So in the atmosphere of unity, it only took everyone three days for the sugarcane harvester to be clucked out.

These science and engineering professionals have proven their strength and have lived up to expectations.

Of course, it is not surprising that under the conditions of simplicity, these three so-called sugarcane harvesters are quite unusual.

Four Trolleys – These are shopping trolleys from supermarket supplies, but with four larger wheels, they've been transformed to resemble old-world electric lawn mowers.

In contrast to the more complex powertrain, two human-powered tricycles were screwed together tail-to-tail to form an elongated vehicle-mounted platform at the sugarcane field, each with a 20-kilowatt Stirling engine and a generator, while the burning lignite was driving the cylinders of the Stirling engine.

The pulley of the engine is sleeved on the pulley of the generator, and through the transformer, several cables are dragged out of the platform, which are connected to the electric motors of four trolley harvesters, each trolley harvester is operated by two people, close the electric switch, the motor whines, and the two sets of three-bladed blades extending to the left and right sides also rotate rapidly, and the trolley pushes all the way forward, and the sharp blades rotate like mowing grass to cut off the passing sugar cane from the roots.

The two men pushed all the way down, and the two rows of sugarcanes in the vicinity fell in unison, and the other two people who followed were responsible for loading the lodging sugarcane onto the rickshaw next to them.

The cable dragged behind the harvester is about 50 meters long, and when the four harvesters go all the way down to reach the length of the cable, the people behind push the vehicle-mounted platform forward for 30 or 40 meters, so they harvest all the way and load the truck, the harvesting efficiency is really greatly improved, and most importantly, the whole operation is not so tiring.

In fact, the power system of this harvester can be made more simple, as long as the diesel engine of the tractor is used to drive the generator, but this plan has not been adopted by professionals, the main reason is the oil problem.

According to Boss Luo, unless Mr. Zhao and their coal and coke chemical industry get the oil out in the future, all power equipment should be based on not consuming the existing oil as the bottom line, after all, without fuel, these construction machinery will all become scrap iron!

Therefore, saving fuel is the bottom line that cannot be broken.

Because the Stirling engine eats "miscellaneous grains", coal, lignite and even chop wood when necessary, so in this time and space, this is a very local power engine, for the sustainable development of the future, the power system is more complicated is worth the price......

In any case, with such a simple harvesting machine, the work efficiency has been greatly improved, a total of only 20 people, with the operation of four machines go hand in hand, it only took two days to harvest all the 20 acres of sugarcane, the key is that the labor intensity is not too large, but also safe.

Since a lot of labor is saved here, the harvest is continuous, and the whole side can go into battle to carry out seedling planting operations.

Under the guidance of Lao Wang, everyone cut the sugarcane into one by one, and then lay it flat on the pre-made ground, and then bury the soil a little, so the two sides started at the same time, and the sugarcane of forty acres of land was planted quickly.

Of course, in the past two days, everyone has also eaten fresh sugarcane, which has a high sugar content and tastes very sweet, especially the children, who have blood bubbles on their mouths......

Soon to the end of March, 80 acres of sugar beet and sugarcane fields were not only planted, but also a series of work such as water diversion irrigation and organic fertilizer application were also completed.

So Lao Wang took everyone to the sisal field to plant cassava.

This time it can only be a kitchen knife machete, everyone cut down the cassava in the vegetable garden, and then cut it into one by one, everyone followed Lao Wang's demonstration, and cut these cassava diagonally into the soil that had been loosened in advance.

Cassava is a crop with a high starch content, which not only fills the stomach, but is also a raw material for industry and medicine, and doctors, including Lao Wang and Mr. Zhao, are full of longing for this crop, because they want to try to use cassava flour as raw material to produce glucose and maltose, and even want to use tapioca flour to produce monosodium glutamate.

Of course, there is definitely no such condition at the moment, mainly because there is no time to do this, but they all said that they will get these things out in the near future.

So the happiest thing after the cassava harvest is Lao Zhu, because cassava, whether it is roots or leaves, is a very good feed for a little processing, so Lao Zhu announced that he wants to expand the scale of the farm, because with these feeds, the yield of livestock and poultry will be greatly improved, and the growth cycle will be shortened, and more eggs and milk can be obtained.

However, cassava was the first to go to everyone's table, because there was a ready-made electric mill in the kitchen, and Sun Lao used these cassava to make a lot of cassava flour, so the long-lost vermicelli appeared on everyone's table.

Although it seems that this kind of vermicelli is gray and inconspicuous, Sun Lao uses chili sauce and vinegar as a seasoning to make hot and sour noodles, which are smooth and refreshing to eat, and are very popular with everyone, especially the ladies, who even go to the kitchen to add supper at night, mainly for this hot and sour noodles......

In addition, Lao Wang also planned to use cassava flour and sweet potatoes to make wine, and later everyone heard that Master Wang had tried to brew it on a small scale in the vegetable garden, so it attracted many people to go to the vegetable garden in their spare time, and Lao Wang also took out the newly brewed wine from time to time for everyone to taste, as for the taste, no one said anything bad, but at the beginning, all the people who tasted it did not drink it a second time.

Probably because Lao Wang has never drunk alcohol in his life, a person who doesn't drink a drop of alcohol has no concept of the quality of wine, even if it tastes weird, he can't taste it.

It seems that Lao Wang's first attempt to make wine has failed, but probably to encourage Lao Wang to continue to make wine for everyone, all those who have drunk new wine still praise Wang Lao's winemaking work, have said that the first time to make wine can do this degree, that is quite a fork, I believe that it will be more successful in the future, Wang Lao is worthy of our professional Yunyun.

After all, Lao Wang is a person who has come over, he knows that people who are usually overworked are eager for wine, especially spirits, and now the tobacco and alcohol in the supermarket materials are already scarce materials, and the supply has almost been cut off, and it is impossible to meet everyone's needs.

Lao Wang said that once this wine is produced on a large scale, it can not only satisfy everyone's appetite, but also become a trade product with best-selling potential.

Inspired by this, Lao Zhu also suggested at a regular meeting of the General Affairs Coordination Committee that the tomatoes, cucumbers and strawberries in your vegetable garden are not only fruits and vegetables on the daily table, but also can be used as drinks! Especially in the near future, after we have white sugar.

Gu Jin, who was present, was very interested, and he solemnly suggested that if he could make a drink for sailors, as long as it tasted good, it would definitely be sold overseas as a commodity, because this drink could obviously prevent the common scurvy of seafarers in this era, not only in the market, but also in our crew.

So a few old guys really put a lot of effort into this area, and soon after, they really achieved good results, of course, this is also a later story.

In short, the time came to the beginning of April 1656, everyone fought in the field for two months, and finally finished all the farm work, looking at the neat ground and the seedlings, everyone was really relieved, many people joked that now with Lao Wang planted all kinds of crops, he can call himself an agricultural expert......
