The two of them walked around the mining area for a day and found several piles of other salt mines. Ye Fu marked them and asked everyone to come in and work together, gathering all the salt mines together and refining them together.
The next day, Jiang Rong went to the office building and got 200 poles, 10 rolls of wires and 800 street lights from Cheng Lin.
Before erecting the telephone poles, a one-meter-deep hole was needed, so Jiang Run asked Cheng Lin to get a ground drilling machine.
During dinner in the evening, Ye Fu informed everyone about the erection of telephone poles.
"Will it consume a lot of electricity? If we rely on generators and gasoline to drive the street lights in the entire mining area, a lot of gasoline will be used in an hour." Although there is a lot of gasoline stored in the space, everyone is still reluctant to waste it.
Ye Fu smiled and said, "You can set up a power switch to turn on the lights when needed and turn them off when not lighting. The street lights do not consume electricity. We can build a power-generating water tanker downstream of the river in the planting area and connect it directly to the mining area.
I can do the circuits, it won't take much trouble."
Although there is day and night in space, there is no wind, otherwise wind power could be generated.
"Tomorrow we will measure the spacing first. Telephone poles will be erected every 100 meters, because four street lights can be installed on one pole. The bulbs have a large wattage and are very bright even 100 meters apart."
Ye Fu took out a piece of paper and drew the arrangement of the telephone poles. "Jiang Run used the ground drill to dig holes. Fang Ming, Qi Yuan and Wu Pei were responsible for burying the telephone poles. Tang Yizheng and Brother Song installed the street lights. The others were with me.
Connect the wire."
"It is estimated that these two hundred telephone poles will need to be buried for two to three months, and the cotton will be ready for picking in two to three months."
"Experts from the base said that the sun is going to come out. It's been half a month, and there's only one and a half months left. Let's make a bet. I bet that the sun won't come out." Qi Yuan held the tea cup with a look of victory.
"It seems you lost the last bet." Ye Fu poured cold water on him without mercy.
Qi Yuan was a little embarrassed, "Really? I don't remember."
"I've been cleaning the toilets for a month, don't you remember?"
"Ahem, remember, I will definitely not lose this time. I just think the sun is going to come out early. I don't believe these experts who only talk nonsense can tell the time when the sun will come out. I might as well believe them.
The fortune teller under the overpass."
Qi Yuan looked at the others, "Do you want to place a bet?"
"What's the bet?" Fang Ming's eyes filled with gloating at the thought of cheating Qi Yuan, "Or cleaning the toilet?"
Qi Yuan rolled his eyes, "Are you disgusted? My bet is out-of-print banknotes. If I lose, these will be given to you."
Qi Yuan slowly took out a stack of banknotes from his coat pocket. They had various denominations and were all brand new.
"Do you want it? This is out of print and very collectible."
Qi Yuan was very angry. These banknotes were taken from Shen Li. Shen Li said that after the end of the world, all banknotes in northern Xinjiang were transferred here. At that time, everyone thought that the disaster would not last long and banknotes were national property.
, nature must be protected, but I didn’t expect that this protection would last for ten years.
"Xuxu, An'an, you two have never seen banknotes, have you? Wenwen probably hasn't seen it either. She was only two and a half years old when the apocalypse broke out. You three don't want it?"
Wenwen said with a cold face, "Uncle Qi Yuan, I will take it if you give it to me, but I won't bet. Gambling is harmful to health, and we can't lose our minds by playing with things."
Qi Yuan was choked by Wenwen's words. He took out a red note and handed it to Wenwen.
"One hundred yuan, don't you want it?"
A glimmer of desire flashed in Wenwen's eyes, who doesn't want a banknote as a souvenir, but Qi Yuan was too in need of a beating, and Wenwen didn't want it.
"Uncle Qi Yuan, I only want it if you give it to me sincerely. If you ask me to make a bet, I won't want it."
"Wenwen, there is a difference between betting and gambling."
Wenwen looked at the banknotes in his hand and said, "Betting is gambling, and gambling can be addictive."
Qi Yuan surrendered, "Okay, I won't bet anymore. I was convinced by you. In fact, even if I don't bet, I will share the money with everyone, one hundred, fifty, twenty, ten yuan, five yuan, one yuan, fifty cents."
, one dime each." Qi Yuan divided the banknotes and gave them to the three younger ones.
"No one is over eighteen years old." Qi Yuan took the remaining money back into his pocket.
"Come on, let's make a bet." Tang Yizheng took a pistol from his pocket.
"I bet the sun will come out in six months."
"Didn't you say you won't bet?" Qi Yuan was so angry that his voice broke.
"Did we clearly say no bets?" Tang Yizheng shrugged.
"I bet for five months." Fang Ming also took out an exquisite dagger from the back of his waist.
"I bet for one year." Officer Song took out a pink pearl.
"Brother Song, where did you get the pearl?"
"When we were at sea, we had to cast a net to catch fish every day. One day I picked up two pearl clams. After opening them, there were two pink pearls inside. One was given to Wenwen, and I kept the other for my trip to the sea.
Souvenirs.”
Even Brother Song participated, and Wan Tao and Liu Zhang couldn't help but join in the fun.
Ye Fu and Jiang Run bet for five months. Only Xuxu in the audience believed that the sun would definitely rise within two months, and she was the only one who opposed Qi Yuan.
"Xuxu, you are very confident."
Xuxu puffed up her round belly and said, "The little bird said that the sun will come out soon and you will lose."
When Ye Fu heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, "It seems that we are all going to lose."
"Ye Fu, why did you give in so quickly?"
Seeing Xuxu swaying soaring to the sky, Ye Fu was in a good mood, "Sometimes, we have to listen more to the children. These trophies are put in this box. Whoever wins the bet will own these.
.”
Ye Fu sealed the box with tape, "I hope to open the box soon."
"I will definitely win. The bird said that the sun will come back to us soon. They will not lie to me." Xuxu looked serious.
"Xuxu, aunt believes what you said."
Xuxu was very excited, "Auntie, do you really believe me?"
"of course."
Xuxu glanced at the box and said, "When I win the trophy, I will give half to my aunt. I won't give it to the others because they won't believe me."
"Okay, thank you Xuxu."
"You're welcome."
The bet came to an end, and everyone got busy again the next day.
After measuring the distance, Jiang Run drove the ground drilling machine and started drilling at the marked circle. When the hole was dug, others buried the poles in the hole. Ye Fu set up the ladder and put on a safety helmet.
and gloves. After she climbed up, the people below handed her the cross arm and the hoop, installed the cross arm and the hoop, and finally pulled the wire up, and a telephone pole was completed.
"Ye Fu, let's switch. This job is too tiring." Fang Wei put the screws and tool kit on the ground into the tricycle. Seeing Ye Fu sweating profusely, she quickly handed over a pack of tissues.
"Okay, but I'm not tired yet. Let's change people when I lose strength."
