Chapter 247: The Meaning of Elephant City
After dinner, the vanguard continued to accelerate and arrived at the Great Lake tribe first, and then Yao Ran's team finally ushered in five iron cars. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the old and young with limited mobility, and some goods were thrown into the cart pulled by the alpaca.
The speed of the march finally accelerated, but whether it was the guards who followed Yao Ran all the way, or the villagers of Hou Village and the prisoners of Dong Village, they were all tired.
At midnight, a large team of more than 200 people led by Yao Ran finally arrived at the location of the Great Lake Tribe. Because the population suddenly doubled, after the vanguard arrived, Yao Gu got up overnight and led people to start building quickly.
The captives' hands and feet had been bruised by the previous ropes, and after the ropes were re-tied, the captives were placed in the alpaca's pens. Children under the age of five, i.e., children without tall legs, were sent to a separate bank.
Yao Ran had already made a plan for the stay of these people, that is, to cross the lake and take them all to the vicinity of the desert fortress, because the grassland was ready for cultivation and grazing, which required manpower, and a large number of female workers were needed to grow cotton and weave.
Therefore, both the people from Hou Village and the captives from Dong Village were arranged by Yao Ran to the other side of the lake, far away from their hometowns. Fortunately, it is now a nomadic village, not an agricultural village, otherwise it would be really difficult to move the population at that time if you have a relationship with the land.
To Yao Ran's surprise, the monkeys in Hou Village were released as early as when they were in Hou Village, and they still left some drugged barbecue and fish soup, but when Yao Ran didn't expect it, there were still more than a dozen monkeys chasing after waking up. It's not clear if they're emotional, or they're used to relying on humans.
After Hou Yue saw the monkey chasing over, Yao Ran did not object, he took it with him if he wanted, and the food could be taken care of by himself, although the food is more abundant now, and there will be more stocks in the future. But Yao Ran didn't think that he could be rich enough to have a pet now.
When he saw these monkeys coming, Yao Ran's heart softened, because this shooting of innocent people was a knot in Yao Ran's heart, so he didn't stop Hou Yue and the others from taking care of these little monkeys by themselves.
The Dahu tribe was renamed "Elephant City" by Yao Ran, and the production of natural rubber here was a much-needed material for Yao Ran, and here Yao Ran single-handedly stabbed a raging mammoth, hence the name.
And Yao Ran left a legendary story here that is full of colors. Whether it is subduing Tiger Village, a good story with Hu Xiaohua, or a violent mammoth with a blade, or killing the leader of Cave Village in one move, as well as enchanting the monkeys, killing three prisoners. One by one, they were publicized by the guards who followed Yao Ran after dinner. And it has been passed down for thousands of years.
And Yao Ran is sleeping with a group of wives in his arms at the moment, these days have really made Yao Ran physically and mentally exhausted, although things are not very complicated, but they need to run all the time. Yao Ran still lamented that there were not enough right-hand men around him.
Another thing is the refining of rubber, as well as the production of raw rubber, Yao Ran is ready to hand over this technology to Kong Yang to complete, because the process is not complicated, and a large number of people are required to participate in the work.
The refining technology of rubber is very simple, and the rubber tree gets latex after tapping. Latex is liquid, and it can be solidified by adding acid after filtering out impurities. And the acid used here, Yao Ran directly refers to the opinions given by the system. It is the sour fruit that Yao Ran used to eat often, which is similar to a plant acid. After that, it is dried to become the original rubber.
And Xiangcheng is only responsible for the production of raw rubber, and the processing and utilization will be transported back to Canglong City in the future, Yao Ran's idea is to establish a rubber production factory in Canglong City.
Of course, the early development test is still in the blast furnace camp near Yaozhai. Most of Yao Ran's current technology and the development of finished products were produced in the blast furnace camp, and his two most powerful disciples were still studying the task he had arranged - the steam engine.
As early as after Yao Ran learned that there were rubber trees, he gave Yao Huo and Xiaoping the task of developing a steam engine, and drew a schematic diagram. There are also large reserves of iron ore.
In fact, Yao Huo and Xiaoping don't understand very much, the entire Yao clan now has a surplus of iron, nearly a thousand steel knives have been reserved, and a lot of iron nails have been reserved.
Because the entire blast furnace camp had to store a large amount of iron products, three new large warehouses were built. Yao Huo and Xiaoping's character of asking questions if they didn't understand was cultivated by Yao Ran, and they asked Yao Ran several times in the letter, but Yao Ran was busy gathering the population and didn't have time to reply.
Yao Huo and Xiaoping still have the headache steam engine to study, and they dare not leave without Yao Ran's order. So the problem has been left until now.
After arranging everything in Xiangcheng, Yao Ran wrote a letter to the two apprentices before returning to the Yaozhai base camp, saying that the future use of iron, whether it is as large as a steam engine or as small as an iron nail, is a necessity for people, and in the future, he can build a big ship made of all iron, or he can run a car that can run without pulling anything.
Why Yao Ran wrote this letter is actually to let the two apprentices study the steam engine with peace of mind, in fact, the design of the steam engine, Yao Ran can come up with more than a dozen different styles, different uses, and various design drawings close to internal combustion in the retinal system every minute.
But what Yao Ran wants is not to respond to the voice, but to be a scientist who can be entrusted to himself, who can independently complete a project as long as he is guided by himself, and who can invent and create as long as he is instructed.
The design of the steam engine this time was actually an exam given by Yao Ran to the two apprentices. Yao Ran drew a sketch of the working principle and handed it to the two apprentices.
Ask them to build a machine that can only complete a small work process, no matter what material they use. For example, break an egg. Like tickling. Of course, it's okay to break eggs, but tickling with a steam engine is a Yao joke.
Why did he write letters to Yao Huo and Xiaoping to let them study with peace of mind, because Yao Ran still had a long-overdue job that had not been completed, that is, the invention of textile machinery. Textile machines can be regarded as more complex machinery, from spinning to weaving this is a complete set of processes.
Now when there is no suitable power, Yao Ran still decided to make some manual textile equipment. It is made by female workers, and when the technology is mature and the education for all is popularized, the textile machine with better power is replaced to reduce the waste of labor.
But there was no way in the early stage, and this time it was ten ferries that came to pick up Yao Ran and more than 200 people across the river. There is also a co-worker number personally supervised by Yao Ran.
Riding the wind and waves through the endless lake, the elephant city behind him entrusts the family built by Yao Ran, and has entered an era of steam engines. Although it has not yet been developed, the material will naturally come naturally. (To be continued.) )
