Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World

Chapter 124 Oil Press

The canyon has always received great attention from Zhao Hai. It was determined by Zhao Hai as the most stable rear base besides space.

The terrain of the mountain gorge is very hidden, and the mountains on all sides block the cold wind. It is not difficult to add water sources. There are also two ways to communicate with the outside, water and land. It can be said to be very convenient and more suitable for human habitation.

Zhao Hai believed that he would have more and more men in the future. As long as he had the strength to build a small principality here due to the size of the black soil wasteland, with more men, it would naturally be impossible for them all to live in Tieshan Castle. Those people still have to branch out and build villages.

However, before he has enough strength to build a country, Zhao Hai can only build a small village here in the canyon as a pilot to see what problems need to be improved to facilitate the establishment of larger villages in the future.

However, the land in the canyon has not been truly improved yet, and it is not time to build a village yet. Zhao Hai just has such an idea now.

Three days passed quickly, and Zhao Hai and the others were almost ready. Now they were waiting for Laura and the others to deliver the oil press, and then Green could go to Casa City.

At noon on the third day, the Majidel family’s convoy arrived at the foot of the Rock Mountain. This time Laura did not come forward, it was Green who did. They also did not let the Makkidal family go to the Rock Mountain. He hitched up the five carriages originally bought by Green on the mountain, sent the radishes down the mountain, and then pulled the oil press that Laura helped buy onto the carriage.

In addition to these five oil presses, the Machidel family also gave Green two hundred gold coins and a set of books. This set of books is a complete encyclopedia of animals and plants on the mainland, written by an alchemist from the mainland. Yes, this set of books is a gift from Laura to Zhao Hai.

Last time Zhao Hai told Laura that he had some research on plants and was planning to open a ranch. Laura wanted to form an alliance with Zhao Hai. Of course she would not let go of such an opportunity, so she bought it. This set of books was given to Zhao Hai.

This set of books is rare on the mainland. In order to write this book, the alchemist spent twenty years collecting a large amount of information about the animals and plants on the mainland, and visited many alchemists and alchemists. , and finally I went to many places by myself to study those animals and plants, and finally wrote this set of books.

Because this set of books is not a magic book, there are not many printed ones. Generally, only some alchemists or alchemists have a set of them.

In addition to giving 10,000 catties of radishes to the people of the Majidel family, Zhao Hai and the others also gave 110 fire ding fish, which Zhao Hai promised to Laura. The extra ten fire ding fish were from Zhao Hai. A gift from the sea to Laura.

The oil presses that Laura sent to Zhao Hai were not very large. The top five oil presses only took five carriages to load. They could just load the radishes when they returned.

Green pulled the five oil presses to the mountain without any trouble. He did not unload the oil presses when they reached the mountain, and then asked Zhao Hai to put the carriages into the space.

The arrival of these oil presses was beyond Zhao Hai's expectation. There was an instruction manual to guide you on how to arrange the oil presses. This made Zhao Hai feel very puzzled. He really didn't understand what the Ark Continent is now. what's the situation.

Let’s say there is no science here. Their alchemy and alchemy are somewhat related to science. Let’s say there is no machine civilization here. An oil press like this is also very sophisticated in design. It cannot be regarded as having no science at all. Moreover, there are also With magic and fighting spirit that are not found on earth, Zhao Hai really doesn't know what to say.

After receiving the oil press and 200 gold coins, Zhao Hai and the others went directly to Tieshan Fort and installed the oil press in the packed warehouses.

The design of this oil press is really good. It is more than three meters high in total. The top is a feeding barrel, which is very large. The lower part is something like a millstone. There is a long rod on the outside. Put on the Magic Beast and pull it. There is an oil outlet at the bottom. This oil outlet can be pulled out with a pipe. The oil can be discharged directly from here. There is also an oil residue outlet.

It seems very simple, but the battlefield area of ​​the entire machine exceeds 20 square meters, and the volume is not small anymore. However, the oil press can be disassembled and divided into several parts. Otherwise, a carriage would be too big. Can't pull it down.

Zhao Hai took a look and found that the feeding port was too high from the ground. If you want to add materials, there are only two ways. One is to put some boards next to the feeding port to form a slope, and people can directly Push the trolley to the feeding port for feeding. Another way is to use a conveyor belt.

Using a conveyor belt is a relatively easy way. You can directly load the oil fruits onto the conveyor belt from below, and then send them to the feeding port through the conveyor belt.

