KNIGHTS OF LAZARD(Rise with dark hour)

General sciences.

At the first stage, Wengen pointed outside where the farmers had already started harvesting the crops. Using a laser blade sickle, ten to twelve men sliced off the crops branches, letting them fall as a sleepy heads lying on the floor.

 “Our harvesting begins this way Knights,” explained Wengen their process, “Once we are done with the slicing, we use the manual way to separate substance from the crop. The machine then completes the last stage.” He directed them out of the factory. Turning right into a large empty area where four men were waiting in front of a large hard surface made out of cement and solid hard. Here the stalks were piling up on each other in the sides by the helpers, carrying the harvested the crops and bringing it into this area. This place was preparing for Threshing. As they stood in the side for watching, Wengen explained them the process of Threshing.

Threshing is a process of separating wheat grains from the stalk after the harvesting of the crops. In this, the harvested wheat is either beaten on a hard surface to lose the chaff from the grain or sometimes by using mechanical Threshing. “However, we prefer using hand methods,” added Wengen with a smile, “because it clears our work better than machines. We can understand in a well manner how our work is ongoing.” The Knights were amazed by hearing this. Soon after this sentences wind followed. It was a strong blow that flew the white capes of the all the knights smoothly with the wind. “Ah! It is always in time” grin Wengen as he felt it through his hairs.

“Do you have an agreement with the wind too in your harvesting?” questioned Allison, as he was growing more excited than all.

“Yes, it is” nodded the leader, noticing the interest in this youth. Truly, his victory was getting shared. “Follow me...” he directed the knights further as the men were still doing threshing. Some men were clearing the ground using plates, carrying the golden seeds off the ground and adding them inside sacks made out of cloth, tied them with stings and loaded them into small carts.

Following the same direction of Wengen, they came through a turn, to a place where huts were built, tables were arranged on the sides, shades for tools of farming and stands were made. This location was built direct behind the wheat factory. As sacks were brought into this area, they got off load from the carts, opened up and spread all over the floor. Wengen named this process Winnowing. He said. “We will separate the wheat from its covering or useless pieces. It’s our second stage and the most important one of all.”

“It’s amazing. Can’t wait to see it happening?” exclaimed Kamran as it was obvious that he was too enjoying the process of harvesting just like Allison.

 Looks like these youths were turned into little children when they view sometime new for the first time.     

Wengen chuckled at this and turned to the stage. Here, two to three men came up with a steel tray and began their work.

Winnowing is the process of separating the grains from the chaff. It is based on the principle that if one of the components of the mixture is very light in weight then it can be separated from the other constituents of the mixture by blowing it away. In this, the threshed gain is placed on a tray and is allowed to fall from a height. The lighter chaff is blown away with the wind while the heavier grain falls straight down and gets separated. That’s how the second stage was on-going.

It filled Allison in wonders to see how easily the chaff was blown away without any given instructions. The wind of nature, no matter the temperature was appearing as thou, it was the lead to the separation. “How they are doing it! Amazing!” exclaimed Allison in excitement as he pounced; front gawking at the process as the farmers was proceeding at their work. All smiled by his childish act but, no one could interrupt his enjoyment.

Wengen said stepping front, “Here is the last process” he pointed towards the stand shooting all sights at that direction. There sieves were hang on the stand. Six men stepped in, taking the sieves. They picked up the clear gains that were separated from the light substances and shake it hard like a drilling machine. The picked out stones, wood pieces and trashes from the wheat, not to mention even nails were involved among them.

“What are they doing, sir?” questioned Haku to the leader.

“That’s the last step of cleaning our grains” explained Wengen, “It’s called Hand-picking”

This process went by removing undesirable substance from the gains by picking them up and separating them from the rest. This method is usually used when the substances need to be separated is much bigger than the rest or differs on the basics of it’s shape, size and color or is present in a small quanitity in the mixture. This method is used to separate stones from grains. Once they obtained clear grains of wheat on their large sieves, they added them back in the sacks and packed it, loading it into the factory.

“Now, that we have cleared up the grains, let’s take out our floor!” cheered Wengen.

 “YEAH!” shouted Kamran and Allison punching the air in excitement while the rest only laughed at this.

Moving back inside the factory, the farmers emptied the large sacks of golden wheat into a large bowl of container of the machine. These grains were lifted up, pouring it inside a large drainer. The drainer was deep dark large in size that 110 sacks easily fit in. At this point, Wengen head to work. He took a permission to leave and went to the control panel, not to mention Allison ran behind him to watch him doing his work. In the control panel, he pressed some switches and held on a rotating meter with pressing the button ON. Soon, the whole machine was vibrating without a single BANG of noise, “These grains will crush inside that drainer turning them into sand’ he explained Allison. His voice as clear heard as a close person to each other no disturbance of the machine. It was large silent mixture that did not even cause a deafening to a close by, gifted to Wengen by the Lazard.

While the other Knights were watching in the side at the huge machine suddenly, Tayoma got a call and he left out to reseve it. “It looks like we are getting late in returning” said Dan looking at the other and they agreed. They all recognized who will be the caller in the that ring….
