Daqin Engineering Corps

Is that the end?

that's it?

Or when he noticed Shen Bing's puzzled expression, Zhang Ge said:

"Speech or incomprehensible."

"I'll know when I create one and try it out."

"As a craftsman, this kind of woodwork shouldn't be difficult."

Shen Bing: ...

What the hell? !

What the hell do you call this "not difficult"?

Still worried that I won't learn?

Isn't it just a lever?

It looks a bit like the gun tip of a trebuchet, the difference is that there is an extra stand so that the gun tip can turn left and right.

and many more……

Shen Bing asked suspiciously:

"What is this orange... used for?"

Zhang Ge looked at Shen Bing like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world, and replied with disdain:

"The drought here is so severe, and Juchao is built by the river, so it is naturally used to fetch water."

Shen Bing let out an "oh".

Then I felt wrong, such a lever can also draw water?

Could it be...

Shen Bing blinked, blinked, watching them tossing around with a helpless expression.

During the period, Wang Jian watched Shen Bing doing nothing and urged him:

"Has the engineer memorized everything?"

Shen Bing replied:

"Write it down, write it down."

Zhang Ge and the others finished their work after a while.

Sure enough, as Shen Bing thought, this is a lever that can move up, down, left, and right.

Then, Zhang Ge tied a large wooden barrel at one end and a stone at the other end.

Xu Yingchao introduced to everyone:

"The reason why the stones were tied is that we discovered that the power of the two ends can be balanced."

"So fetching water has the benefit of pulling a thousand catties."

"The amount of water that usually takes two people to lift can be easily lifted by one person with orange sticks."

Everyone praised, even though many of them didn't understand what Xu Ying was talking about.

Zhang Ge triumphantly raised his head towards Shen Bing and said:

"You have to look carefully."

"Don't drop your jaw in shock!"

As he spoke, he raised the tip of the barrel and moved it, and the barrel at the other end was turned into the river.

Zhang Ge operated the tip to continue lowering, and then a bucket of water was slowly lifted with a oscillating movement, and then rotated back to the shore.

Someone responded from the other end and poured the bucket of water into the ditch.

Everyone couldn't help but exclaimed in unison, and then said hello one after another.

Xu Ying also introduced:

"This thing can be operated by two people."

"If you have one on the left and one on the right, you can supply water to a ditch."

"Although the amount of water is small, if you assign people to take turns to operate it."

"The drought may be alleviated by continuously fetching water like this day and night."

Wang Jian was overjoyed and said:

"This thing is very good, I will order someone to imitate it immediately."

"Nei Shi has done a great job this time."

"Wang Jian thanked the internal history for the soldiers and civilians in the dry land of the three counties."

Wang Jian was good at official skills, so he naturally knew that what Xu Ying wanted was not a reward but the evaluation of the people, so he did what he liked.

Sure enough, Xu Ying was a little flattered by such a compliment. He stroked his beard and replied with a little complacency:

"Hey, what the general said is wrong."

"This is what I promised, so why should I thank you?"

"I just hope that in the coming year the common people will experience less suffering and less starvation, so that such old people will feel at ease."

Here, Zhang Ge looked at Shen Bing with challenging eyes and asked:

"how?"

"Do you know the usefulness of this orange?"

"Have you learned it?"

Shen Bing nodded with difficulty with his mouth half open, and replied:

"Know, know."

"I learned it, I learned it!"

At this time, there was a burst of cheers from the river, and Fatty Tun shouted excitedly:

"Master, it's done, the waterwheel is done!"

Cang also yelled:

"Brother, your method really works."

"What you said is indeed true, it really can scoop water up to a high place by itself!"

……

Shen Bing was speechless: I really didn't mean to embarrass you.

Chapter 85 水车

The cries of Fatty Tun and Cang are not important.

The important thing is that the water wheel has started to turn under the impact of the current.

It doesn't matter that the waterwheel starts to turn, what is important is that it still brings a tube of water when it turns.

Then a tube of water was poured into the wooden ditch extending to the side of it...the water flow was led into the ditch with a "squeak".

The originally dry and cracked ditches greedily sucked the river water, and after a while, they gradually regained their vitality as if they were alive.

Everyone was stunned, all staring at the waterwheel, even Xu Ying was no exception.

After a while, Xu Ying finally recovered his breath. He stared at Shen Bing as if frightened, and asked:

"Master, then... what is that?"

"Is that what you made?"

Shen Bing cupped his hands and replied:

"Internal history, this thing is called a waterwheel. It was made by my subordinates."

Xu Ying asked again:

"It can really scoop up water by itself?"

As soon as Xu Ying asked this question, he immediately knew that he had made a mistake.

Is it obvious that it has already been done?

So Xu Ying immediately changed the question:

"How did you do it? How did it work..."

Shen Bing replied:

"It's actually quite simple."

"It's nothing more than using the force of the impact of the water to make the waterwheel turn."

"When the water wheel turns, the bamboo tube can be brought up."

"Then……"

Shen Bing spread his hands towards the waterwheel, which meant that it was like this.

The principle is actually very simple, the key is whether you want it or not.

Shen Bing said it easily, but it shocked Xu Ying beyond compare.

He looked at Shen Bing, then at the waterwheel.

In the next second, he ignored the disciples who prevented him from taking off his shoes and going down to the river to observe the waterwheel at close range.

Wang Jian hurriedly called the soldiers to go down the river to protect them, and at the same time gave Shen Bing a look:

"Why didn't you say something like this earlier?"

"Let me wait and worry about the drought out of thin air."

What Wang Jian didn't say was:

You guy also made Xu Ying fall into a big stumble, look how embarrassing everyone is?

Shen Bing looked aggrieved:

"General, my subordinates don't know how important this waterwheel is!"

"Yes..."

These words almost made Wang Jian cry in anger.

This guy can do it.

I don't know the waterwheel is important?

This thing can get water to a high place, and it doesn't need manpower.

The drought in the three counties depends on it, the life and death of the people in the three counties depends on it, and the battle next year depends on it!

Still don't know the importance of waterwheels?

Isn't this intentionally shabby?

Yang Duanhe held back his laughter, and whispered to Shen Bing:

"Be more humble in your words later, lest Neishi lose face."

Shen Bing quickly replied:

"My subordinate understands."

Xu Ying, who was in the river, watched the waterwheel rushing away, unable to calm down for a long time.

Good stuff, good stuff!

It is possible to use the force of the water flow to rotate and lift the bamboo tube.
