Daqin: At the beginning, he revealed that he was a traverser, and Ying Zheng was paralyzed

In order to atone for his crime, Li Yi turned his mind very quickly.

"So, we need to use the gear structure to change the rotational force of the shaft to the vertical direction."

Chen Qing patiently explained.

While drawing the demo diagram, he was secretly delighted.

Look, it's getting better!

Chapter 14 The Dream of Iron and Steel Daqin

As night falls, thousands of households in Xianyang City are lit up.

Chen Qing had been escorted back to the palace by Zhao Chong, and the craftsmen in the mansion breathed a sigh of relief.

There are well-armored iron eagle swordsmen guarding the door, and if you want to escape, you will definitely not be able to escape.

They were obviously very exhausted, but none of them went back.

The backbone of the copper and iron shop called everyone together to discuss how to build the waterwheel proposed by Chen Qing overnight.

If they can't make it, they will all die.

Under the threat of death, everyone cheered up.

Sometimes quarreling, sometimes discussing, each expressing their views, the atmosphere is very lively.

In Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng also did not rest.

"Your Majesty, the painter copied the style of the waterwheel painted by Chen Qing."

"This is the record of the villain."

Zhao Chong put a bundle of bamboo slips and a piece of sheepskin with a drawing on the case.

Ying Zheng was very concerned about this matter, and immediately observed it in detail.

"Chen Qing intends to build a stone mill, but instead of being pulled by mules and horses, it is driven by the momentum of the river?"

There are many mistakes and omissions on the bamboo slips.

Although Zhao Chong had also read books, Chen Qing used weird words, some words were unheard of, and could only be replaced by typos.

Ying Zheng even guessed, and roughly figured out its principle.

He frowned, and remained silent for a long time.

There is a vague feeling that it is feasible to tell him this matter.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems like a fantasy.

The water of the Weihe River flows endlessly.

It can push the water wheel, and Ying Zheng is understandable.

But he couldn't figure out how to turn this top-down thrust into a well-behaved and obedient force that pushed the stone mill back and forth.

"Zhao Chong, do you think Chen Qing is sure about this matter?"

"The little guy doesn't know."

How dare Zhao Chong speak indiscriminately on such a matter.

"However... From the perspective of a villain, Chen Qing really has something to say. The craftsmen under him obeyed his words and were very convinced. It seems that he does have some skills."

"Your Majesty, Chen Qing also said that he would use this waterwheel to build armor, and the villain has already recorded it."

As Qin Shihuang's confidant, Zhao Chong knew what the emperor cared about.

"Oh?"

Ying Zheng smiled freely, but didn't take it seriously.

He turned over the bamboo slips, showing a look of anticipation: "It can also be used to thresh grains, and can also be used to grind flour and make armor. Then the Weishui River will become a river of gods?"

Ying Zheng thought about that wonderful scene, if Da Qin had such amazing skills, he would be even more powerful.

"All the materials needed for Chen Qing will be supplied by the palace, and there will be no shortage."

"The widow will give him this opportunity to see what the traverser is capable of!"

Zhao Chong hesitated to speak, he lowered his head and nodded respectfully: "No!"

-

The next day.

As the sun rose, Chen Qing was called up early by Zhao Chong.

"I said, the work and rest system of your Great Qin Dynasty is really anti-human."

"It's not daylight yet!"

Last night was Chen Qing's best night of sleep in Xianyang, and he also had a wonderful dream.

In the dream, countless water trucks were set up on both sides of the Weihe River, and there was an endless stream of convoys for transportation.

Chimneys stand tall in Xianyang City, and the billowing smoke covers the sky and the sun.

Steel mechs and chariots full of steampunk style spread all over the ground, surging like a torrent, heading in all directions.

"Your Highness, this is the Great Iron Qin I built."

Standing on top of the towering palace, Chen Qing, dressed in a handsome armor, showed Ying Shiman his masterpiece.

"With them, Daqin's flag will be planted in every inch of the earth."

Ying Shiman was shy and timid, her beautiful eyes sparkled: "Chen Lang, you are doing really well."

"Hey hey hey."

On the carriage, recalling the beautiful scene in his dream last night, Chen Qing couldn't help but giggle non-stop.

