Quick Transmigration: Passer-by Craftsman System [MTL]

Chapter 41

There is a relatively free period after the autumn harvest. Although you still have to work every day, the labor intensity is not as high as before, and people can relax a little more.

When the educated youth had time, they collected some local specialties from the villagers and sent them home to express their gratitude to their families. The villagers sell their own mountain products, so there is no middleman to make a difference in price, so it is cheaper to buy. Of course, they are definitely not as good-looking as those specially sold, and they are affordable for everyone. They don't need to be in good condition, as long as the goods are good.

Zhaoming doesn't do anything special. He also collects some local mushrooms, dried bamboo shoots, lotus root starch, etc., packs them up, and sends them home. He has always made a clear distinction between personal emotions and personal obligations. No matter what he thinks in his heart, he always does a good job on the surface and is blameless.

He also borrowed tools from the carpenter in the village, asked the village chief for some wood, and made a drawing of his own, saying he wanted to make a small machine that automatically spreads seeds. The educated youth who lived in the same room with him thought it was interesting and helped to do it together. Later, even the old educated youths joined in. There were indeed a few people among them who were proficient in mechanics.

In fact, what Zhaoming made was a hand-push seeder that was very common in later generations. It can set the spacing and the number of seeds dropped each time. And you push it all the way while standing, so it's not strenuous and you don't need to bend down again and again. Although he did not have this memory at the moment, he had some vague inspiration and began to think about it.

In fact, in the past, the village used a columbine cart for sowing, pulled by an ox and a donkey in the front, and followed by a person at the back. However, this method of sowing has flaws. According to the instructions of the technician who came here, there should be a strict spacing of several centimeters between seeds, and there should be an accurate number of seeds in each pit. Traditional columbiners cannot do this. point.

So what to do? In order to increase production, local sowing methods use a very primitive and ancient method. The person in front still has to pull the plow to cultivate all the way, and the person behind bends down again and again to scatter seeds and cover them with a thin layer of soil. Constantly bending over like this is actually a very tiring job, and it is also very unfriendly to the spine, making it easy for you to hunch your back.

Because the educated youths were not experienced at work, others disliked them and refused to let them do the work of sowing seeds, but Zhaoming found it tiring even if he just watched from the sidelines. He was wondering if he could make a hand-push seeder.

But he is a city boy, and he has only known about farming in the past six months. Although he seems to have a vague concept in his mind, he only knows a concept, but he is really unclear about the details. So he was ready for a long-term war of resistance and was thinking about it slowly.

Who knew that there were two mechanical masters hidden among the old educated youths? What he couldn't understand was that they immediately understood that the backhand was just a mechanical drawing, and a small model was made two days later.

Everyone walked around the field with crude models and used pebbles to pretend to be seeds.

"It's done?" The sponsor Zhao Ming still looked incredulous. Sure enough, you have to find professionals for everything.

So they made a standard one, and some of the metal parts in the middle were specially sourced from the county. There is a place in the county that specializes in selling bicycle parts. Assembling bicycles yourself is more affordable than buying off-the-shelf bicycles, and business has been good.
