The Legend of the Great Wilderness

Chapter 180 Ship Platform and Animal Train

At the same time that the sewer infrastructure project in [Qingshi City] was rapidly unfolding, a large amount of cement, red bricks, prefabricated panels, and several nearby rivers were dug out by using the "double-connected sand dredging ship platform" designed by Guyi. A large amount of river sand was continuously transported to the huge Shiyuan construction site by carts and horses.

The so-called "double-connected sand dredging ship platform" is actually nothing more than connecting two large ships with strong logs to form a well-shaped floating platform, fixed with eight sets of anchors, and equipped with pulley blocks, A mobile rappelling grab consisting of a winch and a cable shaft.

The crocodile-style iron shell-shaped grab is hung down to the bottom of the river after it is opened, and the lever is pulled by the pull rope to close it, grabbing the river sand at the bottom of the river, pulling it up through the pulley block, draining the river water and then putting it in [舴艋] under the derrick is transported to the shore in a small boat, loaded on a truck and transported away.

On a "double-connected sand dredging ship platform", five sets of slide rail grab frames can be installed, and four shell-shaped grab frames can be installed on each set of slide rail grab frames to operate at the same time, except for the need to be careful when loading the ship In addition to the collision accident, the speed of digging river sand is not too slow.

The only problem is that the price of that kind of [Loufang] is too expensive. Even through the relationship of Ziyu, the second-hand [Loufang] bought from [Nanwan Trading Company] cost about [-] yuan. Gold one.

According to Gu Yi's visual inspection, the displacement of this so-called [loufang] is no more than 200 tons, but this second-hand broken thing is still expensive and has no market. For the sake of ", the [-] ships that were just squeezed out from [Nanwan Trading Company] directly spent [-] million dajin of Gu Yi's little remaining funds!

And even if Guyi is willing to spend more money to buy more, the Nanwan fleet will be killed and unwilling to sell more, because the number of large ships is limited, and there are only ten "double-connected sand dredging ship platforms" that have been transformed, which is seriously limited. With the progress of sand mining, the angry Guyi almost ordered the construction of a dock to build the ship himself.

But after all, shipbuilding is not a problem that can be solved in a short period of time. Guyi can only give up this unrealistic idea. Multiple shell-type grabs are installed, and the [loufang] is assembled and transformed into "multi-connected" and "row-connected" platforms, which are used in areas with wide river surfaces.

According to the maximum installation of slide rail grab frames and shell-shaped grabs on 380 ships [Loufang], in theory, a total of 10 shell-shaped grabs can be installed, and each shell-shaped grab can grab one ton of sand each time. Around, in waters with small water depth, it takes about [-] to [-] minutes for a grabbing + loading action.

That is to say, if extreme operations are carried out without stopping for 24 hours, in theory, the sand dredging platform composed of twenty [loufang] can produce as much as 360 tons of river sand per day. Width, disassembly, component failure, platform movement and other problems, it is not bad if the daily output can reach [-] tons.

[-] tons of river sand can only barely supply the consumption of the Shangshiyuan construction site. Whether it is the output of red bricks, cement or prefabricated panels, it is unrealistic to meet the needs of building the city wall in a short period of time. Guyi can only Temporarily gave up the plan to build the city wall, and first built the buildings in the city.

And in order to supply the demand of super-giant construction sites with an overall area of ​​up to [-] square kilometers, whether it is from the sand field by the river or from [Qingwaying] to [Qingshi Mine], it has become a huge The problem.

Although a [Stone Tile Highway] has been built, the transportation is much more convenient, but it can only be transported by wooden carts pulled by thousands of cows, horses, mules, donkeys and other livestock at the [Qingwa Camp], The volume of transportation is simply a drop in the bucket.

Gu Yi, who thought it was too simple at the beginning, is now a little overwhelmed by the frequent occurrence of problems in various parts. He wished that he could order some magic tricks such as summoning. It would be better if a big summoning could move the entire Chinese Academy of Sciences to the wilderness .

Of course, this is nothing more than daydreaming. Food needs to be eaten at one bite, and the road needs to be walked step by step. Before he finally realized that he was really ambitious, although [Bluestone Mine] has a large labor force and a A group of craftsmen with superb craftsmanship, but after all, this is the wilderness in the "original ecology" environment, not the world he used to press a button and everything can be settled for you by machinery.

Although I can't wait to build both [Qingshi City] and [Qingwa City] within a day, but as the project unfolds, Gu Yi has become more and more aware that under the leadership of his former novel house, the completion of the two cities The date is probably far away.

He hates less when he learns how to use it. Now he doesn't know how much he hates himself for not being a technical nerd back then. Anyway, he is much better at working than a novel nerd.

Well, no matter how much Gu Yi sighs, the matter will not be resolved. He still has to figure out a way to solve it as the half-assed chief engineer. The only way is to find a way from the means of transportation!
Gu Yi gritted his teeth and decided to launch the "intercity rail" and "animal traction chain rail car" that he was still conceiving!
Fortunately, there is a large group of "technical personnel" behind him to drive, Gu Yi urgently called a "technical team" composed of master craftsmen, and began to study how to solve the orbital problem.

