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

Chapter 211 System Reward Blueprint (New Year, I wish you all the best!)
[Happy Chinese New Year, and auspicious Year of the Snake. I wish every reader good luck, prosperity, and may all their wishes come true! ]

After dinner, Xu Ye returned to the study and opened the mechanical maintenance books again.

His eyes moved across the dense text and complex drawings, not missing any potentially useful details.

He knew very well that if he wanted to design a pump that could meet the irrigation needs of 50 acres of farmland, theoretical knowledge alone was far from enough. He had to combine it with the actual situation and make repeated calculations and adjustments.

He wrote down formulas on paper to calculate the impeller diameter, speed, and size and shape of the pump body.

Every piece of data was determined after his careful consideration.

As time went by, Xu Ye's design plan gradually became clear.

But he did not relax because of this, instead he became more cautious.

Because he knew that a small mistake could lead to the failure of the entire design.

In the next few days, apart from occasionally helping Zhang Sanbao check on the progress of the house, Xu Ye locked himself in the study room and focused on the design of the water pump.

Jiang Ruyue, Gu Yun and Li Qing also understood him very well. They tried not to disturb him and just silently prepared three meals a day and daily necessities for him.

The construction of Zhang Sanbao's house is progressing smoothly. The foundation has been compacted, the formwork has been built, the steel bars have been tied, and we are just waiting to pour the concrete.

He looked at his house which was about to take shape, his heart filled with joy and gratitude.

And a large part of this gratitude comes from Xu Ye.

"Brother Ye, if it weren't for your help, I don't know when I could build this house." Zhang Sanbao said to Xu Ye, his eyes full of sincerity.

Xu Ye smiled and waved his hands: "Sanbao, don't say that, we are all brothers, and it is only natural for us to help each other. And you have worked very hard, otherwise how could you build your own house so quickly?"

Zhang Sanbao scratched his head and chuckled: "Anyway, Brother Ye, you have been a great help to me. When the new house is completed, you must be the one to start the fire."

Xu Ye nodded and agreed: "Okay, I will come when your house is ready."

After saying goodbye to Zhang Sanbao, Xu Ye returned home and continued to devote himself to the design of the water pump.

After repeated revisions and improvements, he finally completed the preliminary design drawings.

Looking at the drawings in his hand, Xu Ye felt a sense of accomplishment.

But he also knew that this was only the first step, and there would be a more difficult task waiting for him, which was to build an actual water pump.

Making a water pump requires various materials and tools, which are obviously not found in the village.

Xu Ye decided to go to the county town again to purchase the necessary materials and tools.

When he told Jiang Ruyue and the others about this idea, Jiang Ruyue said with some concern: "Xu Ye, you just came back from the county town not long ago. Are you too tired to go again?"

Xu Ye smiled and comforted her: "It's okay, I'm not tired. Making a water pump is a big deal, and we have to buy all the materials and tools."

Gu Yun also said: "Then be careful on the road. If you need any help, just tell us."

Xu Ye nodded: "Don't worry, I will be careful. You should take good care of yourselves at home."

Early the next morning, Xu Ye set out for the county town with enough money.

This time, he was familiar with the route and quickly arrived at the county town.

He first went to the hardware store he had been to before and bought various metal materials needed to make the pump, such as steel pipes, iron plates, impellers, etc.

The quality of these materials was very good, but the price was not cheap, and it almost used up all his savings.

But Xu Ye did not hesitate at all. He knew that in order to make a high-quality water pump, he had to use good materials.

In reality, it is still very difficult to make a water pump by hand. After all, there are no various processing machines in the real world.

It's not like in the system's mechanical workshop, where there are many tools to use.

Therefore, after buying the materials, Xu Ye did not start working immediately, but started working in the mechanical workshop first.

Once you make something in the mechanical workshop, you will accumulate some experience.

Therefore, whenever Xu Ye had time, he would go into the mechanical workshop to process parts.

Finally, with his unremitting efforts, Xu Ye successfully completed the production and assembly of the irrigation pump in the mechanical workshop.

The moment it is assembled, the system prompts will appear.

