The next day, early in the morning, Xiao Ran instructed the ants to put aside the handling of sugarcane. He had never dreamed since he became an ant, and he didn't expect the first dream to be so peculiar.

Xiao Ran thought to himself, the wizard can tell the hexagram, maybe he can tell the reason, so Xiao Ran found the wizard and asked the wizard to help solve the dream.

The wizard took out three grass seeds, and in the same way as last time, he held them in his mouth at the same time and threw them upwards with all his might. The direction of the three grass seeds was chaotic, and the wizard carefully looked at the grass seeds for a long time, and said to Xiao Ran:

"Ahem...... Hexagrams do not explain the dream. Ahem......"

Could it be that he could only predict things related to the Xuan Empire? Xiao Ran was suspicious again.

After asking the wizard to no avail, Xiao Ran decided to personally lead the ants to the mouth of the mountain spring to see what was going on. This time, Xiao Ran brought enough troops.

When he arrived at the mouth of the mountain spring, Xiao Ran saw that there was indeed another giant crab here, and when the giant crab saw the ants, he became manic, looking like he wanted revenge. Could it really be the younger brother of the previous Cancer? This dream is indeed a revelation!

"Rattan pepper!" Xiao Ran shouted in whiskers.

"In!"

"Do you know what to do?"

"Yes!"

Rattan Pepper is familiar with the road, and his martial arts have greatly increased, so he easily lured the second Giant Crab to the second firewood pit, or the same match, or the same way, the second Giant Crab was made into dried meat and became the reserve dry food of the Sand Thorn Insect Clan.

After the ants who joined the Shangxuan Empire tasted the jerky, they immediately shouted the title of "Roast Crab Crazy Ant" from Xiao Ran. This kind of taste that they couldn't think of finally tasted after some twists and turns. At this moment, it was the moment when they swore eternal allegiance to Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran tasted the jerky, but always felt that the taste of the jerky was far from the divine fish in the dream. Could it be that going downstream along the mountain spring water, is there really a divine fish life and a mountain stream?

"Eat me eat me ......"

The voice of the divine fish kept hovering in Xiao Ran's mind.

Because the crab jerky was made again, the transportation of the sugar cane was postponed by a day. Xiao Ran was lying in his new room, he stared out the window blankly, and couldn't help but think.

It's been a long time, but the senior sister hasn't appeared. How long is the time for your soul to travel into the burning wings......

Alas...... I don't know what my senior sister is doing. Why hasn't she ever reappeared......

Just as he was thinking, a full moon rose, the moonlight sprinkled, and the sea buckthorn wasteland was silver, shining on Xiao Ran's face through the "window", and the insects in the distance were chirping......

Alas......

Before I knew it, I had become accustomed to the tranquility of the night.

Xiao Ran felt that this night passed very slowly, and waiting for someone would eventually make time longer.

The next day, and the last working day of the week. Xiao Ran gathered the ants early in the morning, and he first asked the wizard to do a fortune on whether it was suitable for the transportation of sugar cane today.

"Ahem...... The old man finally figured it out. "The wizard pretended to be deep.

"Understand what?" Xiao Ran asked.

"Ahem...... The old man finally understood that the reason why this hexagram could not show the revelation of the dream was because the previous hexagram had not yet ended. The wizard said.

"The last hexagram? ”

"The last hexagram is the hexagram of salt peanuts, because the auspicious day to go to the peanut field has not yet been divined, so the hexagram of salt peanuts has not yet ended. The wizard said.

Burst!

Divination still needs to wait for the end of the previous hexagram!

Forget it, without a wizard, you can still transport the sugar cane back! Xiao Ran gathered the ants and used the same method as last time to cut the sugar cane into three pieces and transport them back to the Sea Buckthorn Wasteland in three times.

This time, Xiao Ran didn't immediately boil the sugar cane into sugar. Because of the method of boiling sugar last time, the utilization rate is obviously not high. And the use of leverage gave Xiao Ran inspiration.

If you can use the lever to make a juice machine, squeeze sugar cane into sugar cane juice, and then use sugar cane juice to boil sugar, then the utilization rate will be much higher.

However, the sugarcane juice pressing machines on the market use strong pressure to make the sugarcane juice pressed to the point that there is not a drop left, and it is estimated that it is difficult to achieve this effect by relying on a pebble of less than a catty.

Juice press ......

Although Xiao Ran is researching the direction of quantum communication, he has learned some engineering drawing, motor dragging, and mechanical engineering principles in college.

A simple model of a stainless steel juice press soon came to Xiao Ran's mind.

Ahh

Where did stainless steel come from!

Xiao Ran quietly looked at these three sections of sugarcane, by the way, why is the sugar boiled last time brown sugar, not white sugar?

Hmph, this situation must be explained in principle by the subject of high school chemistry, CH4OH...... CaCO3......

What exactly is the chemical formula of fructose......

I still know a little about the principles of the mechanical part, because I often use it in the laboratory, but how can I not remember a little bit of this high school chemistry knowledge......

Immortal board!

After some ideological struggle, Xiao Ran decided to solve the problem of pressing the juice first. Sugar cane has been used since ancient times. In ancient times, there was no chemistry, and there was no such thing as a stainless steel juice press, since the ancients could make sand sugar without modern technology, then they should be able to do it themselves.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran decided to start with the simplest thing - a manual press tool based on leverage.

Xiao Ran instructed the ants to find a dry place between the cloud palace and the vat storage room, and spread it with sand as a place to draw drawings. This place is also under the eaves, and it will not be wet by the rain, and Xiao Ran calls it sand.

The stainless steel juicer relies on brute force, and if there are only pebbles, maybe a long-term impact can achieve the same effect, Xiao Ran thought to himself.

The manual pressing tool is similar to the lever used to make the raspberry jam last time, and is divided into three heights. The first height is the lowest, the second height is 10 cm different from the first height, and the third height is 20 cm higher than the second height.

The first, second, and third heights are all connected by slopes. The third height serves as the fulcrum of the lever, which connects one large pebble at one end and two smaller pebbles at the other.

In this way, a simple impact press equipment is designed. This simple construction, with the help of the Shi brothers, can be completed in three days.

Xiao Ran returned to the kitchen of the old mansion and found a container that was more suitable for impact than the enamel bowl - pounding garlic stone scoop.

This garlic stone scoop was put into use before Xiao Ran was born, and after decades, there was no damage at all. So who said that a more reliable way to store information than a hard disk is engraved in stone, and there is some truth to it.

The garlic stone scoop is bulky and bulky. Xiao Ran dispatched all the worker ants and soldier ants to use all the cousins of the Shi family, and it took great effort to move the stone scoop to the side of the enamel stove.

This is the end of the last working day of the week. Because of the existence of the "Work and Rest Law", the pressing equipment can only be done next Monday.
