Starting from the Western Han Dynasty

Chapter 183 Sima Qian: Who is the real inventor? (Ask for various kinds of chapters in the [-]-word chapter)
"Huainan King Liu An has written six times in total, requesting you to be the Prime Minister of Huainan Kingdom. His Majesty has refused six times in total. All the courtiers believe that the seventh time is coming soon."

Gongsun Ao, who came from Chang'an City, was drinking wine and eating meat, and said loudly: "Old Li, I'm so frustrated. Chang'an has been so frustrated since you left. Your Majesty seems to be holding back a fire with nowhere to vent it." Likewise, Li Guang, a loyal old dog, was directly demoted to a commoner."

As the initiator of all this, Li Huan just kept pouring wine for Gongsun Ao and asked again: "What next?"

"Then I also lost my official position." Gongsun Ao was very depressed: "I don't know what happened. I was training the army well, but who knew that my fodder yard caught fire and burned a lot of fodder? Your Majesty After learning about it, he called me over and scolded me like a bloody bitch!"

"Huh huh huh..." Gongsun Ao, who was in a depressed mood, raised his head to drink wine, and his whole body was like a wine vat that was not full.

Gongsun Ao gritted his teeth: "That bitch Zhang Tang just said a lot of slander about me. What else did he say? In the previous battles in Henan and Gaoque, I was able to make meritorious deeds all because of you. It’s cheap, and it’s said that the army under my hands can’t even guard a forage yard, so can you expect me to do anything great?”

"I see Your Majesty, he got angry after scolding me. It was Zhang Tang, a bitch, who fanned the flames and made moves, which further aroused Your Majesty's anger. I am now a damn commoner. "

Li Huan also picked up the wine bowl a little depressed and took a sip by himself. Although he asked the emperor for Gongsun Ao and Li Guang as his generals to manage the Huainan Kingdom, he didn't expect that the emperor Liu Che would be so cruel!
Li Guang was demoted to a commoner before, but this time he entered the palace for the second time... Gongsun Ao?Well, so does he...

"Then why was Li Guang devalued as a commoner?"

"Li Guang deserves it more or less for this matter." Gongsun Ao put down the wine bowl, filled it for himself, and then filled it for Li Huanman: "This old guy, when we first led the troops to the expedition, Lao Wei fought well, and Li Guang even escaped after being captured alive. After he was demoted to a commoner, he went hunting in Lantian. When he came back late, the captain of the city gate refused to open the door for him. I just hold a grudge. Who is to blame? This is not the law of our Han Dynasty.

He also had the nerve to say that he was the former General Li, and the captain was also a second-rate man. It would not be good for someone to shout about the current General Li, because your mother is still the predecessor!Later, His Majesty re-recruited Li Guang as a general. Just before we led the troops to fight last time, Han Anguo committed suicide, and the entire defense line in the north was under the control of Li Guang. This guy is good, so let the captain When the conscripts were transferred to his account, they were cut off at random for any excuse. Zhang Tang and the others just stared at this matter and refused to let go. Li Guang, who could have balanced his merits and demerits and remained in his position, suddenly reprimanded him as a commoner. ! "

"This matter..." Li Huan touched his nose. He felt that Li Guang and Gongsun Ao were not wronged. Little things.

Li Guang is also a veteran in the army, but if he knows a little bit about people and the world, he wouldn't be able to kill the lieutenant directly. The Hun cavalry charged head-on into battle, and their immortality was a legend.

Li Guangfei wanted to use the most direct method to kill the captain, which was really not unfair; this had nothing to do with him falling in love with him and wanting to drag him to the Huainan Kingdom to work at the grassroots level.

Li Huan's self-comfort had an instant effect. The original guilt in his heart was instantly swept away by the breeze, and he could immediately accommodate ten or eight chicks singing in the Goulan without being too crowded.

"Then are you going to Huainan Country?"

"Don't go."

"Really not going?"

"If I really go, how could His Majesty refuse King Huainan six times?"

