Chapter 64 Hydraulic Forging Hammer

After seven days of hard work, Roman finally saw the prompt for skill upgrade.

[Level 2 Forging: 0\\380]

[Milestone Unlocked: How Steel is Made]

[How Steel is Made: Obtain 500 Original Stones]

Countless kinds of knowledge also emerged in his mind, and the effect was even more intense than the improvement of planting skills.

…

Roman rubbed his temples, received everything, and sorted it out.

His red eyes lit up immediately.

It was as if a flame was ignited in the depths of his eyes.

"Got it!"

"What got it?"

Lax, who had always been paying attention to Roman, couldn't help asking.

These days, he watched Roman forge one big iron pot after another, and his craftsmanship became more and more sophisticated, and in the end he completely surpassed him.

Today, this devil finally stopped, otherwise he didn't know whether he should call himself a blacksmith.

Roman raised the corner of his mouth: "Hydraulic forging hammer!"

Lax was at a loss.

But Roman didn't explain so much.

He directly suspended all the work of the blacksmith apprentices.

In the past few days, they have forged fifty or sixty shovels day and night, which is far from meeting the needs of road paving workers. The main reason is that this thing is too troublesome, only slightly worse than the craftsmanship of forging plate armor.

Now they have more important things to do.

Roman called Vic again and asked all carpenters to follow his orders to make all the materials needed for the hydraulic forging hammer.

The hydraulic forging hammer is not complicated in nature, and it can be built by mastering the key knowledge.

Roman designed a multi-gear transmission shaft system, which has a more complex structure.

The advantage is that it can drive five or even more forging hammers to move at the same time.

This power system is similar to the courtyard startling deer - the water in the courtyard flows into the bamboo tube, the tail falls down and rises again, making a crisp sound, and the process is repeated, which is quite artistic.

The waterwheel has more and larger water buckets to control the continuous rise and fall of those huge and heavy forging hammers.

The waterwheel drives the transmission shaft, which can rotate once in 8 seconds. Once the transmission shaft rotates once, it can transmit power through the gears to drive each forging hammer to rise and fall 5 times, with a very high frequency.

Under this high-frequency forging, the raw iron ingots were quickly forged into steel.

Roman spent two days, and all the blacksmiths and carpenters were busy because of his instructions, and finally arranged this huge power transmission system.

The water system in this basin is well developed, and the residents of Sige Town call it the "winding river" - like the traces of a snake crawling.

The river has a stable flow rate and a suitable depth, which is very suitable for the use of hydraulic forging hammers.

Each forging hammer weighs about 200 kilograms, and five forging hammers directly use 1,000 kilograms of steel.

But it's all worth it!

Even a superhuman like Roman can't lift a 200-kilogram forging hammer for a long time, and lift and drop it at this frequency.

Not to mention long-term maintenance, even if it is maintained for a short period of more than ten minutes, his arms will be useless.

But the transmission shaft and gears will not be like this. Even if they are damaged, they only need to replace the wood.

Those heavy and huge forging hammers rise and fall for a long time.

Lax opened his mouth and looked at the shocking scene in front of him in disbelief.

For Roman, this was just an appetizer. He was happy because he could continue to save labor.

But it was not the case for Lux.

He seemed to have seen the first ray of light at the beginning of the world, and his brain stopped working.

Roman snorted: "You are a group of lucky fools. You have seen the real power. Watch it. No extraordinary person can be its opponent. From now on, I will lead all of you forward!"

When everyone recovered from the shock, they found that Roman had left the blacksmith shed at some point.

…

Roman knew that Lux would make good use of the power system of the hydraulic forging hammer and forge more steel tools for him later.

Steel tools mean that production efficiency can be greatly improved.

He has too many things to do. Sometimes it is not that he can't brush up his skills, but that various environmental restrictions prevent him from developing comprehensively. Most skills are not necessary to brush up, and it will only waste time.

Because there are not enough people to meet his various development needs.

Roman is troubled by the lack of labor every day.

Of course, the construction progress is proceeding in an orderly manner.

With the help of iron tools such as shovels and hoes, the progress of road construction immediately increased significantly.

In seven days, they actually advanced nearly five kilometers in length, with an average of 700 meters per day.

This was also due to the 50 chickens that Roman fed them every day - only the front-line laborers could eat them.

Although on average, more than ten people shared one chicken, and each person could eat at most two pieces of chicken.

But this was still a rare enjoyment.

Most farmers raised poultry not to satisfy their appetite, but to raise them for money and buy various necessities of life.

They thought that after the poultry was bought by the lord, they would never see it again in this life.

However, who could have expected that after only a few days, they actually saw the poultry they had raised since childhood in the big iron pot.

This made them shed sad tears at the corners of their mouths.

If the air-dried chicken was eaten up, Roman would feed them ducks.

When the ducks are all eaten, they will be fed to the geese, and when the geese are all eaten, they will start slaughtering the pigs and sheep.

That was the original plan.

But things suddenly took a turn.

The incident started when Roman was forging iron. Several wild boars rushed out of the forest north of the Origin Manor at night and destroyed the vegetable fields he had reclaimed.

Although the scope of the damage was not large, about half an acre of land, there was still some loss.

Seeing this, Gweil burst into tears.

She finally moved the pine needle soil from the mixed woods and sprinkled a layer on the ten acres of vegetable fields.

Every day after studying, she squatted beside the vegetable fields to watch their growth.

It was about ten days before they could harvest.

As a result, many tubers of wind grass were dug out and gnawed by wild boars, which naturally made her feel very uncomfortable.

In fact, in previous years in the town of Sger, such wild beasts often ravaged the fields and destroyed crops.

And the locals were often helpless.

They had to let them go.

Even the guards could only deal with wild beasts that attacked people and villages, and it was impossible to watch over all the land.

Moore had no interest in hunting before. The poultry raised in the town of Sger was enough for their daily needs. Hunting meant danger.

But Roman couldn't bear it.

He felt that these spring wild boars were here to bring warmth.

"If you don't take the road to heaven, you will go to hell!"

He immediately called Green and Aaron.

Dota was the captain, leading 40 guards to stand in front of Roman.

All of them were tall and straight, wearing the same style of linen military uniforms, with straight waists. They looked outstanding in their military posture after standing for so long.

They basically did nothing in the past month and devoted themselves to training.

They had to train for three or four hours every day just for military posture and marching in step. They had three meals a day and meat every day, without any logistical concerns.