[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.]

[Mission completed, congratulations to the host for obtaining 15 points of mechanical engineering attribute, unlocking intermediate materials knowledge, and randomly obtaining a mechanical device design drawing. ]

Xu Ye was very happy when he looked at the reward he received.

He added mechanical engineering attribute points to mechanical design and machining skills, improving his skill level.

Then he looked at the design drawings of the mechanical device that he had obtained randomly.

This is a design drawing of a small generator. Although it is just a small generator, it is a new challenge and opportunity for Xu Ye.

He knew that as the village grew, the demand for electricity would grow.

If a small generator can be manufactured, it will not only meet the daily electricity needs of the village, but also provide power support for the opening of a machinery factory in the future.

Xu Ye decided that after completing the subsequent improvements to the water pump, he would start researching and manufacturing small generators.

In the following days, Xu Ye began to rub the water pump by hand in real life.

The process of making the water pump was far more difficult than he had imagined.

The first step was to cut the steel pipe. Since there was no professional cutting equipment, Xu Ye could only cut it bit by bit with a saw.

This not only consumed a lot of his physical strength, but the cut steel pipes were also not very neat and required further grinding and trimming.

He didn't have electric welding, so after processing all the things, he took them to the county town to ask someone to help him weld them.

Xu Ye encountered even greater difficulties when making the impeller.

The shape and size of the impeller must be very precise, and any slight deviation will affect the performance of the pump.

Xu Ye tried various methods, such as manual polishing and using molds, but none of them could achieve the precision he wanted.

Just when he was feeling a little desperate, he suddenly thought of the milling machine in the machine workshop.

Unfortunately, the milling machine could not be used in the machine workshop.

Things in reality cannot be taken in, processed, and then taken out.

So, he could only go to the county town.

Xu Ye cannot afford equipment such as milling machines for the time being.

Even the village cannot afford such equipment.

So far, he went directly to the county town and asked Fan Xiaofeng's husband for help. Xu Ye found a machinery processing factory and asked them to help him with the processing.

After processing, Xu Ye took the parts back to the village.

The subsequent work went very smoothly. He assembled the various components one by one. After several days and nights of hard work, a simple agricultural irrigation pump was finally completed.

Looking at the water pump in front of him, Xu Ye's heart was filled with joy and pride.

He couldn't wait to test the performance of the pump.

He called Jiang Ruyue, Gu Yun and Li Qing and asked them to help move the pump to the river.

Then he put the water inlet pipe of the pump into the river and started the pump. With the roar of the pump, the river water was sucked into the pump body and then sprayed out from the outlet pipe.

Looking at the gushing water, Xu Ye, Jiang Ruyue and others cheered excitedly.

"Success, we succeeded!" Xu Ye shouted excitedly.

Jiang Ruyue, Gu Yun and Li Qing also had smiles on their faces and congratulated Xu Ye one after another.

"Xu Ye, you are amazing. You managed to make the water pump so quickly." Jiang Ruyue said, her eyes full of admiration.

Gu Yun also said: "Yes, Xu Ye, you are awesome. With this water pump, it will be much more convenient for the villagers to irrigate their farmland in the future."

Li Qing jumped up happily: "That's great, I don't have to carry water anymore."

Xu Ye smiled and said: "This is just a simple water pump, and there are still many places that need to be improved. But at least now it can meet basic irrigation needs."

Afterwards, Xu Ye brought the water pump to the village’s farmland and demonstrated the functions of the water pump to the villagers.

The villagers were surprised and excited to see that the pumps could easily pump river water into the farmland.

"Xu Ye, where did you get this water pump? It's amazing!" asked a villager.

Xu Ye smiled and replied: "I made this myself. I want to help everyone solve the irrigation problem so that they don't have to work so hard to carry water in the future."

After hearing this, the villagers all gave Xu Ye a thumbs up.

"Xu Ye, you are really a great contributor to our village!"

"Yes, with this pump, our crops will definitely grow better."

"Xu Ye, if you need any help, just ask, we will definitely support you with all our strength."

The villagers really can't help much in this regard.

