Chapter 437 No one is pounding fast? Then a few more
"Wow~"
"when!"
The water in the bamboo tube continues to flow, and more and more water is stored in the tank behind the tree trunk.
As the water continued to pour in, it became heavier and heavier, and the originally raised part began to slowly fall down.
At the other end of the tree trunk, the thick wooden stick also left the stone mortar.
When the water in the tank became more, the tree trunk finally lost its balance completely.
The water tank suddenly dropped down, and all the water in it spilled out with a crash.
Then the thick end of the tree trunk rose high, paused for a moment, and then suddenly fell down.
The wooden stick embedded under the tree trunk hit the stone mortar, making a "dang" sound.
The principle of this thing is very simple. It is actually a seesaw that we often play.
The difference is that the people at both ends of the seesaw are replaced by water and the thick wood itself.
If this continues, as long as water is continuously poured into it, this simple water meter will work tirelessly.
Of course, the real water pounder does not look like this, but relies on the erosion of the water flow to drive the rotating shaft, and then the things on the rotating shaft drive the wooden pole to pound the rice.
It's just that this kind of water trap is too complicated. After Han Cheng and Lai fiddled with it for a few days, they felt that it couldn't be completed in a short time.
After some thought, Han Cheng found a new way to create this extremely simple water bucket.
Of course, this type of water barrier is just a transition, and attempts to develop complex versions of the water barrier will continue.
Because this simple version of the water hammer can only be used to pound rice or smash some other things, and the complex version can be used to drive stone mills and other things as long as it is slightly modified based on the water hammer. Han Cheng naturally
Won't give up.
The people of the Qingque tribe who were gathered around looked at the water buckets that were raised and dropped from time to time under the continuous flow of water, and their eyes widened.
Is this how this tool is actually used?
Ordinary water still has such a function?
After the surprise, a sense of sudden enlightenment arose in my heart.
Water can indeed be used in this way, but they couldn't think of such a method until the Son of God had completely finished things.
"Get some millet and try it,"
Han Cheng looked at the people around him who looked a little dazed and surprised, and said.
Because I told you when I came here that I was here to experiment with the water weeds I had made, so I brought some millet with me.
After hearing Han Cheng's voice, Zhuang, who often pounded rice, quickly brought a jar over.
Taking advantage of the gap when the water mortar slowly rose, I put three bowls of millet into the stone mortar.
Then everyone stood together and waited to see the results.
The water flowed, filling the water tank, and the water mortar rose and fell, falling into the stone mortar.
This really doesn't require any human effort, just the post-cleaning work, which is really very easy.
A few people who often pounded rice felt very happy when they saw the shelled millet smashed in the stone mortar.
However, this joy did not last long because they discovered a problem.
That is, the speed of this water mill is too slow. They pounded rice at normal speed even five times in a row, but this water mill could not pound the rice even once.
It saves effort, but the speed is just too impressive, right?
If you use this kind of water to pound rice, can the millet washed out at the end of the day be enough for the tribesmen to eat in one meal?
this……
More and more people are aware of this problem, and the people in the Qingque tribe who were happy for a while soon became somewhat silent.
Wu's brows were also furrowed. This water hammer was indeed exquisite, but the speed of pounding the rice was indeed a bit too slow.
With this calculation in his mind, Wu's brows suddenly widened not long after.
Because he remembered what Mu Mu had been doing these past few days.
The stone and wood used to cut the stone mortar require more than one piece.
In other words, this is not the only water trap that the Son of God wants to install.
Although the speed of a water hammer is not as fast as that of a human being, if you need to install three, four or more, won't the rice pounding speed increase?
Moreover, this water mill relies on the power of water flow. It is tireless and never slows down, unlike people who get tired after pounding rice for a while.
Calculating it this way, this water bucket is very easy to use!
With this thought in mind, Wu looked around and found that the terrain here was open and it would not be a problem to install three or four water buckets.
It has to be said that Wu, the original wisest man of the Qingque Tribe, did not gain his fame in vain.
While many people were still confused, he had already figured out what was involved.
After Wu figured it out, the more he thought about it, the more delighted and excited he became.
Seeing everyone still looking confused, he whispered softly, ready to explain the matter to everyone.
"I have something to say, please listen carefully!"
Of course, this was not what Wu said, but Han Cheng, who was standing aside, figured it out after noticing Wu's actions.
The witch does not have the momentum of Prime Minister Zhuge, so the people of the Qingque tribe will naturally not suffer from a recurrence of heart disease due to his free and flowing talk.
But the effect is still there.
After Wu's words came out, everyone suddenly felt a sense of understanding. Some of them reacted as fiercely as a strong man. They picked up their own palms and slapped them directly on the head.
Yes, one water hammer can't match the speed of a person pounding rice, so wouldn't it be enough to set up a few more?
I can't figure out such a simple thing.
There were still many things that they couldn't figure out. When Han Dashenzi asked Lai to get a bamboo pole that was opened and tied to the other side of the three pillars, Zhuang's head patting speed became faster like a water hammer.
.
Two bamboo poles filled the water tank of the water bucket at the same time, and the time between the water bucket falling together was shortened by half.
That is to say, according to the current frequency, three water mills can exceed the normal speed of one person pounding rice.
Moreover, the wooden sticks used to pound rice under the water hammer are thicker, and the stone mortar underneath is larger than the stone mortar used to pound rice by hand, so more millet can be pounded out at one time.
While everyone was waiting, the grains in the stone mortar were gradually pounded into shells.
Seeing this, Zhuang and Qinghua, who had a patch of red on their foreheads, were about to go over and take out the pounded millet from the stone mortar for cleaning, but Han Cheng stopped them.
After adding another bamboo pipe, the speed of the water bucket became faster, and the time interval in between was not enough for people to get out the millet inside.
If you operate in this way, you will easily be injured by the water trap.
Han Cheng found a wooden pillar that he had ordered to be brought before. When the water bucket was raised, he stood near the horizontal bar to support the trunk of the tree. In this way, the water bucket could not fall down. Zhuang and Qingcao could
Feel free to take out the millet from the stone mortar and clean it without getting too panicked.
After re-packing the millet in the stone mortar, and then lowering the standing wood supported below, the Shui Lei continued to work tirelessly...
