"This should be called a pulley." Su Tang saw Luo Xingchen ask and thought for a moment before coming up with a term that she thought was more appropriate.
Luo Xingchen was still very confused. "So you mean to use this to lift the tomatoes and peppers up. Why bother with this? Couldn't it be better to have people climb up?"
Luo Xingchen is a native of this era. In such a feudal society, slaves are very common. In Luo Xingchen's concept, there is actually no such thing as labor saving, because some people live by working hard, and as a superior master, he only needs Just tell your servants to do things.
But Su Tang is a modern person, and she will adapt to this era. For example, to keep things secret, she will buy people to use them. But if it is not necessary, she will definitely not treat slaves like animals.
Although there is no such thing as equality and respect, to be honest, if you live in an era and do things against the rules of the era, you either really have the ability to go against the flow and become a pioneer, or you will just be overwhelmed by the rules.
Su Tang doesn't want to be a pioneer. It sounds awesome to have a famous name in history, but for a person's life, it may be very hard. She just wants to enjoy life and is not prepared to suffer.
Therefore, she will not promote the concept of equality for all, because the experience of being a social animal in modern society tells her that even in modern times where everyone is equal, there has never been equality.
The word equality, to a certain extent, is just a dreamy and unrealistic word.
But Su Tang will not treat people as human beings and kill them at every turn, so when she builds a processing workshop, she will consider some more humane things, and at the same time, she will naturally use tools instead of manpower.
For example, if the previous meat grinder had not been invented by Sutang, many people would have to manually chop the sauce to make it. To be honest, forget about tomatoes. Chopping peppers is really painful.
Now, in addition to the manual meat grinder, Su Tang has another strange structure, which is also what Luo Xingchen is puzzled about. Su Tang calls it a pulley.
"What we want to do now is a larger meat grinder, and then use the water wheel on the river as power. When the river water flows, it drives the water wheel, and then the meat grinder is motorized. This is no problem.
But don’t forget, the meat grinders we made before were very small and could only be used to crush meat fillings. Now ours is a large meat grinder, used to crush tomatoes and peppers.
But you can’t forget that just because we only smash tomatoes and peppers, its original name is a meat grinder! "
Su Tang explained this matter to Luo Xingchen, directly naming the thing they made. Don't use bean bags as dry food. This thing is called a meat grinder.
"The water flow in the river is not slow, so it can easily move the meat grinder. You said that there is no problem if someone climbs up with tomatoes and grinds them inside. But let me ask you, what happens if someone falls in by themselves? as a result of?"
After Su Tang finished speaking, Luo Xingchen still seemed to understand. Then Su Tang further explained that there was such a large amount of water power, a sharp rotating blade, and a funnel as tall as one person.
When told to spin, if a person falls, he will be completely reduced to mincemeat, but it is certain that a whole corpse will not be left behind.
