204 Daily life in prison 3
...
"No noise during rest time! Turn off the lights!"
After dinner and showering, the prisoners ended their day's life. Under the rude scolding of the prisoners, they entered their own space.
As the guided candlelight went out, the entire prison fell into silence, leaving only the howling cold wind shuttled inside and outside the prison wall...
"Vomit~"
Lin Zihua leaned over and lay down beside the urine bucket, vomiting constantly, and kept recalling the unbearable scene in his mind when he was taking a shower.
After dinner, the prisoners took the prisoners into the bathhouse to wash up. When Lin Zihua took off his clothes and began to jump into the steaming pool to clean himself, Tulazan, who had been patient for a day, finally revealed his true purpose.
Tulazan threatened and tempted Lin Zihua, forcing him to open his mouth, and then stuffed something that Dianniang would definitely seal into it until Tulazan left with satisfaction.
Lin Zihua swore that he never thought in his life that he would have such a shameful day. His long prison life had already turned these prisoners into terrible devils.
In order to survive, Lin Zihua did what he was most reluctant to do in his life and never imagined.
If he wants to survive, he must adapt to the life of the prison and do it according to the rules in the prison.
Even though he felt very disgusting...
Lying on the bed, Lin Zihua forced himself to fall asleep quickly and tried to abandon the scene that happened in the bathhouse before.
However, his sacrifice and efforts were not in vain. Afterwards, Tulazan explained how he could get along with others in prison and how to avoid being punished.
He silently remembered all of this in his heart. He knew that he would have to spend a long time in this prison in the future, and he had to adapt to the living environment here as quickly as possible, even if he sacrificed his "humor".
This kind of thing happens once, there are second, third, countless times. As long as you get used to it, it may not be so difficult to accept.
As she thought about it, sleepiness swept over like a tide. Lin Zihua turned over, wrapped her quilt tightly, and soon fell into a deep sleep...
On the second day, Lin Zihua was assigned to the logging work.
The backbone of the technology department, including Luque and other science and technology departments, based on the steam horn invented not long ago, cooperated with the railway paved in various factories by Liu Ce, and the "train design" left by the Military Governor's Office, spent a huge amount of money to tinker with a steam train.
However, this steam train is currently in the preliminary experimental stage and can only carry about 30 tons of goods at most. It requires livestock consignment to start, and many problems have not been solved.
When the Far East first came out, all officials from the Far East went to observe, but were not shocked by this revolutionary product that transcended the times. They had to pass through the Far East and had long been used to new things.
Instead, he scolded Luque and other people on the spot for making money. What's the use of fiddling such a half-baked thing after spending tens of millions of silver dollars? It would be better to be more affordable and increase the production capacity of a few iron-smelting boilers in the factory, so as to strive to pass the 300,000 tons of iron this year.
The entire Far East has formed a solid interest system, centered on the Liu Ce Group, developed into all walks of life, and summarized the interests of almost all classes in the Far East, including foreign races outside the Great Wall.
Over the years, thanks to the dividends brought by high-tech industrialization, 150 million people in the Far East enjoy an unprecedented comfortable living environment.
Many of them are no longer limited to the material needs of daily life. Most people have free money to enjoy spiritual life. Because their lives are abundant and their prices are stable, the scale of business in the Far East is more developed than that of Jiang Xun when they were. The conflict between the gentry and the common people is also alleviated on a safe level due to the reasonable distribution of dividends.
Over time, scholars and common people also have their own common interests, that is peace.
As long as there is war, the Far East gentry and people will actively support the Han army to win the victory. This support is not verbal and spiritual, but real material support. Only peace can enjoy peace. This truth is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of the Far East that have been chaotic for a long time.
Secondly, due to the considerable profits brought by the sales of industrial products at home and abroad, both the gentry and the civilians have become equally rich. Naturally, I think that the Far East Administration can continue to increase investment in renewal based on the original industrial technology.
Therefore, the emergence of the steam train has squeezed out sky-high funds, and naturally it will be yelled and scolded by all officials.
It’s not that these officials have no vision, but the steam train is too "vanguard". He has no idea what his purpose is.
But then again, the performance of the train in the preliminary experimental stage is indeed difficult to describe. The train loaded with 30 tons of cargo is only about five or six kilometers per hour, which is far less than a fast horse running straight on the flat ground. There are no more road restrictions. This naturally caused unanimous opposition from the Far East and even reported to Chang'an, causing a sensation.
All officials in the Far East thought that Liu Ce would order the train to be stopped after learning the news, but no one expected that Liu Ce's reply was a high recognition of Luque and the officials of the Science and Technology Department, and increased investment in R&D funds, which was shocking.
The reason given by Liu Ce is: Steam trains are currently in the experimental stage, and all problems cannot be just looking at the surface. For example, although the train can only travel twenty miles in one hour and not as fast as the people and horses, please note that the people and horses are physically limited and it is impossible to move around twelve hours. As long as the train is abundant in energy, it can move day and night. After careful calculation, it can travel 240 miles a day and night. Is it still unclear which is more important?
With Liu Ce's support, the personnel of the Science and Technology Department were naturally lazy to pay attention to the group of "short-sighted" "barbarians" and continued to step up their research on the performance of the train.
Finally, the second phase of the experiment was broken, and it was just a matter of on-site verification. Lu Que and others struggled to approve the steam train experiment from the stingy official office.
However, this time, the steam train experiment was approved in Amanshan, saying that the steam train is too noisy and it is easy to disturb the public, and the black gas from the chimney is likely to pollute the environment.
This is very different from Luque's desire to build railway tracks in various provinces in the Far East to open traffic.
But it was approved in the end. In order to save costs, in addition to the necessary technicians, the coolies for building railway tracks naturally fell on the prisoners. There were 30,000 prisoners busy in the 800-mile wilderness of Manshan, striving to complete and open traffic by summer tomorrow.
The task assigned by Manshan Prison is to build a railway station, which is naturally done by the prisoners.
Lin Zihua didn't know what train he was, nor did he know what the meaning of being busy here was. He only knew that if he wanted to survive and to get out of prison early and reunite with his family, he had to complete his daily tasks on time.
