Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

After getting off the cliff, he got on the boat and put it all the way to the village entrance. When he passed by the Liu Guo family's gorge, Gu Siwei saw that there was no one on the pier, so he didn't get on the boat and put it all the way to the village.

When he arrived at the door of Yang Chuanwu's house, he threw the anchor to the shore, jumped on the shore and went straight to the yard of Yang Chuanwu's house.

When I arrived at the door, I saw Yang Chuanwu leading a group of old men and women, as well as the two young people Luan Jiandong and Sun Laiya mentioned yesterday, chatting happily around the machine.

Seeing this scene, Gu Siwei was a little puzzled, because he really couldn't figure out why these people were so addicted to watching machines. It would be okay if they understood it, but Gu Siwei knew that they didn't understand anything, and they could actually do it. After looking at them for so long, they have been kept here for several days, and these people still look very happy to see them now.

"The fourth dimension is coming"

Someone saw Gu Siwei coming and immediately said something in surprise.

This sentence immediately attracted everyone's attention to Gu Siwei at the door.

"Have you all eaten?"

Gu Siwei smiled and greeted everyone.

Yang Chuanwu said: "I've eaten it a long time ago. Who hasn't eaten it at this time? It's not the busy farming season. Are you ready to start?"

Gu Siwei originally didn't want to work so quickly. He had to eat well just after eating, otherwise it would be bad for his health, but he saw a group of old and young men all with their eyes open. Although many of them were dim-sighted, Lao Gu His heart softened and he nodded.

"What do you want?"

Yang Chuanwu asked with a smile.

Gu Siwei said: "Bring a big basin, either for food or for washing vegetables, for soaking parts, and the rest...oh, make a broken mat, or spread straw on the ground. When the time comes, put the disassembled parts in order so they don’t get mixed up.”

"This is easy to handle."

Yang Chuanwu greeted Luan Jiandong and Sun Laiya, and the three of them prepared what Gu Siwei wanted in a short time.

Gu Siwei took the tools. These tools were bought from the Hong Kong market. Of course, this cannot be said. It can only be said that they were borrowed from the factory.

A group of people gathered around Gu Siwei and watched Gu Siwei dismantle the machine. None of them dared to breathe, for fear that if they took a breath, Gu Siwei would be shocked and injure the machine.

Gu Siwei was not used to it at first, but gradually he began to feel that men always have a special interest in these things, and that machines seemed to be growing on men's nerve excitement points.

The machines at this time were simple, and the machines Gu Siwei had built before were very complicated, so there wasn't much of a problem with this one.

Moreover, what Gu Siwei dismantled first was not the old single-cylinder horizontal diesel engine, but the grinding mill. It is estimated that the design of this thing has not changed much for decades or even hundreds of years.

The main components are grinding discs, grinding rollers, casings, etc. They are all big and quite intuitive. Gu Siwei opened the upper casing and took a closer look to get a rough idea.

After disassembling the parts one by one, Gu Siwei looked carefully and decided which parts needed to be cleaned and which parts did not need to be washed. For example, the grinding rollers and grinding discs did not need to be washed. Things that had been used all the time were shiny when taken out. It's bright and shiny, and the only thing that matters is whether the material is food-grade stainless steel.

But there is no way for Gu Siwei to verify this Dongli. Even if it has been verified, it is not very good steel. Gu Siwei has nothing to do. Even for the few units in the space, Gu Siwei cannot guarantee it, let alone these old ones. machine.

"No need to wash this?"

"Why should you wash it when it's so clean? You have a bad mind, and you can almost use it as a mirror."

"It's so bright, it can really be used as a mirror."

There was this person who stretched out his head and took the grinding roller as a mirror. He turned into monsters and monsters one by one, and he couldn't stop having fun.

A bunch of people watching the excitement are not idle, they can always find something to talk about, and even if they are talking nonsense, they can still have a happy conversation. This is the skill of the folks.

Yang Chuanwu asked Gu Siwei at this time: "Don't you need to wash these?"

"No, if you see anything dirty, just wipe it off." Gu Siwei didn't even raise his head.

Of course, there is no need to answer questions when asked by others, but Yang Chuanwu still has to answer questions. After all, he is his deputy now, not to mention there are two students beside him.

Hearing that it could be wiped, Yang Chuanwu asked Luan Jiandong and Sun Laiya to do the job. Since they were operators, doing this would also help them understand the machine.

The two happily went to work, leaving Gu Siwei to continue dismantling the machine.

There is nothing to clean on this thing, that is, the transmission shaft needs to be cleaned. Originally, Gu Siwei thought that there must be some problems with the transmission shaft after such a long time. But when he took it apart and took a look, he felt that the machine was really strong at this time.

The entire transmission shaft is definitely worn, but it does not say which part is worn more and which one is less worn, but the overall wear. From this shaft, it can be seen that the machine is made with great care and the parts fit together very well.

