"Don't worry, don't worry, the effect of the mixed fertilizer needs to be released in the last test. After evaluation, it can be mass-produced and launched on the market." Mixed fertilizer is a product related to the people's livelihood and the national destiny of the Da Song Dynasty, so Ma Hanshan is very cautious. of.
"The last test? Isn't it going to be after autumn?" Shen Wuwan is not indifferent to all kinds of things.
"That's right, the final results will not come until winter. If the results meet expectations, the mixed fertilizer will be produced immediately, and the workshops and craftsmen have already been prepared." Ma Hanshan attaches great importance to mixed fertilizer because it will Change the grain output and population of the Dasong Dynasty. If there is grain, the population will naturally grow.
"However, I have something more powerful now for you two to experience. I guarantee that this will subvert your concept of travel." Ma Hanshan glanced at Shen Wuwan and Zhang Zi and said.
"What is it? Oh, there is a new thing. It's really good. Come on, take it out." Shen Wuwan was a little anxious.
Only after meeting Ma Hanshan did Shen Wuwan realize that this was how business could be done.
Although Ruyi Warehouse is the largest warehouse in Dasong Dynasty, with branches in almost every larger state capital. But what he originally sold were some very backward or traditional products, mostly grain. After all, having a full stomach is the most basic need. Therefore, although it is the largest warehouse in the country, in fact, except for grain and cloth, the goods exchanged from north to south and east to west are almost nothing else.
In fact, Shen Wuwan also wanted to move things from the north, south, west and east, but because of transportation costs, he often couldn't even earn back the transportation costs after moving. Because the materials and needs in the north, south, west and east were extremely unbalanced, it couldn't be done It can be fully loaded both ways, so freight becomes a big problem.
If products are not circulated and money is not circulated, it will be impossible to generate profits and stimulate productivity. It is simply a dream to enrich the country and the people.
"Haha, you two, don't worry, eat first, and then watch after you finish..." Ma Hanshan is also looking forward to the third revised version of the four-wheeled carriage.
Zhang Machinery wrote to say that the biggest change in the third version of the four-wheeled carriage is that the anti-shock system has been greatly improved. There are two aspects of improvement. First, he finally developed the "coil spring" mentioned by Ma Hanshan. Although I'm not very satisfied yet, but it can greatly improve the shock absorption effect of the car. The second version of the carriage only had a few leaf springs for shock protection, and the shock absorption effect was very poor. Now coil springs are added, and the shock absorption effect is greatly improved. The second is , and finally refined the rosin into glue. The original wheels were made of hard wood or iron. When the car was driving, the little bumps and grooves on the road were transmitted to the car, causing it to bump very hard. It is different now. Now the wheels are wrapped with soft rubber. The transmission of road surface irregularities is greatly reduced.
According to a letter from Zhang Machinery, after the earthquake preparedness system was upgraded, the third version of the four-wheel carriage is already very comfortable.
Although Ma Hanshan knew that people in this era had far less comfort requirements than he did, he still looked forward to it.
"You're full, you're full, Brother Ma, hurry up and bring out the new gadgets..." Shen Wuwan and Zhang Zi were so anxious to see Ma Hanshan's new products that they even stopped drinking and just hurriedly picked up half a bowl of rice. Force Ma Hanshan to come up with new toys.
"Okay, well, you don't eat such a delicious dish. What a waste. Waste is shameful." Although Ma Hanshan said yes, he still ate slowly before putting the bowl down.
When Shen Wuwan and Zhang Zi saw Ma Hanshan's carriage, they were not as shocked as Ma Hanshan imagined. They simply didn't even show their surprise. Instead, they shook their heads and sighed in great disappointment.
It was also the first time for Ma Hanshan to see the third version of the four-wheeled carriage. He squatted beside the car and carefully looked at the "suspension" of the rear wheels. Well, although no one in this era knew what suspension was, Mahanshan still named this "vibration attenuation system" ", that is, a shock-proof device.
In Mahanshan's opinion, the suspension system is still very crude. The suspension composed of five leaf springs and one thick coil spring is, in Mahanshan's eyes, just like the shockproof of a walking tractor in the previous life plus a coil spring... In fact, The second version of the carriage suspension is the walk-behind tractor "suspended".
However, although the suspension structure is simple, Ma Hanshan tried it and found that it took a lot of effort to adjust it, but the elasticity is not bad. If the hydraulic shock absorber is developed, the suspension will be perfect. But Ma Hanshan knows that with this In terms of the basic industry of the era, Zhang Machinery will not be able to develop a hydraulic shock absorber until the day he dies. The simplest accessory, the oil seal, cannot be solved until rubber is found. Rosin gum or Eucommia gum may be a substitute. , but the refining method and formula should not be completed in this era.
Mahanshan's eyes fell on the wheels, and he could tell without trying it that this version of the wheels had been greatly improved. The multi-spoke cast iron wheels were similar in style to the most common bucket wheels on the construction sites of Mahanshan's previous life. This wheel It is cast, not assembled with steel wires and wheel frames.
