The most important thing is that everyone was tired at that time, and the mechanical group had to accept the reality at that moment, after all, it was really tiring to rely on manual harvesting of sugarcane, and Boss Luo They had not done this kind of work and had personal experience, so in those days, the mechanical group reluctantly began to mobilize all the resources in the cave to build sugarcane harvesters.

Sure enough, the equipment capacity of the mechanical group is very strong, and after working in the cave for a while, the sugarcane harvester was finally built, but it also consumed a lot of process materials.

Later, the mechanical group did not withstand the pressure, agreed to the requirements of Wang Xue engineer, assembled and processed two winches, and now Wang Xue presided over the assembly and production of two wharf winches put into use, which did greatly reduce the labor intensity of all people, and also greatly improved the efficiency of cargo loading and unloading.

Since the immediate benefits are obvious, so all kinds of requirements for the mechanical group to enable processing equipment, the production of this production that is also increasing, even if some of the requirements are quite short-sighted, but can blow the chaff to get the actual effect, the temptation for everyone is great, as for the so-called "long-term interests, fundamental interests" or something, or put it aside for the time being......

So the project of the human-powered rail car was launched, however, Boss Luo also has their own small abacus, first, they asked for labor, which is a reasonable request, and finally the mechanical group obtained six selected strong laborers, obviously these labor force is not used to operate machine tools, these people are handymen, the main work is to carry and clean, usually to the members of the mechanical team.

Sure enough, everything is easy to do with the labor force, and after a brief discussion among the members of the mechanical team, it was decided to imitate a lever-assisted rail car, which is usually operated by four people, and two people can operate it when the load capacity is not large. The railcar is designed to weigh less than 150 kilograms, and can be carried away by a few men working together, and then put it on the required rails and ready to run, lightweight and easy to operate.

While this vehicle looks good from the blueprints, there is a major bottleneck – bearings.

After discussing with Boss Luo, they decided to take this opportunity to take bearing production as a starting point to officially and comprehensively launch the "Industrial Machine Localization Replacement" plan proposed by Boss Luo earlier.

For this reason, around the production of bearings, the mechanical group has opened a large number of mechanical processing equipment in the cave.

These include a pier forging machine for the manufacture of bearings and a set of heat treatment, quenching and tempering furnaces, as well as a variety of gold processing equipment, including ordinary 20/30/50 lathes, semi-automatic hydraulic multi-tool lathes, etc., which are standard equipment for the production of general industrial bearings.

In addition, there are internal and external cylindrical grinders, vertical drilling machines and supporting grease injection machines and other equipment, plus a variety of measuring tools and testing tools that others can't name, what inner and outer diameter measuring instruments, hardness testers, calipers, micrometers, depth rulers, pipe rulers, altimeters and so on.

In addition to the fact that the bearing was a bit of a hassle, the crankshaft was also a bit of a pain in the face, as it required the use of steel brought from the old world from the cave.

As for the manufacture of other aspects of the rail car, there is no difficulty, anyway, the load capacity of the human-powered rail car is not large, and the good steel in the cave does not need to be used, and the iron bars bought by the fleet from the Sulu country a while ago are completely competent, and the car body is connected by riveting, and the precious welding rods and welding machines in the cave do not need to be consumed and worn.

So, Boss Luo led his mechanical team members to take this as a starting point and finally started their machinery industry localization replication business.

Soon after, the ready-made steam engines and various motors in the cave were also opened, and a mechanical processing plant with a considerable scale was established outside the cave, and Boss Luo gave this machinery factory a name - Shuguang Machinery Factory, which was the predecessor of the famous brand enterprise - "Federal Shuguang Machinery".

The construction and installation of the equipment at the machine factory was undertaken by the crew, who, with the help of construction machinery and vehicles, completed the infrastructure project in only 20 days.

Looking at the factory that has begun to take shape, the members of the mechanical team are very excited, and they have already said that if they get some labor support, they will use all the lathes, mills, grinders, and drilling machines in the cave within a few months to build a formal and all-round comprehensive mechanical processing plant.

Boss Luo announced at a regular plenary meeting that if through the production of trade or metallurgical group, they can continue to get copper, iron and other raw materials for the machinery factory, and at the same time, Mr. Zhao can provide industrial lubricants and other auxiliary materials to the machinery group, they can make any process equipment you need--- of course, the complexity can not exceed such things as rickshaw rail cars.

As for more complex production equipment and means of transport, of course, machine factories can also be built, but not now.

The members of the mechanical group declared that they would give them one to two years, and they would fully replicate the second generation of industrial machine tools, as long as all kinds of raw materials could be supplied, within three years, they would be able to make the steam engine, at least the Stirling engine, and within five years, they would be able to copy the third generation of processing equipment with the second belt industrial machine tools, and then the operation of those third generation equipment would be completely based on the process conditions of the New World, and at that time, as long as it was a product of the first industrial revolution, what do you wantWe can all figure it out for you, but of course, there may be some discounts on quality and performance.

At this moment, there are no people in the audience who think that the mechanical group is bragging, because the mechanical group has received the most assistance from Anna, the most complete equipment, and the number of various tools and auxiliary materials, knives and grinding tools is very large.

Of course, this is premised on an adequate supply of materials and auxiliary materials, as well as a workforce, which also includes the training of qualified machine operators.

In this way, since then, the mechanical group has really embarked on the road of "equipment localization" represented by cement as the machine tool base, and later, they use the machine in the cave to copy the equipment more and more "because of the ugly", although in the end there is no and development to the point that all the machine tool bases are cement, but it does conform to the four words "because of the ugly".

However, relying on this line of thinking, the mechanical group finally completed the planned three generations of replication, and after a few years, they finally fully realized the localization of the machinery industry.

It's just that what everyone doesn't know is that the "localization industrial revolution" that started with the production of bearings lasted not five years, but lasted about fifteen years, and it was only then that they completed the localization plan of the machinery industry.

At this moment, the plans of the chemical group are as ambitious as those of the mechanical group, and they intend to start the localization of the chemical industry with coal dry distillation as a starting point.

The chemical industry is the foundation of industrial construction, which is the consensus of all traversers.

To this end, Zhao Xihe said that the chemical group should strive to produce kerosene and several known bulk organic chemical products in coal tar on a trial basis within half a year. These include several basic organic chemical raw materials for the manufacture of drugs, and they even plan to make plastics incidentally. Of course, they haven't forgotten the most important thing - **.

Regarding the chemical equipment in the cave, the chemical team plans to cooperate with the mechanical team, use the materials of the new world, and copy it simply because of the ugliness.

As for the metallurgical group, their replication plan is much slower and more difficult, because of the problem of mechanical manufacturing capacity, even if it is a miniature metallurgical equipment, it is very difficult to copy.

However, the determination of the metallurgical group is still very large, and they plan to rely on their own strength as much as possible to give priority to the development of the foundry industry after the successful operation of the iron smelting furnace and pyrite boiling furnace.
