The Three Kingdoms began with self-reliance as king

Chapter 103 Could It Be Broken? (Thanks to "A Daxiao" for the monthly pass)

In this Three Kingdoms period, war horses were a very scarce support.

It's not something you can buy with money.

Zhang Fei deliberately blocked the way and snatched more than 300 horses from Lu Bu, and the two families immediately turned to each other, which is enough to explain one or two.

Liu Yi was very excited to get the design drawing of the horseshoe.

He's in no rush to build a horseshoe, though.

Anyway, the design drawings are in your hands and you can create them at any time.

What he has to do now is to try to draw the design of the waterwheel.

As a science student, I have seen many design drawings.

There is also an impression of the waterwheel in my mind.

He doesn't need to imagine it out of thin air, so the difficulty will be relatively low.

He locked himself in the study.

He forgot to sleep and eat, worked hard, and kept looking at the water wheel diagram he designed.

The painting was changed, and the painting was changed.

period.

He even invited some craftsmen from the city to help him.

Distressed people, God does not give up.

After several efforts by everyone, it took countless efforts of everyone.

Liu Yi finally got a design drawing of the waterwheel that he was relatively satisfied with.

He has to feel that the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated. He just described the impression of the waterwheel in his mind.

And mention the relevant principles of waterwheel operation, the function and role of each part.

These skilled craftsmen can figure out the corresponding steps according to his intentions and help him perfect the deficiencies in the design drawings.

It can be said that the blueprint in his hand is very different from the waterwheel he saw in later generations.

With the drawings, Liu Yi immediately couldn't sit still.

He immediately summoned the most famous craftsmen in the city.

Pass on the design drawing of the waterwheel to everyone to have a look at it one by one.

Although some craftsmen did not participate in the production of design drawings.

But they are all smart people, and carefully checked the design drawing of the waterwheel given by Liu Yi.

Think for a moment.

The pupils dilated suddenly.

If the waterwheel in Liu Yi's design drawing can be manufactured.

It must be a stunning work that benefits all people and has been handed down through the ages.

After Liu Yi saw that everyone had looked at it, he further explained:

"This thing is a water turning dump truck, which is a chain-driven scraper-type continuous water-lifting machine.

As long as the wooden body is inclined to the river, the lower sprocket and a part of the body are submerged in the water.

When the sprocket is driven, the vane wipes water along the groove and rises to the upper end of the long groove to continuously send water out.

It does not need manpower to rotate, but it can deliver water and irrigate day and night by itself..."

With Liu Yi's explanation, everyone quickly understood the working principle of the waterwheel.

Everyone admired Liu Yi's fantastic ideas.

Once this magical waterwheel comes out, it will be able to make full use of water power and liberate people from manpower supplying water.

Greatly improve irrigation efficiency and water resource utilization.

It is a major improvement on irrigation machinery.

It will definitely leave a strong mark in the history of agriculture.

After the working principle is understood, the rest will not be a problem for this group of experienced craftsmen.

"When you build the waterwheel, just dig a ditch on the bank and set the waterwheel in it.

The gears will drive the overturned car in the ditch and transport the water to the shore..."

Everyone listened carefully to Liu Yi's explanation.

The understanding of the water-turning car is further deepened.

After listening to Liu Yi's explanation.

A slightly younger craftsman among the craftsmen, after a while of thinking, found that there was a problem.

His surname is Lu and his name is Ziming. He loves to study various objects on weekdays.

Carpentry, masonry, etc. have dabbled.

He pointed to the blueprint and said:

"The general uses the flow and drop of water as power, which is really a fantastic idea.

As long as there is a large drop in the water flow, even if the flow is not large, the water potential can be used to transport water.

The disadvantage is that once the water potential is too strong, it is easy to break the bone plate and affect the use of the waterwheel.

The selection of materials may be a difficult problem. "

When Liu Yi saw that someone pointed out the inadequacy of the waterwheel design, instead of being annoyed, he was very happy.

After a little thought, he realized that the problem pointed out by the young man in front of him could be described as sharp and far-sighted.

He actually thought of many problems that experienced craftsmen did not think of.

"My idea is indeed not mature enough, and I need everyone to help me correct it.

What opinions and suggestions do you have, although you can speak freely without being rigid. "

Liu Yi encouraged everyone to express their opinions and not to care about his identity.

He knows that only when the mind is inclusive, can a hundred flowers bloom.

If they are all in one word, then it will definitely be difficult to accomplish anything.

Seeing Liu Yi asking for advice with such an open mind, he has no airs.

Gradually.

The craftsmen became more and more bold when discussing and communicating.

"Zi Ming's words are reasonable. The waterwheel is huge, and the materials used for each part are very important."

"In order to prolong the life of the waterwheel, the core components must be refined with copper and iron."

"Let's think about how to reduce costs and avoid wasting human and financial resources..."

For the problems raised by individuals, everyone will fully discuss and come up with the most appropriate solutions.

During the period, someone asked about waterwheel technology, what if it was learned by outsiders?
Liu Yi said very freely that it's okay.

His original intention of making the waterwheel was to liberate manpower and benefit the common people.

Since it is a good thing that benefits the country and the people, others should learn it if they want to.

Being poor cares themselves, being wealthy cares the world.

This is his truest thought.

The craftsmen present admired Liu Yi's heart for the world.

The more the merrier.

Under the discussion of gathering many outstanding craftsmen from the whole city.

Soon, a complete and implementable plan will be finalized.

Under the supervision of Liu Yi.

The craftsmen acted quickly according to their assigned tasks.

Build the parts in the sketch one after another at the fastest speed.

Only the core remains unassembled.

Everything is ready.

The craftsmen transported the parts to the river one after another with anticipation and apprehension.

Before Liu Yi and others arrived.

At this time on both sides of the river.

People follow the crowd.

Looking around, people's heads are surging, shoulders rubbing against each other.

Whether they are soldiers or ordinary people, everyone is very interested in this new gadget called a water-turning car.

In the eager waiting of everyone.

Not far from the river's entrance to the water.

Dozens of burly soldiers held thick hemp ropes in their hands, mustered all their strength, and erected a huge circular wooden frame with a radius of several feet.

This huge circular wooden frame is shaped like a carriage wheel, making it impossible to see its function at a glance.

The vast number of soldiers and civilians still stretched their necks to look at them.

What catches the eye are two teams of soldiers, pulling the ropes and marching towards the depths of the river in a uniform manner.

It was not until the water was deeper than the abdomen that the boat was used to pull it.

With the concerted efforts of all.

Finally, this huge round wooden frame like a big wheel was fixed deep in the river.

this moment.

All craftsmen, including Liu Yi, are full of infinite hopes for this big guy.

The soldiers and civilians who didn't understand the working principle of the waterwheel looked at the huge circular wooden frame in the middle of the water with bewildered faces.

Why has this guy not responded for a long time?
Could it be broken?