Just like the wheels of the bucket wheels at the construction site, the wheels of this carriage are also covered with a layer of rubber, soft rubber... Mahanshan touched it and knew that the so-called soft rubber in this era was actually hard rubber, which was harder than the rubber on the wheels of the bucket wheels. Much more (in fact, many bucket trucks have been changed to inflatable wheel structures, which saves more effort). Upon closer inspection, Ma Hanshan found that the wheels were still different from those of bucket trucks, because on the wheels of the carriage, It is covered with two layers of rubber, the outside is harder rosin glue, and the inside is real soft glue, Eucommia gum.
Ma Hanshan laughed after seeing it and thought to himself, this Zhang Machinery is really good. He actually used a piece of soft Eucommia gum to replace the inflatable "inner tube" that cannot be made yet. Well, Feng Xianglin, who made rosin gum, is also good. I didn't expect him to be like this. Doctor Huang and Green actually have this skill.
If we go by Mahanshan's standards, Feng Xianglin is far from meeting the standards of a doctor, because he only knows a few herbs and can treat snake, insect, rat bites, cold and heat sores, etc., which may be okay. But there are no doctors in Wagonzhai. It didn't work, so Ma Hanshan asked Feng Xianglin, who knew herbal medicine and was literate, to be the "village doctor" of Wagang Village, and allocated him an office space. He also had people buy him many medical books, and even gave him some medical books. I told him several folk remedies for treating colds that I remembered.
This Feng Xianglin is also a smart and studious person. Unexpectedly, after serving as a "village doctor" for several times, he actually cured many people's diseases, of course some minor illnesses. However, even so, he is respected by the whole village. After all, , in this world, let alone doctors, people who can read are in short supply.
So, when Ma Hanshan left the village, he had been named "Director of Waganzhai Hospital" and "Director of Waganzhai Health Bureau" by Ma Hanshan. Haha, it sounds like he is a big official, but in fact, he is only a few dozen people. A square house and two subordinates. No, he is also in charge of the "Wagangzhai Environmental Sanitation Bureau". The so-called Environmental Sanitation Bureau is responsible for sweeping the floors and cleaning the latrines. There are several people in the Environmental Sanitation Bureau, and these can be regarded as his "subordinates".
Ma Hanshan never expected that his behavior of catching a dog without a cat would stimulate Feng Xianglin's desire for knowledge, and this guy actually started to "investigate things". Originally, he was going to make medicine, but he ended up making several furnaces.
Unsuccessful, then he heard that the rosin collected by the village owner could be used to make glue, so he actually researched it.
There is a saying that hard work pays off, and sometimes it is quite true. I don’t know what happened, but Feng Xianglin was refining medicine and rosin for a few months.
Something I don’t recognize, a piece of tough, resistant, cut-resistant, and stretchable stuff.
He didn't know what this thing was, but Zhang Jiji jumped with joy when he saw what he sent.
This thing can absorb shock. It's great, it's wonderful. As long as it can absorb shock, Zhang Machinery will be happy, and he doesn't care what it's called.
However, Feng Xianglin gave this toy a name: pine gum.
Alas, the development of society and science and technology always advance along a certain trajectory. Without basic science, it is impossible to reach the sky in one step. It would be a miracle that Feng Xianglin could produce this kind of rosin product that is not like glue. Otherwise, it would be a miracle.
, wouldn’t Waganzhai, which already has oil, be able to step into an industrialized society in one step?
However, since a time traveler like Mahanshan has come to this world, there will always be some changes, such as kerosene and kerosene products, such as hydraulic stamping machine tools... Of course, a barefoot doctor invented rosin in this world, which is also time travel.
One of the effects brought about by
"Haha, you don't seem to think so. Isn't my carriage beautiful?" After checking the carriage, Ma Hanshan thought it was very good. He wondered why Shen Wuwan and the others were so "calm".
"Brother Ma, the four-wheeled carriage is useless. Put it away quickly, otherwise others will say you are a fool." Shen Wuwan shook his head and said.
"Why do you say that?" Ma Hanshan was very surprised.
"According to historical records, some people made four-wheeled carriages in the Qin Dynasty, but why did only two-wheeled carriages pass down in the end? And are they still in use? That's because four-wheeled carriages are not practical at all. They can't turn at all, so how can they drive?"
Shen Wuwan knew that many people in history had made four-wheeled carriages, but in the end they all abandoned them because they were simply unusable.
"Haha, it turns out that's the problem. I thought it was the reason." Ma Hanshan laughed twice and jumped on the carriage. He held an angry wind lamp on the lamp stand, then sat on the "driver's" seat and said, "Turn around."
It's just a small problem, and I have solved it long ago... Shopkeeper Shen, you haven't been to the village for a long time. Now all the materials in the village are transported by this kind of horse-drawn carriage. Didn't your people report to you? "
"It can really turn?" Shen Wuwan seemed to have heard his men mention the carriage in Wagonzhai, but he didn't take it seriously and didn't even think about it.
"Of course, come on, come on, I'll take you for a lap and you'll find out. I can guarantee that this car will subvert your understanding of cars." Ma Hanshan waved.
The two-wheeled carriages in this world are not fast and have low carrying capacity. What's more serious is that they are bumpier than a horse-drawn carriage.
