Chapter 45 The Waterwheel Starts
As expected by Dunn, when he returned to the lord's mansion, Fiona's anger was gone.
Although she didn't have a smiley face, she wouldn't draw her sword against him... Well, maybe she knew that she couldn't win against Tang En, so she should accept her fate.
Tang En's gaze subconsciously turned around Fiona's chest. When the girl's eyebrows just stood up, he hurriedly said, "I think I still have things to do. You can eat, you don't have to call me at night!"
Then he slipped back into the bedroom.
Fiona stomped angrily: "Forget it if you starve to death!"
Of course, she also knew how difficult it was to starve an unfathomable mage to death, so she left him alone.
Well... that night, there was a theft incident in the lord's mansion, and what was lost was a piece of bread, a piece of roast meat, and a bottle of red wine.
The next day, Dunn went to find Brian after breakfast.
"Yo, Edgar, how's it going?"
"Lord Lord, more than 100 farmers have come to pick up farm tools, and more people should come to pick up farm tools today."
"Very well, work hard, I'm optimistic about you."
"Thank you, Lord, for your appreciation!"
Tang En came to the backyard of the blacksmith shop, where Brian was drinking leisurely. After seeing Tang En, he jumped up: "Brother, it's all done!"
"very good."
Dunn had already seen the waterwheel parts piled up in the backyard. Of course, these parts had to be assembled by the river. With a wave of his hand, all the parts were included in the package.
"lets go."
Dunn estimated that the guards should have arrived, so he set off with Brian.
When they came to the Emerald River, they found that the guards had already assembled here. After getting the gold coins that Tang En gave them, the expressions of these people were obviously different. Compared with before, their waists were straighter, and their faces His smile became even brighter, and after seeing Tang En, they were all filled with respect and admiration.
Elsa saluted Dunn: "Lord Lord, everyone has arrived."
Tang En nodded: "I called you here today because there is a very important thing for you to do."
"Lord Lord, despite your orders, even if we go to slay dragons, we will obey your orders!"
"That's right! Lord Lord, please give an order!"
As the saying goes, money makes a man brave. With gold coins, the courage and courage of these guys will skyrocket, which is both a good and a bad thing.
Tang En laughed dumbly: "Slaying the dragon? Just you? I guess I was scared to pee before I even got close to the dragon's cave."
Tang En waved his hand and said, "No kidding, I called you here today to help you assemble the waterwheel."
"Waterwheel?"
Their doubts were quickly resolved. Dunn just waved his hand, and a lot of parts appeared on the ground.
Both Elsa and Brian knew that Dunn had space equipment, but the guards didn't know it, and they were all shocked and stunned when they saw this scene.
"God, miracle!"
"What a miracle! I heard the bard say that this is an extremely precious space equipment! It is said that the most common space equipment can be exchanged for a large area of territory!"
"As expected of the lord, he even has space equipment!"
However, because of their narrow vision, it is easier for them to accept this reality. In their opinion, the Lord is so powerful and kind, even if there is space equipment, it is not surprising—they don’t know the true value of space equipment at all. place.
Elsa sighed, not interested in explaining so much to them, just waiting for Dunn's order.
"Later, Brian and I will assemble this waterwheel, and your task is to support these brackets on the shore. I will tell you how to assemble them. In addition, there is another aqueduct that needs to be supported. You can divide it into two parts. Team, one will do the support, the other will be the aqueduct, and Elsa, you should contact the nearby farmers first, and ask them to start digging trenches from this end of the aqueduct to connect the fields."
"OK!"
Elsa quickly took the lead, and the others began to assemble the bracket under the guidance of Dunn.
The waterwheel is more than ten meters high. If it is on earth, it is difficult for these people to do this work.
, but here is Plandal, a world where individual powers far exceed Earth's.
Following Dunn's command, the stand that was lying on the ground in the afternoon was assembled, and Dunn and Brian also installed the scattered wooden barrels and rollers. The main turntable of the waterwheel has been After forming, all that's left is to install the bracket, and then stand up.
"Elsa, ask everyone to come and carry this up."
Dunn pointed to the huge turntable of the waterwheel, and Elsa stood there like a puppy next to the elephant.
"Lord Lord, I can do it alone—"
"no."
Dunn shook his head.
What a joke, although Elsa has a lot of strength, the load-bearing capacity of the river bank is not strong, she may sink into the ground before she can lift it up, and the strength of Plandal's current iron materials is not high. How could the place she grabbed with her hands could bear the weight of the entire waterwheel? deformed immediately.
