Chapter 59 Burning Bricks and the Wheelbarrow

People showed great enthusiasm for this brick machine. Even when it was dinner time, many people still lingered around it.They talked excitedly about every part of this unprecedented machinery, from the waterwheel to the hoist, and because of this interest, even making bricks became a proud occupation.Of course, those young people who participated in the whole construction process are the happiest among them. This creation also has its own credit for appearing in the world. This kind of glory is unmatched by anything else.

When they spent most of the day assembling this machine, another group of people also adjusted the large amount of soil transported here with water.As a result, the stamping machine with sufficient raw materials has been operating unhurriedly, producing bricks at a speed of 40 per minute. After a few hours, four low walls have been stacked on the nearby land.Needless to say, most people know that these bricks are used to build buildings, but before they can be used, they need to be fired.

The person in charge of this work obeyed Yun Shen's instructions, and built these mud blocks, which were only adobe bricks, in rows and piled them up to form a wall of a certain height.As far as the general process is concerned, these adobes should be dried for a certain period of time, and it is not acceptable to directly fire them into a kiln, but there is not much time left for Yunshen. These bricks are very important for the next work. After consideration, He asked people to set up fires on both sides of the brick wall to dry the moisture in the bricks by roasting.Speaking of fuel, after collecting these few days, the firewood has been fully prepared.

The fire was carefully tended and was not extinguished all night.By the next morning, apart from some adobes that had been cracked and needed to be smashed and remade, there were already tens of thousands of quick-finished products available for Yunshen to use.Yun Shen asked people to use these adobes to build a small earthen kiln. They stacked these adobes in rows around firewood to form a cube, leaving a few ventilation holes on the outer layer, sealing it with soil, and pulling out the bottom of one side. Several holes for fuel filling.After the brick kiln is ignited, the adobes made by the brick making machine do not need to be processed quickly, but are stacked staggered nearby to form a series of earthen walls, which are air-dried in a natural way.

It was the morning of the fourth day, and the charcoal kiln was finally dug. Bundles of arms-thick, sawn branches of similar length were filled in. This job did not require Yun Shen to intervene at all. The survivors have the habit of burning charcoal for the winter every year. , which you're comfortable with.The bridging team led by Luo Jiang hadn't reached half of the progress, they just laid a few wooden piles in the shallow water, so Yunshen came to the logging camp through the pontoon bridge.

Shouts were heard from afar, and loggers in pairs sawed back and forth, sawing trees with a DBH of more than [-] centimeters from the base until only a layer of bark remained. The crown gradually tilted to one side, rattling, During this period of time, the loggers who have learned experience already know how to judge the direction of the falling tree and warn others not to approach with their voices.Another tree fell with a thud, and the others who were waiting moved around and began clearing the crown with their handsaws.It was near there that Yun Shen found Hande, the leader of the Merk tribe.

Because of labor, Patriarch Han De, who was naked from the upper body in the early morning chill, was steaming from the top of his head, and he was surprised by Yun Shen's arrival.After looking at the surrounding environment with some embarrassment, he asked the black-haired magician to sit on a nearby tree stump, and after sitting down, he asked, "Master, do you need anything?"

"I want to ask you to help me make this." Yun Shen said, and then took out a few blueprints.So far, although Yunshen has basically been able to speak Mandarin fluently, the learning of characters has just started.Fortunately, there is a language that can be used regardless of nationality and the world, and Yunshen happens to have a considerable level of drawing skills. He wants them to make very simple things. After having concise and intuitive pictures, there is no need to work hard. Described in redundant places.

Hande took the blueprint carefully. At first, he read it backwards, and only after being reminded by Yun Shen did he correct it.The brown-haired patriarch looked at it for a while, and then asked hesitantly, "Master, is this...?"

"'Unicycle'." Yun Shen replied in his own words.

Hande repeated the word awkwardly. Their language didn't have tongue-rolling pronunciation, so he could only imitate it to about [-]%. "——Sorcerer, is this something that can move?"

Yun Shen nodded, "Please help me find some people who are more skilled in using saws."

It was not difficult to find such a person. Hande quickly called several people, two of whom were survivors.Then these people, including Han De, followed Yun Shen to the wood pile.The sawn logs were piled up in several piles according to their diameter at breast height. Yun Shen looked up and down for a while, and selected two logs with a diameter at breast height of about 50 cm, and asked them to saw several sections from these two logs.

In just a few days, it is completely impossible to have skilled carpenters, but their advantage is that they have a clear plan and tools from the beginning, and there are enough raw materials to choose from.People spent most of the day, scrapping some wood, and finally turned the seemingly simple thing on the drawing into reality. A wheelbarrow finally stood in front of everyone successfully.

A round hole is cut in the middle of the wooden wheel sawn from the log, and a hard wooden axle passes through. In order to prevent the wheel from shifting during rolling, the frames on both sides are very close to the axle, and no one is used. Nails and ladder-shaped wheels are also made of mortise and tenon joints between timbers.The unplaned vehicle looks really rough and bulky, but the unicycle itself is also a novelty for the people here.Except for Yunshen, everyone who participated in the production tried to lift the handlebar, and then pushed it forward and backward, and the wooden axles rubbed against each other, making a creaking sound. No one will laugh at this.

