Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 709
Everyone seemed to understand, but they left the roller workshop and went to the inner ring production workshop.

What the workers bring in here are rough-processed semi-finished products, which are placed at the front of each production line.Everyone can see the machines behind them, they are all lathes with human pedals.After several times of turning, inspection, and finally two grinding processes.After inspection, they are packed into boxes.

The outer ring workshop is similar to the inner ring workshop, and the process is almost the same.

Compared with the roller workshop, these two workshops can still be seen roughly.Although I don't know why I did this, everyone can see clearly what I'm doing.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with everyone, Lin Zeng led everyone into the cage workshop without saying much.

It started out as a brass strip that was fed into a machine.When they reached the position, the operator on one side suddenly pulled the long pole beside him, and there was a "plop" sound, and a giant hammer fell from the machine.The copper tape was cut and many holes were punched.

Everyone walked to the side of the machine and was too scared to speak by the earth-shattering sound.It's just that the operator is not in a hurry, sending copper strips into the machine.When there are more cut copper pieces, someone will come and remove them.

Lin Zeng saw that the crowd did not leave, so he whispered to the team leaders to inform them and walked to the next station.

Here it is much simpler.The copper strips with cut-off holes are here rolled into cylinders, inspected and packed.The machines for winding the copper tape are also operated by two men.A person pedaled on the shelf as a driving force.One person feeds the material into the machine.

Seeing that a copper sheet was fed in, it was rolled into a perforated cylinder after a few strokes on the roller.It was interesting to watch, and everyone stopped here for a while.

Coming out of the workshop, Lin Zeng called everyone together.Said: "You should be very surprised why these workshops are built next to the river. This workshop, the machine that cuts the copper belt, is driven by water. The principle is not complicated, just similar to the common water mill. It's just that there is no grinding here. things, but with machines.”

The bus blog post said: "If there is no hydraulic power, and all the work is done by people, I don't know if it will work or not?"

Lin Zeng said: "Some work, but some don't. Manpower is sometimes poor, and there is no way to do it. However, manpower can still be used to cut off the copper belt here. But people do it slowly, and there is no way to do it." The machine is good. Most of what you will see next are processes that require the use of hydraulic power, so everyone should watch carefully."

After speaking, he confessed a few more words and led the people into the workshop behind.

Behind these workshops is the river, on which machines are arranged.It's just that it's far away, so I can't see exactly what the machine looks like.

These rivers are water drawn from other canals after damming upstream.Regardless of the drop or the water flow, hydraulic machinery is just set up.The machine is not set directly on the river, that would be too unstable.

As soon as I entered the workshop, I heard a huge "boom, boom" sound.When everyone looked at it, they saw that it was similar to the previous cage, there was a huge machine cutting the iron bars into pieces.The cut steel bars were taken to the nearby machinery.Then put it into a mold, and when the machine presses it, it becomes the shape of the desired roller.These rollers are assembled and become the blanks of the roller workshop in the back.

The homework here is simple and clear. Everyone looks at each machine one by one until the end.

Arrived at another workshop, almost the same as before.But here is a steel pipe, which has been cut off section by section.Then it is red hot and put into the mould.When the machine is pressed down with a "bang", it is a blank.

Coming out of the workshop, the sun has already set.

Everyone gathered together, Lin Zeng said: "There is nothing to say about the workshops behind, everyone can see clearly. Although these processes are simple, but without water power, it is difficult to rely on manpower. This is why the workshop should be built in Next to the river. Without water power, many things are difficult to do. Well, we have finished visiting the workshop, now go to the place where the finished product is displayed, and see what the finished product looks like."

After speaking, he led everyone to the front of the factory, in a room with bright and clean windows.

This house is different from other places. A cabinet is placed in the most conspicuous place in the middle, covered with glass.In the cabinet, there are finished bearings.

Everyone stepped forward, and after seeing it, they couldn't help but suddenly realized: "So it is like this!"

There is only one kind of bearings produced now, all of which are roller bearings.It's just that the size is different, and there are more than a dozen models.

Lin Zeng introduced on the side.Dao: "The bearings here can be used on various machines. The largest model can be used on vehicles, machines, etc. The smallest model is mostly used on textile machinery. These models have different sizes, It will not change. We will print it into a book and supply it to other factories. When they design a machine, they can directly choose the bearing model, and they don’t need to think too much about the bearing.”

After walking around, Mu Ying asked, "What kind of bearings do you use for the car you often ride in?"

Lin Zeng pointed to the middle three and said: "Generally speaking, the middle three are chosen according to the difference of the car."

Mu Ying leaned forward, looked at it for a while, and said, "It's this small circle. Whether the car is installed or not is completely two things. There is no bearing, the shaft is often broken, and there are few goods shipped. Installed the bearing. It can hold a lot of things, and it will not break for many years."

Lin Zengdao: "It didn't take long for our field to be built, and the bearings sold were rarely used or damaged."

Zheng Gangzhong asked: "I don't know what the price of these bearings is? Seeing that the scale of this factory is so large, it should not be cheap."

Lin Zengdao: "The cheapest ones are the three kinds of bearings used in the middle car. Because they are easy to make and sell a lot. The small one is about five hundred yuan. The middle one is eight hundred yuan. Wen, the biggest one will cost you consistent money.”

Zheng Gangzhong wondered: "Why is the middle one the cheapest? Look at those smaller ones, don't they use less iron?"

Lin Zengdao: "The cost of raw materials is only part of the cost of the bearing, and there are many other costs such as labor costs. Whether it is large or small, it is much more difficult to manufacture, and of course it is more expensive."

"And this time?" Zheng Gangzhong felt very surprised, and leaned over to the display cabinet to have a look.

The bus blog asked, "I wonder how many bearings your factory sells a year?"

Lin Zengdao: "There are few sales now. One pair is two. The most commonly used three kinds of bearings can sell more than 2 pairs a year. Other bearings sell seven to eight thousand pairs."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but gasp.A rough calculation shows that the factory can sell [-] to [-] sticks a year.According to Lin Zeng, this is still a low price.

Of course it sells for less.According to the estimate when the site was built, if the market is opened up, the sales volume will increase tenfold.The simplest, vehicles are the most commonly used means of transportation in this era, and almost every household needs a wheelbarrow.There must be a big car in five or six households.How many of these are there?
