Chapter 53
"Huh?" Angus looked at Luo Heng in astonishment, why was he so sure.
Luo Heng looked at Angus with a smile and said, "Actually, it's analyzed." ”
"Our territory is not large, but the armed defense is very strong, unless it is a frontal attack, but this possibility is not very likely, then if you want to sneak attack our territory, you need a chance. Luo Heng opened his mouth to analyze.
Angus nodded when he heard this, and Luo Heng said again: "Then what opportunity is there in our territory? ”
Angus immediately understood: "Harvesting grain is indeed a good opportunity. ”
"If someone wants to act, then Jon, a magician, will definitely find a way to transfer away, a war magician, no one wants to provoke. Angus spoke.
"What shall we do, Lord Duke?" asked Angus, with some eagerness.
"Quite simply, we give them the opportunity to show up at the point we planned, and of course they may ignore it. Luo Heng said.
Angus gradually realized what Luo Heng said, in fact, Luo Heng's approach is a way of war, that is, don't let the opponent pull you into his plan, when everyone is not ready, do it, anyway, you are not ready.
"And over the altar?" Angus asked.
"Not for now, you need to step up your training with Walker and Hulk, and I'd love to know how our opponent will look at the two giant warriors. Luo Heng shrugged and said.
When Angus heard this, he also looked expectant: "I'm looking forward to it too." ”
Since he didn't have time to go to the altar, and there was still about a month before the grain harvest, Luo Heng was ready to make harvesting equipment.
Since wheat is planted, making a wheat thresher has become Luo Heng's recent task.
However, Luo Heng is not ready to make a small thresher now, because it is not suitable, the farms in this world are very large, and they used to be harvested and threshed manually.
In fact, from another point of view, the basis for the leap of civilization is the improvement of basic productive forces.
Some people say that the firearms of the Ming Dynasty were already very powerful, so why not equip them on a large scale? Especially when the country was about to die, it was because corruption was one thing, and the other was external and internal troubles.
The reason why the civilization of this world has been stagnant for so many years is because the civilization of this world is biased, and magic is a bottomless pit, and magic is like a monster that absorbs all the remaining funds.
Just like the imperial examination of a certain dynasty, the emphasis is on literature and light on military force, and the final result is collapse.
Fortunately, the magic-related things in this world are very powerful in combat, otherwise they would have been overthrown eight hundred times.
Luo Heng soaked in the forging workshop by himself, Harding and Sodin were in charge of porcelain research and firing, the two dwarves were already crazy about the research of porcelain, and they had to experiment with any material, temperature, material, Luo Heng asked the two to make data records.
"Two meters long, one and a half meters wide, and three meters high. "What Luo Heng prepared was not a fully mechanized harvester, but a semi-manual one, which could be carried by a carriage, harvested manually, and the harvested ones were thrown into the machine for threshing.
The thresher is divided into several parts, the first is the power part, Luo Heng is ready to use animal power to propulse, manpower to propulsion.
As for the steam engine, Luo Heng didn't plan to open this technology, because it meant the loss of the dwarves in forging technology, the machine that could beat evenly and non-stop, and what else did the dwarves do Although forging is not the only one, forging is very important.
"The thresher is divided into crushing, screening, and the two parts are used with each other...... Gearing. Luo Heng began to design, and the thresher was very simple.
The shell is made of wood, the internal non-crushed part, as well as the screen, the transmission part is made of metal, and the rest is made of wood.
Mainly to reduce the selling price, refined iron, that is, steel, is also very expensive in this world.
If a large amount of refined iron is used, then this big guy will need at least thousands of gold coins, and a good horse will only have many gold coins, and a slave will only have many gold coins.
Inputs and outputs must be profitable in order to have room for development.
Moreover, some wood is much harder than plastic, and if a large amount of fine iron is used, the last few tons may be used to make weapons or something.
It is a combine harvester, as long as it is not a computer model, Luo Heng can make it by hand, but there is no oil in this world so far, so what is the role of the internal combustion engine, of course alcohol can, but alcohol is only edible alcohol, uh, it is better to use a steam engine, but there is no coal, the role of the steam engine is honest, and the cost performance is not high.
The development of different civilizations is determined by their own resources.
Of course, if you want to say that the civilization level is low, it is not the case, the high-level magicians here can fly, and the high-level warriors can also fly.
The drum inside the shredder, as well as the impeller of the fan, are made of wood.
Therefore, it is necessary to forge, cast gears, bearings, and other things, and to bear large forces, in addition to being as simple as possible, easy to maintain, repair, and so on.
Luo Heng was alone, and it took him thirteen days to assemble a very ugly guy, which looked like a wooden shelf with different things on it.
Luo Heng pushed the power system, a big flywheel-like thing, under the flywheel is the transmission shaft, which is made of fine iron, the wire screen, also made of fine iron, and the rest can be made of cast iron.
There is no need for a gear lever or anything like that, one inlet, two or three outlets, one out of intact grain, one out of grain and the like, and one is the export of forage after screening.
"There's also the problem, the speed is too slow. Luo Heng experimented and found that the rotation speed was too slow, and the crushing effect of the slow rotation speed was reduced.
Luo Heng had to improve the transmission system, and experimented again three days later, but seeing the speed of the two horses, Luo Heng was silent.
"Do you have to have a steam engine?" The steam engine is definitely a big guy to make, and it adds more cost.
Luo Heng decided to find a way from the transmission aspect, which was nothing more than the size of the gear, and then increased the number of livestock.
For more than 20 days in a row, except for Alicia, no one else knew what Luo Heng was doing, three cows or three horses pushed the turntable, and the transmission shaft under the turntable transmitted the power to the machinery next to it.
The mechanical outer skin is made of wooden planks, and the inner frame is made entirely of wood except for the addition of metal components in the stressed area.
Luo Heng personally cut a cart of wheat and came back, the wheat is now filled, but it is not fully ripe, if this kind of wheat can be threshed, then there is absolutely no problem with ripe wheat.
After the sound of clattering, Alicia was on the side of the wheat grains, and saw the green grains, some of which were broken, and because of the two screening processes, the cleanliness of the wheat grains was very high.
"Success!" Luo Heng increased the amount of transportation and found that there was no problem at all.
"It's so sweet. Alicia took a bite of the green wheat and squinted her eyes.
