The canyon has always received great attention from Zhao Hai. It was determined by Zhao Hai as the most stable rear base besides space.
The terrain of the mountain gorge is very hidden, and the mountains on all sides block the cold wind. It is not difficult to add water sources. There are also two ways to communicate with the outside, water and land. It can be said to be very convenient and more suitable for human habitation.
Zhao Hai believed that he would have more and more subordinates in the future, and with the size of the black soil wasteland, as long as he had the strength, he could build a small principality here. With more people, it would be impossible for them all to live in Tieshan Castle.
Those people still have to branch out to build villages.
However, before he had enough strength to build a country, Zhao Hai could only build a small village here in the canyon as a pilot to see what problems needed to be improved, so as to facilitate the establishment of larger villages in the future.
However, the land in the canyon has not been truly improved yet, and it is not time to build a village yet. Zhao Hai just has such an idea now.
Three days passed quickly. Zhao Hai and the others were almost ready here. Now they were waiting for Laura and the others to deliver the oil press, and then Green could go to Casa City.
At noon on the third day, the Majidel family's motorcade arrived at the foot of the Rock Mountain. This time Laura did not come forward, it was Green who did. They also did not let the Makkidal family go to the Rock Mountain.
He hitched up the five carriages that Green had bought on the mountain, sent the radishes down the mountain, and then pulled the oil press that Laura helped buy onto the carriage.
In addition to these five oil presses, the Machidel family also gave Green two hundred gold coins and a set of books. This set of books is a complete encyclopedia of animals and plants on the mainland, written by an alchemist from the mainland.
Yes, this set of books is a gift from Laura to Zhao Hai.
Last time, Zhao Hai told Laura that he had some research on plants and was planning to open a ranch. Laura originally wanted to form an alliance with Zhao Hai. Of course she would not let go of such an opportunity, so she bought it.
This set of books was given to Zhao Hai.
This set of books is rare on the mainland. In order to write this book, the alchemist spent twenty years collecting a large amount of information about the animals and plants on the mainland, and visited many alchemists and alchemists.
, and finally I went to many places by myself to study those animals and plants, and finally wrote this set of books.
Because this set of books is not a magic book, there are not many printed ones. Generally, only some alchemists or alchemists have a set of them.
In addition to giving 10,000 catties of radishes to the people of the Majidel family, Zhao Hai and the others also gave 110 fire ding fish. These were what Zhao Hai promised to Laura. The extra ten fire ding fish were from Zhao Hai.
A gift from the sea to Laura.
The oil presses that Laura sent to Zhao Hai were not very large. The top five oil presses only took five carriages to load. They could just load the radishes when they returned.
Green didn't waste any time and pulled the five oil presses to the mountain. He didn't unload the oil presses when they got to the mountain, and then asked Zhao Hai to put the carriages into the space.
The arrival of these oil presses was beyond Zhao Hai's expectation. There is an instruction manual to guide you on how to arrange the oil press. This really made Zhao Hai feel very puzzled. He really didn't understand what the Ark Continent is now.
what's the situation.
Let's say there is no science here. Their alchemy and alchemy are somewhat related to science. Let's say there is no machine civilization here. Oil presses like this are also very sophisticated in design. It cannot be regarded as having no science at all. Moreover, there are also
There is magic and fighting spirit that are not found on earth, so Zhao Hai really doesn't know what to say.
After receiving the oil press and 200 gold coins, Zhao Hai and the others went directly to Tieshan Fort and installed the oil press in the packed warehouses.
The design of this oil press is really good. It is more than three meters high in total. The top is a feeding barrel, which is very large. The lower part is something like a millstone. There is a long rod on the outside.
Put on the Magic Beast and pull it. There is an oil outlet at the bottom. This oil outlet can be pulled out with a pipe. The oil can be discharged directly from here. There is also an oil residue outlet.
It seems very simple, but the battlefield area of the entire machine exceeds twenty square meters, and the volume is not small anymore. However, the oil press can be disassembled and divided into several parts. Otherwise, a carriage would be
Can't pull it down.
Zhao Hai took a look and found that the feeding port was too high from the ground. If you wanted to add materials, there were only two ways. One was to put some boards next to the feeding port to form a slope, and people could directly
Push the trolley to the feeding port for feeding. Another way is to use a conveyor belt.
Using a conveyor belt is a relatively easy way. You can directly load the oil fruits onto the conveyor belt from below, and then send them to the feeding port through the conveyor belt.
