Three large wooden turbines can power three plants at the same time, and it seems that such a turbine can only power one hydraulic machine according to the previous method.

But Yu Xiaotian still found a way to solve this problem, and after repeated thinking, he thought of the transmission method of the sky axis.

The sky axis is actually a long iron or steel shaft that is erected, if it is placed on the ground, it is the earth axis, which is a power method often used in factories before the widespread use of electric motors.

Along the sky axis, the machine can be placed under the sky axis, at intervals on the sky axis, a belt will be installed, and the belt will be hung on it, when the machine needs power, the belt can be hung on the runner of the machine, and the machine can be powered to make the machine start running.

As for the belt, there is certainly no kind of rubber belt in later generations, can only find a way to solve it, after many tests, the most deer skin is found to be a good substitute, just Taiwan local deer skin, and there are a lot of them, so the problem of the belt can be solved on the spot, without causing too much trouble.

This method solves the disadvantage that a waterwheel can only provide power to one machine in the past, so that a large waterwheel can provide power for many machines, as long as the power can meet the needs, you can provide power for more machines by increasing the length of the skyshaft.

In this way, a sizable factory can be built, and large-scale mechanized production can be carried out.

It can be said that this set of hydro turbines and sky axis systems has laid a solid foundation for the mechanization process of seawolves in the future, at least it is much more convenient than using animal power and manpower.

However, it is not easy to build such a hydroelectric factory, because there are too many problems involved, and Yu Xiaotian alone does not have the energy to do these things, and because of the problem of materials, many parts have to be replaced by wood, and no one knows how strong it is.

So Yu Xiaotian transferred Zhang Blacksmith out of the gun and became the chief engineer here, because after all, in addition to him, only Zhang Blacksmith knows the most about machinery, and it has been nearly a year since Yu Xiaotian made the notebook about machinery and handed it over to Zhang Blacksmith.

In the course of this year, Blacksmith Zhang can be said to have plunged headlong into this notebook, drawing nourishment from it like crazy madness.

Now the overall management of the gun has been handed over to others, and he has become an idler, mainly responsible for some technical guidance, and the other is mainly responsible for improving the guns and the various tools used in the gun.

After having this notebook, Blacksmith Zhang has a deeper understanding of mechanical knowledge, not only began to know it, but also gradually knew why it is, many things he didn't understand before, and now he is gradually being read after reading this notebook, he suddenly understands the truth.

In fact, many times, some technical problems are not insurmountable gaps, the key is that some people think of unexpected problems, once they figure it out, knowing the truth of the road, it is much easier to solve, so with the blacksmith this mechanical maniac, some problems that even Yu Xiaotian feels scratching his head have become much easier to solve.

After all, Blacksmith Zhang has profound experience and background in ironmaking, and his hands-on ability is strong, and Yu Xiaotian can't catch up with him, so in Yu Xiaotian's view, some problems that are difficult to solve because of materials and processing can be solved by Blacksmith Zhang after they reach the hands of Blacksmith Zhang.

In addition, the talents that the sea wolf is now grasping in his hands are not only Zhang Blacksmith alone, through the efforts of the past few years, Yu Xiaotian's hands are now a lot of clever carpenters, stonemasons, and construction craftsmen, with Zhang Blacksmith to preside over this matter, and gather these masters, the things that originally seemed difficult to do were gradually overcome one by one under the brainstorming.

This also makes the construction of this hydroelectric plant not so insurmountable, and after the start of construction after the start of construction in the next year, the speed of progress here is still considerable.

In addition, now the human resources are relatively abundant, not to mention the financial resources, what are the war dividends to support, naturally there will be no problems, the construction site has invested a lot of manpower and material resources, so that the progress of the project here is advancing every day.

It took just over two months for a dam to be built and the river began to hold back, and the reservoir began to fill with water.

As for the main building of the factory, it is not a problem, there is a large amount of wood at your fingertips, and a wood drying plant and wood processing plant have been built in advance.

In addition, in order to build this factory, Seawolf also built a large brick kiln with local materials in the surrounding area, firing bricks and tiles day and night for the factory.

Of course, in order to build this factory, Yu Xiaotian finally began to drum up cement, firing cement is not difficult, the key is the construction of cement kiln, Yu Xiaotian wants to make a large-scale cement kiln in the future, it is not possible now, can only use the soil method to start the horse, first build a vertical earthen kiln, everything is simple because of the ugly, first do it and then say.

