"Smith! How is the tractor?" When Polu walked into the small square, he saw Smith and several other blacksmiths with happy faces.
"I think there's no problem this time!" Smith waved: "Keith's welding skills are getting better and better now! There's no air leakage this time!"
Because the welding circle was made into a magic tool by Lang Dao, who disliked Polu's lack of mana and too slow welding speed, the welding of the tractor could be completely left to the blacksmiths. After the first tractor started running, Polu
Leave the tools here and let them try welding by themselves. After all, these things will have to be produced by themselves sooner or later.
Smith gathered together a few relatively experienced middle-aged blacksmiths he knew who had made complex machinery and formed a production team. During the production process, in order to get rid of their dependence on plastic spells, they also made many things.
For example, there are machines used to bend steel plates to a specific arc, machines used to open gears, and even detachable supports for fixing welding workpieces. We also hired a person from Goola to do casting, and he went back and forth.
After doing it many times, they finally succeeded in producing the first tractor without letting Polu and Landau get their hands on it.
However, production does not necessarily mean that it is easy to use. When the boiler was first produced, it leaked when the pressure was high. Fortunately, the leakage was too severe and the pressure did not build up. The boiler did not explode, which was a blessing in disguise. They studied for a long time and reworked many times.
After that, the problem of welding strength was finally solved. Now, except for the energy supply part, the production process can be completely produced by themselves.
During this process, Polu often came to see their progress, and had to endure the urge to solve the problem quickly, living like a boss. If he couldn't stand it, he couldn't do it, but he just helped them design and manufacture some tools to facilitate production. So.
When this tractor, which was almost entirely made by mortals, successfully started and the flywheel started spinning, Smith, Case, and several blacksmiths, including Polu, all had tears in their eyes. It was not easy, although it was very interesting to do,
But the hard work of these dozens of days and nights can be seen from the blacksmiths' receding hairlines.
"It finally worked!" Smith, who has been living and eating here recently and has not even gone back to see his wife who helps in the cafeteria, exclaimed in a sigh that was almost relieved.
"I didn't expect that we could produce such complex machinery!" Case, who had only made water well winches before, was also delighted.
"How's it going? Do you feel like you're so powerful, but now you're so swollen?" Polu put his arm around Smith's shoulders. After getting along with each other for this period of time, everyone has become very familiar with each other, and everyone will talk about it when doing it.
It’s clear what style the joke is. It’s even clear what the four routes Tara’s cat will take when it goes to the next door house to steal the sausage hanging in the yard.
"I don't know if it's swollen or not, but my head is really swollen and about to explode." Smith touched his increasingly shiny bald head.
"You guys give it a name."
"Isn't it called a tractor?"
"Tractors are types. You can give this model of tractor a model name." Polu was happy and gave up the right to name with a wave of his hand.
"But we don't know how to give names, and we don't have much culture."
"It's okay, you can just call it whatever you think it looks like." Bolu followed suit.
The other blacksmiths, who were becoming increasingly sparse, looked at each other and then looked back at Smith.
"We have talked about this issue before. Because it is strong and moves slowly, we are going to call it Iron Bull."
"..."
Bolu's eyes were dull and he looked at them expressionlessly. Should we say that working people have the same taste in naming? If it weren't for the shame of going back on his name, Bolu even wished that he had never had such thoughts!
"As long as you are sure." When Bolu turned around, he couldn't help but show a black question mark face. He took a deep breath, tried hard to control the expression on his face, and forced out a harmonious smile.
"Then it will be called the Iron...Niu-1 type from now on! This is machine No. 001! Let's all go back to rest today. We will have a day off tomorrow. We will come back the day after tomorrow to try the machine, run it, and then summarize it, and then start continuous production.
! It just so happens that I have to go out for the next two days. By the way! Smith, remember to go to Irene to collect the bonus! 10 gold coins for each person." The test machine cannot be numbered from 0 to avoid running wild or exploding.
10 gold coins is almost half a year's salary for the blacksmiths, and it can be used to pay bonuses. It can make them happy for a while, but they will not resign and run away because of the sudden wealth. After all, they are still free citizens.
.
