Chapter 1812: One Ton per Hour

"As expected of Mr. Yang's design, this thing looks extraordinary."

Tian Hui kept praising it and looked at the thresher as if it were a rare treasure.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, this is just an ordinary machine, no different from a tractor or a mixer.

But for him, who had experienced difficult times and had been hungry most of the time since childhood, this was the best machine.

With it, the labor of farmers can be liberated, one person can do the work of ten people, more land can be cultivated, and more food can be grown.
This tiny change brings about progress in agriculture as a whole.

He could imagine that in the future, farmers would use tractors to pull plows when planting, water pumps when irrigating, tricycles to transport harvests, and threshers when threshing.
Isn’t this mechanized production?

Isn’t this progress?

Tian Hui's face showed excitement.

"Old Tian, ​​why are you talking so much? Hurry up and find something to try."

Li He on the side urged first, saying that he could think of what Tian Hui could think of.

After hearing this, Tian Hui looked at Sun Guo beside him with a serious expression.

"Director, we just assembled it not long ago and haven't started it yet."

"Do you want to check it again?"

Li Hexian was about to object after hearing this, but then he thought about the mission and nodded.

It took a lot of effort to finish it in two days as required. If something went wrong, there would be no time to correct it, let alone explain it to Yang Xiaotao.

"Director, why don't you check it again? If something goes wrong, it will be too late to fix it."

Sun Guo waved his hand confidently, "No need to look at it, as long as you follow the drawings, there will be no problem."

"I believe in Mr. Yang's design, and I also believe in the skills of my comrades."

After saying that, Sun Guo asked people to start the machines, and then arranged for people to go around and find some wheat.

Their branch factory is located in the suburbs, not far from the surrounding villages.

Everyone immediately got busy.

The thresher is driven by a diesel engine, and the first branch factory has ready-made engines.

As the workers installed the engine in place, the belts were installed, then it was oiled, cranked, and started to work.

Boom~~~
There was a continuous sound, followed by the sound of a motor and the faint sound of strong wind.

"The wheat is coming, it's coming."

Not far away, a few workers were running over with bundles of wheat, and behind them were a few farmers.

Just put it in front of you, and after a while it formed a small pile.

Sun Guo asked about the situation and learned that these were wheats from nearby villages. After he explained the situation, the villagers did not believe it and wanted to come over to take a look and take the threshed wheat back with them.

When Sun Guo saw this, he was about to pick up the wheat and push it inside, but was stopped by Tian Hui.

"Old Sun, if you fill it all in, the motor might be suffocated. You have to cut it off first."

Tian Hui handed a piece of paper to Sun Guo and said, "Look, this is the precautions that Mr. Yang wrote when he was designing it."

Sun Guo took it and looked at it, and it was true.

The words "Instructions for Use" are written on it.

"Hurry up and find someone to get a guillotine. If there is no guillotine, a kitchen knife will do."

After hearing this, the workers around actually went to the kitchen and brought over a chopping board and a kitchen knife.

Then, according to the instructions, everyone chopped off the wheat heads, and then Sun Guo personally stood on a stool and put the wheat ears into the thresher.

Then I felt the noise inside became louder and louder. At the same time, a puff of ash blew out of the exhaust vent, and several workers nearby started coughing immediately.

It was not too late. As the sound inside became clearer, a bowl of straw immediately spurted out from the discharge port at the back.

"It's out, hurry up and continue."

As Tian Hui shouted, someone immediately came to the grain outlet with a basin and waited there. After a while, the sound of rice dropping with a clattering sound came from inside.

"No, find the bag quickly."

As more and more wheat straw was thrown in, wheat grains kept flowing out, and soon the lunch box was full, but the bag had not been found yet. Some people took off their coats and spread them on the ground, then watched the jumping wheat grains hit them with a look of joy on their faces.

"It's done, it's done!"

"It's done!!!"

In an instant, there was a shout in the workshop.

These are all grains. Grinding them into flour can make steamed buns, noodles, cakes, and dumplings.
In an instant, all kinds of delicious food appeared in everyone's mind.

However, Sun Guo, Tian Hui and others were looking at the wheat continuously flowing out and were amazed at the efficiency of the thresher.

At the current speed, this machine can thresh the wheat in less than a day, which would normally take a week.

This machine did not disappoint them.

At this time, the villagers who followed along opened their mouths wide and stared at the machine as if they were watching a movie, without blinking.

Among the working methods that have been passed down by them, farming has its own set of patterns.

Just like plowing the land, even if you use a tractor, it is just replacing the "iron ox", there is no essential change.

But the machine in front of you can spit out wheat grains directly. There is no need for crushing, wind blowing, or people picking them up. You just need to put them in and then find a bag to put them in.

This, this completely overturned their understanding of work.

After a long while, the older one finally moved his feet and walked forward. He didn't say the first words until he reached out and touched the warm wheat grains with his hands, trembling, "Oh my God, this must be magic."

The workers around them did not laugh at them. Even though they were revolutionary workers of the new era and had a strong ability to accept these new things, they were still shocked.

"Old Tian, ​​you two keep an eye on it. I'm going to call CEO Yang and report the good news."

Sun Guo immediately ran out of the workshop.

He wanted to tell Yang Xiaotao the good news, he couldn't wait.

Yang Xiaotao was found by Lou Xiaoe in Workshop 4 when he was about to get off work. At that time, he was talking to Wang Fa about Li Nan and they were planning to go visit him together this weekend.

