Return to the era, take over and become a winner in life

Chapter 210 released a new task (Happy New Year's Eve!)
"What's wrong? Just say what you want to say. Is there anything we can't talk about?" Xu Ye looked at Zhang Sanbao and said very frankly.

Zhang Sanbao took a deep breath, and then said: "Brother Ye, can you lend me three hundred yuan?"

"I want to build a house myself, but I don't have enough money."

Xu Ye smiled slightly, took out the money directly, counted out three hundred and handed it to Zhang Sanbao.

"It's not too much. Three hundred is still fine." Xu Ye said generously.

"That's enough. It's definitely enough. I just want the kind of house you designed, Brother Gai Ye."

"With the young construction team and Brother Ye, we can save a lot of wages to buy materials." Zhang Sanbao said happily.

With this money, he can buy some materials and take them back today.

"I really envy Sanbao. I wonder when we can build our own house."

"That's right, Sanbao is really lucky. He followed the captain into the mountains to hunt from the beginning."

Zhang Sanbao said proudly: "Why are you in such a hurry? In half a year at most, you will definitely have your own hunting rifle and build your own house."

Originally, Zhang Sanbao didn't need to borrow money, but he bought a shotgun first.

"Sanbao, building a house is a big deal. You must choose good materials. Don't buy inferior products just to save money." Xu Ye reminded.

Zhang Sanbao nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Brother Ye, I have already inquired about it. There are several building materials markets in the county that have good quality. I will go buy materials now."

Xu Ye patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, then you go ahead and get busy. Gu Yun and I still have some things to do."

Zhang Sanbao smiled gratefully, turned around and left the teahouse.

Xu Ye and Gu Yun continued to be busy in the county town. After purchasing the necessary items, they set off back to the village.

When I got home, Jiang Ruyue was chatting with Li Qing in the yard.

Seeing Xu Ye and Gu Yun coming back, the two of them immediately came over to greet them.

"You must be tired. Go inside and have some rest. The food is still hot in the pot. You can eat first." Jiang Ruyue said considerately.

So Xu Ye and Gu Yun went to eat first.

Everyone is here tonight, so Xu Ye will definitely sleep alone.

However, he was happy with it.

After dinner, Xu Ye took a simple shower.

Then, I went to the study and read for a while with Jiang Ruyue and others.

After all, it is unusual to go to rest so early, and Xu Ye doesn't want to cause everyone's worry.

He was reading a high school textbook, just like Gu Yun and Xu Ye.

Jiang Ruyue and Li Qing are reading junior high school content because Jiang Ruyue has not yet fully mastered the content.

It was past ten o'clock before everyone went to bed.

Xu Ye also returned to the room. As soon as he got on the bed, Jiang Ruyue ran over to give Xu Ye a massage.

She said Xu Ye had been tired from running around the county town today, and she had to give him a massage to help him relax.

Xu Ye naturally wouldn't refuse and just went for the chance to enjoy himself.

However, while I was enjoying this, more than an hour passed by quietly.

After Jiang Ruyue fell asleep due to tiredness, Xu Ye silently said "mechanical workshop" in his heart and entered it.

After entering the workshop, Xu Ye carefully checked every machine and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no problems.

He then continued to work on the processing of steam engine parts.

As the roar of the milling machine sounded, Xu Ye operated it with full concentration, and the tool in his hand steadily controlled every detail.

As time passed, beads of sweat began to appear on Xu Ye's forehead again.

But he did not stop, but continued to work attentively.

He knows that only through constant practice can he improve his skills.

"Ding!" The system prompt sounded again.

"It is detected that the host is performing mechanical processing. Mechanical processing proficiency +1."

Xu Ye smiled slightly, feeling relieved.

Now that he has processed all the parts, he can assemble the steam engine directly.

Xu Ye stood in front of the workbench in the mechanical workshop, with the front filled with steam engine parts that had just been processed.

Each part has been carefully polished and measured by him, and the size and precision have met the design requirements.

He took a deep breath, his heart filled with anticipation and nervousness.

"It's finally time for assembly." Xu Ye whispered to himself.

He picked up the blueprint and carefully checked the position and installation order of each part.

The assembly of a steam engine is a complicated process, and any error in any link may cause the entire machine to stop working.