This kind of oil press does not have any conveyor belt designed. I am afraid that no one on this continent will use this thing. This conveyor belt was used by Zhao Hai in some grain depots he saw on the earth, so he thought of it.

The method of building boards is commonly used on this continent. Some people just dig a big hole in the ground, and then put the oil press into the hole, so that the material can be added on the ground. However, after discharging the material, Asking people to transport the oil barrels up from the pit, Zhao Hai did not want to use this method. In that case, he would have to dig a pit here in the castle, which is not an easy task. The ground here in the castle is all made of stone, which is not the case. If you want to dig a hole, you will have to dig out all the rocks. In that case, you may even have to demolish the house.

Zhao Hai still wants to make a conveyor belt. It is not difficult to make a conveyor belt, and the required power can be obtained directly from the oil press. But it needs some modifications.

Fortunately, the whole body of this oil press is made of metal. If you want to modify it, you only need to add some metal parts to it.

But now comes the problem. None of Zhao Hai’s group knows how to be a blacksmith. If he really wants to make a conveyor belt, he has to find a blacksmith, and the blacksmith’s ability cannot be too high. weak.

Zhao Hai only found out after asking Green and the others that although there are many machines on the mainland that can use magic crystals as power, simple machines like this that can only squeeze fruit oil are really not worthy. If he uses magic crystal as power, he may not be able to buy the magic crystal for the money he sells for the oil he squeezes out, so this kind of machine is usually only designed to be water-powered, wind-powered or animal-powered.

Since there is no way to make a conveyor belt, they can only build boards. Fortunately, they have no shortage of boards now, but they do not have a cart to transport oil nuts, nor do they have wooden barrels, so Green has to go to Casa City to buy them.

Green also knew this situation, and he immediately left for Casa City, while Zhao Hai began to build boards for these oil presses in Tieshanbao, and at the same time, he also prepared a place for washing oil fruits. Fortunately, they The water source in the city is very convenient. Zhao Hai asked An and the others to build a huge stone pool directly outside these oil pressing plants to wash the oil fruits and then transport the oil fruits to the house. It is sent to the oil press through the erected board.

The water in that pool is always flowing, so there is no need to change the water. If the small hairs on the oil fruit flow into the moat, they can also become fish food.

However, Zhao Hai also calculated that an oil press requires at least one person to add materials, and one person to watch the oil and oil residue. If the people who clean the oil are also included, then at least four people are needed, five machines. The oil press requires at least twenty people to complete.

Zhao Hai is not worried about manpower. Zhao Hai does not want to use slaves to work in this kind of oil pressing plant, because this kind of oil pressing plant needs to work 24 hours a day. If all those slaves are used, it will take at least three Shift, that is to say, if those slaves are used, at least 60 people are needed to ensure the normal operation of the oil pressing plant. Zhao Hai currently has more than 100 people in his hands, and 60 people are mobilized to do this oil pressing plant at once. It was obviously impossible to build an oil mill, so Zhao Hai decided to use undead creatures to build this oil mill.

Twenty humanoid undead creatures were responsible for feeding and extracting the oil, but Zhao Haida wanted to use scaly wildebeest to pull the oil extraction force.

It's not that Zhao Hai doesn't want to use other undead creatures to replace the scaly wildebeest, but that there are no suitable ones. The undead creatures he collected last time all came out of the carrion swamp. Not only are they huge in size, but these undead creatures are also They are not suitable for pulling things. The force to push this kind of oil press does not need to be too big, but it must be stable. It is naturally impossible for someone with a huge body like an alien to pull an oil press, like that big rat. For the smaller ones, their forward speed was not stable, and they had no choice, so in the end Zhao Hai still wanted to use scaly wildebeest to pull the oil press.

Zhao Hai doesn't have many adult scaly wildebeests now, but they are enough. Zhao Hai has already planned. If it doesn't work, he will kill a few scaly wildebeests and then turn these few scaly wildebeests into immortals. Biology, this problem is solved.

Everything is ready here in Zhao Hai. They just need to wait for Green to buy back all the things they use, and then they can officially start work.

The opening of the oil pressing plant is not a trivial matter. As long as the oil pressing plant is started, they can get another stable source of income. At the same time, they will have high-quality feed such as oil residue, and their rabbit farm can also be used. Once it is started, they will have another stable source of income, which is really important to the Buda family now.
