Geola had a happy face and walked in the mine yard in high spirits.
Next to several hill-like piles of ore, he watched a tractor wheeze, steam rushing out of the exhaust pipe, dragging a truck full of ore, and struggling to drive onto a road like
It is the slope of the earth embankment.
A long whistle sounded, and he watched as the workers hid beside the truck body and used big hammers to knock open the iron bolts holding the mine car's baffle.
"boom!"
The baffle was suddenly opened, hitting the wheels with a violent impact. The ore in the mine cart jumped and poured down the slope from the opened baffle.
They slid towards the funnel at the bottom. In the pit below the funnel, several machines were making violent hammering sounds.
Although the ore transported from the mine is more or less crushed and mined, the size is not uniform. So the ore still needs to be crushed again, at least the difference cannot be too big, right?
Even if the potatoes are diced and put into the pot, they still need to be the same size!
These huge machines, the size of a house, are buried in the ground. Whether a stone the size of a chessboard or an egg is dropped into it, it will be smashed to pieces by the strong and strong steel jaws with a crackling sound.
This is his improved crusher!
It would not be so particular if the sponge iron was directly reduced by burning it, but nowadays, furnaces that cannot prepare liquid iron have long been blacklisted by Goola and are no longer looked down upon!
He looked at a large steam engine about the same size as a mining machine, roaring and driving a cast steel gear as big as a tabletop, pulling a conveyor belt composed of corrugated thin iron plates clamped on both sides by chains to discharge the material.
After passing by, he walked to the conveyor belt and took a closer look at the ore that fell on the conveyor belt - maybe it would be more appropriate to call it lump ore now?
"This should be about the same size!"
He looked at it intently for a few minutes. The lumps he passed were about the same size, with the largest being the size of an egg. There were no particularly large lumps that would be difficult to smelt at a glance. This made him smile.
He nodded: "Not bad! It's finally stable this time! Okay, let's not change it! The crusher is like this for the time being! As long as there is no problem, it will not move! You guys are watching, this size is just right now, can't
The particles get bigger again as you run! Come to me if you have any questions!"
The workers showed a little bit of joy, but they did not relax completely, because Geola raised his hand and pointed to where the chain trigger was pointing: "Let's go and see the situation of the conveyor belt."
The iron chain plate machine cannot be bent, at least not now. So if you want to send things to a distance or turn a corner, you can only use some chain plate machines to connect them.
These chain plates are fixed on a chassis equipped with a small steam engine, which looks like an upside down siege ladder truck. The steam engine can not only provide power for the chain plate transmission, but can even move the whole machine slowly!
They walked to an ore waterfall that was flowing downwards, and talked to a worker sitting on the operating table: "Fourth, do you have any questions?"
The worker clicked on the handwheel that was tied to an iron chain:
"I've been trying for several days! The maximum angle I can get is this, and the transmission is smooth and no problem. But if I raise my head again, the ore will slide down."
He leaned half out from the console and pointed at the ore pile in front:
"Either we can only make piles this high, or the machine needs to be longer! The chassis also needs to be longer, otherwise the front end is too long, and when the ore rolls up, the side will warp! But no matter how long it is, it will move
It’s not very convenient to get up.”
Geola didn't speak. He squinted his eyes for a while and watched the ore fall on the top of the pile and then bounce and roll down. He seemed to be planning something. After a while, he spoke:
"Almost! This pile is almost as much as the current small stove can consume in a day! Forget it, don't raise your head, it's just this size. You can just make it according to this size, add a little bit more, and pile as many as you want! Prepare as many as you have!"
"OK!"
The worker operating the conveyor belt suddenly looked happy.
"When we save 10 ore piles, we will be able to open a new furnace. Then the iron will not be so nervous! Thanks everyone, I will treat everyone to meat in the canteen tonight! Come after work!"
The happiness was very direct, and smiles immediately appeared on the workers' faces.
He greeted the workers around him who had been working with him for so many days, strode onto the road littered with ore, and walked towards the town.
The ore dump is on the only way from the mine. Although there is no fence, the tractor drivers who grew up in Red Mountain still have the instinct to follow the rut.
The result is that there is only one road. The mud and gravel on the road have been repeatedly crushed by tractors, squeezed into strips and arched out of the ground, and are now frozen.
"Crunch!"
His feet slipped, and the iron nails on the soles of his shoes and the gravel frozen on the ice made a harsh noise. Geora slipped, opened his arms and swung twice, and cursed in his heart: "This place,
How can it be so cold! Fortunately, the other foot is standing."
Coming from Wenwen Hongshan, he was completely unaccustomed to the weather here. He sniffed, rubbed his hands, and was about to continue walking forward. The feeling of fear made him frown and slow down. He looked at
The wasteland on both sides was simply removed from the road.
As soon as he stepped into the frozen mud on both sides, an iron nail squeezed through the ice and sunk into the ground. The feeling of a very solid bite immediately made him relax. He exhaled, lifted the sole of his foot, and looked at the sole of the shoe.
An iron nail that sticks out like a **.
"The spiked iron-toed shoes made by the little manager are good on mud and sand, and they are not afraid of icy ground. But it is too uncomfortable to walk on the stone road mixed with ice. When can we follow the red shoes?"
The road is paved like a mountain? It’s fine for a tractor to walk on this gravel road, but the squeezed-out mud strips freeze hard and it’s too dangerous for people to walk on!”
It's actually not too far from the mine to the new town. The newly built town was given a strange name by Bolu. Geora silently recited it several times in her mind without remembering: "In the car? What's the ice in the car?"
"
The name was too difficult to remember, and it wasn't until he saw a street sign with the name of the town erected at the entrance of the town that he successfully remembered it.
"Remember! Chelyabinsk!"
"What kind of strange name is this? It's just a meaningless syllable. I asked the young steward but he refused to tell me, so he just smiled secretly."
While thinking about it, he stepped onto the wide street. In his opinion, this street was almost as wide as a square, and it was almost 50 meters wide from one end to the other.
"What's the point of being so wide? There aren't that many people in the town!? Damn it, where am I now? There weren't so many houses a few days ago!?"
Displayed on both sides of the street, the almost identical, gray square houses made him wonder where he was.
"Geola! Why are you dazed here?"
A passing acquaintance saw him standing stunned on the road and simply called him.
"Hey, I can't find the little steward's laboratory! Why have there been so many changes?"
"Ahead, fourth intersection! Then turn left!"
"Is there any mark?"
"No! Why can't you find this!"
"I stayed in the steel factory for a few days, and when I came back, there were exactly the same houses!"
"Hahaha! It was repaired very quickly. It was built with just a few boards. It's habitable, the walls are thick, and it's quite warm. But it's really a bit ugly!"
The man waved and walked away, leaving Geola standing there in a daze. He was about to lift his feet and walk forward according to the directions just now, when he suddenly heard the familiar roar of a steam engine coming from ahead!
This is easy to handle!
I think the one in the town that can run steam engines is Polu's laboratory - when the town was built this time, all the industrial units were arranged far around the town, and the town was simply a place to live.
Although it is a little far away, the feeling is not bad - after all, the noise from the factory was too loud before!
He was looking at the houses on both sides, trying to find some clues from them, when he suddenly noticed that the roar of the steam engine was getting closer and closer?
"What's going on? Aren't tractors not allowed into the town?"
As he was thinking about it, he walked to the corner of the street. Suddenly, a huge black figure rushed into his sight with the sound of a siren!
