I really don't want to be a rebel [infrastructure]

Zhuotong well is a method that only appeared in the Song Dynasty. Strictly speaking, this thing is relatively rare, but it is of great significance. It is called the fifth greatest invention in ancient China, and is even called the father of oil drilling in the world.

Even in later generations of oil mining, except for the use of high-tech equipment, the principle is the same as Zhuo Tongjing.

Zhuo Tsutsui is easy to say and difficult to say. First of all, what Luo Shixing needs to prepare is a drill bit, which is called a round blade file in historical records, and the shape of the drill bit is actually similar to a token. The most important thing is to be strong and have enough the weight of.

In addition, it is necessary to find enough thick bamboo to remove the middle bamboo joints, which is Zhuo Tsutsui's tube.

In addition to these two, there is also a sky-wheel block. The name seems a little strange, but in Luo Shixing's understanding, it is a water wheel without wipers and water cylinders, and it is still driven by manpower.

Then there is the mud fan. The so-called mud fan is actually something that fishes out the cuttings and fresh water in the well.

Because the mouth of the well is too small, people must not be able to go to the well to fish for these things, so the mud fan came into being.

The fan mud tube itself is also made of thick bamboo, and the most delicate part is that there is a one-way valve inside the fan mud tube, and a piece of leather money is placed at the bottom of the bamboo tube. The debris will flow into the fan mud tube, and when it is lifted up, the leather money will fall, just blocking the bottom of the bamboo tube, and the muddy water debris that entered the bamboo tube will be taken out.

This thing seems to be the world's first one-way valve in historical records. Luo Shixing made a calculation, and he made the appearance of the one-way valve a few hundred years earlier.

Not bad.

After Luo Shixing listed all the things he needed in the early stage, he handed them over to Cheng Jingwei.

Everything else is fine, as long as the drill bit is modeled according to what Luo Shixing said, the sky wheel block is similar to a water wheel, but it is not the same, especially there is something similar to a pedal underneath, Cheng Jingwei had to ask a few more questions .

Luo Shixing pointed to the pedal and said: "This thing is actually the same as the pedal of the keel waterwheel. It is to use this pedal to drive the sky wheel block to rotate, and then lift the drill bit down."

The thing connecting the drill bit and the sky wheel block uses a bamboo lock made of bamboo strips.

Cheng Jingwei couldn't help asking: "Is the bamboo rope too hard? Why not use rope? A thicker rope should be able to bear the weight of the file."

Luo Shixing explained: "This is to use the impact of the drill bit to drill the well. The rope is too soft, and it is easy to make the drill bit sway when going up and down, so it cannot be drilled at the same point. The bamboo rope is flexible enough and can also fix the drill bit. It is easier to use than a rope. .”

Cheng Jingwei nodded half-understood, but he was used to doing what the little lynx said when he didn't understand.

Seeing his appearance, Luo Shixing explained again: "The sky wheel block is not disposable. It has been there since it was placed on the well. After the salt well is dug, it will be used to fetch water. The water fetching cylinder is generally not very heavy. It is easy to float on the brine below, and if it is a bamboo rope, it can directly immerse the water extraction cylinder in the brine."

In other words, another function of the bamboo cable is to exert external force on the water intake cylinder. After all, water with high salt content also has high buoyancy.

These things are the wisdom of the ancestors, sometimes they can be replaced with more advanced ones, but sometimes it is the most appropriate to use them.

Cheng Jingwei took the picture he gave and went to arrange for people to do the work, and what Luo Shixing needed to do was to ask if there were any experienced old salt workers among the people sent by Alezhen.

The so-called old salt workers are people who can determine the location of salt wells according to the mountain situation.

It is not possible to dig salt wells in places where there is brine. It is necessary to find a suitable place, which is called Dumai.

If the pulse is not accurate, it is easy to form a leaky well or a dry hole.

The so-called leaky well is the seepage of water from the cave wall. This kind of seepage is usually fresh water. If it cannot be isolated, the brine mixed with fresh water will become a waste well.

The dry cave is the concentration of brine produced by the drilled well. If it does not meet a certain standard, it is equivalent to a dry cave, and such a well cannot produce salt.

Even if Luo Shixing used a relatively advanced drilling method, the time to drill a well would not be short. If the site was not selected properly, it would mean that all the early stages were wasted.

If not, Luo Shixing would have to ask Al for a loan, but if he really wanted to borrow, he would probably need to give something, such as technology sharing.

Luo Shixing will notify the bosses when he is doing these things.

He has now discovered that what he is best at is actually developing productivity, and he is not as good as these big bosses in handling external communication and internal personnel affairs. The combined age of his two lifetimes multiplied by two is not as old as these people. It's not a bad thing to ask for help before doing anything.

Just when he was immersed in Zhuo Tsutsui's affairs, the three people who were going to Fucheng had already set off on the road.

