"Uncle Huang, you... Do you want to do it, what is it? ”

After hearing that Uncle Liu Huang had something new to hand over to himself, Ma Jun, who had been dealing with the delicious food on the plate for a while, stopped his chopsticks directly and asked out loud.

There was a twinkle in his eyes, and there was some impatience.

With cement, wooden oxen and flowing horses, and printing as the foundation, Ma Jun has a great interest in what Liu Cheng said.

Uncle Liu Huang is not strong in these things, but that kind of whimsical ideas are impressive.

The most important thing is that his whimsical ideas are not some whimsical nonsense, but through hard work, he can really succeed and do it.

As a person who has been talked by Liu Cheng several times and some practical actions, he has been given to get rid of his worries and decided to go down this road, how could Ma Jun be unhappy when he heard that Uncle Liu Huang was ready to hand over new things to him again and let him do it?

This is still Ma Jun came to Yushan, and he didn't know that Liu Cheng had already asked people to follow his explanation of some things, and after experiments and explorations, they would make incomparably precious glass in this era, and make glassware.

If he knew this, he was afraid that he would be even more interested in what Liu Cheng was about to say.

Liu Cheng looked at Ma Jun and said with a smile: "The kind of thing I am talking about is called a waterwheel." ”

Ma Jun looked at Liu Cheng and nodded vigorously, looking intently, waiting for Liu Cheng's next words.

At the same time, according to the name Liu Cheng said, he had a certain idea in his heart about facing the waterwheel.

A horse-drawn cart is a horse-drawn cart, an ox-cart is a cart pulled by an ox, and this waterwheel is a cart pulled by water?

It's just, something that runs on water, isn't it a boat?

Just a name fully mobilized Ma Jun's curiosity and interest.

"The waterwheel is not a car driven by water, but a special tool.

It is a high shelf, and there is a large wheel in the middle, and the wheel is equipped with many stoppers, which can use the water flow to drive the wheel to rotate in circles......"

Liu Cheng told Ma Jun on the spot what a waterwheel was.

After a while, Liu Cheng took out a drawing.

It is said that it is a drawing, it is not very accurate, it is mainly a picture, that is, Liu Cheng drew it according to the appearance of the waterwheel in his impression, and the data is not accurate, mainly to make it easier for Ma Jun to understand what a waterwheel is, to know what a waterwheel looks like, and there is a reference.

Of course, this is not that Liu Cheng wants to hide his secrets and deliberately does not draw accurate drawings, but this thing is too testing of skills.

Brains and hands are always fighting.

Obviously, in my mind, I have a very clear image of a waterwheel, but I just can't draw it with my hands.

In this regard, there is an incompatibility between the two.

Ma Jun's eyes were immediately attracted by the waterwheel.

Stop your chopsticks and watch here.

"Don't look at it yet, this thing won't be able to figure it out for a while, wait and then study it slowly.

Let's eat first. ”

When Ma Jun was talking to himself and carefully looking at the waterwheel pictures, the rest of the people present were not idle, whether it was Xun Yu, Zhao Yun, or Huang Zhong, they did not stop the chopsticks in their hands, and they were still eating quickly.

When Liu Cheng cooks, the amount of food he makes is not small.

But it can't stand the existence of some incarnated big stomach kings.

This is a real big stomach king, who really eats the food, but not those big stomachs in later generations who eat and vomit, vomit and eat, and throw away all kinds of food in order to attract people's attention and shoot good videos in order to attract people's attention and shoot good videos.

Ma Jun was stunned for a while, but he was afraid that before long, the food on this table would be almost solved by these foodies.

Therefore, Liu Chengcheng reminded Ma Jun loudly.

Ma Jun nodded yes, then continued to look at the drawings in his hand, and after a while, put the drawings down carefully and solemnly.

Begin to pick up chopsticks to eat.

But apparently most of the attention is still on the waterwheel, and eating seems absent-minded, and it will take a while to bring some to the mouth, and the speed of eating is obviously greatly reduced.

Seeing this, Liu Cheng couldn't help but sniff secretly, he knew that Ma Jun would be like this, so he wouldn't talk about it at the dinner table.

At the same time, I also understand in my heart that Ma Jun can achieve such great achievements in history.

It has been said that genius is made up of one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent diligence.

Without this one percent of inspiration, no matter how much effort you make, it can only push you to a limited height, and it can't produce drastic qualitative changes.

However, if there is no 99 percent effort, there is that 1 percent inspiration, it is also useless, and it is impossible to achieve great success and great achievements.

If you don't do it, you are stupid, that's what it means.

