Behind him, Li Chengqian was startled and quickly chased after him.
Soon, a group of people arrived at the forge.
I saw Li Xuanzheng, Ying Qi and Wu Fu concentrating on playing with several strange steel shelves in an open space.
Li Yuan was sitting on a chair nearby, holding a black and white dumpling in his arms and watching with interest.
"I have paid homage to the Supreme Emperor!" "I have met His Royal Highness the King of Jin!"
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty, and have met all of you!"
After some greetings, Li Shimin asked with curiosity on his face.
"Xuanba, what is this thing?"
"Your Majesty, this thing is a thousand-jin hanging!"
Li Xuan explained.
"Thousand-pound crane?"
Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others were all stunned.
Before they could ask questions, Li Xuan continued to explain: "The meaning of a thousand catty crane is that only one person can operate this object to easily lift an object weighing a thousand catties."
"How does this work?"
Li Shimin was startled.
On the side, Cheng Zhijie, Fang Xuanling and others also looked disbelieving.
"Your Majesty, wait a moment, this preparation will be completed soon."
Li Xuan curled his lips and said calmly: "After a while, after placing this object on the construction site, Your Majesty will be able to see the true purpose of this object!"
With that said, Li Xuan ignored Li Shimin and others and continued to prepare the food slowly.
Seeing this, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others could only sit aside slowly and wait quietly.
However, Li Xuan did not keep them waiting for a long time.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Li Chang led a few craftsmen and walked in from outside.
Then, under Li Xuan's command, everyone carried several steel frames and walked to the construction site.
At this time, all the foundations of Li Xuan's courtyard have been completed.
Even the first floor of some houses has begun to be as tall as a person.
Many craftsmen build houses on iron frames with four legs.
Some craftsmen only stepped on one piece, while others stepped on two pieces without any sign of shaking.
Seeing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but be curious.
"Xuanba, what is that?"
"Back to Your Majesty, those are scaffoldings, iron frames forged from steel and assembled. They can be disassembled at will, carried at will, and can be stacked on top of each other. The craftsmen stand on them and they are very stable!"
Li Xuan slowly explained.
"I see!"
Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others behind him all nodded with astonishment on their faces.
"This kind of scaffolding is indeed a magical artifact of construction."
Hearing this, Li Xuan smiled softly and ignored it.
At this moment, Li Chang had already led the craftsmen, carrying the steel frame of the heavy crane, to a house that had been built that was as tall as one person.
Afterwards, Ying Qi and Wu Fu quickly worked with the craftsmen to install the thousand-pound crane.
At this moment, a force was already on the side, pushing a truck of concrete and pouring the truck of concrete into the large bucket that had been prepared nearby.
Ying Qi and Wu Fu hooked the large bucket of cement with the hook of the thousand-pound crane, and gently exerted force with their hands.
With Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others looking shocked, the large bucket filled with concrete was slowly pulled up to the craftsmen above.
"How can this be?"
Cheng Zhijie stared at his big copper bell-like eyes with a look of disbelief.
He lowered his head and searched around, picked up another large bucket on the side, weighed it in his hands, and then grabbed a man who was pushing a concrete trolley.
Under the horrified look of Li Yu, he poured the concrete directly into the big bucket.
Then, lift the big bucket with all your strength.
For a moment, it was not mentioned.
"Tsk, tsk, old man Cheng, can you do it?" Li Xiaogong said with a smile.
"Bah, don't make any sarcastic remarks, this big bucket weighs at least three hundred kilograms!"
Cheng Zhijie glared at Li Xiaogong, took a breath slowly, and pressed hard again.
This time, I was prepared and slowly lifted the barrel.
Then, lift the bucket under the hanging hook.
Following the actions of Qi Qi and Wu Fu, he gently pulled the hook on the side, and the large bucket of concrete on the side quickly rose up.
With a lot of fun, you can go up and down without any effort at all.
"Your Majesty, this thing is truly a divine thing!"
Cheng Zhijie couldn't help but be overjoyed, "With this thing, I, old Cheng, can also lift a thousand catties, or even two thousand catties, it's not impossible!"
"Is it really so magical?"
Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and others looked surprised and suspicious.
Then, they all walked over quickly.
Everyone, tried it once.
Not to mention Li Shimin, even Du Ruhui, who was in the weakest physical condition, could lift a large concrete bucket weighing about three hundred kilograms to the height of a person.
"Xuanba, how come this divine object can lift this 300-kilogram concrete vat so high with only a weak force?"
Li Shimin said with excitement on his face.
"Your Majesty, this thousand-pound crane has the principle of levers and wheels. It is like placing a stone on the ground, and then placing a ten-foot-long wooden stick. Place the wooden barrel on one side of the big barrel, and Gaoming on the other side.
Even if you press the wooden stick hard, you can move the big bucket!"
Li Xuan said slowly, "This is the principle of leverage. If the wooden stick is long enough, it can even move a mountain!"
"How can this be?"
Li Shimin frowned slightly, glanced at Li Chengqian and then at the vat beside him, his face full of suspicion.
"Humph, if you don't believe anything and don't give it a try, when will you learn the tricks of being a sour scholar and just say no?"
Before Li Xuan could speak, Li Yuan stared at him and snorted coldly.
Then, he held up Li Xiong in his hand with a proud look on his face and walked back.
Only a confused Li Shimin was left behind.
Cheng Zhijie and others looked embarrassed.
Ying Qi, Wu Fu, and all the craftsmen looked even more frightened.
Oh my God, the Supreme Emperor actually scolded His Majesty in front of them!
Everyone wanted to bury their heads in their clothes at this moment, for fear that His Majesty would be angry and kill them directly.
On the side, Li Xuan ignored Li Shimin and turned to Ying Qi and Wu Fu to give instructions.
"Ying Qi and Wu Fu will discuss with the Zi people again to see what needs to be improved on this heavy lifting crane, and then quickly go to the forging shop and forge more than ten more.
These cranes need to be forged to be as high as one person, two people, or one foot high. The one as tall as one person must be forged first. The higher the house is built, the higher the height of the crane will be."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Hearing this, Ying Qi and Wu Fu couldn't help but relax and responded quickly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. With this magical object, the villain and others can build houses at least 50% faster!"
Several craftsmen on the side quickly expressed gratitude.
If there was no heavy-lift crane, they would have to shovel one shovel after another to move the heavy concrete upwards.
Now, no matter how high they stand, so much concrete can be delivered to them with just one pull.
They had never seen such a labor-saving object before.
"You don't have to be polite. As long as you feel something is difficult, just tell the steward that I don't have any other abilities, but I still have some abilities in the field of forging tools!"
Li Xuan smiled.
"Your Majesty is a deity from heaven who has descended to earth. His abilities are as great as those of heaven. How can you belittle yourself?"
An official who was about to serve as a prisoner quickly raised his hand and said.
"Okay, there is no need to do this to me!"
Li Xuan waved his hand casually and said:
"You guys, hurry up and check the shortcomings of the Thousand Jin Crane. I will go to other places and look around!"
"Farewell, Your Majesty!"
All the craftsmen rushed to send each other off respectfully.
"Let's go, let me try the leverage principle that Xuan Ba mentioned!"
On the side, Li Shimin finished speaking and walked towards the warehouse in the distance.
