Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 300 Dismantling the Machine

He got off the cliff and got on the boat, and put it all the way to the entrance of the village. When he passed the mouth of the Liu and Guo families, Gu Siwei saw that there was no one on the pier, so he didn't go up, and put it all the way into the village.

At the door of Yang Chuanwu's house, he threw the anchor to the shore, jumped ashore and went straight to the yard of Yang Chuanwu's house.

When I got to the door, I saw Yang Chuanwu leading a group of old men and women, and the two young men Luan Jiandong and Sun Laiya mentioned yesterday, chatting happily around the machine.

Seeing this scene, Gu Siwei was a little puzzled, because he really couldn't figure out why these people are so addicted to watching machines. If they understand, it's okay to say, but Gu Siwei knows that they don't understand anything. After looking at them for so long, they have been placed here for several days, and these people are still very happy to see them now.

"Fourth dimension is coming"

Someone saw Gu Siwei coming, and immediately said something in surprise.

This sentence immediately attracted everyone's attention to Gu Siwei at the door.

"Eat all?"

Gu Siwei greeted everyone with a smile.

Yang Chuanwu said: "I've eaten it a long time ago, who hasn't eaten it at this time, and it's not the busy season of farming. Are you ready to start?"

Gu Siwei originally didn't want to work so fast. You have to digest your food well after eating, otherwise it would be bad for your health, but seeing a group of old and young men with their eyes open, although many of them are old and dim, but Lao Gu With a soft heart, he nodded.

"What do you want?"

Yang Chuanwu asked with a smile.

Gu Siwei said: "Here's a big pot, if you don't hold food or wash vegetables, use it to soak the parts, and the rest... Oh, get a broken mat, or just spread straw on the ground. When the time comes, arrange the disassembled parts one by one, so as not to confuse them when the time comes."

"This is easy to handle."

Yang Chuanwu greeted Luan Jiandong and Sun Laiya, and the three of them prepared what Gu Siwei wanted in a short while.

Gu Siwei took the tools. These tools were bought from the port city. Of course, this cannot be said, but it can only be said that they were borrowed from the factory.

A group of people surrounded Gu Siwei and watched Gu Siwei dismantle the machine, and they didn't dare to breathe, for fear that they would catch their breath, and Gu Siwei was shocked to hurt the machine.

Gu Siwei was not used to it at first, but gradually came to feel that men always have special hobbies for these things, and machines seem to grow on men's nervous excitement.

The machines at that time were simple, and Gu Siwei's previous machines were very complicated, so it wasn't a big problem to fiddle with this.

What's more, what Gu Siwei dismantled first was not the single-cylinder old horizontal diesel engine, but the pulverizer. It is estimated that the design of this thing has not changed much for decades or even hundreds of years.

The main parts are the grinding disc, grinding roller, casing and so on. They are all big guys, and they are quite intuitive. Gu Siwei opened the upper casing and took a closer look to know the general idea.

After dismantling the parts one by one, Gu Siwei took a closer look and decided which parts needed to be cleaned and which parts did not need to be cleaned, such as grinding rollers and grinding discs. Bright and shiny, the only single-minded thing is whether the material is food-grade stainless steel.

But there is no way for Dong Li and Gu Siwei to verify it. Even if it is verified, it is not very good steel. machine.

"This one doesn't need to be washed?"

"It's so clean, what's the matter with washing, your brain is not good, you can almost use it as a mirror."

"It's so bright, it can really be used as a mirror."

There was this person who stretched out his head and took a picture with the grinding roller as a distorting mirror, taking pictures of himself as monsters and ghosts one by one, and he couldn't stop laughing.

A group of spectators are not idle, they can always find a topic, and even if the donkey's lip is wrong, they can still chat happily, this is the skill of the folks.

Yang Chuanwu asked Gu Siwei at this time: "You don't need to wash these?"

"No, if you see something dirty, just wipe it off." Gu Siwei didn't raise his head.

Naturally, there is no need to answer questions when others ask, but Yang Chuanwu still has to answer when he asks. Now he is his deputy after all, not to mention there are two students studying beside him.

Hearing that it could be cleaned, Yang Chuanwu asked Luan Jiandong and Sun Laiya to do this job. Since they are operators, doing this job will also help them understand the machine.

The two happily went to work, leaving Gu Siwei to continue dismantling the machine.

There is nothing to wash this thing, that is, the transmission shaft needs to be decontaminated. Originally, Gu Siwei thought that there must be some problems with the transmission shaft after so long, but when he dismantled it, he felt that the machine was really strong at this time.

The wear of the whole transmission shaft is definitely worn out, but it does not say which piece is more worn and which piece is less worn, but the overall wear. From this shaft, it can be seen that the machine is built with great care and the parts fit together very well.

