Chapter 221 Dragon Bone Waterwheel
The gentlemen looked at each other in bewilderment; they had forgotten what the gentleman had done.
Several adults helped to lift the inconvenient keel, and the group came to a place with water flowing.
Install the keel waterwheel. There are foot-operated, hand-cranked, wind-driven and livestock-driven keel waterwheels. The keel waterwheel they made first is the traditional foot-operated type.
After it was installed, several adults scrambled to be the first to experience it.
Finally, two or three people competed to get on the waterwheel. They sat or stood on the pedals of the waterwheel and stepped down hard, as if they were marking time, and the pedals began to turn like a wheel.
The other people looked at the sink with burning eyes.
As the keel waterwheel rotates, the water is carried upward by the long trough.
"The water is coming up! It's coming up!"
The two or three people pedaling saw the water begin to rise and sped up.
The water is rising faster now.
The adults watching nearby shouted, "Hurry up, hurry up!"
"Hey!"
The water rises rapidly until it flows out.
"It's OK! You can use it!"
Seeing the success of the field verification, the adults did not relax, but went and stopped repeatedly, and only felt relieved after confirming that the keel waterwheel could be used perfectly.
Moreover, the wood used for this keel waterwheel is also carefully selected. After being processed, it can be soaked in water for a long time without rotting.
"Excuse me, my lords."
Sumu was now preparing to return to the village with this successful waterwheel.
"No need to thank me, sir. We should thank you for allowing us to see these drawings and participate in the production." The adults waved their hands.
"I'll trouble you all with the rest of the things." There are more than one type of waterwheels in those drawings.
In addition, for the further selection of wood for subsequent waterwheels and consideration of price-performance ratio, we will choose how to further improve it to make it more in line with the situation at that time.
"Please leave it to us, my lord!" several adults assured.
After both parties said goodbye, Su Mu turned around and went back.
Ji Shiyan saw from afar Su Mu driving the carriage back, followed by a man pulling a big thing, and he knew that the waterwheel was a success.
Su Mu dismounted and Ji Shiyan came to greet him.
"I'm back!" The voice exuded happiness.
"Mumu, are you tired these days?"
"It's okay, I'm not tired."
"Look!" Su Mu couldn't hide the proud expression on his face.
He patted the waterwheel with his hand and said, "I pulled the keel waterwheel back."
"This is the dragon-bone waterwheel." Ji Shiyan walked around the waterwheel several times. The feeling of seeing the drawing was completely different from seeing the real thing.
The real keel waterwheel is shocking.
"How's things going in the village?" She didn't know how the plans were going during the few days she was away.
"The progress here is pretty good, and the various processes are proceeding steadily." According to the drawn drawings, various ditches and water storage areas are gradually repaired, and the dilapidated places are all brand new.
"Let's transport the water truck over and install it."
"Mumu, do you want to take a rest first?" Ji Shiyan felt a little distressed. It must not be easy to make this dragon-bone waterwheel. In addition, Mumu looked exhausted after rushing back non-stop.
"I'm fine. The waterwheel matter is more important." She didn't feel tired either. Her physical condition was in great shape now.
"Row."
"Mumu, you sit in the carriage at the back and we'll pull it."
The group's carriage creaked as it headed towards the planned destination.
When the people who had been pulled down heard that the keel water truck they had been looking forward to had arrived, they hurried over to catch a glimpse of it.
They had only heard of this thing and knew the great significance of this keel waterwheel, but had never seen it with their own eyes.
By the time they arrived, the keel waterwheel had been assembled and installed.
"You are here. Please come over when the installation is finished."
"Yes, we rushed here as soon as we got the news." There was no time to waste, for fear of missing out.
The person standing on the keel waterwheel began to exert force, and the water rose and flowed out slowly, just like when the experiment had just been completed, there was no mistake at all, and it operated perfectly.
The water flowed into the trough, and then into the ditch. The water in the ditch moved forward, and the people followed the flow of the water until they saw the water flow into the farmland, where they could get water just one or two steps away.
Even if a hole is opened, the water can flow into the farmland and flood the fields.
People were overjoyed and ran back excitedly, looking at the dragon-bone waterwheel as if they were seeing a priceless treasure.
“This keel waterwheel, this keel waterwheel…” Those people were so choked up that they didn’t know how to start.
They look extraordinary and have superb skills, but the reality is, the money they earn is not as much as people imagine. Every household has land, and everyone knows and has experienced the hardships of farming.
If we had this waterwheel, we wouldn't have to fetch water bucket by bucket for irrigation in the hot summer, and get so tired that we can't even stand up straight every time.
This will be a great thing!!
Su Mu and Ji Shiyan were also part of a group of people who followed the water flow. They were very excited to see the water flowing near the farmland as expected, as this proved that this method was feasible.
"The keel waterwheel was a success, and we need to continue with other aspects."
"County lord, we are here in a hurry!" They were as if they had taken stimulants. They were extremely excited at the moment and wanted to complete all the plans in a quarter of an hour. The water flow after completion would be shocking!
Even if someone stops them from doing it, they have to do it! No one can stop them, they have to do it.
"Prince, Lady, we." Those people stammered. They wanted to continue right now and didn't want to waste even a moment.
"Okay, go and get busy." Ji Shiyan looked at these people's expectant and excited eyes and couldn't bear to keep them here.
"Yes." After those people bowed and said goodbye, they ignored their own etiquette and walked back quickly. When they were a certain distance away from Su Mu and Ji Shiyan, they felt that the two of them could not see them, so they lifted the hem of their clothes and ran back to their own place.
What they didn’t know was that with these two people’s eyesight, it was impossible for them not to see the scene of these people running wildly.
Su Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "These people are quite lively." He had never seen anyone who loved their work so much.
Ji Shiyan was deeply surprised. These people had behaved so dignified these days. Could it be that they were so lively in private? Or was he restraining them by being around them?
Ji Shiyan couldn't help but laugh.
"Come on, show me where the progress is." The keel waterwheel has been installed, and there is nothing else to do, so we can go and take a look.
"Okay, I'll show you around." Ji Shiyan nodded and didn't take those things to heart.
