Chapter 163: Bulldozer? Excavator? Crane?

Gong Jinjin had some doubts: "Your Majesty, if you adopt the method that Your Majesty said, it will certainly improve efficiency, but the whole will be much heavier, not only will it be a little troublesome to build, but it will also be very complicated to dismantle. ”

It's not unreasonable to worry about the public loss, but naturally I won't say anything about it: "You know Linchong, right? ”

Gong Zhijin nodded: "According to legend, Linchong was made by Jiang Taigong, so it is also known as Lu Gongche, which is similar to the nest car. The Mo family has also transformed it, and the car is several zhang high and dozens of zhang long, which can be described as a behemoth. It's just that because it is cumbersome and afraid of fire attacks, it was abandoned after only one appearance in the Battle of Yanling. ”

After thinking about it for a while, I thought of my idea of making the pulley system bigger and heavier, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty means to transform Linchong into a movable pulley support?" ”

I laughed and said, "Clever! The reason why Linchong was abandoned, as you said, was limited by the terrain and could not move long distances, and most of them were made on the spot after arriving at the enemy's siege and cutting down trees around the city. Isn't that exactly what happened when a city was built? There are fifty-nine counties in the world, and the only ones that really need to build cities are the five counties of Hexi and the six counties of Donghu, and one such device is enough for each city. ”

Bai Chong exclaimed: "Your Majesty is wise, this can greatly improve the efficiency of building a city!" ”

I smiled and didn't answer: "The five counties of Hexi are just a small city within a radius of twenty miles, less than the size of Xianyang Siyi, and Xianyang may expand in the future, so Xianyang's utensils should be made a little more and the variety should be complete." ”

"The first is the tower crane." I picked up the bamboo piece and gestured, "The vertical is a high tower in the style of Linchong, and the horizontal is a extended arm fixed at the top of the tower, and the tower and the extension arm are connected by an axis, so that they can rotate left and right." The extension arm is equipped with a slide rail and a pulley, and the slide rail is to make the pulley move back and forth on the extension arm. The rope passes through the pulley, one end lifts the cargo box for placing the brick and mud, and the other end is tied to the livestock through the movable pulley group, so that the goods can be lifted up and down, left and right. ”

Gong Yi nodded while listening, and I asked Qi Wan to take a pen and paper for the two of them to record my words.

"The second is an excavator." I also took a pen and paper and drew while talking: "The principle is similar to that of the tower crane, except that the extension arm is replaced with angled wood or copper and iron, and the end of the extension arm is connected to a bucket through the shaft, similar to this." There are two ropes on the bucket, one is used to control the bucket to dig and retract, and the other is used to lift and lower the extension arm, which is also pulled by two groups of livestock, so as to save the effort of digging. ”

"The third type is bulldozers. The wheels of the carriage were reduced to several pairs of wheels and the weight was increased, and a copper-iron shovel was set at the front end, and the front end was pulled by livestock. However, the dozer should not be too large, otherwise it will be difficult for even livestock to pull it. This can be used to level the land and dig ditches with an excavator. ”

I put down the pen, watched the two of them finish memorizing, and continued: "As for the rammed earth, with the tower crane, I don't need to teach you how to use the equipment to ram the earth, right?" ”

Gong Yijin nodded hurriedly: "Your Majesty, these instruments are really exquisite, and the minister expects that they can be realized, but it may take a long time." ”

I breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't worry, building a city is not an overnight thing, this is just my idea of equipment, let me tell you about my plan for the new city." ”

I stood up and waved, and the two of us followed to look at the map.

"To the south of Xianyang City are Xingle Palace, Zhangtai, Xin Palace, and Afang Palace. Among them, Afang Palace is built in Shanglin Garden, and there is Zhangtai along with it, and Afang Palace has been renamed Tianzi Temple on the map, so the location of the new city actually has two palaces and two temples, which should be taken into account when designing the new city. Although the two palaces are out of the palace, after all, they are where the emperor is, not to mention the two temples, the center of the new city cannot be sandwiched between the two temples and Xianyang City, but must go south to cross the two temples. ”

The Pole Temple was originally a living temple built by Ying Zheng for himself, and in history, after Hu Hai succeeded to the throne, he obeyed his wishes and moved the Qin Guozong Temple to the Pole Temple. I naturally did so, and after Ying Zheng died, he moved the Qin State Sect Temple, otherwise every time I sacrificed to the temple, in addition to running to Yongcheng, I had to run two places in Xianyang, which was too tiring......

Bai Chong echoed: "Your Majesty is wise, this is not only in line with the etiquette system, but also can avoid the straight road from Jimiao to Lishan." ”

I pointed to the map and continued: "The center of the new city is one mile south of the Temple of the Son of Heaven, and it should not be too south. In the center, a building with a length of nine leads (1 lead 33 meters), a width of three leads, and a height of three floors is built in the center of Daqin Commerce. Among them, it is divided into square markets, which are leased to merchants after completion, and must have functions such as accommodation, dining, entertainment, and shopping. The style is the roof of the roll shed and the top of the central hill, and the reservoir is left between the roof of the roll shed and the top of the hill for fire prevention. Of course, this ratio is what I expected, and you need to correct it appropriately so that it is in harmony. ”

When I finished speaking, the two of them stayed where they were. Although I had given them so many shocks before, this time, the two of them were scared.

Can a pavilion with a length of 270 steps, a width of 90 steps, and a height of three stories be built? I can build! The main hall of Afang Palace is 500 steps from east to west and 110 steps deep, isn't the construction still started?

The question is, Afang Palace was built as a court palace for the future empire, and the roof of the heavy eaves palace only has two layers of roof, and the actual usable area is still one floor, and this kind of large building is built with three floors? No one has ever built it! Even if it can be built, how much will it cost? I'm afraid it's worse than Ah Fang Palace!

The two of them wailed in their hearts, and they couldn't wait to raise their feet to chase Li Si and Feng Zheng back: "How dare we talk about this kind of thing, Prime Minister, come back quickly!" His Majesty's thoughts are even more terrifying than the Emperor's! ’

I knew what they were thinking by looking at the expressions of the two, so I ignored it and continued: "As for the way from Daqin Commerce to Xianyang, I originally wanted to plan together, but there are two temples and two palaces, and I am afraid that there will be violations. Therefore, including the Xue Palace, you can design it yourself, there is only one point, you must show the majesty of Great Qin! ”

After that, I turned around and sat down, and the two of them hurriedly returned to me, and Bai Chong was a little trembling when he spoke: "Your Majesty, if you talk about regulation, this Great Qin business ......" If it is built, I am afraid that it will be more majestic than all the palaces, and now it is not appropriate to talk about regulation!

I waved my hand: "You just have to design, as for how to build, I have to decide." ”

The two glanced at each other, and said helplessly: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Bai Chong was just about to retire, when he suddenly remembered something: "Your Majesty, Li Xiang has already instructed his ministers about the road construction in Xianyang City." Chen went back and thought about it, since the Temple of the Son of Heaven is burning green bricks, why don't you directly use green bricks to pave the road? Rammed earth and sand under the bricks, if it is a red brick, it is easy to break. The minister calculated that although the cost of green bricks is doubled, considering the future maintenance and replacement, the cost is low. ”

I thought about it for a moment and nodded: "You discuss with Li Si and Ge Yue, if you can afford the money and food, but." ”

The two bowed and retreated.

I wanted to go to Lao Zongzheng, but after thinking about it, I sat down and waited for Li Si.
