Chapter 19 Let’s make some glue first
After lunch, the rain subsided a little, and Frederick came to the blacksmith shop in a carriage.
The carriage, which had just been equipped with bearings this morning, ran very fast and left the city in a short time.
When Frederick was 3 years old, he fell into a puddle on the road. His father immediately ordered all sewers in the city to be cleaned and dredged regularly. Now there is not much water on the road. , not afraid of water splashing on pedestrians.
The blacksmith shop was as lively as ever, and the sound of "dang-dang-dang" hammering could be heard from afar.
Ordinary blacksmiths forge the red-hot wrought iron bars, then use molds to shape them into cylinders, and then cut them into sections. Then Bryant and several outstanding blacksmiths beat the wrought iron bars into round cakes in the molds, and finally Use special tools to punch the ring in another mold. The inner ring or outer ring blank of a bearing is ready, and then it is taken to a hydraulic lathe to process the groove.
On the other side, the thin wrought iron bar is also cut into sections after forging, and is placed between two molds while hot to form beads. At this time, the beads have one edge, and some are not too thick. Afterwards, just take it to the millstone driven by the waterwheel and roll it into a round shape.
Frederick watched for a while, and then All Might was notified and hurried over.
The master asked about the recent bearing production situation and then asked: "Yesterday you said that the golem puppet can be put on a layer of human-like skin? Can you tell me how it is done?"
Last night Psyche said that All Might said something that interested him. Frederick thought for a long time, and all he could think of was the artificial skin of the artificial puppet.
He had a feeling that this material was what he needed.
“This is simple.” All Might said easily, “Just chop up the crystal slime, remove the internal organs, put the meat in the pot, add some water to cover it, cover it, and apply some wet mud. Seal it and simmer for a while until the water vapor breaks open the lid, and a batter-like paste will appear in the pot."
"Pull out the paste, put it in the pot and cook it until the water dries up, until it looks like snot. It’s fine when it’s still sticky, and when it cools it becomes soft like skin.”
“To make the skin of the golem, you just need to heat it in a pot, add some dye, and pour it into the mold. Just let it cool down.”
“This kind of glue is not afraid of water. You see, I also put a layer on the boots so that I don’t have to worry about getting my feet wet when walking in the rain. The cloak is also waterproof with a layer of it. ”
As he spoke, he bent his toes and pointed at the shoes on his feet.
Frederick was so surprised that his mouth opened. Can this thing replace rubber or plastic? !
"Where can I find this kind of glue now?" He said hurriedly, "Quick, show me!"
Seeing how excited he was, Ogilvy felt a move in his heart and bent down. He asked in a voice: "Principal, is this very profitable?"
Nowadays, scholars at Weisenberg University are suffering from the problem of "looking at money", and he is naturally no exception.
Frederick nodded slightly.
“Let’s go!” Ogilvy immediately became excited when he heard that he could make money, “BASF is boiling glue over there.”
As soon as he finished speaking, “Bang” came from the other side of the blacksmith shop. "A loud noise.
BASF is a student of Ogilvy and Mather. He was in his early twenties. Many years ago, he stepped on a slime while walking at night and slipped and fell into the river. He became the laughing stock of the school. Since then, his hobby has been doing tricks. Toss the slime.
Frederick came to the other side of the blacksmith shop. There was a long row of sheds built along the wall, with tables, chairs and stoves. They were places for cooking and eating. Now they are used to cook history. Lyme.
The minced transparent slime was put in a cloth bag by BASF and cooked. When the lid of the local pressure cooker flew away, a lot of water splashed out. The slime meat residue and paste remained in the bag. You can just squeeze it. Squeeze out the slime.
Frederick narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that many people have done boiling slime and burning slime, but this has never happened. It is probably because the temperature exceeds the boiling point of water. and an ingredient reacts with water when pressure increases.
BASF said hello to the principal and then continued the work at hand.
The remaining water in the pot was poured into the grass outside the shed. The slime was squeezed into the pot, and the meat residue was thrown into the grass. The slime quickly boiled out in the pot and gradually turned into slime. glue.
There are several cloaks hanging on the wall. I don’t know who they belong to. BASF used a brush to apply the hot slime glue in the pot to the cloaks. After cooling, a waterproof film was formed.
Frederick thought for a while, found an iron plate, and asked BASF to apply a layer of slime glue on it, and then peeled it off after cooling.
This piece of slime glue is about 1 mm thick, transparent and colorless. It can be pinched and pulled. It has good strength but not much elasticity.
“Isn’t the elasticity not right?” Frederick asked, “Isn’t it a bit hard to make skin?”
Omett immediately replied: “You need to add more water when making skin. Some pigments will change slightly during the process. "BASF also said: "With the addition of different pigments or materials, these glues will become softer, harder or elastic."
Frederick said "Oh" and continued to pull the slime glue on his hand. It took some effort to break it.
"Is it poisonous?" He asked the question he was most concerned about.
“It’s not poisonous.” BASF replied with a smile. “I once took off a small piece from a cold pot and threw it on the ground. A dog ate it and it couldn’t figure out how to get in.”
"Can it burn?" Frederick asked again.
At this moment, he was stunned, smiled awkwardly, and threw a small piece of slime glue into the fire on the stove.
The slime glue melted immediately when it fell on the firewood, and a large number of bubbles appeared immediately. It seemed to be boiling, but no flame appeared.
Frederick put the firewood clamp on the fire to heat, then folded the remaining piece of slime glue in his hand, and clamped it with the hot clamp.
The high temperature on the clip causes the slime glue to melt. After cooling, it solidifies, and the upper and lower pieces are fused together where the clip holds them.
Pull hard and it will be tight.
Frederick nodded, sat down on the blacksmith's chair, and began to think about how to use this material.
If slime glue can meet the requirements, rain gear, water shoes, tents, plastic bags and soft packaging cans can all be produced, and even the childcare artifact-coat hanger is not a problem.
If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools.
If nothing else, at least this traditional pressure cooker needs to be replaced.
Producing a serious pressure cooker is not a big problem. The prerequisite skill is the relationship between air pressure and boiling point.
The sealing between the lid and the pot was originally a problem, but now it seems that slime glue can be used as a sealing ring, so this problem is no longer a big problem.
When Frederick came back to his senses, he found that Omet and Basf had placed parchment, quills, ink bottles and drawing tools on the table, waiting for him to once again create "the house of gold in the parchment" A miracle.
“BASF.”
“Here!”
Frederick just called his name, and BASF stood up straight like a soldier and answered.
“Make me one copy of each kind of slime glue.” Frederick arranged the work, “The sooner the better.”
BASF immediately replied: "Yes!"
Omet said to Frederick with a smile: "He originally planned to get married, but now he is worried about having no money. Naturally, he will not miss something that can make money. "
Frederick also laughed and said: "Knowledge is gold coins."
Then he began to draw pictures on the parchment.
The body and lid of the pressure cooker are not difficult to make. They can be cast and forged before they are ready for use.
There are two ear buckles on the pot body. When working, buckle the cross beam on the pot lid. Rotate the screw in the middle of the cross beam to push the pot lid down. There is a slime sealing ring between the pot lid and the pot body. The rows on the pot lid The air valve, weight and safety valve are not a big problem either.
Then Frederick once again focused on thread processing of the screw.
