After repeating it dozens of times, the tatters turned into two flaming red iron blocks.

After another period of violent beating, the iron block turned into two iron bars.

After Fang Xiaoyue used tools to continuously beat, file and trim the iron bars, they gradually turned into two embryonic bearings.

Then throw it into a small bucket to quench.

As the bearing was thrown in, fire suddenly appeared in the keg.

This is not surprising, this thing was quenched with a little bit of vegetable oil that Zhang Daniu brought from home.

If quenched with cold water, the bearing steel will become brittle and completely unsuitable to withstand the high-speed rotation of the water pump.

Of course, the next step is tempering.

Fang Xiaoyue put the quenched bearing back into the furnace for heating.

The standard method is to heat to 400 degrees and then cool naturally.

But he doesn't have a special thermometer in his hand now. He can only rely on the effect of alertness expertise to observe the color change of the bearing with the naked eye to determine the temperature.

Finally, after Fang Xiaoyue carefully polished them with fine sand, two shiny silver bearings came out of the oven.

After reassembling the water pump, Fang Xiaoyue handed over the power to start the water pump to Zhang Daniu.

Even though Zhang Daniu was the captain, he became slightly nervous under the gazes of the villagers.

He wiped away the sweat that came out due to nervousness and the heat, grabbed the rope, and pulled hard. After going back and forth several times, the water pump roared to life, and the rapidly rotating blade fan formed a vacuum and negative pressure, and the river water continued to flow.

Extract it and send it to dry fields.
