"What are you stunned! Put on your gloves and hold on to the wire rope! ”

On the wharf of Zhujiazhuang, heavy soldiers gathered, and semi-professional freight people shouted in unison. Under the orders of the cottage foremen, they began to transport the materials that Zhu Zilong put on the steel ship and transported them down.

"Pull it!"

With the first successful experience, the next thing was much easier, and with the increase in proficiency and manpower, soon the mountains of materials were pulled into the expanded warehouse base one after another.

It's heavily guarded outside!

Suddenly, suddenly, suddenly, suddenly, the sound came, startling the crowd.

Then, everyone saw Lord Zhu Zilong, the Dragon of the Four Seas, sitting on a big iron guy, with black smoke emitting from the front, and a big iron back box followed behind, like an elephant made of iron. From the steel ship, drive to the stone and concrete road below.

Tractor!

That's right, Jingran is a tractor.

The steam engine has not yet been invented, TM, Comrade Zhu rushed to get the steamer and tractor to the Ming Dynasty.

"This thing is a tractor iron ox flowing horse, edible oil and moving, can carry thousands of catties, can also replace the strong cattle to open up the wasteland and sow seeds." Zhu Zilong stopped the tractor and talked serious nonsense.

However, because of the big steel steamer first, compared with this tractor, the steel ship as big as a mountain has sailed over.

Who would care about an iron bull and a horse, they all nodded yes.

The first tractor to be invented was the steam engine, which was invented in 1856. But the steam engine tractor that could be built at that time (the predecessor of the steam tractor) was like a small locomotive, which would have compacted the soil and made it impossible to cultivate, even if it was not sunk in the field.

In 1889, the Chaddar Engine Company in Chicago, USA, manufactured the world's first agricultural tractor using a gasoline internal combustion engine - the "Baga" tractor.

Because the internal combustion engine is relatively lightweight, easy to operate, and has high work efficiency, its emergence has laid the foundation for the popularization and application of tractors.

By the end of the 40s of this century, in places such as North America, Western Europe and Australia, tractors have replaced livestock as the main power of farms, and since then, tractors have been popularized in Eastern Europe, Asia, South America and Africa.

The reason why Zhu Zilong wanted to build a tractor to come to the Ming Dynasty was because it was the late Ming Dynasty, and all kinds of cattle and horses were extremely precious, and he couldn't buy much even if he had money.

This will seriously affect his plan to open up the land and help Daming survive the Xiaoice River period.

Dongfanghong-54 tractor, from the fifties to the eighties, has always been the image representative of agricultural mechanization in the hearts of Chinese.

Before the 80s, Dongfanghong tractors completed more than 70% of China's machine arable land, making outstanding contributions to solving the problem of eating for the Chinese people.

Because of this, in the Beijing Millennium Monument Park, which records the most influential 100 major events in China in the 20th century, the text of China Yituo (Dongfanghong-54 tractor) completed and put into operation in 1959 is impressively engraved on it.

Of course, it is precisely because of this.

Even though this tractor has been out of production for many years, Zhu Zilong can still find some samples in China.

The Dongfanghong-54 tractor is 3660 mm long, 1865 mm wide, 2300 mm high and has a ground clearance of 260 mm. It is equipped with an AE-54 four-cylinder four-stroke water-cooled diesel engine rated at 54 hp, rated at 1,300 rpm, with a cylinder diameter of 125 mm, piston stroke of 152 mm, a compression ratio of 16:1 and a maximum traction of 2,850 kg.

The minimum speed is 3.59 km/h and the maximum speed is 7.9 km/h. Well, slow is a little slower, but after all, there are not many of them, and they are not used to charge into battle, but to replace cattle farming.

Empty weight 5100 kg, service weight 5400 kg. This tractor can plough 8-15 hectares per day, which is more than eighty times more efficient than cattle ploughing.

Maybe you have to ask, why not get some more advanced, faster modern 21st century tractors to the Ming Dynasty?

This is because Zhu Zilong deliberately chose Dongfanghong Old Antique for a reason.

Moreover, this reason has something to do with China's national conditions. I believe everyone knows that the previous bicycle Phoenix brand is really durable, and it can be used until death without repair. Minor repairs are all once N years!

And the modern bicycle around 2020, sorry, it doesn't break a few times a year, and I'm embarrassed to go out.

What was the most important thing in the Ming Dynasty?

It's not speed, it's not loading, it's practicality. This kind of tractor is a little slower, but it is super durable, and the operation is simple, as long as you learn it for a few days, even the Ming Dynasty people can drive it. And the diesel used is of very low quality!

How often is the longest tractor to be overhauled?

The authoritative saying is: it is rare for a tractor not to be repaired for 10 years. However, Xu Yongshan of Taojiatun Town, Gongzhuling City, will tell you: 17 years!

That's right, as long as you use Dongfanghong, this kind of antique tractor, a small repair in a few years, and a major repair in ten years.

The maintenance is in place, you can use it to fall apart, and it is estimated that it will not need to be repaired.

In China in the 21st century, there have been many reporters who have interviewed families with Dongfanghong tractors. For example:

Walking into the courtyard of the Xu family, the first thing that catches your eye is the spacious garage on the left, where some mottled "Dongfanghong-75" crawler tractors are quietly parked.

38-year-old tractor with a somewhat faded appearance. Because of its age, the backrest of the tractor's driver's seat has been worn out with a large hole, the leather armrests have been worn out, and the wood inside has been polished. The date and number of the production are clearly visible in the cab, indicating that it was produced in April 1970 under the number 075214.

67-year-old Xu Yongshan stroked this, and the Dongfanghong tractor big iron guy said: "The bricks and tiles of this garage were originally kept to build a house, and I can't wronged it when I learned that the old guy was going to live in my house." The old house I live in was built in 1953, and the ceiling is still straw. Dongfanghong: I haven't overhauled it for 30 years! ”

This kind of picture abounds, less than ten years without major repairs, and few minor repairs. Dongfanghong tractors, which have not been overhauled for 30 years, are also common.

One word, value.

That's right, just for this value, Zhu Zilong took a fancy to Dongfanghong antique tractor at a glance, so he specially asked people to find some and brought them to the Ming Dynasty this time.

In the Ming Dynasty, few people could repair tractors, but basic maintenance knowledge could still be quickly cultivated in place.

In addition, as soon as you learn to drive a tractor, it is easy to replace the production of strong cattle in peacetime and be used as a magic weapon for logistics transportation in wartime.

Tracked tractors, whether on flat ground, on bad roads, up hills, or hard across small rivers, can do anything like a tank.

Later generations said that if you can drive this kind of tractor, then you can also become a qualified tank soldier at any time.

At that time, during World War II, many tank drivers were killed on the Soviet side. The reason why I can quickly get the driver's supplement is because many Soviet people at that time would drive Dongfanghong tractors, and as long as they trained for a few days, they could immediately drive tanks to participate in the war-
