Super Chief

Chapter 37: 1 Keep it simple

"Wood planer, I hope you can use the planer in your hand to plan these wooden boards to be flat. Our bellows needs six flat wooden boards as the outer shell! Note, it is flat, not like you made this one. A plank that is even more ugly than a dog chew!"

   Ishikuma said to Mu's second son very unceremoniously, which made Mu Shao, who is not very good at words, ashamed, almost got his head into his crotch.

   For Shixiong's sternness, Mr. Mu'er didn't say a word for five. It is indeed the bellows that the guardian said for them, it is simply too shocking. They dare not make a face to a Guardian who can design such a magical thing, not to mention that the Guardian's physique really makes people afraid to get angry.

Looking back, Shi Xiong’s face became calmer. He said to Wood’s little grandson Bow Drill, “Bow Drill, do you know what your grandpa gave you this name? Remember, your name is Bow drills, and what are bow drills used for? Bow drills are used to drill eyes."

As he said, the stone bear squatted down and pointed to the square hole on the upper part of the tailgate and said: "You can rivet two thicker square wooden prongs above this hole, and then give the upper part of these two wooden prongs. Drill holes. Then drill the top of the sling plate out of the holes, and then use a wooden rod to pass through these eyes, this sling plate will not be made? When the wind plate in the wind box is pulled back, The outside air will push off the sling plate and enter the inside of the wind box. When the wind plate is pushed forward, the air in the back half of the wind box will hold the sling plate, preventing the air from going out of this hole. It can only enter the bottom of the wind box along the vent at the rear end of the partition, and finally exit along the air outlet."

   Ishikuma’s explanation made Mu Mu’s eyes light up. He couldn’t wait to ask, "Master Guardian, the dovetail wing plate at the bottom of the bellows does the same, right?"

   "That's right, the dovetail wing plate does the same, but the lifting plate moves up and down, while the dovetail wing plate moves horizontally. The principle is the same."

   "Haha, then I know how to make this bellows!" Wood laughed openly.

"Well, knowing how to do it is not enough. You must pay attention to the details. Our bellows is a tool that needs to be used for a long time, and there will be countless frictions between the wind plate and the shell, so the wood of the shell must be Make it flat, otherwise this bellows will be a waste product. I don’t think you, as the first carpenter of our tribe, would like to see that your work is a defective product, right?"

Wood nodded and bowed in agreement, then turned his head and roared at his second son, Mu Shao, "Have you heard the words of Master Guardian? Hurry up and trim all these wooden boards for me. If there is any unevenness, Lao Tzu. Break your leg!"

  Well, Mumu's remarks are definitely not said in Indian, but the meaning is roughly the same...

   It seems that whether it is in China or North America, Lao Tzu's beating his son seems to be justified.

   Before leaving, Shixiong poured the carpenter family's first bowl of chicken soup since he came to this world.

"Wood, you must remember that in the future our tribe will need more and more tools, and these tools are inseparable from the support of you and your family. Therefore, when you make this bellows this time, you must Summarize the experience in the production process, and keep these experiences firmly in mind. Craftsmanship is inherited, and this experience is a more important inheritance than craftsmanship. I look forward to the first carpenter of our Gaoshu tribe to become the whole in the future. The first carpenter among the Cherokee tribe and all our natives!"

   Although the old wood has lived for almost sixty years, how can he ever drink such a rich chicken soup? So after Shixiong’s bowl of chicken soup was poured in, the Mutsu family, including Lao Mutsu, immediately seemed to have blood...

   Two days passed in a flash. The one-and-a-half-meter-diameter and nearly two-meter-deep pit on the east side of the tribe has been dug. Now a group of tribesmen are digging a fire path according to the instructions of the stone bear.

   This fire road leads directly to the stone house next to the big pit. The stone house is built entirely of stones, with a thick layer of mud on the inside and outside, and the roof is built with wooden planks, but there is a thick layer of mud under the wooden planks. The mud is covered by a few in the house. The stone pillars are supported on several slates, so that the heat generated when the bricks are burnt can be prevented from igniting the wooden boards.

   This house dedicated to fire bricks cannot be called a brick kiln at all, but there is no way. Under these circumstances, being able to build such a stone house has reached the limit of the tribe. And Shixiong knew very well that if UU reading www.uukanshu.com really allowed these tribesmen to build a real brick kiln, then he himself might have to be broken down by these tribesmen asking questions!

   Anyway, this stone house can also burn bricks, and Ishikuma has no plans to burn as many refractory bricks as it is enough, so this stone house will be ready for the time being!

   It is the big pit for coking outside that can be loaded with about five tons of coal at one time. When coking, the coal is packed in a large pit, and then the top is sealed with mud, leaving a flashing eye in the middle. Once the coal below is ignited, the flashing eye will be immediately sealed, and the coal will be deprived of oxygen. Slowly refine into coke in the state.

   As for the fire path being excavated, it is specially designed to pour the waste heat generated during the coking process into the stone house.

Before the focus of the fire, the dry refractory bricks will be stacked in the stone house. After the coking starts, the high-temperature flue gas generated by the coking will enter the stone house along the fire path to heat the refractory bricks. And finally these bricks are fired into refractory bricks.

   In fact, whether it is the big pit for coking or the stone house where refractory bricks are fired, they are all products of compromise. They are even simpler than the clay coke kilns and clay brick kilns used by the Chinese ancestors to make coking and bricks, but there is really no way. The first batch of coke and refractory bricks can only be made by this method.

   Keep everything simple!

   However, compared to this coking pit and the stone house, Shixiong still has something more primitive in his hand, that is, the clay furnace he prepared for the first steelmaking and the clay crucible made of kaolin.

Looking at the humble stove in front of him that seemed to be set up during the children's house and the clay crucible that looked frightening, Shixiong himself couldn't help expressing a serious contempt for his and Kuaima's craftsmanship.. ....
