Cement plant (17)

At this point, the knight pushed the opening of the hub of the steel turbine blade onto the surface of the round steel slowly by slowly.

This needed one to be patient and precise.

Pushing the steel turbine blade on to the round steel was not hard as compared to lifting this steel turbine blade upwards, though, it was with the use of the pulley that lifted the steel turbine blade upward. And it was also the pulley that was holding this steel turbine blade in place.

Painstakingly, the knight managed to insert the hanging end of the round steel into the opening of the hub.

However, he could not push the steel turbine blade forward anymore as there was no anywhere else that he could stand on because the platform of the stand was not continuous, thus, the other knights had to push the portable stand together with the pulley forward so that the knight on top of the stand could continue to push the steel turbine blade forward and just like that, the steel turbine blade reached where it was supposed to be and then the knight unwrapped the hook of the pulley from it.

The bolts and nuts were lifted up and the knights took this chance to fasten the hub of the steel turbine blade onto the designated holes of the round steel. 

One should know that the hub of the steel turbine blade was special in itself. Its most inner part was gaped so that it could fit onto the round steel which was its axle and it was this inner part which was like an elongated pipe with holes on its end where nuts would be used to fasten the hub onto the round steel. 

The middle part of the hub, held the bearing casing and the bearings themselves, the upper casing of the bearings which was the bearing cap, was the one that was connected to the hub shell of the steel turbine blade. 

The hub shell was a part of the disk of the steel turbine blade and one could not separate them. Furthermore, the hub shell was slightly elongated on both sides into a pipe which had teethed end so that it could fit on to other hub shells of other steel turbine blades. 

 On the other hand, the disk was dominated with ASME flanges that had holes for fastening the blades to make the entire steel turbine blade. One should know that this disk was 1 metres long to enable a large surface area for the domination of the flanges.

And just like how the knight did with the first steel turbine blade, he also had to connect the other two steel turbine blades onto the round steel.

However, it could be noted that it was only the first two steel turbine blades that had an elongated pipe-like hub shell with teethed end so that they could firmed together but the last steel turbine blade to be fixed only had an elongated pipe-like hub on one side where it would connect with its neighboring steel turbine blade but on the other side, the pipe-like elongated hub shell didn't end with a teeth, instead, it was fixed with a plate flange which would enable the connection of the sprocket.

"What are they making? Is it some kind of a weapon that our kingdom doesn't know" the assassin who had hid himself was puzzled by what the knights were doing. The huge thing that they had installed looked so menacing especially with the blades all around it. The assassin was sure that if this thing was let down from the top of the hill, it could roll and grind the people downhill into meat jerkies.
