There was a clanging sound in the carpenter's house in Jinguan City.
Mao'er, the most skilled carpenter staying here in Jinguan City, is drilling a hole at one end of an extremely smooth wooden stick with an ax in one hand and a chisel in the other.
The wooden stick was extremely solid. Even though Mao Er used one of the few chisels in the tribe, made of meteorite iron, not many wood chips could be chipped off when the chisel went down.
This wooden stick must be strong because it is the external part of the shaft that exists like a waterwheel.
The production technology of Qingque Tribe axles has matured a lot now.
For this reason, Mao Er and the others did not have any difficulty with the waterwheel's shaft.
It's just that an axle that should be used on the ox cart pulley is used here.
However, the axle of the ox cart is still a bit short for this purpose.
So Maoer thought about connecting a section to one end of the axle.
The next section of the shaft is not used to bear load, but is used to rotate with the rotation of the water wheel, thereby driving the movement of the water drum installed below.
Therefore, it is enough to just use wood and it will not be worn out.
After doing this for a while, the elongated hole in the wood was drilled.
In this way, a total of three holes were drilled, and the distance between two adjacent holes was 45 centimeters.
Moreover, these three holes are not on the same line, but are scattered in three different directions of the wooden pillar.
After drilling the three holes, Mao Er reached out and took the small rectangular wooden board that had been cut on the side.
One end of the board is smaller, similar to the size of the hole drilled out.
Putting the small end of the board against the drilled hole, Mao Er picked up the ax and banged it against the board for a while, until the board was firmly fixed to the wooden shaft.
The plank that hit the wooden shaft still had 23 centimeters left on the outside.
Mao Er picked up a similar wooden pillar and used the same technique to nail it firmly into the wooden shaft.
After a while, square wooden posts of the same length, width, and thickness were firmly nailed into these three holes.
Because the three are not on the same line, they look a bit like the mace held by the leader of the Red Tiger Tribe.
After finishing this, Mao Er carefully took it in his hand and inspected it. After seeing that there was nothing wrong with it, he put it down and went to work on other things.
The purpose of this thing is to move the hammer head of the installed water hammer.
A short wooden post stirred one.
In other words, if this water turbine is done well, it can drive three water turbine heads at one time!
The speed of pounding rice with such a tool is naturally not slow...
"Bang, bang, bang..."
Cat Ear, holding a meteorite iron ax in his hand, continued to smash it there.
In front of him was a thick wooden wheel with a diameter of no less than thirty centimeters and a length of forty.
Around this thick wooden wheel, eight lines were evenly divided.
Now, each of these eight lines has been drilled with three holes about one and a half centimeters wide, five centimeters long and six centimeters deep.
What Mao Er holds in his hand is a trapezoidal wooden board with a long and narrow top.
On the narrow side of the board, there are three protrusions corresponding to the holes drilled in the wooden gulu.
After Mao Er aligned it, he took a wooden hammer and hit the end of the board, slowly nailing it in and nailing it firmly.
The reason why a wooden hammer is used at this time instead of a bronze hammer or a harder meteorite ax head is because the board is relatively thin and I am worried that it will be damaged.
Amidst the continuous "bang bang" sound, these eight special wooden boards were gradually smashed in, and finally they were all nailed.
After nailing these eight wooden boards, the thing's appearance changed, and the overall diameter reached one and a half meters!
This thing is the waterwheel used to drive the waterwheel.
After completing the water wheel, Mao Er fixed the water wheel on one end of the bronze shaft with the help of some people.
After fixing it, lift it to the prepared shelf. After finding the position, fix it again.
After finishing these things, Mao Er pulled a leaf of the water wheel with his hand and pushed it down hard (fa, second sound), and the water wheel started to rotate in the air.
Together with the other end of the bronze shaft and the solid wooden stick connected to it, they all began to rotate together.
The rotation effect is quite good.
After turning it several times, Maoer got some large oil and dripped it on the connection between the rotating shaft and the lower shelf.
Then it started to continue turning.
With these large amounts of oil for lubrication, the water wheel rotates obviously much faster.
Seeing this, Mao Er couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.
Then, instead of letting people turn the water wheel, they led people to install the hammer head of the already made water wheel here.
The hammer head of the water dam being installed is more similar to the original water dam being used by the tribe.
They are all shaped like an unbalanced balance beam.
One end is a heavy hammer head, and it is horizontal to the axis of the wood and is relatively close to the hammer head, about one-third of the way to the entire wooden pole.
The other end is an empty wooden pole with nothing on it.
Different from the original water bucket used by the tribe, this wooden pole is relatively light and the relatively long section has not been taken out of the water tank. On the contrary, it has been scraped extremely flat and smooth.
Moreover, the upper part of its highly tilted tail is not flattened, but is deliberately curved downwards.
Three such water buckets have been made now, but now we are just experimenting with this new type of water bucket, so only one has been installed.
The position where the water meter is installed corresponds to the middle one of the three small wooden boards installed on the wooden shaft.
It has a vertical relationship with the entire wooden axis.
After finding the correct position and installing the water wheel head, under the gaze of Han Cheng who clenched his fist slightly, Mao Er, who was also very excited, stood up, came to the edge of the water wheel, and pulled the water wheel with his hand.
A leaf on the wheel was pushed down hard, and the water wheel and the rotating shaft fixed to it began to rotate.
Also rotating along with it are three relatively thick regular square wooden posts nailed to the connected timber.
After the water wheel rotated half a circle, the top of the square wooden pillar installed in the middle met the tail end of the high-tilt hammer head of the water hammer.
This square wooden pillar began to move downwards as the water wheel rotated, blocking the end of the water drum and being pressed downwards by it.
At the same time, the heavy hammer head of Shuidi rose, and rose higher and higher.
