Chapter 604

The matter of carving the mold out of wood was quickly resolved.

One day later, Fang Fang found Lu Fengmei with these molds carved out of wood.

Lu Fengmei has already prepared the adobe, and the rest is to press the wooden mold into the adobe according to the previous plan.

As soon as you press it down, hundreds of the same hoe molds are completed.

The next step is to put the mold into the brick kiln and fire it until it is hard and shaped.

At the same time, Lu Fengmei opened another stove next to the furnace, with a crucible on top of the stove.

Those copper pieces were thrown into the crucible, and as the flame burned in the furnace, the temperature rose slowly, and the copper pieces melted into copper water at high temperature.

At this point, the most exciting moment comes, that is to pour copper water into the formed mold, and then wait for the copper water to cool and solidify.

The copper water cools very quickly, and when the temperature drops, it will solidify, and it will quickly change from a liquid to a solid.

Lu Fengmei couldn't wait to smash the mold, and the formed hoe was exposed from the broken mold.

"It's done, it's done!"

Seeing the formed hoe, Lu Fengmei and Fang Fang fell into ecstasy.

Fang Fang hugged Lu Fengmei excitedly, feeling filled with emotion, "Old Lu, we have finally forged bronze wares!"

Lu Fengmei also laughed happily, nodded and said: "Yes, not only hoes, we can make more things in the future."

After a short ecstasy, the two began to smash the remaining molds one by one, and got a whole hundred hoes.

This is the first time to mold a hoe. Before making it, Lu Fengmei and Fang Fang carefully prepared a hundred molds. This is also a way to make the best use of everything and maximize efficiency. Once it is made, it must be made in batches. It is too time-consuming to do it one or a dozen times.

Not all of the [-] hoes are qualified. Due to the incompleteness of the casting mold and the technical problems in the production, there will be more or less defective products.

The two counted carefully, and the number of people who can pass is [-], which means that the pass rate is [-]%.

To achieve such a pass rate under such crude conditions, both Fang Fang and Lu Fengmei are already very satisfied.

As for the remaining defective products, they are actually nothing, just throw them away and wait for the next smelting, and then pour them into the crucible and melt them together.

Those qualified hoes can't be used right away, and need to be polished before they can be put into use.

Or because of mold and process problems, some burrs and burrs will inevitably be caused, so these burrs and burrs need to be removed before use.

Then the camp turned into a scene of big guys sitting on the ground grinding hoes.

Called by Equation, the aborigines returned to the camp, put down other things at hand, and all seriously began to sharpen their hoes.

And Fang Fang and Lu Fengmei were not idle, they moved out the rake molds they had made before, and continued to melt the copper blocks, preparing to water the rakes.

All of a sudden, the camp was busy inside and out, and all the ears were filled with the sound of "rustling".

The natives had never seen these farm tools at all, and had no idea what they were. They only knew that the equation required them to polish them, and then sat down to polish them obediently.

By dusk, the hoes and rakes made today had been polished.

At this time, Equation gathered everyone together and began to teach them how to use hoes and rakes.

The aborigines felt awkward no matter how they gestured with the hoe in their hands, but they were very interested in the hole in the middle of the hoe.

The equation uses a piece of prepared wood to fit into the ring in the middle of the hoe, and then fixes the hoe with a wedge, so that a hoe is truly complete.

"This thing is called a hoe. It can help us dig and plow the soil better. It plays a very important role in both reclamation of cultivated land and construction projects."

In order to let these natives feel the benefits of copper hoes over stone hoes, Fang Fang randomly ordered two natives to come to him.

Under the eyes of everyone, Fang Fang taught them how to hold a hoe, and then how to swing the hoe to hoe the ground.

In fact, it is not difficult. Everyone used stone hoes before, and got used to it quickly after getting the copper hoes.

Of course, the sharp and hard copper hoes are not comparable to stone hoes. After a simple try, these natives immediately fell in love with the new hoes.

When each of these natives wanted to get a hoe, Equation did not distribute the hoe.

At present, the number of farm tools in the camp is still relatively small, and it is not suitable for distribution to every native. Moreover, these copper farm tools are no worse than stone weapons in terms of lethality, and distributing them all may cause unnecessary trouble.

So the method of the equation is very simple, that is, all the means of production are collected by the collective, and then distributed during labor, and then collected after the labor is over, and managed by the collective.

In order to store these agricultural tools, Fang Fang ordered people to build a simple storage room in the camp and sent people to guard it.

The next day, Lu Fengmei continued to manage the copper smelting matters, while Fang Fang took people to the open space outside the camp and began to plow the land.

With the handy tools, the efficiency of turning the land has been greatly improved. Things that originally required three people can now be done by only one person.

The most direct benefit brought about by this is the great increase in production efficiency, allowing more land to be reclaimed on the island faster, and the reclaimed land is followed by the planted sweet potatoes.

In addition to hoes, shovels, shovels, crowbars, and copper hammers were also made immediately.

These things are very useful tools when building the city wall. With them, the speed of building the city wall has been rapidly improved, and Wei Lin can also progress her city building plan more smoothly.

In the evening, Blake came to find the equation.

Equation thought that something happened, pulled Blake and asked, "What's the matter, you are frowning, what happened?"

Blake shook his head and said, "Master, it's not my business, it's Xiao Liang's business."

After Blake mentioned it, Fang suddenly realized that there was such a thing.

For the past half month, I have been busy mining copper and smelting copper every day. I was so confused by these things that I almost forgot about this matter.

Half a month ago, Xiao Liang was sent to the original territory to pick up the family members who stayed on the island, but it has been half a month, and there is no news at all.

"I'm worried about whether Xiaoliang and the others have betrayed." Blake looked worried.

"No, I trust him." Fang Fang said firmly.