Xu Ye did not dare to be careless at all and devoted himself fully to the assembly work.

First, he installed the boiler part of the steam engine.

The boiler is the core component of the steam engine and is responsible for generating high-pressure steam.

Xu Ye carefully pieced together the various components of the boiler, ensuring that every interface fit perfectly.

Next, he installed the piston and connecting rod of the steam engine. The piston and connecting rod are responsible for converting the pressure of steam into mechanical movement and are the power source of the steam engine. Xu Ye put the piston into the cylinder and then connected the connecting rod to the piston. He gently turned the connecting rod to confirm that the piston could move smoothly in the cylinder.

"Very good, there is no problem with the installation of the piston and connecting rod." Xu Ye nodded with satisfaction.

Finally, he installed the flywheel and transmission of the steam engine.

The flywheel is responsible for storing and releasing energy, making the steam engine run more smoothly.

Xu Ye installed the flywheel on the main shaft and then connected the transmission device to the flywheel.

He gently turned the flywheel to confirm that the transmission could transmit power smoothly.

Xu Ye let out a long sigh, his heart filled with a sense of accomplishment.

He stood in front of the steam engine and carefully checked every part. After confirming that there was no problem, he started the steam engine.

"Boom!" The steam engine made a low roar, and the water in the boiler began to boil, producing high-pressure steam.

The piston starts to move under the push of steam, the connecting rod drives the flywheel to rotate, and the transmission device transmits the power.

"Success!" Xu Ye shouted excitedly.

He looked at the running steam engine and his heart was filled with pride.

This was the first time he had independently designed and assembled a steam engine. Although it was only a simple model, it meant that he had taken the first step towards becoming a mechanical engineer.

"Ding!"

[Detected that the host has completed the steam engine assembly task, rewarded 10 points of mechanical engineering attribute]

Seeing the reward, Xu Ye couldn't help but smile.

Then he checked his system panel.

[Host: Xu Ye]

[Mechanical Engineer Attribute Points: 10]

(Mechanical Engineer attribute points can be used to improve mechanical-related skills or unlock design drawings of special mechanical devices.)
(To strengthen and upgrade the mechanical workshop equipment, double attribute points are required.)
He was considering whether he should use special attributes to add points to these engineers' skills.

After consideration, Xu Ye decided to give up.

Special attributes are too difficult to obtain, and it is probably difficult to obtain them even by hunting.

After all, he had already completed nine kills.

Next, it will be ten kills or more.

It is not easy to get ten kills, after all, there are only a limited number of animals in the mountains.

In addition, they will run for their lives.

But he will not give up and will still look for opportunities to get more rewards.

"Ding, you have a new task, please check."

Hearing the prompt, Xu Ye immediately became happy.

He was very curious about what the system would let him make this time.

Xu Ye couldn't wait to open the system panel to check the details of the new task.

[Task: Design and manufacture a simple agricultural irrigation pump that can meet the irrigation needs of at least 50 acres of farmland. The time limit is one month.]

[Task completion reward: 15 points of mechanical engineering attribute, unlock intermediate materials knowledge, and randomly obtain a mechanical device design drawing. ]

When seeing this task, Xu Ye's eyes sparkled with excitement.

He knew that this was not only a challenge, but also a great opportunity to improve his mechanical skills.

Agricultural irrigation pumps are vital to the agricultural development of the village. If they can be successfully manufactured, they will greatly reduce the burden of villagers in irrigating farmland and increase crop yields.

Xu Ye began to think about the design of the water pump in his mind.

He thought that to meet the irrigation needs of 50 acres of farmland, the power of the pump must be large enough, while also taking into account the cost and ease of operation.

He decided to design a water pump based on the principle of a centrifugal pump, which has a simple structure, high efficiency, and is easy to manufacture and maintain.

This time, when he went to the county town, he bought some books about mechanical maintenance because these were the only books available.

Things like design and construction can't be bought at all.

However, for Xu Ye, it would be good to have some maintenance knowledge.

After all, the drawings inside were the mechanical structures, which were very practical for him.

He did not design it immediately because he wanted to see if there was any knowledge about repairing water pumps in the maintenance book he bought.

Of course, this is no longer a suitable time to get up and read.

So, he quietly exited the system's mechanical workshop and returned to the real world.

