Chapter 0142 "Ten Thousand"(1/2)
The brick problem has been solved, but the tiles have not been solved yet.
The tiles are very thin and curved. If you want to make a tiling machine, the current conditions cannot be achieved.
That requires too high manufacturing technology.
Ye Qing's golden fingers are very powerful, but without relevant processing tools, he can't rub out parts with sufficient precision even with his bare hands.
To settle for the second best, he used a machine to solve the problem of mud in the tiling making process.
So, another water truck was erected and another drainage gate was put into use.
This waterwheel drives a mixer, which is specially used to mix mud.
This greatly saves manpower.
In terms of making tiles, there is no way to do mechanical production, so there can only be more manpower.
However, Ye Qing also improved the original tiling method.
Originally, making tiles required some experience in making pottery and technical proficiency.
This is not conducive to expanding production scale.
After all, skilled workers are always scarce at any time.
He used the model of pottery to make tiles.
The improvement is very simple.
Just replace the original pottery mold with a tiled mold, and the manual stamping device still uses the original designed device.
Put a fixed amount of mud into the mold, grab the handle of the stamping device, press down, and simply scrape the excess mud that has been squeezed out, and make a piece of tiles.
The advantage of this production method is that it does not require the tribe members to have skilled skills, and any one person can get started.
and.
The quality of the tiles is consistent.
But then, storage problems are still a problem.
The tiles are made in large quantities, and when exposed to the sun, they are prone to cracking and deforming, so they can only dry out in the shade.
This requires a large enough shading space.
To this end, a large shed was built specifically for placing wet tiles.
If the wet tiles are placed on the ground and dried in shade and spread them all over, the required shed area will be too large...
Can't afford to play!
Therefore, Ye Qing placed a large number of shelves in the shed, just like supermarket shelves.
If the plane is not enough, then store it in three-dimensional dimensions.
This method of tiles makes the tiles made single-piece and cannot be erected. They will deform even if they are laid flat.
How to store it?
Simple!
Ye Qing placed the fired tiles on the shelf one by one, and then placed the produced wet tiles on the tiles.
To form a tiling is a molding mold.
In this way, the problem of tiling is considered to be solved.
Walking on the open space of the brick and tile factory and watching this newly built and small factory, Ye Qing had infinite imagination in his heart.
This is the source of power and the future industrial zone.
Now it is a brick yard and a tiling yard. In the future, there will be sawmills, mills, crushers, and even textile factories!
He is preparing to upgrade his current water transport tools.
Canoes and bamboo rafts are still too slow and their carrying efficiency is too low.
He is preparing to build a large number of ships.
When building a ship, it requires a lot of wood.
With too few people, he can only do his best to improve the labor efficiency of his tribe members.
Hydraulic sawmills are the limit that can be achieved at present.
In terms of textiles, the tribe now uses hand-spinning machines. With hydraulic power, Ye Qing's ambitions suddenly expanded...
He was going to create a Jenny spinning machine.
Cloth is a necessity in any era.
In this primitive era, it was a luxury goods of high value.
Those who were not covered in clothes and surrounded by animal skins were all customers waiting for him to develop.
The market is still blank!
He was excited. With a large amount of cloth, he could exchange it for countless resources to promote the rapid development of the tribe.
The same is true for crushing factories. Although the crushing of copper ore powder has improved a lot of progress by using foot pedal pestles, it still occupies a lot of labor.
With the crushing plant, the efficiency will undoubtedly improve again.
After solving the problem of crushing, he even thought that when conditions were enough, he would do cement.
Cement is a super artifact.
If cement can be produced in large quantities...
Tsk tsk!
The wonderful prospect made him tremble with excitement!
At that time, the development of the tribe was no longer rapid, but rockets, interstellar leap!
The method of making cement is very simple. Although he only knows the general process and formula, this does not affect his ability to make cement in the end.
Knowing the general process and having clear goals. After a lot of experiments and trial and error, you can finally find the correct formula suitable for local raw materials.
If you want to use cement, the difficulty lies in the output!
What's the use of a little cement?
If you want to give full play to the role of cement, you need more, super many, super many...
If it is entirely produced by manpower, the labor required is beyond imagination.
Based on the current population, it is undoubtedly a delusion.
Therefore, we can only rely on the power of machinery.
Ye Qing looked at the dam, the water diversion canal, and the water truck.
In his heart...
The dam needs to continue to be raised and widened to greatly increase the water level of the reservoir.
The water diversion channel needs to be lengthened, and the drainage gate needs to be repaired more.
There are also many water trucks and more factories to build.
Before his eyes...
The height of the dam has changed from 10 meters to 15 meters, 20 meters...
The length of the water diversion channel has changed from 100 meters to 500 meters, 1000 meters...
The water trucks have changed from 3 to 20, 50…
The water trucks are 20 meters apart, one by one, and they are lined up to 1,000 meters away, and there is no end to see at first sight...
Sigh!
He sucked hard.
Suppressing the fantasy in his heart, he warned himself not to be impatient or to make too big a move. The development of hydraulic power needs to be slow for the time being.
Next, what you want to do is...
Refining the land!
Reclaim rice fields!
The patriarch is also in the brick making yard.
He walked among rows of brick stacks.
After more than ten days, two brick making machines produced nearly one million bricks.
These semi-dried brick embryos need to be air-dried and cannot be fired, so they are all piled up.
In the past, in life, nothing could reach the level of magnitude of "ten thousand".
Therefore, the patriarch does not understand what ten thousand is, and he has no idea about numbers above ten thousand.
To be continued...
