Eight Thousand Iron Buddha at the Start, Please Make Concessions to the First Emperor!

Chapter 209

"Your Majesty, Lord Xiangli brought some of the items you asked for to meet me."

"Xianli Sheep?"

Zhao Tuo suddenly remembered what Xiangliyang had said two days ago.

"Let him in.

"Here!"

"Everyone, Xiangli Yang has brought us something good, let's go, let's go and have a look! 35

When they heard something good, everyone's eyes lit up.

Nothing good is said by others.

But from Zhao Tuo's mouth, it's definitely a treasure!

Thinking of this, everyone got up quickly and followed Zhao Tuo to the courtyard.

Xiangli Yang also moved a bunch of things into the bedroom with the help of the imperial guards in the palace.

"all these are….…"

Looking at the pile of things in front of them, Ying Zheng, Meng Yi and others were obviously a little confused.

There are many things made of steel and wood in Daqin, everywhere.

But the weird structure combined in this way really made them a little confused.

Say nothing else.

Judging from its appearance alone, if no one explained it to them, they would not be able to see what these things were for.

Zhao Tuo didn't answer in a hurry, but went up to pick up an umbrella that was very similar to the bamboo umbrella of later generations and measured it.

"Swish"

With a soft sound, the bamboo umbrella opened.

Bamboo umbrella stands are exceptionally tough.

The copper-yellow umbrella surface reveals a dim yellow halo under the sunlight.

Seeing Zhao Tuo playing with the bamboo umbrella, everyone present almost guessed the use of this thing.

"Your Majesty, this is... an umbrella?" Meng Yi looked at the bamboo umbrella in Zhao Tuo's hand curiously.

There was some uncertainty in his tone.

After all, in Daqin, all umbrellas are made of copper skins or animal skins.

Not even this bamboo umbrella is lightweight and convenient.

Zhao Tuo nodded and explained: "Yes, it is an umbrella used to cover the rain and shade.

"It's just that this is done so that ordinary people can use umbrellas. 35

"Aside from the craftsmanship, the materials of this bamboo umbrella are very cheap, far less expensive than the copper and iron bark.

The crowd suddenly realized.

But then, Xiangli Yang, the maker, instead asked: "Your Majesty, I was curious when I was making umbrellas.

"I don't know what material this umbrella is made of? Not only is it as light and tough as paper, but also the waterproof effect is excellent."

"It's called oil paper." Zhao Tuo waved his hand to call for the servants, and distributed the remaining oil paper in the palace to everyone.

He also introduced: "This oiled paper is also a kind of paper, with a high proportion of hemp material, although it is inconvenient for writing, it is more flexible.

"After it's done, brush a layer of tung oil on it, and after drying, it becomes an oiled paper with good toughness that is not wet when exposed to water."

"I see."

"As expected of Your Majesty, to be able to discover such a usage. 55

"Tuoer, this oiled paper is good! This bamboo umbrella that can be folded and converged is also good! Hahahaha!

Obviously, everyone gave a very high evaluation to this paper umbrella.

Immediately, Zhao Tuo looked at the second item again.

It is not difficult to guess by looking at the oil paper folded on it.

This should be the folding canopy that can be placed on the eaves.

This time, I will show you Xiangli Sheep.

"Your Majesty, all the lords of the Emperor, please take a look, this is a foldable canopy.

"The rear beam is fixed on the beam in the house or on the ridge outside the house by means of iron hooks, which is extremely firm. 55

"When you need to use or fold it, you only need to use the matching iron bar to twist the large gears in different directions.

While talking, Xiangli Yang demonstrated for everyone.

Seeing that it was actually expanding and contracting (bjba) freely with the twisting of the iron rod, everyone exclaimed.

And Zhao Tuo also saw it here.

The retractable structure of this canopy should be a winch dragging structure that is practical with the gear set.

It is very understandable, but it is also extremely valuable to be able to appear in this era.

Zhao Tuo nodded with satisfaction.

In general, Xiangli Yang has completed the task he has given with full marks.

"Well done, let me see what other goodies you brought.

Saying that, Zhao Tuo looked at the other two items.

It doesn't matter.

Zhao Tuo was stunned for a moment.

"This is... a hand-cranked whetstone?

Hand whetstone?

Everyone looked at Zhao Tuo in confusion.

Only Xiangli Yang looked shocked.

"I heard that the news from the Black Ice Terrace is extremely well-informed. I never expected that even the surprise prepared by the old man at home for His Majesty did not hide from His Majesty's eyes and ears. 35

"Come on, this has nothing to do with the Black Ice Terrace, it's purely my guess.

This time Xiangli Sheep is stupid.

"Your Majesty guessed the function of this thing just by looking at it?"

"You forgot who gave you the gear set and bearings?"

The corners of Zhao Tuo's mouth twitched, and he squatted down to carefully examine the hand-cranked whetstone.

The reason why he could recognize this whetstone at a glance was mainly because in terms of appearance, it was almost 90% similar to the hand-cranked whetstones of later generations!

The only difference is that it is more bloated.

One of the special structures is exposed.

The small barrel is surrounded by a large barrel, and in the middle are several wooden sticks of extremely uniform size as rollers.

Apparently, this is a wooden version of a roller bearing!

"My dear, this is really a surprise!" Zhao Tuo stroked the whetstone with joy in his eyes.

On the other side, Ying Zheng, Meng Yi and the others were indeed looking at each other with a confused look on their faces.

They know that the whetstone is an indispensable thing in the army.

It is also the basic guarantee for the combat effectiveness of the army.

But...what the hell is a hand-cranked whetstone?

Why is even His Majesty so happy?
