I am a thief in the Tang Dynasty

Moreover, giving the credit to Dai Wanwan would mean dragging the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Dai Zhou onto Fang Yiyi's ship.

When the drawings of the waterwheel are circulated to the people, it will inevitably affect the interests of the wealthy families and cause their dissatisfaction. With Dai Zhou around, Fang Yiyi will face little pressure.

When Yan Lide heard that Fang Yiyi wanted a drum cart, he naturally agreed immediately and asked someone to go to the warehouse to get a freshly made one and send it directly to the place Fang Yiyi mentioned.

Fang Yiyi did not tell Yan Lide about the improvement of the waterwheel for the time being. After exchanging polite greetings for a while, he returned to Yan Xuansui's room.

He pretended to look at the drawings of the existing waterwheel, and then spoke vaguely about his understanding of waterwheels in later generations.

When the two outstanding young mechanical engineers heard Fang Yiyi's suggestion, it was as if they had suddenly been enlightened. Their eyes lit up and they instantly went crazy.

Gears and bearings appeared in my mind, and they were quickly assembled to form a perfect waterwheel, which was fascinating.

They were experts and concluded that Fang Yiyi's proposal was definitely feasible.

If the two of them built it but it couldn't be used, it must be because their skills were not good enough, not because Fang Yiyi's idea was wrong.

Dai Wanwan's eyes were bright, she clenched her fists, and said excitedly:

"Adding bearings may seem to increase the weight and assembly difficulty of the waterwheel, but it reduces the flow rate requirements for the waterwheel's rotation, making it extremely stable and able to be placed on any terrain."

"Seconds, it's really amazing!"

"Xingzhi, you are really amazing. People say that you are very talented. I thought it was just flattery, but now I am really impressed. You can even come up with such a brilliant idea!"

As she spoke, Dai Wanwan looked at Fang Yiyi with eyes full of admiration and curiosity.

An uneducated and uneducated dandy boy.

After getting married, it was as if I had received some guidance from an immortal and everything became clear to me.

They were looking for mines and making selfless contributions to solve the country's problems.

Now, they have come up with a brilliant idea to improve the waterwheel, which is amazing. How can we not be curious?

Moreover, this brilliant idea of ​​improving the waterwheel came to them in a flash of inspiration, for these great masters who delved into the art of mechanical engineering.

But you may rack your brain for months or even years without any inspiration.

How could Dai Wanwan not admire her!

Fang Yiyi thought to himself, "It is because of the experience accumulated by you, the people who are obsessed with mechanical engineering, that we have made breakthroughs in the future."

Thinking so, Fang Yiyi said modestly:

"Wanwan, I am unworthy of your praise."

"That's what I was thinking. Whether it's really feasible or not, we still have to design it and let the facts speak for themselves."

Yan Xuansui nodded seriously and said:

"Xingzhi is right. We need to build it and test it to see if it is really feasible."

"But Wanwan is right. Just listening to what you said, it will definitely work."

"Also, the weight problem can be solved by reducing the size of the water truck. According to your idea, this type of water truck can draw water very quickly. Even if the bucket is smaller, the overall amount of water drawn is still considerable!"

"If we don't build it well, it must be because we are not skilled enough!"

Dai Wanwan agreed with Yan Xuansui's words and said with great confidence:

"If the two of us didn't make it, it had nothing to do with your idea. It was because we were not skilled enough."

Looking at the two people's confident words, Fang Yiyi couldn't help laughing and didn't wait for him to speak.

Chapter 83 Dai Wanwan can't help herself

Yan Xuansui seemed to have entered a certain state, muttering to himself all the time. Then, with a wave of his hands, all the tools and parts on the table fell to the ground.

To Fang Yiyi, this state of madness really scared him and made him subconsciously take a step back.

But Dai Wanwan was not surprised at all. Her big round eyes were shining with a daunting focus. She quickly took out paper and pen and gave one to Yan Xuansui.

The two of them bent over the desk and began to sketch, speaking words that Fang Yiyi didn't understand as they drew.

Fang Yiyi was very self-aware. Since he couldn't get involved, he found a chair, sat quietly, and watched the two of them being engrossed in their activities.

He answered some of their questions from time to time and explained his memories of the waterwheel without reservation.

As he looked, the two figures in front of him overlapped with the figures of the scientific researchers he protected during the protection mission in his previous life.

It is precisely because of these people who are devoted to research that every dynasty in the long history of China has grown from nothing to prosperity.

Boundless respect arose in Fang Yiyi's eyes and heart.

Time seemed to have stopped in this room.

None of the three felt the passage of time.

Until the thick candle in the room burned out, the room was dark and it was impossible to continue drawing the sketch.

Only then did they realize that it was getting dark.

They suddenly stopped, and after concentrating on painting for a while, they suddenly felt physically and mentally exhausted.

Gulu!

The three of them's stomachs protested.

Fang Yiyi suggested: "Why don't we go eat something first, have someone restock the candles in this room, and then continue?"

Dai Wanwan and Yan Xuansui said in unison:

"Just ask someone to send food and candles over, and finish this sketch tonight!"

