan and the others, they seem to be doing something, he couldn't help but be curious and wanted to go over and take a look.

"What should I do if the above comes to us later?" Teacher Han said hesitantly with a little courage.

"What's going to happen? There are no school buildings here, and I don't know which year or month it will be repaired. It's our turn to teach until the Year of the Monkey and Horse. You see, no one cares about us these days, so what's the point of sitting in the house without walking around?" Teacher Xie said.

Ye Hanqing was also a little moved. They came in a hurry and didn't bring much other things except for some daily necessities. Some teachers also brought a book or two, and they could pass the time over and over again. They didn't have to read the books, and they were really bored sitting in the house all day long.

"Then let's take a look?" He looked at Teacher Han.

The three of them didn't care about the wild flowers under their feet, climbed over several hills, and climbed onto the small valley where Captain Meng and the others entered.

From here, Meng Nan and the others seemed to be planning to build something here. Several people stood next to the truck, pointed at a construction drawing, and then pointed at a piece of open space beside the hill.

An engineer opened the rear compartment, took out a roll of twine from above, and formed a circle on the open space.

Several other engineers took out a few shovels from the car and started to level the land.

"Let's go down." Ye Hanqing was also curious, said, and ran down the hillside first.

Meng Nan and others heard the voice, raised their heads, and saw that it was them, and continued their work.

The place they chose was quite flat. When Ye Hanqing and the other two ran over, they had roughly leveled the land and drew the lines with white gray, looking like they were about to start the formal construction.

"Captain Meng, what are you repairing here?" Teacher Xie leaned towards Meng Nan panting, trying to see the construction drawing from him.

"A generator room is needed here, and a transformer room is needed next to it." Meng Nan folded the construction drawings in half a few times and put them in his arms, but did not let Teacher Xie see them.

Because he was embarrassed.

This construction drawing was also provided by Guan Fei. The style, size and specifications were clearly marked, so they could just ask them to construct according to the drawings. The first field construction team of the Provincial Construction Bureau did some masonry work. He felt that his face was very dull and he simply did not let these teachers see the construction drawings, so as not to see any clues.

The diesel generator set has been shipped back for several days, and Guan Fei was eager to put it into use. With electricity, a lot of work can be carried out quickly, so when he came back last night, he told him to build the power generator room and the distribution room early in the morning.

"Is there electricity to be turned on here?" Ye Hanqing and others were overjoyed.

People who have not experienced electricity civilization cannot understand how strong their desire for light is. What they cannot bear most in the countryside is that there is no electricity. Every time it dark, they can't do anything, sitting in the house in a daze. There is no oil lamp for them, even if they want to read books and write something through the shaking flames, they can't do it even if they want to use the shaking light to read books and write something, and play poker!

When they heard that Meng Nan and others were going to power up for this blocked place, they were so excited that they danced and felt like they were about to fly.

Since they knew that the engineering team wanted to power them up, it was even more impossible for them to leave. The three of them were busy and took the initiative to hand over bricks and towels for them. They were extremely attentive and saw a simple brick house taking shape bit by bit.

They didn't expect that the house would be built so quickly.

In fact, this is a project that cannot be even smaller. It is just two bungalows, without even the foundation, and can be built directly, so it is naturally very fast to build it.

The generator room is a rectangular building with a construction area of ​​only 30 square meters and three meters apart in the middle. Two diesel generator sets are placed. The generator room is built in this secluded place, mainly sound insulation to avoid too much noise and affecting the rest of the soldiers and townspeople.

These two diesel generator sets are used as regular power sources, and continuous operation requires special attention to ventilation. A blind vent was opened on the square and rear of the two units, and according to Guan Fei's requirements, the fan he brought back was installed to speed up the air circulation.

The outdoor diesel generator set has its own voltage stabilization system and can be directly connected to the power transmission line. However, considering that the diesel generator is a stroke work, the attack value has a peak threshold and a low peak threshold, and the volatility is relatively high. Under the requirements of Guan Fei, a transformer distribution room was specially set up for it, which was connected to the power grid through a rectifier, inverter, and static switch cabinet.

As for Guan Fei's request to be completed and put into use as soon as possible, this is not a problem.

Meng Nan and others have long-term field construction experience and specially brought a batch of fast-drying cement, which can be initially condensed in fourteen minutes and dry thoroughly in one hour. As time goes by, the strength gradually increases, and the maximum design strength will reach 24 hours later. This kind of cement is a special cement, which is usually used to deal with tunnel cracks and pipeline repairs, which is more than ten times more expensive than ordinary cement.

It is a waste to use fast-drying cement for a generator room that does not require foundations and does not consider shockproof.

