The Three Kingdoms began with self-reliance as king

Chapter 104 Failure is also normal
"Is this what everyone is talking about turning over water?"

"There is nothing special about it except that it is a little bigger. Can this thing really transfer water to irrigate farmland?"

"Then who's right? After all, everyone has never touched this thing. It's normal to fail for the first time!"

"Well, if it doesn't work this time, there will be a next time, next time, we have so many skilled craftsmen, we will always succeed..."

Liu Yi heard the discussions among the common people.

There are optimistic and there are doubts.

But people are still looking forward to it.

Liu Yi is undoubtedly the most nervous.

These days, he put most of his thoughts and energy into the design and development of the waterwheel.

Strive for perfection.

If you can succeed, who wants to fail?
He desperately hopes to achieve a one-time success, hoping that the water truck can lead the water to the farmland.

But time passed by every minute and every second, and the waterwheel still remained silent.

Craftsmen are busy driving small boats near the waterwheel.

View and assemble core components such as keels, blades, car bolts, water buckets, and drainage channels.

Some parts were installed on the waterwheel from the beginning. If there is a problem, it needs to be disassembled and reassembled.

Some of the parts that will be assembled later can be assembled directly, and some need to be launched into the water.

The figures of craftsmen are constantly shuttling and busy.

As time goes by every minute and every second.

Soon the sun was gradually setting to the west.

On both sides of the river, voices were noisy.

Many people's hope from the beginning gradually turned to disappointment in the end.

If it can be done, it should not be until now.

It seems that the first time to enter the water, most of them will end in failure.

During the long wait, their enthusiasm gradually cooled.

Many soldiers and civilians have lost patience in waiting.

If you want to go, you will miss the moment of witnessing the operation of the waterwheel.

If you don't go, you don't know when you will have to wait, and it is still unknown whether you will succeed or not.

The common people undoubtedly paid the most attention to this gigantic monster standing majestically in the water like a giant ship.

If it works successfully, it will save them a lot of unnecessary labor time and energy.

With this conflicted mood, they tried to persuade themselves to wait a little longer.

As the last joint of the waterwheel drainage tank was nailed, the installation of the waterwheel was completely completed.

Finally assembled?

The onlookers stopped talking one after another.

He stared eagerly at the giant in the middle of the water.

It is Liu Yi who is looking forward to it more than the common people.

His heart was almost in his throat right now.

This water-turning overturned car seemed to be his child.

He is an old father who hopes that his son will become a dragon and his daughter will become a phoenix, and he is eager to witness their success.

This is also the true thought of every craftsman at the moment.

Lu Ziming was inexplicably excited.

With trembling hands, he pulled out the wood and stones on both sides of the drainage canal.

The river water suddenly poured in, and the water flowed through the corresponding parts of the waterwheel, driving the various parts of the waterwheel to run.

Liu Yi was both nervous and excited.

done?

Looking at the swift and violent river, galloping like a reined wild horse, it rushed into the drainage ditch.

The water was sinking vigorously, hitting the blades of the waterwheel continuously.

under great impact.

The water force gradually pushed the waterwheel to turn slowly.

"Squeak!"

"Crack! Creak..."

The harsh voice was so pleasant to Liu Yi's ears!
Because he saw the waterwheel turning!

As long as the waterwheel is turning, it can generate kinetic energy.

When the kinetic energy does work, the water in the river will be transferred to the high farmland to irrigate the crops.

The sound of the friction of the waterwheel is getting louder and clearer, and it is becoming more and more rhythmic from slow to fast.

The water tank filled with river water was gradually lifted to a higher place.

The various parts of the huge waterwheel several feet high began to cooperate with each other.

The first wave of water drilled into the drainage channel.

Immediately after the second wave, the third wave... Countless waves!

At a speed visible to the naked eye, the river flows through the drainage trough like a trickle, and flows into the raised farmland.

"Wow-wow-..."

The pleasant and moving sound of running water is continuous and endless.

really?
is this real?
Are we sure we read it right?
There are really rivers flowing into the farmland!

Moreover, it is still flowing upwards endlessly, and there is no human effect in the middle.

Everyone was dumbfounded watching this miraculous scene, and their hearts were inexplicably shocked.

From ancient times to the present, they only know that water flows to low places, but never thought that water can also flow to high places.

It is astonishing that a mere waterwheel can turn decay into magic.

"Oh! Turn the water wheel! Turn the water wheel!"

"The water wheel can really transfer water, the water wheel can really transfer water!"

"Great! Great..."

At this moment, the people watching on both sides of the river were completely excited.

There were bursts of heartfelt, overwhelming cheers and jumps from them.

The sound of joy is like a tide, one tide overwhelms the other, and it will last for a long time.

Many people wept with joy.

Hug and cry!

Very good!
that is really good!
Nothing can describe their excitement at this moment.

Everything before them is a miracle in their eyes!

If they hadn't seen and experienced it with their own eyes, they couldn't believe it at all.

There is such a convenient thing in the world that can continuously transport water to the farmland.

And from the beginning to the end, they don't need to expend any effort at all.

The water turning and overturning car was a complete success.

To a large extent, they will be freed from carrying water on their shoulders for irrigation!
This had a great impact and shock on their understanding.

The size of the world is indeed full of wonders.

At this moment, everyone's previous doubts had already disappeared, and some were just amazed.

It's different from adults.

Some half-grown children ran to the edge of the field one after another.

Put your hand into the drainage tank and feel the powerful impact of the river.

They blocked the river with their hands, and as a result, the river continued to overflow from the drainage channel.

Fun!

so fun!
The children are constantly playing in the water.

Silver bell-like laughter continued to emanate from their mouths.

These pure and simple laughter hit people's hearts directly. Infected by the children, the smiles on the faces of the adults became even bigger.

It's not just new to the little ones, it's new to them too!

The warm scenes are exhilarating.

In the hearts of the people, Liu Yi is like a god descending from heaven, who was specially sent by heaven to help them improve their lives.

Many people had tears in their eyes, and only hated that Liu Yi hadn't appeared by their side sooner.

Pei Yuanshao and others were also shocked.

Everyone cast admiring glances at Liu Yi.

Surprisingly, with a water truck, the river water can be easily and continuously introduced into the farmland.

From then on, people don't need to spend a little bit of effort, it's amazing!

Liu Yi's prestige in the hearts of everyone has once again increased.

Looking at the rejoicing people.

Liu Yi felt that everything was worth it!

These days, he has worked so hard to make waterwheels to ease the hard work of the people.

Now that the goal has been achieved and the people are satisfied, he feels that his efforts these days are meaningful!
Although his original intention was not to make waterwheels for the gratitude of the people.

But Liu Yi still feels very gratified to be recognized and appreciated by others after giving sincerely.