Elsa needs to be used when the waterwheel is finally erected.
A group of people lifted the waterwheel turntable to the stand, and the rollers were embedded in it flawlessly. Dunn expressed his satisfaction.
"Tie the support here with rope, and then we split it into two sides to stand up the waterwheel."
Dunn instructed them to tie up the ropes, and then he and Elsa were alone. As Elsa began to exert force, the huge waterwheel slowly stood up, and the others cheered.
However, Elsa may be doing this kind of work for the first time. She can't grasp the strength. After the waterwheel stands up, it starts to pour into the river again!
Fortunately, Tang En was well prepared and pulled up the rope instantly, preventing the waterwheel from continuing to dump.
"My God, the Lord is so powerful!"
The guards were stunned instantly. It was the first time they saw Dunn's strength.
"Yeah! I'm afraid Lord Lord's strength is no less than Elsa's!"
"It is estimated that only people like Lord Lord are worthy of Elsa."
"Haha, yes, if other people are with Elsa, they will probably be shot away when they quarrel. Lord Lord, don't be afraid."
Danny's eyes lit up and he clenched his fists: "I must become a strong man like Lord Lord!"
"Danny, stop daydreaming, and work hard. Lord Lord appreciates you. If you are promoted to guard, you will be amazing."
Naturally, Dunn didn't pay attention to the discussion of the following people. He was balancing each other's strength with Elsa, so that the waterwheel could stand there firmly.
After waiting for the water station to stabilize, Tang En stomped his foot gently and secretly released a "turn mud into stone" spell, which firmly fixed the bottom of the waterwheel to the river bank.
"All right!"
Dunn waved at Elsa across the river, Elsa jumped into the river and swam back.
"Lord Lord, can this really lift water to a high place?"
Elsa twisted her hair and looked at the waterwheel curiously.
"We'll find out later."
Tang En waved his hand and motioned the people above to remove the wooden planks that blocked the river, and the calm river under the waterwheel flowed again, and then the waterwheel turned under the impetus of the current.
"Turn! Turn!"
"The bucket is full of water - up - ah! The water is pouring out!"
"My God! It's like magic!"
The guards and a few peasants next to them exclaimed again and again. Even though no magic was used, the water was lifted to a high place. This is simply incredible!
On the hills on the bank, the canal has been dug, and the aqueduct has been assembled. As the aqueduct was erected and put into place, the river water lifted to a high place by the waterwheel smoothly flowed into the canal, and ran along the canal to dry up. farmland.
"That's great! It's really great!"
Those farmers burst into tears with excitement. With this waterwheel, they no longer have to worry about water shortage in the farmland, and they don't have to fetch water for irrigation all day long, and they don't have to work so hard anymore!
"It's all thanks to the Lord! If it wasn't for the Lord, who would have thought of such a miraculous way!"
"Yeah! It's incredible, it's like magic... I still can't believe it!"
"Lord Lord must be sent by the gods to save Ellington, he is the messenger of the gods!"
The more the farmers talked, the more excited they became, and they knelt down to Tang En with a puff.
"Get up, since you are my people, of course I will find a way to keep you fed and clothed and live a good life."
Dunn waved his hand, full of exclamations in his heart, "It's almost like magic", this is the second interjection he has ever heard. In the magical world, these people don't even have the idea of using water power and wind power? All counting on magic to save them?
However, those magicians may not necessarily see these inconspicuous things...
Tang En is also very helpless. In fact, whether it is a punching machine or a waterwheel, the most important thing is the power of magic. If it is not for the use of magic, he cannot realize the power of the punching machine. If it is not for the use of magic, he cannot use it either The existing technology produces qualified waterwheel bearings.
It is too difficult to completely abandon magic and use the power of industry to achieve all of this. He has not studied mechanical engineering, nor has he studied advanced chemistry. All reliance is based on the vague ideas in his mind. impression, and the convenience of magic.
But Dunn didn't think too much about it. He could do as much as he could. At least, it could make Ellington's people live better and himself.
More comfortable, for the time being enough.
The emergence of waterwheels solved the coming sweltering heat and drought, and iron farm implements solved their labor efficiency problems. These are all issues related to people's livelihood. When the people can see the hope of having a full stomach, their rule will be firm. What we have to solve is the long-lost issue of military strength.
