Technology dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 125 [Epoch-making New Farm Tools]

Lu Bu stared at them and said, "Take a look first, this is the second thing the Department of Agriculture will do next."

[Design Drawings of Boat Mill and Boat Drum], [Design Drawings of Windmill], [Design Drawings of Water Mill] three books, Fu Yong first gave Qin Yun, Liao Kuan, and Lin Sheng a copy each.

"The blueprints for the ship mill and the ship reel?"

"Windmill blueprint?"

"Water mill design drawing?"

The three of them took the book from Fu Yong, and they were all surprised when they saw the exquisite and colorful Han Dynasty characters and colorful pictures written on it.

Each book has a corresponding title and a corresponding color picture, that is, the picture of the finished color of the boat, the windmill, and the water mill with the background.

No wonder the three of them were surprised. Even when Lu Bu first got it, he said in his heart: Damn it!

You should know that the book [Liquor Brewing Method] that Lu Bu redeemed from the system before, the cover of the book and the pictures and text inside are all in black and white.

This may be one of the changes brought about by the system upgrade, and Lu Bu couldn't complain.

Zhu Gui and Bai Ji beside them also looked out curiously, equally astonished.They have never seen such exquisite colorful pictures and artistic words, and it is normal to be shocked.

The pictures are more than 3D technology, the text must be artistic text, and the font does not look like regular script. Lu Bu has never seen it, and Qin Yun and the others have never seen it.

These colorful pictures and text fonts are so magical that people can't help but take a few more glances.

Opening the book, Qin Yun and others found that although the pictures and text inside were not as colorful as the written ones, the pictures were still in color.

Graphic explanation, the five people who are familiar with agronomy and farm tools, saw the pictures and text content in the book, they knew that it was just the blueprints for the production of three new farm tools.

According to the illustrations in the book, [Windmill], also known as [Wind Valley Wheel], is a wooden agricultural tool used to remove impurities, shriveled grains, straw chips, etc. from the seeds of rice and other crops.

Before crossing, Lu Bu had seen and used similar windmills in his hometown in the countryside when he was a child.It is shaken by hand, and the wind can be controlled by strength, but it will become weak after shaking for a long time.

Its basic structure is: there is a trapezoidal feeding bin on the top, a funnel below for rice output, a small funnel on the side for output of fine rice and shriveled grains, and a tail for output of chaff; "There is a hidden impeller with an iron handle, and the wind blades are turned by hand to lift the grains. The wind generated by the fast rotation speed is also strong, and vice versa.

In this era, impurities, shriveled grains, and straw debris in rice and other crops are cleaned mainly through simple tools such as dustpans.Even if it is laborious, it cannot be cleaned.

Lu Bu believed that the appearance of the windmill would definitely liberate some labor force, so that he could make better use of the limited manpower.

[Boat mill] is a kind of water mill. It uses water flow to impact the vertical water wheel installed on the side of the ship, and drives the grinding disc on the ship through the gear mechanism.

[Boat pestle] is a kind of water pestle, which utilizes the water flow to impact the vertical water wheel installed on the side of the ship, and uses the paddle on the horizontal axis of the water wheel to move the pestle lever to pound the pestle.

Now there are only water mills and water pestles, and they are not widely used.Compared with ship mills and boat grinders, the efficiency is much lower.Although they all use hydraulic power, the technology and effect are quite different.

As for the [Water Mill], it is relatively simple. It is a mill driven by water. Farmers use stream water or quoted river water to flow to the drum-shaped waterwheel through wooden bars. After the waterwheel turns, it drives the gear of the mill and rotates the general The pole, through the long arm of the general column, pushes the huge pie-shaped milling pan, which runs in the milling trough, and the rice miller sweeps the grain along the trough continuously, so that the grains are evenly piled in the trough, so that the milling pan can grind it. Millet is separated into bran and rice.

Whether it is [Windmill], [Boat Wheel], [Boat Mill] and [Water Mill], they are all used to separate grains and impurities.It's just that their efficiency is much higher than existing tools.

Qin Yun, Liao Kuan, Lin Sheng, Zhu Gui, and Bai Ji gradually became fascinated by the five people. Although they didn't know much about the details of production, they could roughly understand the usefulness of these things, and they could imagine that once they were made What is the impact after coming out.

The core technology of these agricultural tools lies in the driving parts and the production of gears.For this era, it is still possible to keep these technologies from being leaked in the short term.

After about half a stick of incense passed, Lu Bu had already finished two cups of tea, and seeing that the time was almost up, he interrupted the five people and asked, "What do you think of the farming tools recorded in the book?"

"It can be called uncanny workmanship!"

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

"Very good, if it is really produced, it will definitely have a great impact."

Liao Kuan, Lin Sheng, and Qin Yun replied with excited expressions on their faces, as did Zhu Gui and Bai Ji who did not speak.

Bai Ji can't read much, but just looking at the pictures, he knows that these things are extraordinary.

Although they are curious about how these books come from, they look like paper, but the existing Caihou paper is not so surprising, it is not Caihou paper, and they don't want silk and silk.
Although there were many curious things, they would not know if Lu Bu didn't say anything, and they didn't dare to ask more.

Of course, it is impossible for Lu Bu to answer their questions. He said: "These three things will be kept and produced by the [Department of Agriculture]. But, you must remember that it must be kept secret, and the production method must not be disclosed, otherwise This general has no choice but to blame you."

"promise!"

The five of them answered heavily, and they all understood what Lu Bu meant.

After that, Lu Bu continued: "After these things are made, [Windmill] can be sold outside, but [Boat Wedge], [Boat Mill] and [Water Mill] must be found in various places under the name of [Agricultural Department] suitable location for installation."

"After the installation, it is currently managed by someone from the Department of Agriculture. In principle, it can only be used by the General's Mansion at present, but if someone is willing to pay a high price, it can also be used in their free time."

What Lu Bu thought was to use the [Windmill] to attract the public first, and keep the [Boat Mill], [Boat Wedge] and [Water Mill] closed to the public, in order to obtain the maximum benefit.

In doing so, one is to give the people time to adapt, but to make them pay more attention to and desire it.It's better than trying to promote it abruptly.

The active promotion of new things is often tortuous. It is better to retreat and change the way, which may have unexpected results.

"There is one last important thing that needs the full cooperation of the Department of Agriculture." Lu Bu said again: "This general will set up new counties in the three counties, and you must know about this. Therefore, the Department of Agriculture needs the strong cooperation .”

"Please rest assured, General, I will definitely do my best!"

Qin Yun took the lead in expressing his opinion.

"As far as these things are concerned, you can make preparations for the relocation of the Agriculture Department first." Lu Bu finished arranging things and let them leave.

In the afternoon of that day, Lu Bu received an urgent military message from Hao Meng. After reading the letter, Lu Bu frowned, and immediately arranged for Fu Yong to send a message to Chen Gong and Zhang Yang.

And he was waiting in the main hall.

"I wanted to wait a few days before attacking, but it seems that the enemy can't bear it anymore." Lu Bu sat on the top of the main hall, looked at the sky outside the door, and said to himself.
