Chapter 63 Just ask if you can make money

The snow stopped, the wind stopped, the clouds disappeared, and the earth was white.

As soon as it was dawn, people in the manor began to clear the snow, first from the vegetable greenhouse, and then to their own houses.

When the sky was slightly bright, the old man and the women took their children to take care of the vegetables in the greenhouse, and the men left in a carriage.

Workshops are being built everywhere outside Weissenburg, and they are idle in winter. Not only can they earn some money by working hard, but they can also eat a few steam breads for free at noon. If you save one of the steam bread coupons for lunch, when you get off work in the evening You can also go to pick up the bag and take it home in your arms.

The men discussed in twos and threes what to buy before Winter Soul in the carriage. Many decided to buy rubber shoes, which are waterproof and convenient for working in the fields; some said that they should also buy raincoats, which are light and comfortable; Tableware, as a gift when preparing to propose a marriage.

One of the cars was full of young people, and a young man suggested that everyone pay to buy a football and come out to play when they have time. Everyone agreed, and the greenhouse team, the future football powerhouse, was established in this way.

When the convoy arrived at its destination, it was an open space where people who came to work from all directions got off their cars, making a lot of noise.

Some people are long-term workers, either find a foreman, or go to the construction site by themselves.

The foreman who needs part-time labor shouts loudly here, those who need to dig soil and move things are paid 10 copper coins, and 4 steam breads for lunch, and the wages are settled daily.

Frederick and Richard Nall also got out of the car here, one went to the blacksmith shop, and the other went to dig ice in the river for fishing.

Tarot is resting today, and following Frederick is the chief maid Karpo.

Frederick asked her on the way, "When were you snatched?"

Karpo blushed slightly, and replied, "It's agreed to be next spring."

Frederick said "Oh" and joked: "I thought you would go with him that year. I heard that your salute is ready."

Karpo hurriedly defended: "How can such a thing happen, the master was still young at that time, so remember wrong."

Frederick looked at the blue sky and said nonchalantly: "Perhaps, I remember that one day my mother and I stopped at the other end of the corridor. I don't remember that it was to prevent passers-by from disturbing who was kissing whom."

Karpo was stunned for a moment, his face turned red instantly, and he subconsciously stretched out his fist to make the master forget something.

Frederick turned around and saw her rolling up her sleeves, and immediately ran as fast as she could.

According to the late wife's will, Karpo has the power to beat Frederick.

Today the blacksmith shop is as lively as ever, but the sound of blacksmithing is mixed with a lot of curses.

Wesson was freed up, the funds from Archbishop Victor had been received, and the heavy industry began to accelerate its development.

The new smelter located north of Weissenburg is being built overtime under the auspices of Alfred. The scale is much larger than here, and the reverberatory furnace is also used.

The Lakeman Forge under Bryant's supervision is also under intense construction, and it is expected to be put into operation next year after being joined by blacksmiths among the disaster victims.

The bearing factory also became independent and specialized in the production of bearings. Ogilvy planned to let one of his students manage it, and Frederick agreed in principle.

Now the blacksmith shop is maintaining the original steel and bearing production, and at the same time serves as a training base for newcomers. After the factory is built, they can go to work directly.

It has also become Professor Ogilvy's laboratory, where he takes students to study reciprocating machines all day long.

A group of people were testing a machine when Frederick arrived.

Everyone was an acquaintance, and he squeezed to Ogilvy's side to see what new tricks they came up with.

There are indeed new tricks. In the past, the magic muscle had heat dissipation problems. Now the cross section of the magic muscle of this machine has changed from a circle to a "" shape, increasing the surface area and improving heat dissipation performance.

At the same time, it is also equipped with a round plate on the front and back, with a circle of elastic wavy slime soft glue in between, a bit like an accordion, and there are water inlets and outlets on the front and rear round plates, which can pass water for cooling.

The water inlet pipe is connected to a large wooden barrel at a high place, which contains a mixture of ice and water, and the outlet pipe leads to a wooden barrel. Frederick put his hand in it, which is a little warm.

"Looks good," Frederick said.

Ogilvy nodded and replied: "As long as a fist-sized reciprocating pump is connected next to it to supply water for cooling, it can be sold. It is also convenient for BASF to make such a pump."

Frederick took a look. After the integration, the water-cooling system is not considered as big as a microwave oven, and it is not a problem to drive the mill and forging hammer.

"Can it be made bigger?" he asked, "Can it replace the waterwheel?"

Ogilvy replied: "It can be, but the cooling equipment will be larger."

At this time someone said: "Let's not use magic for indirect cooling. The water in contact with the magic muscles has a separate circuit. They dissipate heat through the water pipes in the water tank cooled by magic. That part of the water pipes is coated with a layer of high resistance metal to prevent magic elements." go in."

Frederick looked up, but he didn't expect it to be Diesel, the explosive ghost, who hadn't noticed him just now.

Ogilvy thought for a while, nodded and said, "You can try this method, but there is still an upper limit. It will be difficult to handle if the temperature exceeds the boiling point of water."

Frederick thought so too. Once the water boiled, it would be a pressure cooker, and the surrounding soft glue would be stretched into a ball. If it was replaced with cooling oil, the high temperature would melt the soft glue.

Diesel said: "Then try to explore its potential. The boss and I are still waiting for the boring machine to make the pipe."

Ogilvy joked with him: "Then please put your hand in the spout and tell us if the water is ready to boil, so we can know where the limit is."

Diesel rolled his eyes at him.

There is no unified temperature scale these days. Many people have established their own standards, but none of them have been recognized. The only common recognition is the freezing point of distilled water.

At the same time, the development of thermometers is also in the preliminary stage. Although there are liquid thermometers, the influence of atmospheric pressure has not been considered, and many of them are still open, and the closed ones have not been evacuated.

What Ogilvy said about reaching out to measure the water temperature is not a joke. Someone really did it.

This is what Frederick came here for this time. The best way to study whether the fire element is weaker in winter is to measure the temperature of the water after the same amount of fire element is heated to the same volume of water. This requires accurate temperature scales and thermometer.

He has prepared the plan, and today he came to Ogilvy to see if any of his skilled craftsmen can do this.

"I have a new idea."

As soon as Frederick finished speaking, Ogilvy and Diesel asked in unison: "Can you make money?"