Ma Jun's contemplation lasted for a while before it was over.

When he recovered from his contemplation, changed his previous subconscious behavior, and began to take the initiative to throw his chopsticks at the food on the table, he couldn't help but be stunned.

I don't know when, the sumptuous food on the table has disappeared!

Only scraps and food scraps remained.

The plates with braised pork, as well as sweet and sour carp and a few other foods were the most excessive, and even the juice disappeared.

The inside of the plate is incredibly clean.

Only in a plate in front of him, there was a small half plate of greens.

Look at the table in front of him, the dishes that have been acted on by the disc, and then look at the few people sitting around the table, either picking their teeth, or wiping their mouths, or slowly and leisurely, a few people who are drinking tea after dinner, the young Ma Jun, for the first time in Uncle Huang, felt full of malice.

I realized what it means to have an ancient human heart.

"There's still half a plate of meatballs here, you can eat it quickly."

Liu Cheng's voice sounded, and he took out a plate from the chair behind him like a trick, and inside the plate was extremely delicious meatballs.

This was picked up by Liu Cheng in advance and put aside, specially reserved for Ma Jun.

Ma Jun didn't know that people's hearts were sinister, but Liu Cheng knew very well about the virtues of these guys, so he put them up half a plate in advance.

Hearing Liu Cheng's voice, and then looking at the half plate of meatballs, the stunned young man Ma Jun felt the warmth of the world again.

Of course, this warmth is emanating from Uncle Liu, not the few guys who sat with Uncle Liu and picked their teeth.

This time, with the profound and painful lesson before, Ma Jun didn't dare to have half a point of slackness, nor did he dare to have half a point of distraction.

He quickly started and swept away the meatballs, vegetables, and rice in front of him.

Eating these in your stomach makes you feel at ease and no longer worry about being snatched away......

After dinner, my stomach was full.

The digestion of food will consume brain power, and a few people who eat are lazy, leaning back in chairs, not wanting to move.

After sitting here and talking for a while, everyone dispersed.

However, Ma Jun did not leave, but went to Liu Cheng's study with Liu Cheng.

"Do you see what this thing is doing?"

After coming to the study and sitting down, Liu Cheng looked at Ma Jun, who was also sitting down under his motion, and asked with a smile.

Ma Jun stretched out his hand and scratched his head, sorted out his thoughts and said: "Come up, come, some, I don't know, yes, yes." ”

He speaks slowly, much slower than normal.

However, compared to the previous time, it is much better.

Liu Cheng looked at him and smiled, motioning for him to continue.

Ma Jun said: "I feel, yes, in, waterwheel, wheel, top, tie, big bamboo tube, wheel, rotate, can, transport water, high, and then fall......

Uncle Huang, as he said, the waterwheel, together with the canal, use, effect, should, very good. ”

In addition to connecting two words and two words together, Ma Jun can also say some three words.

Although he still felt very awkward when he spoke, it was enough to make him very happy.

And Liu Cheng was even happier than Ma Jun.

While rejoicing, my heart was still shaking.

Shake for Ma Jun.

Liu Cheng only told Ma Jun about the waterwheel when he was eating, and he only told Ma Jun about the general structure and operation principle of this thing, and he didn't say anything about the function.

As a result, not long after this time passed, Ma Jun actually directly said that this thing can be used to lift water, and it can be combined with the canal.

How does this not make Liu Cheng shake?

It can only be said that genius is genius.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

Liu Cheng applauded.

"Xiao Langjun is really powerful, you can see the role of this waterwheel!

That's right, the main function of this waterwheel is to carry water, and make a special bucket on the big wheel that will be transferred by the water, which can use the water to drive some water from the low to the high.

Only one more channel is needed to transport the water to the canal.

In addition to the relatively large amount of water transported, another important advantage is that this thing does not rely on human and animal power, and can operate day and night......

In normal times, if there is a canal, the role of the waterwheel may not be significant, or it may be more chicken, but it is really a year of great drought, and the significant role of the waterwheel appears.

If there is a really drought, the water level of the river will drop, and the intake of the canal will not be flooded at all.

At this time, if one or several waterwheels are here, things will not be so serious......

With a large number of waterwheels, the drought resistance here in Guanzhong will be further enhanced! ”

Ma Jun can think of these things, but the time is short, and he hasn't had time to think so far-reaching.

At this time, Liu Cheng opened his mouth, and after such an explanation in connection with reality, the important role of the waterwheel was suddenly highlighted.

"Uncle Huang, this is really, it's one, it's good, something!"

Ma Jun opened his mouth to praise and gave Liu Cheng two thumbs up.

