In reality, Lei Meng is a student at the School of Civil Engineering, and now he is the construction director of the Dashui Gorge Project.
It sounds like he is a construction director, but he is actually a contractor.
Lei Meng took his more than 20 players, plus dozens of corvees recruited from Guazhou City, to build several small sheds next to the Dashuixia Iron Mine, and leveled the land day and night.
And Jian Xia also lived on the construction site. She drew design drawings and did experiments with iron ore every day. There was always thick smoke billowing next to her tent. The corvees who followed Lei Meng said that Jian Xia was a person who could devour iron ore.
No one dares to approach her tent.
Lei Meng knocked open another big stone by the river today, and the land to build the iron factory was finally leveled.
Lei Meng spent a whole day hammering wood piles at the construction site, and his hands were numb from exhaustion. When he returned to the camp, Qin Chuan immediately joined him.
Qin Chuan was Yu Chixin's comrade-in-arms, and he originally wanted to take the adventure path.
However, the initial attributes of the players in the second and third tests were only five points, and their physical fitness was similar to that of the civilians in Guazhou City.
Even if you have five points of stamina, you will be out of breath even if you are wearing armor, let alone five points of strength, you can't even swing a halberd, and you can't even draw a practice bow.
Therefore, the martial arts competition has nothing to do with these third-test players who have just entered the game. Qin Chuan did not join in the fun and participate in the competition, but signed up to go to the construction site in Dashui Gorge.
"Mengzi, the leveling is finally completed. This work is really not done by humans." Qin Chuan complained.
Lei Meng was also covered in dirt, and he even complained: "I work in the laboratory during the day, and when I play games, I also work on the construction site. No matter how much I play games, I can't get away from the construction site!"
Qin Chuan also nodded. During this period, he worked at the construction site every day, and his endurance increased by 2 points. The arms of this body became thicker.
This game is also a bit more realistic, and you can increase your stamina by doing hard work!
Moreover, King Jianning gave many contribution points to this task, so Qin Chuan gritted his teeth and persisted.
Lei Meng continued: "Sure enough, civil engineering was a form of corvee labor in ancient times. If it doesn't work anymore, I must take the cosmic machine test across majors! Otherwise, if I really graduate and go to the construction site to clear dust, I won't have time to play games!"
Qin Chuan nodded. Civil engineering, a tiankeng major second only to biochemical and environmental materials, is not difficult to find a job after graduation, but the jobs are mostly at construction sites in the wilderness.
He worked hard and was exposed to wind and sun every day. This experience at the construction site in the game made Lei Meng completely give up on this profession.
You have to find a way to change careers!
If Li Yan knew that his "game" actually had the effect of "encouraging learning", he would probably feel that his merits were immense.
Lei Meng took out the construction drawings and said: "The land for the factory building has been leveled, but the workshop still needs to be built. This project will not be completed for months!"
Qin Chuan sighed. If the game hadn't turned down the pain and he wasn't so tired from working every day, he would have fled the construction site long ago.
But for the Guazhou indigenous laborers on the construction site, King Jianning's project was a great conscience.
Lei Meng and Qin Chuan, "officials", would also take the lead in doing the work themselves. They were the ones doing the more complicated and dangerous work.
The food on the construction site is also good. You can eat enough every day, and you can even eat some meat every now and then.
Except that it is a little far away from Guazhou City, this job is quite good.
These people are very motivated, and the progress of the project is also very fast.
Lei Meng looked at the material list and said: "We will start building the factory tomorrow. The bricks from the brick kiln are qualified, but the supply of cement still cannot keep up."
Qin Chuan also said: "Tomorrow I will go to the cement factory to urge them. Their speed is too slow."
Lei Meng sighed and said: "Cement is still difficult to make. It is not difficult to mine volcanic ash. There are many ancient volcanoes near Guazhou, but grinding and mixing is too time-consuming. It is the dry season in winter recently, and the thrust of the hydraulic mill is not enough. I heard
There are players at the cement factory doing the grinding work."
Qin Chuan sighed: "I thought we were already good enough, but I didn't expect that the cement factory would just act like a good horse."
Lei Meng said: "Although these guys are working hard, their contribution points are high! I heard from my classmates that if you work hard for a day, you can earn 10 contribution points. We have been working on the construction site for half a month, and we have only earned 10 contribution points.
ah!"
At this time, Qin Chuan's sympathy all turned into jealousy, and he said fiercely: "They are all working as cows and horses, why do they earn so much! These guys have to be beaten with whips, otherwise they will not be able to make these contributions!"
Lei Meng put away the construction drawings and said: "Our progress here is fine, but I don't know if Jian Xia's side can do it. The core of the iron plant is the boiler!"
Qin Chuan lay on the camp bed and said, "That's not something we have to worry about. We only build factories, and we can't help with the rest."
It was already nighttime, and Jian Xia's tent was still emitting black smoke.
Next to a simple blast furnace, Jian Xia looked at the red-hot molten iron and sighed: "It's still unqualified. The impurities in this iron ingot are too high."
The people who helped Jian Xia were a blacksmith father and son from Guazhou City.
Zhang Tiezheng is the father. He is about forty years old and is the most skilled blacksmith in Guazhou.
Zhang Tiezheng looked at the gradually cooling iron ingot and couldn't help but ask: "Master craftsman, isn't this iron block good enough?"
When Zhang Tiezheng was initially assigned to work as Jian Xia's assistant, he was still very unconvinced. He was the most skilled blacksmith in Guazhou.
But after seeing Jian Xia erecting a blast furnace and turning the iron ore into red molten iron, Zhang Tiezheng was completely convinced.
At first he called Jian Xia "fairy aunt", but in the end Jian Xia firmly objected and changed his name to "great craftsman".
In Zhang Tiezheng's opinion, this is already a high-quality iron ingot, which can be used to make military weapons, but Master Jian is not satisfied yet.
Jian Xia took out a notebook and recorded: "There are too many impurities, and the hardness cannot meet the requirements of the barrel. Preliminary analysis shows that the reason is that the temperature of the blast furnace is not high enough. The solution is to improve the structure of the blast furnace, or use fuel that can produce high temperatures."
After Jian Xia finished recording, he took out the ashes from the blast furnace and continued to record: "Ordinary charcoal is not burned enough to produce high enough carbon. We need to improve the plan to make briquettes, or smolder to produce higher quality charcoal.
"
Jian Xia ordered Zhang Tiezheng and his son to pour out all the molten iron, and then went to find Lei Meng.
"What, you want to build a charcoal kiln?"
Jian Xia nodded and said: "The current charcoal is not up to standard. I need better charcoal."
Lei Meng rubbed his head and said: "Okay, you come up with a design and I will build it. I didn't expect that making steel would be so troublesome."
The construction site in Dashuixia is in full swing, and the martial arts conference in Guazhou City has finally come to an end.
