The two continued walking for a hundred meters before Gu Maolin stopped.
"Squad leader, you have helped me so much, I will pay you back this time. To tell you the truth, there is a donkey treasure in this donkey's belly. Since Uncle Dong gave the donkey to you, I will not interfere. If you keep this donkey alive and well, whenever you want to spend money, just kill it, and you can sell that donkey treasure for at least three hundred thousand!"
"What are you talking about? You said the thing in its belly can be sold for 300,000 yuan?! Do you want to scare me to death?" Wang Ke saw Gu Maolin's serious words and thought to himself, just fool me. Now a household worth 10,000 yuan I can't find ten of them in Ding County. Just because you open your mouth and talk nonsense, I will believe you! You don’t want to pay me back, and I don’t expect you to pay me back, so I made up this set of reasons.
"Squad leader, you don't believe anything I say. If you really don't believe it, we will kill this donkey now. Where is your military dagger? Lend it to me. If there is no donkey treasure in its belly, I will kill it." Show it to you here.”
"Yes, yes, I believe it. I believe it, don't you think?"
Wang Ke thought, after all, we can't be serious with this guy. We still have to do the survey. We can wait until the mission is over to make plans. We can't be a soldier and raise a donkey!
Back at the residence, several soldiers came back one after another. Niu Suozhu was so angry that he grabbed Gu Maolin when he came up.
"You kid, you wiped your face, where did you go? You made me look for you all night. You are a veteran, and you don't know how to set an example for new soldiers."
"Okay, Niu Suozhu, he has also made meritorious service."
"What merits have you accomplished? Stole a donkey?" At this time, everyone noticed the black donkey following behind.
"Go away, why are you stealing? The squad leader bought this. We can use it tomorrow. But spring is not here yet, so you have to steal the fodder for the donkeys!" Gu Maolin was a little proud.
"Squad leader, are you really buying a donkey?" Niu Suozhu, Song Ruimin and two recruits gathered around him, which was equivalent to the arrival of another "comrade-in-arms".
"Hurry up and take off the donkey's saddle and carrier. Find a place to tie it. I hope it will work tomorrow!" Wang Ke said, and everyone was very happy.
The two recruits, in particular, immediately ran to a corner of the elementary school because they found there were many haystacks piled by unknown persons.
These two recruits, the short one named Liang Xiaolong, came from the Dabie Mountains. They are very capable and can do small jobs no less than Hu Yanlou. The slightly taller one is called Zhao Mingming, who is from northwestern Shanxi. He is a bit thin, but super smart. If Song Ruimin hadn't been a veteran, they would have considered training him to be a strategist.
For these two new recruits, Niu Suozhu jokingly called Liang Xiaolong "sweet potato" and Zhao Mingming "hemp stalk". Wang Ke didn't pay attention at first, but later he realized that Niu Suozhu called Liang Xiaolong "sweet potato" because sweet potatoes were the staple food in their hometown. The main reason for calling Zhao Mingming "Ma Shou" is that he is relatively thin. For this reason, Wang Ke specially approved Niu Suozhu's pass at the squad meeting. Who knew that the two recruits were quite useful. They both use this nickname themselves.
"Sweet potato, the squad leader bought this donkey so that we can relax. From now on, we will be responsible for raising the donkeys." Ma Zhuo Zhao Mingming believed that the recruits had to do more work, including carrying equipment, Those wooden stakes.
"Ma Zhuo, do you think the squad leader spent so much money to buy a donkey? Will he still use the car?"
"Of course, use it. Drive to a place closer to work, and then get off the car and go to the fields."
"I understand this. Does that mean that this donkey is also riding in the car with us?! If we ride in the car together, will it get motion sickness and vomit?"
"I have to ask the monitor. I really don't know if donkeys get motion sickness?"
The two recruits were excited about the donkey for half the night.
Early the next morning, before everyone got up, Liang Xiaolong, the sweet potato who had gotten up early to clean the house, shouted at the door: "Squad leader, it's bad, the donkey has been stolen!"
Gu Maolin's reaction was super fast. He just put on his underwear and "snapped" and jumped out of the house.
"What's going on? What's going on? You two recruits can't even watch a donkey. You should have taken turns standing guard yesterday."
Wang Ke also got dressed and got up at this time. When he walked to the door, he saw that the black donkey was indeed gone. He didn't hear anything when he slept last night. This donkey was tied to the clothes rack under the window.
Several people circled the elementary school. The gate of the school was well bolted. Only a piece of the wall not far from the gate collapsed.
"It must be this donkey thief who climbed out of here with the donkey." Song Ruimin said angrily.
Wang Ke looked at Song Ruimin and said, "Everyone, please stop arguing. The donkey was not stolen. If the donkey was really stolen, why didn't you leave through the school gate and lead the donkey to jump over the wall?"
"Squad leader, you mean the donkey ran away on its own?"
"Yes, this donkey jumped over the wall and ran away. He must have gone home."
Before Wang Ke finished speaking, he heard Uncle Dong Pianfang answer outside the wall. "That's right, this donkey broke free from the rope last night and ran home by himself. I brought it back to you."
Ma Zhu Zhao Mingming hurried to the primary school gate to open the gate for Uncle Dong Pianfang.
"I have to get dressed." Gu Maolin also ran back to the house.
