Chapter 246
Making up their minds, Lu Zhe and Shen Bing began to search for a suitable excavation site.
Lu Zhe looked around: "The first thing to consider is not to be too far from the camp!" Otherwise, it would be too hard to take something once.
Shen Bing nodded: "That's right, fortunately, there are many hillsides near the camp, so let's choose in these places." Then, she pointed to a gravel-filled hillside: "Hey, how's it going there?" "
Go, go investigate!"
The two walked to the hillside, Lu Zhe plunged the paratrooper knife into the soil, dug out a stone, and the surrounding soil was also loosened.
He shook his head: "There is too much gravel, the soil quality is also unstable, once the collapse is not good, we will be destroyed." Then
I looked at a hillside with lush vegetation, loose soil, severe water seepage, and easy to collapse!
Another shale cliff was found, which looks solid, but the toughness of the formation rock layer at different times is different, and it is easy to collapse under the influence of external forces!
"So, the most difficult problem to solve when digging a cave is collapse!"
Lu Zhe said with a slight regret: "That's right, there is no special structure like a bear cave here, if you have to dig a cave, you need to insert collapsed anchors anytime and anywhere, make supports, and use masonry and clay to make an isolated roof, which is quite troublesome, and it does not necessarily ensure safety."
"Unless you find a structure like a bear cave?"
"It's not..."
Lu Zhe noticed the stone mountain near the banyan tree.
It is not a mountain of stones, but it is itself a whole boulder, connected to the soil slope on three sides, buried in vegetation, and it is impossible to see how big it is.
The accumulation of guano on it allows green shrubs and moss to grow on top of the stone mountain. Only the south-facing side reveals a thirty-meter-high stone wall.
Lu Zhe walked to the stone wall, put his hand on the stone wall, and the information of the stone wall came from his mind!
"110 million years ago, the Mesozoic era formed granite walls, the main components, silica, calcium carbonate..."
"Hey, Sister Bing, do you know the ancient cliff dwelling?"
"I know, but I haven't been..." Shen Bing was suddenly startled,
"Shouldn't you be... You have to cut a hole in the stone, right?
Lu Zhe slowly turned his head: "Is there anything you can't do?"
"Of course not, this stone is so hard!" You want to carve out a storage room, you can't finish it in five or seven or eight years!
Lu Zhe shook his head: "It looks difficult, but it actually won't take that long!" And once the space is carved out here, we are equivalent to owning a fortress! Neither monkeys, nor crocodiles, nor storms and tsunamis can treat us like that.
Shen Bing felt incredible: "Lu Zhe, but carving a storage room on the stone wall is almost an impossible task for us. "
Why do you say that?"
"The stone wall is too hard, and we don't have modern tools, how can we chisel it?"
Lu Zhe smiled: "Could it be that the ancient cliff dwelling was carved by modern people?" Shen
Bing was stunned!
Ancient cliff dwelling refers to a steep stone wall, full of man-carved stone chambers of different sizes nearly 100,000 square meters, more than 100 stone rooms, the scene is very spectacular.
The stone room has doors, windows, kang, stove, manger, closet, flue, etc., and some stone rooms also have inner and outer suites, similar to the current two-bedroom three-bedroom apartment.
"It is estimated that tens of thousands of craftsmen chiseled it for several years to make it, right?"
"Tens of thousands of craftsmen work for several years, just for more than 100 houses? I don't think it's very likely!
Shen Bing thought about it and felt that it also made some sense.
"Not only ancient cliff dwellings, but also places with rock caves all over the country, as long as the method is used correctly, it only takes one month for us to have a sturdy stone room."
Of course, Shen Bing knew what it meant if they owned a stone house!
Ignoring the storm, ignoring the birds and beasts, and the winter is warm and the summer is cool, clean and easy to clean.
"You know this?"
Lu Zhe nodded: "Slightly understood!"
"Are you a descendant of an ancient stonemason?"
"No, why is there a description of 100,000."
"Lu Zhe, I'm all curious about why you are a hundred thousand now, and when I go back one day, you have to give me a set!"
"Hmm... What if it's out of print?
"How can such a good book be out of print?"
"So who is sure? I also think that the sixteen-character Yin and Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique is good, and it is not out of print!
Shen Bing pinched his waist, his big eyes widened, and his chest trembled: "Hmph, then lend me your set!"
"Hey, is Sister Bing so cute when she is angry?"
"Less smelly farts!"
Lu Zhe nodded: "Okay, I'll definitely look for it when I go back!"
"Okay, no more trouble! Seriously, how long would it take to carve out a stone chamber?!
Lu Zhe recalled that a stonemason surnamed Lu in the central ten sets said that chiseling a 20-square-meter stone room did not require too high technical content, and five stonemasons could complete it in about a month.
And now, Lu Zhe's strength is about ten times that of ordinary people, in terms of work efficiency alone, it is not a problem for one person to top three or four, plus the help of a few sisters, it should not be worse than five stonemasons, conservative, a month and a half is about the same.
"With the tools to build, it's about a month and a half."
"What tools to build?"
Lu Zhe pondered for a while: "The main tools are rivets and iron brazing, as well as hammers!"
"Nothing!"
"No, but don't worry, these tools are very rough and can be built with our existing equipment."
"Keep building tools?"
"That's right, engaged in iron ore, ironmaking, that is, and this time, we have so many trolley boxes, many trolley box materials can be used to make pull-out bellows, improve ironmaking efficiency!"
What Lu Zhe said seemed to Shen Bing not daring to think about it, but listening to him say this, it was as if everything should be taken for granted!
She felt that any difficult thing in the world could not stop the teenager in front of her.
"That... Start now?
"Yes, from now on!"
After that, Lu Zhe began to make a pull-out bellows!
It sounds difficult, but if you have an idea, it's much easier to do.
Use existing materials!
Lu Zhe removed the spokes on several bicycle wheels, used his fingers as pliers, and broke them into small pieces of about 5 centimeters.
More than 20 bamboo strips 40 cm long and 5 cm wide were chopped to make the skeleton of the bellows.
Step 2: He punches a hole in the middle of every two bamboo strips, penetrates them with spoke segments, and bends up and down to fix them as simple bearings.
The two bamboos are fixed together in the middle, but can be rotated freely, like an "X".
Step 3: Three "X" end to end to form the appearance of "XXX" as a group. A total of two sets were made.
Step 4: Remove some canvas and glue it to the top of the two sets of "XXX" with resin. Form a square tube!
Step 5: Seal both sides with bamboo strips, while making handles, use plastic plates to make air ports and valves!
One of the two air valves is placed on the air outlet so that it can only move outward, and one cover is made under the air intake, which can only move inside.
When pulling, the air inlet below sucks in air, and when pushed forward, the air will pass through the bamboo tube from the outlet to the kiln!
