Shenxi stipulated that the Cao family should not recruit too many laborers when building the cement road.
Ensuring agricultural production remains the most important task.
Meanwhile, Shenxi called Zhou Ren over again and asked him about the tractor.
Logically speaking, the raw materials for a regular tractor can be made from ordinary iron.
Chenxi has explained the basic principles clearly, so why hasn't he figured it out yet?
Once it's developed, the current oil production, while not enough to supply all agriculture using tractors, will at least be able to supply one-third.
If smelting technology is further improved, steam engines could be used to power tractors.
With a tractor, one can use its power to plow the land.
Those agricultural seeders, tillers, and harvesters are all driven by tractor heads, and the principle is the same.
Without the ability to produce it, agricultural production cannot progress.
A large amount of manpower is spent on farmland, and many arable lands are overgrown with weeds because no one is available to cultivate them.
Furthermore, clearing land with manpower is quite difficult; if there were excavators, it would be much easier.
Such a simple manpower is simply insufficient to meet the daily needs of ordinary people.
With the current relatively favorable weather conditions, she is barely making ends meet thanks to her substantial financial support.
If we encounter natural disasters or man-made calamities again, what can we use to stabilize public sentiment and prevent civil unrest?
Therefore, it is imperative to vigorously reform agricultural equipment.
When Zhou Ren saw that Chen Xi had summoned him again, his mouth felt as bitter as gall.
It's not that he didn't work hard, but no matter how much they researched, they just couldn't find a clue.
I cannot understand the underlying principles.
What energy transformation, what dynamics?
I don't understand anything at all, and what the leader taught me is all only half-understood.
Chenxi was okay at physics back then, but because he hadn't used it for many years, he could only remember the most basic things, and he had forgotten everything else.
Therefore, the knowledge she taught to those researchers was only the most basic knowledge; the rest was up to them to study on their own.
Zhou Ren answered Chen Xi's question very seriously. "Commander, it's not that we're not doing our job well, but there are really many key parts that we just can't figure out."
"Then take a look at this, see if it can give you any inspiration."
Shenxi handed Zhou Ren a small engine.
This small engine was developed by a folk craftsman who studied physics, chemistry, and other subjects compiled by Chen Xi.
Then it was offered to Chenxi.
It's a very small engine model, but it requires human power to operate, either by hand or foot, to make the engine run and generate electricity.
However, the amount of electricity generated is only enough for one light bulb.
Yes, many people are already using the light bulbs that are being produced, but there are no qualified power generation devices available.
The invention of the battery enabled the use of light bulbs.
Currently, the lighting in Chenxi is powered by lead-acid batteries.
Shenxi had always wanted an electric fan, but because researchers were too busy, Shenxi didn't insist on getting one just for her own enjoyment.
Besides, now that she has knowledge from the future, she can use saltpeter to make ice. In the summer, piling up ice blocks in the house will keep it cool.
The income from selling ice alone filled Chenxi's private coffers.
But later, due to the need to build a cement floor and renovate the house, the money was spent on those projects.
These things cannot be accomplished without using Chenxi's private treasury.
Shenxi reluctantly took out the money for his own convenience.
She really didn't want to suffer from motion sickness every time she traveled.
This engine, donated by the craftsman, may truly be the beginning of a real invention.
All machines need an engine. The principle is the same; the only difference is the engine configuration.
Although there is still no news from the Jin family, their smelting technology is now sufficient to support ordinary engines.
The only challenge is to manufacture more precise and durable parts.
After Shenxi demonstrated the operation to Zhou Ren, Zhou Ren was extremely excited.
"Sir, where is this craftsman?"
"Don't worry, I've already arranged for her to be settled. She's from out of town, with a family of three. The old father is a craftsman, but he only has one daughter. At first, he didn't want to teach his craft to his daughter, but later, seeing that she was very intelligent and skillful, he taught her."
"I didn't expect this girl to be so clever and quick to learn. But her family doesn't want her to show her face in public. This time, she made the decision to contribute the engine on her own and secretly contributed it."
The order has been issued by Chenxi: any new invention, whatever it may be, can be submitted through the government office.
The government offices must not obstruct it.
Anyone who dares to obstruct us will not be spared.
Zhou Ren no longer dared to underestimate the girl, since the leader was a girl.
His passion for engines made him oblivious to the fact that the other person was a girl.
So when Zou Xiao came in, Zhou Ren immediately bowed, as a sign of respect for the technical staff.
The fact that she was able to build an engine proves that this girl is quite capable.
Zou Xiao was startled and immediately dodged.
Shenxi assigned Zou Xiao to the Ministry of Industry to specialize in developing engine equipment and to produce tractors first.
Zou Xiao was naturally happy to agree.
She just wanted to get ahead and stop her father from hiding her away and making her do things at home for him to sell.
She wanted to truly become a craftswoman and use her abilities to change her circumstances.
She knew that before she got married, her father made her work quietly, and after she got married, she would definitely hide behind her husband.
