(Two in one chapter)
"The source of the main channel in each village must be at the highest location, so as to ensure that the river water can flow to all the fields in the village!"
As evening approached, Li Zexuan went to the county government again. Seeing that County Magistrate He was organizing the officials of the county government to discuss the canal repair plan, he sat down and listened quietly. After listening, he stood up and pointed to the hanging hanging in the hall. He held a map and said.
In his previous life, he was a child from the countryside. In their village, water was pumped from the river into the canals in the summer, so he still had some experience in this area. Moreover, when he was a child, he would often run into the ditch in front of the door and play with water, for which he also received a lot of beatings!
It's just that at that time, water pumps were used to pump water. Where can he get a water pump in this era? He understands the principles of a water pump, and he will do it if you ask him to do it. However, the water pump must be driven by electricity or diesel. He cannot provide these two energy sources now!
So, after much deliberation, the best solution is the waterwheel!
"Master Hou, if the source of the main channel of each Zhuangzi is placed at the highest position, how will the water be led up?"
After hearing this, County Magistrate He finally couldn't help but ask the questions in his heart.
This is a question that everyone in the room wants to ask but dare not ask.
Li Ze High, and this thing has already taken initial shape. After the test is passed tomorrow, it can be quickly mass-produced. Then we can use it to guide the water in the Bahe Dam to various Zhuangzi!"
"What? There is such a magical tool in this world? It's incredible~!"
Hearing this, Magistrate He couldn't help but exclaimed.
The rest of the people were also full of shock. Although everyone found it incredible, no one doubted the authenticity of what Li Zexuan said. The main reason was that Li Zexuan had created too many miracles in the past, and in their minds they had already completed it. An omnipotent god~!
Li Zexuan said lightly: "There is nothing surprising about this. You just need to plan the channels of each village according to my wishes. As for the manufacture and placement of the waterwheel, I will ask the craftsmen to take care of it!"
"Yes! Mr. Hou~!"
Everyone quickly accepted the order.
Li Zexuan thought for a while and then ordered: "In addition, the third class of government officials should be expanded as soon as possible. After the canal is repaired, the county government must start to improve the public security environment in the city. The Commerce Department will also be established accordingly. This is related to Lantian County. You must pay attention to the development prospects!”
"Here~!"

Royal Palace, Manna Hall.
"What's going on with Li Zexuan? Didn't he say he wanted to build a waterwheel before? How is the progress now?"
After reviewing the memorial, Li Erban leaned on the dragon couch and asked tiredly.
"Back to Your Majesty, as far as I know, Marquis Yong'an has handed over the drawings to the workshop yesterday, and this afternoon, the workshop has already built the skeleton of the waterwheel! It seems that it will start in the afternoon of tomorrow. Let’s test it in the water~!”
Zhao Song knew that Li Er was concerned about the drought among the people recently, so he asked his servants to pay more attention to the manufacturing progress of the waterwheel. Therefore, when Li Er asked such a question, he could answer it immediately!
"Oh? So fast?"
Li Er raised his eyebrows in surprise and said in surprise.
Zhao Song smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, you don't know. Marquis Yong'an has recruited many outstanding craftsmen with extremely favorable conditions this year. Now the scale of the new Qiquge Pavilion workshop is far more than ten times that of the previous one. The craftsmen are all There are thousands of people, and even the generals, supervisors and the Ministry of Works cannot compare with them, so if Marquis Yong'an wants to build something with all his strength, his speed will definitely be the fastest in the world!"
When Li Er heard this, he couldn't help but laugh: "Haha! If this guy does this, I guess all the master craftsmen who serve as supervisors will run to him after they resign, right? Isn't this robbing me of my talents?"
Although he said this, Li Er's tone did not sound like he was angry.
Zhao Song couldn't help but laugh and said: "Yong'an Hou is determined to carry forward engineering, which is why the scale of his workshop is so large. His Majesty has a broad mind and can accommodate hundreds of rivers, so what Yong'an Hou has learned can be put to use!"
Li Er shook his head and said nothing, but the slight smile at the corner of his mouth proved that Zhao Song's flattery was very useful to Lao Li!
"If the waterwheel is really going to start testing in the afternoon tomorrow, remember to remind me and I'll go take a look too!"
After a moment of silence, Li Er suddenly spoke.
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
………………………………
The next day, early morning.
