Chapter 1130： Visit the Firearms University under construction

   On July 19, the sixth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao woke up very early on the small island of Twin Islands in the middle of the road. Instead of looking for Kong Ming, Qu Mao walked out of the zero-level residential house by himself.

Kong Ming didn’t sleep at all the night before, and the communication with Qu Mao on firearm technology itself was very late. After Qu Mao went to bed, Kong Ming was still holding a few sketches drawn by Qu Mao all night, thinking and even experimenting with grenade improvements and landmines. manufactured things.

   Walking out of the zero-level residence, Qu Mao found a Musketeer soldier to guide him to wash and have breakfast, and then Qu Mao began to wander around the small midway Twin Islands.

Since there were only 50 students in the first batch of Firearms University, and the early infrastructure was constructed using 20 school construction drawings, Qu Mao quickly found a firearms that was built both on duty and in reality. University construction site.

   Stopping a young man with some wood on his shoulders, Qu Mao asked, "Young man, where did you come to help build the Firearms University?"

  The young man gently leaned aside the wood he was carrying on his shoulders, bowed his hands and saluted and said, "My lord, the student is the first student of the Firearms University, majoring in gunpowder technology, and his name is Lu Zaixing.

  Now the school is under construction, and most of the professors are researching new firearm technology around Mr. Kong Ming, so I am both a student and a school builder. "

   Qu Mao nodded, patted the young man on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Lu Zaixing, yes, how old are you this year?"

   Lu Zaixing said: "My lord, the student is 16 years old this year. After studying at the Firearms University for 4 years, he is just 20 years old. At that time, the subordinates can officially serve the territory."

   Qu Mao nodded, looked at the wood Lu Zaixing put aside, and asked, "What are you doing? Which part of the school building is it?"

   Lu Zaixing said: "My lord, the students are responsible for assisting the soldiers in the construction of reality and jointly building the school's library. These brand new timbers will be sent up to the soldiers in charge of building the library.

   Of course, students will also pick up some replacement waste wood, because the waste wood can be used as fire starter after collection.

After the fire, there will be ash left over, which will be used to plant trees or fill up the experimental site of the Firearms Research Institute or the playground of the Firearms University. Of course, some students will take back the insufficiently burned wood and use it to configure gunpowder in the future. The students' majors It's gunpowder technology. "

   Qu Mao was stunned for a moment, and said: "I never thought you would be so frugal at such a young age.

  What majors are currently offered by Huowa University? "

Lu Zaixing said: "My lord, the Firearms University is newly built. There are only 50 students in the first batch. Now there are only five majors, gunpowder technology, gun manufacturing, artillery manufacturing, gun principle research, gun design, among which gun principle research There are only 5 students in the major, and 20 students in the gun design major.

  Students' professional gunpowder technology is not considered a popular major, nor is it considered an unpopular major. "

   Qu Mao nodded thoughtfully, and said, "No matter what the major is, students need to study hard."

Lu Zaixing said with a smile: "My lord, Master Kong Ming and the professors have emphasized again and again: At present, our Yigong territory is constantly fighting with foreign countries and lacks supplies. It is already a consideration to squeeze out so many resources to build the Firearms University." The importance of the Firearms University to the territory of Yigong is over.

  So whether we are professors or students, we all need to practice strict economy.

  Students try to save some charcoal for making gunpowder by themselves, in order to save some funds for the Firearms University. It is difficult for the Firearms University to last for a long time only relying on your subsidies from adults. As the first batch of students, we must have this awareness. "

   Qu Mao gave a thumbs up and said to Lu Zaixing: "Lu Zaixing, go and do your work, I'll take another look."

Lu Zaixing bowed his hands to Qu Mao, picked up the wood he had put aside, turned his head and said as he walked, "My lord, since you are here to visit the Firearms University under construction, the students in front have to look at it, that is our first classmate." A tree that each person planted and tended by himself.”

Qu Mao nodded, and after walking less than 200 meters, he saw the student forest mentioned by Lu Zaixing. In fact, it is a bit inappropriate to call it a forest. In an area of ​​about 10,000 square meters, only more than 50 trees were planted, less than one foot high. Just a small sapling.

  However, after getting closer, Qu Mao saw obvious water stains on the gravel at the roots of the young saplings, indicating that the students of the first class still took care of the saplings they planted by themselves.

   Qu Mao even saw plant ash mixed in the gravel at the roots of a few saplings, which showed that the students were really caring for these young saplings that had just been planted.

  Leaving the construction site of the Firearms University, Qu Mao turned back on the way back, and finally found that the zero-level residential house he lived in was not a firearms research institute that had been built, at best it could only be regarded as a temporary work shed.

  The Firearms Research Institute is also currently under construction. There are construction sites everywhere on the construction site, and there are smoke and dust everywhere. A large number of Firearms Army soldiers are walking back and forth, usually building buildings with different functions in reality.

Qu Mao specially ran to the place where the grenade was tested last night, stretched out his feet and rubbed the ground twice, and found that the place where the grenade was tested had been carefully paved with gravel by soldiers and researchers, and there were still stones on the gravel. Covered with a layer of sand.

After rubbing his feet again, Qu Mao found that the combined thickness of sand and gravel was only four to five centimeters. The gravel may have been obtained through quarrying on Twin Islands, but the sand must have come from other islands in the Holy Land. shipped over.

It seems that Kong Ming really put his heart into the construction of the Midway Twin Islands. The Midway Twin Islands are isolated in the center of the ocean, without any shelter around them. They are similar in nature to the United Islands and the Sky Islands. They are just bare stone mountains. Any sand and The gravel will be blown into the sea by the strong sea wind.

  The entire test site is only about 200 meters by 200 meters. Kong Ming has ordered soldiers to dig down to a depth of about 20 centimeters.

It took Kong Ming a lot of effort to transport it to the twin islands in the middle of the way, and to test the firearms. The site must be made of sand. If it is all hard stone ground, bullets, shells or fragments will fly around, which may lead to testing. unnecessary injury to personnel.

  Thinking of this, Qu Mao felt that it was necessary to help Kong Ming solve this problem, and to solve the problem of sand fixation, Yigong Territory is very experienced.

  Involuntarily, Qu Mao recalled the experience of planting trees and grass in Sky Island and Lian Island.