"Bang!"
The length of the square wooden pillar is limited. After pressing down the tail of the raised water hammer for a certain distance, the wooden pillar slides to the curved area behind the tail of the water hammer.
Then it slipped from this arc and turned in another direction.
After losing the pressure brought by the square wooden pillar on the wooden rotating shaft, the end of the Shui Lei equipped with a much heavier hammer head once again gained the upper hand and fell from mid-air with a 'bang' sound.
Fall into the stone mortar placed below.
As soon as it hit the inside, the square wooden pillar turned around again.
Carrying the power, it once again pressed the raised tail end of Shui Lei, forcing it to run downward...
Han Cheng frowned.
To this extent, the new type of water insulator experiment can be said to be basically a success.
However, there are still many small details that need attention and modification.
For example, under the control of the crossbar installed on the rotating shaft, the hammer head of the water hammer was not high enough from the ground, so it fell.
This is not good.
Because in this case, the impact force of the water hammer is not strong enough, and the efficiency is too low when used to pound rice.
The reason for this is that the length of the square wooden pillar used to hold down the end of the water bucket is not long enough.
Before it was pressed to the bottom, it had already slipped from the end of the water barrier.
"Son of God, I will make another long wooden pillar to replace this short wooden pillar."
Han Cheng saw where the problem lay, and Mao Er, the leader of the Jinguan City carpenter group, also saw where the problem lay.
So he said this to Han Cheng aloud, and then walked aside with an ax made of meteorite iron.
"Wait a moment!"
Seeing this, Han Cheng called out to stop Mao Er.
Mao Er heard the words and stood still, looking at Han Cheng with some doubts. He didn't know what his son of God meant by calling him out at this time and what he wanted to do.
"Don't rush to cut new wood. First, move the water bucket towards the wooden axis and try to make the tail end of the water bucket closer to the wooden axis."
Han Cheng said.
That piece of wood is not long enough and it does exist.
However, there are two solutions.
One is what Mao Er said, cut a piece of wood longer than this one and replace it with the shorter one. In this way, the problem can be solved.
Another way is to move the water bucket forward to reduce the distance between the tail end of the water bucket and the wooden pillar installed horizontally on the wooden shaft.
When the distance is reduced, the wood is increased.
This is what is called, if the mountain doesn't come, I will go to the mountain...
After hearing what Han Cheng said, Mao Er, who was still a little confused just now, his eyes suddenly lit up.
What the Son of God said seems very feasible!
Compared with cutting a longer square piece of wood, pulling the short piece out from the wooden shaft, and then loading the long piece of wood into it, it is more convenient to move the water bucket forward.
Moreover, if you really want to replace the square wood installed horizontally, it is not as simple as replacing just one piece, but you need to replace all three pieces and make them the same length!
After Mao Er's eyes lit up, he immediately called on a few people to join him in action, and Shui Dei moved forward.
Then he asked people to start the water wheel again.
When the water wheel rotates, the rotating shaft also rotates, driving the small square pieces of wood installed horizontally above to rotate together.
The rotating square wooden pillar pressed against the raised tail end of Shuidi, and was pressed downwards by the force of rotation.
The tail end of Shuizui also began to fall with this force, and the heavy hammer head of Shuizui began to rise accordingly.
"Bang!"
After a moment, the heavy hammer head fell from the air and hit the stone mortar placed below, making a much louder sound than before.
The sound was certainly loud, because the distance the hammer head was raised this time was obviously much higher than before!
This means that the changes proposed by Han Cheng just now are completely successful!
Mao Er looked at Han Cheng standing aside with admiration.
The Son of God is the Son of God, and he knows how to think of a solution better than me, who deals with wood and other things all day long!
The people standing nearby looking at the new equipment also looked at Han Cheng with admiration in their eyes.
The Son of God is worthy of being the Son of God! Compared with Mao Er who deals with wood every day, the leader of the Jinguan City carpenter group is better at finding solutions!
"Let's go, carry this thing to the water's edge, install it there and try it!"
Han Shenzi, without changing his expression, took in all the admiring glances from everyone, and then said this to everyone.
After all, this water bucket has to be driven by water. At this time, there is no problem if it is used by hand. But what will the final result be and whether it works well? It still has to be installed at the water's edge and let the running water drive it.
Check it out.
Hearing what Han Cheng said, the people of the Qingque tribe, who had already become very confident, separated some people and walked out of the tribe carrying the first upgraded and revised water drum.
Not long after, everyone came to a ditch.
There was bright white water falling from a high place into the pool below.
This is where the new water dam will be installed.
The terrain here in Jinguan City is gentle and the drop is generally not large. It is not easy to find such water flow.
At the beginning, there was no water flow with such a large drop here. Han Cheng had people dig it out here.
The excavated soil was transported to the east side of Jinguan City and used to fill in some low-lying areas.
Building such a low-lying area is not easy and requires a lot of effort.
However, there are many people here in Jinguan City now, so it would not be a problem to dig these out.
After arriving here, Mao Er and others took off their shoes, rolled up their trousers, pulled a leather tape measure, and went down into the pool to measure and determine the location for installing the water wheel.
After doing this for a while, the location for installing the water wheel frame was determined.
Then seven or eight more people took off their shoes, rolled up their trousers, carried hoe, shovel, hammer, thick wooden stakes and other tools to the not-deep pool, and began to install according to the position determined by the cat's ear.
.
There are not only more people to eat, but also more work to do.
After everyone's operation, it didn't take too long for the waterwheel's frame to be firmly nailed into the pool.
After the shelf was installed and fixed, everyone lifted the water wheel and installed it on the shelf.
The installed water wheel and the flowing water are on the same plane and have a vertical relationship.
This allows the falling water to hit the leaves of the water wheel and drive the water wheel to rotate...