Li Huan plans to keep this matter to himself, which is very good. Everyone who knows about it is a participant, so their mouths will be tighter than the dead.

"Oh, I was still thinking that if you go to Huainan, I will grab Li Guang and go there with you..." Gongsun Ao felt disappointed and depressed again, holding the wine and trying to drink it again.

Li Huan held his hand: "Do you really want to go to Huainan Country?"

"It's no good if I don't go. There's nothing I can do here. Zhang Tang, this mad dog, keeps staring at me and biting me to death. Maybe it would be better to go to the Huainan Congress?" Gongsun Ao said, his eyes became ambiguous. Get up: "Lao Li, are we brothers?"

"That's not true, a half-brother!" Li Huan picked up the wine bowl and touched Gongsun Ao heavily: "If you have any good ideas, tell my good brother!"

A flash of shame flashed deep in Gongsun Ao's eyes: "Then you have really arrived in Huainan Kingdom and become the Prime Minister, can you arrange a position for me as a general?"

"Of course!" Li Huan raised his head and drank the strong wine, grinning: "But if King Huainan doesn't agree, there's nothing I can do about it."

"I have a solution!" Gongsun Ao was moved immediately.

"What can you do?"

Gongsun Ao spread his hands: "Look, King Huainan, an old bastard, doesn't want you to be his prime minister. He has already written to Your Majesty six times and was rejected six times. What does this mean? At the beginning, He really wants you to be the prime minister, but later on, it’s not about whether he wants you to be the prime minister or not, it’s a matter of people competing for one’s breath!

Therefore, not only the ministers think that he will be listed for the seventh time soon, but I also think so. If at this time, as your brother, I let people find the King of Huainan and say that I can help him, But I have to ask him to give me the post of general. If you were the King of Huainan, would you give it to me? "

Li Huan immediately heard the smell. No wonder you, Gongsun Ao, drank when you came here. You just wanted to use alcohol to numb yourself!
He really almost asked Gongsun Ao directly, how much did you charge Liu Ling?That's why you thought of me, your half-brother?

"How about it? Lao Li? Don't you think it's possible?"

"I think it can be done!" Li Huan nodded: "But I feel like your words alone don't hold enough weight. How about asking Li Guang? After all, Li Guang's son is also my disciple..."

"Oh, I forgot about this. Zhang Tang's son is also your disciple. I just said something stupid. If a child hears this, it is really unsightly. We can't do this in the future. Let's drink in the future. Go to Goulan, no matter how you scold me, no one will hear you."

"Well, you just arrived today, take a good rest for a day or two, recharge your spirits, and listen to music on the fence is the attitude you should have in life!" Li Huan grabbed the hip flask, he was worried that Gongsun Ao would drink too much, and he would put the wine on the bottle. Why did Liu Ling deceive him about this secret? It would be too embarrassing to tell him all at once...

If something like that really happened, it would definitely hurt the relationship between himself and his half-brother.

"Okay!" Gongsun Ao seemed to be a little scared in his heart, and worried that if he was not careful, he would tell everything. At that time, where would he put his old face...

Li Huan felt a little secretly happy. Originally, he was the one suffering from inner suffering, but now he was watching others suffering from inner suffering. This feeling of a thief crying out to catch a thief was so satisfying.

"Azi first arrived in Anyang. Why didn't you accompany her for a walk? Why did she come back?" Li Huan looked at Wei Shao'er who was already sitting in the house and couldn't help asking curiously.

Wei Junru and Gongsun Ao came to Anyang County together.

Men sit with men drinking, and women naturally sit with women and chat.

Wei Shaoer sighed helplessly: "Husband, the situation in Chang'an City has changed. Gongsun's brother-in-law has lost his official position. The eldest princess can't even talk to her. How about you recommend Gongsun to a local official after a while?" "

After listening to Wei Shaoer's words, Li Huan understood that Gongsun Ao had not leaked anything about the court affairs to his married couple.

