Speculation Method, Perfect Tofu Block!
Geng Jun saw Chen Ming's thoughtful look and asked curiously,""What's wrong with you?"
"Haven't we always been unable to fold our blankets?" Chen Ming smiled at him and said.”
Geng Jun walked over and nodded with a puzzled expression."What, you have a way?"
"I have an idea. We can fold our blankets into the standard tofu blocks like the class monitor's."”
Their blankets could be folded together, but they were still far from the standard that Squad Leader Miao had given them.
He had originally wanted to ask Matthew to tell him if there were any tricks.
Chen Ming knew the crux of the problem.
It was because the new recruits 'quilts were all new.
The cotton was not compressed, and the blanket was fluffy. No matter how hard he folded it, it was difficult to fold it into a tofu block like the class monitor.
After all, the class monitor's blanket had become hard after sleeping for many years. Naturally, it was easy to fold.
This question had troubled Chen Ming for two days.
But now, he had an idea.
Geng Jun frowned and asked,"What method?" Wetting it with water? This won't do!"
"Drenching the blanket with water can make the cotton of the new blanket firm and easier to fold, but the class monitor saw it immediately.”
"Besides, we're in the border area. The temperature difference between day and night here is huge. It's so cold at night. How can we bear to sleep with a wet blanket?”
As a disciple of the quad, Geng Jun had heard of some crooked tricks to quickly fold a new blanket.
For example, he would wet the blanket with water before folding it. However, this method was strictly prohibited by the class monitor.
In addition, the temperature in the border area at night could drop to zero degrees.
On such a cold night, who would dare to sleep with a wet blanket? Wouldn't they freeze to death?
Faced with Geng Jun's doubts, Chen Ming shook his head and said,""Of course not. Have you heard of vacuum compression bags?”
Geng Jun was stunned for a moment before he nodded.
" We can use the tools we have in the warehouse to make a simple vacuum compression bag," Chen Ming continued.”
"Put the blanket into a compression bag and suck out the air to compress it.”
Geng Jun was stunned.”
"Of course." Chen Ming grinned.
Geng Jun blinked.”
"Watch!"
Then, Chen Ming took out a large plastic bag from the warehouse.
He instructed Geng Jun to take a roll of super glue paper and an air pump.
He also found an empty bottle and cut off the mouth of the bottle with a knife.
The two of them took these tools and quickly returned to the dormitory.
At this moment, there was no one in the dormitory.
The others had been dragged out by the class monitor to practice their military posture, and they were exempted from this training because they were on a business trip.
If Gong Fei and Xiong He knew about this, they would definitely regret it.
After all, they were more willing to work than training.
However, there was no one in the dormitory at this time, so it was convenient for Chen Ming to test if his vacuum compression method was effective.
Chen Ming put the folded blanket into a plastic bag.
He sealed all the openings of the plastic bag with tape.
Then, he stuffed the cut bottle into a plastic bag to form the only air outlet.
Finally, he fixed the air pump to the mouth of the bottle and inhaled sharply.
"Pfft-"
The entire plastic bag quickly deflated. All the air was sucked dry, and the fluffy blanket inside slowly solidified.
Under Geng Jun's curious gaze, Chen Ming pressed the pump and waited for a few minutes before releasing the gas.
The plastic bag was also loosened. At this time, he tore off the tape and took out the blanket.
Chen Ming and Geng Jun both pinched it.
Geng Jun was pleasantly surprised.”
With the pressure from the vacuum bag, the soft and bloated blanket became much more solid.
He compressed it again and again. If he didn't fold it, it would look like a piece of old tofu.
"Come, take your blanket and try again.”
Chen Ming smiled and said to Geng Jun.
Geng Jun hurriedly took his blanket and chuckled."You still have a way."
"Thanks to the platoon leader who asked us to go on a business trip, I found those tools and thought of it.”
Chen Ming shook his head and followed the same method to compress Geng Jun's blanket.
As a result, their blankets were obviously stiff, not much different from the class monitor's old blanket.
Geng Jun took the blanket and began to fold it according to the precise impressions.
This solid blanket was different. It was hard and thin, like an iron plate.
After a few folds, a square was formed. As long as the lines were pinched out, it would be a complete piece of tofu.
Chen Ming was also trying to figure out what was going on.
As the saying went," three parts on top of seven parts," he slowly trimmed the blanket to perfection.
Actually, even tofu cubes were divided into perfect and qualified. Squad Leader Miao's old quilt was polished to the extreme.
It could be stacked to more than 90 points in minutes.
The blankets that they had not compressed before could not pass the test no matter how they folded them.
The perfect tofu was the same in length and width, and the absolute standard deviation was no more than one centimeter.
The surface had to be clean and smooth without any wrinkles. Even mosquitoes would slip on it.
Chen Ming and Geng Jun had already folded their blankets into tofu cubes.
It was estimated that they only needed another half an hour to repair their tofu blocks to an infinitely close to perfect state.
"This method is great. It's much more convenient than using a stool to press down…"
Geng Jun exclaimed and asked,"Since it's so convenient, should we make the other people's quilts as well?”
Chen Ming hesitated for a moment before shaking his head and saying,""It's better not to. If everyone's quilt is solid at once, the class monitor will definitely be suspicious and ask us questions.”
"If it was just the two of us who finished the quilt, we could still find an excuse to say that this was the result of us tossing around the quilt this afternoon.”
Geng Jun nodded repeatedly. Chen Ming was the most thoughtful.
Matthew had secretly tricked them last time, so it was their turn to secretly retaliate this time.
"But we can secretly tell this method to the rest of the class."”
"Let them find an opportunity to go to the warehouse to get tools and make their own blankets.”
Geng Jun agreed." Alright, the class monitor will be dumbfounded this time. He hasn't taught us how to press cotton, haha."”
Chen Ming also smiled. Then, they returned the tools to the warehouse.
As long as he was willing to use his brain, there would always be more solutions than problems.
When it was time for dinner, Chen Ming and Geng Jun went to gather for dinner.
They sat down and ate together.
According to the habits of the army, they did not speak while eating.
Gong Fei looked at Chen Ming and Geng Jun with envy. They didn't even need to stand in a military posture on a business trip. Now, they were the whitest in the class.
Geng Jun laughed in his heart. They didn't know that Chen Ming had solved the most difficult task of folding tofu while he was on a business trip.
Chen Ming was very calm. He was thinking about memorizing the regulations as soon as possible.
After dinner, Squad Leader Miao led the team back to the dormitory.
Xiong He was the first to walk into the dormitory. He saw the square and standard blankets on Chen Ming and Geng Jun's beds.
He was instantly stunned on the spot.
