Chapter 131 Advantages of the Drum Type Waterwheel
Chapter 131
The little brat Luo Shixin rushed to the side, picked up a bamboo tube with a diameter as wide as the mouth of a bowl, and looked at it curiously.
"Brother Yang, what are they doing? Why do they still have a big bamboo tube? Is it used to hold water or wine?"
What Yang Qian hates most is this kind of naughty kid who looks like he has ADHD, as annoying as Lu Ban Li.
"It's not used to hold drinks, it's intended to be used to install a water tanker.
Brother Luo Xian, come here quickly and just stand here and admire it like a brother."
"Waterwheel?" Cheng Yaojin was immediately delighted. "Xian brother, you are fooling Lao Cheng, right?"
"Don't think that I, Old Cheng, am short-sighted because I come from a small place. Your thing, which leaks water from all sides, looks like a hoop. How can it be called a water wheel?"
Yang Qian's face immediately turned dark. Damn, what is a wheel ring?
"Lao Cheng, what did you just say?" Xu Shiji next to him suddenly said something.
Cheng Yaojin said subconsciously. "I said, don't think that my old Cheng is short-sighted because I come from a small place..."
"Brother Cheng, you are right." Xu Shiji agreed with a serious expression.
“!!!!!”
Cheng Yaojin rolled up his sleeves angrily and rushed over. Xu Shiji's legs and feet were very fast and his agility was very agile, so he burrowed into the crowd.
The two of them chased and escaped like this, with Luo Shixin shouting and applauding from the side, and the daily routine of jumping up and down happened again.
Manager Liu: "..."
A group of busy workers: "..."
Yang Qian wanted to applaud Xu Shiji's venomous tongue, but he also wanted to hit someone. Could you please be quiet?
Niu Jinda also shook his head helplessly. "Ignore those two bastards, it will be over in a while."
"Brother Xian, is this really a waterwheel that you are tinkering with?"
Yang Qian shook his head helplessly, feeling that it would be better to chat with Niu Jinda because it would not bother him.
"In the past, there were waterwheels that were parallel to the ground and wheeled waterwheels that were similar to this vertical cylinder waterwheel."
"In terms of efficiency and ease of use, wheeled waterwheels are superior to rollovers."
"The wheeled waterwheel is equivalent to sealing the entire waterwheel on three sides, leaving only one mouth to draw water."
"This kind of waterwheel is not only too heavy, but also consumes a lot of materials and the cost is too high."
"The amount of water it draws is actually higher than that of a rolling truck. A wheeled waterwheel of this size can irrigate two to three hundred acres of paddy fields, which is the limit."
“The tubular cart I’m making now only has wooden stakes.
Except for the central axis, which is made of cast iron, most other parts use lighter bamboo materials.”
"The weight and cost are less than 30% of the previous wheeled waterwheels, but it is flexible and fast to draw water, which is more than ten times that of wheeled waterwheels."
Niu Jinda took a breath of cold air.
Before he could speak, Cheng Yaojin, who had already rushed back, panted heavily and exclaimed exaggeratedly with his eyes bulging.
"real or fake?……"
"Whether it's true or not, we'll find out soon." Yang Qian said with confidence and a calm smile.
"Could it be that you, junior brother, made this thing?"
"Of course... no, it was my father's handiwork." Yang Qian calmly and casually threw the blame to Luoyang, the eastern capital more than a hundred miles away.
Zhili, who was behind Yang Qian, lowered his head silently, always feeling that this was not good.
The young master has paid so much silently, but all the honors have been taken by the master. Alas... the young master is really too kind.
Manager Liu also had a sigh on his face. The young master is indeed a true gentleman. He knows that he has important responsibilities in the Ministry of Works.
I was afraid that my master would be busy with government affairs and would make few achievements, so I worked hard and researched and developed farm tools all day long to help my master's career.
This is truly a good son of the Yang family who is extremely filial.
In the warm public room of the Ministry of Industry, Yang Ning, a veteran cadre who was sipping tea soup, suddenly sneezed.
Yang Ning rubbed her nose and looked suspicious. She didn't feel cold either. Could it be that the lady is thinking of me again?
Hmm... It seems that Yang Jinzhong, a rough old man, can't compare to his wife Han's tea-making skills.

Xu Shiji put his hands in his sleeves and strolled over unsteadily.
Facing the biting north wind, he shook his head and looked cool, using his strength to demonstrate what it means to stand by and watch.
"Look at how weak these people are. If it were Xu, he could hold up that piece of wood with one hand."
Luo Shixin chuckled. "Although Lao Xu's mouth is a bit damaged, his words are reasonable. I can also..."
Niu Jinda was still honest and asked Yang Qian honestly.
"You really don't need brothers to help? We are all strong men with strong shoulders. Brother Xian, there is something going on here, we can't just watch."
Cheng Yaojin nodded in agreement.
"That's right. Our brothers have been eating, drinking and sleeping in your house for free these past few days. I, Lao Cheng, are a little embarrassed."
"..." Yang Qian's face turned dark immediately. He just wanted to eat and drink for free. What does it mean to sleep for free?
Can you say something humane? I am a dignified, humble, gentleman, and a decent person, and I don’t run a brothel.
Yang Qian said seriously. "I understand the thoughts of these brothers. I think you should have a good rest and recuperate your energy.
Tomorrow's competition is the big deal. As for the chores here, I won't bother you to take action."
When the sun was three poles high, with the joint efforts of one or two hundred people, the first barrel cart was fixed and sat firmly on the embankment.
Cheng Yaojin and others couldn't help but widen their eyes at this moment, looking at this barrel-shaped cart that was very different from the previous rollovers.
As the water wheel of the barrel wheel submerged into the water, the flow of the river began to drive the water wheel to rotate.
Thanks to the fact that the core components are made of cast iron instead of wood, and the natural grease provided by the formula is used as lubricant.
The waterwheel of the entire waterwheel rotates extremely smoothly, and the huge bamboo tube, which is more than half a foot and as thick as a sea bowl, holds tubes of river water.
With the rotation of the water wheel, it was transported to a high place, and then flowed out, splashing into the diversion channel that had been placed.
Along the water tank, the slightly turbid river water started flowing, running all the way along the water tank...
Seeing this scene, nearly a hundred servants and people cheered excitedly.
Manager Liu was also so excited that he couldn't help himself. As expected, the young master is really awesome.
Such exquisite thought only cost less than one-third of the previous cost.
That's why we designed a barrel-type water tanker that can carry water of this type but far exceeds that of the old-fashioned overturning tanker.
Seeing that everyone was gathered there happily watching the excitement and talking a lot, Manager Liu clapped his hands and shouted loudly.
"Fellow folks, stop watching the fun, work harder, and set up all the remaining trolleys..."
All the people shouted excitedly and devoted themselves to the assembly and installation of the drum waterwheel with greater enthusiasm.
Old Uncle Li came over with excitement on his face and bowed deeply to Yang Qian.
"Young master, you are simply a god. Such abilities are definitely not something that a mortal can achieve."
"Old Uncle Li, this is my father. It was designed by my father. I just made it out of my father's design."
Old Uncle Li's face stiffened slightly, and he chuckled. "I'm not confused, but we all believe what you say, don't we all?"
"Yes, sir, that's what you say!" Several old village chiefs from Daze Village who came over also hummed and laughed.
Yang Qian: "..." Why don't you believe it?