The only thing he is confused about now is whether Gongsun Ao knows that Emperor Liu Che intends for him to go to the Huainan Kingdom to serve as the Prime Minister. Is he an insider or a half-brother who thinks he has taken advantage of him?

Soon, King Huainan's seventh memorial was sent to Emperor Liu Che. Liu Che didn't even look at it and rejected it with a wave of his hand.

Gongsun Ao's servant also took Gongsun Ao's mud-sealed letter and found Liu Ling who was still living in Chang'an City.

Of course, the above two things have already happened in Li Huan's imagination.

However, the princes and kings do have their own palaces in Chang'an City. They cannot live here, but they can have a place to stay when they meet the emperor; or the descendants of the princes and kings, like Liu Ling, come here After arriving in Chang'an City, he stayed here.

Some princes and heirs stayed in Chang'an City as hostages. For example, the son of the King of Nanyue was currently serving as hostages in Chang'an City.

Wei Shao'er looked at Li Huan, who was sitting on the chair with a pensive look on his face, slightly embarrassed: "If you, husband, feel embarrassed..."

"What did you say? Embarrassing?" Li Huan laughed out loud: "I was just thinking, although Gongsun Ao's talent is not at the level of the prime minister or your younger brother, he will not be reduced to being a small official in the local area. to the point, right?”

Wei Shao'er's brows were filled with joy: "So, my husband already has his own ideas?"

"That's true, but not entirely. Brother Gongsun probably has his own ideas. You and I just need to wait quietly and watch what happens."

"Husband, I also heard that my sister brought some news from Chang'an..."

"The affairs of the Huainan State?" Li Huan did not intend to hide many things from Wei Shaoer.

"Is it true that my husband can only go? I heard that King Huainan has written six times, and although His Majesty has refused six times, but..." Wei Shaoer was quite worried: "I heard from my sister that many people are just looking at you, husband. What is your attitude?"

"Where does this depend on my attitude?" Li Huan leaned leisurely on the chair, squinted his eyes, and pondered for a moment: "If His Majesty agrees, then I don't want to go, so I can only go... Huainan Kingdom and the past It's different, Liu Ling has been watching how we develop Anyang County in Anyang County, and when he comes to Huainan Country, he will repeat these things at most."

"Husband, how can being far away from the capital compare to being an official in the court? The prime minister of the princes and kings is not as good as the governor of the same place. Husband, I want..."

Li Huan understood Wei Shaoer's thoughts, and shook his head: "What can the eldest princess say? Brother Gongsun was dismissed as a commoner, and she is useless in front of Your Majesty?"

Wei Shaoer shook his head: "It's all your men's business. I don't want to get involved in it at all, but how can a family like ours tolerate me not to get involved?"

"A family like ours must not be independent in every move now, but now that we have reached such a position, we should consider everything carefully. After all, this is not only about ourselves, but also about the stability of the country. "

Li Huan smiled and gave Wei Shao'er a firm look, but found Cuihua standing at the door of the room with a red face at some point, looking excited and shy, hesitant to speak, alluring and looking a little... funny.

"Why are you blushing? Come in!"

Li Huan waved and felt that the only person who made him worry the most was Cuihua, because she was the stupidest and everyone else was much smarter than her.

It just so happens that Cuihua is the stupidest, so all she thinks about is herself.

Therefore, Li Huan gave Cuihua a very high status. Even though she was not a common wife, but just a concubine, no one in the entire Hou Mansion dared to look down on Cuihua.

"Master...Master!" When Cuihua poured tea for Li Huan, her white and tender little hands were trembling.

Li Huan couldn't help but laugh: "Did you light up the house? Are you shaking like this? Or did you beat the county magistrate to death?"

"Master!" Cuihua called out sweetly, her face suddenly showing unconcealable ecstasy.

Li Huan took her into his arms and teased her chin: "What, you ate bee poop? Are you so happy?"

"My husband is so disgusting..." Wei Shaoer couldn't help but laugh: "But what good news has come from Chang'an?"