Wang Fa also had the same idea, so he agreed immediately.

After Lou Xiao'e found Yang Xiaotao and told him what Sun Guo said, Yang Xiaotao didn't care about anything else and drove to the first branch.

By the time he arrived at the first branch, it was already dark. "Boss Yang, the machine is ready. We tested it and it works very well."

"After hearing about it, farmers from nearby villages came here with a lot of wheat, just to see this magical thresher."

As soon as Yang Xiaotao got out of the car, Sun Guo came over with a group of leaders from the first branch.

Behind them, many people were pushing carts loaded with bundles of wheat towards the workshop.

Probably a local farmer.

With these farmers' testimonies, Yang Xiaotao felt that there was no need to check whether it was useful or not.

If it doesn't work, probably no one will come.

"Have a look."

After saying that, Sun Guo led the way forward.

When we arrived at the workshop, we saw that it was full of workers and farmers.

However, everyone's eyes were focused on the machine in the middle, with expressions of amazement, envy and hope on their faces.

The rumbling sound also drowned out the discussions around.

On one side, the wheat straw that was blown out had piled up into a small hill, and on the other side, the farmer in charge of catching the wheat grains was calling on people to quickly get the bags.

The whole scene was noisy and disorderly, but the joy could be felt from afar.

"Boss Yang, do you want to stop?"

Sun Guo asked, but Yang Xiaotao shook his head and watched from a distance.

"Uncle Sun, tell the people behind to stay away and just finish this."

"Also tell them that we will go to the village tomorrow and tell them not to worry."

"By the way, all the wheat must be weighed and the time must be recorded."

Sun Guo agreed immediately and asked someone to notify the security department. Tian Hui at the side immediately found someone to prepare for the weighing.

Taking advantage of this time, Yang Xiaotao and Sun Guo went to the office and sat for a while, asking about the production process and understanding the situation.

When I came back, the farmers in the workshop had left.

Not only did they take away the harvested wheat grains, but they also took back the hills of wheat straw, and the site was cleaned up.

He is indeed a qualified farmer.

When he came to the thresher, Yang Xiaotao took out his glasses and walked around the machine twice. After confirming that it was designed and manufactured according to his drawings, he nodded with satisfaction.

"Comrades, you have done a great job in producing a finished product in such a short time. I will report this to my superiors and ask for credit for you."

Yang Xiaotao said without hesitation.

The assurance given to Zhou Shenghong earlier was to encourage him.

The guarantee in front of us is a reward for a branch factory.

"It's all thanks to Mr. Yang's design. Without your design drawings, we wouldn't be able to make it."

Sun Guo was humble at this time, but he was telling the truth.

If Yang Xiaotao had handed the drawings to the main factory, it would probably have been made by now.

"Yes, Mr. Yang, it should be our branch that thanks you. Without your help, we would not be able to do it at all."

"Yes, it is us who thank you."

Several people around were talking politely under the leadership of Sun Guo. Yang Xiaotao waved his hand and said, "You guys contributed a lot here, otherwise it wouldn't have been completed so quickly."

"This is a win-win cooperation for us. No one can be missing."

With Yang Xiaotao saying this, the credit was set in stone, and in all likelihood, the production of threshers would be the responsibility of their branch factory in the future.

Thinking of this, everyone laughed even more happily.

"By the way, Mr. Yang, this is the time and weight we recorded."

"Because we started from the middle, we didn't round it up, so from the time of recording to now, it is one hour and nineteen minutes."

Tian Hui took out a notebook and wrote down the time on it, with a row of numbers next to it. He basically weighed each bag after finishing it.

"Of course, the operation was not very skilled and some of it was not delivered. The total weight was 1,965 kilograms."

"If a skilled operator were to operate it, they would probably be able to produce about a ton of steel per hour."

Tian Hui said firmly that after all, workers are not farmers, there are problems with coordination, and there is a section in the middle that was not supplied.

"One ton per hour. If the current yield per mu is 300 to 400 kilograms, that would be five or six mu of land."

An old worker nearby exclaimed immediately, and then calculated, "A large village has 300 to 400 acres of land, and a small village has 200 to 300 acres. Let's calculate it based on 300 acres. Five acres per hour, and the workers take a break but the machines don't stop. If they work for ten hours a day, that's 50 acres. 300 acres can be completed in less than a week."

"If we had two, we could do it in three days."

As soon as the old worker finished speaking, someone shouted, "Old Liu, you calculated wrong. It's still ten hours. We have to work 24 hours a day to get it done in two days."

"Yes, at most three days. One machine is enough."

"If it were in the past, it would take at least ten days to half a month from cutting to drying."

"Yes, it takes the whole village to do this."

Several older workers immediately popularized agricultural knowledge to the young workers. Everyone was shocked but more than happy.

The thresher they produced is so powerful.

According to this calculation, one thresher for each village is enough.

Yang Xiaotao listened to everyone's calculations and also had a scale in his mind.

He remembered that Yang Dazhuang had told him that there were only about 300 acres of land in the village for growing wheat, and due to the lack of chemical fertilizers, the yield per acre did not exceed 400 kilograms.

According to this calculation, the function of this thresher is equivalent to that of hundreds of laborers in a village.

"Mr. Yang!"

Just when Yang Xiaotao was lost in thought, Sun Guo came up to him and held his hand with great excitement.

"Last time, because of Yu Haitang's incident, our first branch lost face."

"Boss Yang, thank you. Thank you for setting the stage for us to make a comeback at our branch."
