Chapter 406 Ice Machine

"Use an animal machine." Wang Luobin finally used this thing.

The so-called animal power machine is a kind of transmission device that livestock uses its own weight, pedaling force and traction force to change into rotary power, and then transmits it to various working machines. Its working efficiency is actually very limited, and it can only be used to drive various More complex machinery was widely used in Europe and the United States in the early 19th century before electricity and steam engines were popularized, including driving various agricultural equipment, lifting ore in mines, pumping water, and even driving machine tools in factories.

After the steam engine technology matured, this kind of animal-powered machine was quickly eliminated. It continued to be used in rural areas for a period of time, and gradually disappeared completely.

The animal power machine that Wang Luobin plans to use to drive the water pump is an inclined crawler type.To put it vividly, it is a cow or a horse running in situ on a treadmill.A large flywheel is installed on the shaft of the wooden crawler to adjust the speed, and it is driven by a pulley.This kind of animal power machine can be made very large, enough to accommodate 2 to 3 livestock at the same time.

Considering that the long-term stable output power equivalent of a cow in actual work is only equivalent to 411W, and two cows doing work at the same time can guarantee an output power of slightly more than 1 horsepower, so Wang Luobin designed two identical machines so that they can be After the cow is tired, switch quickly to ensure uninterrupted pumping.

Of course, to ensure that this machine can operate effectively for a long time, sufficient livestock must be raised.To be on the safe side, it is best to have 6 to 8 heads.This is relatively easy, just build a barn specially.Raising chickens in modern cities is also subject to crackdowns, but it was normal for residents of ancient cities to raise pigs. In the first half of the 20th century, there were still many people raising sheep and cattle in the dignified urban residential areas of Beijing, and some restaurants and restaurants even raised hundreds of sheep.

Wang Luobin pointed out by the way that relying on shallow groundwater to build such a tap water system can only satisfy a small scale, and it is really difficult to supply the bathing places. The amount of water produced has been greatly reduced - because the water table is not being replenished as quickly as one might think.

The best way to ensure supply is to drill deep wells into the aquifer, where there is plenty of water and a stable supply.

"A two-stage segmental water supply is adopted, and an animal machine is used to pump water from the deep well to the surface reservoir, and then pump water from the reservoir to the water tower. This kind of pumping journey is shorter."

"Drilling small deep wells?" Zhang Xingpei shook his head again and again, "Drilling deep wells is too technical. There is no such technology in this time and space, but there is. Where can I find the special steel casing for drilling wells? Is it provided by the Industrial Energy Commission? Besides When a deep well is drilled, the manual pump will be useless..."

"It's not difficult. You don't even need a labor and energy commission to come forward to work." Wang Luobin asked, "Do you know the Zigong Salt Well in Sichuan?"

"Where is the salt boiled in brine?"

"The ancient salt wells and natural gas wells in Zigong were all at depths of hundreds of meters or even thousands of meters, and deep wells were dug by primitive means, so technically it is not a problem."

"The problem is that the salt workers are in Sichuan."

"It's okay, just ask the Guangzhou station to find a way to recruit some people. There must be brave men under the reward. Let them open deep wells as soon as they come. The deep wells for collecting water here don't need to be drilled for hundreds of meters. I think it takes 50 meters." Rice is enough."

This matter was soon implemented. Guo Yi wrote a letter to Qi Wei, asking them to go to the Artesian Well in Sichuan immediately and recruit local salt workers who can dig wells.

Although the arrogant shopkeeper Sun was confused about what he wanted the salt worker to do all of a sudden—he even named the salt worker from Sichuan, and he was still wondering, maybe the Australians knew that there were salt wells underground in this area?But Guangdong itself is a salt-producing area, and there is no benefit in drilling wells.What's more, there are government issues.But he is used to the crazy and unreasonable behavior of the Australians.They also know what they want to do, and how much money they will spend to do it.Immediately sent his men to do it,

Another problem that Zhang Xingpei encountered was that most modern public buildings, including restaurants, bathhouses, and museums, rely on artificial lighting, and relatively little consideration is given to natural lighting.It is impossible to use modern lighting equipment here, and candles, oil lamps and other devices are extremely easy to cause fires, so natural light must be used as much as possible in the entire design process. For this reason, he used a lot of glass and opened skylights on the roof. .Glass tiles are even used on some roofs to enhance light transmission.

