Chapter 42: Make the door
You are so happy.
This is Lu Ban's exclamation.
Enjoying the fruits of the labor and wisdom of our predecessors, we are happy.
I thought that after such a sigh, Lu Ban would be able to calm down, but when the elevator slowly went up, I realized that I was wrong.
"What is pulling this room to move? Gears or bearings? Is it still the same oil you said? β
"It's called an elevator, it doesn't use gasoline, it uses electricity."
"What is electricity? Why didn't the iron box just now use electricity? β
"That's called a car, and there are cars that use electricity."
"Which is more practical, electricity or oil?"
"I..."
I don't know if it's because I'm old and I'm starting to lose my hair, but I think it must have been caused by me, and I'm starting to regret saying yes.
But what I noticed was that after studying the door lock for a few minutes, Lu Ban looked like he knew it well.
"Childish."
What's that? I said that the anti-theft lock I installed for hundreds of dollars was naΓ―ve.
"Do you know how to open it? It's not like your long locks. β
I don't believe it.
I saw Lu Ban pull out the key and throw it to me, take out a carpenter's small file from his coat pocket, close the door and go out.
Then, I wanted to sit down and wait for him to unlock it, and he opened the door and came in.
The anti-theft lock of my hundreds of foreign clothes was broken by him like this, and his face turned green.
"Great God, I knelt for you."
"Huh?"
Lu Ban didn't understand.
"No, can you help me with a door lock?"
"As long as you have materials, you won't be ashamed of such a small door."
In ancient times, people paid attention to the faΓ§ade, and the more atmospheric the door, the more it can show its identity, and how big the door of my residential building can be.
"What do you want?"
I hurried to find paper and a pen.
"You want the best?"
"Of course."
Can there be the best, is that not nonsense?
"Okay, you remember, a pound of steel."
"A pound of steel, what else?"
"Tong Mu five feet."
"Tong??"
I stopped, I felt like I had made a mistake, it was serious.
"Uncle, what is steel?"
I interrupted him and asked.
"A kind of wood taken from the northern mountains, and the growing environment is harsh."
"Uh... No. β
Looks like I don't necessarily have it for me.
"That can be replaced by something else, Tong Mu is more."
"Not either."
"Why nothing?"
"Uncle, I take the liberty to remind you that this is the year 2016 AD, more than 2,000 years since your time, and you can't cut down trees casually now, especially the precious wood you mentioned."
I spread my hands and expressed my frustration.
He was silent and silent, and after his death, his consciousness did not dissipate, and he got his own little world, an inexhaustible source of materials for his own research, but forgot that the world had passed a thousand years.
"Then, use whatever you have!"
"There's nothing at home, so be it! I'll take you out to see, you haven't seen the steel lumber mills of our time, have you? And glass. β
I took my coat and took him out, still in a big iron box, to the steel mill in the suburbs.
"So there's still this substance in the stone? Iron? Steel? β
After watching a cooling process from ore to steel, I don't know how much sweat I have from the heat, but Lu Ban is still in high spirits.
Originally, the workers did not run the visit, saying that it was too dangerous, until the so-called leader was called, and only after seeing the identity cards of the two of us was allowed to meet our requirements, which was called in a beautiful name.
"Welcome the leadership of the grassroots inspection work"
As for the meaning, I don't know, I don't even know that it's actually a building federation, this thing.
"Do you think it can be used?"
Lu Ban shook his head.
"The output has gone up, but the quality has decreased, and there is no better smelting technology? For example, it has been tempered by thousands of people. β
Where can I find this, I can only shake my head.
"Then make do with it, do they have a stock of finished products?"
I turned the question to a simple-looking worker who followed us.
"Yes, in the back warehouse, the absolute quality of our steel has passed, and the leaders can rest assured that they will review."
It seems that Lu Ban is regarded as the leader who came down to test.
"Outside sales?"
I'll have to buy some.
"Large-scale factories need to countersign contracts."
"What about retail?"
"Yes."
"Let's go, let's go see the finished product first."
Luban is very curious about the assembly line, the steel is cooled and polished by the machine, and most of it is twisted into steel cables or steel bars for construction.
"This is what this machine made?"
Lu Ban asked me while pinching a freshly polished steel plate.
He insisted on wearing no gloves, saying that he couldn't feel the breath of objects while wearing them.
Although I don't know what to do, the steel plate in his hand is at least hundreds of degrees Celsius, and the workers are dumbfounded, and I have never seen anyone touch the freshly polished metal with their bare hands, and the key is not to be injured.
Today is a magical day for many workers, because a strange leader came, not afraid of heat or heat.
"Metal is always stronger than wood, and more capricious than wood."
Coming out of the steel factory, Lu Ban sighed, and he asked for the right to use a studio.
This matter was a little difficult, but the result was still satisfactory to Lu Ban, and the factory will send a few workers tomorrow to help Lu Ban smelt a section of metal.
As for the reason for this, I don't know, maybe it's because of the role of this professor's certificate given by the month.
Whatever, Lu Ban can't wait to go to the lumber mill.
Start the car and go you.
However, the lumber mill was not as easy as the steel mill, and we were blocked out.
"I'm sorry, sir, I'm just a doorman, don't embarrass me."
The doorman said why not let in, saying that the leader meant not to let outsiders in for a few days.
I don't want to embarrass anyone, but Luban's time is limited, which makes me very difficult.
"Uncle, in this way, I don't embarrass you, you call the manager of the factory, just one, tell him who we are coming, okay, it doesn't matter if you give it in when the time comes."
After stuffing two packs of cigarettes, the doorman reluctantly went to call.
"This lumber mill belongs to someone else?"
Luban got out of the car and came to me and asked.
"Huh? No, but it can be regarded as a group of people who contract together, but both land and materials must give the state a large sum of money. β
There was still no movement for a long time, and I saw that Lu Ban was still playing with a screw and nut set in the car.
Take out your phone and make a call.
"Hey, fatty, do you know anyone from the Chengnan Lumber Mill?"
"I know, I have our shares."
"Where are we all in your house?"
"That's not a big deal, otherwise I wouldn't have so much money."
"Okay, okay, hurry up, I'm blocked at the door, and people won't let me in."
"What are you doing in that place? You can't be trying to order a coffin board, right? β
"That's also made for you, hurry up. I'm looking for some materials, but my door is broken. β
"Okay, you wait, five minutes."
Hang up the phone and get in the car, I believe in the fat man's ability to do things.