When repairing parts in the past, many parts had to be replaced after one or two years. In fact, it was not wear and tear, but the manufacturing materials were poor. It is not like the materials used at this time were really sufficient. A machine that is one or two years old is not as durable as a machine that has been used for decades. Are you saying that the current manufacturing is not up to par?

Isn’t that nonsense? That’s because in a few decades, economics will change. You can’t use anything for too long. If you use it for too long, you’ll have to buy a damn new one. If you use it for a few years, it will naturally break down. Replacing them with new ones is beneficial to the development of the industry.

Gu Siwei dismantled it very slowly, not because he was not skilled, but because he suddenly returned to his old profession and dealt with machines. Gu Siwei felt a little enjoyment, watching a machine turn into parts and put them on his own In front of you, there is a special industrial beauty.

Most girls can't see it, but men can definitely feel the quality of this metal and the sense of power contained in it.

"Siwei, tell us what these parts are for." Luan Jiandong was quite modest at this time.

Gu Siwei had nothing to do anyway, so he began to explain the general functions of these parts to the two new operators. There was no need to explain the principles. It was unlikely that they would understand. This was not because Gu Siwei looked down on these two people.

These principles may be very simple for junior high school students in a few decades, but for two people who are almost illiterate, they definitely do not have this knowledge reserve. If you want to explain it clearly, you can explain it, Gu Siweide Just open an engineering literacy class.

Gu Siwei only told them the opening through which the grain went in, how to squeeze, press and grind it, the opening through which the powder came out, and the opening through which the residue was blown out.

This sounds much simpler, and it is easier for the two of them to understand how the machine grinds powder.

"This doesn't sound difficult, just like we grind it with a mill, then push it on a big mill, then sift it with a sieve, and finally shake it off to remove the shell."

After hearing this, an old man felt that this machine was quite simple and nothing special. It was the same routine as what we farmers do.

Yang Chuanwu said: "It's the same thing, but without this technology you wouldn't be able to invent this thing. Otherwise, the foreign devils were so powerful in the past. If they had one cannon, we would have to cede territory and seek peace."

"It looks simple to me. There's nothing particularly difficult. Why don't you think we can make it?"

"It's not that they can't be made, but that they have spent all their energy elsewhere. How can the foreign devils be as sophisticated as our ancestors in making things in turn?

Not to mention anything else, I just want to talk about the big bed last time. The carvings made even the characters lifelike. How can foreigners have such a thing..."

"Yes, yes! When it comes to making things, you have to look at old objects."

Gu Siwei didn't want to express any opinions. He also bought this bed and it is still displayed in his space.

But when you asked Gu Siwei to raise this thing to the height of the grinding machine in front of him, Gu Siwei sneered.

Step beds and Qiangong beds are naturally very high in terms of craftsmanship. There is really no way to compare with foreign furniture. Even the palace furniture in Western Europe is just that bad to be honest.

But the mill is different. To build such a mill requires systematic science. If it is a manufacturing system, it requires the overall development of productivity from simple agricultural labor to industrial manufacturing.

What is a step bed?

It's just a delicate tool to serve the masters. No matter how well it is made, it will be of little use to the country.

If this thing were really good, there wouldn't be a hundred years of humiliation.

Gu Siwei didn't say it because he couldn't explain it to the villagers.

The villagers were chattering here and there, which made Gu Siwei forget the era he lived in for a while. At this time, people outside were criticizing this group and that group, which was tantamount to singing the opposite tune, but fortunately here in Shimo Village No one really cares about these things. From ancient times to the present, the folks here have only cared about their belly and nothing else, and they have no time to care about anything else.

After wiping the machine, Gu Siwei put a little butter on the shaft and bearings to increase lubrication, and then installed the machine.

It took one day to disassemble and install it, and then continued to disassemble it the next day. This time it took longer because there were too many places to clean in the machine.

The number of villagers who surround Gu Siwei every day not only does not decrease, but becomes more and more. There is not much work in the fields at this time, because it is about to enter winter, and there is almost all the work that should be done in the fields. Everything that has been planted in the ground has been planted, so there are many idle people.

There are only so many people in the village, and there is usually nothing exciting to watch. Now is the perfect time to watch Gu Siwei dismantle the machine. It is like watching a big show, and everyone is watching with relish.

The machine was almost dismantled. Gu Siwei installed the grinding mill and other items on the fixed channel steel frame he designed. Now the last step is left, which is to clean the most important single-cylinder diesel engine.

This thing cannot be wiped clean. There is a layer of putty on something that has been used for a long time. Luan Jiandong and Sun Laiya should first use straw poles to remove the putty before proceeding to the next step.

As a master master, whenever Gu Siwei talks, someone will naturally get busy.

This made Gu Siwei quite satisfied.

The scene of dismantling the machine was still lively, but all day today, Gu Siwei didn't take any action and only directed others. So when he went home, Gu Siwei was naturally in a good mood. He used his words but not his hands to direct others to work. , this is the most enjoyable thing to do, otherwise everyone would like to be a leader.