This kind of oil press does not have any conveyor belt designed. I am afraid that no one on this continent will use this thing. This conveyor belt was used by Zhao Hai in some grain depots he saw on the earth, so he thought of it.
The method of building boards is commonly used on this continent. Some people just dig a big hole in the ground and put the oil press in the hole, so that the material can be added on the ground. However, after discharging the material,
Zhao Hai did not want to use this method. In that case, he would have to dig a hole in the castle. That would not be an easy task. The ground here in the castle was all made of stone.
If you want to dig a hole, you will have to dig out all the rocks. In that case, you may even have to demolish the house.
Zhao Hai still wants to make a conveyor belt. It is not difficult to make a conveyor belt, and the required power can be obtained directly from the oil press. However, it requires some modifications.
Fortunately, the whole body of this oil press is made of metal. If you want to modify it, you only need to add some metal parts to it.
But now the problem arises. Among Zhao Hai and his group, none of them know how to be a blacksmith. If he really wants to make a conveyor belt, he has to find a blacksmith, and the blacksmith's ability cannot be too high.
weak.
Zhao Hai only found out after asking Green and the others that although there are many machines on the mainland that can use magic crystals as power, simple machines like this that can only squeeze fruit oil are really not worthy.
If he uses magic crystal as power, he may not be able to buy the magic crystal for the money he sells for the squeezed oil, so this kind of machine is usually only designed to be water-powered, wind-powered or animal-powered.
Since there is no way to make a conveyor belt, they can only build boards. Fortunately, they have no shortage of boards now, but they do not have a cart to transport oil nuts, nor do they have wooden barrels, so Green has to go to Casa City to buy them.
Green also knew about this situation, and he immediately left for Casa City, while Zhao Hai began to build boards for these oil presses in Tieshanbao, and also prepared a place for washing oil fruits. Fortunately, they
The water source in the city is very convenient. Zhao Hai was directly outside these oil pressing plants and asked An and the others to build a huge stone pool to wash the oil fruits and then transport the oil fruits to the house.
It is sent to the oil press through the erected board.
The water in that pool is always flowing, so there is no need to change the water. The small hairs on the oil fruit can also become fish food if they flow into the moat.
However, Zhao Hai also calculated that an oil press requires at least one person to add materials, and one person to watch the oil and oil residue. If the people who clean the oil are also included, then at least four people are needed, five machines.
The oil press requires at least twenty people to complete.
Zhao Hai is not worried about manpower. Zhao Hai does not want to use slaves to work in this kind of oil pressing plant, because this kind of oil pressing plant needs to work 24 hours a day. If all those slaves are used, it will take at least three
Shift, that is to say, if those slaves are used, at least 60 people are needed to ensure the normal operation of the oil pressing plant. Zhao Hai currently has more than 100 people in total, and 60 people are transferred to do this oil pressing at once.
It was obviously impossible to build an oil mill, so Zhao Hai decided to use undead creatures to build this oil mill.
Twenty human-shaped undead creatures were responsible for feeding and extracting oil, but Zhao Haida wanted to use scaly wildebeest to pull the oil extraction force.
It's not that Zhao Hai doesn't want to use other undead creatures to replace the scaly wildebeest, but that there are no suitable ones. The undead creatures he collected last time all came out of the carrion swamp. Not only are they huge in size, but these undead creatures are also
They are not suitable for pulling things. The force to push this kind of oil press does not need to be too big, but it must be stable. It is naturally impossible for someone with a huge body like the alien to pull the oil press, like that big rat.
For the smaller ones, their forward speed was not stable, and there was no other way. So in the end, Zhao Hai still wanted to use scaly wildebeest to pull the oil press.
Zhao Hai doesn't have many adult scaly wildebeests in his hands now, but they are enough. Zhao Hai has already planned. If it doesn't work, he will kill a few scaly wildebeests and then turn these few scaly wildebeests into immortals.
Biology, this problem is solved.
Everything is ready here in Zhao Hai. They just need to wait for Green to buy back all the things they need to use, and then they can officially start work.
The opening of the oil pressing plant is not a trivial matter. As long as the oil pressing plant is started, they can get another stable source of income. At the same time, they will have high-quality feed such as oil residue, and their rabbit farm can also be used.
Once it is established, they will have another stable source of income, which is really important to the Buda family now.
