In March, the wind is very strong on the mountain top. At night, the mountain wind is like a knife and the chill is biting.

The craftsmen crowded into the work sheds built on the slope, slept on wooden boards and straw bunks, covered themselves with quilts, and just made do with the shabby conditions.

Compared with the simple work sheds, the several wooden wooden houses are undoubtedly "higher" existences. There is some dim light from the paper windows. At the desk next to the window, several people are gathered around studying the drawings. From time to time they

I will also look through the brochures on the side.

"When the load of the hydraulic station increases and the flow required by the turbine increases, the reservoir in the front room can be used to supplement the insufficient water inflow from the channel to prevent the drop in water level from causing the air suction pressure pipe to reduce the output of the turbine; conversely, when the load decreases or there is too much water coming from the upstream

When flooding occurs, it can be discharged through the overflow channel to avoid affecting the safety of the building...Exquisite, exquisite..."

Du Mingzhong, who was leaning in front of the case, couldn't help but admire the exquisite design of the "hydropower station" again.

"It's not exquisite. If you look at this water box again, although it looks like a wooden gate, this wooden gate is not the other wooden gate. You see, its structure is an arc gate. When it is opened, a pulley set and a

The hand-operated wooden winch relies on gravity moment to close. It has a simple structure and is quick to open and close. It is far better to use than the old wooden lock. In my opinion, all the ship locks on the canal can be replaced by this lock."

Zhao Fengqian almost subconsciously thought of canal locks. After all, due to the terrain, the Thousand Miles Grand Canal itself has multiple locks. Those locks are all clumsy old-style locks, and the "water locks" of the "hydraulic station" are fully capable of being used as ship locks.

Potential, certainly needs further improvement.

"Hey, Ye Mao, please don't have any wishful thinking. The imperial court is so tight with expenses now. How about replacing the ship lock? There is so much money."

"There is nothing now, but there will always be something in the future..."

Looking at the ship, it turned out that no, it should be the drawing of a "sluice gate", Zhao Fengqian couldn't help but sigh.

"You said, where did the prince bring these wonderful works of grace, and even this piece of paper..."

Picking up the paper on the table, Zhao Fengqian couldn't help but shook his head.

"It's as white as snow and as stiff as a page. Although this kind of paper is not suitable for calligraphy and painting, it..."

"It's not suitable to use a brush for calligraphy and painting. It's better to use a pencil."

Li Chengkun shook the pencil in his hand and smiled.

"This kind of paper is perfect for pencils."

"Pencil, that's what the prince brought too."

"There are also these copper rulers and compasses..."

"besides……"

Pointing to the things on the table, everyone couldn't help but be stunned. The things on the table were things they had never heard of or seen before, but they were all brought by the prince.

"Could these things really be brought by the Crown Prince from the Heavenly Palace?"

The casual remark made everyone dumbfounded. They even picked up the copper ruler on the table and looked at the beautifully carved and standard scale. They were speechless for a long time. How did they know that at the beginning?

When he was a child, the rulers Zhu Guoqiang bought were plastic rulers and steel rulers. Later, he thought that plastic rulers and even steel rulers were too "amazing", so he bought a more expensive brass measuring tool. But even so, it was still

After a long time, someone said it as if it was a joke.

"Didn't you see that there were even some people selling red bricks in the market, and some people bought them and brought them back to worship, saying that they contained the prince's immortal energy, but actually..."

"Actually, there are so many theories about it, like this hydraulic station. People say that the prince is the god of fire who descended to earth, but this is water."

"But, these things..."

"The prince gave it to us, we just need to learn to use it well, don't you think so?"

"What Brother Renqin said is true, what he said is true..."

Despite what they say, there are still some questions hidden in the hearts of these people, and in the end, all questions will be attributed to two words - Tiangong.

Even Zhu Guoqiang himself didn't know that the reason why outsiders did not suspect the things he took out from time to time was precisely because of the identity of the so-called "True Lord Huode" who descended to earth, and because everyone was willing to believe in the existence of the Celestial Palace.

In the next half month, hundreds of craftsmen worked day and night on the "hydraulic station". However, the construction process was not as smooth as expected. This was because the supervisors did not understand the drawings and inevitably did not pay attention.

Not only did some details need to be reworked, but also a lot of time wasted. However, even so, both the craftsmen participating in the construction and the apprentices responsible for supervising the work gained as much experience as possible.

And this accumulation of experience, to a certain extent, is even more important than the hydraulic station itself. After all, to the world itself, the "hydropower station" born out of the hydropower station is undoubtedly the world's first "industrial one" that is ahead of its time.

"Product", even if it is "launched by local methods", it is far beyond the technical level of this world. Being able to complete it and put it into use is a miracle in itself.

Even without waiting for Zhu Guoqiang to customize the turbine from the other side, the carpenters in this world made the turbine out of hardwood according to the drawings he provided. Even the pressure water pipes were spliced ​​together with wood, and iron hoops were used.

The construction is completely in accordance with the standards of "land, water and electricity".

In fact, the reason why the project can progress extremely smoothly is because the "earth and hydropower" project that aims to provide electricity to rural areas not only has detailed drawings, but also has detailed and easy-to-understand instructions. In special times, people involved in the construction of "earth and hydropower"

It is not a group of engineers, but a group of illiterate and semi-illiterate farmers. At most, a few middle school students will participate in the supervision of the work. Occasionally, there will be one or two technicians from the county who will provide guidance for a day or two. Now, students like Du Mingzhong and others

The technicians played the role of middle school students, and Zhu Guoqiang was the "technician from the county."

As for the craftsmen, they are farmers. Under their guidance, they dig earthworks, ditches, and build factories. These are all things that they are familiar with. After all, water ditches are ditches, and the rest is just masonry and building houses.

After nearly a month of busy work, the "hydraulic station" symbolizing "industrial civilization" finally stood at the foot of Wufeng Mountain.

Accompanied by a cry of "water is coming", the water flows along the ditch into the forebay, and then flows into the hydraulic station through the wooden pressure pipe.

"It's moving, it's moving..."

The water turbine started turning. Its speed was not fast, but it was far faster than an ordinary water wheel. When the onlookers watched it turn, they all turned their attention to the prince. What next?

What’s next?
