In fact, the competition between Ma Dai and Zhang Ren did not take much time.
When Ma Jun had finished teaching Liu Zhang, the competition between Ma Dai and Zhang Ren had come to an end.
Everyone is very confident about Ma Dai's abilities, so even if he doesn't come back, no one is worried about him.
And because the problem on Ma Jun's side was really difficult and no one could get away, Ma Dai left it to him to handle.
——
Back to Ma Jun, because he had Liu Zhang's permission, Ma Dai did not hide them and took them directly to the convoy that he and Pang Xi had previously accompanied.
Of course, Liu Zhang and Cheng Ji had noticed these carriages a long time ago and did not ask at first. Now that Ma Jun was in a bad mood, they did not dare to ask again.
I'm just curious as to what exactly requires such a large number of carriages to carry.
Cheng Ji heard what Pang Xi said just now that these carriages seemed to contain some kind of parts, and Cheng Ji didn't have much clue about things like machine tools, let alone Liu Zhang.
Sure enough, when Ma Jun arranged for the disguised servants from the Shenjian Battalion to lift the huge and even strange-looking wooden lumps out of the carriage, all the onlookers had the same confused expression.
He was not in the mood to explain to Liu Zhang, but Ma Jun saw that the farmer brothers who had gathered around were all looking at them with curious eyes, so he did not hesitate to tell them the purpose of the overturned car. After all, if the overturned car was left behind, it would still have to be paid.
Let them use it, and they will naturally teach it in detail.
"Everyone, you may not understand what these parts are yet. It doesn't matter. If you want to assemble this thing, you will learn it after watching it a few times."
As he spoke, Ma Jun pointed to a pile of parts that had been laid out on one side, and called on the brothers to start assembling the first improved rollover.
Under everyone's shocked gazes, the brothers of the Shenjian Battalion were indeed well-trained. In less than a moment of burning incense, the general framework of the overturning car had begun to take shape.
Farmers with a little knowledge could vaguely guess what he looked like at work just from the appearance of the overturned truck.
Liu Zhang, on the other hand, could not figure out how this thing worked from the beginning to the end. After all, from the appearance, it looked like a keel waterwheel, and it looked like a large centipede with many joints.
But with his previous experience, he didn't dare to point out Ma Jun's things casually. This guy is not old, but he is a bit aggressive when he talks about things he knows well, and he is not as thin as he looks on the outside.
Diametrically opposed.
As time went by, the first rollover truck in Shu was finally assembled on the plains outside Chengdu.
Ma Jun announced to everyone that the overturned car was assembled, and everyone was full of expectations.
At this moment someone asked:
"Little brother, you said this thing only needs one person to operate it, but it's so big, how can one person push it?"
Hearing someone ask this, Ma Jun smiled. He had already considered this... Compared with the Central Plains, men in Shu are shorter in stature. This is due to various reasons such as climate and terrain.
The land is mountainous, and if you are tall and tall, it will be difficult for you to survive in areas with great altitude changes.
The first version of the improved rollover was made to suit the usage habits of taller farmers in the northwest and central plains.
When Ma Jun planned to just bring the first version of his improved car to Shu, he was opposed by Yi Xiaotian.
At that time, most of the people in Youjian Villa had never been to Shu and had little understanding of the living habits and physical conditions of the people there.
Therefore, the person who proposed to improve the rollover according to the regional characteristics of Shu was also Yi Xiaotian.
Now it seems that his proposal was indeed correct.
The farmer brother who asked the question seemed to be only as tall as Ma Jun's neck, and his figure was also on the thin side.
But just looking at this man's skin, which had become extremely rough due to exposure to wind and sun, Ma Jun knew that this man must be a very hard-working farmer brother.
In this case, you might as well just ask him to demonstrate it for everyone.
"This thing doesn't necessarily need to be pushed. Brother, come here and give it a try. I'll teach you and you will understand whether this thing works well or not."
The farmer and man did not shirk. After all, it was a matter of life and death in the future. It would be too irresponsible to shirk it at this time.
He just walked forward doubtfully and followed Ma Jun's instructions to the area near the overturned car.
"Everyone, please be careful. If you want to use the overturned car, you need to submerge the lower end into the water——"
Ma Jun pointed to the overturned truck that had been thrown into the river beside the field, and then motioned to the farmer next to him to come to his side:
"Because everyone has different body lengths and it is not always suitable to use pedals to get water, I specially designed two rotating shafts on the side of this overturned car."
The farmer brother had now discovered the handle that Ma Jun was pointing to, and subconsciously put his hand on it.
"That's it. This big brother asks you to turn the wooden shaft in the direction of northeast and southwest, and use a little force. That's right-"
Under Ma Jun's command, the farmer used his arms to push the shaft with a moderate force, and then something magical happened...
Under the gaze of everyone, the rolling keel blades submerged in the river seemed to be alive. They kept turning in the same direction. Whenever they came out of the water, they would bring a part of the river water with them.
As it rose, at the highest point of the overturn, the blades turned around and turned toward the river. At the moment when they turned, the river water blocked by the blades fell obediently into the ditch dug by the farmers.
.
In just a moment, the river water driven by the overturned car gathered into a thin stream in the ditch, pouring into the dry paddy field continuously.
Everyone was shocked. The farmers of Shu, who had always been isolated from the outside world, not only had not made any improvements to their agricultural equipment in a hundred years, but because Liu Yan and Liu Zhang, the father and son, wanted to set up a roadblock in the mountain, so that
Advanced farm tools outside of Shu can no longer be circulated in Shu.
Even so, the people of Shu still rely on their hard work and the unique fertile soil of the Chengdu Plain to grow countless grains and raise generations of Shu people.
But now, Liu Zhang suffered the consequences, but the people who were affected also suffered. Fortunately, today Ma Jun finally brought what can be said to be the most advanced irrigation tools today, and everyone finally knew what kind of irrigation tools the outside world was using.
Ways to grow food.
The hands of the farmer brother who was operating were shaking with excitement. He could clearly feel that he didn't use much effort at all, so that the car could work with such efficiency.
As Ma Jun said, because time is urgent now, he specially installed various propulsion devices for the rollover.
Whether it is wind power, water power, or human or animal power, the second version of the improved rollover can accept and use it.
Seeing this situation, the surrounding farmers couldn't help but cheered.
Even Cheng Ji clenched his fists in excitement, making Liu Zhang look a little out of place.