Zhao Chong turned away, and secretly wrote down on the bamboo slips: "At three o'clock in the Yin hour, Chen Qing and his ministers took a car out of the city, and suddenly he couldn't stop laughing to himself, or he might have a brain attack."

The iron eagle swordsman opened the way, and the travel was naturally unimpeded.

A group of hundreds of people came to the bank of the Weishui River.

"Where's the plumber?"

"The minister is here."

The officials in charge of water control didn't know Chen Qing's details, but seeing his extraordinary demeanor and being escorted by iron eagle guards, he thought it was some important person who had come, so he was very respectful.

"Accompany me for a walk and tell the truth about the water conditions of the Weihe River in recent years."

Chen Qing strolled along the desolate river, looking at the surrounding terrain.

"Yes."

The hydraulic engineer talked endlessly, telling the position of the waterline in the flood season and dry season every year.

Officials like him are mostly passed down from father to son, and from son to grandson, so there is absolutely no doubt about their professional quality.

Chen Qing walked along the river bank all the way, nodding repeatedly.

"Go look over there."

He was referring to a steep rocky beach on the river bank.

The drop is about three to five meters, which pales in comparison to the surrounding gentle terrain.

"When the water rises every year, where will the water go?"

"What about the dry season, where does the water fall?"

After asking about the situation, Chen Qing immediately knew what was going on.

He looked back and took a look at the distance between this place and the city gate, but it was only about seven or eight hundred meters.

"That's it!"

Chen Qing picked up a branch and drew a circle of a hundred square meters on the rocky beach.

"Commander Zhao, please call some folks to do some chores."

"Where is the mason?"

"Come on, I'll tell you how to do it."

After Chen Qing traveled through time, he worked as the owner of a copper and iron shop for several years.

Command the subordinates to work in an orderly manner.

First, the river channel was excavated to reserve sufficient space for the waterwheel.

Then lay the foundation for the mill, and build a stone wall on the side near the river to prevent the river from scouring.

The original craftsmen were still in their old profession, using the tools returned by Zhao Chong to erect the smelting furnace by the river again.

"Carpentry."

"did you see that?"

"The waterwheel is centered on the position I pointed to, and it is circular, and its shape is about the same as the spokes of a car."

Chen Qing conceived the structure of the mill in his mind, and pointed to a point in the void to sketch its general appearance.

"grown ups……"

"According to what you said, it must be at least five feet high and weigh a thousand catties."

"Such a big thing, can it really spin?"

The carpenter opened his mouth wide in shock.

Chen Qing grabbed him by the collar: "Whether it turns or not is my business, and whether it can be made or not is your business."

"Don't forget, I am a traitor appointed by His Majesty."

"You wear a pair of pants with me now, think more about what you should do."

The carpenter looked panic-stricken, lowered his head and hurriedly said: "My lord, remember this little one, I will definitely build the waterwheel for you."

"Isn't that right!"

Out of the corner of Chen Qing's eyes, he noticed a convoy of supplies coming out of the gate of the city. Several black and white goats were being driven, gnawing grass with their heads down from time to time, walking towards this side.

"Good days are coming!"

Chen Qing rubbed his hands, almost drooling.

"Li Yi, don't be too busy!"

"Build me a grass shed, hurry up!"

Chapter 15

The sun rises.

There are endless cars and horses in Xianyang City, which is very lively.

The endless supply vehicles drove towards the city gate from the inner treasury full of wood, grain, grass, and various tools, forming a long queue on the street.

I happened to meet Li Si on the way to court, and doubts arose in my heart.

"Go and find out where this convoy is going."

"promise."

Not long after, the attendant came back and reported: "Master, I have found out clearly that it is the supplies that Commander Zhao went to the inner treasury to collect. There are ten sheep, fifty high-grade fir trees, and three hundred catties of copper and iron materials. There are some grains and miscellaneous items in total. Enough to feed 100 people for three days."

Li Si's face immediately darkened: "Zhao Chong is confused!"

"Law of the Great Qin Dynasty: Those who are not nobles are not allowed to drink alcohol or eat meat."

"Why does he want ten sheep? They can't be eaten by themselves!"

Li Si has always been very concerned about Chen Qing's movements.

Therefore, when the craftsman from the copper and iron shop was released last night, he knew immediately.

Recalling that Zhao Chong stayed with Chen Qing inseparably in the past few days, Li Si knew that it was probably Chen Qing who did it.
