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

"Li Yi, kill another sheep, I haven't had enough yet!"

Chen Qing shouted triumphantly.

puff.

Li Yi just stood up and sat back down.

Still kill?

Master, you are not afraid of death, so don't drag the little one down!

Chapter 17

For several days in a row, the wind and the sea were calm.

Ying Zheng and the ministers seemed to have temporarily lost interest in Chen Qing and stopped paying attention to his movements.

Chen Qing was also happy to be at leisure.

With the official launch of the project, the manpower gradually cannot make ends meet.

Zhao Chong transferred two hundred craftsmen and five hundred civilian husbands from other places.

Even he couldn't help but sweat for Chen Qing.

Such a laborious work, wasting countless money and food, if it is finally found to be a scam, I am afraid that a thousand cuts will not be able to relieve the hatred in the heart of the first emperor.

As for the parties themselves...

"What are you doing poking around there?"

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

Chen Qing sat cross-legged under the thatched shed, beckoning to the water worker.

"Do you want to eat dates? Or a piece of radish?"

The low table in front of him was filled with fresh seasonal melons and fruits.

Some were picked from the wild, and some were bought with borrowed money from Zhao Chong.

Everyone got up to work before dawn every day, and they only returned after wearing the stars and wearing the moon.

Fortunately, Chen Qing was as comfortable and leisurely as a spring outing.

"The villain has something, I don't know whether to say it or not."

The water engineer said cautiously.

"speak!"

"I don't need so much red tape. We are all grasshoppers on the same rope, so we should work together."

Chen Qing said carelessly.

The plumber is full of black lines.

Again!

I'm really in your boat!

"The villain thinks that since the waterwheel that the adults are going to make is driven by water power, it is bound to be fast when the water is big, and slow if the water is small."

"If it catches up with the rapid flow of water during the flood season, it may cause damage to the waterwheel."

Chen Qing nodded solemnly: "What do you think?"

"The villain thinks, why not add a gate to the excavated ditch."

"Although some artificial materials will be consumed, the priority of the water flow can be controlled by the gate..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Qing stood up excitedly.

"Wonderful!"

"You are so talented!"

Chen Qing patted the water worker heavily on the shoulder: "Just do as you say! I'll go to Mr. Zhao to get the materials, and you just go ahead and do it!"

"promise."

The hydraulic engineer's mood was indescribably complicated.

If you are praised, of course you will be happy.

However, the person who praised him, Chen Qing...

Doesn't it mean that he and the traitor are getting closer?

He smiled bitterly, turned around and went down the river beach, shouting for the civilian husband to adjust the construction.

"My lord! My lord!"

"The small model you want is made!"

"The little one is finally done!"

The carpenter was ecstatic, and quickly ran towards the grass shed holding a wooden pallet.

"it is done?"

Chen Qing was surprised and delighted.

The craftsmen of the copper and iron shop had a thorough understanding of his intentions after several years of training.

But the woodworkers and stoneworkers sent by Zhao Chong were different.

They can't understand some vocabulary or words, and the efficiency of doing things is naturally greatly reduced.

This carpenter is one of the "elm bumpy heads" identified by Chen Qing.

"Lord, please see."

"The villain worked without sleep for three days and three nights, and finally made this thing."

"If there is a mistake, the villain will go back and correct it."

The carpenter bowed and lifted the tray high.

"Let me see."

Chen Qing took a look and felt that this thing looked decent.

To build a water mill in later generations, anyone with a little hands-on ability can do it by DIY even if they don't ask others.

But in the Great Qin Dynasty, this was really a big project.

In order to prevent mistakes, Chen Qing specially ordered the carpenter to make this scale model.

"Waterwheel, shaft, this is a bronze turntable."

"There is a grinding plate on the top, and there is a hole in the middle, so that the turntable and the stone mill can be fixed together by bolts."

"Oh, you've got the middle steering gear done too."

This model is exquisitely crafted with great attention to detail.

At the beginning, Chen Qing's idea was to drive the shaft with hydraulic power and put the turntable on top.

The shape of the entire transmission mechanism is roughly a '?' shape, which drives the stone mill below to run.

But the craftsmen came to him the next day and told him that this thing was 'hugely powerful' and might hurt people's lives.

Then put forward the '?' type of program.

Put the main shaft, gear, and turntable all under the floor.

As long as the space is reserved in advance, future maintenance will not be troublesome.

And it can also solve the problem of inconvenient feeding.

If the turntable is at the top, the feed port must be set very high, and it is very laborious to carry it by manpower.

But if only one person is tall, it is much more convenient.

Chen Qing was overjoyed immediately, and asked the craftsmen to implement according to their ideas.

Zhao Chong heard the carpenter's shout and stared at the model intently: "Is this the waterwheel?"

It doesn't look too complicated, but it has an indescribable beauty.

"Let's go, let's go experiment."

"It's a mule or a horse coming out for a walk."

Chen Qing held the model in his hands like a baby, and shouted back: "Commander Zhao, please fetch a bucket of water."

"Oh."

Zhao Chong was not surprised.

Chen Qing is the most courageous person he has ever met in his life, and he has not been ordered to order him once or twice, and gradually he has become accustomed to it.

In an open space not far away.

Chen Qing did it himself and drew a shallow ravine with a wooden stick.

The carpenter carefully placed the model so that the waterwheel stood in the middle of the channel.

"Are you ready?"

"Okay... okay."

"Commander Zhao, pour water!"

Chen Qing gave an order, and the clear Wei River water poured into the canal, stirring up white foam.

The carpenter didn't dare to show his atmosphere, he held down the base of the model, and stared at the spreading water.

at last……

Under the impact of the water flow, the small water wheel shook slightly twice, and then turned rapidly.

The rotating shaft moves accordingly, slowly rotating with the gear at the end.

Its teeth are slender and fit perfectly between the slots of the turntable perpendicular to it.

In this way, every time the gear on the rotating shaft rotates, its gear teeth will move the turntable and rotate accordingly.

On the grinding plate, a small stone mill also turned.

"Turn around!"

"Turn, turn, turn!"

"It's done, it's done!"

Chen Qing and the carpenter yelled and jumped up and down on the spot.

Zhao Chong looked shocked. He couldn't believe that after such a simple transformation, the water flow actually turned the stone mill.

"You're a fucking talent!"

"Everyone in my Great Qin is talented, hahaha!"

Chen Qing looked up to the sky and laughed wildly.

He has always shown others that he is not surprised by favor or humiliation, and that he is indifferent to life and death, but why is he not under great pressure in his heart?

If the waterwheel cannot be built, there is no way to prove to Ying Zheng that he is a traverser.

Not only is he going to die, but all his subordinates are going to die.

Moreover, the rebellion between Li Si and Zhao Gao might happen in another way in the future.

The fate of Daqin will once again perish for the second generation as recorded in the history books.

'It's all here, let's do something. '

'Even if I really want to die, I have to leave something behind. '

Chen Qing stared at the spinning waterwheel with burning eyes, and the thoughts in his heart became firmer.
