Three Kingdoms: Liu Daer Was Forced Out of the Mountain at the Beginning - Chapter 1356
Remember [New] for a second,! Just like Treasurer Qian and the others, the nobles in Yecheng have gathered to discuss the matter of Cao Pi being canonized as the crown prince today.
However, the content of their discussions is very different from that of the money shopkeeper.
The Yecheng nobles were more concerned about the question of how to join Cao Pi’s command.
Like ordinary nobles, they have no right to speak in the court. Even when Cao Zhi and Cao Pi are fighting for the crown prince, they will not consider trying to win over them.
Therefore, after the result of the battle for the prince comes out, we must seek the greatest benefit for ourselves.
These little clansmen had to take the initiative to get close to Cao Pi.
In the days that followed, the shopkeeper Zhao, who ran the antique shop of calligraphy and painting, got busy again…
Hanzhong.
Bai Feng was inspecting the mine, accompanied by Zhang Ning and the ploughing pillar.
The second steam train has been put into service at the mine after a final inspection.
The blasting operation interval of the mine is now 30% higher than the previous frequency.
To be honest, the carrying capacity of the two steam trains is a bit excess so far.
Because the number of miners in the mine has not increased, loading and unloading ore is all physical work.
It is good to say that it is possible to get a steam train, but the two do make the miners feel a little overwhelmed.
It’s just that Bai Feng does not want to continue to increase the number of miners in the mine.
Now that the steam train has been put into use, can more machinery be used to reduce the labor of the miners?
This is the question Bai Feng has been thinking about these days.
The main reason was also because the last lottery had consumed most of the remaining reputation points.
Although because the steam train was tested in Hanzhong City this time, Bai Feng’s reputation value rose a lot again.
But Bai Feng still wants to keep these reputation points, and use these reputation points when encountering problems that are difficult to solve with the existing conditions.
“My plan is to build a conveyor belt powered by a steam engine.”
“In the future, miners only need to put the ore on the conveyor belt, and then the conveyor belt will send the ore into the carriage.”
Looking at Bai Feng, who was sweating like rain and filling the carriage with ore, he said to Geng Zhuzi.
The idea of the conveyor belt is what Bai Feng came up with.
And according to the existing conditions at hand, it is possible to manufacture a conveyor belt that can be used in a short time.
Geng Zhuzi on the side wrote down all Bai Feng’s thoughts.
“Sir, this conveyor belt idea is very good.”
“There is no problem with the steam engine as a power source, but what is used to make this belt for conveying ore?”
After recording, Geng Zhuzi asked Bai Feng.
This problem is also bothering Bai Feng now.
Now he doesn’t have the ability to mine and refine oil, so plastic-related products don’t need to be thought about.
There is no rubber in use now. If you want to use rubber, you have to wait for the Yamatai side to complete the construction of the lucky boat and go out to find it.
“I’m also thinking about how to solve this conveyor belt problem…”
After Bai Feng heard the words, he had no choice but to tell Geng Zhuzi the truth, because he really had no good ideas at the moment.
It’s definitely not possible to use cloth.
Not to mention the issue of cost, let’s just say that if linen is used as a conveyor belt, the conveyor belt may need to be replaced a day.
Bai Feng could not accept this loss rate.
It’s not because of how expensive linen is, since the advent of the steam loom, linen has been cheap to produce for Bai Feng.
The efficiency of just using linen to make a conveyor belt may not catch up with the efficiency of replacing the conveyor belt.
This can affect the operation of the mine too much.
Geng Zhuzi nodded when he heard the words, it seems that they need to find the answer to this question.
After Xiang Gengzhuzi explained the arrangement of the conveying machines and conveyor belts, Bai Feng and Zhang Ning learned about the recent production data of the mine.
“Sir, this is the iron ore and smelted iron ingots produced by the mines in the last half month. Please take a look.”
Zhang Ning handed the prepared report to Bai Feng.
After Bai Feng took the report, he nodded with satisfaction after reading it.
“Very good, the production efficiency of the mine is good now.”
“After the conveyor belt is manufactured, the current production efficiency can be improved by at least 20%.”
“Also, the number of blast furnaces for smelting ore is already somewhat insufficient. At that time, we will arrange for more people to build more blast furnaces.”
“It doesn’t matter if it’s empty now, it will be put into use soon.”
Then Bai Feng told Zhang Ning.
The steam train is a very useful means of transportation for Bai Feng. Under the condition of ensuring sufficient steel output, Bai Feng can use this to produce more machinery.
This will allow Hanzhong to enter a positive cycle of development.
“Okay sir, I remember.”
After Zhang Ning heard the words, he wrote down all Bai Feng’s requests in the notebook, and then smiled at Bai Feng.
After Bai Feng arranged the next part of the mine, he went to the R&D center with Geng Zhuzi.
Inside the R&D center, a third steam train is being built.
Different from the manufacturing method of the first two steam trains, the latest steam train has begun to adopt the method of production line manufacturing.
Except for the twenty craftsmen brought by Pu Yuan and Ma Jun.
Geng Zhuzi also selected 30 experienced craftsmen from the steam engine production line to participate in the construction of the steam train production line.
Now there are more than 50 craftsmen in the entire steam train manufacturing plant, and the efficiency has also been greatly improved.
After the steam train production line can be officially put into operation, Bai Feng will carry out his next plan.
Bai Feng, who came to the R&D center, once again communicated with Geng Zhuzi about the manufacture of conveyor belts.
“…. After finding a material that is wear-resistant enough ~www.mtlnovel.com~ the problem of the conveyor belt is solved more than half.”
“The rest of the manufacturing of the transmission machine, I believe it will not be a problem with your research.”
Bai Feng has already handed over the sketches he drew about the teleportation machine to Geng Zhuzi.
After instructing to plough the pillars, Bai Feng learned about the construction of steam train production.
With the efforts of Geng Zhuzi, Ma Jun and Pu Yuan, the steam train production line is in full swing.
According to the speculation of farming pillars, it only takes about one and a half months to complete.
After leaving the R&D center, Bai Feng returned directly to the mansion.
After returning to the mansion, he saw Cao Jie holding a letter and waiting for him.
“Husband, the letter from Manager Chen is about the crown prince.”
Seeing Bai Feng coming back, Cao Jie handed the letter to Bai Feng and said.
Bai Feng opened the letter and read it with Cao Jie.
