Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty

(Two-in-one chapter)

"The source of each Zhuangzi's main channel must be in the highest position, so as to ensure that the river can flow to all the fields in the village!"

Towards the evening, Li Zexuan went to the county office again. Seeing that the county magistrate He was organizing the county officials to discuss the canal repair plan, he sat down and listened quietly. After listening, he got up and pointed at the hall. Said a set of maps he was reading.

In his previous life, he was a rural baby, and in their village, he would pump water from the river into the canal in the summer, so he still has some experience in this regard. And when he was a child, he would often run into the canal in front of the door to play in the water, for which he also suffered a lot of beatings!

It's just that pumps were used for pumping at that time. Where can he get pumps in this era? He understands the principle of a water pump, and if you ask him to do it now, he can do it too, but the water pump is either driven by electricity or diesel. He can't provide these two kinds of energy now!

So, after thinking about it, the best way is the waterwheel!

"Master Hou, if the source of each Zhuangzi's main channel is placed in the highest position, how can the water be drawn up?"

He county magistrate heard this and finally couldn't help but ask the question in his heart.

This question is something everyone in the house wants to ask but dare not ask.

Li Zexuan smiled slightly and said: "You are not to be concealed, Benhou is creating a dump truck that can rely on water or animal power to transport water. Benhou calls it a waterwheel, which can carry water from low places to places without interruption day and night. High places, and this thing has already taken shape. After tomorrow’s test is passed, it can be mass-produced quickly, and then it can be passed through to lead the water from the Bahe Dam to various villages!"

"What? There are such amazing tools in the world? It's incredible!"

Hearing this, He County Order could not help but exclaimed.

The rest of the people were also shocked. Although everyone thought it was incredible, no one doubted the truth or falsehood of what Li Zexuan said. The main reason was that Li Zexuan had created too many miracles in the past, and they have already completed them in their minds. An omnipotent **** man!

Li Zexuan said indifferently: "This is nothing strange. You only need to plan the channel direction of each village according to Benhou's intentions. As for the manufacture and installation of waterwheels, Benhou will ask the craftsmen to do it!"

"Yes! Lord Hou!"

Everyone gave their orders quickly.

Li Zexuan thought for a while, and then ordered: "In addition, the third class of government officials will expand their enrollment as soon as possible. After the water canal is repaired, the county government must start to rectify the public security environment in the city. At that time, the Department of Commerce will also be established. This is related to Lantian County. You must pay attention to the development prospects!"

"Here!"

Palace, Temple of Ganlu.

"What's happening over Li Zexuan? Didn't he say that he wants to build a waterwheel? How is it going now?"

After reviewing the memorial, Li Erban leaned on the dragon couch and asked tiredly.

"His Majesty, as far as the old slave knows, Yonganhou had already handed over the drawings to the workshop yesterday, and the workshop had already built the skeleton of the waterwheel in the afternoon of this day! It seems that the next afternoon, it will start. Tested in the water!"

Zhao Song knew that Li Er was still concerned about the drought, so he asked his servants to pay more attention to the manufacturing progress of the waterwheel. Therefore, if Li Er asked, he could answer immediately!

"Oh? So fast?"

Li Er raised his brows in surprise, and said in surprise.

Zhao Song smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty does not know that Yonganhou has recruited many excellent craftsmen with extremely favorable conditions over the past year. Now the new workshop of Qiqu Pavilion is more than ten times larger than before. There are thousands of people, and even the general supervisor and the Ministry of Engineering can't compare with them, so if Yongan Hou wants to make something with all his strength, the speed is definitely the fastest in the world!"

Hearing this, Li Er couldn't help but smile and said, "Hey! This kid does this. It is estimated that the great masters who will be the prisoners will run to him after resigning? Isn't this the talent who robs me?"

Although it was said that, but Li Er's tone did not sound angry.

Zhao Song couldn't help laughing and said: "Hou Zhi Yongan is promoting engineering, so his workshop can be so large. His Majesty has a broad mind and can accommodate hundreds of rivers, so what Yongan Hou has learned can be useful!"

Li Er shook his head and didn't say anything, but the smile at the corners of his mouth proved that Zhao Song's flattery was very useful in his heart!

"In the afternoon of the next day, if the waterwheel really starts to test, remember to remind me when that time comes, and I will check it out too!"