Cuihua seemed to be a little afraid and did not dare to look at Wei Shao'er. She just lowered her head, the blush on her face was as red as blood: "Master, I... I seem to be pregnant."

Wei Shao'er's smile froze instantly, and Li Huan also froze for three or two breaths before reaching out and lifting Cuihua's chin with a look of disbelief on his face: "What did you say? Say it again?"

"I..." Cuihua looked at Wei Shao'er beside her in fear, as if she had done something wrong, then turned to look at Li Huan, with a low eyebrow: "Master, Nunu seems to be pregnant."

"Call the doctor right away!" After Li Huan said this, Cuihua immediately got up and called the doctor, but he turned around and glanced at Wei Shao'er, who was still looking dull next to him: "Don't be stunned, go quickly!"

Only then did Wei Shaoer hurry out as if awakened from a dream.

"What are you afraid of?" Li Huan then noticed Cuihua's emotions and held her soft little hand: "Are you worried that if you are not a legitimate wife, you will be found out one day and drowned in a well?"

Cuihua laughed out loud: "Master would never treat the slave family like this. The slave family... The slave family did this. It was indeed a bit rash. You shouldn't have gotten pregnant before my wife!"

At this moment, Li Huan felt bursts of joy in his heart, filling his brain. He carefully picked up Cuihua, a little lolita, and put her flushed face on the chair beside him. He was about to say something to comfort her. If so, Wei Shao'er had already led the hurried doctors to diagnose Cuihua's pulse.

When the doctor faced Li Huan, he was full of pressure. This Marquis had long been known to everyone as a top doctor.

After diagnosing the pulse, the doctor quickly stood up, bowed and said, "Congratulations, Lord Marquis, Xijun is more than one month pregnant!"

"Got it!" Li Huan looked at the green flowers sitting in front of him, his face as red as the morning after the first intimacy, and suddenly felt that he was truly starting to take root in the Han Empire, a world where barbarism and civilization intersected.

Looking at Li Huan's appearance, Young Master Wei knew that from now on, Cuihua's status would only be higher, but she was obviously not the kind of stupid woman who competes for favors. He immediately asked the doctor to go down to collect the reward, and told everyone to come. Receive reward money.

After hearing what Young Master Wei said, the red-faced Cuihua hurriedly stood up: "Madam, I don't dare to be a slave..."

"That's right! This is my husband's first child. In the future, you should not call me your master. Just like me, call me your husband. From now on, your status in the family will be equal to mine..." Wei Shaoer's face was filled with emotion. Joyful: "I will go and select a few suitable maids for you. From now on, I will leave the service to others to others..."

Already reaching the door of the room with brisk steps, Wei Shao'er suddenly stopped: "Yes, let Bai Zhi and Lan Hua come over from Chang'an immediately. My husband is not used to other people..."

Seeing Wei Shaoer like this, Cuihua became more and more frightened, shrank her neck and looked at Li Huan.

Li Huanhua laughed: "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, nothing will happen to you, even the princess... Nangong and Linqiong don't dare to have any evil thoughts after they know about this."

In a big family, it is impossible for everything to be in harmony. Li Huan has a very clear understanding of this. Even his own Anyang Marquis Mansion cannot completely avoid this kind of thing, but he has his own way to do it. Avoid a lot of this.

In Cuihua's mind, Li Huan seemed to be the kind of person who said exactly what he said, and she could not help but gradually relax because of this.

The news that Anyang Hou Xijun was pregnant swept through the streets and alleys of Anyang County like the wind. Even people in the villages outside the city knew about this happy event the next day.

Therefore, Gongsun Ao, who was about to listen to music with Li Huan, had to wait patiently, waiting for Marquis Anyang, who wanted to hold his concubine in his hands and hold her in his mouth, to gradually return to normal from the excitement that he was about to have an heir.

On the third day of this incident, Zhang Qian received an edict, and Emperor Liu Che ordered him to return to Chang'an immediately.

