Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty

"Xiaoxuan, you're talking about the water tube cart~?"

On Yunshan, Yan Shaoning looked at Li Zexuan and asked.

Li Zexuan nodded, "Well, it's a water tanker. If this type of waterwheel doesn't work, I can also design a new type of waterwheel with greater power and longer transmission distance~!"

There are several waterwheel models in his mind, but he is not familiar with this kind of thing, and he doesn't know if it can be used in the situation of Yanhuang Academy.

If the current power system is not easy to solve, he would definitely build the pump himself. For him, the pump is easy to do, but the difficulty lies in the power required by the pump. If it is driven by an internal combustion engine, he still has disadvantages in materials. If it is driven by a motor, He does not have a stable power supply system, so he can only use the idea of ​​a water tanker now.

Although Yan Shaoning had confidence in Li Zexuan's creative ability, he still shook his head and said:

"I don't think so~! Yanhuang Academy is too far from the Bahe River, and the terrain is too high. It is no different from the fantasy to transport water by waterwheel~! Even if it can be transported, it is impossible to transport too much, even if you I think it will be useless to make a more powerful waterwheel, and it will not be worth the loss~!"

Li Zexuan rubbed his eyebrows and looked a little bit distressed. After tangling for a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "So, Shaoning, you can help me find a group of craftsmen who dig wells, and let them find a suitable place for me on Yunshan. Water well~! Let’s carry water from the mountain in the early stage of the college~!"

Yan Shaoning's eyes widened and said, "You kid is crazy~? Yunshan is so high, how can it be possible to dig a well~?"

Li Zexuan shook his head and disagreed: "You are wrong to say that, Shaoning. Although Yunshan has a high terrain, the trees on the mountain are dense and there is plenty of rain for many years. In some places, water can still be dug out. You can find an experienced person. The craftsmen of China should be able to find a few good locations~!"

There is a saying that digging wells in the mountains is futile. Many people think that the terrain on the mountains is high and underground water cannot be dug. This is a misunderstanding. In fact, there can be underground water in some places on the mountain.

Groundwater exists not only on flat ground, but also on high mountains. Sometimes there is no underground water in places lower than the horizon~! The existence of groundwater is related to the structure of rock formations. Some rock formations cannot hold water, and some rock formations contain confined water. Besides, there are soil, trees, flowers and plants on the mountain. These things are the main factors for water storage. If the water and soil are well maintained, it is not impossible to dig two or three meters to reach the water.

In Li Zexuan’s previous life, a relative contracted a mountain to raise chickens. Because the mountain was high and there was no running water, his relative asked someone to dig a well on the mountain. As a result, water was dug after only 1.5 meters. Therefore, the topography is not the decisive factor for the work of digging wells.

Yan Shaoning didn't understand this, so he doubted: "Can such a high mountain really be able to punch a well~?"

Li Zexuan assuredly said: "Sure, Shaoning, you can rest assured that as long as the craftsmen who dig wells are experienced and can distinguish the water level, they will definitely be able to make wells on Yunshan~!"

"Okay~! Then I will arrange someone to go to Chang'an City to find a well digging craftsman~!"

…………………

On the Yunshan side, the construction of the academy is proceeding intensively. In the "Datang Daily", there have also been waves of propaganda campaigns against engineering and Yanhuang Academy. When the engineering was first promoted, Ma Zhou arranged A group of people went to study the articles published by Li Zexuan. Many people in the editorial department have a deep understanding of engineering. Therefore, Li Zexuan does not need to write in the later propaganda. The talents in the editorial department focus on this aspect. A lot.

Therefore, recently the news section of the newspaper has almost been slaughtered by words such as Yanhuang Academy and Gongxue. With such a fierce propaganda offensive, more and more people know what Gongxue is, and the construction outside Chang'an City What kind of academy is Yanhuang College?

Engineering, Yanhuang Academy, all of a sudden, the momentum is like a rainbow~!

Of course, many Confucian scholars must have jumped out to criticize Li Zexuan for using newspapers to boast about engineering, but since Cui Yunhan was released from Qiongzhou and Li Zexuan came to Chang'an on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, all opposition voices have almost ceased. One is irrational, and the other is daring.

And as the Wang family used Kuaima to sell newspapers in recent issues to other states and counties, the reputation of Engineering and Yanhuang Academy has begun to spread to other regions. In particular, Li Zexuan’s flying deeds on the Mid-Autumn Festival night are particularly shocking. The most intuitive manifestation is that according to the data returned by the "Datang Daily" in various branches, the students who signed up for Yanhuang Academy began to show exponential growth. There were already two thousand people two days ago.

If this data is released, it will definitely cause a great uproar, because there are not so many students in the Imperial College and Hongwen Hall together!

Of course ~www.ltnovel.com~ among so many students, there must be many people who just read the news and went to sign up. It is possible that they have not fully mastered the subjects of the entrance examination of Yanhuang College. Even if they come to take the exam, There is no hope of being selected.

More students choose to buy a new mathematics textbook and take a look at home. They will only register if they understand and learn well. They will not register if they don’t understand. This is okay. It can be seen from the recent sales of new math teaching materials.

Up to now, the shipment volume of arithmetic textbooks of Qiqu Culture has reached more than 50,000, 50,000 to 2,000. At this time, there is a very different ratio. Of course, there are also some arithmetic enthusiasts who just want to study Li Zexuan’s new style. Math.

In addition to the sharp increase in the number of student registrations, more and more people want to apply for Yanhuang Academy. One is because Li Zexuan's salary is too generous, and second, the current engineering and Yanhuang Academy are already hot. Come here to teach, you can earn both fame and fortune~! The fool won't come~!

First of all, some famous local scholars in Chang'an. They were the first to find Li Zexuan for interviews. These days, Li Zexuan had done ten interviews, but only one person was recruited, and he was still an old acquaintance. He sat when he was in the Imperial College. The assistant professor Mou, who works opposite him, followed Xu Hongzhi, and wanted to change jobs.

The others are either too deeply corroded by Confucianism, or they have no teaching skills at all. Li Zexuan said that he can't listen to such boring classes. How can his future students be willing to listen?

Therefore, of the ten gentlemen who came to apply for the job, only one succeeded. The acceptance rate of Yanhuang Academy was so low that it was gradually spread out.
