Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 197 Research and development of pot camel machine

Chai Lin came in and bowed his hands and said: "Four brothers, I'm sorry, I was working in the blacksmith shop just now, and I was covered in dust. I hope the four brothers will forgive me."

Tao Zongwang and others quickly returned the gift, saying: "Brother, you are welcome, we did not dare to stop all the way, and finally arrived a year ago."

Chai Lin said: "Have the four brothers eaten and drank well?"

"Brother, don't worry, let's eat and drink well." Ou Peng said.

Chai Lin said: "When you're full, let Brother Zongwang see how our construction tools are."

As soon as Tao Zongwang heard that he had a good tool, he immediately said, "Oh, what kind of tool is it, brother, let me have a look."

"It's at the door." Chailin pointed at the door of the inn.

Tao Zongwang saw an exquisite wheelbarrow at a glance. The wheels were only the size of discs. The hubs of the body were made of fine iron, except for the black layer on the outside of the wheels.

Xie Bao pushed it back and forth several times, and Chai Lin said: "This is a professional construction vehicle. It is very light and flexible. It is easy to push two hundred catties. It is easier than carrying a load, and it is cheaper than carrying a mule."

Tao Zongwang has worked on construction sites all year round and knows a lot about unicycles. He tried it in the past and found it to be much easier, especially the black wheels are very elastic, and the center shaft turns very easily without the grinding sound that makes teeth sour. .

"Good thing, good thing, it is very powerful to transport sand, gravel and bricks in a short distance, and can save [-]% of manpower." Tao Zongwang picked up the big engineering shovel and big pickaxe next to him, which were much heavier than the ones seen in Gwangju last time. It is more convenient and quicker.Building tools like this out of good steel takes a serious toll.

Chai Lin said: "Tools are only one aspect. The important thing is that our craftsmen in Chaijiazhuang are paid well. The small workers can actually get three hundred cash per month, the big workers are eight hundred cash, and the skilled craftsmen are almost one or two taels of silver. Rest four days a month, work no more than five hours a day, eat three meals a day, eat meat every now and then, and get free treatment for injuries."

Tao Zongwang couldn't believe it. The craftsmen working on the construction site now eat pig and dog food, and do cattle and horse work. They are not respected by others. The treatment in Chaijiazhuang is completely different from that in Chaijiazhuang.Chai Lin took an engineering shovel made of fine steel. It is all steel from the handle to the head of the shovel. It can be 1.5 meters long and heavy, weighing [-] catties.

"Brother Zongwang, I heard that you like to use a shovel, so I specially made one for you as your weapon." Chailin said.

Tao Zongwang took the shovel, a little at a loss, and said: "Brother gave me such a good shovel, how could I be willing to take it to the construction site, wouldn't I be so sad if it was lost on the construction site. "

"Hahaha, I didn't think carefully enough." Chailin said.

The group went back to the house to drink tea again. Chai Lin took two waist knives from the soldiers and handed one to Ou Peng and one to Ma Lin.The waist knife is for self-defense, about [-] centimeters in length, with a walnut handle and a buffalo leather scabbard inlaid with a copper buckle.

Chai Lin said: "This is a meeting gift for the two of you. The two brothers are very skilled in martial arts. It is said that a precious sword is given to a hero. Are you satisfied with it?"

Ou Peng took it out and was surprised, the body of the knife was covered with pine patterns.

"It turned out to be an ancient ingot knife with loose patterns, a treasured knife forged through thousands of years of tempering."

Ma Lin was equally astonished, and said, "It's too precious, this knife is not worth several thousand taels of silver."

Chai Lin said: "As long as you like it, I don't care about gold and silver."

Ou Peng and Ma Lin thanked them again and again.

Chai Lin said: "The two brothers are skilled in martial arts, how about I arrange the two of you to join the army?"

Ou Peng and Ma Lin said, "Since we're here, let my brother arrange it."

Chai Lin took out another golden abacus, handed it to Jiang Jing with both hands, and said, "Brother Jiang Jing, this is a gift for you. Although it looks deceptive, it is actually made of gold-plated brass."

Jiang Jing took the abacus and said, "Thank you, brother." Jiang Jing was very happy, this abacus was obviously custom-made, and it was thoughtful, this gift is very unique.

Chai Lin said: "Brother Jiang Jing, we have newly opened an iron mine in our village. There are thousands of people. Brother Zongwang is responsible for supervising the construction. Payment of money, food, wages, raw materials, materials, and finished products need to be recorded. Jiang How about brother being an accountant?"

Jiang Jingdao: "Thank you brother for your attention, Jiang Jing will definitely go all out."

The four newcomers can all be called talents, especially Tao Zongwang, who is proficient in civil construction and is exactly the talent that is urgently needed at present. Just one iron mine has workshops and hundreds of dormitories that need construction.

Chai Lin said: "Brother Zongwang, you go home to rest for a few days, and come back to work after the fifth and sixth days of the Lunar New Year. Then I will arrange for you to supervise the construction of various buildings in the iron mine."

Tao Zongwang said, "Thank you brother."

Ou Peng, Ma Lin, and Jiang Jing rested in the inn for a few days. It was more than 2000 miles from Guangzhou to Cangzhou, and they were exhausted all the way. It was time to take a good rest.

After the four brothers settled down, Chai Lin returned to Chaijiazhuang. These days, Chai Lin has been busy with an important matter, that is, the pot camel machine.This machine has simple structure, simple principle, simple operation and simple fuel.One can even be knocked out by hand. Of course, due to the age of industrial technology, the quality of knocked out is not up to standard, and it is easy to cause technology leaks, so Chailin still used a metal factory to manufacture a camel machine.The pot camel machine has four simple characteristics of simple structure, simple operation, simple manufacture, and simple maintenance, and as long as the fuel is used to burn the boiler, it is very suitable for the current development of Chaijiazhuang.It can drive machinery, drive water pumps, and even transform it into a steam tractor that can be driven independently.

In the Second Battalion of Tiangong, dozens of craftsmen stared intently at the four-wheeled cart with the big chimney in front of them.In fact, this is a very simple machine, a small boiler, a small steam engine, and four cast iron wheels. This is the pot camel machine.Its wheels do not have the ability to drive, and it needs to be pulled by mules and horses when it moves.But the steam engine can drive a huge flywheel, which is made of cast iron and weighs [-] catties, with three belt slots on it.

The high-quality coal was continuously added to the boiler, the water in the boiler was gradually heated, and black smoke was emitted from the large chimney.

Hu Youcai looked at this big guy he had never seen before, and kept asking Chailin questions.

"Master, isn't the boiler you're talking about just a sealed cauldron?"

"Yes, it is a sealed cauldron, but the material is very strong and strong, and the water inlet can be completely closed. After the water is boiled, it becomes water vapor. The steam enters the steam engine along the steel pipe, driving the big flywheel to rotate. , can replace manpower, oxen and horses to work." Chailin explained.

Hu Youcai was still puzzled, and asked, "How does steam generate force?"

"When you boil water, the steam can push the lid off the kettle, have you ever noticed?"

Hu Youcai suddenly realized that this idea was really too cruel.

As the boiler pressure increased, Chailin turned on the steam engine, and the steam engine started to work with a dull sound. The piston rod drives the transmission rod, and the transmission rod drives the flywheel. At the beginning, it was very slow. It turned so fast that the speed of the flywheel's rotation was no longer visible to the naked eye.The flywheel is huge, the greater its inertia, the greater its power, just like a single-cylinder diesel engine, power is a mystery.