Now only Cui Shenji, Li Youdao and Pei Xingben are left in the manor.

Although they are all prime ministers, their focus is also different. Especially during the Gaozong period, the status of prime ministers was repeatedly suppressed, and even several prime ministers existed at the same time.

There will be a certain division of labor in the direction that each prime minister is responsible for.

Li Youdao looks very elegant, and his image is very consistent with the clear streams recorded in history, but his specialty is actually construction projects.

After hearing the Zhuo Tsutsui concept proposed by Luo Shixing, he couldn't help asking with interest: "Can you tell me more about it?"

Luo Shixing had no choice but to describe Zhuo Tsutsui's operation method in the simplest language.

The best thing about this thing is that except for the drill bit, the rest of the things can be used directly on the well.

The more Li Youdao listened, the more serious his expression became, and finally he said decisively: "This method is hard to find in the world, and it should not be easily leaked."

Luo Shixing was used to seeing good things in later generations, and Zhuo Tsutsui was actually considered backward in his opinion, but there was no way, the only thing he could choose now was this stuff.

But in the eyes of the current people, this thing sounds incredible, but once it succeeds, the value that comes with it cannot be measured by simple money.

Li Youdao made a decision on the spot and said: "When the construction starts, a fence will be built around the construction site. No one except the workers is allowed to enter or leave. If there is no one in the manor who is good at taking pulses, you can pay when you borrow someone from the county magistrate, but don't disclose the relevant information. Any news on this technology."

After Li Youdao finished speaking, he took a sad look at Luo Shixing. This little lynx was a treasure house, but this treasure house didn't know how to lock him.

After learning about it these few days, they all know that Ale really took a lot of good things from the little lynx, such as irrigation systems, waterwheel systems, and key points of farming.

These things are priceless!

What Luo Shixing brought out were those things that people had summed up after thousands of years of development, which were much more advanced than the current ones.

The aristocratic family is used to monopolizing the most advanced production tools, so their first thought was to keep this technology secret and not let others know.

Luo Shixing originally thought that the development of productive forces is necessary, and there will be development only when there is competition. Why do you compete if you have a monopoly?

However, the explanation given by Li Youdao is very sufficient, that is, these are good things and cannot be sold cheaply.

Luo Shixing was still able to accept this explanation, which was equivalent to selling patents in later generations. If research patents were not paid, would researchers be allowed to go hungry?

The more valuable the research is, the more money you can get, thus forming a virtuous circle is the best.

After Cheng Jingwei learned about it, he patted Mao Mao's head affectionately, and deeply understood that the so-called not being able to sell cheap was actually an excuse for the monopoly of the aristocratic family, and they would put a beautiful coat on their behavior in everything they did.

And how to measure the value of advanced technology?What kind of things can be exchanged for a cheap sale in their eyes?There is a lot to do here.

But this kind of thing is beneficial to them now, so Cheng Jingwei didn't expose it.

Anyway, the technology is in their hands, and they have the final say on who to exchange with and how to exchange it.

If Cheng Jingwei felt the need to promote it, he would not listen to the ideas of these aristocratic children.

The fundamental difference between him and these people is that those people focus on their own gains and losses, and only look at the world after their own family has no losses, while Cheng Jingwei's foothold from the beginning is all the common people.

For one's own people, it can be obtained at a small price, but for others, it needs to be discussed.

Luo Shixing doesn't need to worry about these things, he just needs to do what he wants.

Cheng Jingwei was very fast. He led his people to prepare the sky wheel block, drill bit, mud fan and sleeve, and waited to start transporting to Yantian.

Yantian also began to clear the field quickly. In fact, it was too easy for them to clear the field. They didn't need to build a wall. As long as the little lynx and the wolf walked there, no matter which elder's family was poking around, they would rush away scattered.

The fact that the wolves destroyed the homes of the two elders left a deep impression on people, and now it is really talking about the wolves turning pale.

Fortunately, Luo Shixing actually had an old salt worker here, and Ale really thought that Luo Shihang would definitely open a salt mine when he got more people, so he sent it here specially.

He didn't explain, just sent the person here, and Pei Xingben couldn't help but say something in such a way: "It can be regarded as a rare smart person in the south."

Cui Shenji commented indifferently: "After all, he has read books, so he is naturally different from those barbarians."

Luo Shixing didn't think too much about it, recorded this matter in his heart, and happily took people to Yantian.

Cheng Jingwei originally thought he was just going to have a look, but one day passed, two days passed, three days passed... ten days passed, and the little lynx did not come back.

He couldn't help but ran to Yantian and asked, "When do you plan to go back?"

Luo Shixing took it for granted: "Wait until the first salt well is opened and there is no problem."

Cheng Jingwei:? ? ?When will this be?
