Chapter 425 Water Tube Car

The efficiency of water irrigation can be hundreds and ten times stronger than that of rollover. The main reason is that the barrel car does not use human and animal power, but uses the kinetic energy of water, which is silent day and night. However, the efficiency of the barrel car is very low. In this regard, the rollover is much better than the barrel car, especially when ploughing cattle are used to pull around, which is more obvious.

However, both tools have absolute disadvantages, that is, they need rivers or flowing ponds to be used. If it is an agricultural well drilling, it can only be pulled by cattle.

However, Ma Chao roughly estimated that if the farmland flowing through the whole Yongzhou uses rollovers and tube trucks to fend water, the good farmland in Yongzhou can increase to about one tenth. After all, the tributaries of Weishui and Yongshui are all over Yongzhou, which is enough to irrigate farmland.

In addition to making countless rollovers and tube cars, such a large project requires a large amount of financial support and countless manpower to build. In Ma Chao's expectation, the construction model of Fufeng River can be used for the construction of water conservancy in the whole Yongzhou. However, in this way, the establishment of the Ministry of Industry has become more and more urgent.

Of course, there is another prerequisite at present, which is whether Zhou Maitian can build a barrel car or not.

"The water rotary car is made of bamboo or wood. First, make a large vertical wheel, then make a roller made of logs to set it up, and install dozens of skeletons on the roller to support and connect... Well, there are also wooden impellers and many hollow and oblique bamboo tubes around the round wheel. There is a wheel on the top and bottom, half of the lower wheel is flooded, and there is a wheel belt between the two wheels.

"What is a wheel belt?" Zhou Maitian listened to Ma Chao's story and had fallen into the façade imagination. However, he was still confused when he heard some strange and difficult words popping out of Ma Chao's mouth from time to time.

"It is a chain drive made of leather, which is used to pull the large vertical wheel..." Ma Chao frowned and recalled the method of making the tube car he learned in the book, and said stulted, "The wheel belt is also equipped with many feet long bamboo tubes. The water hit the water wheel below, and the bamboo tube was soaked with water and poured out the river from the bottom up.

"With no need for human or animal power, the force of water can make the vertical wheel rotate for a long time?" Zheng Hun is also a descendant of Luban's high apprentice. After listening to Ma Chao's description, he still felt a little incredible.

Ma Chao had a headache about how to explain the relationship between kinetic energy conversion, but he heard Zhou Maitian say, "The wood is the machine, and the back is heavy and light. If the water is pumped, it is like fertile soup. Its name is gao?"

"It's almost the same as Juju. However, Juju uses the principle of leverage, and the barrel car uses the power of water to replace manpower. Although it is not efficient, it can cycle day and night. After listening to Zhou Maitian's words, Ma supernaturally knew that Zhou Maitian's words were an allusion to oranges for water. However, Juju is 108,000 miles away from the tube car, which is not the same tool at all.

I have no choice but to draw a drawing of a tube car. But after looking back at Zheng Hun and Zhou Maitian, he smiled: With these two carpenters here, what drawings are they doing? Making a barrel car model directly is much more intuitive than drawings.

Do what you say. At present, Ma Chao asked the two to find a log and use the skills of the two magic axes to cut out a big wheel. Then some small bamboo tubes were installed on the wheel to make the mouth of the cylinder move in the direction of the wheel. At the same time, in order to reverse the side of the barrel car when pouring water and introduce the position of the receiving tank, Ma Chao specially made these bamboo tubes and the shaft of the barrel car at an angle of about 45 degrees.

Presed, at this point, the model has basically been completed. When Zhenghun and Zhou Maitian simulated the flow of the river in a basin in the open space, Ma Chao suddenly felt a little panicked: when he went to school, this guy was a master with low eyesight and poor hands-on ability. Isn't it a shame to find that the model can't be turned away in front of the two masters this time?

What's more, the whole arsenal has a divine worship of Ma Chao. Although Ma Chao does not have much vanity, he definitely has some shame... Finally, in the expectant eyes of the two, Ma Chao bravely put the model of the barrel car into the dug path, and Zhou Maitian slowly poured water.

The sky is eye-opening!

This barrel car model is not a cross-century project, and Zheng Hun and Zhou Maitian are top carpenters. When helping, they completely follow Ma Chao's instructions and absolutely meet the qualified standards. The two couldn't take their eyes off the model of the car rotating automatically, and they were surprised that they couldn't even fit their mouths together.

"Lord, did you borrow the power of ghosts and gods?" Zheng Hun looked at it and shook it back and forth. Finally, he looked at the windless weather and finally admitted that the model really rotated automatically by the current.

After a sigh of relief, Ma Chao pretended to be unfathomable virtue and said, "It's not the power of ghosts and gods, but everything is powerful and as good as water. You should know that this water flows day and night also depends on the power of mountains and rivers. Although they are the spirits of all things, they still don't explore the mysteries of all things..."

However, Zhou Maitian fell into it at this time. He changed the strength of pouring water for a while, and then changed the height of the barrel car. After testing it back and forth several times, he opened his mouth and said, "Master, I found that this barrel car can not rotate as long as there is water, but is different from the strength and height of the water flow. Contact."

"Yes, the cylinder car rotates too slowly, or can't lift water. You need to install some wooden boards or bamboo boards on the cylinder car to get more kinetic energy from the water; or you can also immerse the cylinder car deeper into the water to obtain kinetic energy, so that you can store more water." Speaking of this, Ma Chao is not afraid: these things are written in the textbook. Although his hands-on ability is poor, his memory is quite good.

"When the speed of the water flow is low, the bamboo tube should also be relatively small. Otherwise, the energy obtained from the water is limited, which is not enough to overcome the reaction torque of the lifted water to the cylinder car. As long as you investigate the rivers and lakes in Yongzhou in advance, know their speed and power, and add more experiments, you can make a really usable tube car.

"The Lord is really a god!" Zhou Maitian was a little crazy at this time. He threw down the basin and ran to Ma Chao and said, "If the whole Yongzhou has overturned, barrel cars, oranges... In less than two years, the whole Yongzhou will be the richest state of the Han Dynasty!"

But Ma Chao smiled and looked at Zhou Maitian and Zheng Hun and said, "Two, do you just want to benefit Yongzhou? It should be noted that this thing can be used not only in Yongzhou, but also in the dense Eastern Wu of Heze, and even in places where the whole Han has water. Don't you want this rollover and tube car to become the most beautiful scene of a big man?

Zheng Hun and Zhou Maitian looked at each other and said, "The lord has the world in his heart, and he can't wait."

At this moment, Ma Chao looked at the model of the car, and he suddenly thought that there seemed to be many farming utensils in the textbook that could be used. In this way, coupled with the spread of his new crops to Fufeng and even the whole Yongzhou next year, will there be another starving to death?

At this moment, although Ma Chao was not on the battlefield, he also ignited a fighting spirit in his heart. It seems that the farmland of countless acres of land in Yongzhou is the enemy he wants to conquer...
