lady

Chapter 519
Many excellent craftsmen just lack imagination, and what they lack is an opportunity. Sometimes just a random mention can stimulate their potential ideas.

Although the thread has been used for a long time, it was really widely used, probably after the industrial revolution, when the iron and steel smelting technology developed.

Steel is not widely used, limiting the development and application of threads.The wooden mortise and tenon structure can solve many problems, so the craftsmen never thought of working on the thread.

Ye Xinyan just randomly mentioned a few uses of the thread, which opened the imagination of Zhang Mian and Wang Huan.The two of them were already eager to try, thinking about studying the things that the eldest lady said, and how they could be applied in practice.This is a first-of-its-kind thing. It is not an ordinary thing to follow the rules and routines. If it is done, it will be a craftsman at the level of a grand master.

After arranging the things to be done properly, Wang Qiao continued to lead a few ingenious craftsmen to discuss the structure of the hoist with Ye Xinyan.After Ye Xinyan explained to Wang Qiao and the others what she knew about the shape, structure, and operating principle, she left the matter to them, and she got out to think about the construction of the Taolin.

The original plan was that in addition to expanding the cattle farms in Qingyuan County and the southern part of Yuyuan County, Ye Xinyan would go to Guanyuan County in the northeast to choose a place to build another cattle farm and a corresponding dairy workshop.As a result, a trip to enjoy the peach blossoms and go outing in the green completely disrupted the plan.

It is necessary to expand the cattle farm to other provinces, but the mechanical workshop has already started, and she can't get away from the tight schedule.

The other best candidates are Fan Zhengyuan and Xie Chun. They have already presided over an expansion in Qinghe Village. The cattle farm in the south of Yuyuan County was also presided over by two people in the past. They have enough experience to preside over the construction of another one in Guanyuan County. Cattle farm and follow-up workshop.

By mid-May, the main project of the two houses that Zhang Wusi was in charge of was completed, and Zhou Biyao had also sorted out the materials for the mechanical workshop and cattle farm to build the peach forest, and only waited for the construction of the peach forest to start.

Speaking of which, the businesses Ye Xinyan manages are relatively complicated in composition.The cattle farm is the business of Jiang Yifan and Jin Rong, the dairy business is the business of Ye Xinyan and Jin Rong, and the machinery workshop is the partnership of the three of them.

With regard to money and expansion, although according to what Jin Rong and Jiang Yifan said, she can make full decisions, but if she plans to cooperate for a long time, it is better to discuss it with her partners when there are major moves and changes.

So, a few days later, when Jiang Yifan came to send Ye Xinyan the news of the road construction, Ye Xinyan had already made up his mind and was just waiting to discuss it with Jiang Yifan.

"Do you really want to build a wooden track?" Jiang Yifan was a little surprised.

Ye Xinyan nodded, "I thought about it again. If the wood is well selected and the anti-corrosion is done well, the lifespan of the wooden track is no worse than that of the rail. Moreover, we mainly use it for milk transportation, so we have to schedule it reasonably and only repair it." A monorail is enough, which can save a lot of labor and materials.”

The material is fine, but Jiang Yifan is worried about the life of the track, "You asked, can the wooden track really withstand the wind and rain? If the wood weathers and deforms after two years, I'm afraid it won't work. Otherwise, I'll ask someone to ask again?"

Ye Xinyan said: "No, there are so many pagodas and attics in the world, all of them are in good use, and none of them have been weathered and collapsed. If you have the time and manpower to ask this question, why don't you find out where there is a good anti-corrosion technology?" and materials."

She had heard rumors about Qin Chao's wooden track in the past, but it was a pity that she didn't know that she was going to cross it at the time, that is, she just listened to it casually and didn't take it to heart at all, let alone paying much attention to whether it was true.But as long as there is something to say, there may be some shadows, and she still believes it.

Jiang Yifan thought for a while, and seeing that there was no one in the reception room, he asked in a low voice, "You are so sure about making wooden rails, do you have wooden rails?"

When I was in Taolin, I told him about my previous life, and when he got excited, he would mention it from time to time.

Ye Xinyan curled her lips sharply, and said: "At that time, the exploration and mining technology was very mature, and the iron and steel industry was already very developed. How could we use wood as the track?" Is it up to the fire?
In order to prove her own words and to attack Jiang Yifan, Ye Xinyan asked, "Do you know what steel is?"

Jiang Yifan was wondering why Ye Xinyan brought iron and steel together and said, hearing Ye Xinyan's question, he quickly shook his head, expressing that he didn't know.

"Actually, we seldom use iron to describe the material. We always refer to steel. When smelting, various other metals and minerals are added to the iron to meet the requirements of different uses. For example, good toughness and hardness. Tall, corrosion-resistant, ductile...the list goes on and on.”

Jiang Yifan remembered Ye Xinyan's words carefully, nodded and said: "What you said is very reasonable. The famous swords in ancient legends are sharp blades made by sword masters with different blacksmithing skills. I guess they were used by you The method just said."

Um, she really forgot that in modern times, she often heard reports about the unearthed cultural relics in some places, and what kind of sword was found. It was said to be extremely sharp, and even modern science could not create a sharp weapon.

Well, she got carried away. Our ancestors had a lot of intelligence, but they cherished their own skills too much and refused to pass them on to others, and then lost those exquisite craftsmanship and skills.

"That's right, we also have records there, saying that there were superb smelting techniques in ancient times." Ye Xinyan echoed resentfully.

Jiang Yifan didn't get entangled in this matter, "Since you want to use wooden rails, then do as you want, even if there is no precedent, we can try it. You prepare the materials, and I will let the county government engineering department Officials look for classics to see which one is better for embalming."

"Wait," Ye Xinyan remembered that land was needed to build roads or tracks. Seeing what Jiang Yifan meant, the problem of land use was solved? "What about the land for road construction, can it be bought and sold?"
