Early the next morning, Zheng San came to the Jiedu Embassy with a large group of carpenters and blacksmiths early in the morning, which was the task assigned to him by Zhao Ziliang last night. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"The villain waits to meet the big handsome!" The craftsmen bowed to Zhao Ziliang at Zheng San's signal.

Zhao Ziliang smiled and raised his hand and said: "All the masters get up, you are the treasures of our Tingzhou, there is no need to be polite here!" ”

"Thank you, Dashuai!"

After the craftsmen got up, Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "Masters, I brought you here this time because I want you to do something."

Everyone: "Please command!" ”

"Well, you've all seen watermills, right? I reckon some of you may have done it yourself," Zhao Ziliang asked.

"Yes, Dashuai!"

Someone else said: "If you go back to the big handsome, the villain has only made a waterwheel!" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded and said, "Since you have all seen the waterwheel, and some people have done it yourself, do you know why the waterwheel can send water to the fields?" ”

One craftsman replied, "Yes, you have to tread a water wheel by hand to get water to the fields!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Water itself has power, water always flows low, and flowing water can push the waterwheel to rotate without manpower stepping on it, so can we use the power of water and let it pull or push heavy objects?" ”

The craftsmen suddenly whispered, and one craftsman said: "Dashuai, the villain thinks it should be feasible!" ”

Zhao Ziliang looked at the man, suddenly became interested, and asked, "Oh, what's your name?" ”

This is a middle-aged carpenter, he touched his head embarrassedly, and replied: "The villain doesn't have a big name, and everyone else calls me Chen Mazi."

Zhao Ziliang noticed that there were many potholes on the middle-aged carpenter's face, and this is how the name of Dare to Love Mazi came from, and he felt a little funny in his heart, and said: "Then why do you think it is feasible?" ”

Chen Mazi said: "I heard that the threshing machine used in Beiting is made under the guidance of the big handsome, if the power of the foot is replaced by the force of the water impact, and then the pedal is replaced by the impeller of a waterwheel, the roller of the threshing machine can also be rotated, and the same way, if the transmission rod on the threshing machine is replaced by another device, it can pull up the heavy object, but the villain has not thought of how to make such a transmission device."

Zhao Ziliang knew that his brain was more flexible than other craftsmen after listening to Chen Mazi's words, so he asked, "Chen Mazi, are you sure to make such a device?" ”

Chen Mazi scratched his head, "This ・・・・・・ this ・・・・・・ villain can't say for sure, so he can only do his best."

"Good!" Zhao Ziliang slapped the table, and immediately clapped the board and said: "These people are all under your control, what you need, how much money you spend, you can ask Master Zheng for it, he will fully support you, I only have one request, make this transmission device as soon as possible!" ”

"No!" Chen Mazi was very excited, but he thought about it and asked: "The villain dares to ask, I don't know how many heavy objects the big handsome has to pull!" ”

Zhao Ziliang thought about it, and was not afraid of revealing secrets, and said: "Okay, since you asked this question, I will tell you all!" You all know that the armor worn by our lieutenant generals and colonels is now woven with hemp rope from pieces of armor leaves, there are gaps between the armor leaves, and the defense against arrows is limited. ”

The crowd replied, "Yes!" ”

Someone else followed Zhao Ziliang's words and said: "If the iron plates on the front and back are thick enough, the arrows are almost impenetrable, and the generals will be fine as long as the torso and head of the body are not injured, unless some unlucky ones are shot in the throat and eyes!" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Yes, so I want to make this kind of armor with iron plates before and after, I call it plate armor, but now if you want to cast a plate armor, you can only rely on the blacksmith to hammer it with an iron hammer, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also the iron plate is also uneven, affecting the appearance!" But if the iron pier weighing 1,000 catties or thousands of catties is pulled to a high place and then falls vertically, a piece of red-hot steel that is placed below should be pressed into a steel plate, and the steel plate stamped out by this stamping method can be used to make plate armor, and in order to ensure that the stamped steel plate conforms to the shape we need, it should be a good mold on the iron pier that is used to support stamping on the ground, so that the steel plate that is stamped out does not need to be processed again, and can be directly used to make plate armor・・・・・・".

The craftsmen listened to Zhao Ziliang's words, and the more they listened, the brighter their eyes became, and Zhao Ziliang's words opened up their thinking limitations to a certain extent.