"This should be regarded as extremely environmentally friendly." Zhang Xingpei looked at his design drawing quite complacently, and he was extremely versatile in terms of lighting.

"Maybe everyone will come to buy glass for windows when they see the effect of glass for windows." Zhang Xin studied the design drawings for a long time, "I just don't know if the glass factory can guarantee the supply."

"No problem." Zhang Xingpei knew that since the expansion of Changhua Fort began, it would be a matter of time before a large amount of quartz sand was mined.Moreover, the machinery factory is working on a major technical transformation project of the glass factory: the automatic blowing system, and the study of blowing glass bottles in batches with compressed air-once this problem is solved, the production of glass bottles will increase dramatically, and more will be released. There are many skilled workers in the production of flat glass.

Various enjoyments to be used in Ziming Building are also being trial-produced and put into small-scale production continuously.What has been confirmed to be included in Ziminglou's promotion is kvass - this kind of carbonated drink has proven to be popular with the indigenous people in Lingao.Huang Dashan asked Hu Yicheng to distill some local spices: mint, orange peel and the like, as spices.After re-blending, kvass becomes a drink with flavors of fruit and herbs.

Leizhou rum is also in the promotion project of Ziminglou.Pure rum has nothing special compared to traditional Chinese distilled liquor, so Pei Lixiu’s idea is to sell cocktails. Of course, there will be no soda water for a while, but adding sugar liquid and fruit juice to rum can still did it.

"I think the rum is a bit feminine after doing this." Zhang Xinhao commented after drinking a few glasses of fruit rum.

"Traditionally, women don't drink alcohol. If we can attract women to drink too, the business will be big..." Pei Lixiu said.

"Do you think there will be women coming to Ziming Building?" Guo Yi said angrily.

"Why not? Life in the mansion is also empty and lonely..."

Pei Lixiu's idea is to set up a women's salon or something like that, talk about poetry, engage in literature, and recite poems to make friends.

"Okay, your idea is fine, but who can you attract? Obviously, there are only famous courtesans. Women from good families will not come to your salon..."

"It's good to have famous prostitutes who are willing to participate." Zhang Xin said, "The first thing is to gather popularity for us, which is also a celebrity effect. Besides, it is easier to use ready-made ones than to cultivate them yourself, and there is no verbal dispute"? Lost?

The so-called war of words naturally refers to the 500 people in Lingao. For the issue of slavery, the Lingao Times has published several issues of different views. Those who support the abolition of slavery and slavery have their own opinions. Naturally, there are people who play soy sauce and mud .

Ziminglou's recruitment of young women in Guangzhou to train massage girls and dancers has been questioned by many people, especially Du Wen. "The reverse of history", reminding everyone to be vigilant against "the resurgence of feudal ideas that play with women"... However, she contacted Li Mei in an attempt to issue a protest letter in the name of the Women's Federation, but she failed-Li Mei was very interested in this matter, and had I just want to set up a similar entertainment venue in Lingao.

"Secondly, the famous prostitutes in the late Ming Dynasty had a great social influence. Whether it was selling goods, or influencing some officials and gentry, and inquiring about news, they all had natural advantages-think about Qinhuai Bayan. And this time and space are many High-ranking officials and nobles like to marry famous prostitutes as concubines, and the sisterhood between them is also something we can use."

"Try it." Guo Yi nodded, then turned to Pei Lixiu and said, "You have this idea, probably because you already have a suitable salon partner."

"Of course," Pei Lixiu smiled sweetly, "Master, you are truly astute..."

"Okay, okay, stop filling the rice soup, let's talk about the situation."

