Chapter 116 116 Is this immovable pulley?

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Wu Bai quickly went up to support the back of the wheelchair. The wheelchair had already been lifted up. If he fell down at this time, Gu Jiuchen might be injured.

Song Nanyi also pursed her lips. She remembered that on the first day, four or five eunuchs brought Gu Jiuchen over.There are only two soldiers now, and I still need to bring a wheelchair, can I move it?

The two soldiers had no choice but to bite the bullet, and first pushed the wheelchair to the stairs on the first floor, and then they counted to each other to three, planning to lift Gu Jiuchen up the steps with all their might.

However, it was far from what they had expected. As soon as it was lifted up, the wheelchair body wobbled and was about to fall down.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Wu Bai quickly went up to support the back of the wheelchair. The wheelchair had already been lifted up. If he fell down at this time, Gu Jiuchen might be injured.

Song Nanyi didn't dare to walk too fast, she went up a few steps, and when she reached a level floor, she turned around and waited for them.

Looking at this time-consuming and labor-intensive method, she thought to herself that it would be better to open an opening from the sixth floor and lower a bundle of thick ropes to hoist Gu Jiuchen up together with the wheelchair.

Not long after she thought about this method, two soldiers had already lifted Gu Jiuchen up to the second level.

Afterwards, Song Nanyi thought they were going to take a rest before lifting, but the two soldiers directly pushed the person to another place, and behind a secret door, a smooth wooden slope appeared in front of everyone.

There is a stake-like thing fixed every few meters on the slope, as if it is used to fix something.

And the wooden posts are wrapped with several bundles of hemp rope, and the hemp rope is wrapped around each wooden post, forming a circular shape.

This is just like a basic version of the sliding pulley. Someone pulls the rope in front, and the wheelchair can be pulled up.

Such a design is really good, if not for this, Song Nanyi almost thought that every step of the six-story building was lifted up.

"If I had said there was such a way earlier, I would have died of exhaustion."

Wu Bai coughed dryly. He was so exhausted just propping up on the back of the wheelchair. He even wondered for a while whether the two little soldiers carrying the cart in front of him were paddling, putting all the weight on him alone.

"No, this device is only available on the second floor, and this device is not safe, so we don't use it much."

Song Nanyi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why is it not safe?"

When she looked up, she might just get stuck at a few corners. Could there be other unsafe places?

"That is, there is a moving wheel in the center of each slope, and the hemp rope is easy to tie together. If no one is watching, the people on the top keep pulling, and they don't know what's going on underneath."

Two little soldiers hooked Gu Jiuchen's wheelchair to the hemp rope in front, preparing to transport Gu Jiuchen to the sixth floor in this way.

Looking at this device, Song Nanyi had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and continued to ask: "Is this device also used in the project of Wanfo Temple?"

She couldn't be sure, but in modern records, she has seen similar installation models through paper paintings.

It's just that I didn't think of the device similar to the movable pulley at the beginning, I just thought it was a splicing wooden tenon that would be used in engineering construction.

"Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple? We are not very clear about this, but generally large-scale projects will have this device, and it will be dismantled after the construction of the building is completed. The Library Pavilion has not been dismantled, but this device has been hidden in the secret passage."