"I see!" Chen Mazi patted his head and said: "Dashuai means to use the power of the water flow to pull the steel plate needed for the stamping of the iron pier weighing thousands of gold, not only the steel plate, as long as the steel castings we need, they can be stamped in this way, as long as the corresponding mold can be made that can withstand stamping!" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded and smiled: "Yes, that's what it means!" The casting of large steel molds is not difficult, the difficulty is how to use the power of the water flow, in fact, the wind power can also be used, the key is to see if this transmission device can be made! Chen Mazi, I want you to be in charge of this matter, what do you think? ”

Chen Mazi heard that Zhao Ziliang actually handed over such an important thing to him to do, although he himself was not very confident, but he was still very excited, this is a kind of affirmation to be recognized and recognized, he said excitedly: "Since the handsome hand over such an important thing to the villain, the villain will not hesitate to go to the soup!" ”

Zhao Ziliang encouraged: "Okay, I'm looking forward to your good news!" ”

After explaining this matter, Zhao Ziliang didn't care much about it, this winter was very comfortable, although it snowed a lot in various parts of Beiting, but because he had deployed preparations for winter in the military and political circles of Beiting before the winter, all localities did a good job in preventing cold and wintering and dealing with emergency affairs, although the snow fell heavily this winter, it did not cause the collapse of houses, cowsheds, stables and sheepfolds, and there was no time for the collapse of military camps, herdsmen and farmers' houses and tents, There were no casualties or livestock accidents, because the cold was well prepared, and the forage and food were sufficient, no personnel and livestock froze to death or starved to death!

Just after the end of the year, Chen Mazi, who was ordered to take the craftsmen to develop the transmission device, couldn't wait to come to the Jiedu Embassy to ask for a meeting, Zhao Ziliang heard that Chen Mazi was coming, and said that the transmission device was made? He immediately put down his official duties and met with Chen Mazi.

"Chen Mazi, it's just over the New Year, you came to see me, is your transmission device made?"

Chen Mazi said excitedly: "Yes, Dashuai, we have finally made the transmission device after more than half a month of repeated pondering."

Zhao Ziliang stood up happily and said, "What? Made so quickly? Where, take me to see it! ”

"Dashuai, the villain brought it!"

"Brought?"

In Zhao Ziliang's puzzled gaze, Chen Mazi beckoned outside, and several craftsmen each took a few things in, first of all, a wooden basin, some wooden models were spliced and installed in the large wooden basin, and the safety was completed, Chen Mazi carried a pot of water and said to Zhao Ziliang: "Boss, please look!" ”

After speaking, Chen Mazi fell down with the kettle, the water flow hit an impeller, the impeller rotated, driving the transmission rods on both sides of it, the transmission device is not very complicated, it looks very simple, but it is such a simple thing If you can't think of it, you can't convert the power of the water flow into power.

An iron rotor is pulled up under the pull of the transmission rod, and then falls freely, is pulled up again, and falls freely, so repeatedly and endlessly, because it is worn on a fixed smooth iron rod with oil, so its activity is restricted, can only rise up and down and can not move left and right, which ensures the stability of the stamping.

Zhao Ziliang asked, "How much does this Tietuo weigh?" ”

"Ten pounds!"

"Oh?" At this time, Zhao Ziliang was very surprised, the impact of the water flowing from the spout of a pot of water can pull a ten-pound hammer after passing through the transmission device?

"This little box uses a labor-saving device, right?"

Chen Mazi said: "Yes, Dashuai, if you don't use a labor-saving device, you can't pull such a heavy object!" These are just tricks, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning! ”

"Good, good!" Zhao Ziliang patted Chen Mazi on the shoulder and said, "Chen Mazi, this is not a strange trick, it is a great achievement!" Your contribution is not small, if you can make a real thing to really use the power of water flow in stamping technology, this is a thing that will go down in the ages! If that's later, I'll reward you now, come on! ”

A personal guard walked in outside the door and hugged his fists and said, "What do you command?" ”

"Go and get Master Zheng!"

"No!"

After a while, Zheng San walked in under the leadership of his own soldiers, bowed to Zhao Ziliang and said, "See the general!" ”

Zhao Ziliang pointed at Chen Mazi and said to Zheng San: "Lord Zheng, Chen Mazi and the craftsmen have made a transmission device that can use the power of the water flow, making stamping technology possible!" Chen Mazi will be rewarded with 200 pieces, and other craftsmen will be rewarded with 50 pieces! ”

Zheng San was stunned, and said in his heart that it was made so soon? He hurriedly agreed: "No! ”

Zhao Ziliang asked Chen Mazi and a few craftsmen to wait outside for a while, he left Zheng San alone and said: "Since the stamping technology can be realized, we must also seize the time to make use of this technology, the prerequisite for these technologies is to use the water flow, to pull thousands of catties of iron piers, the general water flow impact force is not at all, it is necessary to dam the river, and use the drop of the water flow to form a strong impact force to pull thousands of catties of iron piers!" Where do you think it is appropriate to build a dam? (To be continued.) )
