Chapter 414: Blatant Bribery
"So I thought, if there is a tool that can rotate quickly, will the liquid plastic be thrown out as a thread?"
Shen Youyou got up again and went back to the house, taking out the plastic cotton machine she had made and the drawings.
She placed the model of the plastic cotton machine on the coffee table and explained:
"This is the tool I came up with. It's a rocker. By shaking the rocker, the shaft connected below will turn, and the small bucket with small holes for washing will also turn.
If we put a small stove directly under this tool, and heat the liquid plastic while shaking the handle to quickly turn the bucket, would we be able to throw out a lot of silk-like threads at once?"
Fu Huaian understood immediately. This was definitely his strong point. You know, people can make cannons by themselves, let alone this machine: "This shaft needs at least two to rotate, right?"
"Yes, the other parts are already being made, but if we want this shaft to rotate completely smoothly, it needs to be made with a steel mold."
After just one sentence from the other party, Shen Youyou felt like she had met an expert. She understood it at a glance, unlike Uncle Tietou, who had to spend a lot of effort to explain the workings of this thing.
Fu Huai'an sat closer and took down the parts of the cotton machine model one by one. He reassembled them and said after thinking for a while:
"This shaft is not easy to turn here. It would be better if the big shaft drives the small shaft. The handle extends out and a shaft is added here to make a handle similar to a rudder, which is easier to turn."
“I thought about this question, but at that time I considered that the axis was difficult to make and could be changed later, so I didn’t draw the extended axis.”
"It's okay. The shaft is not difficult to make. And the long rod connecting the shaft and the bucket is very cleverly designed. By rotating it, the two sides can be fastened together. But I always feel that it will come loose when used."
Shen Youyou was impressed. How could this young master be so proficient in mechanics? "I call this a thread, but it actually needs a screw to fix it."
Shen Youyou took out a piece of paper and a charcoal pencil, drew a turnbuckle and a screw, and said, "I call these two together a screw, but it's a bit difficult to make, so I still have to use a mold.
This turnbuckle can be used in this position, and if a whole set of screws can be manufactured, the position of the bracket can be made movable.”
Fu Huaian's eyes were full of surprise: "This screw is very useful, it can be used in many places."
Especially for the small artillery he is making now, it is perfect to use this thing to fix the bracket.
The two of them chatted back and forth like this, without any of the initial restraint, just like like-minded friends.
Ah Chi, who witnessed the whole process, couldn't get a word in, and was even more confused. What were these two people talking about? Why were they talking in jargon? Could they please speak normal language?
Moreover, as he watched, the two of them were pointing and talking at a model, their shoulders touching, and even drawing on paper.
I always feel that these two people can swear an oath of blood alliance and become sworn brothers today.
Ah Chi wanted to say: "Don't blame me for thinking Miss Shen is a tomboy. Look at her, how can she think of herself as a girl?
Also, Master, didn't you tell me to be careful with my words before? You also told me that she was a girl. You sat so close to her, can you tell me, do you think she is a girl now?"
Ah Chi quietly got up, took the teapot, poured out the remaining tea in the teapot, added some osmanthus tea, and poured hot water to make a brew.
I tried to slow down my movements as much as possible, and even though I complained a lot in my heart, I didn't dare to interrupt the two of them.
Because he was too familiar with this scene, the two of them were simply immersed in it. If he interrupted at this time, he would probably be punished. It was not like he had never encountered this before.
But at this moment,
"Brother, little general brother!"
Little boy Shen Luming came home from school. He just heard that a general had come to his house and was very handsome. He wondered if it was his little general brother who came to see him. He was so happy and excited.
We ran all the way home, and our little face was sweating.
The two people were sitting on the sofa, one holding a pen and paper, the other fiddling with a model, and they looked up at the same time and saw a small cannonball rushing into the room.
There was a group of little kids following behind.
Fu Huaian's eyes were full of smiles, but he was not forgiving in his words: "Why are you running so fast? Don't fall down accidentally."
Shen Youyou also said: "What's the first thing to do after school?"
The kids were so anxious to get home that they could barely catch their breath, but they still answered in unison: "Wash your hands and face."
Shen Youyou nodded with satisfaction: "Go ahead, wash up first and then talk."
Shen Luming and Shen Yuanbao could only look at Fu Huaian reluctantly and went to wash their hands and faces helplessly.
Shen Youyou looked at the little appearance and smiled.
Seeing that the two had almost finished their discussion, she turned to look at Fu Huai'an:
"General Fu, I think lunch is almost ready. How about I take you to the iron furnace room after lunch? The cotton machine is halfway done, but I still have no idea about the parts that need to be cast."
In fact, Shen Youyou has almost sorted out the method of frying steel, and the method she sorted out is a relatively advanced method in modern times, which should be better than the existing ones. If she were to take this thing out now, it might bring trouble to herself.
When she first discussed this issue with Fu Huaian, she also wanted to ask him if she could pay a blacksmith at home who could make steel to help make these parts.
But now seeing how sensitive he is to machinery, coupled with his statement that it’s not difficult to make, it feels even more interesting.
"it is good!"
Shen Luming, who had just washed his face, looked puzzled: "Brother and sister, what are you laughing at?"
He was very unhappy, thinking that he had not taken him seriously enough. When he came back after washing his face, his brothers and sisters didn't notice him.
Shen Youyou looked at her brother: "I'm not laughing, I just found out that your little general brother has unique insights into cotton machines."
Shen Luming's eyes lit up when he heard this: "If it's not made by a cotton machine, sister can make delicious cloud-like candy for me."
"Theoretically it's possible."
Shen Luming didn't care about theory or not, he just knew that as long as his sister said it was okay, he would do it, so he happily walked around the coffee table and threw himself on Fu Huaian.
"Little General, can you help my sister make the cotton machine? Uncle Tietou is too stupid. My sister has taught him many times, but he still can't do it. Luming really wants to eat candy that looks like a cloud."
Fu Huaian directly held Shen Luming on his lap: "Okay."
Shen Youyou threatened him: "You better be careful. Don't you see Ding Ding Dang Dang? Be careful, I will tell on you later and Uncle Tietou will beat you up."
Shen Luming quickly turned around and smiled ingratiatingly at the Dingdang brothers who had also finished washing up: "Don't tell Uncle Tietou, make it and we'll eat together."
Shen Youyou, Fu Huaian, and A Chi were all amused by his blatant bribery.
Just at this moment, Erbao's voice came from outside, asking them to go eat.
Shen Youyou stood up and said, "Let's go, General Fu, Ah Chi is ready to eat."