Li Huan felt a little strange, why the person who was called back was not Sima Qian, but Zhang Qian?
After all, almost all the things that Sima Qian should record here have been recorded in the history books, and anyone who reads the records in Sima Qian's history books can make all these things as long as he follows the steps recorded.

Cuihua really had two more careful and considerate maids around her; this made her, who used to be a maid, feel uncomfortable in every aspect, but Li Huan felt very comfortable after seeing this scene.

To this end, he even launched a high-altitude water transport channel that he had previously been unwilling to launch.

As a result, a high-altitude water transport channel with a height of two feet began to extend directly from the source of mountain spring water outside Anyang City to the city.

The construction of various projects in Anyang County, which had already come to an end, suddenly became in full swing. It was divided into stages of construction by multiple construction teams, which shortened the construction period of this waterway that transports water from high altitude outside the city into the city in an instant. How many.In just five days, the first water channel was completed!

Li Huan immediately issued an order to build the second, third, and fourth waterways.

When the first waterway was opened, people truly understood that Anyanghou's method of building a high-altitude waterway was nothing short of miraculous.

The water tower built high in the city had a fixed source of water pouring into it, and the drainage system of the entire city came alive in an instant.

After the original construction, some cement ditches that were silted up by dirty water were flowing with clean running water all the time.

Not only that, even Li Huan's Hou Mansion began to build a water tower.

After reading it, Sima Qian felt very strange. These days, he has been leading people to open up the so-called terraced fields according to Li Huan's plan.

Although Li Huan is not particularly optimistic about moving rice from Huainan country to plant here next year, he has always been very serious in his work. In half a month at most, the hydraulic power of the terraced fields will have been built.

After seeing this exaggerated method of transporting water into the city, his first thought was to calculate whether he would save money by building a waterway into the city, or by transporting water into the city this way.

As a result... Zhuo Wenjun had already calculated it one step ahead of him, and he actually saved money this way...

Zhuo Wenjun sat on the little donkey, pointed to the road ahead and said: "Anyang City does not have a moat. The first big problem in diverting inflows into the city is to open a hole under the city wall and rebuild a section of the city wall. For us, that is already It is not a difficult task, but along the way, even if we have cement pavement as the river bottom, digging the river channel will still require a lot of manpower and material resources..."

The sky passed by in front of him, and he was pressed under the four airborne water channels flowing into the city from the tower. Zhuo Wenjun looked up and exclaimed: "But if we transport water this way, there won't be this problem. I was worried at first that someone would throw in the water." Poison, but if you think about it carefully, anyone who does this will be an enemy of the entire Anyang County, and the Marquis's water is not supplied from here alone, so poisoning is completely untenable."

Sima Qian nodded and said: "The main reason is that this water is living water, and poisoning is almost impossible. The ordinary soldiers here at the city gate have been assigned to patrol the waterways every day..."

He couldn't help but shake his head: "If I had done this before, I wouldn't have believed it. Lord Marquis, it was actually done here."

"The promise of turning mountains and rivers back is still the same as yesterday, I'm afraid you are going to lose." Zhuo Wenjun grinned: "I just heard Chu Yi say that a giant object called a waterwheel is being built in the Hou Mansion. Now It is quite similar to a water-powered windmill, but it has a larger tank with a diameter of nearly seven feet, which can transport water from the lower tank directly to the top of the three-story building in the front hall of the Hou Mansion."

Sima Qian was greatly surprised and said: "I really don't know, what did the Marquis do these days when I was clearing wasteland on the hillside?"

"One of his concubines is pregnant. She is much more energetic than usual when doing anything." When Zhuo Wenjun said these words, although there was a smile on his face, no matter how he looked at it, he felt helpless. Concealed loss.

Why didn't Sima Qian understand her thoughts? He lowered his voice and asked in a low voice: "Qubing'er didn't mean that as long as you make the shock-absorbing spring that the Marquis said, why don't you just stand here and speak for you? According to common sense Speaking of which, the matter of smelting should not be difficult for you..."

