Chapter 25 Machinery
Sulun doesn't care about items that can increase attributes at all. It is best if the more you have, the better.
Picking up the Beidou Tianzhu, Su Lun raised his head and took it. A slightly cool energy spread in his body, and soon this energy merged into his body.
"Congratulations to the host, your physique has increased by three points."
Open the system to check, and on his personal panel, his body of twenty-five had already become twenty-eight. After moving his body and adapting to the sudden growth of physique, Su Lun then began to prepare to make a hydraulic forging machine.
The production of hydraulic forging machines is not difficult, because there are two rivers here, each of which has abundant water, so it is absolutely fine to build a hydraulic forging machine.
Su Lun drew all the components of the hydraulic forging machine, and then asked his craftsmen to make them according to the drawings. To put it bluntly, this thing is that the water flow pushes the water wheel to provide power, and then uses the steering device to convert the power provided by the water wheel into the pounding force of the forging hammer. The most critical part is actually the conversion device, but it is very simple to put it bluntly.
The water supply truck was equipped with a concentric shaft. The short cross-wood on the shaft plucked the forging hammer, causing the forging hammer to fall and beat it. This is the simplest hydraulic forging hammer. Sulun made some improvements to it and used gears to change their speed, allowing the hydraulic forging machine to adjust the speed and the force of the beat.
The craftsmen in Sulun's territory were quite good, and the structure of the hydraulic forging machine was not complicated, so his guidance was completed in two days.
"Let's start!" Su Lun took a deep breath and looked at the freshly baked hydraulic forging hammer in front of him nervously.
"Open the gate!" a craftsman shouted. As the sound fell, the gate opened, and the surging river water rushed into the excavated waterway, and soon rushed to the water truck. The heavy water truck was driven by the water flow and then slowly turned.
As the water wheel rotates, the forging hammer connected to it begins to slowly lift, and soon the heavy forging hammer is lifted to a high enough position and then smashed down with a bang.
"Bang!"
The sound of gold was shaking, and sparks were splashing everywhere.
Then the forging hammer was lifted up again and then fell down with a bang.
‘Bang bang bang!’
The dull metal impact sounded constantly, and soon it became one piece. An iron ingot was forged in water and kept beating and deforming under the hammer, and the iron ingot became tighter with the naked eye.
It didn't take long to make the iron ingot the next time, and the iron ingot was forged into a steel ingot. Sulun picked up the steel ingot sent by Bruce and stumbled it with his hands. It was very weighty and tough. Although it was not as good as the kind of steel he obtained from the system, it was not much worse.
"Ding! The hydraulic forging machine was successfully built. The hydraulic forging machine was integrated into the blacksmith shop."
[Hydraulic forging machine: This is a machine with ingenious design. The machine does not have too complex structures. It successfully uses the power of water flow to forge weapons and equipment. Production efficiency +3, steel quality +1]
Su Lun was also very excited to see the system acknowledge the water conservancy forging machine. With this hydraulic forging machine, the production speed of the blacksmith shop has been tripled.
"I did a good job, so I used this steel ingot to produce thirty-five sets of two-handed axes and armor." Su Lun said with satisfaction.
“How long will it take to complete it?”
"Sir, all blacksmiths are apprentices except me. Their skills are still lacking, so the speed of building armor" Bruce said hesitantly.
"I'll give you half a month, with the hydraulic forging hammer, the difficulty of forging weapons and equipment has been reduced, if you can't do it."
"Please rest assured that Sir, I promise to complete the task." Sulun's words made Bruce feel uneasy, and he had no idea of bargaining, so he immediately agreed.
"Okay, I'll give you the equipment drawings later, so I'll create them according to the shapes on the drawings." Su Lun waved his hand, signaled Bruce to leave, then opened the system interface and drew down the equipment about the Barbarian Giant Axe Warrior in the system.
Now that he has the conditions, he is going to replace the savages with the equipment recommended by the system. Soon after Sulun drew the drawings, he asked someone to send them to Bruce.
After the first hydraulic forging machine was built, the hydraulic blower was put on the agenda. With the experience of hydraulic forging machine, the blower was made faster. In just one day, the blower was announced to be completed.
It should be used for hydraulic power, and the blower is much larger than the previous human-powered blowers, which are two meters high and three meters wide. This blower requires at least ten slaves to cooperate with each other to operate. However, driven by the water truck, the blower was easily driven.
"Hosh! Huh!"
As the back and forth alternated, a large amount of heated air was sent to the burning blast furnace, and the temperature of the boiler, which was already very high, increased again. The heat waves were rolling, and several slaves near the blast furnace were red all over, sweating was flushed but were quickly evaporated by the surrounding high temperatures.
A large number of shoddy weapons and some scrap iron were sent to the blast furnace, and then quickly heated, red, and finally softened and liquefied.
[Hydraulic blower: With the help of hydraulic blower equipment, the structure is simple and ingenious, and the furnace temperature can be increased. Working efficiency +2, flame temperature +2]
With the hydraulic blower, the temperature in the blast furnace has been increased again, and the higher temperature has accelerated the melting rate of pig iron and ore, and the speed of iron smelting has increased by one quarter in an instant.
With the addition of hydraulic blowers and hydraulic forging machines, Sulun's blacksmith shop has been increasing continuously. Although there is only this blacksmith shop, it is more than enough to supply territory.
Forging, quenching, grinding, and in the blacksmith shop, Bruce brought several blacksmith apprentices to forge weapons and armor in an orderly manner, and a steel bladed two-handed axe specially made for barbarians was quickly formed.
Sulun picked up a two-handed axe that had been made. This axe was made according to Sulun's drawings. The two-handed axe purchased in the Kingdom of Florence was made according to the body shape of an ordinary human. The handle of the two-handed axe was short and the weight was much lighter. Compared with the axe in Sulun's hand, it was a size smaller.
In fact, the barbarians are not very easy to use, and the axes are also a little light. Who makes these barbarians have an average height of two meters and one, which is at least thirty centimeters taller than the Florentines. The weapons made according to the body shape of the Florentines are not suitable for them to use.
