60s: I have a store

Chapter 257 Ding Guoqing's Surprise
Ding Guoqing saw that everyone had evacuated and reached a safe place, then he started to detonate the device. The fuse was instantly ignited and began to burn along the original route.

After a while, "bang" and "bang" sounds were heard.

Although many people were prepared, they were still frightened by the loud explosion and subconsciously covered their ears.

The captain and others did not react at all to such a small scene. They did not retreat in the big scenes on the battlefield, let alone these.

At this moment, according to the original plan, there was one point that did not explode.

"Who will connect the fuse of this point?" Ding Guoqing couldn't help but ask.

The captain and Zhou Xuan'an looked at each other and thought that this place should have been arranged by the captain.

"I am responsible for this point." The captain said helplessly.

I didn't expect that I would fall so hard in such a situation and lose my face.

"I am responsible for answering this call. I will take it again now." Zhou Daming stood up and said at this time.

He was about to run over to take over the fuse, but the quick-eyed and quick-handed captain grabbed him and shouted angrily, "Boy, do you want to die? If you rush over like this, the detonator might explode."

This situation may still happen. Right now, everything in the country is just starting out, and there is still some lack of quality.

Zhou Daming suddenly felt his entire back was wet, and at this moment, there was a sudden sound of an explosion.

Everyone was shocked, it turned out that the point that had not exploded just now suddenly worked again.

Zhou Daming was completely stunned. If the captain hadn't just helped him, he would have been so scared that he didn't dare to think about the consequences.

"Thank you, Captain," Zhou Daming said tremblingly.

After this lesson, I guess no one would risk their life to join in the fun.

In this way, the blasting project was carried out in an orderly manner, and soon all the buried detonators were successfully detonated.

The team leader began to arrange for the villagers to move away the rubble that had just been exploded. Since there were no machinery, they had to rely on manpower. When they encountered some large stones, they used the principle of leverage.

The lever principle is a fundamental principle in physics that describes how a larger object can be moved using a smaller force through a fulcrum. For a lever to be balanced, the two torques acting on the lever must be equal in magnitude.

Mozi of the Warring States Period had already made some observations on levers. In "Mozi Jingshuo Xia", he said, "To balance, add weight to one side and hammer it until the weights are about the same. When weighed together, the base will be short and the bar will be long. If the weights on both sides are about the same, the bar will definitely go down, and the bar will be balanced."

These two articles describe the balance of levers in a comprehensive way. Some levers have equal arms, some have unequal arms; some have the weight at both ends changed to make it deflect, and some have the length of the two arms changed to make it deflect.

Archimedes has a famous saying that has been passed down for a long time: "Give me a fulcrum, and I can move the earth!" This sentence refers to the principle of leverage.

The construction of the reservoir was proceeding in an orderly manner. The morning passed like this, and after noon, everyone went to the canteen to eat.

Just when Ding Guoqing wanted to follow, Xu Xiangbei pulled him back and said, "Let's go to another place to eat."

After going to Zhou Yimin's house for dinner, I felt like I couldn't go back. Even the food at my own home wasn't as good as this. Although Ding Guoqing felt a little strange, he still followed Xu Xiangbei and soon arrived at Zhou Yimin's house.

When the old man saw Xu Xiangbei and Ding Guoqing, he welcomed them warmly, "Engineer Xu and this engineer, the meal is ready, you can eat now."

When I went over and saw the old man with a ruddy face in front of me, I knew that if the food was not good, he would definitely not eat like this.

It seems that the village in front of me is richer than I imagined, otherwise they wouldn't be so generous. I suddenly became curious about who is supporting it behind the scenes.

"Mr. Zhou, everyone says you can just call me Xiangbei. This is Ding Guoqing, you can just call him Guoqing." Xu Xiangbei said.

"Okay, Xiangbei and Guoqing, sit down for a while, we'll have dinner soon." said the old man.

After Ding Guoqing walked in, he found that the house was similar to that of an ordinary villager, except that it was much cleaner. Also, the honey and milk powder on the table seemed out of place with the surrounding environment. How could there be such a luxurious family nowadays!

Such a precious thing is just placed aside. If it were me, I would have kept it tightly shut for fear that others would find out and put it in such an obvious place.

At this time, Zhou Yimin's grandmother came over with two glasses of water and said, "Two engineers, you have worked hard. Have a drink of water first, and you can eat later."

Xu Xiangbei has become accustomed to this kind of enthusiasm. It does not harm him anyway. Since he can't resist it, why not enjoy it?
Ding Guoqing took it and took a drink, and found that it was sweet. Thinking of the honey just now, it seemed that honey must have been added to this glass of water.

Seeing this situation, I am even more looking forward to the lunch that will be coming up. I wonder what kind of feast it will be.

After a while, Zhou Yimin's grandmother said, "It's time to eat."

Xu Xiangbei and Ding Guoqing couldn't wait to see what to eat for lunch.

The old man stewed the silly roe deer sent by the village today. You know, in this kind of weather, unless it is made into bacon, it will not last long and will become rancid, which would be a waste, so he thought of using it to entertain Xu Xiangbei and Ding Guoqing.

You have to know that the old branch secretary gave as much as a whole hind leg, which is probably a quarter of a silly roe deer. This time, less than half of it was stewed. The rest has been made into bacon and hung in the kitchen to dry.

It's not that they don't want to hang it outside to dry, the main reason is that it's too high-profile. Most of the villagers won't have any objections. There will always be some people who are jealous and can't stand others living better than themselves. They are just afraid that it will affect Zhou Yimin.

Ding Guoqing was also shocked when he saw the dishes on the table. Although he was not short of food, his family might only eat meat once or twice a month. If he was not an engineer, he would probably have even fewer meat coupons.

There is so much meat, I guess my family may not even have this much for the New Year’s meal.

The old man saw Ding Guoqing was stunned, so he asked, "Guoqing, is this dish not to your taste?"

"Mr. Zhou, he must have been frightened. That place might not be to his liking." Xu Xiangbei exposed.

Nowadays, even if there is meat to eat, it is not tasty. Even if it is spoiled, people probably won’t be willing to throw it away. At most, they will just cut off the spoiled part, which is already a waste.

Ding Guoqing, who was exposed, said hurriedly: "No, it suits my taste very well."
