Chen Zhouheng looked at Qi Yaoyao with brown eyes and continued, "It should make Shu and Wu feel grateful that because Ma Jun is not good at speaking and is repeatedly jealous and slandered, his military creation was ultimately not adopted, and only the Water Transfer Hundred Dramas, which are deeply loved by Emperor Ming of Wei, Cao Rui, was created."

"But those are all toys, they are indeed a bit..." Chen Zhouheng pursed his lips and gave her a look you know.

Qi Yaoyao turned her face and closed her eyes, trying to control her anger.

"Yaoyao, why are you angry?" Chen Zhouheng looked at her innocently and said, "That water-turning and hundreds of plays is indeed a toy! I remember the records in "The Three Kingdoms": It is made of a large wood carving, making it look like a wheel, put it on the flat ground, and dive into water. It is set as a female music dance, and then the wooden man beats the drums and blows the flute; it is a mountain, and the wooden man dances and makes the wooden man dance balls, throws swords, and the walls are in the back, and the free entry and exit are all at once. The officials are in the office, spring mill, fighting cocks, and changing all the ends. These three differences are."

"Water turns to a hundred plays, it's a puppet that can move." Qi Yaoyao's black puppet looked at him and said, "That's right, Ma Jun made a big wheel that uses water as power, and then put all kinds of puppets on this wheel. Some of these puppets played music and danced, some played gongs and drums, some threw swords and lost balls, some made some somersaults, some walked ropes, and their movements were flexible, vivid and wonderful."

Chen Zhouheng smiled and said, "When I study it, I will also have fun with my son."

Qi Yaoyao stood up after hearing this, pinched her waist with both hands and said, "You really want to piss me off."

"What's wrong?" Chen Zhouheng looked at her in confusion and asked, "Sit down, sit down, say slowly, how can I know if you don't say it, and I don't know why you are angry." He blinked innocently.

Qi Yaoyao took up her skirt and sat down, "Now from the literature we can learn that this water is a hundred drama, and it is powered by water to make such a villain move."

"Yes!" Chen Zhouheng nodded.

"Water power can do many things, such as water wheels." Qi Yaoyao said without thinking.

"I know." Chen Zhouheng nodded again, "I have seen either a circular waterwheel or a pedal waterwheel."

"So have you used other places, such as spinning wheels and looms, so that you don't need Dongdong's grandmother, you'll be jijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijiji

"Uh..." Chen Zhouheng stood on the spot when he heard this. Taohua blinked for a long time before saying, "It seems like you can try it."

"Do you know the revolving lantern?" Qi Yaoyao calmed down and looked at him and asked again.

"I know, the lanterns that often appear on the Lantern Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival." Chen Zhouheng nodded, "You like it! We can do it. The ones you draw are so realistic, and the ones you make will definitely look better."

"Do you know how to do it?" Qi Yaoyao looked at him curiously and asked.

"I know! There is a wheel axle inside the revolving lantern, and paper-cutting is on the wheel axle. After lit the candlelight in the lantern, the paper-cutting images will be projected on the lamp screen of the lantern. The key technology of the revolving lantern is that these paper-cutting images can keep moving, so that the scene of people chasing and changing the scene appears on the lamp screen. It is very fun." Chen Zhouheng looked at her with a thrilling look.

"Then why does it turn?" Qi Yaoyao asked with her apricot eyes looking straight at him.

"I don't know this?" Chen Zhouheng pondered for a moment and said honestly as he looked at her.

"These strange tricks and tricks are considered. Why do they move without manpower? Can these reasons be used in our production and life to improve production efficiency and improve our quality of life?" Qi Yaoyao took a deep breath and looked at him and said slowly.

"Uh..." Chen Zhouheng's ginger pupils looked at her without blinking, "It seems that no one has ever thought about it so deeply."

"Yes! These strange tricks and tricks were sneered and thrown away directly." Qi Yaoyao said, looking at him angrily with her cheeks puffed.

Since ancient times, compared with "reason", Chinese people have attached more importance to "art".

Therefore, although we can find many scientific aspects from the water turning into a hundred plays and the revolving lantern, unfortunately, the old antiques only regard these things as "strange tricks and tricks" and fail to pay attention to the scientific principles behind them.

In later generations, a large number of Western objects came with the powerful ships and cannons of Western powers. People were amazed at the exquisiteness and ingenuity of these rare objects, but they still felt that this was "strange tricks and tricks" and they were all sealed. This has to be said to be a historical inertia that is difficult to change.

This revolving lamp lit the candle in the lamp, so that the generated hot air forms a hot air flow to drive the wheel shaft to rotate.

At this time, the paper cutting on the wheel axle can be projected on the lamp screen of the lantern in turn, which will form an external effect of chasing each other, like a walking horse. This is the origin of the name "moving lantern".

The production principle of the revolving lantern is actually basically the same as that of modern gas engines.

There was a revolving lantern in the Tang and Song dynasties, and European gas engines were not invented for barbecue until 1550.

After further development and evolution of gas engines, there was a turbojet engine. The importance of engines to industry is self-evident.

Qi Yaoyao looked at him with an apology and said, "I'm sorry, my tone is not very good."

Sometimes modern people think that the ancients are particularly "stupid". Did the ancients be stupid? On the contrary, they are smart!

Of course, the ancients also knew that technology could bring wealth, but wealth was sometimes not the most important thing for the ancients.

For rulers, the core demand is stability, not efficiency.

Stability can sacrifice everything!

If technology only brings about a simple improvement in production efficiency, then both the ruler and the ruled will accept it.

The problem is that technology will inevitably affect distribution, production relations, and class power changes while improving efficiency.

And how to influence the method is difficult to predict.

This is the real fatal thing.

The unknown is the most terrifying!

Different perspectives on the problem will have different consequences.

The biggest feature of this world is that there is no sustainable exponential growth, and there are cruel stock competition and zero-sum games everywhere.

For example, the plows used for arable land are innovated step by step, but any increase will be rapidly stabilized by population growth.

The result is that from ancient times to the present, no matter when, the average living standards of the people have been struggling on the line of food and clothing.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters, wars and plagues, have a more severe impact on population than technology.

So what else can technology be if it is not a "strange trick"?
