legend begins with lord of the rings

Looking at the pairs of eyes that were seeking knowledge, Abel felt as if he had become a preacher. If all students could be like the Haigs and the mayor now, then being a teacher would actually be quite a blessing.

The waterwheel model on the table is not too complicated, and the internal structure of the waterwheel can be clearly seen in the gaps between the wood pieces.

Abel took a small bucket of water from the table and came to the water wheel.

As the clean water is poured into the water tank placed on the running wheel of the waterwheel, the clear water flowing through the channel drives the running wheel. The groove in the running wheel carries a part of the clean water to the highest point, and then the water flows down from the side of the wheel.

The water flowing out is carried away by the prepared conduit, and one end of this conduit can be used to draw water.

On the other side of the waterwheel, the running wheel drives the gear, and a hammer tool automatically starts hammering.

Just looking at this waterwheel model can only make people who have never seen it feel a bit magical and have no idea what it represents.

"Now that we've seen the model of how a waterwheel works, if we scaled up this model a hundred times and made it bigger than a house, the water intake from these grooves could be measured in barrels.

Imagine how much water can be taken from the river if this wheel keeps running. This water is connected to the town through bamboo tubes for drinking water, and can also be connected to farmland for irrigation.

Of course, if you don’t need so much water, you only need to put down the conduit, so it needs to be movable when making it.”

"Let's talk about the hammer. I won't go into the principle. The mayor can study it slowly after he gets back. Let's mainly talk about its use now. This hammer can be used to strike iron, Li Mi...

And here, stand this gear up and connect a millstone here...

It’s very convenient for grinding flour and soy milk.”

What is the most grueling job in the town? It must be grinding and blacksmithing. This kind of work that requires repetition for a long time is a test of endurance.

The town should use donkeys to pull the mill, but through Abel's understanding during this period, donkeys are more valuable than people here. And not every house has a donkey.

The mayor became excited when he heard this, and now his eyes are shining when he sees the waterwheel.

“When it comes to manufacturing this waterwheel, the main material must be strong and durable, especially the gears and transmission rods inside, which must be made by experienced blacksmiths.

The function of gears and transmission rods: mainly they can convert the kinetic energy of the river into mechanical energy, and the mechanical energy is converted into kinetic energy again through these levers. The hammer used to work relies on this last kinetic energy."

Abel accidentally brought up his professional knowledge. Seeing that the four people present were all confused, he shook his head slightly and closed his mouth.

Picked up the translated manual from the table and handed it to the mayor: "If you don't understand, you can read the manual more. It is best to find a few knowledgeable people to study together.

I also have some designs for improved farm tools, which can be completed by tomorrow night. After they are completed, I will ask Hei Li to send them to you."

The mayor took the instruction manual, and Abel motioned to the mayor to put away the waterwheel model and go back to study it slowly.

When the table was cleared again, Abel picked up the tape recorder, tapes and other items.

"Let me talk about this expander first. It is actually a large speaker. There is a switch here, which can be turned on to amplify the sound. There is also a button here which is the recording key, which can barely record a few sentences."

Abel said, turning on the loudspeaker to record: "I am Abel, an adventurer, and I will be a man who will become an adventure king in the future."

After the recording ended, the loudspeaker was turned on, and Abel's voice came out of the loudspeaker.

Then Abel handed the megaphone to Haig and asked him to actually operate it. After Haig actually operated it, he handed it to the next one... Finally, the wizard also curiously took the megaphone.

…

"The next thing I'm talking about is the tape recorder. It can record and play. The specific operation is similar to the operation of a loudspeaker.

This is rewinding, this is fast forwarding, this is pausing, this is changing tapes..."

"Finally, these appliances are powered by batteries. If you turn on the appliance and it doesn't respond, it's probably out of power and the battery needs to be replaced.

If it still doesn’t work after replacing the battery, it’s probably dead.”

This time Abel brought two tape recorders down. He handed one to Haig and the other to Gandalf.

The two tried to operate the tape recorders, and the tapes in these tape recorders already had stories recorded by Abel. Everyone was surprised to operate the tape recorders. After they all learned how to operate the tape recorders, one was left to play the story.

Everyone continued to eat dinner.

The mayor was now in a hurry to go back and study the waterwheel, and he was full after a while. He called two guards in, and the three of them took the waterwheel model and left carefully.

"By the way, try not to touch these electrical appliances with water. The parts inside are easily damaged by water."

"Battery should be stored in a cool and dry place."

…

While eating, Abel talked about some precautions when using electrical appliances.

The meal lasted for more than an hour and finally ended. Before Gandalf left, Abel gave the tape recorder he was holding to the wizard, and took out a few batteries and some recorded tapes.

A smile appeared on Gandalf's face. It seemed that he liked the tape recorder quite a lot.

After leaving his things behind, Abel continued to work on the second floor. Although it seemed that he was not in a hurry, Abel was not a person who liked to leave everything until the end.

…

The next day, Abel finished translating the drawings in the morning and wrote the hotel's planning document in the afternoon.

By evening, more than fifty stories had been recorded. Including the stories he had recorded one after another before, there were nearly two hundred stories in total.

After calling Heili, we found out that Gandalf hadn't left the house all day.

Abel ate something and asked Hei Li to take away the newly recorded tape and other things. Finally, he specifically asked him to send a copy of the tape to the wizard.

After dinner, Abel rested for a while and decided to work overtime in the evening. No matter how much he could record today, he would definitely not record tomorrow.

My throat can't stand it.

…

Early in the morning on the third day, Abel exchanged more than 2,000 famous names into batteries, and there were more than 100 batteries.

There are a bunch of batteries on the table. If you use them sparingly, they should last for a year...

Yes, that’s all Abel’s initial investment in Godot Town, and the rest is waiting to gain popularity every day.

When Hei Li was called to get the battery, Haig stopped Abel. The "rookie" selection was coming to an end, with only twenty people left. In the end, ten people would be eliminated, so Haig decided to hand over this issue to

Abel.

I followed Haig to the room behind the stage, where there were twenty people standing neatly, including men, women, and children. They all looked at Abel who walked in with admiration.

"Thank you for participating in this "Stage Rookie Show" selection. The fact that you are standing here now speaks volumes about your excellence.

Next, please give yourselves a little applause." Abel said with a smile.

The twenty contestants clapped excitedly.

"Because this is the first selection, we only plan to recruit ten people this time. Those who remain in the end will directly join the "Literary and Art Department" of Haig Hotel. They need to perform on stage every seven days, just like what I did before.

Let's go to the final elimination round, you have a 1/2 chance of staying.

Okay, please start your performance."

After Abel finished speaking, he paid no attention to the group of excited "rookies".

From Abel's point of view, these people are basically the same, and anyone can be chosen. He deliberately did not arrange the order of performances for them, which was actually a test.

The first person to stand up, no matter how good his performance is, will definitely be kept. This is Abel's reward for the brave.
