Chapter 1061: The Sense of Crisis of the Workers
.
With the sound of cars and whistles coming from afar, a convoy of four vehicles also came closer and closer along the open space beside the railway line, gradually appearing in everyone's sight.
Leading the way were two tractors with truck buckets, followed by loaders and excavators. Because the excavator has a crawler chassis, although the crawler chassis has more advantages in overcoming obstacles, according to the current technology of the Han tribe, the speed of this crawler chassis is not good, so it can only be barely hung behind those wheeled vehicles.
But it was this convoy of four vehicles that caused a greater visual impact to the people of the Baiwu tribe.
Although they had just seen a larger train, the train was obviously not as flexible as these four motor vehicles. You know, even as strong as the Han tribe, in order to maintain the operation of the train, they had to lay a lot of expensive steel on the ground, but these four vehicles with strange shapes did not need to, and they could walk freely on ordinary dirt roads.
Until this time, the people of the Baiwu tribe suddenly realized that although they had learned a lot of advanced technologies from the Han tribe, such as construction, agricultural planting, breeding, clothing cutting and sewing technology, etc., they were still blank in terms of more advanced technologies. The various good things displayed by the Han tribe seemed to have no end. Various miraculous technologies emerged one after another like corn in the field.
Not to mention high-tech such as trains and other steam-powered vehicles, even the wooden carriages, mills, water wheels, sailboats and other items of the Han tribe were all things they could only dream of.
"Are these also cars made by the Han tribe?!"
Tian Hong looked at the approaching convoy in front of him and couldn't help asking in surprise. However, he realized that he was asking nonsense. If it wasn't the cars of the Han tribe, which other forces in the world had such technology.
And looking at the steam engines on those cars that were also spewing white smoke, it was obvious that they were using the same technology as the trains.
"Tractors?! And loaders and excavators?! How come there are these things, and they were built so quickly?"
Unlike Tian Hong, You Fu recognized these engineering vehicles at a glance. After all, he had visited the Power Research Institute with Luo Chong and the county magistrates years ago, but these vehicles had not been fully finalized at that time.
Moreover, he had only received a notice that a trainload of materials was coming, but he had not received any news about four engineering vehicles coming with it, so he was quite surprised.
After all the vehicles stopped on the open space across the railway from the platform, Tian Hong continued to ask.
"Fu, are those also vehicles? What are they used for? They look so strange!"
Indeed, the appearance of these vehicles was indeed very strange. The combination of a tractor and a truck bucket was relatively easy to understand. After all, they had seen the four-wheeled carriages of the Han tribe, and this tractor was not beyond their cognition. It was also a vehicle with a four-wheeled bucket hanging on the back. The loader and excavator looked rather strange.
One had a huge "iron pot" on the front of the vehicle, and the other had no wheels at all, and was directly replaced by two soft "iron belts". A long "nose" grew on the front of the vehicle, and a strangely shaped "iron pot" was hung on the top of the nose. It was as strange as it could be.
Well, at least that's what Tian Hong himself judged.
"Ahem, let me introduce them. The two identical ones in front are tractors that our tribe made last year. They can be used to pull goods and can also be used to replace oxen to plow and sow in the fields.
"The one with a bucket on the back is called a loader. It is used to load bulk goods or level the land. Look at the steel bucket on the front of the vehicle. It is actually movable and can replace people to do the work. It is very powerful.
"The last one without wheels is an excavator, which is specially used for digging soil. The thing in front is called a mechanical arm. It can be moved like a human arm. The turning parts on it are like a human elbow joint and can also be rotated, but they are all made of steel. As for the bucket in front, it is actually like a hand, and also like a big spoon, which is specially used to dig various things."
You Fu introduced while stretching out his arm to imitate the movements of the excavator to explain to Tian Hong, and Tian Hong was stunned. He didn't dare to imagine and couldn't understand how the Han tribe created these heaven-defying tools.
Things made of iron can actually move and can replace livestock to work for humans. Doesn't this mean that as long as the Han tribe has enough iron, they will never lack labor?
In this way, the productivity of the Han tribe will be amazing!
"The Han tribe is really amazing. The leader of your tribe must be a real god, or he must be blessed by the gods."
Tian Hong took a deep breath and admired from the bottom of his heart. These iron creations in front of him were really amazing.
After introducing several engineering vehicles, You Fu also went up to hand over to the drivers of the train and tractor. Knowing that the leader had sent them to support their construction, You Fu was naturally very happy. Then he began to arrange the fifty young men of the Baiwu tribe to start moving the iron ingots, first from the train to the two-wheeled wooden carts, and then transported them to the warehouse for storage by manpower. Fortunately, the ground here at the station was hardened, so the running back and forth of these carts did not affect the ground.
It took half a morning to transport all the iron ingots to the warehouse. It was noon and everyone started to go back to eat in groups. The four engineering vehicles also followed everyone to the construction site in the city. The unique shape of these vehicles and the magical feature of being driven without cattle and horses quickly aroused discussion among the workers. Those who worked at the train station in the morning immediately told everyone about the functions of the vehicles during dinner. Soon everyone knew about these strange things.
Some people worshipped the Han tribe as gods, some were full of envy and confusion, and some were a little nervous. They heard that these vehicles were used to help people work, so they were afraid that these vehicles would take away their jobs.
You know, if these engineering vehicles work more, there will be less work for them, and their days working in the Han tribe will end earlier. The people of the Baiwu tribe sincerely said that they have not had enough of the good life they had when working for the Han tribe. They want to work more for the Han tribe and resolutely carry forward the spirit of the workers.