Sure enough, Pei Lixiu has made friends with several sisters in the past few months, and they are basically concubines of wealthy families.Among them were the concubines of Dong Jizhong and others who lent money to Guo Yi during the Leizhou Sugar War.These people are full of food all day long, they are the masters who are very quiet and think about movement, they often walk around among women, Pei Lixiu can speak well, and there are many new things that are not available in the local area, after going back and forth, they formed a friendship with Pei Lixiu.

"Well, that's good, at least you can blow pillows when necessary. But the status of these people is not high, you have to try to make friends with higher levels."

"Sister Su said that she has a little sister who is Gao Qinshun's concubine. She has heard about the benefits of Australian products. If it wasn't for the recent demolition of the Ziming Building, she would like to come and see it."

Gao Qinshun's name was known to Guo Yi and others. He was an inspector of Guangdong.Knowing what he was thinking in bed would be of great benefit to intelligence work.

"Okay, you follow up on this matter, and you must get her done!"

"Here are some things I want. Can the proprietor do me a favor..." Pei Lixiu said with winking eyes, and handed over a piece of paper.

Zhang Xin's attempt to get a refrigerator in Lingao failed completely—not to mention that the refrigerator is the most important equipment at this stage, even if there is a refrigerator for him, the Guangzhou station still lacks enough electricity to drive it.Just a few solar panels and a pedal generator are enough to power the radio and computer.

Of course, Daming also has a method of refrigeration, which is to use a well, and the temperature in the well can be kept at more than 20 degrees.Generally, preservation is barely enough.But there is no ice in the well, and there is no ice, and the cold drinks such as shaved ice, ice cream, and popsicles proposed by Pei Lixiu are naturally hopeless—the rich and particular people in Guangzhou have their own ice cellars, which store winter ice cream. Sometimes homemade ice cubes, but the vast majority of people do not have this condition.Zhang Xin wrote N times to Mo Xiaoan asking him to help solve this problem.Explain the significance and benefits of this thing.Mo Xiaoan was so disturbed by him that he could not help but go to Zhan Wuya.

"It's not that I don't want to build a refrigerator. With this thing, everyone is comfortable." Zhan Wuya sat in the office of the machinery factory where the temperature was as high as 40 degrees. Outside was a tall truss-style factory building.The heating furnace emits huge heat, the roar of the machine, the rotation of the motor, and the loud noise of the steel during blanking and stamping, making the whole environment extremely hot.Several high-power blower fans made by the machinery factory blow a strong wind that can almost knock people down from the door—it's a pity that it's so hot.

"If it weren't for the air conditioner—" Mo Xiaoan knew that the air conditioner was actually easy to solve. The floor-energy air conditioner installed in the pharmaceutical factory responded quite well after operation. If it didn't cost too much copper, it would have to dig a deep well. It may not have been promoted long ago.It is precisely because of this factor that the air conditioner in the renovation of Ziming Building was temporarily put on hold—the planning committee asked Ziming Building to solve the problems of copper and digging deep wells by itself.Now I can only ask to wait for the salt well workers from Sichuan to come.

"Ice machine, this is even more difficult—" Zhan Wuya shrugged his shoulders, "There is no high-power compressor, no refrigerant, what kind of ice can I use. Even if I can make it in Guangzhou, you plan to give it to them first. Install a generator?"

"That's true." Mo Xiao'an thought about it, it's really hard to handle this matter without electricity, "Is there no way?"

"There is a way to do it. To be honest, it's very primitive and not very economical." Zhan Wuya said, "One thing needs to be confirmed first: Can the animal power machine that Wang Luobin plans to build with you reach 1.5KW?"

"One animal power machine is a little more than 1 horsepower, and two full power is more than 2 horsepower. That's enough."

Zhan Wuya nodded, and made a call to the planning committee. He mentioned "an air conditioner" on the phone, as if he was applying for the use of this air conditioner.Mo Xiaoan waited for a few minutes before Zhan Wuya hung up the phone:

"No problem, the governor agreed. Let's take a look at it in a few days."

"Can it be made?"

