It snowed heavily in the middle of the night. The next morning, Zhu Wentian came out, squeezed a handful of snow, rubbed it, and shook his head.
"What's wrong, Hanhan?" Seeing that no one was around, the chief asked in a low voice.
"We still need to cool down. The sudden cold air directly pushes away the transitional warm air. Snow makes it impossible to have a snowball fight or form a group."
Zhu Wentian grabbed another handful of snow and squeezed it. It felt bad and hard, similar to the feeling of cotton candy and granulated sugar. Now it was just granulated sugar and could not be squeezed together.
If the weather is warm, the warm and humid air will rush over, and the snow will form into a ball when pinched, like marshmallows.
If the snow is thicker like this, people will fall if they pounce in it.
It's thicker now, so when someone pounces on it, it will be slapped on it, which is very uncomfortable.
Feel the temperature again, the wind is blowing, northwest wind.
Judging from this, it will be colder tomorrow, and it will be dry and cold.
The manager took out both the mercury thermometer and the alcohol thermometer and compared them: "There is still a slight difference, the difference is 0.5 degrees."
"Because our technology is not good enough, the alcohol is relatively accurate. The village laboratory spent a lot of effort to get the magnesium to purify the alcohol, and the ferrosilicon was burned out like porcelain."
Zhu Wentian took a look at the two thermometers. There was a deviation and there was nothing he could do.
The alcohol he had worked hard to purify, including quicklime and magnesium.
The atmospheric pressure is then calculated using a pressure gauge drawn from the depth of the water again and again. Under similar circumstances, the boiling of water is compared with the mixture of ice and water, and a numerical scale of zero and one hundred degrees is given.
Now we actually need an extremely cold temperature, which is a temperature reaching minus 40 degrees.
Because alcohol thermometers can contain this temperature, but mercury cannot.
Then when the mercury thermometer reaches the limit, compare it with the alcohol thermometer to know the error.
This is in degrees Celsius, and it’s particularly easy to infer it after knowing some data.
Of course, he can also come up with another temperature unit and rules himself and let others listen to him.
But no, it will disrupt his knowledge structure. This is the system he learned. After changing it, he has to change it again according to the change. Why?
“Hanhan, it’s actually most effective for hatching eggs from chickens, ducks and geese. It also depends on whether a person has a fever or not.
When we return to the north, it is best to be colder than 40 degrees in winter, making it impossible to measure the mercury thermometer.
In this way, we can produce many thermometers normally and use them in key places in Ming Dynasty. "
The chief took out several more thermometers and compared them with each other. They all showed an error of 0.5 degrees.
"Find a way to purify the kerosene on the way, and then get a kerosene thermometer. It can reach minus 30 degrees."
Zhu Wentian wants to make some kerosene thermometers for comparison, but kerosene is actually not accurate.
"We can't let the prince and King Qin get sick from cold. We came here to test some things, especially to ensure their safety.
Anyway, I'm not used to it now. It's never been this cold when I was in Nanjing. No wonder they all say that northerners don't want to take a bath. Why take a bath? "
The head of the village said and sent the thermometer back. He had not taken a shower for several days. In the past, in Xiaqiu Village, poverty had nothing to do with taking a shower.
Next to it is a river! Everyone knows how to swim. If you go for a swim, you can take a bath.
There is a river next to it now. If you jump in... you will probably be frozen and unable to get out.
"When you enter the desert, there is no shelter around you, and the cold wind blows, and you can really feel what it means to be bone-chilling."
Zhu Wentian rubbed his hands on his body, then closed the two sleeves of his military coat and inserted his forearms together.
"How can you get the fragrance of plum blossoms without going through a bone-chilling cold?" one of the poems said.
"There are no plum blossoms in the desert! You will know when you go in. The sand takes away a lot of your strength when you take a step, which is different from walking on a hard road on flat ground.
Logistics had to keep up. Both Zhu Biao and Zhu Ping had to come down and walk. Those who couldn't take the car had to store the car before entering the desert.
Our village wants to buy camels, buy them separately, and use them for our village’s cars. We can do without the prince’s car, but we can’t live without them.
As long as you give more money, someone will be willing to sell camels. In our village, we put skateboards under the cars so that the wheels can be dragged around without turning. "
When Zhu Wentian gets serious, Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi's cars and chariots will be abandoned, and the same goes for others, who can only rely on horses and people's backs.
If there are no cars in the desert, there should be no cars.
Xiaqiu Village had to buy more livestock, especially camels, and then add skateboards under the wheels to drag them along.
The car cannot be thrown away. Having a car from Xiaqiu Village ensures the chance of survival in extreme conditions.
It contains a laboratory set-up and a lot of state-of-the-art technical equipment that must not be thrown away.
"Then people around the desert will have less livestock to use, especially camels." The chief considered the people's problems.
"What are you going to do with it in winter? Sell it to us first. Oops! We're about to meet the team coming over there. Just in time. Exchange it with them."
As Zhu Wentian said this, he thought of the 100,000 troops returning, escorting the prisoners! We're almost there.
According to the agreed route, the returning team must have a large number of camels, so the cows will be given to the other party in exchange for the other party's camels.
…
Two days later, the team waiting here finally saw the people coming from the other side.
As soon as everyone arrives here, regardless of whether it's cold or not, everyone, including the prisoners, should drink water first.
"Your Highness the Prince, Your Highness the King of Qin, why not take a detour!" Liu Chong was afraid.
Seeing the appearance of 100,000 soldiers and a large group of prisoners, I felt that this road was filled with life and death.
Because people died, more than a hundred soldiers of the Ming Dynasty died on the way back, and more than 400 prisoners died.
Now everyone knows about coal mines, and people from even the farthest places come to dig coal and bring it back.
Later, people from surrounding prefectures and counties got the news and rushed over one after another. You don't have to pay a penny for the coal here. You can take the selected coal away and pack it as you like. You can pack it whenever you want.
"The cattle and some horses that cannot go into the desert have been raised well. Give them to them, and we will take over their camels and stay for another three days."
Zhu Biao disagreed. Why did General Xu Da rush?
You can still adjust yourself. At that time, the Chinese army did not have time to adjust. They just fought all the way forward, fought hard through the desert, and engaged the enemy as soon as they passed.
Three days is the time for the camels to recover after continuously crossing the desert. Every one of them has lost weight, but it doesn't matter. As long as they are given enough fodder, water, and salt, they will quickly gain weight again.
Now I have bought a lot of camels and feed them as well as the camels that came back from far away places.
Bean cake, bran, highland barley and barley puffed into granules.
The camels are happy, so what about camel thorns and salix, stand aside, we will eat them today.
Yes, camels can actually eat camel quills and other foods that normal people would find difficult to swallow.
But it doesn’t mean that camels can only eat these. If you give them better feed, they won’t eat camel thorns!
Feed the camel cactus and candied haws. As long as the camel has tasted the candied haws once, it will not touch the cactus.
If you want to save time now, give the camels good food and puffed food.
There was wheat bran in the feeding water, and there was a separate trough of salt next to it.
The camels that came over ate like crazy, let’s put it that way! They have never had such a good meal in their lives.