"It can't be that easy. It's very difficult to pull out steel as thick as your thumb. You have to wind it into a ring before the steel has completely cooled down. The gaps between each other must be the same. I still can't I don’t think I can come up with any good ideas.”

There was something strange on Sima Qian's face, and he said in a low voice: "I am probably going to lose the promise of turning mountains and rivers backwards, but as a person who writes history books, I don't want to change..."

Zhuo Wenjun glanced at Sima Qian with strange eyes, and Sima Qian gritted his teeth and said, "You give me a helping hand, and I will help you achieve what you want, okay?"

"I'm going to tell the Lord that this agreement about the mountains and rivers turning back is invalid?"

Sima Qian looked at Zhuo Wenjun's surprised little face and smiled awkwardly: "You and I each get what we need, and we complement each other without making things difficult for each other..."

"Are you really sure that you can make the so-called damping spring?"

"Didn't I think of ways to improve the machinery in the cement plant to the point where it can be used in mass production?" Sima Qian was full of confidence in this: "I only need to stay in the factory for a few days, and I will definitely be able to come up with some clever ideas for you. "

Zhuo Wenjun's eyes flashed with joy: "If you think about it, a high-ranking official like Tai Shiling wouldn't deceive a poor person like me who is homeless and like bran because of such a trivial matter, right?"

"That's for sure. I never broke my promise when I spoke." When Sima Qian said this sentence, he was full of righteousness and confidence, but then he turned around and added another sentence: "What you say with the Marquis of Anyang does not count. Never talk nonsense.”

"Very good!" The two of them rode horses, led the team into the city, and went straight to the Hou Mansion.

In the spacious cement square, craftsmen are starting work on the waterwheel planned by Li Huan.

With their previous experience in making water-powered windmills, these craftsmen have already become extremely skilled. In at least four or five days, a behemoth with a diameter of nearly seven feet can be built on a three-story building above the [-] steps. Standing tall on the edge, competing with it, trying to compete.

Li Huan and his concubine Cuihua had returned to the government office where they were staying. After Sima Qian confirmed that the news was correct, his walking posture changed from hunched over and depressed to high-spirited and high-spirited.

Especially after seeing the sink that was almost as big as his own bathtub, he no longer believed that such a thing could happen.

What kind of power can drive such a huge windmill?
Not to mention, this huge water tank is going to be installed on a windmill?What kind of force is needed to promote this?
At this moment, the craftsman in charge of this place was reporting to Zhuo Wenjun the next project to be done.

"The Marquis has already ordered that a lake be re-excavated here. One of the high water channels coming in from outside the city will be diverted to this side. In other words, this is the power brought by the alternative water-powered windmill."

While Zhuo Wenjun was still trying to figure out how this thing worked, Sima Qian from behind had already rushed forward quite rudely and said loudly: "Master Hou wants to use water power to drive water power?"

The foreman knew Sima Qian's identity and hurriedly bowed his hands before continuing: "The Marquis has ordered that a high-level water transport channel be built here, right here..."

The man made a gesture: "The high-level water transport channel is connected to the roof of the high-rise building. It looks like a mountain from a distance. It can ensure that the water in the water tank of the hydraulic windmill is poured into it, so that it can be placed in the clay pot from the roof of the high-rise building and penetrate through each house."

He suddenly noticed that Sima Qian's expression was a little dull, and he hurriedly raised his hands and said: "Actually, in the words of the Marquis, we don't need to repair such a big waterwheel, but to save trouble, such a big waterwheel can not only ensure that the entire three The water consumption of the high-rise buildings, as well as the water consumption of the entire inner and outer courtyards of the Marquis Mansion, can be met at once."

The craftsman took a few steps forward, pointed to the tall building and said: "After the mountain-like high-level reservoir here is successfully built, the ceramic pipes will be relocated to divert the water from the roof to the inner courtyard. In other words, only such a huge It can ensure that all the water in the entire Hou Mansion keeps flowing. This is also an excellent way to accomplish all the results in one battle."