The government officials of Lantian County, under the orders of County Magistrate He, went out to villages to direct the construction of cement ditches.
As for the tasks assigned to each Zhuangzi, they were assigned last night. Today, the yamenmen all brought task books and drawings, and each person was responsible for one Zhuangzi.
Of course, not only the government officials, but also Li Zexuan sent craftsmen to Zhuangzi to guide the farmers in building cement ditches.
Before the sun had risen, farmers carried shovels and began to dredge ditches under the command of the village officials and craftsmen!
That afternoon, beside the Bahe Dam, tall brackets began to be built one after another. Each bracket was more than a foot high. On this row of brackets, a wooden rectangular water tank about three feet wide was installed.
The craftsmen climbed up the ladder and knocked on it, and the sound of "bang bang" was heard constantly.
"Master, all the gaps between the wooden boards on the sink have been smeared with tung oil. This will ensure that there will be no water leakage! After today, the tung oil on the sink should be dry. We will start testing tomorrow. When the time comes, we will open the gate on the east side of the dam, and we will place the waterwheel on the river below the dam, and then we will see if the waterwheel can lift the water in the river to the level above our heads!"
Uncle Fu personally took Li Zexuan to inspect the "construction site", and while inspecting, he also explained to Li Zexuan.
Li Zexuan nodded in approval and said, "Yes! Uncle Fu, you have thought very carefully about the details. Otherwise, you would not be able to build a truly practical waterwheel just by relying on my few drawings!"
This is true. Cooperating with old craftsmen can often save a lot of trouble. Even if you have never thought of some problems and have never mentioned them, old craftsmen can help you notice them. This is experience and a careful habit developed over many years!
Uncle Fu chuckled and said:
"Haha! What did the young master say? If it weren't for your idea and your drawings, this waterwheel would definitely not be around now! I have been a craftsman all my life, but I have more experience than the young master, but when it comes to inventions and creations, Young Master, you have dumped me more than ten times!"
"Haha! We are all a family, so stop bragging to each other! Uncle Fu, the sun is still quite poisonous. You should go back and rest first! Mr. Mo and I will take care of this place. There will definitely be no problem. "
Li Zexuan felt that the weather was a bit hot, so he comforted Uncle Fu.
Uncle Fu is a man who is dissatisfied with old age at heart. Hearing this, he quickly retorted: "Master, I'm not that weak yet. If you get some sunshine, you'll be fine..."
Li Zexuan interrupted Uncle Fu directly and said: "Uncle Fu, please stop insisting. If you get heatstroke again at your age, then my sin will be too great!"
Mo Huai also echoed: "Brother Fu, what the mountain leader said is right. The weather is extremely hot and your health is in need! You'd better go back and rest soon!"
"Okay! Master, Brother Mo, if anything happens, just send someone to find me!"
Uncle Fu couldn't resist, so he had to leave alone.
Li Zexuan and Mo Huai acted as supervisors and began to inspect the construction site by the Bahe River.
"Mr. Mo, I heard that you have been leading the teachers from the physics department of the academy to study the construction of hydropower stations on the dam. How is the progress now?"
Li Zexuan suddenly remembered something and asked.
The Bahe Hydropower Station is the first killer project of Yanhuang Academy, and its practical and symbolic significance is very important. Li Zexuan also said at the beginning that he encouraged all teachers from the Department of Physics, Department of Mathematics, and Department of Chemistry to actively participate in it. On the one hand, it confirms What you learn in daily life, on the other hand, can also get corresponding contribution points, which will be used for future professional title evaluations!
In the past few days, apart from assisting Uncle Fu in building the waterwheel, Mo Huai spent most of the rest of his time on the research of hydropower stations. He was so conscientious that even Li Zexuan, the head of the mountain, felt a little ashamed!
Mo Huai heard Li Zexuan's question, thought about it, and replied:
"Captain Shan, we have determined the location of the generator and the wiring layout of each control line. When the water truck is finished and the dam opens to release water, we plan to install the generator and generator blades. Let's take a look. Can we generate electricity? In this way, we will not waste the water in the dam, but we can also test whether our generator can work properly!"
Li Zexuan nodded and said: "That's good! After all, practice brings true knowledge. If we don't do it ourselves, we will never know whether we are right or wrong. In this way, if your generator can generate electricity normally, you will need a user. Electrical appliances are here for verification. Before that, I will help you make the light bulbs~! Oh, by the way! You also have to make transformers, electromagnetic relays, etc. You must start preparing for these supporting facilities now!"
