Chapter 502 [Technical level upgrade]

  Since the divination, Fang Chang has a solid understanding of the intersection of the two worlds, and his spiritual perception has become clearer.

  After that, he didn't go down the mountain again, but stayed on the mountain to build and cultivate, and prepared a big plan by the way—at least for Xianqiya, it was not a small plan.

  He is going to upgrade his workshop.

  In the original Fanglong workshop, all operations were mainly done by hand, and although this was leisurely, the efficiency was too low. He was going to spend some time to make some modifications to it, mainly to install a hydroelectric generator under the waterfall, use wires to lead the electricity to the shed on the cliff, and then try to make some simple machine tools.

  This is in line with the natural way I hold, and it is not lacking in fun and can improve efficiency.

   And he can also record the development process and pass it on to the world in the future. Although he doesn't care about this merit, this matter is interesting enough. I already have a long lifespan, and in this process, it is very good to find some interesting things to do.

  Thinking of this, Chang Fang had a flash of inspiration, and immediately had more thoughts.

  For example, if I have the conditions in the future, I can also make some appliances such as steam engines. I also record the development process, and go down the mountain to find someone who is destined to give it as a gift. Anyway, my blue cloth backpack is enough to hold it.

  These practices are just fun, and not bad taste, after all, they are considered to be done according to the prosperity.

   Just do what you say.

  Of course, under the current conditions, what Fang Chang is sure to manufacture are some woodworking machine tools.

  As for the machine tool that can cut steel, he doesn't have much hope in a short time. After all, the requirements for this are not low in all aspects. However, for the future, the machine tool for cutting steel must also be completed.

   These are not small projects, and he will continue to devote his time to them.

  There are not many things to do on the cliff. My own grain fields, vegetable borders, medicine fields, and flower fields do not require much work. Moreover, Fang Changli has a strong hand and works very fast, so he has enough free time.

   As for the affairs of the two realms, Fang Chang also has arrangements.

  Now his spiritual sense has become clear, and the spiritual sense tells him that the time to deal with this matter has not yet come.

  From this point of view, the catastrophe is really good in the past, after all, there is no thick cover to mess up the secrets of heaven. Practitioners affected by the catastrophe have almost lost their instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, which not only increases the difficulty for them to do things, but also greatly increases the probability of them encountering disasters.

  ...

  Fang Chang’s first step was to smelt enough copper.

  Whether it is wires or the inside of power generation equipment, this metal is indispensable. After all, it is too luxurious to use silver to make it. Although iron wires are not bad, their heat is too high, which not only consumes energy, but also poses a safety hazard.

This is not a big problem. Fortunately, the space inside his green cloth bag is wide enough, so Fang Chang gave up the bamboo basket he used to carry, and kept digging at the copper mine until he packed most of the bag, and then carried it back to the cliff. , looking for a flat stone clearing to pour out.

  Suddenly, a hill-like copper ore poured out of the blue cloth package in his hand and piled there, the height of the spire even surpassed the warehouse and workshop next to it.

  He wants to smelt these ores as soon as possible.

   After all, copper ore is somewhat toxic, so be careful to be washed by rainwater, polluting nearby land and downstream water sources. Fortunately, Fang Chang sensed that the weather will be fine for the next period of time, suitable for him to open the stove.

  So for the next period of time, he kept digging coal to make coke, and then started a furnace to smelt copper.

  Golden copper juice continuously flows out from the furnace exit, flows along the groove into the reserved solidification groove, and becomes copper rods that are not round.

  In the sky above Xianqi Cliff, smoke kept rising into the sky, turning the clouds into black.

   Of course no one noticed.

The next thing was more labor-intensive. Fang Chang cast a steel plate with round holes of different diameters, fixed it on the ground upright, and then smashed the copper rod with a sharp end, and pierced it through the hole slightly smaller than the diameter of the copper rod. Grab the prong that goes through the hole and pull hard.

  In the mortal world under the mountain, this step is all done by tools, either pulleys or rockers.

   But Fang Chang, relying on his strength, omitted this step, and he directly grabbed it with his hands, which was more efficient. The thickness of the soft copper is limited by the hard iron. Walking through the hole once, it becomes a bit more slender, and then changes to a thinner hole. After going back and forth more than ten times, the copper rod becomes a long rod. long copper wire.

   Since the copper is square and no other metals are added, it has a high purity and is therefore softer. The large plate of copper wires shines with a purple-gold luster in the sunlight. And the hill made of copper ore next to it, with the help of the newly added coke pile, quickly reduced, and what was left was a large pile of slag.

Fang Chang was just initially and simply upgrading the level of the tools on the cliff, so he didn't need to care about the standards. The generator he was going to make was a stupid thing, as long as it could generate electricity under the water of the waterfall, It is success.

  So he cast a large iron shell, made an iron rod, finely polished it to ensure it was round enough, and then started to make the skeleton winding. This work took up a lot of his time, and the notes used to record the manufacturing process became longer and longer.

  The insulation of the copper wire is a big problem. He tried a variety of materials, and finally used cloth soaked in tung oil, which was treated and wrapped around the copper wire to isolate the current. This kind of copper wire can not only be used in the motor, but also can be used as the material of the transmission line.

  Next, he chose a suitable location and dug a big hole in the cliff.

  The entrance of the cave is behind the waterfall, which is still relatively hidden, but a huge iron waterwheel was made in the back, and it was placed in the cave behind the waterfall.

  In fact, the waterfall flowing down from Xianqi Cliff does not have a large water flow, but because of the sufficient drop, the water flow is not low. The impact of the water flow caused the iron waterwheel to slowly rotate, and also caused the waterfall to fall into the position of the pool below, a little bit off, and kept swinging.

  If you want to come to the bottom of the pool below, it will soon show a new terrain under the impact of the new water flow.

  ...

  Shan Shen Zhang Chun has had a good life in recent years.

Many pedestrians passing by will come to their small temple to worship and pray for safety. After the expansion, the small temple is full of incense, and their cultivation base has also increased, and they have a wider range of communication. Many old friends.

   Moreover, thanks to Fang Shangxian, I also found a hobby, playing chess.

  Because there are not many tasks every day and every day is very leisurely, Zhang Chun spends most of his time playing chess with people and on the way to find people to play chess with.

   Thank you and you can tip.
