But the stove is heavy, if it is pushed and pulled like this, wouldn't it be more laborious than forging?

Isn't that taking off your pants and farting!

"I figured it out!"

"I finally remembered!"

"Just add leverage!"

Chen Qing suddenly shouted happily.

It is really difficult for a traverser to move without a golden finger.

Such a simple matter can only be solved by the reminder of his subordinates.

Just add a seesaw in front of the sledgehammer that Li Yi said.

When the hammer falls, the seesaw will naturally fall to the ground.

Didn't the other end hold it up high?

When the seesaw falls to the bottom, the hammer slides down...

Boom!

As long as a forging hammer is added to the other end, the hydraulic forging equipment is created!

"Li Yi, go get a sheep."

"And you, go and lead one too."

"This is your reward."

Chen Qing ordered immediately.

"East..."

Li Yi has already had a psychological shadow on animals like sheep, and he seems hesitant.

"What time is it, you are still afraid of this and that."

"You don't want me to eat it."

Chen Qing said impatiently.

"Yes, thank you, Master."

"Thank you, Master."

The two happily saluted and thanked each other.

The rest of the people couldn't help casting envious glances.

There were a hundred of them, even if Chen Qing tried his best to take care of them, it was impossible for them to eat the mutton openly.

Besides, stonemasons can build stone mills and millstones tomorrow. If the waterwheel can't be built, I don't know if there will be a stop.

Chen Qing was in high spirits, and was about to tinker with the model of the forging equipment.

Zhao Chongruo was thoughtful, followed behind and couldn't help asking: "I heard what those two craftsmen said, it's all nonsense. Why do you still want to reward them?"

"Commander Zhao."

Chen Qing turned around and patted him on the shoulder heavily.

Hard, extremely solid, worthy of being a martial arts practitioner.

"A great man in later generations said that the power of the working people is infinite."

"You have to trust the masses and rely on the masses."

"From the masses, to the masses."

"I need to go first."

After Chen Qing left, Zhao Chong stood still and frowned.

Working people, strength is infinite...

The sky is big and the earth is big, and the emperor is the biggest.

Princes, generals and ministers, which one is not more valuable than 'people'?

"This is disrespectful!"

He hastily took out his small notebook and wrote down Chen Qing's rebellious words again.

Chapter 20 The choice of fate

The next day, the morning light was twilight.

When Chen Qing came to the construction site, the craftsmen had already been busy for more than half an hour.

"My lord, the stone mill and mill have been built, please check."

The mason was covered in dust and fine stone slag, his eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was very haggard.

The stone mill used in the water mill is more than three times larger than the ones seen in daily life. It is all thanks to dozens of them hammering it out one by one. The workload can be imagined.

Seeing that other people have completed the work at hand one after another, the stonemasons dared not sleep for several days and nights, and worked hard to rush out the stone mill.

"Walk."

"Hey, the waterwheel has already started to be assembled."

Chen Qing walked to the bank of the river, only to find that the carpenters had already assembled the lower part of the waterwheel.

It is fixed on the bracket in a semicircular shape like a sliced ​​pie.

Some peasants walked back and forth in the pulpy mud, helping the carpenter install the baffle on the outermost edge of the waterwheel.

Although it is a semi-finished product, its huge size has attracted the attention of many people.

Passers-by stopped, stood by the river and pointed.

"Boss, go and see if the gears we installed are firm or not."

Li Yi was sweating profusely as he stumbled and trotted over.

"Okay, let's take a look together."

Chen Qing walked to the center of the construction site and stopped to look around.

Two bullock carts, carrying a heavy stone mill and a huge millstone respectively, stopped aside.

The four wheels were sunk deep into the soil, enough to show the weight of the two stone bumps.

One end of the yew has been placed in the center of the waterwheel, the middle part is supported by a U-shaped bracket, and the other end is put on a bronze gear.

Copper blacksmiths and carpenters worked together to beat and beat on it, trying to make the two fit firmly.

"What are you still doing, install the turntable."

"Be careful, don't hurt anyone."

When Chen Qing was not present, everyone was in a state of panic and had no idea at all.

When he arrived at the scene, the mood of the craftsmen suddenly calmed down.

Under Chen Qing's command, the turntable was carefully moved by more than a dozen people into the preset stone pit.

"Boss, close it!"

"The gears are engaged!"

"It's all right!"

Seeing the two huge bronze gears vertically and horizontally, with their long tooth tips stably biting together, the copper blacksmiths suddenly burst into cheers.

Chen Qing nodded.

These people!

As long as the gears are fine, it's none of their business.

But I am different!

No matter where there is a mistake, Qin Shihuang will not spare me.

"Don't be too happy."

"The stoneworker first fixes the card slots on the ground."

"The carpenter prepares the pile, and you have to set it up immediately when you roll the pan later."

The bottom of the whole device resembles a stone wine bottle.

The bronze turntable is inserted into it, and then the milling disc is placed on it, and finally the stone mill is installed.

The sun rose high.

The bright autumn sun shone on the black and red faces of the craftsmen and peasant husbands, and crystal sweat slipped from their chins, but no one bothered to wipe it off.

Standing aside, Zhao Chong quietly watched more than 40 civilian men lift up the huge grinding plate, and moved towards the direction of the rotating shaft step by step while chanting.

At this moment, an indescribable throbbing suddenly surged in his heart.

The strength of the working people is infinite.

What Chen Qing said yesterday echoed in his heart over and over again.

He didn't know why, but he had a faint feeling that something terrible was hidden inside.

boom!

There was a loud bang, and the ground trembled slightly.

A small bronze column protruded from the round hole in the center of the milling pan.

"That's right! That's right!"

"Carpenter, brace the stakes!"

"Hurry up!"

A total of seven NO.80 people surrounded this big guy.

Chen Qing gave an order, and the carpenters, holding thick wooden stakes more than one meter long, scrambled to get under the milling plate.

It may weigh more than 3000 catties. If it overturns, the people underneath will be smashed into a pulp.

In the case of extreme mental tension, the carpenter erected the pile as quickly as possible, and then adjusted the height with wooden blocks, trying to support the roller firmly.

"Is everything all right?"

"Pack it up and spread it out immediately."

"Get ready for the stone mill!"

The carpenters withdrew from under the milling pan one after another, wiping off a cold sweat with lingering fear.

At this moment, Chen Qing began to call the civilian husband again, preparing to install the last major component.

"Moo..."

The two cattle were whipped, and with the help of the peasants who pushed and pulled, they pulled the cart with all their strength, and then leaned against the edge of the roller.

"Carpentry, build a tripod!"

The millpan is like a thin flatbread, with enough space for thirty or forty people to stand on the edge, and it is still possible to carry it by hand.

The stone mill is small in size, but it is a solid stone lump.

Chen Qing took back the pulley used for the copper and iron shop from Zhao Chong, and then used a rope to pass it through the round hole in the middle of the stone mill.

Some people are responsible for lifting, and some people are responsible for pulling with ropes, so that the installation work can be completed.

"rise!"

Seeing that everyone was ready, Chen Qing shouted loudly.

"Yeah~!"

Li Yi and the others firmly grasped the hemp rope, gritted their teeth and pulled back desperately.

And the carefully selected strong civilian husbands also exerted their strength at the same time.
