Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 590 Test Strength Achieves Target
Therefore, whether the strength of the cableway can meet the standard is the most important part of the cable car.

After listening to Qin Feng's description, Wei Quanyou naturally patted his chest. Such a thing is not difficult for him, it is nothing more than creating some strong enough steel cables.

"My lord, don't worry, this matter will be handed over to me."

Since Wei Quan was patted on his chest, of course Qin Feng entrusted the matter to him with confidence.

As for Qin Feng himself, he didn't have any, so he just took a break, first he brought the entire county annals of Yuchun City from Yang Ruchun, intending to look at various situations in the city.

County annals often record many important information such as local prices and people. These things may not be useful to others, but they are of great use to Qin Feng.

Only by better understanding the basic situation of the people can we understand the needs of the people and what the people can do.

Qin Feng didn't fall asleep all night. In order to study these materials, he read through the county annals of the past ten years from beginning to end.

When he walked out of the room with red eyes the next morning, he found that Wei Quanyou was approaching his room.

"My lord, I have already finished the steel cables you asked me to build last night, do you want to come and see?"

When he said this, Qin Feng was naturally surprised. He didn't expect that Wei Quanyou's efficiency was faster than he imagined.

Under the leadership of Wei Quanyou, Qin Feng came to the newly built Dexian Building by Wei Quanyou.

You can see from here that there are many blacksmiths around, but under Zhu Yue's leadership, they are all busy with their own affairs in an orderly manner.

In fact, there is nothing to be busy now, it is nothing more than renovating the place, but Wei Quanyou's stove has already been cleaned up by himself.

Qin Feng doesn't have any production plans for the time being, and he didn't bring the lathes he made in Beihai before, so according to Qin Feng, he will let Wei Quanyou rebuild the lathes at that time. Produce it again.

But now he still has to look at the specific situation of the cable car.

The steel cable developed by Wei Quanyou is just like what Qin Feng imagined. There are many thin iron wires twisted together, and finally become a thicker steel cable.

"My lord, I made the steel cable according to your requirements, but I don't know if its quality is up to standard."

"It's simple, just try it."

Qin Feng said unhurriedly. According to his idea, after the cable car is built, there will be a huge iron box similar to an elevator. People stand in the iron box, as long as they control the switch, they can go Sliding down the wire.

In this way, people can quickly travel long distances on the steel cable.

But before that, the load-bearing capacity of the cable is the most critical indicator. If the cable breaks after installing a few people, it is not so much for the convenience of others as it is for killing people.

The weight of the entire cable car box plus the people sitting in it will be about one thousand catties, but Qin Feng's requirement is at least two thousand catties.

On the one hand, these steel cables themselves have their own weight. Although it is said that nothing can be seen in a short distance, once the distance is extended to several kilometers or even tens of thousands of meters, it will be different.

The gravity of the steel cable itself will bring a huge burden to itself, so if the quality of the steel cable is not up to standard, it is very likely to cause the steel cable to break.

But who is Wei Quanyou? Of course, his skills in this area are very strong, so after receiving Qin Feng's order, he quickly had his own ideas.

Under Qin Feng's gaze, Wei Quanyou came to this huge courtyard and tied the steel cables to the courtyard walls on both sides.

Although the courtyard wall is not big, if it is directly stretched diagonally, it will be about 500 meters.

After Wei Quanyou fixed the steel cables at both ends of the courtyard wall, he also hung an iron bucket on it.

To measure the quality of the steel cable, of course, its load-bearing capacity must be tested first. Wei Quan put iron ingots into the iron bucket one by one. These iron ingots are the raw materials used by blacksmiths to make various utensils.

When iron ore is in the mine, it will be processed and refined into steel, and then made into square iron ingots and sold.

As a result, the weights of these iron ingots are naturally almost the same.

Wei Quan counted bit by bit, and when the weight finally reached two thousand catties, he raised his head and took a look at the steel cable.

Under the strong gravity, the steel cable has already been bent and deformed, and some fragments can be vaguely seen at both ends of the courtyard wall.

In other words, this force is enough to collapse the outer wall of the courtyard wall.

Seeing this scene, Qin Feng nodded in satisfaction, signaling Wei Quanyou to stop.

"That's right, but it's only 500 meters. If you extend this length several times or even ten digits, you will face even greater difficulties."

"So I think you can make these cables a little bit thicker."

"In addition, I will give you a design drawing of the cable car first, and we will find a way to make one first."

As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. Qin Feng has never taken a cable car before, so he might as well try to make one first. As long as he is sure that there is no problem when using it, then he doesn’t have to worry about other things.

But Wei Quanyou shook his head at this moment: "My lord, although I know the standard of this thing, it is still quite difficult to produce it."

"Oh, are you in any trouble? Just say it."

"My lord, the quality of the iron ingots in Yunnan Province is not good enough, and there are even a lot of impurities in them. If you want to make steel cables, it will take a lot of time just to refine them."

"If you really want to do what you say, it is very likely that a lot of energy will be wasted."

"But if we can go to the mine to ask them for some refined iron ingots, we can save a lot of effort."

"I see, you first make a few test items according to my request."

Qin Feng nodded. This is nothing more than a technical reform issue in the mine, so of course it is not difficult for Qin Feng.

"Tomorrow, I will go to the nearest mines around and look for it to see if I can find what you want."

He kept this matter in his heart, and then left from Dexian Building.

He believed that with Wei Quan's ability, he would definitely be able to do this well.

As for myself, as long as Wei Quanyou's requirements are met.

Thinking of this, he sent someone to send a letter to Yang Ruchun. The content of the letter was roughly to ask Yang Ruchun about the mines around Yuchun City.