The reason why Xu Ye did this was actually to show off and let everyone know that he had this ability.

In this way, when I say I want to open a machinery processing factory in the future, people will believe me and support me.

After all, he must take this path.

Otherwise, why would he choose the career of mechanical engineer?
[Congratulations to the host for completing an irrigation pump in the real world and receiving everyone's praise. You will be rewarded with 10 points of mechanical attributes.]

???

Can you do this?

Xu Ye was extremely surprised.

He really didn't expect that the system would reward him for this.

In this case, wouldn't I have to make a new steam engine by hand to change its mechanical properties?
Forget it, Xu Ye felt that this was not a good deal.

After all, he couldn't really rub it by hand, so he still had to rely on the county's machinery factory.

The materials cost money, and the processing fee is also very expensive.

After doing the math, Xu Ye gave up the idea.

My goal has been achieved, and I just need to continue to complete the task.

So he put his mind at rest.

"Captain Xu is indeed a talented person from the capital. He really knows everything. Not only can he hunt and raise livestock, but he can also build houses, make furniture, and build water pumps."

"Yes, Captain Xu is really a genius. It is a blessing for our team that he can come to our team."

"Captain Xu, that girl Ruo An still insists on divorcing you?"

When they heard someone mention Xu Ye and Jiang Ruoan, everyone pricked up their ears.

After all, Xu Ye and Jiang Ruyue have been seen together all the time recently, and everyone feels that they are about to get together.

In addition, many people in the Jiang family were saying that they wanted to bring Xu Ye and Jiang Ruyue together.

In this way, Xu Ye is still the son-in-law of the Jiang family and the son-in-law of Sanxi Village.

Many people in the village still support this.

"Yeah, she refused to come back no matter what. I couldn't persuade her, so I had to give up." As he said that, Xu Ye turned his head and glanced at Jiang Ruyue.

"That's because Ruoan is unlucky. I think Ruyue is a good match for you. Now you two are both single. If you get together, won't you still be the son-in-law of the Jiang family?" Someone took the opportunity to say.

"That's right. Ruyue, I don't know how many people want to marry her. Captain Xu, if you don't pay attention, someone else will get her."

Jiang Ruyue's cheeks were flushed, she lowered her head slightly, and unconsciously tugged at the corner of her clothes in her hands.

At this time, Gu Yun smiled and joked, "Don't make trouble here. Let them deal with their feelings slowly."

Li Qing also echoed: "That's right, but I think Brother Xu Ye and Sister Ruyue are quite a good match."

Li Qing really couldn't find any reason to object to what was going on between the two of them.

She also knew that she had absolutely no conditions to compete.

She is really too young, it is not her turn.

When everyone heard this, they immediately smiled.

Obviously, Xu Ye and Jiang Ruyue must have started talking.

Otherwise, the two people around her wouldn't have said that.

Suddenly, everyone felt at ease.

As long as Xu Ye is still the son-in-law of the Jiang family, he will stay in the Sanxi Brigade and lead everyone to live a good life.

After everyone was settled, an elderly villager stepped forward and said with an earnest look on his face: "Captain Xu, since you can build such a powerful water pump, can you also think about making a generator for our village?"

Hearing his words, the others' eyes lit up.

"Yes, Captain, can you make a generator so that the village can use electricity?"

"Now the village is completely dark at night. If we can have electricity, the children can study well at night, and it will be more convenient for us to work."

The other villagers nodded and echoed in unison, their eyes full of longing for light.

Xu Ye looked at everyone's eager eyes and couldn't help but say, "To be honest, I have also been researching generators."

"I believe it won't be long before I can build one for everyone."

When everyone heard Xu Ye say this, they cheered.

After all, everyone has longed for electricity.

But before that, they all knew that this kind of thing had nothing to do with the Sanxi Brigade.

Currently, electricity is supplied first to various factories in the county.

Industry is the most important thing today. Only with industry can the country develop, life improve and there is a chance to provide electricity to rural areas.

But now, Xu Ye ignited their desire and gave them hope.

If we can build a water pump, then building a generator shouldn’t be a problem, right?
