Looking at Chen Qi's surprised appearance, Jiang Yunying asked with some puzzlement, "Chen Qi, what is this?" ”

Chen Qi smiled mysteriously: "Secret, but this is indeed an unexpected surprise." ”

After speaking, Chen Qi turned around and left.

Looking at the back of Chen Qi leaving, Jiang Yunying muttered suspiciously: "Cut, pretending to be a ghost!" ”

"Sister Yunying, let's go back to the village and contact the villagers to come and build a waterwheel!" Song Xinyue stepped forward and pulled Jiang Yunying away.

......

At this time, Niu Gang was busy with a large number of people in the iron-making room.

"Brother Niu Gang, don't be busy!"

The hearty laughter came into everyone's ears, and the people who were a little wilted when they heard Chen Qi's voice couldn't help but perk up.

Under normal circumstances, if Chen Qi had no important things to explain, he would basically not come over to interfere in their work.

Niu Gang heard Chen Qi's voice, just hurriedly touched the rust and sweat on his body, and stepped forward with a smile: "Brother Chen Qi, why do you have time to come to me?" ”

"Haha, got a good thing for you!"

Chen Qi handed the album he drew to Niu Gang: "Open it and take a look!" ”

"It's ......"

Looking at the rather ugly waterwheel model, the second monk Niu Gangzhang was puzzled.

Chen Qi coughed dryly, and naturally he would not admit that there was a problem with his painting work: "This is called a waterwheel, and it is built on a waterfall or a stream. ”

"Today we just found a waterfall in the mountains, which is just right for the construction of a waterwheel! Once the waterwheel is built, it will be possible to use water power instead of a lot of manpower to carry out the work. ”

"At that time, not only the work of grinding tofu under the mountain, but also the tempering process after your iron smelting, can be driven by the power of the waterwheel."

Chen Qitian said a lot of things, but a group of villagers blinked, still looking dazed.

After all, with their theoretical knowledge and insight, where can they understand this.

Niu Gang scratched his head: "Brother Chen Qi, I'm stupid, just tell me what to do." ”

Chen Qi smiled and pointed to the model on the atlas: "Look at this, you have to take a group of people to the mountains and build a waterwheel like this." First of all, this base and shelf must be strong enough, otherwise it will not be able to withstand the impact of the water flow for a long time. ”

"And then there's the little parts......"

Chen Qi patiently explained the construction process of the waterwheel to Niu Gang.

"Okay, I see! Just wait for my good news! The beef liver patted his chest: "But brother, I still have some iron here that has not been refined!" ”

"It's okay, don't delay, as long as you can build the waterwheel, one day can be worth your workload for three to five days!"

Chen Qi patted Niu Gang on the shoulder: "When you build the waterwheel, you will make a great contribution to Huanshan Village!" ”

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

"Brothers, copy guys, go up the mountain!"

Niu Gang excitedly led the people from the iron-making room up the mountain.

Chen Qi walked to the iron-making room by the way and checked the progress and quality of Niu Gang's iron-making these days.

After weighing the refined iron in his hand, Chen Qi couldn't help but smile.

This quality of fine iron, whether it is to make agricultural tools or weapons, it is absolutely top-notch.

......

"What is this thing that you kid is repairing? How does it look like a toy? ”

"Eh, you're so small, can you do it?"

"Damn, I can't do it, you come!"

The construction of the watermill was indeed a technical task, and the people who Niu Gang brought it with him were in trouble for this.

A group of people are arguing there, all thinking that they are better than each other's.

After Niu Gang made the small parts on the side, he walked over with a helpless face: "I said brothers, let's come!" ”

"You ...... It's a bit abstract! ”

According to Chen Qi, the waterwheel has to withstand the impact of the waterfall, but according to the practice of this group of people, I am afraid that even the flow speed of the stream cannot withstand it.

"Ahem, this, Brother Niu Gang, otherwise, I'll give you a hand?"

"Well, Lao Wang, why don't you go and help me assemble those small parts!"

Niu Gang looked embarrassed, this guy really didn't know what his own construction level was.

A good waterwheel, under his construction, is only one person high, where can this drive the water of the waterfall to run, for the village hairy children to go as toys is almost the same.

"Hahaha, Lao Wang, go down!"

A group of villagers coaxed and dragged Lao Wang away.

After half a month, Niu Gang lived up to expectations and finally completed the waterwheel perfectly under the waterfall.

Looking at the waterwheel that began to run slowly, Chen Qi was full of excitement: "Quick, Brother Niu Gang, you go and build a few waterbeds to put on the water!" ”

"Waterbed?"

Niu Gang still didn't understand very well.

"Well, it's just to get a few planks, assemble them like this, and then put them on the surface of the water, so that they can flow down the current."

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

The waterbed was still very easy to get, and it soon floated on the water.

"Put the good iron ore on it!"

As pieces of iron ore are loaded on the waterbed, they flow down the current.

The villagers were stunned: "If we carry it piece by piece, it is estimated that it will take half a day to make a trip, right?" ”

At the same time, at the chicken farm under the mountain, Ma Liu was coming out for a walk after finishing his work.

"Babble, babble, move the chicken coop in the morning, ...... in the afternoon Fog grass! ”

"What's that?"

Looking at the pieces of iron ore flowing downstream, Ma Liu's words were not good: "This is, this is the manifestation of the mountain god?" Sent the iron ore to our Huanshan Village? ”

"Come on, come on, come on! The mountain god has appeared! ”

With Ma Liu's shouting, all the people in the chicken farm ran out.

Seeing the iron ore on the water, Lei Heng couldn't help but laugh and said, "Hahaha! This is a waterwheel that Xiao Chen made on the mountain, which is said to help us reduce manpower, and this is probably his masterpiece! ”

"I see, I thought it was the mountain god who appeared!"

Ma Liu patted his chest and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Lei Heng went up and was a big fight: "Fuck you, even if the mountain god appears, you kid has to move the chicken coop, hurry back to work!" ”

"Chicken Lao, ah no, Lei Lao......"

Niu Gang praised from the bottom of his heart: "Brother Chen Qi, your waterwheel is simply amazing!" Not only has our iron-making room reduced a lot of manpower, but the tofu production side has also saved the effort of grinding tofu, and now we are really making money all the time! ”
