Alfonso, Trika and Jiadi, who looked to be only 12 years old, stood in front of Polu under the leadership of Candice. Speaking of which, since they came here, they have never talked to Polu face to face like this, although
Trika dared to choke Polu last time, but now her anger has calmed down and her life has returned to normal. Now that she suddenly heard that she was going to see her boss, she couldn't help but feel a little timid. Although it was not as fearful as a slave owner, a commoner would see it.
There is still something inevitable about the aristocratic mentality.
"Alfonso, what are you boys doing? You are older than Jia Di, so why doesn't anyone do it well?" Polu knocked on the table.
"He, they, were captured in the slave camp for too long, and they can't even read. It's a bit difficult to learn." The shadow left by the slave life made him suddenly nervous. Alfonso raised his head nervously.
Start answering.
Polu was stunned: "So how are you doing with your literacy skills now?"
"Teacher Caroline has been teaching us, and now everyone can at least understand the design drawings you wrote to us." Alfonso breathed a sigh of relief without being dragged out and beaten up, and his expression gradually relaxed.
"Forget it, go back and tell them, study hard, there will be a lot of work for you in the future. As long as you do well, regain your freedom and terminate the contract, it won't be a problem at all!"
Polu pulled the three people in front of him: "From now on, you will follow Candice after your literacy class every day. Wherever she goes, you will go. She will take you to my construction site. It's time to teach you something else."
Already."
Soon, a group of five people came to the construction site where the foundation had been dug. Polu, who felt that the reinforced concrete building might have to delay the construction, decided to build enough houses first according to another building form in his memory. After all,
If this continues, it won't be a problem for so many people to sleep in shacks all the time.
Bolu glanced at their clothes and frowned: "Where did you get all these clothes? Candice, take them to the Knights at night and ask them for some tight clothes. This is what I wear.
, it’s too inconvenient for them. Read more, take more notes, and if you have any questions, write them down and ask me in the evening.”
The tractor pulled a large amount of waste bricks and rubble and poured it into the foundation pit. A layer of clay was placed at every interval. The workers drove a machine. At first glance, the machine looked like a tractor, but there was a three-meter-high tower in front of it.
Wheeled Stand, Huge Tablet
The steam-driven semi-open gear drove the ramming hammer to the top of the bracket, and then the thick chain pulled it up to the top of the support, and then fell heavily to the ground. The machine moved forward while beating the ground. A group of people were watching the working scene of the tamping machine, making enthusiastic cheers.
Cheers.
This machine was a collaboration between Case and Smith. Polu just provided an idea. The old blacksmiths were already very capable, but now they have new tools and are having a lot of fun. After some research, they put another
A driving system was installed on the tractor. This machine was originally designed for railway roadbeds. Unexpectedly, it was very easy to make. They made several machines at once. This machine can realize the magical scene of mechanized rammed earth.
It's also the first time I've seen it.
Watching the steam machinery blowing out white smoke while pounding the soil, Bolu's heart was not only unmoved, he even wanted to laugh. But nowadays, with the increase and miniaturization of steam machinery, river water sedimentation and filtration alone can no longer supply such a supply.
The water consumption of many machines has increased. Either build a soft water factory quickly or build a condenser to collect steam for recycling. After estimating the weight of the condenser, Polu thought that it is better to bring a water tank like a fuel tank?
As for the soft water factory, Polu currently has no chemical raw materials except plant ash. It can only physically soften and distill it! If this is not possible, boiled water can also be added to the boiler. Hot water can be provided for drinking and bathing in the accommodation area. In the river
Bathing while taking a bath is not a long-term solution. Because it has so many uses, it is a bit unclear whether this factory produces distilled water or is just a simple boiler factory.
Polu was distracted while watching the tractors approaching from a distance. Now the three new tractors built by Case were running on the road to pull back the limestone. Soon, these limestones will be turned into cement and put into construction everywhere.
.
By the way, after promising to equip all knights with shotguns, the real Leonardo betrayed his knights again. Recently, their training method has changed to breaking down limestone walls with bare hands. I heard that because
Wildly squeezing the last trace of fighting spirit from the body, the training effect is quite good. Several people have already broken through. It has fulfilled Leonardo's lies. Now the low-level knights are so energetic that they line up to run 20 kilometers every day.
, and then he hammered hard at the rock wall with passion, causing the ground to shake and gravel to fly. The style of the painting has become that of an extraordinary mining team.