"I can't guarantee it yet." Zhan Wuya laughed, "I have an idea of ​​an indigenous method, which has not been verified by technology. It depends on the actual effect after it is manufactured."

After sending Mo Xiaoan away, Zhan Wuya dug out a pack of big red eagles from his locked drawer, carefully pulled out one, held it in his hand, sniffed and played with it for a while before ordering it. up, took a breath.

At present, in order to meet the urgent needs of Guangzhou Station.What Zhan Wuya is preparing to do is a kind of "animal-powered compression refrigerator" designed by him.He immediately called Liang Xin who had nothing to do in the machinery factory, and the two of them took the wrench tools to the exclusive warehouse of the Work Energy Committee.

Although it is the warehouse of the Works and Energy Commission, everything inside is under the absolute management of the Planning Commission. Every pliers, hammer, and screwdriver is registered and recorded, and the responsibility rests with the individual.Any damage or loss must be reported.Management is extremely strict.

All kinds of tools and accessories from the machinery factory are stacked in the warehouse, all of which are packed in boxes with labels and entry and exit lists.Going to the innermost part, there is a pile of solid objects wrapped in oilcloth on the ground, which looks like a machine.

When it was disassembled, there was an air conditioner inside. It was rusty and looked really bad.

This air conditioner was disassembled from a flat-deck self-propelled barge, and it was already scrapped at that time—it was not a professional marine air conditioner, but an ordinary 1.5KW household wall-mounted air conditioner. The crew bought their own to create a comfortable environment.The air conditioner left in the corner of the engine room was already rusty and no longer cooling. When the planning committee collected materials, it was registered and accepted in line with the concept of "things in the 21st century have no waste".

Two people used trolleys to pull the air conditioner into the workshop, opened the outer cover and dismantled it, removed the air conditioner compressor inside, and then removed the evaporator of the air conditioner. This air conditioner is really powerful. There are actually two An evaporator - this kind of corrugated copper tube is a good thing.

"Instead of going to such trouble, why not use a gas refrigerator?" Liang Xin was puzzled.

"Of course a gas refrigerator is good, but we are not up to standard for domestic use. In addition, the gas refrigerator has to be equipped with a gas furnace. To be honest, I don't think it is safe to use it in Ziming Building. There are still weaknesses in seal production.”

The use of gas stoves in Lingao is basically located in a place far away from the crowd. The stove is in charge of the stove and is ventilated on all sides, which is somewhat better in terms of safety.The Ziming building is crowded with people, and if there is a leak, whether it is an explosion or poisoning, it will be a tragedy.

After shorting the compressor clutch, the compressor actually started running.After Zhan Wuya connected the condenser, throttle valve and evaporator he made himself, a simple refrigeration system came out.

Pure green environmental protection animal power ice machine - of course, the effect will be better if there is an electric motor or other power machine.

Then there is the refrigerant.The freon in the broken air conditioner has long since disappeared.Where can I find this refrigerant?Zhan Wuya suddenly realized that he had overlooked this crucial issue.Finally, I thought that although Ma Qianju didn't bring a gun to this time and space, but there are several gas dogs, isn't the F12 used by the gas dogs?This is a good refrigerant!

However, Gas Dog is his private property, and building a small ice machine is not a matter of life or death or industrial upgrading. It is not easy to persuade him to contribute F12.It seemed that he had to come to material temptation——Zhan Wuya suddenly felt that he was wronged: this thing was not made for his own use, so why should he pay for the materials out of his own pocket.

However, the temptation to make equipment by indigenous methods is too great. It is not uncommon to make things by looking at the blueprints. This kind of challenging work is interesting.

Back in the office, he gritted his teeth and took out a high-quality red eagle from the drawer. He opened it and took two packs. After thinking about it, he put another pack back and went to find Ma Qianzhu with only one pack.

Note: The copyright of this ice machine belongs to the temporary crow. It is not known whether it can be used.The original text is driven by a bicycle. He himself explained that the output power of a bicycle cannot drive a compressor.
