Chapter 4 Keel Waterwheel
It was just dawn, and Long Feiyu got up early in the morning.Looking at the servants who got up earlier than me, I smiled at them and said, "Xiaolan, Xiaoqian, you two, clean up the house and the outside, ah Fu A Shou, Hu Zi, The four of you, Big Dog, are responsible for draining the water in the pond today, and we will live together in the future. But the water in this pond is too smelly, so drain it clean."

The four said suspiciously: "It is said that this house was lived by an official of the Sui Dynasty. It was later sold to a businessman. When the businessman expanded it, he recruited many talents to fill the pond. Now that it is released, we will not Are you looking for water?"

Long Feiyu smiled and said: "You don't need to worry about this, you just need to let me release all the stinky water."

The four of them grudgingly went down to work. When the artificial lake was built, the problem of drainage had already been set. Besides, the yard was only a few acres in size, so the lake was not that big. Give people the most space.

Drainage only needs to be watched, and the real problem is the silt at the bottom of the lake.The water was gone in less than half a day, but the mud caused the four of them a headache.

Seeing their headaches, Long Feiyu smiled and said, "You wouldn't go find some farmers nearby and ask them to remove these things. The silt contains high nutrition and can be used to strengthen the ground."

Several people glanced at each other, then suddenly slapped their foreheads and said, "That's right, let's go find someone right now."

Seeing four people looking for someone, Long Feiyu hurriedly stopped them and said: "Just one person will go, one person will help me, and the other two will go and cut those trees. No one has lived there these years. These things are starting to skyrocket.”

Hearing Long Feiyu's order, A Fu walked up to him, while the big dog went out to call someone, and A Shou and Hu Zi went to cut the tree.Seeing Long Fei fiddling with those logs, Ah Fu wondered, "Master, what are you doing with these logs?"

Long Feiyu said with a smile: "You will know in a while, go and help me take out all the logs in the east wing. I have to do something, so bring the wooden nails along the way."

"Oh"

The sound of crackling in the yard woke Long Liang up, he got up from the bed, and when he saw Long Feiyu fiddling with wood, he came over and said, "Yu'er, what are you doing?"

Long Feiyu said with a smile: "Father, aren't you worried that the water in this well won't come up? Look at me making you something that can make the water flow up automatically without people."

Looking at what Long Feiyu made, Long Liang said disdainfully: "I thought it was something good, it turned out to be a keel waterwheel? The waterwheel you made is not waiting for people to step on it. It's a big deal." How can a pond have to be tossed for several days."

Long Feiyu smiled and said nothing, shaved the wood with a plane, and made gears of different sizes.They got stuck one by one, and said to Long Liang, "Father, you use a rope to drop me into the well, and then let me lower the keel waterwheel."

Long Liang watched his son tossing around here with amused expression, he didn't stop the child from being studious.Do your best to support him in doing things that are obviously thankless, smiled and said: "Go down, but be careful."

Long Feiyu walked to the side of the well with a cry, and quickly went down the well with Long Liang's help. He fixed it on both sides of the well wall with a few crossbars, and stepped on the well wall with his feet, facing the Long Liang shouted: "Father, get the water wheel down for me."

The water level here is not low, a total distance of four or five meters.After a while, Long Liang got the water wheel down, and Long Feiyu put the water wheel into the well water, fixed the rest of the parts on the crossbar, and asked Long Liang to pull him up.

Looking at the waterwheel that was more than two meters above the surface of the well, Long Liang smiled and patted his son on the shoulder and said, "You are still young, son, use your brain to do things in the future, who can climb so high if you build such a high waterwheel?" Step on it?"

Long Feiyu smiled noncommittally, looked at Ah Fu who was carrying the crossbar, and said, "Ah Fu, you split this and the thickest crossbar for me from the middle, and cut off three or four meters."

"Oh"

Over there, Xiaoqian and Xiaolan came to fetch water with buckets, and when they saw the mouth of the well occupied by the water truck, they arrived: "Master, can you get the water truck out first, and put it down after we finish pumping water?"

Long Feiyu smiled and said: "Don't worry, wait a while, I will press the gear first, and the water will come up by itself. By the way, you can find me a thin rope."

The two of them went down to look for it, and Long Feiyu stuck the finished gears on a large template one by one, installed a larger one on the top of the waterwheel, and brought a wooden wedge The big funnel together is placed under the waterwheel, and the funnel is connected with a bamboo tube.

A windmill-like thing was placed under the bamboo tube, with a round wheel on the outside and a slot on the wheel. Bian Xiaoqian and the others brought a rope, and Long Feiyu connected one end of the rope to the wheel. The other end is connected to the rope outside the big synthetic gear above the well.

Turn the wheel similar to a windmill on this side by hand, and the entire gear assembly on the other side will start to rotate. Because the gears are nested together, it only takes a little effort to turn the entire machine.So the waterwheel started to turn, and the water flowed down from the top of the waterwheel, into the big funnel made of wood, and then flowed down through the bamboo tube.

The impact of the water flow moved the thing similar to the windmill, and the wheels connected to the windmill turned, and the wheels drove the waterwheel. An interlocking waterwheel was made, and the water flowed continuously from the well. come out.

Long Liang glanced at Ah Fu and the two servant girls who were also stupid around him, and said in astonishment: "It doesn't make sense, how can you move like this?"

Long Feiyu said with a smile: "Have you not seen it? This gear will reduce a lot of power by changing the size of the gear. If the power is reduced, then this small power leaf is completely enough for his work. .”

Looking at the stupid people, Long Feiyu smiled and said, "Why are you still cold? Aren't you going to fetch water? Take it."

The two of them oh, and hurriedly put the bucket under the wind wheel.Over there, Ah Fu saw the bamboo tube and wooden plank brought by Long Feiyu and said with a smile: "Young Master, needless to say, I know what to do."

Long Feiyu smiled and said: "Don't fill the pond with water, but bury the bamboo tube in the ground. Use wooden boards to insulate it all the way to the pond, but wait for someone to empty the silt in the pond."

"Oh"

The two girls filled the water and said in a hurry, "Master, how can the water stop when it's full?"

Long Feiyu smiled, and untied the rope connecting the wheels with his hands, and the water flow stopped after a while.Everyone circled around this invention in surprise, it was really amazing.
