Many excellent craftsmen just have poor imagination, what they lack is an opportunity, and sometimes just a random mention can stimulate their latent ideas.

Although threads have been used for a long time, they were really widely used after the Industrial Revolution when steel smelting technology was developed.

Steel was not widely used, limiting the development and application of threads. The wooden mortise and tenon structure solves many problems, so the craftsmen never thought to work on the threads.

Ye Xinyan just casually said a few uses of threads, which opened Zhang Mian and Wang Huan's imagination. The two of them were already eager to try, thinking about how to study the things that the eldest lady said and how to apply them to practice. This is a precedent-setting thing, it is not an ordinary thing to do according to the rules and conventions, if it is done, it will be a great master-level craftsman.

After arranging the things to be done, Wang Qiao continued to lead a few craftsmen who were clever and discussed the structure of the crane with Ye Xinyan. After Ye Xinyan explained the appearance structure and operating principle she knew to Wang Qiao and the others, she threw the matter to them, and she got out of it herself and considered the construction of the peach forest.

The original plan was that in addition to expanding the cattle farms in Qingyuan County and the southern part of Yuyuan County, Ye Xinyan would also go to Guanyuan County in the northeast to choose a place to set up a cattle farm and a corresponding dairy workshop. As a result, the act of appreciating peach blossoms and going green completely disrupted the plan.

It was necessary to expand the cattle farm in other provinces, but the mechanical workshop had already started, and the matter was so tight that she couldn't get out of the way.

The other best candidates are Fan Zhengyuan and Xie Chun, who have already presided over an expansion in Qinghe Village, and the cattle farm in the southern part of Yuyuan County was also opened by two people in the past, and they have enough experience to preside over the construction of another cattle farm and follow-up workshop in Guanyuan County.

By mid-May, the main body of the two houses that Zhang Wusi was responsible for building had been completed, and Zhou Baguio had already sorted out the materials for the mechanical workshop and cattle farm for the construction of the peach forest, and was only waiting for the construction of the peach forest to start.

Speaking of which, the composition of several businesses in Ye Xinyan's hands is relatively complicated. The cattle farm is the business of Jiang Yifan and Jinrong, the dairy is the business of Ye Xinyan and Jinrong, and the mechanical workshop is a partnership between the three of them.

Regarding money and expansion, although according to what Jinrong and Jiang Yifan said, she can be in charge, but if she plans to cooperate for a long time, it is better to discuss it with her partners when there are big moves and changes.

Therefore, a few days later, when Jiang Yifan came to deliver the news of the road repair to Ye Xinyan, Ye Xinyan had already made up his mind in general, and he was just waiting to discuss it with Jiang Yifan.

"Are you really going to build wooden tracks?" Jiang Yifan was a little stunned.

Ye Xinyan nodded, "I thought about it seriously, if the wood is selected well and the antiseptic is done, the life of the wooden track is no worse than that of the railroad track." Moreover, we are mainly used for milk transportation, so we have to schedule reasonably, and only build a monorail, which can save a lot of materials. ”

There is no problem with the material, Jiang Yifan is worried about the life of the track, "You have asked, can the wooden track really withstand the wind and rain?" If it is two years old, the wood will be weathered and deformed, but I am afraid that it will not be able to be used. Why don't I ask someone else? ”

Ye Xinyan said: "No, there are so many pagodas and attics in the world, all of them are used well, and I haven't seen any weathered collapse." If you have the time and manpower to ask about this, it is better to find out where there are good antiseptic technologies and materials. ”

She had heard rumors about the wooden track of the Qin Dynasty in the past, but unfortunately she didn't know that she was going to cross it at the time, that is, she heard it casually, and she didn't take it to heart at all, let alone pay too much attention to whether it was true. But as long as there is something to say, I'm afraid that there will be a bit of a shadow, and she still believes this.

Jiang Yifan thought for a while, saw that there was no one in the guest room, and asked in a low voice: "You are so sure that you want to make wooden rails, do you have wooden rails there?" ”

When Taolin told him about his previous life, he would mention it from time to time when he arrived.

Ye Xinyan pursed her lips very sharply and said: "At that time, the technology of exploration and mining was very mature, and the steel industry was already very developed, how could we use wood to make tracks?" "Aren't you afraid that people who lack firewood will secretly go to the fire?

In order to corroborate his words, and to combat Jiang Yifan, Ye Xinyan asked, "Do you know what steel is?" ”

Jiang Yifan was wondering how Ye Xinyan could put iron and steel together, and when he heard Ye Xinyan ask, he quickly shook his head, saying that he didn't know.

"Actually, we rarely use iron to describe the material, we all talk about steel. At the time of smelting, various metals and minerals are added to the iron to meet the requirements of different uses. For example, the toughness, the hardness, the corrosion resistance, the ductility of the ...... Many, many and so on. ”

Jiang Yifan remembered what Ye Xinyan said, nodded and said: "What you said is very reasonable, several famous swords in ancient legends are sharp blades made by swordsmen with different iron-striking skills. I think it's the method you just said. ”

Well, she really forgot that in modern times, she often heard reports that among the unearthed cultural relics in some places, what swords were found, which were said to be extremely sharp, and even modern science could not create sharp weapons.

Well, it was she who got carried away, our ancestors had ingenuity, but they cherished their skills too much, refused to pass them on to others, and then threw away all those exquisite crafts and skills.

"That's right, we also have a record there, saying that ancient times also had exquisite smelting technology." Ye Xinyan echoed stupidly.

Jiang Yifan didn't dwell on this matter, "Since you want to use a wooden track, then follow your wishes, even if there is no precedent, we can try." You prepare the materials, I will ask the officials of the county government engineering department to find the classics and see which kind of anti-corrosion is better. ”

"Wait," Ye Xinyan then remembered that building roads or rails requires land, depending on what Jiang Yifan meant, the problem of land use has been solved? "What about the land to be used to build roads, which can be bought and sold?" Reading a book and finding the latest chapters by yourself?