Wang Ke pointed to the gap in the wall where the donkey climbed over and said to Song Ruimin: "You are responsible for this wall. Repair it."
"yes!"
Several people rushed to the gate to greet Uncle Dong Pianfang. They saw Uncle Dong Pianfang, holding a black donkey in one hand and a small cloth bag in the other.
"Uncle Dong, I don't expect you to make a trip so early in the morning."
"It's okay, it's okay. Early this morning, I heard a donkey braying at the door, and I knew it was running back. This donkey knows the way because it is very strong. I have raised it for many years and I didn't want to kill it. Now he is quite When a person is thirty, it is the time to make an effort. Come, here is this for you. I will bring you some baked buns. You don’t need to make them for breakfast. There are still a few pickle dumplings in them. "
"Uncle Dong, you don't have to give us anything, we can make it ourselves."
"Hey, if your parents were by your side, how could you suffer such a sin? Come on, let me go and see if there is anything missing in the place where you sleep?"
Everyone was talking here, and the technician there, Chang Gaofeng, the section chief of the Planning Section of the Water Conservancy Bureau of the Administration, also woke up. He now wears many hats, including survey project leader and driver. Eat, live and work together with the reconnaissance team.
"Uncle Dong, this is Section Chief Chang from the Water Conservancy Bureau of the Administration." Wang Ke introduced Chang Gaofeng to Dong Pianfang who had just walked out of the next room. Then, he introduced: "Chief Chang, this is Dr. Dong Pianfang from Nanshao Village. Uncle Dong, he just brought back our lost donkey."
"Donkey, where did we get the donkey?" Chang Gaofeng asked.
"Uncle Dong gave it to us. In some places where cars can't go, donkeys are the best means of transportation."
"Gee, this is great."
"Hello Section Chief Chang, please correct me. Wang Ke bought this donkey from me and ran back early in the morning."
"That's great, that's great." Section Chief Chang kept praising him. He didn't know whether he meant that the donkey was good or that the donkey was a good buy. He walked up to the donkey, touched the black donkey's back, and then said to Wang Ke: "Squad leader Wang, today's task is to set the starting point of our ten thousand acres of fertile land based on a known coordinate point. Mu, actually 100,000 mu, the task is arduous, if this point is wrongly determined, the subsequent gridding will be wrong."
"Don't worry, Section Chief Chang. Wherever you point us, we will hit. We must complete the task and make the reference point no more than ten meters." Wang Ke's chest puffed up.
"Can you reduce the error to less than one meter, because after ten meters to fifty kilometers, the difference may be more than 1,500 meters. I have brought a theodolite, can you use it?" Section Chief Chang said, Everyone, including Wang Ke, was dumbfounded.
For artillery fire, the first test firing is allowed within a deviation of 200 meters. If the first mortar hit is within a radius of 50 meters, it is an excellent result!
Now the error of ten meters is not enough. We must strive to be within one meter. This fixed point must at least be verified multiple times to be close to or less than one meter.
As for the theodolite, maybe only Wang Ke in the class has seen it, and the others have never even seen it, let alone used it. At the time, this was definitely a precision instrument.
"Yes, let's work hard!" Wang Ke put his legs together.
"It's not about fighting for it, it's about necessity. A century-old plan starts with a single step. After breakfast, we set off at seven o'clock. From today on, our schedule is seven in the morning and seven in the evening, with one day off a week. We can eat wherever we go. Which. We must maintain our vigorous working status and keep improving our technology."
"Yes!" As soon as Wang Ke finished speaking, he started to murmur in his heart. Section Chief Chang is also very hardworking, and the boss can’t see us. He goes to work at seven in the morning and comes back at seven in the evening. Doesn’t that mean we work twelve hours a day? We are young and not afraid. If you can persist, we can persist.
"Then I won't disturb you. I'll go back first. Today is Wednesday. You have Sunday off. Come to my house and I'll treat you to dinner." Uncle Dong Pianfang waved to Wang Ke and Chang Gaofeng, minding his own business. The ground is gone.
Wang Ke, along with Song Ruimin and Niu Suozhu, quickly followed Section Chief Chang to see the theodolite.
After arriving in the room, Wang Ke immediately understood the principle of operation by clicking three times five times and dividing two. The only difference was that the calculation unit was different. It still used degrees, minutes and seconds, which was different from the meters used on the steering wheel. The other operations were similar. But it is obviously more precise and systematic. I feel more confident.
While the two recruits were going to heat up their meals, Wang Ke bumped heads with the two veterans.
First of all, the known baseline needs to be lengthened, from the original 100 meters to 300 meters. Secondly, all angles are pushed from left to right, so that the theodolite cannot have an error of even half a hair. In the end, there was no need for a calculation disk, but all functions were used to calculate by hand, accurate to the last four decimal places. Although these three tasks are equivalent to overturning the original model and extending the time several times, the accuracy can indeed be guaranteed to be within one meter.
"Monitor, after using the calculation disk for a long time, I have forgotten how to calculate trigonometric functions. I have returned all the sine, cosine, and induction formulas to the teacher." Song Ruimin said.
"It doesn't matter, aren't there a few of us? Ma Zhuo also understands. Did you bring your function table? In the future, you will not only need to learn the abacus, but also the slide rule. You must carry these with you, okay?"
"yes!"