"Uncle Huang, really, wisely, so, good, things, can, think, come out!"

Ma Jun said, with a heartfelt sigh in his mouth, and he had the urge to bow to Liu Chengding.

Uncle Huang is really too smart, too smart.

I actually thought of using the scouring power of the water to make this thing!

I have to say, this is really an extremely clever idea.

When Liu Cheng heard this, he grinned and said to Ma Jun: "I'm just standing on the shoulders of my predecessors and picking fruits." ”

When Ma Jun heard this, he couldn't help blinking his eyes, and he didn't understand what Liu Cheng said just now.

I don't know what Uncle Huang meant by standing on the shoulders of his predecessors and picking fruits.

He thought that he had never heard of such a waterwheel before.

Thinking like this in my heart, my heart moved, and an idea suddenly came to my mind.

"Uncle Huang, is it a god, a turtle?"

When Liu Cheng heard this, his heart couldn't help twitching.

It is said that the nonsense that the turtle that was pulled out of Luoshui and passed the book of heaven to himself is really deep in the hearts of the people.

The turtle has also become an all-powerful artifact.

As long as there is something, you can push it on the turtle without worrying about any trouble.

The most important thing is that Liu Cheng doesn't need to speak by himself at all, others will automatically associate with the turtle.

Liu Cheng thought so in his heart, and immediately smiled, smiling and not saying a word.

Such behavior, in Ma Jun's view, is admitted.

Ma Jun suddenly became even more excited.

When he thought that this had reached the apex of the waterwheel, Liu Cheng opened his mouth again.

"In fact, the role of the waterwheel is not only these, in addition to lifting water, in other places, it can also play a great role."

Ma Jun was stunned when he heard this, he was able to play such a big role, but it was not the limit of the waterwheel?

Right now, I was thinking about the rest of the role of the watermill in my heart.

However, after thinking about it for a while, there was no eyebrow either.

He thought of some directions, but these directions were far from being as good as lifting water, so it could not be the big role that the imperial uncle said.

Liu Cheng obviously saw that Ma Jun was thinking, so he didn't say the answer, just waited quietly here.

"Uncle Huang, I think, don't come out, please, Uncle Huang, inform."

After pondering for a while, Ma Jun looked at Liu Cheng and said this.

Liu Chengdao: "The main thing is that there is no physical object in front of you, and the time given to you is too short, for a long time, I don't need to say, you will definitely be able to develop this use."

But now, I'm probably busy with other things after me, and I can't put too much energy into this thing.

I'll just tell you about it.

Another important role I am talking about is that you can use a water wheel to drive the mill and stone mill, which can be used to hull the millet, grind the wheat and other crops, and use it to grind the flour......"

When Ma Jun heard this, his eyes lit up, but he soon fell into contemplation again.

He was thinking about how he could use the rotating waterwheel wheel to drive the stone mills, stone grinders, and the mills used to make rice.

This is a technical issue.

It is not possible to drive it directly with the rotating waterwheel, this thing is rotating in the water, and the amplitude is too large......

After a while, Ma Jun looked at Liu Chengkai and said: "Uncle Huang, is it not to, do you want to add a pole, something like that, with, stone mill, these, connection, together?" ”

When Liu Cheng heard this, he sighed again that there is indeed a gap between people.

Ma Jun's talent in machinery is really amazing.

It only took a long time for him to come up with some eyebrows.

He stretched out his hand and patted Ma Jun on the shoulder: "It's really yours, this is the right direction."

Having someone like you is really a blessing in the world. ”

What Liu Cheng said was his true feelings, and there was no falsehood in the slightest.

Ma Jun shook his head and said: "No, Uncle Huang, yes, really, unfortunately, no, Uncle Huang, what you see, what you want, everything, darkness ......"

Although Ma Jun stuttered, he spoke well, and Liu Cheng had some smiles on the corner of his mouth.

"The waterwheel is fundamental, and it needs to be developed first.

The first priority of the watermill is always to fight drought.

Fighting drought and increasing grain production are always the first priority, and under this premise, we can use waterwheels to build water mills and water mills......

Liu Cheng said this to Ma Jun.

After talking to Ma Jun for a while, Liu Cheng once again set his eyes on the stack of papers in his hand.

This is a part of the Book of Poetry printed by engraving printing, and the beginning is the opening chapter of the Book of Songs, "Guan Ju".

"You did a really good job in printing, and I didn't expect you to be able to do it to such an extent in such a short period of time.

It was really a big surprise for me. ”

Liu Cheng said this to Ma Jun.

Again, this is true.

