The fourth update of Chapter 462: Coal Light Stone Returns to Life and Pregnancy
On August 15th, everyone ate moon cakes and grapes.
People from Xiaqiu Village and Niwan, the village chief and Hanhan accompanied Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi to inspect the open-pit coal mine here.
Even in open-pit mines, there are still people fighting to support the shafts.
Once the digging is deep, there will be water accumulation, and there will be rain when it rains, so the craftsmen choose low-lying places to dig wells.
The water will flow into the well, and someone will lift the water up in the well with a bucket.
If the terrain is higher, craftsmen will build a drainage canal to guide the water out.
At the same time, rail cars were also used in coal mines, which were connected to ropes and had winches on them. The rail car wheels and winches had braking devices.
"It's long, can we use manual pedaling to save energy?"
Zhu Fang looked at the rail car transportation which was also very hard. There were people pushing behind and people twisting above.
He remembered that the pedaling device can also change speed. With one person pedaling, it should be faster
"The chain cannot bear it. Our skills are still poor. On flat ground If the chain is broken, it will be broken, or when going up a small slope, it will stop or slide away.
The amount of coal in the car in front of you is too much. Once it suddenly breaks, the brake will not work. It may not be easy to use, and it will always break, and the chain cannot be repaired.
The winch above can be installed with a gear set, the small gear drives the large gear, and the rod connected to the small gear is lengthened.
Power multiplied by the power arm equals resistance multiplied by the resistance arm. It is easier to twist one circle at the top and go up five steps from the bottom to three steps from the top. ”
The leader knows where the technology in the village is. That kind of chain is too difficult to build and is not cost-effective to use in a coal mine.
"It's a pity that there is no river next to it. It would be nice to have an extra river and use a waterwheel."
Zhao Li didn't understand the dynamic resistance. He was trying his best to participate and help out. idea.
"Zhao Lichang wants to make the coal mine water-permeable and there is a river next to it. Who dares to dig?" Zhu Fang smiled, Zhao Lichang is afraid of lack of water
"This coal looks like It's okay. We can transport it by river and send it to places in the south of the Yangtze River that are short of coal. "Li Chang, are there any coal mines in Yingtianfu?"
Zhu Biao knelt down and picked up a piece of coal to take a look at it and weighed it again to confirm that it was coal. , not a stone, that is, gangue.
Look at the weight. Coal is much lighter than normal stone. Otherwise, it is a stone that can burn a little, but is not easy to burn. It needs to be washed out through coal washing.
Coal washing is very hard, but it is a necessary step. Otherwise, throwing in bad coal for iron and steel making will delay things.
The same is true for stewing coal coke. Before stewing, screen it first and select the good ones.
In the process of coal washing, there are stones and coal slime. The coal slime is given directly to the local people, who use it to make coal.
Other people who are far away from the coal mines can hire a boat or car to load them and transport them back.
"Yiji, is it difficult to pull coal slime in the village?" the village chief asked Zhao Li.
“It’s troublesome to pull coal slime with a truck, and it’s troublesome to get briquettes, and I’m always worried about carbon poisoning, so I don’t dare to press the stove at night in winter.”
Zhao Li shook his head and complained about the bad coal briquettes. Burning, it is not as good as lump coal, but lump coal needs money to buy, who can do this?
After he finished speaking, he looked at the village chief and asked, "Yichang, do you burn coal in your village?"
p>
“If you don’t burn, use coke and good coal in Xiaqiu Village, and don’t burn the stove in winter. The key is that it’s not cold.
Burn it once before going to bed at night, and you can survive until the next day. You are not afraid of being poisoned by charcoal.
In fact, you can make coal burn better. We can make ceramics without lack of clay.
You can mix clay and coal slime. You can try it a few times as much as you like.
Then"
The director squatted down, found the place where the wet slime was, and worked hard to make it there. short cylinder, and then use your fingers to insert small holes in the cylinder.
“As you can see, after it dries like this, once it is burned, there will be an empty place for air to enter, which makes it easier to burn than the briquettes that are driven out.
If you don’t use clay, this way The coal is not easy to shape. When making it, first find out the best ratio of clay and slime.
After that, follow that, and get a thicker bamboo tube with bamboo on the back.
Saw most of the front part, leaving the height of the coal pillar, and then use a thin bamboo stick to drill the hole at the back
facing it. The reconciled slime will become one when you press it. Dip it in water first, otherwise it will stick to the bamboo tube."
The director told Zhao Li about practical techniques. It is easy to make and does not require iron. .
Zhao Li imagined it in his mind and nodded, "Okay, I'll find someone to try it out soon to see how much clay is suitable."
The miners over there continued to transport coal, one by one. Everyone is wearing a mask made of layers of gauze.
No one gave masks to people in the mines before, and the miners didn’t know about it. At the same time, no one knew that they would get sick.
All mines now require you to wear a mask. Officially, if you wash it yourself, it can block most of the dust.
This kind of mask is made of skim gauze. The more layers, the safer it is and the harder it is to breathe.
Degreasing is very easy. Just add water and caustic soda to the cotton and boil it.
This operation can prolong the life of the miners. Otherwise, they will get sick early, which will drag down their families and prevent them from working.
The imperial court used money in exchange for a longer working life for the people, thereby increasing the imperial court's fiscal revenue and total social resources.
Three people pushed a cart of coal up from behind. As soon as the car stopped, they immediately took off their masks and sat there panting.
Others took over the cart of coal, and at the same time, someone took notes and paid wages according to the quantity.
The three people who came up looked at their masks, put them up, went to the side to wash their hands and faces, dried them and took them out again.Cover, and then go down together in the empty car.
Obviously they will not wash the masks themselves and throw them to their wives or children at home.
"The soap has been distributed, right?" Zhu Biao asked as he looked at the soap on the place where he washed his face.
The person in charge of the court at the nearby coal mine quickly replied, "Your Highness, don't worry, no one dares to deduct it. We will distribute soap and masks according to the amount of work. The more you work, the more you will get.
Everyone knows that the imperial court produces a lot of iron ore and smelts a lot of steel. We can only rely on the coal mines to support it. We can only wait for coal to be mined, but we cannot wait for coal to be mined. Who dares not to do this? If you take good care of the miners, you will lose your head."
"Do they pay for their meals, or do they get it from the mine?" Zhu Biao asked again.
"I will give you a meal in the mine at noon. If there is an open-pit mine, I will give you a meal in the evening. Anyway, you have to light a lamp when you go inside, no matter the day or night."
This The person in charge on one side mentioned that on the other side, some coal mines are not open-air and need to drill wells.
"No digging here at night" Zhu Biao was confused.
"Yes, but no one has brought food. We can have it in the future and give it a meal in the evening." The person in charge had sweat on his forehead.
"Come here, please ask Manager Wang to take a rest and check the accounts." Zhu Biao's face darkened, what can be done in the future