Sima Qian looked embarrassed. These craftsmen could already make such a huge thing. He even thought of the so-called high-level water tank on the slope where he led his men to excavate. It had already been formed by casting cement.

If one layer is not enough to raise it to the height you want, you can raise it layer by layer...

The waterwheel should be made smaller, and both manpower and livestock can be used as the source of power for the waterwheel...

Sweat continued to break out in Sima Qian's palms, and for a moment he felt that even if the Marquis wanted to fly to the sky, this might be possible.

The only premise is that as long as Mr. Hou wants it.

Before Zhuo Wenjun finished speaking, Sima Qian immediately jumped on the horse: "Leave the shock absorber spring to me!"

Without giving Zhuo Wenjun a chance to speak, Sima Qian had already left.

Zhuo Wenjun watched him whip the horse's butt and was a little worried that the horse would go crazy and throw him away, or hit pedestrians on the street...

Among the factory buildings stretching in the mountains, there is one place that is the most unique and special.

Here, not only was a 500-man team of the Han army protected, but there were even tall arrow towers, hidden sentries, and even a rule of guarding in shifts day and night.

Here is Zhuo Wenjun's ironmaking room, where the technology of steel beam welding, the huge gears used to crush cement in cement plants, and the so-called shock-absorbing springs that are giving everyone a headache are all being studied here.

When Sima Qian came here, all the craftsmen immediately greeted him solemnly. This was a truly creative and thoughtful official.

"So far?" Sima Qian asked directly.

"Reporting to your Majesty, we can now make steel that is as thick as a thumb, and its hardness is very high..."

While the man was speaking, Sima Qian had already reached out and grabbed a steel spirit inserted into a wooden slot on one side. He stretched out his hand and weighed it, and the steel spirit, which was as tall as a man, trembled uncontrollably.

The heavy feeling made Sima Qian subconsciously think that if this thing was poked at someone, it would give them a chill.

"What method are you using now?" Sima Qian asked again.

"After it was red-hot, use iron pliers to clamp it and turn it into a ring shape. Although it became a lot..." A craftsman hurriedly took some prepared ring steel. Sima Qian took it in his hand and looked at it. He knew why it didn't work. The ring shape It is different from the gap between rings. In other words, this is uneven force...

He frowned for a moment, turned around and asked, "Have you tried it on the car?"

"I tried it, but it didn't achieve the expected effect at all. In the drawing given by Mr. Hou, this kind of ring needs to ensure a certain balance. If it is twisted into a ring and then remade, the effect will not be very good. , Mr. Huo's requirements are not low, and even if we can forge it with great difficulty, there is no way to mass-produce this object. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Mr. Marquis to communicate..."

An old craftsman looked nervously and looked at Sima Qian with pleading eyes.

Sima Qian frowned, but then he understood what these people were worried about, shook his head and said: "Don't worry, even if your master becomes the Marquis's servant, no one will behead you to force you to create these... "

"Have you thought about using steel plates again?" Sima Qian suddenly thought of the seesaw invented by Mr. Hou. The middle end of a piece of wood is supported as a stress point. After it is fixed, you can go up and down, and you can go up and down. During this process, the board will bend but will not break. "

"Steel plate?" Many craftsmen looked at each other. This was far from the shock-absorbing spring they wanted to make.

"Fetched!"

Sima Qian frowned, and someone immediately brought out a steel plate that was as wide as a palm. It was about a finger thick and more than four feet long. It was extremely heavy, but Sima Qian could hold it with one hand.

This thing was originally used in the iron room to forge the sword that killed the horse...

Sima Qian pondered for a moment, and the image of the Marquis's women playing on the seesaw came to mind again...

For a moment, Sima Qian felt as if something was coming out of his mind...

"Immediately build a seesaw in the courtyard and arrange for people to play on it."

