Chapter 108 Vertical Water Wheel
After the access restriction of the system was lifted, the problem of disappearing for a long time that could not be explained was solved.

It's a pity that it will consume technology points, and there is a limit on the number of times, otherwise he can live broadcast during the day in the simulated space, and then go back to the real world to eat and sleep after downloading, but the time difference is reversed.

After all, who would want to sleep on a bamboo mat when they can comfortably take a shower at home, blow on the air conditioner, and sleep on a soft bed.

In addition to this time limit, it is not so easy to get the points, and the points have other uses, so he is destined to not be able to realize this wish, so he can only go back every once in a while.

After waking up, after washing and eating something, the live broadcast started, and the audience poured in. Han Yuan greeted the audience with a smile:
"Yesterday I told everyone that the main task of this live broadcast is to enter the electrical age within one year."

"That is to say, in the next year, all my work will focus on how to enter the electrical age."

"First of all, the most basic thing for power generation is a generator and a steady stream of power."

"So in the next few days of work, I will create an ancient water wheel 'vertical water wheel' and use water power to solve the problem of power."

"Secondly, I can also use the vertical water wheel to create a hydraulic wrought iron machine and a hydraulic rotating shaft, which can be used to forge iron and process other materials."

As he said that, Han Yuan also walked to the side of the five red quebrachos that were exchanged yesterday, and took photos of the cinnamon and iron ingots for the audience to see.

"I said yesterday that because this simulation is a process of post-war rebirth and rebuilding civilization, my team will send me some supplies that I already have."

"These five hardwoods and these pig irons are the materials that the team prepared for me last night."

"As for my goal today, it is to decompose these five hardwoods into planks and materials for making 'vertical water wheels'."

Five solid woods are extremely straight, and Han Yuan left one solid wood as the central axis of rotation.

A ten-meter-long solid log, not to mention being used as a main axis, is enough to span the entire river.

The remaining four will all be sawn into planks and other materials for the manufacture of 'vertical water wheels'.

But before that, he needs to finish the unfinished work of the last wilderness survival.

It is time for the ironware stored in the wooden house for a long time to appear.

The two iron knives used as bamboo knives when making bamboo mats are the basic accessories for making 'wooden planes'.

Han Yuan cut down a tree with the thickness of a calf, cut off a section of the trunk and cut it into a standard rectangular piece of wood.

Then use a chisel to dig out a convex hole in a section of the wood block. This is used to install the iron knife. Cut through the rear of the convex hole and install a round wooden stick to make the handle of the planer.

The iron knife prepared earlier is put into the bottom of the raised groove, and the edge of the knife is flush with the bottom of the planer.

The prepared triangular forewood was smashed into the raised groove, and the iron knife was firmly nailed into the groove.

This is a complete planer.

The wooden planer was ready, and Han Yuan tried the effect, and the wooden planer that fit the iron knife worked on the rough wooden bench before.

The uneven parts that were cut out by the ax turned into pieces of thin wood flowers as the plane advanced.

The new wood was exposed, a piece of white flowers, and the uneven place became extremely smooth after being planed, as if it had been polished.

The audience in the live broadcast room watched Han Yuan use the newly-made wooden planer to plan the old bench before, and they also sent barrage praises one after another.

【Hey, I said before that the anchor's main job is carpentry, right? If you're not a carpenter, who would believe this level of proficiency? 】

[This tool is amazing, the scraped board is so smooth, there is no burr at all. 】

[Upstairs, it looks like urban people, and almost all rural people have seen it. This is called a 'plane! ']

[I still have this thing in my house. My dad used to use it to make wooden boards for tables and benches, and it was very useful. 】

[I watched it from the beginning to the end, and I can only say that this anchor is too versatile and can do everything. 】

[Don't worry, everyone, don't forget that this live broadcast is about advancing technology and entering the electrical age. 】

[Question of the day, when will the anchor rub the nuclear bomb? 】

The wooden plane is made, and Won starts to process the materials.

I found the crude wooden ruler I made before, and measured the length of about 1.5 meters. The wooden saw sawed off the ten-meter-long red quebracho, cut it into 1.5-meter-long trunks, and then sawed them into planks little by little.

In order to maintain the same width, he only took a part of the central part of the red queer wood, and each piece of wood that he made was a full finger thick.

These boards are the blades of the water wheel, too thin to withstand the impact of the water for a long time.

After the board is manufactured, it is roughly polished with a newly-made planer to remove burrs and then processed into a concave shape.

After dealing with the planks, the next step is to deal with the main shaft.

The red quebrach he left behind was the smallest of the four, but its diameter was more than [-] centimeters and close to [-] centimeters.

This kind of wood, especially the slow-growing trees like red quebracho, cannot grow in four or fifty years.

In China, this kind of plant belongs to the national protected plants, not to mention cutting it down, even if you break the branches, someone will come to trouble you.

But today these trees will become tools under his hands.

The old rule is to draw the line first, then start.

Iron chisels and hammers were used to chisel away the wood inside the lines bit by bit. After a while, two rectangular holes were dug out.

The footnotes of the board leaves are embedded in the newly dug holes, a little small, but this is just right, and it can still be hardened by smashing it a few times, and it won't fall easily.

After the first leaf was inlaid and fixed, the Korean won was pulled out again, and the remaining holes were carved and cut.

The 16-unit plate leaf is divided into two groups, which are respectively fixed on the positions of one-third and two-thirds of the main shaft.

This can increase the contact area between the blade and the water flow, and can more effectively promote the rotation of the main shaft under the flow of the river water.

After a busy morning, all the holes were dug,
Just when the audience in the live broadcast room raised their spirits, thinking that Won would start assembling the 'vertical water wheel', Won ran away.

He dropped all the materials he had made, went back to the wooden house, found a pole, basket and a hoe, and went straight to the limestone quarry.

The audience in the live broadcast room curiously asked him what he was going to do to collect the concrete.

[Isn't it building water wheels to generate electricity?What do you collect limestone for? 】

[Waiting for you to assemble the water wheel, anchor, I haven't seen this thing yet, I heard it was used for irrigation in the past. 】

[Upstairs, I have it in my hometown, Guilin's side, welcome to travel. 】

Seeing the doubts on the barrage, Han Yuan replied while collecting limestone:
"The depth of the small river near the camp where I live is only about 1.5 to [-] centimeters, but the blades of the vertical water wheel I made are close to [-] meters."

"If the blades and the main shaft are relatively combined, the diameter of the water wheel exceeds three meters, although the larger the water wheel, the stronger the force provided by the rotation."

"However, a vertical water wheel that is close to three meters is a big guy. Even if the part submerged in the water is only a small part, the height exceeds the depth of the river."

"So I need to make two high platforms with a height of at least 1.2 meters to place the main shaft, so that the blades will not stop hitting the bottom of the river when they rotate.

"Moreover, the flowing water of this small river is lower than the shore. Raising the height of the main shaft not only allows the power to be smoothly transmitted to the river bank, but also facilitates my subsequent workbench manufacturing and iron hammering."

"As for the material used to make the platform, it's concrete."

"Although this kind of rough concrete is not as durable as modern cement, it is still much better than the high platforms of earth and stone mounds."