As for the raw materials, it is even simpler, in the vicinity of fresh water, clay, limestone, gypsum can be found, only need to grind and calcinate to make mature material, mixed with gypsum and ground into powder, you can be.

Now that the problem of the waterwheel is easy to solve, Yu Xiaotian asked the casting yard to cast some pig iron grinding rollers to replace the original stone mill, and specially crushed the raw materials and grinded the last ones in the cement kiln.

Of course, the fuel is a problem, the temperature of the firing cement furnace needs to be very high, to reach more than 1,400 degrees, the use of charcoal is obviously not enough, so it is still necessary to use coal as a raw material.

However, there are no coal mines in Taiwan at this time, and even if they do, they cannot be found or developed for the time being, so they can only be purchased from land for the time being.

However, for the matter of coal reserves, Yu Xiaotian had already begun to prepare for more than a year of money, purchased a large amount of coal from Fujian, transported it back to Tamsui City by ship, and specially selected a place to pile it up.

Although there was a pause for half a year due to the war, they still have a considerable amount of coal in reserve, and the burning of cement is no longer a problem.

The biggest difficulty is still in the construction of cement kiln, because the furnace temperature requirements are high, and the ordinary furnace temperature is far from reaching, so we must find a way to increase the furnace temperature.

Fortunately, they already had experience in adding a preheating furnace in front of the furnace, heating the air blown into the furnace first, and then blowing it into the furnace with a blower, so that the furnace temperature could reach the required temperature.

Others must not know about this, but Yu Xiaotian still understands these things, even if he has never eaten pork, he probably knows how to run the pig, so he can still solve it after groping, but it is certain that this kind of soil method on the horse will definitely not produce good quality things, but his requirements are not very high for the time being, as long as the cement can be burned, and the poor quality can also be dealt with, which is better than using clay and lime as a binder.

In addition, no one has experience in doing this, and it is impossible for him to burn cement himself, and it is definitely necessary to train workers, which also requires a relatively long process, and after the workers gradually find out their experience, they can build larger cement kilns in the future to produce better quality and more cement in quantity.

Although the cement kiln was built, and then the material was put into production, the result was very unsatisfactory, and the quality of the fired cement was very poor, and even the situation that could not be solidified, not to mention that it was used as a building adhesive.

The cement produced at the beginning, after Yu Xiaotian personally led people to test it, made Yu Xiaotian very speechless, these things that look like cement, the particles are coarse, they can't reach a fine enough degree, they solidify slowly, and they can't even solidify, even the soil cement they used before can't catch up.

This result made Yu Xiaotian very depressed, and after careful consideration, he began to lead people to look for problems, and later after repeatedly firing several kilns, he finally found the problem.

One is that the furnace temperature is not high enough, and the other is that there is a problem with the ratio of ingredients, Yu Xiaotian is not an all-rounder after all, but he knows how much the cement is fired, but he doesn't remember the specific ratio of raw materials, so he can only grope for it, so the ratio of these kiln cements fired in the early stage is seriously inappropriate, so the quality is definitely not good.

When they burned a lot of kilns in a row, and finally fired the cement that could be solidified, Yu Xiaotian quickly asked the craftsmen to write down the ratio and take it to the test, and it turned out that it was finally ready to use.

In addition, Yu Xiaotian asked the craftsmen to adjust and improve the structure of the cement kiln, and increased the temperature of the blowing air in front of the furnace, so that the quality of the cement kiln product can be regarded as slightly satisfactory.

Yu Xiaotian can't do anything about this, because all new things, when they first try to produce sexually, will inevitably have various problems, especially under the leadership of his half-level, the possibility of failure is higher.

Only through continuous testing can the required products be made, and early waste is inevitable.

With the success of the test of cottage cement, the quality of the cement kiln has been stabilized, and the cement has begun to be gradually produced, and it has been transported to the construction site for use.

However, considering that the quality of the products fired in such a clay cement kiln is really not reassuring, Yu Xiaotian specially instructed that the cement fired by each kiln must be sampled for testing to ensure that it can be used before it can be sent to the construction site for use, otherwise the factory he built may become a tofu slag project.

Taiwan Island has to experience the baptism of many typhoons every year, if the tofu slag project is completed, God knows what problems will occur in the road, and when the house collapses and kills many skilled craftsmen, he will lose a lot of money!