However, what Yunshen asked them to make was not a toy. In order to test the capacity of this transportation tool, Yunshen asked them to load stones on the vehicle and gradually increase its load to see how much it would affect the operation of this small vehicle.

In addition to woodworking tools such as chisels, Yunshen also brought a 500g weighing hammer, and made a wooden scale on the spot by using the principle of leverage. Under the premise of tripping, this kind of wooden unicycle can transport about 50 kilograms of goods at a time, and the adult men of the survivors with the strongest strength among all tribes can trek with a load of 60 kilograms for a day, and it is considered very good to be close to this figure.Although its durability is still uncertain, it is obviously an easy-to-handle and very adaptable means of transportation in various environments.

After seeing the magical machine created by the operator yesterday, this small car also brought surprises to the logging team.It's just that the logs that need to be transported here are all thick logs, and an average of seven or eight people are needed to lift them to the storage place. This kind of small cart can only be used to load things like cleared branches.

After writing down a few numbers in his notebook, Yun Shen asked Han De, "Patriarch Han De, if I want 40 wheelbarrows, how long will it take you to complete?"

Hande thought for a while, "...15 days?"

Yun Shen shook his head lightly, and Han De thought about it again with a little embarrassment, "I asked people from two teams to do this, and it can be done in about 8 days."

"We can change the way." Yun Shen said, "Everyone has seen the process just now, I left the ruler and pencil, and the size used just now has been marked with color, so it doesn't matter if you don't recognize the number You disassemble this wheelbarrow, divide it into various parts, process the wood at the same position according to the size marked on the ruler, make 50 parts of each part with the same size as possible, and then assemble them Get up, this way the speed will be faster." After a pause, he said, "I'll give you 3 days." And 20% redundancy.

Patriarch Han De's eyes widened, and Yun Shen smiled and handed him the completed blueprint, "Don't worry, I believe you can do it."

Hande could only silently put away the blueprints, but there was really no place to put things on his body, and blueprints could not be folded, and he was afraid of water and fire, so Yun Shen put a wire on the bark and made him a folder.

"The bark of that kind of tree should have been collected a lot by now?"

"Yes. If you need it, I'll have someone deliver it for you?" Hande replied as he took the folder with a slightly touched expression.

"I brought a porter here, no need." Yun Shen smiled.In order to ensure that he has enough people to dispatch when he needs them, Li Hong, who assisted him in mobilizing manpower, has already made preparations. As soon as Yun Shen leaves his tent, there will be more than a dozen followers around him automatically, not to mention the kind The bark of the birch tree itself is not heavy, and it is not difficult for the survivors with great strength to carry them.

The bark was piled up near his residence.Standing in front of these brown bark, Yun Shen pondered for a while.

For an engineer with a lot of work experience, various mechanics and engineering principles have already been deeply rooted in his mind, and the simplified mechanical design of the hydraulic stamping machine is not a problem at all—after the Nanshan patriarch got the map from the werewolf knight, he I had some preliminary plans, so I ordered tons of parts from Taobao sellers who sell various specifications of gear bearings and other parts.However, shipbuilding and the like are relatively unfamiliar to him, although what he needs now is a bark boat that has been extremely simplified and requires short-term use.

... Let's try every solution.

So Yun Shen found some things he thought would be useful from the tent, and started to try out his new plan with the men from the bereaved family who followed him beside the bark pile.Before they knew it, children surrounded them.According to Yunshen's rules, children under the age of ten are not included in the labor force, and those over the age of seven can help the women who are in charge of cooking with a little help, and those under this age are temporarily unable to help others. The busy old people tended near the camp, while the younger ones were looked after by nursing women in special tents.There is no need to travel long distances, but after a few days of rest and relatively sufficient food for recuperation every day, the children who survived the journey gradually regained the vitality they should have at this age, and there was a lot of laughter in the camp.But even though they haven't reached the age of real understanding, these curious children didn't dare to disturb the adults who were doing things, they just squatted quietly nearby, looking like a group of well-behaved puppies.

Yun Shen paused his work and looked up at these ragged children.Cloth is very rare for these tribes. The children of the survivors have linen underwear, but the children of some tribes only have short skirts and jackets wrapped in animal skins, whether they are linen or have not been tanned. Animal skins made of high-grade animal skins have little effect on keeping warm.

This area is rich in natural resources. As long as there is enough time, Yunshen can use various local resources to solve most of the difficulties faced by this tribe.Although it is still the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, the weather is sunny with high sky and light clouds, and the temperature at night will drop to close to zero before dawn.People who are still living in groups can rely on each other's body temperature to resist in the tent, and after working during the day, the heat automatically emitted by the body will dispel the cold, but this is still only a temporary solution.

The inaudible footsteps came from far to near, and a shadow covered them, blocking the sunlight on the heads of several children. The children who had lost their warmth looked up and found a tall man behind him at some point.After being glanced at calmly, these children got up from the ground one after another and scattered around.

The young man who can produce a dispelling effect with just one face walked towards Yunshen, and said, "They have arrived."
