Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 378 Mouse Generator

"Woo~wu~"

Following the sound of a whistle, not long after, Li Guoqiang's figure appeared alone on the platform.

Obviously, he was the only passenger getting off the train when it arrived at this station.

This also shows how poor the economic activities in Chang County are.

However, these had nothing to do with him. He exhaled a breath of white hot air, then strode out of the train station.

Then, he first found a secluded place, took out a coat from his little world and put it on himself.

Although he is now immune to cold and heat, he still doesn't want to be too strong when facing the late autumn night in the north. It would be more comfortable if he could be a little warmer.

Then, he used the small world to teleport out of the county and headed towards the deep mountains of Jinshanbao.

Soon, he successfully arrived at the gate of Liang Xianglian's house, and then quietly took out two large baskets of daily necessities from the small world. Among them were not only fresh chicken, duck, fish, rice, flour, grain and oil, but also some fun things specially bought by Shang Xiuzhen and others.

Since he planned to let Shang Xiuzhen and others live here to take care of the pregnancy, it was naturally impossible to hide the existence of Liang Xianglian and Erniu.

Fortunately, Luo Huijuan has always been generous, and since she is pregnant, she inevitably feels that she has neglected Li Guoqiang.

Therefore, she easily accepted the existence of Liang Xianglian and Erniu, and even felt some sympathy for the pitiful life stories and experiences of Liang Xianglian and Erniu, mother and daughter.

If there is a chance, she would really like to come and meet Liang Xianglian, Erniu, Xu Yuping, Ma Shufen, Zhu Caiyan and other sisters.

On the one hand, it is for the harmonious development of the family, and on the other hand, it is also to establish the authority of the eldest wife.

Li Guoqiang naturally had no objection to this, but just said that he would wait and see when he had the chance.

After making sure that nothing was missing, he did not go into the house directly, but put the things in the yard, and then went to the three newly built brick houses next to it.

At this point, after more than a month of storage, both the walls and the floor have dried.

He first used the small world to clean up the dust scattered around the house, and then with a wave of his hand, he took out various furniture and daily necessities from the small world and placed them one by one in the house.

Before long, the whole house looked brand new and was ready for move-in.

The only drawback is that the room lacks some liveliness.

However, this problem is easy to solve. We just need to let Liang Xianglian, Erniu and others move in first.

In this way, on the one hand, Liang Xianglian and Erniu can improve their living conditions, and on the other hand, these three large tiled houses can be made more lively, so that Shang Xiuzhen and others can live more comfortably when they come here to take care of their pregnancies.

By the time I finished everything, more than two hours had passed without me noticing.

Among them, it didn’t take much time to put things in place. Most of the time was spent on decoration and layout.

For example, door curtains, window curtains, kang mats, water jars, soy sauce jars, electrical wires, etc.

After making sure nothing was missing, he went on to install the battery pack.

As early as when he was building the house, he had already taken electricity usage into consideration, so he built a total of three small houses in the yard, which were used as a toilet, a bathhouse, and a power room.

The battery pack is installed in the power generation room.

Speaking of these batteries, he found some materials from the recycling station, and then used the control function of the Little World to DIY them himself!

Although its capacity is not very large, it is enough to light up seven or eight light bulbs, or even power a tape recorder.

At the same time, for sustainable utilization, he also made ten mouse generator roller machines using steel and discarded bearings.

If we were to say which animal is the most abundant in these forests, it would definitely be mice.

As long as he could catch enough mice, he could make ten mouse drum generators, which would then provide enough electricity for the battery pack to store and use.

This can not only eliminate pests but also recycle waste, which is killing two birds with one stone.

As for the problem of catching mice, it was not a big problem for him. He only needed to use the all-round vision of the small world and the teleportation function to easily catch some mice from the mountains and forests.

Moreover, if possible, he could also let Liang Xianglian and Erniu try to tame mice, extend the lifespan of mice, and reduce the frequency of catching them.

Even if he couldn't tame it in the end, with the mouse's tenacious vitality, it could at least work for him for three or four days.

In addition, he could also ask Liang Xianglian and Erniu to install some mouse-catching devices near their home, thereby obtaining a steady supply of free labor.

All in all, Lao Shu, a natural worker, is destined to be one.

He worked like this for more than half an hour, and soon he had installed the battery pack and the mouse generator roller machine. Then, before dawn, he teleported to the nearby mountains and forests to search for traces of mice.

Because Liang Xianglian and Erniu's family live here and have lived here for nearly twenty years, there are already several nests of rats living and breeding near their home.

Not long after, Li Guoqiang came back with more than thirty mice of all sizes, apparently wiping out all three tribes.

Then, he simply divided them into ten portions, containing three or four each, and stuffed them into ten rotating drum generators.

The next moment, driven by fear, they started running non-stop in the drum.

At the same time, a small amount of electricity is generated in the shaft and then injected into the battery pack through wires.

Li Guoqiang waited for a while, and then seeing that the time was almost up, he hurriedly took out a light bulb and installed it into the lamp holder that had been installed previously.

In an instant, a bright orange light shone out from the power room.

Seeing the light, Li Guoqiang's mood slightly improved, but the mice became even more panicked.

After all, they had never seen such lights suddenly appear at night in their entire lives!

This also allows the drum generator to generate more electricity.

According to estimates, if these mice can maintain this level of power generation efficiency, the battery pack may be fully charged in less than a day.

When the battery pack is fully charged, it can power seven or eight light bulbs for three or four days.

In this way, even if the number of rats cannot be replenished in time in the future, the existing rats can be used to guarantee at least half a month's electricity consumption.