But Guan Fei is willing to pay more, so he has no choice.

The two small bungalows were completely built in just two hours, and then the group left the small valley and returned to the warehouse. The trailer that was originally loading the construction machinery left after it was transported, and the goods were placed in the wooden warehouse.

Meng Nan clenched his forehead and decided to assemble the generator into the car with a crane.

The 30-kilowatt generator set is 2 meters long, 0.8 meters high, 1.3 meters wide, and weighs 860 kilograms. This unit is quite light, so you can load it into the car by finding a few more young men.

But the 80-kilowatt unit is heavy, with a standard size, just like 30-kilowatt, but the total weight reaches 1.6 tons. Manpower lifting can be lifted and loaded into the car, but this is too hard. You can only move it to the car with lever and rope little by little. Someone must always hold it in the middle, and you can't finish it in less than half an hour.

Why bother yourself if you have a crane?

A team member entered the warehouse, checked the fuel tank, then jumped into the car, sat in the high cab, and quickly started the crane.

With a crane, the 1.6 tons generator set is easily lifted into the vehicle.

Then two trucks carrying diesel generator sets and cranes came to the small valley again. In less than half an hour, the cement outside the two small houses that had only been built was already dry.

To ensure stable operation of the generator set, cement must be used to fix the base.

Meng Nan and the others were already familiar with all this and dug the pit in advance. A few people started to lift it out of the car, put it in, adjust the level, modulate cement, and seal the base.

It's done in more than an hour.

After that, it will be easier to transform into a distribution room. All kinds of equipment are made and the supporting box manufacturers provide it. Just install it directly.

By 1:00 noon, all the work will be completed.

They were all people who were used to doing outdoor homework. Meng Nan and the others didn't eat lunch and just started to plant and build telephone poles. On average, each telephone pole was 50 meters long, and they pulled it to another small valley after only four of them.

The other people in the engineering team here were also there. They arranged some woodworking machines, lighting equipment, wiring boards, etc. as planned. When the wires come, they connected the electricity.

They worked hard all morning, and Guan Fei had just returned from the army.

"All have been connected? Thank you for your hard work. The generator set has been installed. All kinds of woodworking machines we put in the warehouse can finally be used! The woodworking machines can be used, and the construction below has entered the fast lane!" Guan Fei held everyone's hands one by one and expressed his gratitude to them one by one.

"It's nothing, this life is not complicated." Meng Nan smiled, "Why would you give it a try?"

"Okay, try to turn on the computer!" Guan Fei followed Meng Nan and the others in interest, moved a bucket of diesel from the warehouse, took a bus to the generator room, looked at the open environment here, and decided to transfer two people over later.

The power facilities are the most advanced modern equipment of the 291st Brigade, which is more related to future development. He cannot be careless.

Meng Nan and others are very familiar with these two diesel generator sets. They have had a lot of dealing with the same type of unit, adding diesel, checking parameters, and operating control systems. They are very skilled.

In this era, most domestic diesel generator sets are manually started, just like a tractor, and the crankshaft needs to be rotated with a shank. Meng Nan waited until his subordinates completed the inspection before starting the equipment, went forward to open the pressure reducing valve to reduce the air pressure in the cylinder, then held the shank with both hands, took a breath, and turned the shank vigorously.

At the beginning, it was quite difficult to rotate, but slowly the speed was rising, and the power was not consumed, and the speed of the shank began to increase rapidly.

When the rotation speed reached a certain speed, he quickly removed the shank.

Driven by inertia, the flywheel still drives the crankshaft to move rapidly, the air pressure in the cylinder increases rapidly, and the temperature rises rapidly. When the temperature in the cylinder reaches the critical point, the diesel engine makes a roar and the ignition is successful!

With loud and loud noises in the cylinder, the explosion of diesel fuel pushes the crankshaft piston and reciprocates at high speed in the cylinder.

At the same time, driven by the diesel engine, the generator began to operate.

The pointer on the meter jumps up quickly, which means that the generator is working normally and outputs current outward.

When Guan Fei closed the switch at Meng Nan's instructions, he shone light on the top of the generator room.

Guan Fei was excited when he looked at the light bulb with only twenty-five tile above his head.

He has been waiting for so many years, and since the moment he joined the People's Army, he has been looking forward to the arrival of this day. But at this moment, looking at the yellow light bulb, his heart is still undulating and it is difficult to calm down.

Although the wattage of this lamp is not high, it symbolizes that his 291st Brigade has officially left the agricultural era where oil lamps and candles are illuminated and fully man-made, and has entered the threshold of the power era!
Chapter completed!
