Great changes in the countryside

Chapter 86 Invention of the Mud Transporter

What grandpa invented is not a new gadget, but actually an improved version of the waterwheel.

The last time I dug and washed the sand, my grandfather built a waterwheel, which has been kept at home since then.

Grandpa made two modifications to the original waterwheel.

The original water wheel was only five or six meters long, but now it has been extended to 12 meters, and it can be extended by another three meters according to actual needs.

The old-fashioned waterwheel relies on rickshaw water.There are four positions on the water wheel, and up to four people can be on board at the same time, and the wheel is turned by pedaling.Then the car plate drives the car plate belt, and the car plate belt brings the water ashore.

The mud is heavier than water and it is so long that it would be difficult to bring the mud ashore with the strength of human feet.

Grandpa used bearings and large and small gears to make a gearbox and installed it on the wheel of the waterwheel.

The power of the human foot is first transmitted to the gearbox, the gearbox drives the chassis, and then the chassis drives the track, which greatly reduces the manpower.

The long track has also been improved, and the partitions on the track are also replaced with plastic.

Chen Yang named this "invention" of his grandfather as the mud transporter.

Whether the mud transporter works well or not must be verified through actual use.

In the morning, Chen Yang called a few boys to transport the mud transporter to the river, and installed it under the guidance of his grandfather.

After installation, the test was carried out immediately.

The grandfather and the elder sister worked hard on the wheel, and the two of them could turn the mud conveyor.

Chen Yang was in the river, holding a shovel, shoveling mud on the crawler of the mud transporter.

The entire track was covered with mud, and it could still rotate easily, which showed that the mud transporter was successful.

The whole family cheers.

The people in the team also cheered.

After two and a half hours of trial operation, Chen Yang confirmed that the amount of mud transported in these two and a half hours was equivalent to a day's work of pure manual labor.

In other words, one day with the mud transporter can complete the task of at least five days.

The news of the old model's invention of the mud transporter was spread to ten, ten to hundreds, and spread all over the county's water conservancy construction sites.

Many, many people came to visit.

It also alarmed leaders at all levels such as counties and districts.

Everyone asked for advice.

Grandpa and Chen Yang had agreed a long time ago, and gave Chen Yang all the credit for inventing the mud transporter.

Grandpa told those who came to visit that the mud transporter was designed by Chen Yang, and he just made the mud transporter according to his grandson's design.

Each production team has one or two water trucks, and everyone has the opportunity to learn from their grandparents.

Chen Yang really wanted to make money with this.

However, Comrade Fan from the county came.

As soon as Lao Fan arrived, he first called his grandfather brothers and sisters, and immediately raised his seniority.

After all, grandpa is a model worker at the regional level and has a great reputation.

He couldn't stand Lao Fan's flickering, and lifted his grandfather even higher, so he couldn't get down after floating up.

Grandpa announced in public that he would provide equipment drawings for free and teach everyone how to make a mud transporter without reservation.

Chen Yang laughed at his grandfather in his heart, and said that Jiang is old and spicy, and his resistance is too weak.

Over there, grandpa was surrounded by a group of people, talking freely.

Here, Chen Yang squatted on the river slope and sighed.

What a money making opportunity.

Lao Fan came down the river slope, walked up to Chen Yang, and squatted on the ground.

"Hi Xiao Chen."

"Hello, Comrade Fan."

Lao Fan took out half a pack of Pegasus cigarettes and a lighter.

Lao Fan lit a cigarette by himself first, then handed the cigarette and lighter to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang was not polite, he also lit a cigarette and started smoking.

"Xiao Chen, you are upset."

"I, I'm not unhappy."

"Haha, between friends, tell the truth."

Chen Yang smiled embarrassedly.
