The next day, Lin Yan was walking on the road, and everyone she met happily greeted her.
She found that everyone was in a good mood. That's because the Diggers are back, bringing hope.
When she arrived at the laboratory, she found Kurotsuchi and many people gathered in the yard, looking around the frame truck.
Maomu was telling them about the structure of the frame cart, and while talking, he pulled the cart in circles in the yard.
Kurotsuchi and others were so excited. With the carriage, as long as the road was repaired, they could bring back as much stuff as they wanted.
Rack trucks are now a rare commodity in Sun City, and there are only two of them in total. The earliest one is in the laboratory, and the other is in the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Anyone who needs a car can go to the Public Service Center to rent one.
Huo Qiang said loudly: "This car is very useful. Minister, we need to get a few for our military department."
Kurotsuchi nodded, "I'll apply later. The ore we brought back should be enough to make a few frame trucks."
"It will definitely be enough. You brought back more than two thousand kilograms of ore, which is enough to make a dozen frame trucks." Mao Mu followed. He looked at Kurotsuchi and the others happily, "You are all great contributors, good things should be given to you first."
"You are really good at talking." Huo Qiang laughed loudly, "But whoever made this car deserves the most credit."
"That's right, I have never dared to think of such an exquisite thing. I had no idea that it could be made like this, which is convenient for everyone." Lanxing was also there, praising: "It's so smart to think of it and make it real. ”
Others nodded, but that's not it. They had never thought about such a magical thing as a stand truck. If they hadn't seen the real thing with their own eyes, they wouldn't believe it when they heard it from others.
Mao Mu said loudly: "Lin Yan was the one who came up with the idea, but it was completed by several people under the leadership of Shi Zhi."
"The people in your laboratory are amazing." Lan Xing truly felt this way. The ten children who initially followed Lin Yan in class were all smart, and now their shadows can be seen everywhere in Sun City.
Behind the emergence of every novelty, there is their participation.
Lan Xing felt very regretful. Why didn't he shamelessly pester Lin Yan and follow him to the class? Although he is a few years older, he still has enough brains. If it doesn't work, you can let him help with the hard work.
But now I can only think about it, I’ve already missed it, so what’s the use of regretting it anymore.
Lin Yan walked in, raised a smile and said, "The frame truck is the work of many people. It cannot be made by one person. You are one of them. Without you taking the risk to bring back the ore, we wouldn't be able to make it."
Hearing what Lin Yan said, a group of people suddenly felt honored. It turned out that they were also involved.
Heitu said cheerfully: "Don't be so modest. Lin Yan, we're just here to take a look at the truck. You're busy, so don't worry about us."
Lin Yan smiled and nodded, indicating that he understood and let them do what they wanted.
When people had seen enough and gradually dispersed, Heitu came to Lin Yan's house.
After looking at it, I saw that it was much cleaner than before, and there was no unpleasant smell. Kurotsuchi smiled and said, "Your house is much cleaner."
Lin Yan also remembered that Heitu was doing papermaking experiments when he came, and there was a strange smell wafting through the entire laboratory. She chuckled and said, "You still remember. I was too anxious at that time. I was always doing experiments like this, and it would never be too clean. There is a stool over there, you can sit on it."
Kurotsuchi was not polite. He sat down and saw the notebook on the table and asked, "What's written on it?"
"They are all test data records. What do you want from me?"
Kurotsuchi is a busy man, so if he comes to his door, he must have something going on. Lin Yan didn't think that he just came to sit around casually.
"You're right, I have something to do with you." Kurotsuchi admitted directly, "You said at the beginning that you were going to build an ironworks at the mine and send people to work there. When were you going to start construction?"
Lin Yan didn't expect that he came here for this. "I don't have anything to say about this matter. You can just discuss it with Alan. However, I think it's not the time yet. We have to wait for two or three years."
Kurotsuchi said: "I wasn't in a hurry at first. After seeing the frame truck today, I think the demand for iron will be greater in the future. Build the ironmaking plant as soon as possible, and we will have as much iron as we need. It depends on us. One delivery is not enough in a short time.”
"No matter what time, there is not enough. The frame truck is just the beginning." Lin Yan wants to do too many things, and the demand for iron is unlimited. "Now the priority is to meet people's daily needs. From next year, we will invest a lot of iron Build all kinds of things.”
Seeing that Lin Yan had a plan, Kurotsuchi thought, "What are you going to do?"
Lin Yan took out the boat model he had made and introduced it to Kurotsuchi, "This is a boat. It can sail in the water. We live by the Sun River, and there should be other people along the bank. When I finish building the boat, we will We can set out along the Sun River together to find other humans and more resources."
Exploring this world has always been Lin Yan's goal. She had already set her sights on the Sun River. It was such a wide river and the water was deep, so it was not difficult to sail on it.
Walking along the river is faster and safer than on land. As long as their ship is strong enough, everything will be no dream.
Kurotsuchi looked at the ship model blankly for a while and then said: "This ship can really carry people walking on the water and won't sink?"
"No. Water is buoyant, and as long as the ship is well designed, it will not sink."
Kurotsuchi really wanted to pry open Lin Yan's brain and see what else was inside. She could think of such incredible things.
Lin Yan brought a basin of water and placed the boat model on it.
Kurotsuchi's eyes widened, "It can really float."
"Of course it can, otherwise why would I do this? If you take a wooden board, as long as it is large enough, it can float people in the water."
Kurotsuchi rubbed his head, "I've never thought of this before. I was so surprised when I saw it for the first time. When your ship is built, I will definitely stand on it and feel it myself."
"That's for sure. Speaking of which, there happens to be something for you to do."
Lin Yan took a piece of paper and wrote her plan on it. Since you want to build a ship, you must understand the nature of water.
She had long discovered that the people of the Sun Tribe were very afraid of water, and it was engraved in their bones. Except for fetching water, I rarely go to the waterside.
After asking about it, I found out that this was passed down from generation to generation. Some of our ancestors had seen the sight of monstrous floods, which drowned countless people, leaving an unforgettable impression that has been passed down from generation to generation.
Kurotsuchi took the paper and read it carefully, then asked uncertainly: "Do you really want to learn to swim?"
Lin Yan nodded, "After the boat is built, we must learn to swim if we want to do activities on the water. In case of an accident, we can save ourselves. First dig a big puddle next to the drinking water canal, and you ask the military people to start Training, make swimming a must-learn item.”
Seeing Lin Yan's insistence, Kurotsuchi felt that the paper in his hand was too heavy.
