Chapter 124: The Prologue to the Beginning of Mass Production!
Within ten minutes, I saw that two or three hundred people with weapons appeared on the beach one after another, lining up in an ambush.
Zhu Zilong, who was observing with a telescope, was quite satisfied with the speed at which his own people came to fight the enemy in the future. But the investigators waited until they were almost to the coast, only to find that the copycat Zheng He's treasure ship was very dissatisfied.
"Whew!" Subconsciously, Zhu Zilong pressed the whistle on the ship, and immediately resounded in all directions, this is the whistle from another time and space civilization, it announces the advent of a new era!
No one in Daming had ever heard the sound of this whistle, and the regimental soldiers who surrounded the huge treasure ship were immediately startled.
By the time they came back to their senses, everyone in command was eager to grab the ship.
Zhu Zilong appeared at the bow of the ship and looked at them as if he was dominating the world.
"It's too slow, if I were a pirate, I would almost be able to kill the village. Ma Xiaosan, Liu Yilai, Wang Cannon (omitted the N word), and set up a few more bee fire stations on the beach in the future. In addition, there are stations on the surrounding islands! ”
Zhu Zilong, who was holding a modern microphone amplification microphone, faced the sun and sea breeze, and made a huge sound, making everyone's faces stunned with a capital letter!
"It's an adult (big brother)!" It didn't take long for Ma Xiaosan and the others below to come back to their senses and roar happily after seeing the comer.
So, a few hours later.
A dense crowd of people is coming and going from the huge copycat treasure ship, coming and going to transport things.
Different signs are erected all over the beach, indicating the landing place of people, wagons, equipment, depots, liaison offices, registration offices, etc.
After more than a day, only one-third of the supplies on the ship went to the Zhujiazhuang warehouse.
Because there are too many materials this time, there is a difference between a ship with a displacement of several thousand tons and a fishing boat of dozens of tons before.
Moreover, Zhu Zilong deliberately kept one-third of the materials, which were stored in the cottage treasure ship, which was something that was not easy to see.
For the seaside warning, in addition to setting up a few more observation sites, Zhu Zilong, who was standing on the side, gave another order, that is, to give the main intersection, a few walls, (the cottage of the small Great Wall, of course, is just a few walls)!
Zhu Zilong, who just returned to Zhujiazhuang to count the materials, soon found that the basic items could not keep up with the production progress.
In the case of warehouses, there are not enough, and there are no bricks for the fence.
Modern buildings have shifted from brick to reinforced concrete, but fired clay bricks are still one of the most widely used materials. Before the lime mine was found in large quantities, Zhu Zilong's soil and cement were only tested internally and used in his own warehouse.
This is also the reason why most of the people's houses in Zhujiazhuang are still old-fashioned, and obviously the safety and firmness are not qualified.
The process of firing bricks and tiles is quite cumbersome, and the raw soil must be mined first.
The raw soil is dried and crushed, and then repeatedly trampled after adding water to make mature soil and then made into bricks.
The bricks can not be burned directly into the kiln, if there is too much moisture, it will be directly burned and deformed in the kiln, so it has to be dried in the shade for ten days and a half months, and the sun can not be seen during the dry period, there can be no strong wind, and no cold can be encountered, so under normal circumstances, bricks and tiles cannot be burned in winter.
Zhu Zilong's Zhujiazhuang was all bricks from other houses at the beginning, but now other people's houses have no inventory, so they can only solve it themselves.
Zhu Zilong has long thought that the production efficiency of the earth round kiln is too low, and the kiln installation requires a skilled master to do it. Therefore, when I returned to the Ming Dynasty this time, I bought some pot camel machines that were not too advanced, but suitable for fool-like simple operation to help.
(Locomobile: A power machine with a boiler and a steam engine connected together, some of which are equipped with wheels and can be moved.) The pot camel machine can drive water wheels, generators or other various machinery, and use coal, firewood, heavy oil and other fuels, which is suitable for rural use. )
This was discovered by Zhu Zilong in an old machine factory on a whim in addition to other generators. I brought it with me, and installed a silencer device on it, and connected it with a strange wire, but I don't know what it was.
Hide a few of these things in the backyard of Zhujiazhuang, so that only a few henchmen can see them.
People outside, unless it's quiet in the middle of the night, can faintly hear some strange mechanical sounds. (I don't know it's closed at night?) )
Why try this thing first?
In fact, it is also Zhu Zilong's subconscious thoughts that are making a mistake, as soon as he heard that this thing does not need diesel, in line with the idea of saving some diesel first if he can save it, he will use it to try it first. After all, during the Ming Dynasty, it was difficult for you to find qualified diesel, and I was afraid that the ships would not be enough!
In the inner courtyard, when the pot camel machine was adjusted, black smoke suddenly appeared, and the flywheel rotated, driving the combined brick making machine to operate.
Ma Xiaosan, Liu Zihua, Neng Xiaoyu and dozens of other henchmen only saw piles of cooked soil being poured into the big opening of the steel, and many iron pieces were dazzling up and down and roaring, and then they saw that the flat adobe was neatly cut into whole bricks as if it had been spelled!
For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded.
This speed, this qualified rate of finished products, is not at all something that mortal strength can do?
Several squad leaders even knelt down in front of the machine and kowtowed repeatedly, and the corners of Zhu Zilong's mouth twitched.
"Kowtow, go and transport the material! is so small that it is not as good as a tiger. Zhu Zilong roared one after another: "And you, Xiaobai, Xiaohei, that's not pork, don't add it with your tongue, after a while, the mechanical surface will heat up, and blood will bubble on your tongue." Flash aside, Erha Tiger! ”
"Get to work! Work! Let the people of the housekeeping team come over and enter the village to live, and you can't leave the village without my order. Family members are also brought in to live, and they are not allowed to come into contact with outsiders except for the things that are shipped out. All daily necessities are paid by the village. Arrange for soldiers to guard the area multiple times! Zhu Zilong waved his stick and gave orders one after another.
After arranging these, Zhu Zilong doesn't have to worry about leaking secrets in the short term. In the long run, hey, he didn't plan to hide these things for a long time, and sooner or later he would have to vigorously promote them.
There are too many buildings to be built inside and outside the village, and the next day, Liu Dabao, who learned that Zhu Zilong had returned, came back to visit.
He said with a happy face that he had found a natural saltpeter mine in Ximei Mountain, and a so-called lime mine was also found nearby.
So, Zhu Zilong, who learned of this situation, immediately came up with the idea of making cement from clay, and suddenly came to mind.
In the modern 21st century society, the cement industry has become a highly specialized, mechanized large-scale production, which involves many special large-scale special equipment, such as crushers, rotary kilns, ball mills and so on.
It is obviously impossible to fully and 100% replicate the appearance of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, soil cement, which is barely qualified, can also replace modern cement. During the Anti-Japanese War of our party, the NNN years used were all made of this clay cement. In the 21st century, some people in the countryside still use it, you can imagine how practical this thing is!
(Of course, the quality and yield are not as good as those in the factory.) )
The raw materials needed for cement, such as clay, lime, gypsum, etc., except for individual minerals to be found at fixed points, such as Zhu Zilong's time now, other local materials are extremely convenient.
(If you really can't find some mineral ash, if you are not afraid of trouble and time-consuming, it is the same for the shells that are practical on the seaside, and they are crushed.) )
Oh yes.
The extinct volcano found in Liudabao on the side of Ximei Mountain, if the volcanic ash is brought back, it can also be used to make cement.
This kind of cement is also called "artificial pozzolan cement", and some places have also burned in rural areas in the past.
