I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 51, The Porter of Technology
After the old man Wang used it, he found that the wooden rails are really fragrant. Although the wooden rails consume wood, but when the carriage walks on the wooden rails, it is not only fast, but also has a heavy load, and the energy consumption of the horse is also very small. After using the wooden rails, the efficiency has been improved. three times.And the wood is cut everywhere on the mountain near Mayi.

So Old Man Wang connected the coal mines, clay mines, limestone mines, and even the lumber field with wooden tracks, saving a lot of manpower.

The old man Niu also learned immediately after seeing the wooden rails. Now the daily demand for iron ore and coal in the blast furnace is very large, and there is an endless stream of horse-drawn carts to transport the ore, which is still not enough for the consumption of the ironworks.

And having wooden rails can increase the efficiency of the carriage by more than three times. He even used iron sheets to wrap the wooden rails inside the ironworks to reduce the friction of the wheels, increasing the efficiency by five times.

It seems that as long as the iron-making output can keep up, the world's first railroad track will be born in this iron-making plant.

With the efforts of Wang Laohan and Niu Laohan, the world's first wooden rail network was successfully constructed in Mayi City.

Xu Wei is very happy to see the ever-growing wooden track network. If you want to get rich, build roads first, this sentence is restrained in Xu Wei's genes.

First build a small wooden track network connecting a county, and later expand it to the entire Yanmen County, Bingzhou and even the entire Dahan.

Xu Wei couldn't figure it out. Obviously, the wooden rail carriage had been successfully built in the Qin Dynasty, and the military role and the importance of transporting materials were also revealed.

The daily marching speed exceeds 600 miles. Could it be that there is no martial arts emperor who is envious of such a marching speed and cannot see the importance of wooden rails to a unified dynasty.

In terms of coverage, economic benefits, and military benefits, its importance far exceeds that of the Great Wall and the Grand Canal. What about this project?
Even the later dynasties built wonders one after another, so why didn't they expect to copy the wooden track of the Qin Dynasty, which is really not technically difficult at all.

Xu Wei felt very sorry. If the wooden rails had not been lost, China would have ended the feudal era hundreds of years earlier, and the land area would have been several times larger than modern times, right?

The outer city of Mayi has become a large construction site. This should be the only place where Xu Haowei has a bit of a modern impression. It looks like a demolition site.

3 people are constantly digging on the construction site. Although the city wall cannot be built immediately, the underground engineering of a city is also very important. Sewers, canals, hardened roads, and moats are equally important.

"Shuai Qu is going to class again!" The excavating workers saw Xu Wei smiling and greeted him. After getting along for more than half a year, everyone respected the approachable Xu Wei and liked to communicate with him.

Xu Wei smiled and said, "Yes!"

Another worker asked curiously: "Shuai Qu, didn't you mean to build the city wall? We've been digging for almost two months, and we've only been digging a hole, but we haven't seen a single brick!"

Xu Weidao: "Sharpening knives is not a mistake for woodcutters. The bricks made by brick kilns are used to build ironworks and become tools in our hands. Without these shovels and hoes, we would not be as efficient as we are now. And the underground facilities are also ineffective." It is very important. With them, our houses in the new city will not be flooded. With underground canals, the filth in the city can also be flushed out, making people less likely to get sick. So don’t underestimate these infrastructures. These are all to make their lives better in the future!"

Everyone also agreed with Xu Wei's statement. After all, this is building their own new home. Naturally, the more detailed the construction, the better.

A worker named Tang Xin laughed happily: "Shuai Qu is right, but I think brick houses are no longer needed in such a shortage of bricks, and I don't think it's bad to live in a wooden house all my life!"

Compared with brick houses, wooden houses are much simpler. Xu Wei built five hydraulic lumber mills, turning the cut logs into square logs of normal size, and then building them one by one by carpenters, just like building blocks. After building a house, put earth and cement on it, put planks on top and cover it with straw, and a house that is windproof and rainproof is built.

Then all the houses are built according to this standard. After the standardization, a master craftsman and a few apprentices can build a house in a day. The speed of house construction continues to increase. Now there are hundreds of wooden houses every day. built.

Xu Wei gave priority to allocating these houses to those who have family members. The mere division of houses made everyone grateful to Xu Wei. Although Xu Wei looked down on these simple wooden houses, for the refugees here, how many lives did they It's been ten years, and it's the first time I've lived in such a nice house.

So most of the ideas are that it is enough to have a wooden house, what kind of brick house is needed!

But Xu Wei said: "Bingzhou is much colder than Jizhou, and the wooden houses can't bear the cold wind in winter. This year, everyone will suffer first. When we have time next year, we will replace all these wooden houses with warmer ones." Brick house."

"We don't want to build tens of thousands of houses. We still need to build a new city. One year is not enough time. I'm afraid it will take several years!" said a worker named Shi Qi.

Xu Wei replied: "I want to think of a new invention to increase the speed of building houses. Don't you have confidence in me?"

The crowd cheered: "Of course we have confidence in Qu Shuai!"

This is not blindly imagining Xu Wei, but the confidence that Xu Wei gave them during this time.

At a construction site like theirs at the beginning, it takes a long time to cook and cook, and it takes a long time to find a way to dry the firewood, and it is also smoky.

After Xu Wei saw it, he immediately made a three-eye furnace, briquettes and machines for making briquettes one by one. Now all the kitchens on the construction site use the new three-eye furnace. A few briquettes can be burned for a day, and there is a roller The kettle made of iron sheet can also help them boil hot water for drinking, which is simply too convenient.

Everyone turned to Xu Wei whenever they had difficulties, and Xu Wei did not disappoint them. He came up with new inventions to help them solve problems, such as gantry cranes, wooden rails, their gloves, safety helmets, etc. Tools and implements.

After Xu Wei came to Mayi, he had an average of two inventions every day. If there was a game system to show it, the technological level of Mayi would soar.

There are so many examples in front of everyone, so everyone has full trust in Xu Wei, and believes that there is no problem in this world that can hinder Xu Wei.

Only Xu Wei knows what kind of genius inventor he is. He just transported the tools of modern applications to this world one by one, and he is barely a technology porter.