The printed paper in front of me is, of course, not as good as the textbooks of the People's Publishing House in later generations, but it has surpassed those big pirated copies.

"Printing, in addition to engraving, actually has other methods.

Through engraving printing, I think you are also aware of the shortcomings of engraving. ”

Liu Cheng looked at Ma Jun and said.

Ma Jun nodded when he heard this: "Indeed, so, this kind of printing, for, engraving, requirements, too high."

Can't, the wrong carving, one word, once, the wrong carving, the whole, ruined. ”

Liu Cheng nodded and said: "There is another one, that is, after engraving, you can only print this carved thing."

If you want to print something else, you need to engrave it next, which is troublesome......"

This is something that Ma Jun did not expect.

At this time, when Liu Cheng said this, he immediately felt that what Liu Cheng said was very reasonable.

He looked at Liu Chengdao: "Uncle Huang, isn't it, there is, better, solution, solution?" ”

Liu Cheng said with a smile: "There is a way, which is a technology born from engraving printing, called movable type printing."

That is, the commonly used words are engraved one by one in advance, stored there, and when things need to be printed, the corresponding words are found one by one according to the articles that need to be printed......"

After listening to Liu Cheng's introduction to movable type printing, Ma Jun's eyes lit up again.

The whole person seemed extremely excited.

Whimsy!

Whimsy!

It's really a whimsy!

How did Uncle Huang know so many things?

Uncle Huang has always said that he is very talented in Gewu, but in fact, it is obvious that he has great talent in Gewu!

After such a thought rose in his heart, Ma Jun hurriedly shook his head again, Uncle Huang is not only very talented in Gewu, but also has amazing talent in many other things!

Originally, I thought that after I got out the engraving printing technique, I would not be able to find anything particularly interesting to do in a short period of time.

As a result, after seeing Uncle Huang, he continued to learn about the things that made his heart flutter again!

Make yourself want to start doing it now.

Liu Cheng looked at Ma Jun, who was full of joy for a while, and doubtful for a while, with a smile on his face.

Historically, after Ma Jun kept hitting a wall in Confucianism, he had no choice but to do his most talented things, and most of the things he made were things for the emperor and eunuchs to appreciate and play, which was beneficial to the national economy and people's livelihood, but after all, it was still limited.

Under such circumstances, Ma Jun was able to bloom with such dazzling colors, and now with his full support and guidance, Liu Cheng is very much looking forward to where Ma Jun can go.

At the very least, it is inevitable that he will surpass his original achievements in history.

"However, at this stage, engraving printing can also be used, and the focus of work needs to be on the waterwheel, which is the most important thing.

Only by getting this right first, can we devote ourselves to the study of movable type printing.

Movable type printing, the most cost-effective, or use clay to fire pottery movable type, Yushan here is a lot of my family's industry, kilns also have a lot.

I'll have a trusted potter come in and work with you.

If you want to do this, you can give some pointers and give some ideas.

You don't have to put your heart and soul into it, you can do it yourself.

Otherwise, it will be really busy.

In addition, printing is a great weapon, and I will be of great use in the future, and the printed things can be circulated, but the printing technology cannot be circulated.

At least for a certain period of time, it can't be circulated......"

Liu Cheng looked at Ma Jun to explain.

Ma Jun nodded, indicating that he remembered.

"Uncle Huang, I don't, go back, okay? come, there is no time, and Jia, Taishou, say ......"

At the end of the conversation, Ma Jun looked at Liu Cheng and asked, with a little worry.

Jia Xu was really good to him, which can be described as the grace of knowing him, so he stayed in Yushan and didn't go back, and he felt a little inappropriate in his heart.

Liu Cheng smiled: "Don't worry about this, I will write to Jia Taishou to explain this matter clearly." ”

When Ma Jun heard this, he nodded reassuringly......

……

The wind was still blowing, but the snow was barely falling.

The snow here in Yushan has also melted.

Liu Cheng didn't feel that the weather was getting warmer, but when he looked at the withered grass, he could see that the roots of the withered grass had begun to turn green.

The girl named Chun has already taken a lotus step, and she is coming, getting closer and closer......

Liu Cheng calculated the time, and then synthesized the information he had gotten, and a smile appeared on his face.

I need to go, leave from Yushan, and go to the vicinity of Xiliang.

On the surface, he was deprived of military power and opened a hospital here in Yushan, but he didn't really represent it, and he didn't participate in this battle.

Of course, this kind of participation, at the beginning, needs to be carried out in secret, so that the enemy will not be aware of his arrival, and only think that he is still living in Yushan......