Professional terms such as light bulbs, transformers, and electromagnetic relays are all found in physics textbooks. Therefore, Mo Huai was not surprised by these new words. He was surprised that Li Zexuan wanted to make a light bulb!
"Chief Shan, are you sure you can make a light bulb now?"
Mo Huai was extremely surprised and asked in disbelief.
Li Zexuan nodded and said: "I have a way to make a light bulb. I originally planned to make it a while ago, but I was busy with everything and couldn't make it in time. Recently I took the time to make a few to try out the results!"
Hearing this, Mo Huai suddenly said excitedly: "That's really great! Mo has only seen this thing in the textbook written by the mountain leader, but he has never seen the real thing! You said in the book, With this thing, you don’t need to light oil lamps or candles at night, because this light bulb is dozens of times brighter than those things!”
Li Zexuan said with a smile: "The electric light is indeed a good thing. With it, people can find real light at night, and it is possible for Lantian County to become a city that never sleeps!"
............................
The next day.
After two days of hard work by the craftsmen, the waterwheel and its supporting brackets, water tanks and other components were finally installed near the downstream surface of the Bahe Dam.
It is said that since the construction of the Bahe River Dam was completed and the gates were closed to store water, the water level in the downstream river has become shallower day by day. Therefore, where the waterwheel is placed, the shore is one or two feet above the water surface. There are advantages and disadvantages. Waterwheel, otherwise even if a ditch is dug from here, the river water may not flow out!
"Master, the waterwheel is in place, but the water level in the downstream river is too shallow, and the river water has almost no flow speed, so the waterwheel is not turning. Should we open the gate and release the water now to let the downstream river flow?"
Uncle Fu came over to ask for instructions.
Li Zexuan pondered for a moment and then said:
Li Zexuan nodded and said: "Just open a gate and try the effect first!"
"Well! Then I'll give you the order now!"
Uncle Fu responded and went down!
"Haha! You didn't know how to send someone to notify me at such an important moment!"
At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind Li Zexuan, who else could it be if it wasn't Li Er?
Li Zexuan turned around quickly and saw that it was not just Li Er who was coming. Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, Niu Jinda and many other Li Er's confidants were all here!
Such a formation shocked all the craftsmen on the construction site, and they all bowed and saluted.
"I see your Majesty!"
Li Zexuan also quickly bowed his hands to Li Er.
Li Er first said to the craftsmen: "You don't need to be polite, just do whatever you have to do, just pretend you haven't seen me!"
Then, he looked at Li Zexuan and said, "Okay, you can forgive yourself! Ha! Is this the waterwheel you call?"
At this time, Li Er caught a glimpse of the giant roulette wheel standing on the lower reaches of the Bahe River, and couldn't help being a little surprised.
Cheng Yaojin, Wei Zheng and other important officials also stared in that direction with their eyes widened.
"Your Majesty, this is the waterwheel. After a while, the gate will be opened to release the water and the river water will flow. The waterwheel will rotate and the river water will be carried to the tank above our heads!"
Li Zexuan cupped his hands and said.
"so tall?"
Li Er raised his head and looked at the water tank above, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then said: "Then let someone open the gate! I want to see if this thing can move the river and transport water today!"
"Here~!"
Li Zexuan accepted the order.
"Open the gate~!"
After a while, Mo Huai's shout came from the dam, followed by a loud "bang". A gate of the dam opened, and the river water in the dam rushed out, falling on the river downstream and causing a stir. The water was covered with snow-white waves. Since the location of the waterwheel was not far from the dam, although only one gate was opened, the flow rate of the river was still relatively rapid at the location of the waterwheel!
So, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the huge roulette wheel finally started spinning, and it was spinning faster and faster!
The inverted bucket on the outer shell of the roulette wheel, with buckets of river water, poured out at the top of the roulette wheel. Suddenly, the sound of water flow sounded in the water tank~!
"Out of the water~! Out of the water~!"
There was a craftsman at the other end of the sink who was looking after him. After a while, the craftsmen's cheers rang out from there.
The ministers were shocked, and Li Er also felt incredible!
"Moving rivers to transport water is a waterway in the sky! It's like a miracle~!"
Wei Zheng raised his neck and looked at the sink above his head, muttering to himself in shock.
