Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 81 Hydraulic Saw

Leaving the restaurant, Hei Chi Chang didn't say a word, Sha Zha Xiangru opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but his friend grabbed his arm, he looked around knowingly, and closed his lips tightly.

"This is a trap!" Sha Zhaxiangru whispered as soon as he got on his horse, "In this way, everyone will know that the relics will be sent to Japan by you, and the attention will be on you, and he can Send the relic away safely!"

"I know!" Black Tooth Changzhi's voice was a bit muddy, was there despair or anger?No one knows.

"Then you still promise?"

"I have no choice!" Hei Chi Changzhi raised his head, his voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth: "He is the Prime Minister of the country, if I disobey, I will die!"

Sha Zha Xiangru's mouth was bitter, and what his friend said was right: the defeated general had only two hundred remnants, and if he disobeyed, he would be pushed down and beheaded immediately.

"Then what should we do?"

"According to the circumstances!" Hei Chi Changzhi kicked the horse's belly: "Maybe the gods and Buddhas will bless us!"

Outside Sibi City, beside the Xiongjin River.

"Sanlang, Liu Lingjian has bet heavily on you!" Liu An tried his best to lower his voice, but he still couldn't hide his anxiety: "And you are directing your men to dig the soil by the river, and there are no relics in the mud. !"

"Very good! I'll come to check later!" Wang Wenzuo patted his subordinate on the shoulder in satisfaction, as if he didn't hear Liu An's complaint at all.

"Sanlang, are you listening to me?" Liu An couldn't bear his temper anymore, and shouted loudly: "I'll tell you first, don't look at Liu Lingjian who is always smiling on weekdays, just think he is a It's easy to deal with. You must know that he can let you and me go to Lingnan with a pick of plain pen!"

"Lingnan? Okay!" Wang Wenzuo casually drew Ya on the document presented by his subordinates, and said with a smile, "I heard that the weather there is warm, and there are lychee, longan, and various sweet fruits to eat. It would be great if I could go there!"

"Be careful that the miasma is killing you, return lychee and longan, I don't know where you know about this mess!" Liu An said angrily, "You should think about it, Liu Lingjian's father-in-law is—"

"His father-in-law is the prime minister of the court, I know!" Wang Wenzuo waved his hand and signaled Sancho to ask his subordinates to wait aside: "I have always been concerned about the relic, and I have already sent someone to inquire about its whereabouts." , but if a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools—"

"What does building a dam have to do with finding relics?"

"Brother Liu, don't worry!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile on his face, "Look at this first, it's never too late to be in a hurry!"

Looking at Wang Wenzuo's smiling face, Liu An couldn't get angry either, so he had to follow him to the river.I saw that there was already an arc-shaped embankment in the river, enveloping a large section of the river surface. The river water from the upstream was blocked by the embankment and rose slowly, forming a slope pond about seven or eight mu square.

"A few days ago was the dry season, and building the embankment saved a lot of labor!" Wang Wenzuo pointed at the embankment and said with a smile: "Brother Liu, look, this slope pond is not bad, right?"

"This is right by the river, and there is no shortage of water for irrigation. Why are you building a slope pond?" Liu An was furious: "Your efforts are wasted!"

"I'm not here for farming!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile, "Have you never seen a water pound for rice milling?"

"Of course I have seen the water pound. The question is why do you need the water pound now? How many people are there in Sibi City? Why do you have to spend so much effort to pound the rice with water?"

"Running water can pound rice, and it can also be used for other things!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile, "For example, sawing wood, wrought iron and other things!"

"What does this have to do with the relics?" Liu An was already furious: "Sanlang, don't you understand? If we can't find the relics, we will all be exiled to Lingnan! If you say it's exile, you will be exiled on the way!" Get killed, do you think these things can save your life at that time?"

"I already have news about relics!" Wang Wenzuo suddenly lowered his voice.

"What? Where is it, why didn't you say it earlier?" Liu An was overjoyed, and hurriedly lowered his voice.

"It's in the hands of Onimuro Fukunobu, the news I just got!"

"In the hands of Onimuro Fukunobu, it will be troublesome to get it back!"

"There are more troublesome things!" Wang Wenzuo sneered: "According to the news from the investigation, Guishi Fuxin intends to give this relic to the Japanese in exchange for the Japanese sending troops!"

"What? Give it to the Japanese? That's absolutely impossible!" At this point, Liu An also understood: "Sanlang, did you do this to—"

"That's right, the Japanese are separated from Baekje by the sea. If they send troops, they must come by boat, so I am also preparing for the relics!" Wang Wenzuo pointed to the dock under construction not far away: "I haven't done this yet. Tell Liu Lingjian, please tell me for me, and ask him to allocate all the beams from the temples and palaces to me for shipbuilding!"

"No problem, I'll tell Liu Lingjian right away!" Liu An's attitude changed drastically, and he patted his chest: "Don't worry, Saburo, as long as it's related to relics, Liu Lingjian will definitely spare no effort, let alone a few ruins. The beams of the temple, even the tombs of the Baekje kings can be dug up!"

"That's not necessary!" Wang Wenzuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. These monasteries had already been demolished, and he was just using materials to build boats. The royal family of Baekje was still doing well in Luoyang, Chang'an. , Once sued in front of the emperor, it is definitely a dead end.

After seeing Liu An off, Wang Wenzuo came to the embankment and began to check the hydraulic sawmills installed by his men.After confirming that everything was ready, Wang Wenzuo nodded and signaled his subordinates to turn the mechanism. Under the impact of the water flow, the water wheel began to rotate slowly, and the workbench with the wood fixed began to move forward slowly. The reciprocating saw blade made a sharp sound, and the fine sawdust splashed everywhere. The wood was cut along the ink lines that had been played in advance like tofu, and the Baekje people onlookers exclaimed one after another.

Wang Wenzuo let out a long breath secretly. The idea of ​​this hydraulic saw was something he saw on a video site before crossing. It is said that it was improved according to Da Vinci's manuscript. Generally speaking, the principle is to use controllable water flow to impact wood. The saw blade reciprocates up and down through the rotation of the wooden wheel.

There are two key points of this kind of machine: one must ensure the stability of the water flow speed and flow; the other is to complete the speed change through the transmission of gears, so that there is no need to push the wood manually, just place the wood on the lathe, fix it, and then Fully automatic sawing can be realized.

This not only ensures the safety, but also avoids the overheating and breaking of the saw blade caused by the workers feeding the material too fast.For this reason, Wang Wenzuo specially built a dam to achieve a stable water source, and then built multiple drainage channels. Through the opening and closing of the gates, multiple hydraulic machines can start working at the same time, and their working efficiency will far exceed that of one or two hydraulic saws.