After a moment of silence, Li Er suddenly spoke.

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

……………………………………

The second day, early morning.

Under the orders of the county magistrate He, the government officials of Lantian County sent out to the villages to direct the construction of cement ditches.

As for the tasks assigned by each Zhuangzi, they were already assigned last night. Today, the yamen have a task book and a drawing, and each is responsible for one Zhuangzi.

Of course, not only the servants, Li Zexuan also sent craftsmen to go to Zhuangzi to instruct the villagers to build the cement ditches.

Before the sun rose, the villagers carried their shovels and, under the command of the Yamen and the craftsmen in their own village, began to clear the ditches!

In the afternoon, next to the Bahe Dam, one after another tall brackets began to be built. Each bracket was more than one foot high. On this row of brackets, there was a wooden rectangular sink about three feet wide.

The craftsmen climbed the ladder, knocked on it, and the sound of "banging" was endless.

"Master, the joints of the wooden planks on this sink are all covered with tung oil to ensure that there is no water leakage! After today, the tung oil on this should be dried, and tomorrow we will start the experiment. It's time to open the gate on the east side of the dam, and we will place the waterwheel on the river channel below the dam. Then we will see if the waterwheel can lift the water in the river to the top of our heads!"

Fu Bo personally took Li Zexuan to patrol the "construction site", and while patrolling, he also explained to Li Zexuan.

Li Zexuan nodded his head in approval and said, "Well! Fubo, you are very thoughtful about the details. Otherwise, with my few drawings, you won't be able to build a waterwheel that can be put into practical use!"

This is the truth. Cooperating with old craftsmen can often save a lot of trouble. There are some problems, even if you haven't thought of them, and never mentioned them, but the old craftsmen can help you notice. This is experience, but also a careful habit cultivated over the years!

Fu Bo laughed and said:

"Haha! What did the young master say? If it weren't for your idea and your drawings, the waterwheel would definitely not be visible now! The old man has been a craftsman for a lifetime, but he has more experience than the young master, but when it comes to invention and creation, Master, you have dumped the old man more than ten streets!"

"Haha! We are all a family, so don't brag about each other! Forber, the sun is still quite poisonous, so please go back and rest first! Here is the care of me and Mr. Mo, there will be no problems. "

Li Zexuan felt that the weather was a bit hot, so he comforted Fubo.

Uncle Fu is a person who refuses to accept the old in his bones, and he hurriedly retorted: "Master, the old man is not that weak, and there will be nothing wrong with the sun..."

Li Zexuan interrupted Fu Bo's words directly and said: "Fu Bo, don't hold on to it when you are old. If you have heatstroke at your age, then my sin will be too great!"

Mo Huai also echoed this loudly: "Brother Fu, the head of the mountain is right, the weather is so hot, your health matters! It's better to go back and rest soon!"

"Okay then! Young master, Brother Mo, if there is anything, just send someone to find the old man!"

Fu Bo was embarrassed and had to leave alone.

Li Zexuan and Mo Huai acted as supervisors and began to patrol the construction site by the Bahe River.

"Mr. Mo, I heard that you have been taking the teachers from the physics department of the college to study the construction of hydropower stations on the dam. How is the progress now?"

Li Zexuan suddenly remembered something and asked.

The Bahe Hydropower Station is the first killer project of Yanhuang Academy. Its practical and symbolic significance is very important. Li Zexuan also said at the beginning that all teachers from the Department of Physics, Mathematical Sciences, and Chemistry are encouraged to actively participate in it. On the other hand, what you have learned in ordinary times can also get the corresponding contribution degree, which can be used for future evaluation of professional titles!

In the past few days, in addition to assisting Fubo to manufacture waterwheels, Mo Huai spent most of the rest of his time on the research of hydropower stations. It can be described as conscientious and conscientious, making Li Zexuan, the leader of the mountain, a little embarrassed!

Mo Huai heard Li Zexuan's question, thought about it, and replied:

"Shanchang, we have determined the location of the generator and the layout of the control lines. When the waterwheel is finished and the dam is opened, we plan to install the generator and generator blades. Is it possible to generate electricity? In this way, we will not waste water in the dam, and we can also test whether our generators can work normally!"

