Chapter 11, what kind of bicycle do you want with a harvester?
At the top of the list are two logging axes.
This immediately made the corners of Zhao Xiangdong's mouth, who came to the side to watch, twitch.
It's not that he's sick, it's that in this era of the small plane, all products linked to steel are not cheap.
After that, there were two pieces of iron, sandpaper, etc., and two pieces of soap that Fang Xiaoyue added privately.
No way, in the village, Fang Xiaoyue can only use soap horns to bathe and wash her hair or something, but if you don't take a big basin and slowly boil it, its effect will definitely be far inferior to the effect of soap soap.
Of course, the most important of these are the logging axes and iron bars.
The Logging Axe is used to cut wood, the wood is used to make the main body of the human harvester, and the iron bar is naturally used to make the harvesting gear and teleportation device, etc.
After getting Fang Xiaoyue's purchase list, Huang Laoqi took two puffs and smoked the cigarette until he couldn't smoke it anymore, then reluctantly threw away the cigarette butt, stepped on it, and took Zhang Daniu towards the back door of the office building of the supply and marketing cooperative.
Fang Xiaoyue couldn't see the whole process, but the final result still met his general expectations.
The logging axe was in hand, but only one.
However, one is enough, and the reason why Fang Xiaoyue listed two is to prevent damage and replace them.
After all, he didn't want to cut and fix the axe.
The iron material is not the qualified iron material that Fang Xiaoyue imagined, but the kind that is much worse than the quality of the strip steel.
According to Huang Laoqi, it is the product of the large-scale steel smelting in Materia Medica Town in the past, and it has been piled up in the warehouse of the supply and marketing cooperatives for many years.
Fortunately, although the quality of this iron material is not good, the amount is very sufficient.
Probably the director of the supply and marketing cooperative, thinking that it was rare to have a big man who was willing to take over, so he gave Zhang Daniu all the more than 300 kilograms of iron in stock.
As for sandpaper, soap and other small items, they are also in place.
When everyone drove the ox cart back home, Fang Xiaoyue also borrowed a set of carpenter's tools from Cheng Dashui.
On the way back, everyone was full of joy and elation, but the accountant Zhao Xiangdong's face was declining, as if his father had just died.
The 150 yuan he brought out was not much left at this time, which could be called the Waterloo after he took charge of the brigade's finances.
Compared to when I came, the way back was much slower.
Even if the big buffalo was well raised, it was not easy to pull up more than 300 kilograms of iron and other things piled up on the ox cart.
This made Fang Xiaoyue dare not sit for a while when she was tired of walking, for fear that the big buffalo would be tired and lie down, and at that time, a few of his people would call the sky and the earth unhealthy halfway through.
Of course, the main thing is that this big buffalo is a little older, no better than those young and strong bulls.
The captain Zhang Daniu was still thinking about whether to buy another cow back last time to prevent the lack of spring ploughing strength.
It's just that he counted the savings of the eight brigades and finally gave up this plan.
When the group returned to Forsythia Village, they got busy.
It was impossible for Fang Xiaoyue to cut down the trees by himself, he needed to hurry up and hammer those iron materials, this was not a job that could be done in a short time.
Zhang Daniu thought about it for a while, selected two old villagers, and sent eight male intellectuals to help the old villagers.
In short, the Eighth Brigade formed a temporary logging team of up to ten people around the logging axe.
During this period of labor, Zhang Daniu can be seen that those educated youths are all pampered, and they are not diligent in their limbs and grains, so they don't take advantage of the logging to exercise well, and when the summer harvest comes, do they have diarrhea one by one?
As for those female intellectuals, they were all sent to Fang Xiaoyue by Zhang Daniu to fight.
I have to say that Zhang Daniu's move made Fang Xiaoyue a little stunned.
The five girls were ordered to report and obey the command of the repairman Comrade Fang.
This made Fang Xiaoyue, who was struggling to beat the iron with her bare arms, almost miss the hammer and smashed her own foot.
"What, will you help me clean up the hut?"
Fang Xiaoyue was a little embarrassed, and waved the hammer subconsciously and said.
Compared to his embarrassment, these girls were much more generous, and they went to clean up one by one.
Of course, this process goes without saying.
Although Fang Xiaoyue is not a person who does not pay attention to hygiene, it is impossible for the grass house to be as clean and comfortable as it is under these conditions.
So it didn't take long for the girls to start covering their noses.
As soon as those girls were gone, Fang Xiaoyue put her attention back on the anvil and thrashed it again.
After beating a piece of iron repeatedly to the point of a hundred wrought irons, he made it into an axe.
This is also a helpless thing, and it is impossible to harvest enough trees in a short period of time with just a logging axe.
The axe was ready, the axe handle was installed, Fang Xiaoyue chopped a few pieces of firewood and tested it.
