Chapter 11: The Hydraulic Mill

"If I knew I was going to travel to this time, I should have studied these things!"

Just when Liu Bei consulted Zhuge Liang about the 'Skynet', Liu Chan, who was far away in Jingzhou, was scratching his head about the drawings of the hydraulic mill he had drawn.

It turned out that after sending a letter of request for instructions to his father Liu Bei for the formation of 'Skynet', Liu Chan immediately asked Zhao Yun and Mi Fang to start the preparation of the new paper mill. After all, no matter whether Liu Beitong disagrees with Skynet's affairs, the operation of paper is a must.

Therefore, in order to improve the productivity of the paper mill in the future, Liu Chan is preparing to renovate the hydraulic mill in later generations to replace manpower to make pulp.

However, although he had seen this hydraulic mill in later generations, he did not know its specific structure, but he only knew that it was driven by a waterwheel with a gear belt or something.

Therefore, at this time, he will have a feeling that his eyes are black and he has no way to start. It took most of the day's work to draw a drawing of the exterior of a hydraulic mill.

No way, who knew that he would travel to the Three Kingdoms era, who knew that this thing that had long been eliminated in the 'later generations', and he would have a big day?

"I don't know if the craftsmen of this era who are good at making mechanisms can make them with prompts. After all, the wooden ox and the horse ......"

In the end, he really had no choice, and after putting down the quill pen used to draw drawings in his hand, he could only plan to find some craftsmen to try it out.

After all, many inventions are just a piece of inspiration. And with his own guidance and reminder in the general direction, in this era when wooden oxen and horses can be built, it is not a trivial matter to build a hydraulic mill?

"That's right! Wooden ox flowing horse, wasn't that invented by Zhuge God? How did I forget such a cow man, hahahaha! ”

Thinking of the wooden cow flowing horse, Liu Chan, who was originally going to find some craftsmen to try out the production, suddenly woke up, isn't there a top mechanism master who invented the wooden cow flowing horse by his side Daddy Liu Bei.

"Well, it's just that Yizhou and Jingzhou are thousands of miles apart, how long will it take to delay?"

Because of the joy brought by the thought of Zhuge Liang, the god of mechanical arts, it did not last long, and was denied by Liu Chan, who was eager to build the paper mill.

……

"What is Childe's drawing?"

Looking at the drawings of the house with a big wheel and a few gear patterns in front of him, Pang Tong, who was holding a wine gourd and sipping it, couldn't help but be puzzled.

"Commander, this is a hydraulic mill. If this thing can be made, it can not only replace the power of humans and animals to make pulp, but also can be used to grind all kinds of grains, and there is no need for the time-consuming and laborious rice grinding noodles like now......"

Pointing to the drawings of the water mill he had just drawn, Liu Chan couldn't help but blush a little. No way, this drawing is too crude and crude.

Because Zhuge Liang was far away in Yizhou, in the end, Liu Chan thought of Pang Tong, the same famous phoenix.

"If you don't use human and animal power to make pulp, how can it move?"

Hearing that this water mill can grind rice and flour without the strength of people and animals, Pang Tong couldn't help but be interested. You must know that since ancient times, this rice grinding has been a chore, and it can even be used as a punishment, which shows its hardship. But now Liu Chan actually said that this water mill can replace the power of humans and animals, can he not be surprised?

"Did the military advisor see this big water wheel? When the time comes, just put it in a ditch or river where there is a flow of water, and the blades will be rotated by the water flow, and then driven to the house by a gear belt...... In this way, it can not only replace the power of humans and animals, but the key is to be able to operate day and night without spending a grain of rice and forage......"

In Zhuge Liang's surprised gaze, Liu Chan introduced to him the operating principle of the water mill.

"Running around the clock? If Childe's method can really succeed, wouldn't it be possible to save a lot of manpower to ......"

After listening to Liu Chan's introduction, Pang Tong, who was originally just a little curious, couldn't help but light up in his eyes.

You must know that in this troubled era of 'white bones exposed in the wilderness and no roosters crowing for thousands of miles', population is the most valuable wealth, and population is the best embodiment of strength.

Why was Shu Han the first to be destroyed in the original history, wasn't it because the population was too small, resulting in the weakest strength?

If there is a hydraulic mill that is not driven by manpower, this alone can free up a lot of manpower!

"As the military advisor said, if this thing can really be made, it can indeed replace a lot of manpower. It's just that the kid only knows the general idea, and it is not clear how to use gears and belts to transform the power of this waterwheel...... Thinking of the military advisor being a celestial man, he specially came to ask the military advisor for advice. ”

In Pang Tong's surprised expression, Liu Chan said the true purpose of this trip.

"Well, this, although the way of this mechanism is a little superficial, but it is really not proficient. Childe asked a little blindly......"

After figuring out Liu Chan's intentions, Pang Tong, who had always been arrogant and conceited, couldn't help but laugh a little embarrassedly at this moment, and even the black face was faintly red.

"Hehe, the military advisor doesn't have to mind, the so-called art industry has a specialty. Human energy is limited, and no one can be omniscient and omnipotent......"

At this time, how could Liu Chan not know that Pang Tong was the same as him about this technique, although he was a little disappointed in his heart, he still subconsciously comforted this always conceited Mr. Feng Xiao.

"Thank you for your understanding! It's just that although the art of this mechanism is not proficient, some people are proficient in it! ”

Looking at Liu Chan's inadvertent disappointment, Pang Tong immediately laughed again.

"What the military advisor said is not Zhuge military advisor? It's just that Zhuge Junshi is far away in Yizhou, and the time it takes to go back and forth is ......."

Seeing the smile on Pang Tong's face, Liu Chan subconsciously thought of Zhuge Dashenlai, after all, he was the real inventor of the wooden cow flowing horse.

"No, no, although Kong Ming is quite good at the technique, but the people who say it are better than Kong Ming!"

However, what Liu Chan didn't expect was that Pang Tong, who suddenly incarnated as 'Bao Different', said with a mysterious face that this person was even better than Zhuge God in the art of the mechanism, which really made him curious.

"Oh? I didn't expect that there are still people who can be better than Zhuge Military Master in the art of this organ, I don't know who the military master is talking about? ”

Hearing that there were people who were better at the art of mechanisms than Zhuge God, Liu Chan, who had successfully aroused his curiosity, couldn't help but ask with a look of anticipation.

"Childe guess, who did Kong Ming's organ technique come from?"

Looking at Liu Chan's curious and expectant look, Pang Tong suddenly sold Guan Zi with a playful smile at this time.

"Well, who did Zhuge Junshi's technique come from? This kid really doesn't know, and he asks the military advisor to say it clearly! ”

Hearing Pang Tong's inquiry, Liu Chan couldn't help but feel moved in his heart, remembering a legend that was widely circulated in later generations.

It's just that, looking at Pang Tong's playful smile, he finally chose to cooperate with this Mr. Feng Xiao's performance, and asked for advice with an open face.

"Haha, this person is far away in the sky, close in front of him, just see if the son can go down to this face!"