Li Zexuan nodded and said, "That's good! After all, we will learn from practice. If we don't do it ourselves, we will never know whether we are right or wrong. In this way, if your generator can generate electricity normally, you need a generator. Electric appliances to verify, before that, I will help you make the light bulbs! Oh, yes! You have to make transformers, electromagnetic relays, etc., these supporting facilities, you have to start preparing now!"

The professional terms such as light bulb, transformer, and electromagnetic relay are found in physics textbooks. Therefore, Mo Huai did not express surprise because of these new words. He was surprised that Li Zexuan wanted to make light bulbs!

"Shanchang, are you sure to make a light bulb now?"

Mo Huai was extremely surprised, and asked inconceivably.

Li Zexuan nodded and said, "I have a way to make a light bulb. I originally planned to make it a while ago, but it was too late at the time. Recently I took the time to make a few test effects!"

Hearing this, Mo Huai said with excitement: "That's great! Mo has only seen this thing in the textbook you wrote by Shan Chang, but he has never seen a real thing! You said in the book, With this thing, there is no need to light oil lamps or candles at night, because this light bulb is dozens of times brighter than those things!"

Li Zexuan smiled and said: "Electric light is indeed a good thing. With it, people can find real light at night, and Lantian County can become a city that never sleeps!"

..............................

The next day.

After two days of hard work by the craftsmen, the waterwheel and its supporting brackets, tanks and other components were finally installed near the downstream surface of the Bahe Dam.

In other words, since the completion of the Bahe Dam and the closure of the sluices for water storage, the water level of the downstream river has been getting shallower day by day. Therefore, where the waterwheel is installed, the height of the shore from the water surface is as much as one or two feet. Waterwheel, otherwise even if a ditch is dug from here, the river will probably not flow out!

"Master, the waterwheel is in place, but the water level of the downstream river is too shallow, and the river has almost no flowing speed, so the waterwheel is not rotating. Should we open the gate to release the water and let the downstream river flow?"

Uncle Fu came to ask for advice at this time.

Li Zexuan pondered for a while, and said:

Li Zexuan nodded and said: "Just open a gate and try the effect first!"

"Yeah! The old man will order now!"

Uncle Fu answered and went down!

"Haha! At this important moment, your kid didn't know to send someone to notify me!"

At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind Li Zexuan. Who else could it be if it wasn't Li Er?

Li Zexuan quickly turned around, and saw that it was not just Li Er, but Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, Niu Jinda and other confidantes of Li Er were all here!

Such a battle shocked all the craftsmen on the construction site and bowed in salute.

"The minister sees your majesty!"

Li Zexuan quickly bowed his hand to Li Er.

Li Er first said to the craftsmen: "You don't need to be polite, what should you do or what should you do, just as if you didn't see me!"

Afterwards, he looked at Li Zexuan again and said, "Okay, don't you, too! Ha! Is this what you call a waterwheel?"

At this time ~www.ltnovel.com~ Li Er caught a glimpse of the giant roulette standing on the lower reaches of the Bahe River, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

The important officials such as Cheng Yaojin and Wei Zheng also stared in that direction with their eyes widened.

"Back to your Majesty, this is the waterwheel. After the gate is released and the river flows, the waterwheel will turn, and the water will be transported to the sink above us!"

Li Zexuan arched his hands.

"so tall?"

Li Er looked up at the sink above, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Then you can let someone open the gate! Today I want to see if this thing can be transported by the river!"

"Here!"

Li Zexuan gave his orders.

"Open the gate!"

After a while, Mohuai’s shout came from the dam, and then there was a loud “bang”. I saw a gate of the dam opened, and the water in the dam rushed out, falling on the downstream river surface to arouse. In addition to the snowy white waves, because the waterwheel is not far from the dam, although only one gate is opened, the waterwheel is at a location where the flow of the river is relatively turbulent!

So, under the gaze of everyone, that huge roulette finally started to spin, and it spins faster and faster!

The inverted bucket on the outline of the roulette, carrying buckets of river water, poured out at the top of the roulette head, and suddenly, the sound of water flow rang out in the sink!

"It's water! It's water!"

At the other end of the sink, there was a craftsman looking after him. After a while, there was cheering from the craftsman,

The officials were shocked, and Li Er also felt incredible for a while!

"Moving the river to transport water, this is a waterway in the sky! It's like a miracle!"

Wei Zheng raised his neck, looked at the sink above his head, and muttered to himself in shock.
