Chapter 246: The Power to Move Mountains

Soon the big bell was built and stood on the iron plate designated by Lu Ning.

Huo Biao looked at Lu Ning, pinched an orchid finger and said.

"Fu Guogong, the big bell has been built, and there is still half a day before the day when the international missions will worship my great tomorrow, if you can't get it again, I'm afraid your head will have to go upstairs to see the scenery."

Lu Ning smiled indifferently and looked at Huo Biao.

"May I ask Master Huo, do you want me to succeed, or do you want me to fail?"

Huo Biao laughed and said directly.

"You arrogant boy, relying on some cleverness, don't take our Manchu Dynasty civil and military in your eyes, I naturally hope you ......"

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang snorted.

"This big bell can't be hung up, and it has damaged the national prestige of my Ming Dynasty in front of the envoys of all countries, is it really what you want to see? Hum! ”

Hearing His Majesty say this, Huo Biao shrank his neck in fright, and immediately went back to make up for it.

"Grandpa Lu, I naturally hope that our Ming Dynasty will be mighty, and naturally I hope that you can succeed."

Lu Ning laughed and said.

"But once I succeed, you're going to be boarded, are you ready?"

Huo Biao snorted and hid behind Song Tie.

"You don't do your business, do you really want to ask people to travel to the castle?"

Lu Ning let him go and turned to look at Song Tie.

"Lord Song, do you want me to succeed, or do you want me to fail?"

Thinking that this kid monopolized the profits of the little umbrella, Song Tie felt a little painful.

It's just that Your Majesty is staring here, if you want this kid to fail, then you naturally hope that Daming will lose and lose, and Your Majesty can't spare me, he smiled very kindly.

"I naturally hope that you can succeed, because of my Ming national prestige, I must not be humiliated because of you!"

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang finally couldn't stand it anymore, and he snorted.

"Zi'an, is your opening statement finished? Why don't you want to hang the big bell for us, now we give you two choices: either hang the big bell or hang your head. ”

Lu Ning smiled and replied indifferently.

"Your Majesty who said I was not ready, now the big bell is in the process of being hung."

"Did you hang the bell for us with your red mouth and white teeth? You must know the fate of the sin of deceit! ”

Lu Ning smiled and said helplessly.

"Please take a look at the workshop next to this Mahavira Hall."

He led them to a workshop where they were working, and they saw that there were more than a dozen cauldrons, and the lid of this cauldron was strange, it was a semicircular cover.

At the top of the hood came an iron pipe, all of which converged on a large thick pipe in the middle. One end plunges into the ground.

Underneath the pot was the stove, which had already been filled with coal, and several soldiers were pulling the bellows to blow the fire.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened, "Lu Ning, you can hang up my big clock with this weird thing?" ”

Lu Ning said in a low voice.

"This is an artifact that we recently invented to lift heavy objects, called a jack."

Huo Biao, the bar spirit next to him, jumped out again and said.

"What's the use of a jack? Our Hongwu bronze bell weighs 20,000 catties! ”

At this time, some civil officials led by Song Tie looked at Lu Ning and said.

"Young man, don't do porcelain work without diamonds, they all say that there is no hair on the mouth, and the work is not firm, Your Majesty, I suggest that the ceremony of the envoy visiting the Hongwu Bronze Bell be canceled, and let him see the other things of my Ming Dynasty, Hua Tianbao, and the literary style, can also deter those barbarians!"

This is obviously to intercede with Lu Ning, but in fact, it has been concluded that Lu Ning can't hang this from the main beam above.

It means that it should be Lu Ning's head that will be hung up in the future.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also entangled in his heart, but if he wanted him to kill his eldest nephew, it was impossible.

Even if Lu Ning couldn't hang this bell, he did many things that the Ming people couldn't do.

What's more, he will have to count on Lu Ning for many things in the future, at most, he will just find someone to give Lu Ning a few boards.

At this moment, a little eunuch suddenly came in to give a message.

"Your Majesty, the iron plate in the hall has risen by three inches."

Originally, the iron plate was flush with the ground level, but I didn't expect it to suddenly increase by three inches. Zhu Yuanzhang fell in love with Lu Ning and asked.

"Zi'an, tell us what's going on?"

Lu Ning pointed to those iron pots and said.

"The water here is about to boil, and then the water vapor goes down these pipes into the underground pipes, and at the bottom of the pipes is the wooden pillars of the piston type, and the steam rises slowly against the iron plate."

At this time, Huo Biao jumped out again and said.

"Do you see clearly, even if there is a person in this pass, but he is still nearly a zhang away from the top of the beam, what is it if he lifts three inches?"

Lu Ning smiled and retorted.

"Master Huo, if you have the ability, you can also raise this bronze bell for me by three inches in this short period of time, let me see it."

Huo Biao is dumb, this is 20,000 catties, not 20 catties, isn't it my life if I raise three inches?

As the bellows blow, the water vapor increases, and the iron plate rises faster and faster.

At first, it moved up inch by inch, and then it was lifted up at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

In a short time, we had already reached the place where the bronze bell was hung on the beam above.

Those people were dumbfounded, Lu Ning reminded him.

"What are you doing? Hurry up and hang the iron hook! ”

The rest of the construction division only reacted, and quickly hung the iron hook on the nose above the bronze bell.

Watching that Huo Biao run back, Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and said to the Jinyi guard next to him.

"Come on, pull this guy who stirs up trouble down, and hit the twenty boards!"
