Chapter 772 Planning the Planned Economy
After the steam engine ran for a while, the food was delivered. Luo Chong asked his guards to clean up a table and started to have dinner with these researchers. The guards set up another table outside. They would also take turns to eat.
In the warehouse, with a steam engine running as the background, Luo Chong and others had served their food, and then he stood up and said with a tea bowl.
"We don't have wine here, and we are not allowed to drink for everyone's safety, so I can only use this bowl of tea to toast everyone.
I am very happy about the success of the steam engine. You have made an indelible contribution to this research, but this is not the end, but a beginning. We will make more steam engines in the future. I hope that in the near future, there will be steam engines running on the territory of the Han tribe at all times. For this great goal, I toast you all a glass. Come on, cheers."
"Thank you, chief." Everyone also raised their glasses, and after paying a tribute to Luo Chong from a distance, they also knocked their tea bowls against each other. The atmosphere on the scene was peaceful.
Everyone had been busy for two days and hadn't eaten properly. They were already hungry. After Luo Chong picked up the chopsticks, they immediately devoured the food. Tang Yao sat beside Luo Chong in a daze, holding the chopsticks in her hand, but staring at the steam engine in a trance.
Luo Chong put a piece of meat in her bowl and asked, "Why don't you eat it?"
"Oh, thank you, nothing, I just can't figure out why it rotates?" Tang Yao said after a moment of hesitation.
Well, it's another common problem among scientific workers.
"Why do you worry about this? A person's energy is limited. The medicine you study is equally important. Doing your own thing well is already a great success." Luo Chong patted her head and said.
Tang Yao snorted and asked unconvincedly, "Then how do you know everything?"
"I'm broad but not deep. It's enough to know the general principles. I can't recite the Compendium of Materia Medica even if you ask me to. Besides, I'm the leader and I don't need to know so much. As long as I can grasp the general direction, the detailed things can be left to the tribesmen." Luo Chong also said while eating.
"You just said that this steam engine can do everything, so what is its use in medical treatment?" Tang Yao curled her lips. Her intuition told her that Luo Chong was not telling the truth. He was full of secrets. However, she was not a member of the Tang tribe yet, so she didn't bother about it, so she took the initiative to change the subject.
"There should be no direct use, but there are many indirect uses. The steam engine is mainly used to provide power for machinery. It can serve all aspects of life, and it is also used in medical treatment. Although it can't directly cure diseases, it can be used to make medicine or produce medical equipment. Isn't this also helpful?" Luo Chong thought for a while and explained.
"But we can't see anything like this. When it can really be put to use, can I go and see it?" Tang Yao looked at Luo Chong with expectant eyes.
"Of course, if you want, you can see it put to use in less than two days."
When Luo Chong said this, he actually had a plan in mind.
After dinner, Luo Chong and Tang Yao rode on a horse and returned home, surrounded by the guards. After returning home, they naturally had to share their joy again. In addition to being happy, Luo Chong was also trying to recall all kinds of information about the steam engine in his previous life when he lay in bed at night. Now it has been built, but how to use it to play the greatest role and how to use it so that it will not have an impact on the people of the Han tribe.
At this time, he was even somewhat fortunate that the population of the Han tribe was not so large that the people would not lose their jobs because of the sudden appearance of the steam engine.
The next morning, Luo Chong went to the Power Research Institute again and sent Tang Yao to work. After arriving, he immediately put his first practical plan in front of everyone.
"The thing designed by the leader is a table saw? It looks very simple." The master chef holding the blueprint said easily.
"Yes, it is because it is simple that we can see the effect as soon as possible." Luo Chong nodded and said.
"Don't worry, leader, as long as the belt is in place, we can get this thing out in two days at most." The researchers all patted their chests and said.
Luo Chong nodded and stopped participating, but found a table in the warehouse and began to draft the planned economic plan he thought of last night, which is also the future national development strategy of the Han tribe. He had this idea a long time ago, but the steam engine has not been manufactured yet, so it has been delayed until now.
The researchers on the other side immediately took the blueprints and assigned tasks. The table saw was indeed simple. Generally speaking, it required a desktop operating table, and then cut a long groove on it, and installed a circular blade saw. There was a small power wheel on the blade saw, which was connected to the flywheel of the steam engine with a V-belt to achieve the purpose of accelerating the rotation of the circular saw.
They all knew that the large wheel led to the small wheel. The Iron Horse Type I steam engine was originally a model that pursued high speed. With such a large and small wheel acceleration design, the speed of the table saw would be very impressive.
In order to maximize the use of the steam engine, Luo Chong designed a multifunctional table saw. There was a circular saw of different sizes on each side of the operating table to process wood of different sizes. At the same time, there were two automatic planers near the edge to smooth the rough edges of the wood.
Circular saws are easy to make. Just punch out discs from ready-made steel plates and file out the teeth. The drive shaft and V-groove power wheel can be directly cast. The overall frame is made of wood, which is not difficult to make. The belt is provided by the rubber team of the Lake Island Research Institute.
After all these tasks were assigned, they even had half of their staff to improve the Iron Bull Model 1.
Two days passed in a flash, and all the parts were made. After Luo Chong's consideration, the final assembly site was placed in Liuyang County Shipyard. They were the place where this kind of table saw was most needed, and there were too many pieces of wood to be processed every day.
When a huge ox cart pulled a steam engine into the shipyard early that morning, it immediately attracted the attention of many people. In the wood processing workshop of the shipyard, the wind-powered sawmill next to it was huge and eye-catching. The huge wooden machine, which was two stories high, was pulling the saw blade to cut the wood in an orderly manner.
However, this originally synonymous with "advanced" has now become a representative of backwardness in the eyes of researchers.
"This thing is too slow. It takes a cup of tea to saw a piece of wood. If we use our steam table saw, it will probably take only a few breaths." A young researcher said proudly.
However, the people in the shipyard were not happy to hear this and immediately scolded, "You dare to brag when your hair is not even fully grown. Aren't you afraid that the wind will blow your tongue off? Our windmill was built by the leader. Do you know how much work it has done for our shipyard?"