If you want to use rails, it is unrealistic before he solves the large-scale ironmaking process, so just use wooden rails that have already had mature experimental results in coal mines. It is nothing more than a short service life, failure rate, wear rate too high.

But it doesn't matter, there are a lot of forests on the Qingshi Mountain. With the pure natural green environment of the Great Wilderness World, the tree resources on this Qingshi Mountain alone are enough for him to cause disasters for hundreds of years. It is really impossible to "destroy first, then protect". Just think of a way to plant trees.

Anyway, during this period of time, with the upgrading of various production tools of carpentry and ironworkers, the productivity of carpenter camps and blacksmith camps has risen rapidly, and the expansion of [-] craftsmen and slaves according to his compulsory order can also ensure that wooden rails can be replaced whenever they break.

The only problem is the production speed of the slotted iron wheels and bearings, don't even think about the marble bearings, even if the blacksmiths are skilled, they can make a small amount of marbles that meet the requirements, but the quality of the steel is still far away. It is not enough to allow Gu Yi to do what he wants, the wear rate is too high, the service life is too short, and it is not very useful to make it. Moreover, it is too slow to produce marbles one by one by hand, and it cannot be satisfied at all. The upcoming "Intercity Rail Plan" demand.

After Gu Yi put forward a bunch of ideas and found that none of them could be realized, he could only throw the "high technology" aside and directly use the casting method to mass-produce the slotted iron wheels and round rods, wear?fracture?Change as it breaks!

In this reckless style, the "construction team" led by Guyi himself laid eight wooden sleeper roads with a length of 35 kilometers on the [Stone Tile Highway] in a short period of time, and produced countless in batches. Box trucks for transporting construction materials!

A "animal-drawn train" will use four horses as the "power" to pull twelve iron wheel box cars with a theoretical load of twelve tons and a speed of twenty kilometers per hour, which means that it can be transported in an average of two hours. a trip.

This kind of "animal-drawn train", Gu Yi and his fellow built a hundred teams, but allocated more than 600 pack horses. On average, each train was allocated [-] pack horses. After all, those horses eat grass, not drink oil. , people have to rest.

Sixteen horses were divided into four groups, and each group ran three times a day in rotation, that is, a "animal-drawn train" transported twelve times a day, and a total of [-] tractors transported nearly [-] tons of building materials a day!

In order to ensure the smooth operation of these eight wooden sleeper roads, Guyi had to pile up a large number of spare parts on both sides of the [Shiwa Highway], and at the same time dispatched a hundred maintenance teams to carry out inspections and surprise repairs 24 hours a day. Only then did they barely meet the construction material needs of the Shiyuan construction site!
After several months of busy work, all the links were finally connected. On the huge stone field, one after another neatly planned residential quarters rose from the ground at a rate of almost one floor per day.

The scaffolding made of bamboo forms grids one by one on the outer wall of the building. Each bamboo is tightly bound by bundles of vines hammered from old vines in the mountains. Groups of slaves who have undergone collective training They crawled flexibly on the scaffolding like monkeys.

The mixing pool made of thick giant tiles, prefabricated panels, and red bricks looks like a huge toilet, and a multi-layer propeller driven by a cow-force winch is stirring the cement in the pool. For the mortar, the slaves kept pouring baskets of sand and straw bags of cement into the mixing pool.

After the mixing is complete, the slurry outlet under the mixing tank is opened, and the viscous cement slurry flows out and is poured into trailers with waterproof tiles inside. Chi!" and dragged them to various construction sites.

Then the wooden winch lift dragged by the old cow was pulled up to the high construction layer, and then it was wiped on the red bricks layer by layer, and a layer of red bricks was neatly stacked!
This kind of scene is going on simultaneously on the entire stone field, and the fiery atmosphere emanating from the simultaneous labor of countless people looks very shocking and spectacular!

According to Dahuang's specifications, these small communities should be called "workshops", but Guyi doesn't plan to call them that. In his plan, these small communities will have their own independent names in the future, like a coal mining community , Shachang District, Brick Factory District, Lime Factory District, Cement Factory District, Carpentry District, Masonry District, Ironworks District...

　Trouble: I just saw some book reviews from book friends, saying that the plot has suddenly changed from a fantasy upgrade to an industrial development. In order to prevent the loss of readers, here is a little spoiler.The main theme of the story is fantasy adventure. The purpose of building an industrialized base is to pave the way for the development of the plot in the middle and late stages. As mentioned before, it can be seen from the Dahao who can "break the mountain with his fist" that Dahuang is a master of martial arts or even super. Wu Shijie is not the protagonist of a technology geek, and it is impossible to rely on his "golden fingers" to overwhelm the balance. Moreover, there are "skilled men" in the article. Their abilities are not necessarily inferior to technology, so In order to prevent the protagonist from being trampled on like a bug, I plan to launch an aircraft carrier or even an aerospace aircraft carrier in the next step... Finally, please ask for a ticket!
