Cultivation little Taoist

Chapter 1080 Keel Waterwheel
"Yue'er, this is for you." Ye Feng thought for a while and stuffed the summoning jade token into Yueying's hand, and then, Ye Feng also floated away.

"maple……"

Moon Shadow looked at Ye Feng who was going away and opened her mouth, but at this time Ye Feng had disappeared.

Such a precious summoning jade token is like a hot potato in Ye Feng's hands, which really makes Yueying not know what to say.

This jade card may be useful to Ye Feng, or it may not be useful to Ye Feng.

If it was Xiao Xuanzi who got this jade tablet, he would probably pass out from happiness.

But Ye Feng can't, Ye Feng is practicing orthodox Taoism, so what's the matter with summoning an extremely powerful demon god?

Moreover, Ye Feng felt that even with his own strength, he could not use this jade token.

After he left, he caught up with Caramore.

Kara Moore was about to get into the carriage, and when he saw Ye Feng chasing him out, he waved his hand: "I said, it's just an investment, you don't need to feel pressured because you owe favors."

"I came here not because of this."

Ye Feng did not say that he had given the jade card to Yue Ying, which seemed to disregard Kara Moore too much.

He wanted to ask Karamore to do another thing for him.

"Oh, so you are?" Caramore asked after stopping.

"I would like to ask Senior Karamore to help me find some Mocha youths who are smart enough. I want to make a pumping device."

"Pumping equipment?" Karamore was stunned, "What is that?"

"It's the thing that pumps water from here to there." Ye Feng didn't know how to explain it, so he scratched his head and said.

There is no concept of farmland in the Demon Realm. After thinking about it, Karamore nodded and agreed to Ye Feng's rare request, and said to the Mocha youths around him:

"You stay here to help Feng, and leave after you finish."

"promise."

"These are the elites of my Mocha clan. Although they are a little weaker in cultivation, they are absolutely top-notch in mind. I wonder if this is okay?" Caramore asked.

Ye Feng nodded, "Thank you."

Karamore waved his hand, boarded the carriage and left.

Ye Feng didn't hesitate either, and immediately brought these Mocha youths to the side of the lake.

They didn't know about the monsters in the Misty City, so they didn't have any fear. They just wanted to try their best to curry favor with the strong Mocha tribe, hoping to get some shade in the future.

Ye Feng had thought about it a long time ago. Since there is no modern equipment, why not get ancient water pumping equipment?
If you want to do it, just make a keel waterwheel.

The name of the keel waterwheel comes from the folks. In the Southern Song Dynasty Lu You's "Spring Festival Gala Scenery": "The keel car roars into the pond, and the rain is still expected to be rich."

Among the historical materials seen so far, this is the earliest source.

This kind of waterwheel is mainly composed of wooden chains, water, scrapers, etc. The wooden chains are like keels, so it is named keel waterwheel.

The keel waterwheel is suitable for short distances, and the water lifting height is about one to two meters. It is more suitable for use in plain areas, or as an auxiliary facility for irrigation projects, and directly lifts water from the aqueduct to the farmland.

The keel waterwheel used to take water from the well is vertical, and the transmission device of the waterwheel has two types of flat wheels and vertical wheels to change the direction of power.

When it lifts water, it is usually placed by the river, and the sink and scraper at the lower end extend straight underwater. Using the principle of sprocket transmission and manpower as power, it drives the wooden chain to turn over and over again, and the scraper installed on the wooden chain can go along. The water lifts the river ashore for agricultural irrigation.

The appearance of this kind of water wheel played an extremely important role in solving the problem of drainage and irrigation.

The original keel waterwheel was turned by manpower, and later our people created various waterwheels that used animal power, wind power, water power, etc. to rotate.

Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, keel waterwheels have been the most commonly used water-lifting machinery for farmland irrigation, drainage, and canal water supply. Especially after Daxing in the south, the demand for low-head water-lifting machinery became more common.

Wang Zhen's "Nongshu" in the Yuan Dynasty drew a map of keel waterwheels with different powers. Among them, human-powered waterwheels include pedals and hand cranks, and animal-powered waterwheels include ox carts and donkey carts.

Due to the reasonable structure, reliability and practicality of this keel waterwheel, it can be handed down from generation to generation.

Until modern times, with the widespread use of agricultural water pumps, it completed its historical mission and quietly withdrew from the stage of history.

The keel waterwheel has now been replaced by an electric water pump as an irrigation tool. However, the working principle of this waterwheel sprocket drive and flap lift has immortal vitality.

Take the bucket dredgers that are often seen on the coast and ports for dredging rivers. The mud buckets that only rotate for dredging are derived from the water-lifting flaps of the waterwheels.

Therefore, when seeing a dredger, people seem to see an ancient keel waterwheel.

So Ye Feng is quite familiar with this, as long as a wide enough shallow pit is dug next to the lake, and the keel waterwheel is added, the water in the lake will definitely be produced.

