Chapter 15: Women also hold up half the sky
"This water turning overturn is the same as a human stepping keel overturning, but digging a narrow trench on the bank of the flowing water and placing the car inside. The outer end of the pedal axle of the car is made of a vertical wheel, and a wooden vertical shaft is added next to the vertical wheel, and two horizontal wheels are placed...... This is the system of the lying wheel. ”
"If the vertical shaft should be placed, the water excitation vertical wheel, the end of the spokes of the wheel is reproduced as a small wheel, the spokes are slightly wider, in order to pull the head of the vertical wheel, this vertical wheel method also. These two methods should be used according to their water potential, and they are more than perfect for treadmills day and night......"
It is worthy of being the 'master' of Zhuge God, but it only took ten days, and Liu Chan's original simple and rough picture of a hydraulic mill was turned into two complete sets of hydraulic overturning drawings by Huang Yueying from one life to another.
Not only that, but even the application drawings such as rice and grinding noodles that use the power of the waterwheel are also readily available.
"Madame is really worthy of the ...... of Zhuge Military Master Such a good match, such a sophisticated hydraulic equipment has been designed in such a short period of time, the kid admires it! ”
Looking at the two sets of detailed drawings of the water rotation and overturning in front of him, Liu Chan, who was pleasantly surprised, was almost impressed.
In fact, what Liu Chan didn't know was that this horizontal wheel and vertical wheel waterwheel originally appeared in the Song and Yuan dynasties.
But now, because of his 'reminder', Huang Yueying has advanced the time of his appearance by a thousand years. If it is popularized and applied, how many times will it increase labor efficiency and create wealth over the cumulative period of 2,000 years?
"Hehe, Childe has an overreputation, but it's just a small road...... If there was no reminder from the child's drawings, the concubine would never have thought that the power of this water flow would still be used in this way......"
Facing Liu Chan's astonishing admiration, Huang Yueying smiled indifferently, without the slightest hint of merit.
"Huh? May I ask you, ma'am, is it the anvil used to strike iron? ”
After the excitement calmed down a little, Liu Chan was suddenly attracted by a supporting device in the shape of an anvil in the drawing.
"Childe guessed right, if you use this water to turn over and urge the hammer, it will greatly increase the efficiency of calcining. In this way, even if it is a hundred steel knives, its production cycle will be greatly shortened. And not only swords, but even the armor pieces used in armor can be punched into shape with only a slight change in the mold, which is far faster than manual grinding......"
To Liu Chan's surprise, he originally just wanted to use it to make pulp, at most, it was a water mill with rice to grind noodles, but Huang Yueying drew inferences from it and developed it into a sharp weapon for making weapons and equipment such as swords and armor.
'What a fool, just remember the paper-making thing, why did you forget to use this hydraulic punch to punch weapons and armor?' It's really in vain to read so many time-traveling novels in my last life, hahahaha! ’
Hearing Huang Yueying's introduction to the extended function of this hydraulic rollover, Liu Chan suddenly remembered that in those time-traveling novels in his previous life, the protagonists used hydraulic punches to make weapons and armor.
"Madam, the boy wants to ask his father to set up a 'weapons supervisor' in Jingzhou, specializing in the development of various military and civilian equipment...... I wonder if Madame can give in? ”
After coming back to his senses, looking at Huang Yueying, who was full of confidence and talking, and hated Liu Chan, who couldn't go around with fishing nets to search for all kinds of talents, even if he hit the idea on this Zhuge Lady again, he planned to let her and Zhuge Da have a husband and wife to be officials in the same dynasty.
"Huh? Son...... Childe can't joke. Since ancient times, there has never been a woman as an official, and the concubine is ......"
Even though she is a talented woman of a generation and has seen a lot of things, after hearing Liu Chan's words asking her to become an official, Huang Yueying still couldn't help but be surprised, and her eyes were full of disbelief.
You must know that although the status of women in this era is much higher than that of the Ming and Qing dynasties when feudal etiquette was prevalent in later generations, it is not uncommon for women to study and remarry, but it is still tantamount to a fantasy to let women really become officials.
Therefore, after hearing Liu Chan's words asking her to become an official, Huang Yueying's first reaction was that Liu Chan was joking with her.
It's just that when she saw the solemn expression on Liu Chan's little face, she understood, but the other party was quite serious about her feelings, and she wasn't joking.
"Madam, women and men are all human beings, and women are also half the sky! If you are a human being, you can only distinguish between talented and untalented, so why should you be obsessed with men and women? Besides, doesn't the lady want to turn her own talents into a weapon for the benefit of the country and the people, and benefit the people? As for the precedent of a woman being an official, although there is no precedent for the predecessors, but the lady is a strange woman of a generation, so why not set this precedent for future generations of women......"
Seeing that Huang Yueying did not explicitly refuse, Liu Chan turned his mouth and 'fooled' this Zhuge lady hard.
"Women also hold up half the sky? Childe's words are too bold and amazing......"
Hearing Liu Chan's words that were too advanced, Huang Yueying couldn't help but shake her head and chuckle.
"Madam, what the boy said may seem bold, but it is an indisputable fact. If there are only men in this world, where can they be...... Where does the population multiply? Men and women complement each other and are indispensable. For the benefit of the people of Li, only care about talent...... Nor did the sages and sages say that a woman cannot be an official or a ......"
In line with the principle of one is not too little, two is not too much, after fooling Huang Chengyan into his hands, Liu Chan also made up his mind, vowing to fool this Mrs. Zhuge who is good at mechanical equipment to his subordinates.
"Childe, this matter is very important, and it is ...... And let the concubine think about it first. The most important thing at the moment is to try to make this water turn and overturn first, and see if there is anything wrong with it that needs to be modified and improved......"
In the face of Liu Chan's vigorous 'flickering', although this Mrs. Zhuge did not explicitly agree in the end, it was obvious that the other party was also very tempted.
No way, although she is a woman, who calls her a talented woman? A truly talented person, male or female, who would want their talent to be buried?
Therefore, in the face of Liu Chan's seemingly abrupt invitation, although Huang Yueying was also a little apprehensive, she was also eager to try it in her heart, but she did not refuse.
"What Madame said is very true, but this waterwheel was designed by Madame herself, and it is the so-called one thing that does not bother the two masters, so this matter will bother Madame a lot. The kid will prepare the venue and the craftsman's materials......"
After having the experience of fooling Huang Chengyan, Liu Chan, who is also very familiar with the reserve of these ancients, naturally knows what to do. So even on the grounds that he didn't bother the two masters, the production of this water turning and overturning car was also handed over to Huang Yueying.
"Qi Yu Gongzi, the Lord has a messenger from Yizhou, please return quickly!"
Just when Liu Chan was making a hydraulic overturn to 'trap' this Mrs. Zhuge , Zhao Yun's familiar voice with joy came from outside the courtyard.
