God said there should be light, so there should be light...

Uh, the prince said, "You need motivation, so you have a hydraulic station."

With a hydraulic station, there is power, and with power, there is a factory.

The factory is a few red brick factory-style buildings built next to the hydraulic station. These factories were built at the same time as the hydraulic station. Although the roof of the factory has not been completed due to the tight construction period, the interior of the factory has been completed, especially the most important sky axis.

The so-called "sky shaft" is the long shaft of multiple working machines installed above the factory with a power machine to drive multiple working machines. Similarly, the ground-mounted one is called the ground-mounted shaft. With the invention and a newness of the motor, the individual motor drive slowly replaced the "sky shaft" and the "ground shaft", and it has long been no longer used in modern times.

However, now he has been resurrected here... No, it was Zhu Guoqiang who received the Ming Dynasty in the 12th year of Chongzhen.

"This is the Sky Sutra!"

He looked up and looked at a thick and long sky shaft on the top of the factory's sorghum. In recent times, Ge Zhenye, who has been focusing on studying the steam engine, seemed extremely surprised. He even wanted to ask how such a long iron shaft was made. In fact, even if he asked, he could not get the answer. The iron shaft was brought by Zhu Guoqiang from another world.

"right!"

Nodding, Zhu Guoqiang pointed to the sky axis above the factory and explained.

"The "sky shaft" is driven by the hydraulic turbine of the hydraulic station, and then drives multiple intermediate shafts, and then drives each working machine separately. There are often two pulleys of equal diameter on the intermediate shaft, one of which is solidly connected to the shaft and the other is idling on the shaft. When the transmission belt is on the solid-connected wheel, the working machine is driven. When the transmission belt is on the idle wheel, the working machine stops moving. The transmission between the intermediate shaft and the working machine can also use tower wheels to achieve speed regulation..."

When Zhu Guoqiang explained the working principle of "Sky Axle", he looked quite emotional. In another world, "Sky Axle" was widely used to drive machine tools, etc. Of course, this is because in the early days of the Industrial Revolution, a water truck, a water turbine, a steam engine needed to provide power to a workshop or several workshops, so the engineers designed this exquisite transmission mechanism.

Many people will mention the "Jenny Machine" when talking about the Industrial Revolution. They will mention the steam engine and the machine tool, but no one has ever mentioned the seemingly simple "sky axis". They do not know that the seemingly inconspicuous "sky axis" is an indispensable contributor to the promotion of the industrial revolution. It is through the "sky axis" that realizes a machine multiple connection and adjusts the speed of the machine tool through the sky axis. The steam engine is the driving force of the industrial revolution, and it is the "sky axis" that has further applied it.

Of course, compared with the exquisitely designed "Heaven Shaft" in the late 19th century, the "Heaven Shaft" adopted by Zhu Guoqiang seems a bit primitive. Except for the main shaft made of steel, most of the others are made of hardwood. In the process of making "Heaven Shaft", Zhu Guoqiang truly witnessed the intelligence of skilled craftsmen in this world. It was through their skillful hands that he had this complete set of Heavenly Shafts.

Carpenters were the first of all craftsmen in ancient China. In terms of woodworking, no one dared to be the first in China's carpenters. No one would doubt this. After all, whether it is a thousand-year-old wooden tower or a wooden hall, it fully illustrates all this.

All we need now is to shift the goals of these skilled craftsmen from construction to industry.

"Is this a hydraulic hammer?"

Seeing the hydraulic hammer start to hammer the red iron block under the transmission of the sky shaft, Chen Zhihuan said in surprise.

"It's no longer a simple hydraulic hammer. It's a metal forged hammer, which is more scientific than a hydraulic hammer."

In fact, there is no difference in essence, but its design is more scientific, Zhu Guoqiang said to himself in his heart.

"In the future, this is the metal forging workshop. Not only can we forged iron brazers, but we can also forged iron, plates, rivets, etc. The manufacturing of steam engines requires a large number of iron plates, rivets and other iron tools, which cannot be separated from here. Now the forging workshop has more than a dozen forging hammers, including 10 kilograms to 10 kilograms of hammers, which can process a variety of metal parts..."

Even so, it is still at the level of the 18th century, almost at less than a hundred years ahead of the world... Zhu Guoqiang's voice in his heart would naturally not pay attention to it.

But one thing that is certain is that with this metal forging workshop and these forging hammers, this seemingly inconspicuous workshop may be the cornerstone of this world's industrial revolution...

In the future, there will be too many "firsts" born here, such as the first horizontal bore bed - some of its metal parts, which are processed here, of course, just some of them, such as gears, brought by Zhu Guoqiang from another world.

"Tsk tsk, it's so skillful, so skillful…"

When Ge Shizhen walked to the hammer forging equipment made of gears and wooden shafts, he also said.

"Criminal Master, I think this sky shaft can not only drive such a forging hammer, but also other things." What else?

Everyone's eyes were focused on Ge Shizhen, as if they were waiting for his answer. Not only were the craftsmen looking at him, but Zhu Guoqiang also looking at him.

Learn from one example and apply it to other things, this is what Zhu Guoqiang needs.

Staring at the rapidly rotating axis of the sky, thinking for a while, Ge Shizhen raised his head and sought opinions from Zhu Guoqiang as if he was thinking of something.

"Criminal Master, how about you if we build a machine here and specialize in grinding iron tools?"

“Grinding iron?”

"No, it should be a polished iron..."

Ge Shizhen thought for a while and then said:

"After all, iron tools also need to be polished. In the past, human resources were used. We could use tools such as machining jade tools to polish iron tools. Master Xu, what do you think."

Ge Shizhen turned around and asked the master behind him:

"Master Xu, do you know how to make a taut?"

"Zhatuo? What is Zhatuo? What is the young master talking about?"

The carpenter asked in confusion.

"It is a wooden machine that uses foot pedals to rotate the metal plate back and forth, and combines sand and water to process jade. We can use the sky shaft to replace the foot pedals to make it rotate, and then use it as a processing iron tool."

After thinking for a while, Ge Shizhen said again.

"I have seen this kind of machine in the book "The Work of Heavenly Manners" and there are also patterns in the book, which may be somewhat different from the drawings, but if you study it for sure, you will definitely be able to make it out, otherwise let's try it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Guoqiang said in surprise.

"Natural craftsmanship creates things? Song Yingxing, he..."

Still alive?
