With the idea of using wind and hydro energy, it is necessary to find professional talents to implement this idea.

"Go and bring Huang Zuyu, Ricardo and Ferreira, and say that I have something important to discuss." As soon as Yuan Chao entered his house, he ordered to see someone.

The soldiers who heard Yuan Chao's order did not dare to take the slightest responsibility, and immediately went to the workshop to find these people.

And Zhou Weihang, who had never understood what Yuan Chao wanted to do, also followed behind Yuan Chao, ready to see what Yuan Chao wanted to do.

After a while, Huang Zuyu took Ricardo and Pereira to the mansion.

"Hello owner."

"Oh, greetings, honorable owner." The three of them saluted Yuan Chao in turn.

"No need to be polite, today I invite you three busy people to come, I have an idea I want to share with you, and I also ask you to improve this idea with me." Yuan Chao waved his hand and began to talk to the three of them straight to the point.

After listening to Yuan Chao's words, Huang Zuyu also guessed what the owner meant.

And Ricardo and Ferreira were even more curious about what kind of whimsy the owner had in mind, as if they had never been able to guess the owner's thoughts, as if they could never guess why Yuan Chao would say that there was no need to be polite every time after they had finished their salutes.

"That's right, I know that the operation of our workshop has always stayed on the basis of manpower, so the efficiency has been limited, resulting in a lot of ordnance is still very slow, I am thinking, replace manpower with other forces." Yuan Chao gradually prepared to speak his mind.

"No manpower? With other powers? What force? Livestock? Huang Zuyu touched his head, secretly imagining the scene of the donkey coming to strike iron, and almost couldn't hold back his laughter for a while.

"Oh God, don't you use manpower, but with God-given power?" Ricardo and Ferreira wore crosses on their chests and words in their mouths.

Yuan Chao also touched his head, it seemed that if he wanted them to understand and accept it, it would take a gradual process.

"Well, I mean we can use other forces, like water, like wind."

"Hydropower, you can also think about a waterwheel. The waterwheel does not need to step on the waterwheel, and it can be lifted up in turn by relying on the drop, which is hydraulic power. ”

"In terms of wind, we sail with sails. If you think about it, when the wind is strong, it can even propel a big ship to sail at full speed all day long. Yuan Chao patiently explained these energies.

After such an explanation, whether it is Huang Zuyu or Ricardo and Ferreira, they all understand the meaning a little.

"Oh, the owner wants to use water as a driving force. And then push something to work, right? Huang Zuyu looked at Yuan Chao with shocked eyes.

"Your Excellency, you are right, if we can make good use of the power of the wind, we will save a lot of effort just like the rowers on the boat."

"Your Excellency, you are a genius." Ricardo and Ferreira seem to have understood the mystery.

Yuan Chao smiled. But he disrespectfully accepted the praise of genius.

"It's not enough to have big ideas, you have to find a way to turn them into reality."

"So now I need you to help me study how to turn my energy well." What Yuan Chao said is also very practical.

Such a question made everyone fall into thinking.

"The waterwheel needs a drop, but this Shaying River is a plain area, and the drop is very small."

"Then you can store water in the tributaries next to it and create an artificial drop." Yuan Chao thought about the problem and the solution by himself.

"You can learn from children's windmills, expand them dramatically, and when the windy season comes, the windmills must be driven to rotate and provide amazing energy." Yuan Chao slowly said the method as if he was asking and answering himself, enlightening these craftsmen.

Slowly, these craftsmen also found their way and began to propose some improvement measures.

"Learn to adjust your strength. When gravity is needed to build, you can put more water, and if you need less force, you can release less water. ”

"Windmills should be built in an open area, and they should pay attention to the direction of their wind." Gradually, some constructive ideas were put forward by everyone.

Zhou Weihang on the side was stunned when he heard it, he never thought that the workshop could create things and save effort like this.

……

In the following time, Yuan Chao either stuffed himself in the house, or he had been discussing something with Huang Zuyu, Ricardo and Ferreira.

After a mysterious period of time, the Yuan Dynasty finally felt that the time was ripe to build a sluice gate next to a tributary, and the itinerary was artificially dropped, so as to use the water energy.

In the open high place outside the Zhuangzi, the construction of a large windmill was started to test the use of wind energy.

After intense rush work, both projects were completed on schedule.

With the stroke of the water drop, the energy output is brought in, and then through the rotation like a waterwheel, another drill bit or hammer connected to the shore is driven, and the drill bit or hammer rotates by itself without human supervision.

"It's amazing, it's amazing." Huang Zuyu, who has lived so big and saw such construction for the first time, was really shocked.

The windmill also drives the rotation of the windmill blades when the wind rises, and then through the transmission of gears, it drives the tools at the other end of the connection, or the drill, or the hammer, which can also be rotated.

"Oh God, our Employer, His Highness, who has created an era in the Great Ming." Ricardo and Ferreira exclaimed in amazement.

The successful use of these energy sources also allowed Yuan Chao to see the technology that was ahead of the times.

In order to maintain a longer lead, secrecy measures must be in place, and on the spot of the success of the two projects, Yuan Chao issued a strict order that unless a very small number of loyal people involved in the project, other unrelated people, etc., are absolutely not allowed to approach these internal structures.

Since then, these two projects have blossomed near Chenzhuang, and next to each building, a small number of professional and loyal staff are operating, and these technologies have gradually become more mature and reliable in practice.

Gradually, it has developed into the ability to adjust the strength, the direction, the beating, the drilling, etc.

This also freed many craftsmen from the tedious and boring manual work, and began to have more energy to delve into the core components and core technologies.

The efficiency of production is also gradually improving, which can effectively feed the needs of the army. Even most of the time it is a state of affluence.

Yuan Chao was also very happy that he was able to come up with such a good way to improve productivity.

It is foreseeable that such an advantage is that their productivity has grown explosively, and they have begun to gain a greater lead in this era.
