I don't want to be a saint

Chapter 129 Cool!
Yang Licheng and Lao Huangtouer are both old carpenters with many years of experience, so there is nothing to say about their craftsmanship.

Coupled with Guo Yi's assistance, a small thresher with a length of one meter was completed in about an hour.

Like a tractor, it has a crank.

The three of them, King Chu and Yang Licheng, walked around the strange thing in front of them twice, but couldn't understand how it was used.

And Guo Yi greeted a strong man and asked him to go outside and pull some 'crazy rice'.

It is a type of wild rice, or a plant of the same family as wild rice.The rice is ripe earlier than usual, and it competes with the rice for fat and honor.

Commonly known as, crazy rice!

After most people see it, they will pull it out.But there are also some people who specialize in this kind of "crazy rice" and hybridize it with ordinary rice.I want the normal rice to mature faster.

Of course, the common people at this time did not have the concept of interbreeding, but they already had this awareness.

They will not only select this early-maturing crazy rice for hybridization, but also consciously keep those rice with tall stems and large ears as seeds.

Just like those rich and nobles... the young children of the rich and nobles will be on duty in the palace, and they will consciously look for those tall girls, regardless of their background, as long as they are tall.

Because the children born to those tall girls are likely to be tall as well.In this way, it is passed down from generation to generation, and over time, future generations will become higher and higher.

And these paddies are also operated in the same way.This is also the progenitor of the hybrid.

Soon, the strong man ran over with a large pile of crazy rice.

In this season, the ordinary rice is only slightly yellowed, but these crazy rice is already yellow all over, and it looks like it is about to be ripe.

Guo Yi looked at the crazy rice and couldn't help nodding in satisfaction. The more ripe the rice, the cleaner the grains are.

I saw that he grabbed two handfuls of crazy rice, stuffed them into the inlet on the thresher, and then turned the handle.

But within two clicks, it got stuck.

Uh... It's normal, you have to adjust the angle of the spiral.Skillfully disassemble the wooden barrel, grab the rice and make adjustments.

After doing this three times, it finally went smoothly.

First fill the crazy rice into the entrance, turn the handle, and with the sound of clattering, the straw and grains are perfectly separated and come out from the lower mouth of the barrel.

Soon, a large pile of crazy rice was finished.

But Guo Yi was still not satisfied, so he asked the strong man to bring a bunch of them over, turned the crank again, and finished the beating with a whoosh.

Cool!
Looking at the three of them, the King of Chu and Yang Licheng, they all looked dumbfounded, looking at them with disbelief...

After a while, the old Huangtou came back to his senses, squatted down quickly, stretched out his hands and pulled the straw, and looked at it, there was nothing on it!
Look under those stalks, there is a full layer of grains.

"Good stuff!"

The old yellow man couldn't help but exclaimed loudly, his hands were shaking with excitement.Moreover, his eyes were already filled with tears, but he didn't bother to wipe them away, letting the tears flow sideways: "Good stuff!"

"Hmm! Hmm! Hmm!" Yang Licheng stroked the threshing machine, and nodded happily: "It's a good thing! It's a good thing!"

But the King of Chu was more direct: "Hire some more carpenters, with a salary of two hundred cash, to make a model of this threshing machine!"

Originally, it took at least half a month of work to use the flail, but with this thresher, it can be completed in two or three days!
No need to worry about it raining in the middle of the night...

There is simply no comparison between the two.

Guo Yi twitched his lips in disdain. Just this, he is still a thousand miles away from the combine harvester!
"Erlang, it's so comforting to have you by my side!" King Chu patted him on the shoulder with great emotion.

Guo Yi responded with a smile: "Piaozi is the first step, and this thresher is only the second step. There is also the third step, the wind winch."

"and also?"

The three of them were extremely surprised and exclaimed in unison.

Yang Licheng couldn't wait to ask: "Wind winch, what is that?"

"Hey!" Guo Yi squatted down, stretched out his hand to lift the pile of straw and grains below, and explained: "Then, you see, these straws and grains are all mixed together, and you can use a hoist to lift them up." Elevate, and then use a large fan to blow out the stalks.

Because the stalks are lighter than the grains, a gust of wind can separate them. "

After he finished speaking, the three of them half-understood, as if grasping something, but it was extremely vague.

Seeing this, Guo Yi was very helpless, and couldn't help but look up at the sky. Seeing that it was still early, he waved his hand and lamented, "Oh, forget it. Send the Buddha to the west!"

It's just a simple hydraulic hoist, plus a hydraulic fan, it doesn't take much effort to fly.

Just make a rough one and let them know the reasoning.

Ever since, Guo Yi used his words to direct, Yang Licheng and the old Huangtou moved swiftly, and the king of Chu was an absolute spectator, neither his mouth nor his hands.

As the saying goes, there are things to do and things to watch...

It is also a clear division of labor.

Another hour, when the sun was setting to the west and the treetops were hanging high, a set of small hydraulic windmill winches was completed.

The main reason is that it takes too much time to adjust the angle of the fan blades. After all, there is no systematic study and I don’t know how to calculate.Only the most stupid method can be used to adjust bit by bit until the wind is at its maximum.

The large fan blades with a radius of [-] cm can catch up with modern industrial fans.

However, like the threshing machine just now, it is still hand-cranked... It has a sense of sight of a hand-cranked tractor!

Of course, just as a model, it is enough.

As for the feeding belt of the hoist, it was made on the spot without Yang Licheng's coat.

Next, the performance will be conducted by Guo Yi.

Yang Licheng turned the fan, and Old Huangtou turned the winch.He put the mixture of straw and grain into the wooden pool under the hoist.

Then, with the rotation of the winch, the feeding belt transports the mixture of straw and grains to the mid-air, and then slowly falls.

In the process of falling, the gust of wind from the fan came, blowing out the light stalks, while the heavy grains continued to fall, so the perfect separation!
Pretty!

Guo Yi applauds himself, not for anything else, because these are his own knowledge, and it is also one of the few things that he knows without being taught by the system.

This is not only a thresher and hoist, but also one of the few dignity!

Dog system, you don't need to teach it, the young master can...

Compared with the threshing machine, this hoist has no profound reason, it is simply blown by the wind.

"Erlang is indeed a great talent! To have you as my assistant, I am so lucky!" His Royal Highness Chu Wang was full of emotion.

Guo Yi shook his head humbly: "It's nothing, this wind winch is said to have existed in the Han Dynasty, but it was lost later. Only a few words were left in the history books. What a pity!"
