Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

After finishing a bunch of grapes, Zhou Tian withdrew his thoughts and began to think about the next project of the steel mill. However, he soon thought of a project that was currently in short supply, agricultural machinery.

The reason why he wanted this project was that the country was just being built and many rural areas had already begun to resume production, although many farmers already had arable land.

However, as a major agricultural country, my country's current total grain output is actually not very high. Before the emergence of hybrid rice, grain can only meet people's basic needs.

Especially since we will have to face famine and food shortages in the future, if we have agricultural machinery, the basic grain output can be guaranteed.

In this way, when facing disasters in the future, the country will be able to be more calm and ensure people's daily needs, and people will not starve to death.

Of course, there is another point, that is, the state will carry out an agricultural collectivization movement in 53, and will follow the principles of voluntary mutual benefit, typical demonstration and state assistance to integrate the land originally allocated to individuals into the collective, starting from the organization of temporary mutual aid groups and permanent mutual aid groups with the embryonic nature of socialism, and carry out preliminary socialist transformation.

As a result, many rural areas will become scattered collective farms, and the demand for agricultural machinery will be a good entry point.

This will not only save a lot of physical strength for the vast number of farmers, but also reclaim a large amount of wasteland, increase a large amount of arable land and food, and have a very good effect on both industrial development and agriculture.

Secondly, it can help him avoid the research on machine tools, thus avoiding the technology leakage that he is worried about. Although it does not mean that he cannot research machine tools while researching agricultural machinery, at least this can help him avoid the attention of Big Brother to the greatest extent.

Putting the research on agricultural machinery out in the open can also reduce the outside world's attention on the steel mill, so that he can conduct research and development secretly. After Big Brother leaves, that will be the best time for the results to emerge in an endless stream.

Similarly, agricultural machinery can also lay a solid foundation for future car manufacturing.

With the idea in mind, Zhou Tian began to consider the types of agricultural machinery to be developed. Agricultural machinery is not just a single type of agricultural machinery, but includes many types.

Although agricultural machinery today is not as detailed as in the past, there are already some prototypes. It can be roughly divided into six types: tractors, sowing and tillage, harvesting, processing, transportation, and irrigation and drainage.

There is no need to explain the tractors, as everyone knows them, just like the walk-behind tractors in the previous life. And if he remembered correctly, the first tractor manufacturing plant in our country in the previous life seemed to have been established in 1959 with the assistance of Big Brother.

As for other types, Zhou Tian only knew a general idea. After all, he was just a software engineer in his previous life, and he only knew a little about these machines. To say that he understood them would be a bit of a compliment.

However, as long as he has a sample, he can continuously improve and optimize it through the virtual space in his mind, so as to design more advanced agricultural machinery.

Therefore, he is not too worried about this. The main problem he faces now is which category to consider studying first?

After thinking for a while, he decided to start with the simplest one, which is processing agricultural machinery. Processing agricultural machinery can be roughly divided into rice mills, threshers, oil presses, etc.

Among them, the rice mills, threshers and oil presses are undoubtedly the most helpful to farmers.

The structures of these three machines are very simple, and the most important thing is that Zhou Tian had seen the prototypes of these three machines in his previous life. With a little thought, he could understand the construction principles of these three machines.

Among them, the rice mill is a simple process of processing grains using mechanical power. The rice put into it is crushed and crushed through mechanical power, and impurities are separated through rollers to obtain flour and polished rice.

The thresher and oil press basically work on the same principle, both use mechanical power to separate rice grains and stalks, but one relies on impact and friction, while the other relies on a crushing device to achieve different effects.

Just when Zhou Tian was about to take out the blueprint to start drawing, a bell rang. He suddenly realized that it was already time to finish his meal without him noticing.

After putting away the drawings, Zhou Tian tidied up the things on the table, then picked up his lunch box and walked towards the cafeteria.

After dinner, he returned to the office and began to draw the blueprint of the rice mill. Although the structure of the rice mill was very simple, it would take some time to draw it.

Therefore, he only finished one-third of the painting by the time he got off work.

He put the finished drawings into his backpack, tidied the table, picked up the backpack and went to the parking shed, pushing his bicycle towards the second workshop. He did not forget that he had to treat his master to dinner tonight.

When he arrived at the second workshop, he saw his master standing at the door of the second workshop waiting for him. After the two of them met, they chatted with each other and walked out of the steel rolling mill together, heading towards the courtyard with his master Liu Wuming.

On the way, the master worriedly asked Zhou Tian about his work in the technical department. Zhou Tian naturally told the master the truth. When Liu Wuming heard the difficulties raised by his colleagues in the technical department, he showed some worry at first.

However, when he heard that Zhou Tian had left his colleagues speechless with questions, he couldn't help but smile with pride.

"Master, don't worry. Your disciples are no pushovers. With their level, it would be in vain to defeat me, your disciple, even if you give them three years!"

Zhou Tian spoke confidently while controlling the direction of the bicycle and paying attention to the pedestrians on the road.

"Just be proud, kid!"

Liu Wuming listened to Zhou Tian's words. Although he expressed disdain in his mouth, the pride in his eyes was even stronger.

As they were chatting and laughing, they arrived at the courtyard. They got out of the car and just as they walked into the courtyard, they saw many workers from other factories and some women gathered in the front yard, seemingly chatting about something.

"Section Chief Zhou is back?"

A sharp-eyed woman saw Zhou Tian pushing the cart into the courtyard and couldn't help but scream.

The woman's voice immediately attracted everyone's attention. They all stopped talking and looked at Zhou Tian.

"Master Zhou, I heard from the workers in your factory that you have become a cadre?"

"Master Zhou, have you become the deputy director of the technical department?"

"Master Zhou.............."

Then everyone started to surround Zhou Tian and asked questions one after another.

Faced with everyone's questions, Zhou Tian was overwhelmed. While answering everyone's questions one by one, he took his master to the backyard.

It was not until they entered the backyard that everyone felt embarrassed and dispersed. Zhou Tian then wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with lingering fear: "These people are not usually like this. I didn't expect them to be so enthusiastic today?"