The blade of this axe is somewhat softer than a specialized logging axe, after all, the blades of those logging axes are specially mixed with carbon and are harder.
But just like that, it's enough to use, and it's really missing, so just take it back and repair it again.
After that, Fang Xiaoyue asked the girls who were extremely slow to do things to take axes to support the logging team, which was regarded as getting rid of a bunch of troubles.
To be honest, he didn't hate those girls, but he was worried that they would accidentally burn down their grass huts, especially when they had to boil water to wash their hands.
While waiting for the wood, Fang Xiaoyue forged all the iron materials, and with the +2 effect brought by the specialty of the crafting items, these inferior iron materials were considered to be a big step.
After the logging team pulled the wood back from the mountain one by one, Fang Xiaoyue sawed the wood, peeled it, and began to make the main body of the human harvester according to the drawings he had drawn.
To put it simply, this manual harvester is shaped like a tricycle with several wooden boxes.
It's just that Fang Xiaoyue has neither finished products nor rubber in those wheels, so in the end she can only use wood instead.
Well, wooden wheels aren't much of an innovation.
This thing has been used in human society for more than a thousand years, and it was not until the advent of rubber and steel that wooden wheels were withdrawn from the transportation industry.
Now, Fang Xiaoyue has dragged the wooden wheel out of the long river of history.
In the process of making it, he found that there was a big difference between the wood and steel bodies used for this human harvester.
If the steel is the main body, the whole machine only needs three wheels, and the wood body needs to take into account the stability of the material and structure, plus Fang Xiaoyue has no time to let the wood dry naturally, and can only dry the wood over low heat, so it is necessary to install five wheels on the machine.
Time passed little by little, two days of hastily drying the wood, five days revising the design and fabricating the wood body, one week revising the design and fabricating various mechanical parts, and the last day was assembling the machine.
Fang Xiaoyue spent a total of half a month to build a human harvester.
When they got the news, all the cadres of the Eighth Brigade and even some villagers rushed to the edge of the field where the machine was tested, and looked at the human harvester with great curiosity.
In their eyes, this human harvester is full of mysterious industrial atmosphere, which makes them a little afraid to talk about it loudly.
"Let's go with someone."
This human harvester, Fang Xiaoyue was originally designed to operate all of them by one person.
But he soon discovered that it was difficult for a single person to have enough strength to make the machine reap while moving forward.
After all, this human harvester is like an enlarged tricycle, just sitting on it and pedaling to make it move forward, it is very difficult, if you transfer some of the power to the harvesting part, a strong man will not last long.
Therefore, he later changed the manual harvester to a two-seater, one person specifically pedaled to supply the forward power of the machine, and the other pedal provided the harvesting power.
Of course, in the initial practical test, Fang Xiaoyue definitely wanted to try the harvesting power pedal, compared to the simpler forward power part, the harvesting part is undoubtedly much more complicated.
"Me! I! ”
"Fugui, I'll come!"
"Rich! It's still me! ”
.......
As soon as they heard Fang Xiaoyue's words, the villagers, who had been in awe of the human harvester, suddenly became restless and rushed over.
Perhaps, in their eyes, being able to operate this human harvester is undoubtedly the same as flying an airplane into the sky.
The novelty is completely incomparable to other things, just like the mood of a child when they go to an amusement park and see bumper cars for the first time.
In fact, not only the villagers surrounded them, but also those educated youths involuntarily surrounded them.
Compared with the villagers, they are more curious about what it will be like to run a machine that they have also contributed to.
"Don't squeeze! Don't squeeze! Give me all back! Crush the machine, I'll deduct your work! ”
Seeing so many people coming up, it made the captain Zhang Daniu anxious.
Under the continuous yelling and scolding, he drove everyone away.
But after Zhang Daniu drove the people away, he sat on the machine first, and kept urging Fang Xiaoyue: "Fugui, tell me quickly, how do you get this thing?" ”
Seeing Zhang Daniu's impatient appearance, Fang Xiaoyue was also a little speechless, and had to point to the pedal under Zhang Daniu's feet: "Uncle, have you ever ridden a bicycle?" ”
"Is it the kind of bicycle sold in the county supply and marketing cooperative? I've never ridden it. ”
Zhang Daniu was stunned, but he had never ridden a bicycle and had seen a bicycle run, so under Fang Xiaoyue's guidance, he quickly got started.
After all, it's easier to pedal than a bike.
As Zhang Daniu pressed the pedal hard, the manual harvester slowly moved forward, while Fang Xiaoyue controlled the direction of the harvesting gear to align the rice that was close to maturity.
As Fang Xiaoyue also began to step on the pedal, the harvesting gear turned, and a stubble of rice was cut off at the waist, and fell into a special wooden box in turn.