After coming out, he went straight to bed. After all, it was already past four in the morning and he had to hurry up and get some sleep.

Before I knew it, the sky was getting brighter.

The sound of birds coming from outside the window broke the tranquility of the night.

Xu Ye rubbed his tired eyes and looked at the time. It was already six o'clock in the morning.

After getting up, Xu Ye went to the bathroom to wash up briefly, and then came to the yard.

Xu Ye stood in the yard, took a deep breath of the fresh morning air, and felt a little more refreshed.

"Brother Ye, good morning!" Zhang Sanbao's voice came from outside the yard. He was holding some tools in his hands, obviously preparing to build a house.

"Good morning, Sanbao." Xu Ye responded with a smile, "Have you bought all the materials?"

"I've bought it. I went to the county yesterday afternoon to get it back, and today we started digging the septic tank!" Zhang Sanbao said excitedly, "Brother Ye, if you have time, can you come with me to take a look and give me some pointers? I'm afraid I can't do it myself."

Xu Ye nodded: "Okay, I'll go over after I finish breakfast. You go ahead and do your work, don't worry."

Zhang Sanbao smiled gratefully, turned around and left the yard.

When Xu Ye returned to the room, Jiang Ruyue had already prepared breakfast.

Although the porridge and pickles were simple, Xu Ye ate them with gusto.

Gu Yun and Li Qing also got up one after another, and everyone sat around the dining table together. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

"Brother Ye, do you have any plans for today?" Li Qing asked while eating.

"Well, I'll go help Sanbao check out the house in the morning, and I plan to study the design of the water pump in the afternoon." Xu Ye replied.

"Water pump?" Jiang Ruyue asked curiously, "Do you want to make a water pump?"

Xu Ye nodded: "Yes, I want to design an agricultural irrigation pump to help the villagers solve the irrigation problem. If it succeeds, everyone won't have to work so hard to carry water in the future."

"Wow, Brother Ye, you are amazing!" Li Qing looked at Xu Ye in admiration, "If you can really do it, it will be a great help."

Xu Ye smiled and said, "It hasn't started yet, so I don't know if it will succeed. But I will try my best."

Although it is a system task, in reality, Xu Ye also hopes to build a water pump.

If possible, the village can open a machinery factory in the future.

Not only can it manufacture water pumps, but it can also manufacture other mechanical equipment.

After breakfast, Xu Ye went to Zhang Sanbao’s construction site first.

Zhang Sanbao was digging the foundation with several of his brothers and other teenagers from the youth construction team. When he saw Xu Ye coming, he quickly put down the tools in his hands and went to greet him.

"Brother Ye, you're here!" Zhang Sanbao wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Look, I've already dug the septic tank, what should I do next?"

Xu Ye looked at the depth and width of the foundation and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, it's dug very solidly. The next step is to make the formwork and then pour the concrete."

Zhang Sanbao nodded repeatedly: "Okay, Brother Ye, I'll remember it."

Xu Ye started working with them and also gave guidance to the young men in the youth construction team.

After a busy morning, they not only completed the septic tank, but also dug the foundation.

Tomorrow, we can build the template to tie the steel bars.

In the afternoon, Xu Ye did not continue to help, but prepared to read at home.

After lunch, he went into the study immediately.

He took out the mechanical maintenance book he bought in the county town yesterday from the bookshelf and began to read it carefully.

Although these books are mainly about maintenance, they also contain some structural diagrams and introductions to the working principles of water pumps.

Xu Ye took notes as he watched, and a preliminary design plan gradually formed in his mind.

"The principle of a centrifugal pump is to use a high-speed rotating impeller to throw water out, creating negative pressure, thereby sucking water into the pump body." Xu Ye drew a structural diagram of the centrifugal pump in his notebook, marking the name and function of each component.

"To meet the irrigation needs of 50 acres of farmland, the pump power must be large enough, and the diameter and speed of the impeller need to be carefully calculated." Xu Ye thought while writing and drawing on paper.

Time passed unknowingly, and Xu Ye was completely immersed in the design. It was not until Jiang Ruyue knocked on the door and came in that he realized it was dinner time.

"Xu Ye, it's time to eat." Jiang Ruyue said softly.

Xu Ye raised his head and rubbed his sore eyes: "Okay, I'll be right there."
