Chapter 212 Li Zhi's Be Careful, Just Play Something Exciting
But in fact, the onlookers were overly worried.
At the end of the guide rail, the design to prevent derailment has been done.
When the loading and unloading machine was about to reach the predetermined position, it stopped steadily under the joint action of manual intervention and derailment design.
This made many people feel relieved.
At the same time, it also attracted complaints from the people.
"Watching the exhibition was still trembling. I really didn't expect this exhibition to be so exciting."
"I was expecting it to fall directly into the Wei River, but it still stopped."
"Haha! It's so exciting! It's been a long time since there was anything that made me thrilled."
……
Hearing these words, Li Zhi smiled knowingly.
In fact, this is the effect of the program that he deliberately arranged to arouse their interest.
Interest is a very precious thing. Li Zhi's purpose has always been to promote inventions and creations, rather than simply showing people some weird objects.
Seeing such an interesting reaction from them, this trip was not in vain.
After the crowd calmed down a bit, Li Zhi then introduced the operating process of the loader.
"The berth of the pier is deliberately made into a groove shape that allows ships to dock in."
"In order to allow the loader to hover right above the ship."
"See the hook on the loader?"
"That's the heavy-duty iron hook used to hook the goods!"
"Just use the hook to hook the rope, and then use your skill to lift the thing up."
"Repeat the previous step and push the loader back to its original position. The entire loading and unloading process is over."
"The same goes for how to load cargo from the ground onto the ship."
"As long as this process is reversed once, the materials on the ground can be transported to the ship!"
……
The voice came out, and soon aroused the curiosity of the crowd.
Someone asked loudly: "You said that this thing can load and unload several thousand catties. Ordinary ropes can't hang such heavy things at all?"
Li Zhi nodded slightly, and explained: "Yes! Ordinary ropes can't support that strength, so we have to use iron ropes!"
While he was explaining, the craftsman who would be the supervisor had already started the work of hanging the rope on the ship.
Two thick ropes twisted together by countless thin golden wires were hung on the huge iron hook that was suspended.
Under the command of a craftsman, the three craftsmen in charge of driving the wheel seat worked together to tighten the iron cable hanging on the iron hook.
This scene again caused the adrenaline of the watching people to secrete crazily.
They naturally thought of the image of the rope being snapped and were excited about it.
But what disappointed them was that the specially-made cargo box on the ship was so easily lifted up by the loader.
Although the whole process was frightening, there were no surprises.
Seeing the huge cargo box suspended in mid-air, the crowd was startled again.
At this time, Li Zhi's voice of explanation came again.
"You must have heard that the imperial court has made great progress in iron casting technology."
"What is before you is the scientific and technological product brought about by the progress of cast iron technology!"
"Whether it is a one-piece cast iron beam or a metal rope, they are all the latest creations born due to the development of smelting technology."
"Their strength is far beyond your imagination. You can rest assured that it will not fall."
If it hadn't been for many tests, Li Zhi wouldn't have dared to be so sure.
But after testing the strength of the beam and the rope, knowing that this thing can hold at least tens of thousands of kilograms of weight, Li Zhi can confidently say that it is impossible to fall.
Under people's unbelievable eyes, Li Zhi continued: "The next step is to put the goods back on the ground, which is also the most dangerous step in the process of loading and unloading the machine. If something goes wrong in this step, it will be the A disaster."
"Whether it is loaded onto a ship or placed on a bullock cart, you must be very alert during the unloading process."
"Because the cargo used by the loader is too heavy, even if it just dumps, or the cargo is unloaded too fast, it may lead to tragedy."
……
In the tense and exciting explanation, the huge iron box was pushed to the sky above the river bank together with the loader under the control of four traction ropes.
Four craftsmen pulled the rope vigorously at the same time, in order to prevent the iron box from shaking in the air.
And the effect of doing so is also very obvious. Although the iron box still shakes slightly, it is still within the range of human control after all.
When the loader appeared above the land, the craftsman in charge worked together with others again.
A total of eight people worked together to place the heavy iron box firmly on the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
It wasn't until this time that the onlookers realized that the huge iron box was actually full of goods.
Shiny black charcoal filled the iron cargo box.
No wonder this thing looks so heavy, it's not an empty box.
Just when the crowd was amazed, Li Zhi's voice appeared again.
"By chance, I just happened to come across the coal delivered from Renzhi Palace today."
"The king asked them to use this batch of coal to demonstrate the function of the loading and unloading machine."
"This batch of charcoal plus the weight of the iron box weighs a total of five thousand catties."
"For five thousand kilograms of cargo, only eight people are required to operate it at the same time, and it can be unloaded from the ship to the ground steadily."
"Unloading an extremely cumbersome unloading job from the ship in a very short period of time in a simple and rude way."
"And this is what the loading and unloading machine is for!"
……
If you are not a sailor working on the dock, it is difficult to really understand the convenience brought by the stevedore in moving cargo.
But even so, it still amazed the onlookers.
Their daily work is often involved in the handling of goods.
Although they don’t understand it as deeply as sailors, they can still roughly understand how much convenience the loader and unloader can bring to the dock.
"It would be great if I could copy down the part of the structure that lifts the heavy object. Three people can lift a five-thousand-jin object, which is a bit outrageous."
"The guide rails are also very useful. The loading and unloading machine itself is at least five thousand catties, right? It's so smooth to push. This thing is used for short-distance transportation, and it has a miraculous effect if you think about it."
"That's right, actually it's okay if you don't think about it carefully. If you think about it carefully, this thing is full of unreasonable things everywhere, but it can really unload such a heavy thing. It's so strange."
"There must be something magical that we haven't discovered. It would be great if His Highness could tell us how it works."
