On top of the round wooden house, there are sails made of iron silkworm silk on the improved windmill blades.
Its structure and transmission design have also been improved.
The wind blows from afar.
The windmill blades slowly rotated against the wind, driving the millstone inside the wooden house to slowly rotate.
The most important thing is that there is a wooden support vertical to the ground outside the wooden house.
People can adjust and move the windward side of the windmill blades by moving and adjusting this bracket, so that they can always be aligned with the wind direction when the windmill is working.
Xu Ji smiled.
Everyone behind him also cheered!
"Long live the Heavenly Lord! Long live the Heavenly Lord!" Seeing the windmill driving the millstone to rotate, the grain poured in was slowly ground and shelled.
Everyone became happy.
Another sacred item that saves time and effort and can help everyone!
Xu Ji was also very satisfied.
"Next time, we can bring over the water pumping, sawing, and papermaking subsystems!" He thought in his mind.
Nowadays, people in Shashui have waterwheels to collect water.
But after all, the way a waterwheel draws water depends on the river section and the flow rate of the water.
It may not be applicable in many places.
Moreover, today's southwestern Shandong is mostly mountainous.
Compared with waterwheels, the windmills used by Professor Chen Ang to pump water are undoubtedly more applicable.
"Next month, we will build a big one!" Xu Ji said.
Now this windmill is just a test product.
The windmill blades are only a little over five meters tall.
The horsepower is probably not very good either.
Xu Ji remembered that Professor Chen Ang said that the largest Dutch windmill in the Middle Ages had 20-meter-long blades and more than 6,000 horsepower!
Even in this mythical world, it is scary enough!
A windmill with 6,000 horsepower...
It's like the people have an immortal who doesn't need to rest and won't complain about being tired, helping them work every day!
The best thing is...
Because it is a mythical world, as long as the windmill is high enough.
The force of the blowing wind is no less than that of the Dutch lowlands.
so……
In the future, it is completely feasible for windmills to pump water!
So, Meng Bai, Mi Lu and others immediately took the craftsmen and made preparations again.
A month later, a terrifying wooden house that made everyone tremble was erected.
The wooden house has three floors and is more than ten meters high.
The four windmill leaves were unfolded, each one several feet long.
Because it is a mythical world, the wood quality is top-notch.
The sail made of iron silkworms is also very strong and tough.
So, when this monster-level windmill faced the wind, it slowly started to rotate.
The huge force, through conduction, drives the millstone weighing thousands of pounds to slowly rotate.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
"Did we do this?" Mi Lu asked Dou Yu beside him.
The little tiger nodded: "Yes, Your Highness..."
Mi Lu looked at the thousands of kilograms of graphite and was also being spun around.
He swallowed: "We created something that doesn't use Taoist magic, but is comparable to the Nascent Soul monk?"
"Yes, Your Highness!" Dou Yu was also frightened.
The huge windmill, after it was actually built, exceeded their imagination.
The unfolded chariot leaves were just like the true form of the great sage of the monster race in the mountains of 100,000 miles away. The sails woven from iron silk slowly drove the chariot leaves to rotate against the blowing wind.
This huge force, through the wooden or bronze parts, drives the stone mill in the wooden house to rotate like a giant.
Tianzun, who was riding on the back of the bull, was already admiring him.
I just marvel at the content, which is heart-stopping.
"good!"
"Next year, you can use it to pump water!"
"From now on, as long as there are rivers passing through, there will be no drought!"
"We can also use it to drain swamps and drain puddles where floods accumulate..."
Mi Lu listened and his heart trembled.
Chu State...
The water network is densely covered, rivers are crisscrossed, and swamps are everywhere.
There are many miasmas among them, breeding insects and diseases.
If it were the Chu State, such huge windmills would be built in these places.
Wouldn't that be...
This is equivalent to the Chu State having hundreds or even thousands of immortal kings all at once.
These immortal kings do not use incense and copper as offerings, nor do they compete with others for resources.
As long as there is wind, they can exert their power on the surroundings day and night.
Pumping water, grinding...
It can even be used in other ways.
In addition to not being able to fight with others, and being afraid of being destroyed by others.
These windmills are simply a weapon of the country!
"Dou Qing, have you written everything down?" Mi Lu asked.
Dou Yu nodded: "I have written down all the parts that Tianzun ordered me to be responsible for!"
He pointed to his head.
"and you?"
Mi Lu also nodded.
……………………
So, starting from July, this kind of giant windmill began to appear on both sides of the sand and water at a rate of one every half a month.
Then it gradually extends inland.
In the process, Xu Ji discovered a very interesting thing: Although now, in the southwestern mountains and plains of Lu State where the Shashui River Basin radiates.
Common people generally have less than 100 prenatal education courses per capita.
Except for the people brought by Meng Sun and Mi Lu, there were basically no literate people.
but……
The village chief elected by each village and the person responsible for order and organization in the township.
But they all have one characteristic.
artisan!
Most of them are craftsmen!
Either a carpenter, a mason, a potter, or a blacksmith.
In short, they are all skilled people.
This is interesting.
Xu Ji observed carefully for a long time before he understood the reason.
This is also his fault.
Because he brought the waterwheel and made it popular.
So, after witnessing and personally experiencing the benefits of waterwheels.
The simple people regarded it as a sacred object one after another.
If Xu Ji hadn't allowed them to worship, some people would have set up statues of waterwheels at home and worshiped a non-existent waterwheel goddess.
But this also resulted in the high prestige of those who mastered the skills of making waterwheels in various villages.
When the village chief is elected every year, no one else can compete with these people.
Therefore, the elected village chiefs are basically craftsmen.
Therefore, although Xu Ji has actually been laissez-faire.
He just asked Meng Bai to lead his people to help the village chiefs resolve conflicts.
Except for public affairs, there is a grass-roots team, and other matters are ignored and left to the villagers to govern themselves.
However, it has invisibly and unintentionally contributed to a civil governance system composed of craftsmen.
These craftsmen use craftsman thinking to solve problems.
So, Xu Ji discovered it all at once.
They actually discussed it among themselves and decided to build public warehouses in various important transportation locations.
Every year, 20% of the harvested grain and incense copper are sent to the public warehouse.
Isn’t this Chang Ping Cang?
And because the population in southwestern Shandong was originally sparse, but the area was vast and there were many people.
There are dozens of miles between each village.
There are very few conflicts.
Although the population has increased nowadays, it is also because of the abundance of materials.
There is no contradiction.
Therefore, apart from roads and warehouses, there is no need for any other extra manpower.
People can take care of themselves.
Because now the village chief, He Bo, and the land are all chosen by their own votes.
Those who might have been riding on their heads now have to be controlled by them and even have to please them.
This led to the common people feeling that they did not need any officials.
That's good.
But Xu Ji knew that this was not a long-term solution.
"When I go back, I have to ask Professor Chen Ke for advice on system construction..."
At the same time, Xu Ji also understood.
It seems that he accidentally gave birth to something that might be great for this mythical world with low productivity!
People take care of themselves.
Add craftsmen (engineers) to manage the village...
"If word spreads, we might be surrounded and suppressed..." Xu Ji had this realization.
