Throne of Vientiane Civilization
Chapter 258 Waterwheel
In the next period of time, considering that it was related to spring plowing, Zhou Xu asked Zhuang Mengdie to bring over all the people in the equipment department who had met the technical standards to help, in order to be able to give the water truck to the factory in the shortest possible time. made.
Although it was the first time for them to build the waterwheel, it would not be a problem if they could actually make every part of the waterwheel after it was taken apart.
In the case of sufficient manpower, the manufacturing efficiency cannot be slow.
The material is mainly lighter bamboo, and some wood is used to make parts. After a period of time, all parts will be completely completed soon.
Zhou Xu called two bullock carts and pulled all these parts to the side of the canal, so that they could install them directly after they were built.
The movement here has attracted the attention of many people.
But when everyone is plowing in spring, no one in this village is not busy. At most, they just take a second look when passing by, and then hurry up to do their own things.
During the period, Zhou Xu and the others ignored the gazes from the villagers and focused all their attention on the task in front of them.
First build the bracket. In order to ensure that their waterwheel can run stably for a long time, the bracket must be firm.
For this reason, Zhou Xu called the construction team over in advance to help.
From last year to now, they have built so many houses, and now they are very experienced in this area.
By the time their waterwheel was assembled, the construction team had already set up the brackets.
Next, the members of the equipment department headed by Zhuang Mengdie moved very neatly.
Considering that it is the waterwheel, the adhesive developed when making the bamboo bow is probably not easy to use, so after the design of the waterwheel fell into Zhuang Mengdie's hands, according to Zhou Xu's intention, Zhuang Mengdie It is to directly change its combination method to the mortise and tenon structure.
Some important parts will also be driven into wooden wedges to strengthen their firmness.
Based on the bracket, a whole waterwheel is quickly built.
At this moment, including Zhuang Mengdie, the members of the equipment department who have been busy all morning, looking at this thing that has kept them busy until now, don't know what to say for a while.
The expressions on each face can basically be used as 'then? ’ These three words fully sum it up.
Obviously, none of them knew what they were going to do next, and they didn't even know whether this thing would be considered finished. Question marks were written all over their foreheads.
Seeing this, Zhou Xu glanced at the two subordinates beside him.
"Go, pick up the bucket, and pour the water into the bucket after fetching the water."
After receiving the order, the two subordinates didn't dare to neglect, and hurried to fetch water with buckets.
During this period, Zhuang Mengdie's attention naturally fell on those two people.
Filled up two buckets of lake water, stood beside the waterwheel, and the two of them supported their bodies, and poured the water into the water bucket.
Soon, a burst of exclamation sounded from the crowd.
After pouring in the water, with the sound of 'click click', the water wheel turned slowly.
This makes those water buckets sink into the lake one by one, and in the process of turning, they continuously lead the water in the lake to the ditch!
This incredible scene made everyone in the equipment department exclaim frequently. Even when they saw it with their own eyes, they couldn't tell how it was done.
Among them, Zhuang Mengdie looked directly at Zhou Xu, with a pair of bright eyes full of curiosity.
"Boss, how did you do this?!"
Zhuang Mengdie's question made everyone prick up their ears unconsciously.
"Did you see the water bucket? After the water bucket is filled with water, the weight will change, which will make the water bucket sink and drive the water wheel to turn..."
Zhou Xu didn't use any vocabulary that primitive people would definitely not understand, and tried to explain this matter as simple and understandable as possible.
But even so, the vast majority of people still failed to understand the reasoning behind it, and only Zhuang Mengdie showed a thoughtful look on his face.
For Zhou Xu, this is enough.
The development and progress of a civilization depends on everyone's strength, but to lead a civilization to progress requires a small number, or even an extremely small number of talents.
And Zhuang Mengdie was undoubtedly among them.
As long as she can open up this idea, she can draw inferences about many related facilities in a short period of time.
At the same time, in the fields outside Heiyue Village...
After a period of time, the farmers headed by Zhao Geng have been able to skillfully control the plow and cultivate the land, and they are busy in the field at the moment.
At this moment, a farmer who was walking to drink water from a nearby shed, seemed to see something, suddenly changed his face, and immediately shouted...
"Water, there is water!!"
The shouting here quickly caught Zhao Geng's attention. He put down the plow directly and ran all the way to the side of the ditch.
At a glance, the canal, which has not been filled with water since it was dug, really has water gushing in at this moment.
This discovery made Zhao Geng subconsciously look up at the source of the canal.
Their leader built a waterwheel at the source. This is not a secret in Heiyue Village, Zhao Geng could not have known about it.
It's just that he has always been a pragmatist. The people in the equipment department over there are building waterwheels, and he can't help much by standing next to them. On the side of their farming team, there is a large area of land waiting for them to reclaim and cultivate.
If I have time to stand there and join in the fun, I might as well plow a few more fields, until now...
"Lake water, lake water is pouring in!"
At this moment, Zhao Gengyi became excited, shouting while running.
As the minister of the Ministry of Agriculture, it is impossible for him not to know how much convenience the diversion of water into the canal can provide for their farming work!
At this moment, Zhao Geng, who had been busy all morning, seemed to have endless strength, so he ran to the waterwheel in one breath.
At this moment, the waterwheel has been running 'squeaky', and more lake water is continuously being introduced into the ditch.
Zhao Geng was amazed by the running waterwheel. How was this thing made? He couldn't imagine it at all.
"How is it? This is the second best thing I prepared for you!"
Seeing Zhao Geng ignoring Zhuang Mengdie who was already in deep thought, Zhou Xu walked over with a smile.
"It's amazing, it's amazing, leader! How did you do it?!"
While speaking, Zhao Geng bowed directly to Zhou Xu. Apart from kneeling, he no longer knew how to express his admiration to Zhou Xu at the moment.
Seeing this, the members of other equipment departments around followed suit and knelt down.
Although the waterwheel was considered to be made by them, everyone knows who is really capable!