Although the room was pitch black, Fang Yiyi could clearly feel two fierce gazes falling on him.

Fang Yiyi had no choice but to compromise and said with a helpless smile: "Okay, okay, I'll go tell someone right away."

Soon, orange-red candle flames lit up one by one, lighting up the room again as if it were daytime.

The two began to paint tirelessly again.

dong dong!

The gong sounds at midnight.

Yan Xuansui and Dai Wanwan put their heads together.

Two pairs of bloodshot eyes showed only excitement, no fatigue.

"It's done, it's done!"

"Hahahahaha, we finished it!"

“Yeah, I finally finished drawing it!”

"It works, it must work, we did it!"

The two of them cheered at the top of their lungs at the same time!

Fang Yiyi, who was tired and dozing against the wall, suddenly started up and quickly stood up and walked towards the table.

Before he could say anything, a delicate body filled with the scent of ink hugged him in its arms!

"Xingzhi, I drew it. Hehe, I, Dai Wanwan, drew the idea you came up with!"

Feeling the not-too-big softness, caressing his chest.

Fang Yiyi's body froze in place. He looked down awkwardly at the pretty girl with a bright and cheerful smile.

I cried out in my heart:

"No, I know you're excited, but you can be excited if you want to. Why are you hugging me?!"

"You are the daughter of a minister, a lady from a noble family, you should behave properly, what are you doing?!"

"How will you get married if this gets out?"

As he was thinking, Fang Yiyi felt a strange and teasing gaze coming from not far away.

Yan Xuansui restrained his expression, remained silent, lowered his head, pretended that he saw nothing, and quietly walked out of the house.

Chapter 84 Don’t Guess What the Girl Is Thinking

Bang!

The sound of the door closing brought Dai Wanwan back to her senses.

She looked at the embarrassed face of the handsome man in front of her, and his hands raised in confusion, and her oval face suddenly turned red.

Her heart was beating wildly and she spoke in a panic:

"Ah, I, you, this, I didn't mean it, I, I was just too excited, you, you are not allowed to tell anyone!"

At the end, Dai Wanwan, with a blushing face, revealed her true nature, raised her little fist, and threatened and warned fiercely.

Seeing Fang Yiyi didn't answer, she stamped her feet anxiously and said aggrievedly:

"What are you doing? Speak!!"

Fang Yiyi looked at Dai Wanwan, who was playful yet aggressive, and felt amused.

He frowned and said seriously:

"Wanwan, your skills in mechanical engineering are truly amazing! I admire you!"

"It's getting late, let's stop here for today, go back and rest, and come back tomorrow!"

Dai Wanwan saw Fang Yiyi's serious look, his starry eyes full of sincerity, as if nothing had happened just now, and her expression suddenly relaxed.

In response to the other party's praise, she raised her pretty little head proudly.

But then, a feeling of suffocation appeared in my heart again.

This feeling was inexplicable and made her a little annoyed, but she didn't know why she was annoyed.

"Yeah, let's talk about it tomorrow. I'm leaving first!"

Dai Wanwan's joy disappeared, she responded casually, and left in a depressed mood.

Fang Yiyi was a little confused. He was fine just now, why did he suddenly become so listless?

He knew a saying: Don't try to guess what a girl is thinking, it's useless!

Fang Yiyi walked out of the house and saw Yan Xuansui standing in a daze under the moon. He smiled and walked forward to thank him:

"Qide, thank you for your hard work today."

Yan Xuansui shook his head, looked at Fang Yiyi sincerely, and said firmly:

"Xingzhi, today I, Yan Xuansui, Yan Qide, should thank you. I should thank you on behalf of the people of the world!"

As he spoke, Yan Xuansui bowed solemnly towards Fang Yiyi with his arms crossed.

Fang Yiyi couldn't bear this, so he quickly helped Yan Xuansui up:

"I just made suggestions. The sketch and subsequent formation are all up to you."

"Qide, why do you say that?"

Yan Xuansui shook his head and said, "If I'm not mistaken, after this waterwheel is built, you will advertise it to the world, right?"

Fang Yiyi did not answer, which was tantamount to his agreement.

Yan Xuansui grinned, and a smile of admiration appeared on his honest face.

"I know the importance of water conservancy to people's livelihood. There are many drawings of tools that can help the people in the General's Office, but I dare not distribute them."

"If I did that, the emperor might not say anything because he cares about the people of the world, but those noble families would definitely not let me go, nor would they let my Yan family go."

"I'm not as good as you!"

Fang Yiyi didn't expect that Yan Xuansui, who looked honest, could see things so clearly.

He stretched out his fist and hit him hard on the chest, but his weak body was not shaken by the punch. Instead, he was knocked back a step.

Yan Xuansui laughed loudly, supported Fang Yiyi who looked gloomy, and said:

"Xingzhi, you need to practice quickly, otherwise, it will be difficult to accept the beauty's favor!"

After saying this, Yan Xuansui did not wait for Fang Yiyi to lose his temper and hurriedly said:

"The matter of the new waterwheel is of great importance. The supervisor will be able to build it tomorrow morning."
