Chapter 182: Transforming the Generator (Subscription Request)

While Xu Ye was tying the steel bars skillfully, he explained the importance and techniques of each step to the children watching.

"Look, only by tying the steel bars crosswise and tightly can the foundation be ensured to be stable. Just like when you learn a craft, the foundation must be laid firmly, otherwise no matter how hard you work later, it will be in vain."

The children listened with great interest, and some even took out small notebooks to take careful notes, for fear of missing any details.

As the steel bars were tied one by one, a solid foundation frame gradually took shape.

Xu Ye stopped from time to time to check whether the steel bars were tied firmly to ensure that every detail met the requirements.

The foundation of a house is extremely important. If the foundation is not solid, the house on it will collapse sooner or later.

After completing the reinforcement of a ground beam, Xu Ye started to let other people work, and he gave instructions from the side.

Later on, we will need to build a farm, lay the foundation, and tie steel bars.

At that time, these people can play a role.

It only took Xu Ye and his team one afternoon to tie up the steel bars needed for the foundation and septic tank.

The next step, of course, is to pour the concrete.

In fact, a vibrator is also needed to pour concrete.

Now they don’t have it, so they can only rely on hammering on the outside of the formwork to create a vibrating effect.

This hammer cannot be used with an iron hammer, it has to be a wooden hammer.

So, before it got dark, Xu Ye took them to start making wooden hammers.

There is strength in numbers, but unfortunately we are short on tools.

Otherwise, Xu Ye would be able to lead them to make enough wooden hammers before dark.

But Xu Ye was not in a hurry, because he was not in a hurry to go hunting anyway.

When it was time to get off work, Xu Ye let everyone go home.

In the evening, Jiang Ruyue did not stay at her parents' house, but came back to have dinner together.

After dinner, Xu Ye went into his studio.

He had dismantled the generator last time, and tonight he was going to start modifying it and transform it into a water turbine engine.

He had previously commissioned Fan Dajun to purchase some gears of different sizes, and Fan Dajun asked his brother-in-law to help him get them.

I really have to thank him for this.

Otherwise, it would not be easy for ordinary people to buy gears.

Xu Ye first made a shelf out of wood to install the gears.

He carefully placed each gear on the rack according to the designed position, and marked the locations where holes needed to be drilled on the wooden rack with a pencil to ensure that the gears would fit perfectly together.

There was a gleam of concentration in Xu Ye's eyes. The tools in his hands seemed to come alive under his deft manipulation, and he completed each step with precision.

The night gradually deepened and only a dim kerosene lamp was lit in the studio, but Xu Ye did not feel tired at all.

After several hours of hard work, the gear installation work was finally completed.

Xu Ye examined his work with satisfaction. Every gear fit perfectly, as if warming up for the upcoming success.

Next, he needed to connect these gears to the main shaft of the generator.

Xu Ye moved the generator over and installed it at the designated location.

Then he spun a dial.

Seeing the generator start to turn, Xu Ye smiled with relief.

This shows that there is no problem with his design, and it just depends on whether the subsequent rotation speed can be achieved.

Xu Ye plans to use an Archimedean screw pump and gear connection to provide sufficient rotation speed.

After all, this type of generator has requirements for the rotation speed, otherwise Xu Ye would not have used a gear combination to increase the rotation speed.

Xu Ye took out the Archimedean screw pump that he had prepared from the toolbox. This is a device that uses the rotation of spiral blades to push liquid in the pump casing to achieve the purpose of pumping. He cleverly connected the screw pump with a part of the gear to ensure that when the water flows through the screw pump, it can drive the gear to rotate at high speed.

After installation, Xu Ye prepared to try out the effect.

Nowadays he uses only wood because there is no other material available.

The service life of wood is relatively short, but Xu Ye doesn't care.

Anyway, there is no shortage of wood now, and he also has the skills.

With electricity, he could buy an electric welding machine.

By then, other materials can naturally be used.

Electricity is the basis of everything. We must first develop electricity before we can do anything else.

The darkness had no effect on Xu Ye at all, so he moved his things directly to the back mountain.

After finding a suitable location, Xu Ye installed the things on the shore.

Then, place the Archimedean screw pump into the water.

The water is still very turbulent and should be able to achieve the ideal speed.

After being put into water, the screw pump starts to rotate rapidly.

Then, it drives the generator.

Xu Ye looked at the generator's distribution box and saw the pointer move.

Soon, the voltage of the pointer moved to the 220V position.

Xu Ye was so excited that he quickly inserted the prepared plug into the socket connected to the distribution box.

The light suddenly became brighter, illuminating Xu Ye's face.

"Success!"

Xu Ye looked at his work and felt a sense of accomplishment.

“It’s not bad to have your own small eddy current power station in 75 years!”

Xu Ye couldn't help but feel proud.

However, the power of this generator is limited and it is only suitable for one or two households.

Xu Ye would definitely not publicize the fact that there is electricity.

He didn't put the things here directly because he needed to build a small room with cement and bricks to place the generator, and the generator must be kept away from water.

Tonight, I just wanted to verify whether my modification was successful.

After taking the things home, Xu Ye put them in his studio.

After finishing all this, Xu Ye returned to the room.

Jiang Ruoan was giving Jiang Ruyue a massage. When he saw Xu Ye coming back, he quickly asked Xu Ye to lie down beside him and prepared to give Xu Ye a massage as well.

Xu Ye did not refuse, knowing that Jiang Ruoan wanted to do more using his identity as his wife.

After all, according to the agreement, they were going to get divorced in 4 days.

Xu Ye lay on the edge of the bed, feeling Jiang Ruoan's gentle touch on his back, with mixed feelings in his heart.

The day of divorce is approaching, which makes him feel a little emotional.

Although the marriage was initially based on a special agreement, an indescribable emotional bond has been established between the three of them during this time.

"Ruoan, thank you." Xu Ye said softly, with a barely perceptible tremor in his voice.

Jiang Ruoan's hand paused for a moment, then continued massaging, and responded softly: "Brother Ye, do we still need to say thank you to each other? I am also very happy to be able to do something for you."

Jiang Ruyue watched this scene quietly from the side, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