Ye Feng talked about the principle of the keel waterwheel with those Mocha youths, and the reaction of these people was beyond Ye Feng's imagination. Almost Ye Feng just said it once, and they were able to draw inferences and ask many questions, and within 10 minutes, That is to understand what Ye Feng wants to do and how to do it.

This is really invincible. If the Mocha tribe can have a strong cultivation base, they must be the masters of the demon world.

For the next week, Ye Feng watched them make the keel waterwheel, and at the same time prepared to find the key fragment.

……

The capital, the city of dark blood.

Tuoba and Lucifer sat in the mansion of the city lord who had just won the capital not long ago, with a rare smile on their faces.

A capital city not only completely laid the foundation for Tuoba Lucifer to become a first-class force in the devil world, but also won him a ticket to participate in the devil king challenge qualification competition.

However, Tuoba Lucifer's good face did not last long, because at this time a bad news came.

When Tuoba Lucifer was busy taking over the capital, Dark Blood City, Moon Shadow led a large army to sweep the small and medium-sized cities near Misty City, and Misty City was located on the edge of Tuoba Lucifer's influence.

Therefore, the small and medium-sized cities occupied by Moon Shadow all belong to the forces in the hands of Tuoba Lucifer.

Although those small and medium-sized cities were eroded, this could not shake the foundation of Tuoba and Lucifer at all, especially Tuoba Lucifer, who now has a capital city, is even more of a colossus.

The loss of some small and medium-sized cities is not a big deal at all, but if people continue to erode the power in their hands, if they don't do anything, it will chill the hearts of those small and medium-sized city owners who are attached to Tuoba Lucifer's forces.

Therefore, Tuoba Lucifer had to respond, and now that the capital, Dark Blood City, had been taken over, Tuoba Lucifer could be considered free to deal with Moon Shadow.

It's a pity that now that the power of Moon Shadow has taken shape, it is not easy for Tuoba Lucifer to completely eliminate the power of Moon Shadow, especially the mysterious creatures in the lake outside the Misty City, which made Tuoba Lucifer dare not take it easy One of the reasons for attacking Fog City.

Soon, Tuoba Lucifer issued orders one after another, and suddenly a large number of masters rushed to the city occupied by Moon Shadow, and took back the city occupied by Moon Shadow.

And Moon Shadow's side was not to be outdone, Tuoba Lucifer's strong man had just taken back the city, and was taken down by Moon Shadow again the next moment.

For a time, the small and medium-sized cities near Misty City changed their city owners almost every few days.

The two sides were in a stalemate like this, but at this moment, Yueying disappeared from the stalemate at some point.

These small and medium-sized cities are not the target of Moon Shadow. She came to occupy these cities just to confuse Tuoba Lucifer. The real target of Moon Shadow is those big cities.

However, when challenging the big city, Yueying didn't want Tuoba Lucifer to make trouble, so Yueying led a large army to occupy small and medium-sized cities under the influence of Tuoba Lucifer.

And after preventing Moon Shadow from continuing to occupy those small and medium-sized cities, Tuoba Lucifer stopped paying attention to Moon Shadow's whereabouts.

Because at this time, Tuoba Lucifer received another message, not only Tuoba Lucifer received it, but almost all the major forces in the demon world received it.

"Mocha City announced its support for Moon Shadow to participate in the qualifying round of the Demon King's Challenge?" Hearing this news, Tuoba Lucifer was shocked.

Mocha City is not only a top-level city with S-rank powerhouses, but also the core of the Mocha clan who has mastered nearly half of the wealth in the Demon Realm. It can be said that whoever controls Mocha City is equivalent to controlling half of the wealth in the Demon Realm.

So when I heard that the originally neutral Mocha clan actually announced their support for a faction, not only Tuoba Lucifer was shocked, but all the forces in the demon world were shocked.

"Mocha tribe, this is a dead end."

After some small forces got the news, they couldn't help shaking their heads.

The situation of the Mocha Clan is very clear to almost every Demon Clan. Why the Mocha Clan has always existed and has not been swallowed by any force, who has mastered half of the wealth of the Demon Realm but has no strength. Neutrality is also a very important reason.

However, now the Moka tribe is desperate to declare their support for Moon Shadow, which in the eyes of outsiders is suicide.

"After living a comfortable life for so many years, this Mocha tribe seems to be a little restless."

After getting this news, those high-level demons who accepted the tribute from the Mocha tribe immediately summoned the strong to prepare to put pressure on Mocha City. The Mocha tribe wanted to get out of their control, which was absolutely intolerable.

However, Mocha City soon announced again that it was only supporting Moon Shadow in name this time, without any money or people.

As soon as the news came out, the oppressive feeling that the storm was coming suddenly disappeared.

It is only nominal support, and those high-level demons who accept the tribute from the Mocha tribe can still accept it.

After all, only the money of the Mocha tribe is what they value most, and they don't care about anything else in the Mocha tribe except money.

Moreover, the Mocha tribe supports a small force that cannot be small. However, this matter will naturally not pass like this, and those high-level demons will not forget to take this opportunity to take advantage of the Mocha tribe.

"Why does that Mocha tribe support that small faction inexplicably?"
