Chu Ze was indeed surprised.
"What is this?" Chu Ze walked over and pointed at the huge thing in front of him.
Hearing Chu Ze's voice, Lao Zhou and others turned around suddenly.
"Dean, you're here!" Lao Zhou was so excited that his teeth were exposed. He quickly stepped aside and asked Chu Ze to step forward, "Dean, look, you asked us to make a special rolling steel We have now made the machine."
"this one?"
This behemoth was quite unexpected by Chu Ze.
Lao Zhou bent his eyes and nodded: "That's it."
"Yes, since the last explanation from the dean, we have tried many solutions, and this is the one that works."
"Yes, we have already tried it once. Dean, please come over and take a look." Someone came over with a round steel bar and showed it to Chu Ze.
Chu Ze took a look and his eyes lit up.
The bare steel bar in front of me looks like a modern smooth steel bar!
"Not bad, you actually made it." Chu Ze took the steel bar and looked at it curiously.
Not bad, this is a big improvement.
When Lao Zhou and others heard this, they were so proud that their tails were raised.
The next moment, their pride was dampened by Chu Ze's "but".
Lao Zhou and others looked at Chu Ze subconsciously: "But what?"
Chu Ze turned his head and met everyone's nervous eyes.
He smiled and completed what he had left unfinished: "This type alone is not enough, we also need textured ones." He pointed at the steel bar and made a rough gesture, "Such a round and protruding texture , such steel bars can fit better with cement. But it is not easy to make such a machine, can you do it?"
Hearing that Chu Ze said no, Lao Zhou and the others' hearts that had been worrying about them were instantly relieved.
As long as they don't say no, they will always find a way to solve other requests.
Lao Zhou didn't even think about it, he patted his chest and said it was no problem.
No problem.
"Then let's take a look at the machine."
Lao Zhou smiled even more happily and enthusiastically led Chu Ze to the feed entrance.
Lao Zhou pointed to the bucket-like entrance and introduced it to Chu Ze: "This is the feed entrance."
The feed opening is cylindrical and slowly narrows inward until the steel is rolled to the size they require.
The entire machine is three to four meters long. Someone puts the steel in at the inlet, and then pushes the initial steel in manually. When the steel appears at the outlet, the person at the outlet will immediately take over and grab the steel. Hold the steel and pull it outward to continue discharging material.
At the steel inlet, new steel is fed in.
In this way, the steel will continue to flow out.
The forming of steel depends on the inward extrusion force of the machine.
The extrusion force is driven by more than 40 manpower positions on both sides of the two machines.
The entire machine requires nearly a hundred people to operate.
The manpower consumption is too great.
If this happens, the price of steel will definitely rise.
This is contrary to Chu Ze's original intention.
After reading it over, he asked Lao Zhou: "Have you never thought about using bearings to reduce manpower?"
Old Zhou Yi was stunned.
"Bearings are used here." Lao Zhou looked blank.
If there were no bearings, this machine would not be able to operate without even two hundred people.
Chu Ze: "..."
It seemed like he had to take action.
"We are talking about the kind made of steel, with balls inside." However, the precision required for this kind of bearing is not low, and I don't know if Xiao Linzi and the others can make it. Chu Ze said, "Let's put this aside first. In two days we will ask Xiao Linzi to bring the thing over to you for inspection. In the next two days, you will first see how to make textured steel bars out of it."
Lao Zhou was confused by the previous words.
But he understood the next words.
It's not difficult to make textured steel bars.
They can make this machine, what else are they afraid of?
Lao Zhou patted his chest and promised, "Dean, just wait and see."
"Okay, when these things are completed, I will reward you with merit." At this time, Chu Ze never stingy with money.
But the reputation still required Zhu Yuanzhang's nod, so he didn't say that he would give them a surprise when the time came.
Even so, it was enough to make Lao Zhou and the others happy.
Lao Zhou and others were happy for a while, then turned around and started studying how to make patterned steel bars.
Chu Ze was pulled by them and couldn't leave even if he wanted to.
This stay is just another day.
It wasn't until midnight that Chu Ze came back yawning.
I managed to sleep until noon the next day.
He ate slowly and took the people to Zuofu.
In front of the Zuofu Gate, I waited for an hour.
The doorman who went in to report the incident has not returned yet.
Ah!
Playing with him, right?
Showing off your power, right?
Don't even look at who he is.
Is he someone who will suffer in vain?
no!
If Zuo Chong dares to leave him alone at the door, he must have the courage to bear the consequences of making him angry.
Chu Ze stepped up the steps, stood on the top step, looked up at the door plaque in front of him, and then, Chu Ze's eyes slowly moved down, landing on the closed red lacquer door.
"Zhao Si."
Zhao Si immediately stepped forward: "Master, please give me your instructions."
"Master Zuo's door is broken, please repair it for Master Zuo."
"yes."
Zhao Si turned around and waved to the servants behind him, leading them to rush to the door. With three clicks, five divided by two, they dismantled the two red-lacquered doors.
The door of Zuofu, which was closed just now, is now open.
The servants of Zuo Mansion were dumbfounded and did not dare to step forward to stop him.
Chu Ze moved.
He looked at the open door indifferently, picked up his clothes, and strode inside.
That gesture was like returning home.
Only then did the servants of the Zuo Mansion realize what they were doing, and a clever one hurriedly ran to the study.
He had only taken two steps out when he heard Chu Ze's voice shouting behind him: "Why are you running? We can go and notify him ourselves, so I won't bother you." Then he was held down by one of Chu Ze's servants. .
This boy was fished out by Chu Ze from the Jinyi Guards, and his skills were not even good.
Chu Ze walked past the Zuo Mansion servant who was being held down, and walked toward the main courtyard without looking back.
When Zuo Chong heard the news, Chu Ze had already reached the door of his yard.
As soon as he saw Zuo Chong, Chu Ze's face immediately showed a warm and familiar smile: "Hey, Mr. Zuo! I'm sorry, Mr. Zuo, I see that your family's door has been unable to be opened. I guess something is wrong. I took it upon myself to solve the problem for Mr. Zuo, I hope Mr. Zuo won’t be blamed.”
Zuo Chong's face turned blue and black. Before he could say "You forced yourself into a house", Chu Ze pushed out a man dressed as a Confucian scholar behind him.
"Master Zuo, this is the doctor we borrowed from His Highness the Fifth Prince. He specializes in bone setting. His skills are three points better than those of the doctors in the palace. Master Zuo, are you sure you don't want Young Master Ling to try it?" Chu Ze raised the corner of his mouth, He looked at Zuo Chong slyly and raised his eyebrows encouragingly.