After looking at the ramming machine for a while and appraising the progress, Bolu came to the foot of the blast furnace again. Today is the day to install the water-cooled wall. According to Bolu's vague impression and the results of the experiment, the speed at which the blast furnace burns out the bricks
It’s too fast. If you don’t want to stop the furnace every three days to repair bricks, or even burn through the furnace wall and leak molten iron, the only option is to choose water cooling for bricklaying. Nowadays, we are not the little ones who can survive by relying on natural heat dissipation.
The stove is up.
This was the first time for Candice and the others to see this terrifying, oppressive steel structure. They were like cats being grabbed by the neck, staring blankly at the huge furnace body, saying nothing but Wucao.
come out.
The cast iron water-cooling fins that had been cast were transported to the construction site. These things that looked like radiators were densely installed on the brackets inside the steel shell, and then connected to the steel water pipes. Geola was experimenting repeatedly.
After more than 100 attempts, we finally succeeded in manufacturing a hot-rolled seamless steel pipe with central cooling and demoulding capabilities. Although it is only a small-diameter steel pipe, it cannot withstand much pressure and its length is also very short. It can even only be made as small as a workshop.
Mass production, but this is another milestone achievement!
The giant water-cooled magic fire control panel was also installed in the furnace. The intricate cooling water pipes were welded together. Each section protruded from the furnace shell and hung in a neat line from the top. It was full of machinery.
A unique sense of order and beauty.
"Alfonso, follow me, we will go up and check the installation."
After spending another day checking all the components, Polu finally nodded and said to Geola: "Okay, the water pipes can be welded, and the furnace can start laying bricks. I will bring you the welding machines tomorrow.
"
From this day on, Polu fell into a state of anxiety and could not concentrate on anything else. The huge pressure made it impossible for him to sleep. He sat on the construction site in a daze every day, and no one could persuade him.
He asked people to set up huge lights to brightly illuminate the construction site, and arranged three shifts of work. He watched the workers install refractory bricks and apply thick layers of clay bricks on the bottom of the furnace. Watching
They closed the furnace shell and installed the taphole and slag outlet. They watched the loading conveyor belt supported by steel beams rise. They watched them build a circulating cooling pool and watched the tall cooling water storage tank be installed on the top of the conveyor belt.
On my head, I watched the graded water pumping station being built. Because the centrifugal pump has not yet been completed, there is no hope of pumping cooling water from the bottom up. I can only lift it graded and then rely on gravity to change the water.
His voice was hoarse, his hair was disheveled, his eyes were red, and he was walking around with his hands behind his back. Alfonso was busy beside him. If he did something wrong at this time, it would be easy for him to scold him. Fortunately, Boru would not do anything.
Beat people. He watched Candice and her people install four groups of four giant energy-concentrating panels on the side. He saw thick
The hard crystal steel sheathed cables were installed on the magic control panel. The slag cement was poured into the wooden formwork of the sleepers on which the steel bars were placed. The wooden formwork was knocked down, the sleepers were buried in the ground, and the rails were nailed to the sleepers.
Huge molten ladles with a diameter of two meters and a person's height were pushed in along the rails and lined up in a row under the taphole.
He saw the angle steel support plan he designed temporarily being manufactured, and huge cement columns rising from the ground. He saw the steel beams being welded together to form a huge triangular slope, and large steel plates were laid on the ribs of the roof.
on the street, waiting for cement to be poured. These scenes seemed very long, and recalling them was extremely short. The confused sense of time made Polu dizzy.
Later, when he took a nap in the work shed, he had all kinds of bizarre dreams. In the dream, he seemed to have returned to his hometown, the continuous chimneys of Red Steel City, the roaring noise, and the raging river.
, wide bridge. and , high frequency
The stack of papers that appeared for the first time was fucked! Polu woke up in a cold sweat. He wiped the sticky sweat on his face, "Did I just have a comeback? A revolving door? If I keep going through it like this, am I going to have to do it?
Died suddenly?" Polu asked himself.
"Polu, Polu! We're done, we're done!" Smith and Goola, who looked haggard, also had stubble on their faces, sunken eye sockets, and stains from unknown sources on their bodies. The corners of their eyes were full of stains.
Trembling: "We're done! We've cross-checked, the entire design of the stove, and the supporting equipment of the stove itself, and we're done!"
"Done, done?" Polu, who was already in a daze, couldn't believe his ears.
"Finally, Mu Qing is done?" His temples were pounding, and his blood pressure was so high that he felt like his eyes were about to pop out.
"It's really done!" The tone of the two of them was as ethereal as if they were about to pass away.
"Damn, this world is so cruel!" Bolu, who was completely relaxed and fell into a sage state, didn't want to move at all.
"You guys should take a break, we won't work today! Everyone go home! Have a good sleep. We will check it again tomorrow. Make sure there is no problem and then turn it on again!"