In addition, such a long time is enough for Liang Xianglian and Erniu to find a way to catch some new mice. After confirming that there was no problem with the battery pack and the drum generator, Li Guoqiang directly installed the light bulb in the toilet next door, and did not forget to install the pull switch at the door.

Then, according to the already laid wires, he installed light bulbs in the bathhouse, outhouse, east room and west room, and finally completed the entire electrical system before dawn.

When he turned on all the light bulbs and stood in the yard to look, his mind suddenly recalled the rural home where he had lived as a child in his previous life.

At that time, every household in the village used this kind of orange-yellow light bulb, which looked warm.

Unlike later, with the popularization of LED light tubes, every household was filled with cold white light.

It does look a lot brighter, but the human touch that can give people warmth is gradually disappearing.

After thinking for a while, Li Guoqiang didn't think about it any more.

After all, no matter what, people have to live in the present.

Seeing that it was about to dawn, he turned off the light bulbs one by one, then looked at the mice and found that they were still running hard due to the inertia of the drum.

So, he smiled slightly, and used teleportation to return to the mountain path outside Jinshan Fort. Then he took out the various gifts bought by Shang Xiuzhen and others from the small world, put them in a basket, and carried them on his shoulders with a shoulder pole.

Just as he was walking slowly towards Jinshan Fort, Liang Xianglian got up early as usual to prepare breakfast. As soon as she walked to the door of the house, she saw two large baskets of good things.

This made her feel a little surprised for a moment, and then she hurriedly ran out of the house and looked around to see if Li Guoqiang was still there.

Soon, she discovered that there was something wrong with the three large tiled houses next door, so she hurried over.

When she found that the house was already filled with furniture and daily necessities, as well as light bulbs and mouse generators, she was completely stunned.

Although she already knew that Li Guoqiang had some miraculous abilities and often came and went without a trace, she was still shocked that Li Guoqiang had built these three large tiled houses in such a short time and made them so luxurious.

Fortunately, she had already given her entire body and soul to Li Guoqiang, so she slowly accepted it.

Afterwards, she found a note left by Li Guoqiang on the two baskets of good things, and from the note, she learned that Li Guoqiang would come again in two days.

This instantly filled her heart with anticipation, and she hurried back to the inner room and woke up Erniu.

When Erniu woke up and heard that Li Guoqiang had returned, she immediately jumped up from the kang, and without caring that she was only wearing a short-sleeved undershirt, she hurried out of the house.

Liang Xianglian found it hilarious when she saw this, and hurriedly chased after them and pulled Erniu back into the house. She also told her the news that Li Guoqiang would be coming over in two days, as well as the changes in the big tiled house next door, so as to prevent Erniu from making a fuss later.

However, she ultimately underestimated Erniu's interest in the new things in the big tiled house, such as furniture, electric lights, and mouse generators.

Soon, Erniu rushed into the big tile-roofed house and could not be called back.

Then, the third child, who was woken up, saw the changes in the big tile-roofed house. He opened his eyes wide as if he had discovered a new continent. He looked here and there, and exclaimed from time to time.

If it weren't for the thatched adobe house where he grew up, he would probably have thought he had gone to a big city outside the mountains.

Just as he and Erniu gathered in the power room, looking at the running mice and the wires with great curiosity, on the other side, Li Guoqiang also returned to Jinshanbao smoothly, and just at the entrance of the village, he met Xu Yuliang, who was wandering around because he couldn't sleep all night.

When he saw Li Guoqiang suddenly appear in front of him, his eyes widened, and then he rubbed his eyes in disbelief and asked, "Am I dazzled?"

"Ah!"

Li Guoqiang was delighted when he saw this, and then he laughed and joked, "What's the matter? Brother Yuliang, it's been such a long time since we last met, and you don't recognize me?"

"Hadron!"

When Xu Yuliang heard Li Guoqiang's voice, his whole body trembled slightly, and then he shouted with surprise: "Qiangzi, you are really back!"

After saying that, he hurried forward and hugged Li Guoqiang, as if he was afraid that Li Guoqiang would run away.

"Hey!"

Li Guoqiang raised his eyebrows when he saw Xu Yuliang like this, and then he quickly said, "Brother Yuliang, what are you doing? I'm not a pretty girl, why are you so excited?"

"Ha ha!"

Hearing this, Xu Yuliang couldn't help but laugh and said, "In my opinion, you are much more important than a pretty girl."

After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something, his expression became serious, and then he pulled Li Guoqiang and urged him, "Let's go to the apiary. The people over there are waiting for you to save them!"

"Help?"

Li Guoqiang was slightly stunned, then asked in confusion: "What happened?"

"that."

When Xu Yuliang heard Li Guoqiang's question, his expression froze, and then he quickly said, "This is what happened. I don't know what happened a few days ago, but a lot of bees in the First Bee Farm suddenly died.

By now, almost all of them are dead.

Then, the same situation occurred at the second apiary. No matter what we did, we couldn't stop the bees from dying one after another.

Now that you're back, please go and help us check it out!

If this continues, I’m worried that even the second apiary won’t be able to be maintained.”

After saying that, he immediately pulled Li Guoqiang towards the back mountain.

However, before he had walked for long, he was forcibly stopped by Li Guoqiang.

"Brother Yuliang, don't worry. I'm carrying some stuff on my back! Please let me take the stuff home first!"

"Forehead"

Xu Yuliang was slightly stunned when he heard this, then he nodded quickly and agreed, "Okay, then you take the things home first, and I'll go call Uncle Maocai and Uncle Changshun over."

After saying that, he ran towards Sun Maocai's house without waiting for Li Guoqiang to say anything.

Li Guoqiang couldn't help but feel a little funny when he saw Xu Yuliang like this, then he picked up things and walked towards his home calmly.
