Chapter 259 Waterwheel
Everyone present knew Li Anan very well. If she wanted to do something, she must have some new idea, and maybe it would be a good thing.

"What? What are you going to do?" An Xiaopang was impatient, so he walked over directly.

He saw the lines drawn by Li Anan on the paper that he couldn't understand. After studying them for a long time, he really didn't know what she was going to do.

"I think it's too time-consuming and laborious for us to water now, so I want to make a waterwheel." Li Anan looked helpless at the messy lines on his paper, and blushed a little.

It seems that her talent in painting has not been illuminated. Not to mention that An Xiaopang can't understand it, even she, the author, can't understand what she draws.

"Waterwheel?" This is a new concept for the three of them, although they don't know what it is.

But listening to Li Anan's meaning, you can also understand how much trouble it will save farmers if this thing is made.

"An'an, please tell me more carefully, what do you want to do?" Qin Hong immediately paid attention to it.

"It's a kind of waterwheel. Well, it's installed on the riverside, and then uses the waterwheel to keep the water in the fields. You can make a trough for water diversion, and then get a lock, and close it when not in use. When it is needed, Just open it, so you don’t have to carry buckets of water." Li Anan tried his best to explain it as he understood it.

I also wrote and drew at the same time. Even after I finished drawing four people, no one could understand it.

Everyone understood what she meant.

"Look, is it like this?" Qin Sanlang looked at Li Anan's drawing, added what she said, and drew a picture according to his own understanding.

"Well, it feels a little different. It should be round here, like a cylinder, and the water should flow around from the bottom, using the power of water to make the waterwheel turn, and then flow into the water trough, and then flow into the fields." Li Anan became unsure as he spoke.

She just took a look out of curiosity and listened to the village elder telling the history of this thing.

But she really didn't understand the specific principles, and she knew only a little about the structure.

"What about this?" In just a few words, Qin Sanlang drew another picture.

"It seems to have that feeling." Li Anan looked at the picture, and it was already a bit close to the one he had seen before.

"If you want to use the power of water, you have to make the water wheel rotate. If you still use people, it won't make much sense." Li Anan scratched his hair, feeling a little bald. He really didn't know what he didn't understand. It's too difficult.

"Then let's get a cow to pull it." It was Xiaopang An next to him who made a sudden move, which suddenly lit up their thoughts.

"Yes, Xiaopang is right. You can consider using cows to drive the waterwheel. This will save manpower."

Qin Hong's eyes were filled with smiles as he watched the three little ones studying new things in a decent manner.

Go ahead and do it. If you are willing to do it, it means you have an idea in your mind. Their family is not short of money. Even if you fail the first time, it doesn’t matter. Do it a few more times.

If it succeeds in the end, it will not only benefit a small Peach Blossom Village, but will benefit the entire Daqing Dynasty.

Maybe the three children haven't thought about it that much yet, but Qin Hong has already thought about it. If they really succeed, he will definitely hand it over to them for credit.

"I'll ask my elder brother to make this thing. Let's break it down a little more and see if we can make it more perfect." Li An'an couldn't wait.

Especially since we will be planting rice in a month or so.

Rice needs to be irrigated and watered frequently, and it will be exhausted by then.

"Okay, judging from the effect you said, this thing is not small. Can Brother Li do it for us?" Qin Sanlang reminded.

Forget the usual petty quarrels, the eldest brother of the Li family followed Li Anan.

This time it is a big thing, it uses a lot of materials and is time-consuming, especially since it is something that has never been made before. It will definitely require constant modification and exploration during the process of making it. This may take a few days.

In addition, now that he is busy with farming, Qin Sanlang is not sure whether the eldest brother of the Li family will still be so doting on his sister. "That's right. This is different from before. How about I ask my elder brother to place an order? I'll give him money. I have money." Li Anan patted the small bag he carried with him.

I don’t want to play with her, but I will always do the job of making money.

"An'an, do you want to be beaten? Brother Li will definitely not take your money!" Fatty An looked at Li An'an and thought about why his friends always make mistakes in such simple places.

According to how much the Li family loved her, how could they accept money from her.

It's just that during the busy farming period, it's not realistic for such a useful labor force to play with her and a child.

Moreover, Li Anan was embarrassed to take up the family's manpower in this way.

"Let's do this. The three of us will pay for it, and I'll go find Brother Li. In my name, he will never refuse." Qin Sanlang still had an idea.

"Okay!" Neither Li Anan nor An Xiaopang had any objections to this.

This thing was originally studied by the three of them together, and it was okay to pay for it together. It was usually Qin Sanlang's business to take the lead.

This is not the first time for this kind of cooperation.

"I'm just waiting to see the finished product." Qin Hong slowly put down the tea cup, got up and walked out.

"Yeah!" Seeing Qin Hong walking out, the three children cheered.

Hearing their cheers, Qin Hong smiled, they were still children.

He was fully convinced of the idea of ​​three children and had great hopes for this new waterwheel.

Maybe it can really be done.

To be honest, he didn't want to carry water back and forth.

The three children in the study knew what the teacher meant. His departure meant that they could move freely in the next class.

In fact, it was to set aside time for them to study the waterwheel.

Children are always very motivated when it comes to things that interest them.

The next step is for Qin Sanlang to draw a picture and Li Anan to dismantle the waterwheel. What kind of parts are needed, what is the best size, and what kind of string plates are needed.

In particular, you can also calculate how many acres of land can be irrigated in a whole day.

Although An Xiaopang watched the two friends in confusion, an idea he occasionally came up with could provide inspiration to the two of them.

It is worth mentioning that they have already begun to learn arithmetic.

Among them, Li Anan was the best in school. There was no way she could do it. She was one of the thousands of students who had passed advanced calculus in her previous life.

The basic arithmetic she has learned so far is enough for her to be the first among the three.

Qin Sanlang, who refused to admit defeat, did not expect that he would be surpassed by Li An'an in arithmetic. Now he likes to find a question to test Li An'an when he has nothing to do.

Li Anan could basically answer it without thinking.

Therefore, Li Anan was also responsible for the arithmetic aspects of the waterwheel this time.
