For a long time afterwards, Ye Qing stayed in the copper smelting workshop.

While training guards, they devoted themselves to building brick making machines.

There are now more than 700 people on the dam construction site, and the project progress is very fast.

The hydraulic machinery he planned should also be manufactured earlier.

The bearings and gears and copper smelting workshops have been polishing, and the progress is also good.

The principle of brick making machine is very simple.

Brick making machines have two biggest advantages.

First, there is no need for manual labor and mud, just spray the dug dry soil with an appropriate amount of water.

This greatly reduces labor and reduces the hard work of labor.

Second, the brick embryos produced are in a semi-dry state. They do not need to be spread out like brick embryos made of wet mud. They need to be spread out and laid for a long time to expose the sun. They can be directly formed into sparse brick stacks. They can be naturally dried for a period of time and can be fired in the kiln.

This greatly saves time and site and improves the efficiency of brick making.

The main part of the brick making machine he designed is two thick spiral rods.

These two spiral rods, with opposite threads, are arranged side by side at appropriate distances.

When the machine is running, soil with appropriate humidity rotates towards each other through two spiral rods, is constantly squeezed and pushed to one end.

At the end of the spiral, there is a square outlet of the right size.

Through this exit, the mud is pushed out and it is a square mud strip.

The mud strips are conveyed through the conveyor belt and come to a cutting device and will be cut into square bricks.

The production efficiency of this brick making machine designed by Ye Qing is roughly one brick per second when it is running normally.

At the end of a day, in 8 hours, it can produce about 28,800 brick embryos.

If three shifts are in operation, the output can reach 86,400 yuan.

Of course, there is no way to work over night in this era, because lighting at night is a problem.

Torch or bonfire?

It is OK to walk and dance, but if you want to do some meticulous work, don’t think about it.

It is impossible for the brick-making tribe members to enjoy the eight-hour working system.

In modern times with a complete labor system, he cannot do an 8-hour working system. How could he, a social animal who has received 996 blessings, engage in humanistic care in primitive society?

So, what is the working time for brick making?

Simple, it's until dark.

Eliminate the necessary rest and meal time, and all other time are used for work.

In this way, it is still very simple to ensure a yield of 30,000 bricks per day with a brick making machine.

How many personnel are needed to maintain the operation of such a brick making machine?

The amount of soil for 30,000 bricks is more than 50 square meters. Including the loss, it is up to 60 square meters. Then it takes about 10 people to dig and transport soil.

3 people control the machine and 7 people carry bricks and palletize them.

The total number of people is 20.

The brick embryo needs to be burned.

It takes time to fire bricks in the kiln. Ye Qing roughly calculated that if the brick burning needs to keep up with the speed of the brick making machine, 5 brick kilns with 50,000 bricks are needed to burn 50,000 bricks at a time.

When burning a kiln, the fire cannot be cut off for 24 hours. One kiln rotates day and night, and at least 4 people are required. 5 kilns are 20 people.

In addition to loading kilns, cutting kilns, and other miscellaneous things, finally, if a brick production line is maintained at full capacity, the total number of people will be around 50.

With continuous operation, the daily output of these 50 people is 30,000 bricks.

Ye Qing plans to build two production lines with 100 people and a daily output of 60,000.

The daily output of 60,000 bricks is barely acceptable.

The seventy or eight hundred thousand bricks required for the new village wall is enough for half a month.

For example, a house with two rooms in one main hall, an area of ​​60 square meters and a brick of about 20,000 yuan can build three buildings in a day.

very good!

The beautiful new village is waving to him.

Because it is impossible to perform fine processing, and only a large amount of materials can be used to consume, the two brick making machines eventually consumed a lot of bronze.

The finished brick making machine gives people the feeling that it is... simple and rough!

Two months have passed since Ye Qing finished the brick making machine and came out of the copper smelting workshop.

If the season is calculated by modern times, it will be the end of the year.

In other words, winter has passed.

Ye Qing was speechless.

Before I knew it, the first winter after the time traveled over was over.

He didn't feel the existence of winter at all.

The winter of this era is really warm.

Not to mention heavy snow or something, even the cold is not enough.

The temperature is similar to that after the modern Mid-Autumn Festival, so he just wore one more piece of clothing.

This is winter!

Putting down his sigh, Ye Qing came to the dam construction site.

The construction of the dam is at a critical moment.

The dam is about to be merged.

This is a big deal.

The patriarch was so excited that he couldn't control himself. He trembled slightly all over, and the beard on his chin was shaking like a bee's wings.

He stood on the top of the dam, facing the southeast along the direction of the dam water.

There is the Bangfeng tribe.

There, it will soon become the ideal country.

There will be eternal home from now on.

On both sides of the Zhu River, the continuous swamps slowly turned into continuous and flat rice fields in his eyes.

He saw:

In spring, green rice grains are like the surface of the Thunder Lake, with the wind blowing, and the waves are rising and falling; in autumn, countless golden rice ears that are swaying with their heads lowered, forming a piece of them, like the continuous golden clouds in the sky, rolling and comfortable; and, rice grains as much as gravel by the river cover the large valley floors and pile up one granary after another.

Near the sandbank, the wilderness of overgrown weeds and bushes hidden by countless wild beasts is about to become flat and safe, and the tribesmen can walk at will.

He saw:

The yellow dog wagging its tail, wandering lazily everywhere inside and outside the tribe; the buffalo dragging the rake, running in the paddy fields under the shouts of the tribe members, splashing water after splashing; the children sucking their noses and barely sniffing, laughing and playing in front of and behind the house, running back and forth without worry; such scenes, grand, vast, peaceful and peaceful scenes, slowly appeared in front of him.

His hunched figure slowly became taller.

The shaking beard raised, as he raised his chest and raised his head slightly, facing the land rebelliously.

The mountain wind blew, and his old figure could not be blown, but only his messy white hair and beard.

The hair and beard that fluttered in the wind made his figure appear more firm and calm, making his figure look like a mountain and a mountain.

Everyone involved in the construction of the dam was also inexplicably excited.

Look at the huge and towering dam, and then look at your rough hands. These hands, one pick, a shovel, a hammer, a little, a drop, built such a magnificent artificial creation.

Unbelievable!

Incredible!

They couldn't help but clench their hands.

They understand...

These hands can hunt wild animals, plant rice, and build dams.

These hands can wrap your belly, dress yourself, or... let the world change its appearance.

These hands can create miracles!

An inexplicable emotion breeds in their hearts and instantly turns into a huge force, spreading all over their bodies, making them extremely humble and infinitely small figures in the world...

Stand more steadily!
