Villager of Daming

Chapter 557 Mass Construction without Deployment (Fourth Update)

Suddenly, the soldiers of the eight main generals began to compete for the three driving positions. The soldiers were all smart people and learned things quickly.

The snowmobile was rotated according to the distance. There was no windshield in front and it was very cold while driving.

“In the future, where there are no livestock, things like plowing the land will become simpler with the use of steam locomotives.

Ask the craftsmen to continue building the steam engine. If there are any missing materials, see if there are any in the things Bei Yuan left behind.

In what other ways can this steam engine be used?We know how to lift things, but what else? "

Zhu Biao considered taking a group of steam engine cars with him when he went back and leaving some for the local area.

On days that are not winter, cars are still more useful than horses.

"Equipment that can be made to excavate ore and soil requires a large steam engine, and a small one is not powerful enough."

The manager had seen pictures of excavators and bulldozers drawn by Hanhan, as well as other things, and said they were made into toys and sold.

The chief continued: "Your Highness, by the beginning of February, hundreds of steam engines will be built. The specific number depends on the craftsmen.

In addition to other transmission parts and working units, steam engines will be used for digging foundations and transporting materials during fort repair, including cement grinding and concrete mixing.

Now that we have the foundation, we will do it according to the needs. If the structure is not perfect in some places, we will know it during the trial.

It’s not difficult to adjust, and with the degree of wear of the parts, it gradually improved. "

Zhu Ming smiled: "In the future, our Ming Dynasty will be filled with steam engines. Steam engines will be used for farming. Steam engines will be used for travel. There will be steam engine boats in the river. In the sky... except that steam engines can't go up to the sky, it feels like they can go anywhere."

……

The two highnesses didn't eat much at dinner. After the meal, the mayor brought dessert, cream ice cream with preserved fruits and dried fruits in it.

Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi were still waiting to eat the assorted cans. When they saw this new thing, they took the egg roll holder and took a bite to taste it.

The first feeling...cold!

The second feeling...comfortable!
The two of them and one person each from Xiaqiu Village ate in small bites, and finally ate the egg rolls.

"Any more? One more, how come you always make delicious food." Zhu Xi didn't eat enough.

The head of the village gave him and the prince one each, but the people in Xiaqiu Village refused to eat. They had tried it before.

"When we return to Yingtian Mansion, will we be able to eat it in the summer? I've had shaved ice before."

Zhu Xi took a big bite, which made his temples hurt. He held it in, and after swallowing it, he thought that it was hot in Nanjing in the summer, so it felt good to eat this.

"It is best to transport ice from the north. The temperature in the ice cellar is low, and ice made of saltpeter consumes too much."

I would like to mention that this winter, ice will continue to be transported from the north to Yingtianfu, mainly in Henan.

The winter in Henan is just as cold, with snow and ice, as in Zhengzhou.

If the ice is not thick enough, you can only go to Peiping to find ice. The ice is thick in that location. As for the northeast, it is too far and has to be transported by sea.

"Chief, please send some to the children of the herdsmen! They drink milk every day, and they probably have never eaten such good food."

Zhu Biao thought of the herdsmen. Those children had nothing good to eat, and survival was the first priority.

"It will be delivered tomorrow. They don't have heating. I have a stomachache after eating too much at night." The manager agreed.

……

At dawn, with countless people watching, three or two steam engine snowmobiles rushed out with sleds.

Vegetables are placed on it and wrapped in quilts to prevent it from freezing. The workers will feel happy if they can take a sip of vegetable soup.

When preparing for class, the herdsmen's children were required to wash their hands and each was given a creamy ice cream.

When the last egg roll was eaten, they, like Zhu Xi, looked eagerly at the 'teacher' in class, hoping for another one. "It's only available in the afternoon, come on, let's have class now..." The teacher didn't care whether the children had eaten enough or not, he was giving lectures.

Zhu Biao called his younger brother and generals to the place where the craftsmen were working to determine whether one hundred steam engines and other parts could be built by early February.

As soon as they arrived, they saw three steam engines humming.

Some people put something on the platform in front of each steam engine and operated and processed something there.

"What is this?" Zhu Biao asked, but no one answered. There was too much noise here.

It wasn't until a craftsman leader came over and Zhu Biao repeated the question that he gave the answer: "The machine tool can cut, drill and grind. It was taken out of the car in Xiaqiu Village."

"How fast can machine tools make things?" Zhu Biao asked again.

"Your Highness, it's not only fast? It's also accurate! A hundred craftsmen are not as good as one machine tool.

This thing can be stuck at any distance. You don't need to use a ruler to measure it. There are scales on it.

With some components, you can handle things in awkward positions.

Your Highness, look at it, I'm going to work. There are castings over there, and some places need to be pressed. There are too many parts in the steam engine. "

The craftsman said and ran away, no time to waste with the prince.

Everyone keeps walking, there are people casting things in front of them, and there are people doing forging.

Other places are used for smelting copper, iron, and steel.

In addition, some people actually made machine tool parts there. It seemed that they wanted to get more machine tools. They had ready-made drawings in their hands.

"Go back!" Seeing such a busy scene, Zhu Biao knew there was no need to worry and left quickly to avoid disturbing other people's work.

……

After a few days, Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi's physical condition improved, and the palace was no longer so dry.

At the same time, the subsequent herdsmen also got better and had vegetables to eat.

Until the first day of February, steam engines were assembled one after another in a streamlined manner and divided into three types, mainly large, medium and small.

“The big one is used in excavators and bulldozers, the medium one is used as a transportation tool, and the small one is used to provide power for crushing things.

The parts of excavators and bulldozers are still being manufactured, and their strength is not very good. The teeth are easily broken during the process. Once broken, the entire bucket can only be replaced with new ones.

Our technology is not good enough, we need to continue to study it, make do with it, and make steel from broken castings.

Medium-sized ones account for half, and transportation is more important than other aspects. Take advantage of the snow to build more sledges and transport materials to the place where the fort needs to be built.

There will be more steam engines to follow. During this period, the craftsmen will work hard first and wait for a few days of rest in spring. "

The chief watched the craftsmen busy assembling there and introduced Zhu Biao and the generals.

The craftsmen are either resting now and will be tired when they build the fort, or they are tired now and use a lot of tools when building the fort.

The soldiers would also follow suit and do some physical work when building the fort.

"So there is no need to recruit craftsmen from other places to study here?" Zhu Fang thought of the arrangements before coming here.

Building a fort requires a lot of labor and needs to be recruited. Nowadays, with all the advanced tools, no one is needed to dig trenches and lay foundations, and no manpower is needed to lift things to high places.

There is also a method of crushing stones to burn cement, and then crushing the cement after burning. This is still a mechanical replacement.

　There are only four chapters today, and I owe one chapter. The farmer is too tired. I will move tomorrow and then everything will be fine.