Nowadays, Hongshan is full of waste, and Polu is following several projects at the same time. For a while, he just feels that he is too busy to do anything, so that going to the studio every day to watch the young apprentices doing handicrafts after studying has become a kind of leisure pleasure.
Caroline, Candice and the young apprentices are very
Happy. While reading a book, I can answer questions and replenish the stock of injection rods while reading. Because he basically rushes back and forth to various construction sites during the day, the planning time has to be arranged in the evening, and for a while, the shadow of the injection rod is filled with energy.
looming over my head again.
The next day, Polu and Landau followed a rugged path extending on the plain and arrived at the foot of a mountain arched in the direction of the central mountain range more than 20 kilometers east of Red Mountain. They came here because of the Tezier Belt.
While walking around and training with the scout team, he discovered what Poru asked him to pay attention to.
A kind of gray stone. Although this thing is not uncommon, according to Tezier, there are so many such stones in the mountains and fields here. This place is still the territory of the royal family and there are more than 40 kilometers to the north.
A small river, this small river is the natural dividing line between the royal territory and the Bashkorto territory.
"Well, it's that mountain, look at it." Tezier pointed to the endless gray mountain cliff in the distance. The rain has eroded various colors and traces on it, creating a lush scene.
"It looks very similar, but it's too far away. We won't know until we get closer."
Landau and Polu came to the foot of the mountain. Landau cast a spell again, and blue light shot out from his eyes. He nodded: "Yes, it's limestone." He shook his hands and put a layer on his hands.
The stream of magic power gently touched a complete big stone, and just grabbed it hard. With a soft click, Landau pulled out a round stone pillar from the complete stone, leaving a standard like a drill.
The circular deep hole that comes out.
"Teacher, when will I learn this thing? It looks so easy, just catch it." Hongshan No. 1 Langchui Bolu is online.
"You only have level 1 control. In the past, it was the standard for just getting started. These two skills must be at least advanced before you can learn how to use them." Landau smiled slightly. He pinched off a small piece of stone.
The magic flame surged from his hand and burned. The white powder gradually slipped from his hand.
"OK, no problem." Landau clapped his hands. "This is a very suitable place, let's build here."
"Ah, the mine has started again, and now we are completely short of manpower. There are not even a few farmers in Hongshan, and the population is already concentrated in handicraft workshops. How about I ask little Irene to go outside and find some people for us?
bring it on?"
"I think it's okay, or you can think of ways to improve production efficiency."
Now that you are ready to open the cement technology tree, transportation has become a major problem. Whether it is bringing limestone back to Hongshan from the mining area, or preparing cement products on the spot, as long as they are put into batches, they are extremely heavy things.
It is completely impossible to build a dirt road and transport it by horse-drawn carriage for a long time. There is no water transportation here, so rail transportation has become urgent and has to be put on the agenda.
After walking around a lot, Polu started writing something in his little notebook. Landau handed him a scroll: "This is our previous production method. Two people can do it, and the output is
Relying on manpower, I have to say that the efficiency is indeed a bit poor. Let’s see what you think.”
Bolu unfolded the scroll and only glanced at it. The hand holding the scroll trembled slightly.
Although he was mentally prepared, this simple method was too crude. Poru looked at Landau and found it hard to believe that the gap between the upper and lower levels of productivity in this world was so big. The teacher could pull out stone pillars from the limestone with his bare hands.
Come, you can knead it into lime on the spot. The production method is roughly recorded on the scroll, which basically means: smash the stone, burn it, then grind it into powder, mix it with clay, and then burn it, and finally it can be used.
"This is not as good as what I know!" Polu pinched his forehead: "Teacher, isn't this method too simple?"
"It is indeed very simple. There is no way. It has not been developed for so many years and no one has made it for a long time. I searched for this thing for a long time before I found it. The point is this ratio. Now it seems that it has passed the test of time.
Yes, it's not bad, I think we can continue to use it." Landau clicked on a few numbers on the scroll.
"That's pretty good. We'll stick to this ratio. Then we'll bring the equipment over tomorrow and prepare to start construction. If the mortar here doesn't come out for a day, my house won't be able to be repaired in a day!" As he said that, Bo
Lu wrote down this ingredient ratio in his little notebook.