When repairing parts in the past, many parts had to be replaced after one or two years of use. In fact, they were not damaged by wear and tear, but the manufacturing materials were poor. It seems that the materials used are really sufficient at this time.A machine that has been used for a year or two is not as durable as a machine that has been used for decades. You say that it is not good enough to manufacture now?

Isn’t that nonsense? It’s because economics will be discussed after decades. You can’t use anything for too long. If you use it for a long time, you still need to buy a new one. If you use it for a few years, it will naturally break down. Replacing them with new ones is beneficial to the development of the industry.

Gu Siwei disassembled very slowly, not because he was unskilled in technology, but because he suddenly went back to his old profession and started dealing with machines. Gu Siwei felt a little bit of enjoyment, watching a machine turn into parts and placing them on his own In front of it, there is a special aesthetic feeling of industrialization.

Most girls can't see it, but men must be able to feel the quality of this metal and the sense of power revealed in it.

"Siwei, what do these parts do, tell us about it." Luan Jiandong was very modest at this time.

Gu Siwei had nothing to do anyway, so he began to explain the general functions of these parts to the two new operators. It is not necessary to explain the principles, and they are unlikely to understand it. It is not that Gu Siwei looks down on these two people.

These principles may be very simple for junior high school students decades later, but for two people who are almost illiterate, they must not have this kind of knowledge reserve. Open an engineering literacy class.

Gu Siwei only told them which opening the grain enters from, how to squeeze, press, and grind, and from which opening the final powder comes out, and from which opening the slag is blown out.

This sounds much simpler, and it is easier for two people to understand how the machine grinds flour.

"It doesn't sound difficult, just like we grind it with a mill, then push it on a big mill, then sieve it with a sieve, and finally lift it to remove the shell."

After hearing this, an old man felt that the machine was very simple and nothing special. It was a routine with the work we farmers do.

Yang Chuanwu said: "The same is the same, but you can't invent this thing without this technology, or how can you say that the foreign devils were powerful in the past, and if they set up a cannon, we have to cede land and seek peace."

"It looks simple to me. There is nothing particularly difficult. Why don't you think we can't make it?"

"It's not that it can't be made, but it's that I have spent all my energy on other places. The foreign devils who made things by turns are not as fine as our ancestors!
Don’t talk about anything else, just talk about the big bed last time, the sculptor even the characters are lifelike, how can a foreigner have such a thing... ".

"Yes, yes! When it comes to making things, you have to look at old objects."

Gu Siwei didn't want to express any opinions. He also bought this bed, and it is still in his space.

But you asked Gu Siwei to raise this thing to the height of the mill in front of you, but Gu Siwei sneered.

Pedal beds and thousand-work beds are naturally very high in terms of craftsmanship and craftsmanship. There is really no way to compare with foreign furniture. Even Western European palace furniture is honestly just as bad.

But the mill is different. To make such a mill requires systematic science. If it is a manufacturing system, it needs the overall development of productivity from simple agricultural labor to industrial manufacturing.

What is a walker bed?
It's just an exquisite tool to serve the lords. No matter how good this thing is, it's useless to the country.

If this thing is really good, there won't be a hundred years of humiliation.

Gu Siwei didn't say it because he and the folks couldn't understand it either.

The folks talking here and there made Gu Siwei forget the era he lived in for a while. At this time, the outside is criticizing this batch and that, and this is tantamount to singing the opposite tune, but fortunately on the side of Shimo Village No one really cares about these things. The folks here have only cared about their belly since ancient times, and they don't care about anything else, and they don't have the time to care about anything else.

After wiping the machine, Gu Siwei smeared a little butter on the shaft and bearings to increase lubrication, and then installed the machine.

It takes one day to disassemble and assemble, and then continue to disassemble the next day. This time it takes longer because there are too many places to clean in the machine.

The villagers around Gu Siwei every day not only did not decrease, but more and more. At this time, there is not much work in the field, because winter is about to enter, and all the work that should be done in the field is almost done. What has been planted in the ground has also been planted, so there are many idlers.

There are only so few people in the village, and there is usually not much excitement to watch. Now is the right time to watch Gu Siwei dismantle the machine together.

The machine was almost dismantled, and Gu Siwei installed the mill and everything on the fixed channel steel frame designed by himself. Now the last step is to clean the most important single-cylinder diesel engine.

This thing is not just for cleaning, there is a layer of putty on the things that have been used for a long time, first let Luan Jiandong and Sun Laiya remove the putty with straw poles, and then proceed to the next step.

As a master master, when Gu Siwei moved his mouth, someone was naturally busy.

This made Gu Siwei very satisfied.

The scene of dismantling the machine is still lively, but today, Gu Siwei didn't make a move all day long, and he just commanded people, so when he returned home, Gu Siwei was naturally in a good mood, and he directed others to work without using his words , This is the coolest thing to do, otherwise everyone likes to be a leader.