Sima Qian's order was outrageous, but these craftsmen had no status to speak of, so who would dare to disobey them?
Immediately, a simple seesaw was under the control of two craftsmen with frowning faces. You went up and down, and you went up and down to play.

Sima Qian looked at the wooden board that sometimes became a little curved, sometimes became straight...but, elastic...

He glanced down at the steel plate he was still holding in his hand, took out a brick, and placed the steel plate in the middle. His feet stepped on the left and right sides of the steel plate. He opened his hands, and while maintaining his balance, he exerted slight force on his body.

At this moment, the light in Sima Qian's mind exploded!

"It's done!"

Sima Qian jumped off the steel plate, looked at the leading craftsman and said: "Get a steel plate like this immediately, and at the same time pull the four-wheeled vehicle over, I will take you to refit it!"

With almost no instructions, the craftsmen immediately left in a hurry to prepare these things.

Sima Qian stood on the steel plate again, looked at the many craftsmen and said: "You can see clearly that the carriage has been modified like this. The place where my feet press is the bearing point of each wheel."

He deliberately stood on the steel beam and exerted force, causing his body to jolt. After all the craftsmen saw this clearly, Sima Qian continued to speak loudly:
"Our normal load-bearing axle is directly pressed on the wheel axle, and now I want you to change this method. After superimposing the steel plates, the position where my feet press is the load-bearing place. In this way, the tank will move Just go over the bumpy road..."

He continued to exert force, making his body jolt, then jumped off the steel plate, and his feet landed with a "snap".

Sima Qian continued: "Bumping the body up and down is equivalent to the so-called shock absorption, and jumping down directly is equivalent to a car without shock absorption, hitting the ground heavily. After you understand the principle I said, Then take action immediately!”

"In other words, the weight of the carriage is instead pressed on both ends of the load-bearing steel plate. The middle position of the steel plate is still pressed on the axle. We should raise the position of the carriage in disguise."

Among the craftsmen, someone immediately repeated Sima Qian's actions. They used a steel stack. After placing three steel plates on it, the people standing on it suddenly found that it had no shock-absorbing effect at all...

Sima Qian really wanted to slap this man. He has become an ant on a hot pot now. A giant waterwheel can be built in a few days. These craftsmen don't want to solve their own problems, but are still creating problems for themselves?
You fucking!

"Your Majesty, why not make a change and change the length of the steel bar to a different one? Then with the same weight, the steel bar itself can also be used to absorb shock!"

A craftsman with a white beard suddenly looked at Sima Qian with bright eyes.

"The length of the steel bar?" Sima Qian pondered.

The old craftsman immediately started, leaving one of the four-foot-long steel bars, and replacing the remaining two steel bars with three-foot and two-foot-five.

This time, after the body of the man who stood up before exerted force, the four-foot-long steel plate deformed slightly, and his body, as strong as an ox, also undulated slightly while standing on the steel bar.

"It's done!" At this moment, Sima Qian was ecstatic and grabbed the white-bearded craftsman beside him: "You now have the power to command all people to assemble the first car immediately, but remember that more steel bars need to be installed. Make sure the steel bars won’t be broken due to excessive bumps!”

The old craftsman nodded excitedly and immediately began to direct his hands to think about the next problem, how to fix multiple steel bars on the axle.

But soon, this problem was easily solved, and the ready-made iron drill became the best reference.

That night, Li Huan slept soundly; this night, Sima Qian had his eyes wide open and was not sleepy at all!

Before the sun had risen, Sima Qian had already driven a four-wheeled chariot equipped with shock-absorbing steel plates, rushed through the gate of Anyang City, and went straight to where Li Huan was staying!

　A big chapter of [-] words, brothers, earn some excitement to refresh yourself, and let me talk about the power outage. My home is in an urban-rural area, and construction is either done here or there. Anyway, I have already been screwed and am ready to save money to buy a laptop. Sorry, I'm really afraid that my computer will burn down...
