This kind of skill of setting up a wooden frame, then fixing the wheels on the wooden frame, and then passing the ropes through the wheels to lift the wood up and down, is not something Du Ruhui has never seen before.
The key to this approach is convenience.
When the country is at war, the city gates are tightly closed, and soldiers need to be sent out of the city to deliver messages or something. A similar method is used. They use a basket to load themselves up, and then grab the rope that goes around the fixed axle and put it on the other side.
On one end, let yourself go up and down freely.
However, the wheels and ropes here are different from those usually used on city walls.
Because the wooden frame here, on top of a wooden frame...
There are many wheels!
This strange scene, Du Ruhui and others were busy looking at the boat first, and then they noticed this strange thing!
And the strange thing is not only that there are several wheels, but what is even more strange is...
Du Ruhui clearly saw a craftsman who seemed to be very old, dragging a rope and sending several large pieces of wood up at the other end of the rope.
This scene immediately shocked Du Ruhui.
This old craftsman... is so strong???
With such a small body, not to mention sending so much wood up there, I'm afraid I would have to be hung up by the wood, right?
Those pieces of wood weigh hundreds of kilograms at first glance, and may even weigh a thousand kilograms.
Du Ruhui is the Minister of the Ministry of War. He not only understands weapons manufacturing and carpentry, but is also proficient in it.
This scene...
Once you notice it, you will naturally pay attention to it quickly.
Amazing!
"Girl...what is this?"
…
Wu Meiniang was explaining to Li Er and others what was going on on the big ship. Just as she was getting started, she suddenly heard Master Du's call.
Wu Meiniang turned around and looked back, and couldn't help but be startled, "Master Du, what did you say?"
Du Ruhui saw that Wu Meiniang didn't seem to react, so he looked at the strange wooden frame on the side, "This is it, what is it called?"
Wu Meiniang followed Du Ruhui's gaze and looked over.
But the moment he looked over... he was stunned again.
This made Du Ruhui very surprised for a moment. This girl looked at her prime of life, but her eyes were not clear...
But then he understood.
Wu Meiniang was obviously used to seeing this kind of thing, so she didn't think it was anything special - so she didn't realize what the other person was saying for several seconds.
However, after following Du Ruhui's gaze for a few seconds, she could tell the difference, so Wu Meiniang immediately laughed.
"This...this is the pulley block!"
"Pulley... set?..."
Du Ruhui was a little dazed for a moment.
Pulley block?
Pulley...these two words are not difficult to distinguish.
In fact, if you think about it, you will know that, as the name suggests, it is a wheel that facilitates the sliding of the rope!
but……
Pulley block, what is this?
Is this thing so magical?
No, this thing is indeed magical...
The scene in front of him of the old man using the "pulley block" gave Du Ruhui goosebumps all over his body.
But the key is...
What is the secret of this thing? A thin old man... can actually pull something that obviously weighs hundreds or thousands of kilograms and hoist it to a high place?
If this kind of thing hadn't been witnessed with his own eyes, he, Du Ruhui, wouldn't have believed it if he had really beaten him to death. If this matter appeared in the court as news, he would even think that there was a big problem with the government of the Tang Dynasty.
, if you say this, isn’t that what Zhao Gao does?
However……
This weird scene was happening right in front of me at this moment...
When Du Ruhui's colleagues, Li Er, Wei Zheng and others heard this, they also turned their heads.
This look...
Everyone was stunned immediately.
Good guy...
The scene of the skinny old man hoisting a huge amount of wood had just shocked Du Ruhui, and now it continued to shock Li Er, Wei Zheng and others.
At this moment, Li Er, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling...
The four of them looked at the old man in front of them, their eyes as wide as copper bells.
This old man's strength...
Li Er can only say that looking back on the various experiences in the first half of his life and the entire process of fighting for world hegemony...
I have never seen such a fierce warrior!
That's hundreds or even thousands of kilograms of wood.
Ma De, even Li Yuanba, do you have the strength to lift such a heavy piece of wood?
This old man...???
Everyone watched mesmerized.
And the next moment, something even more incredible and terrifying happened again.
I saw the old man in front of everyone.
While lifting hundreds of kilograms, or even nearly a thousand kilograms of things,... suddenly, he yawned again.
That’s right, a yawn!
This yawn completely dumbfounded Li Er.
Okay, no more guessing now.
I'm afraid even Li Yuanba's strength can't compare to this guy!
horrible!
but……
What's truly terrifying is still the old man's physique.
That body shape is obviously too thin to be ridiculous, but at this moment, it is...
Li Er and others were dumbfounded. They stayed there for a long time and then slowly turned their heads...
They all looked at Wu Meiniang on the side, her mouth open as if it could hold tens of thousands of fists.
this……
what's the situation?
Although Li Er and others did not speak, there was no doubt that they had already asked such a question.
When Li Er and others saw this extremely shocked look...
Wu Meiniang was immediately startled, "Masters, what... is happening? Is there anything wrong in this shipyard?"
"girl……"
"this……"
"How did this old gentleman hoist those many pieces of wood onto the big ship?"
At this moment, Li Er's face looked as frightened as if he had seen a ghost.
No, from Li Er's perspective, when he entered the shipyard this time, he clearly saw a ghost!
And at this moment, Du Ruhui on the side suddenly thought of another question——
In this shipyard...
Why is the ground dry?!
…
The ground is dry, which is not surprising.
In previous memorials, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, or Li Er all knew that His Highness's shipbuilding project used the "dry dock" technology.
The meaning of dry dock is to build large ships in the dock. In this way, compared to building ships in manually dug ditches, the construction can be more precise and the ships will naturally be better.
After the construction is completed, it is sent underwater.
In this memorial, because His Highness wrote about various new technologies, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui and others were unable to fully understand what this dry dock was. As for the subsequent details, they naturally did not think too much about it. After all, His Highness was in charge.
But now, Du Ruhui thought of a very strange question.
Since it is a dry dock, ships are built on the shore...
So how do you get such a big ship into the water after it is built???
And what's even more weird and terrifying is that this big ship...
Du Ruhui heard that they had already launched a trial voyage before...
in other words.
This big ship should not be in this shipyard at this time!
