[Chapter 23 Archimedes Did You Know?]
The plasterer came soon. The town was not very big. The middle-aged woman found the plasterer in just a few minutes. Just like the blacksmith just now, he was also a simple and honest middle-aged man. Bai, he quickly put on a respectful look: “Mai Faren, I heard that you are looking for a plasterer, and I will be happy to help you.”
Robb didn’t beat around the bush, and said directly: “I need you to take my church room. Cut the roof off, and then build a cistern on top.”
“Huh?” The plasterer was taken aback: “Faren, this can’t be done, building a cistern on the roof is top-heavy, the house is easy to collapse, and it is also It’s easy to leak water, and it will look like it’s raining in the house.”
Robb thought about it carefully, and yes, the construction level of these years is not up to the level of the roof storage tank.
“That’s it.” Robb said: “Beside the church, on the open space next to the well, build a small stone tower, and then build a cistern on top of the tower.”
“I will do this.” The plasterer hurriedly saluted: “But this is It needs a little more labor, and I have to move a lot of stones, and I am not strong enough by myself.”
This kind of labor is quite troublesome for ordinary people, but for the rich, it is a trivial matter. , Robb suddenly thought: I used to take tasks in the game, and I was instructed by NPC to turn around. Now it’s almost time for Feng Shui to take turns.
OK, post a constructive task.
He took out two gold coins and said with a smile: “Okay, now I’ll give you a task, that is to help me build a small stone tower as high as a roof, and build a large cistern on it, these two gold coins are Reward, you can find a way to hire laborers yourself, but I don’t care.” The
plasterer is overjoyed, how much can the laborers in this broken town be worth, and you can invite a lot of people to line up to carry stones without spending dozens of silver coins. After deducting the material cost, you will earn at least one gold coin for completing this task yourself.
He happily said: “Buy Faren, please leave this to me.” The
plasterer praised Robb with all the compliments he knew, and then left happily.
Three days later!
Next to the well, a stone pagoda with a wide body and a thick body was erected. Since a cistern needs to be built on the top of the tower, this stone tower cannot be built very small. It must be built into a shape with a big waist and a round shape. The bottom is made of solid stones. It is not so much a stone tower as it is a stone mountain.
Twenty townspeople were dispatched to build this stone mountain. They kept carrying stones from the rocky slopes on the side of the mountain, and under the command of the plasterer, they built the base for three days. Kind of weird mud to stick together. And each of them was paid only three silver coins, so they were already very happy.
The plasterer has pasted layers of waterproof material in the top pool. To be honest, Robb really doesn’t understand how people in this era prevent water leakage. He also does this kind of strange material. I don’t know, but it doesn’t matter. Anyway, it’s good to store water in the end.
“Buy hair!” The plasterer gave Robb a big gift: “It’s done now, as long as it’s dry, you can store water in it. If it rains before it’s dry, I’ll be there immediately and use Cover it with an oilcloth.”
Robb said, “Very good, these two gold coins are yours.” The
plasterer took the money: “Thank you to the God of Light, thank you for buying the hair.” And thank
God first? Well, you are not benevolent, and I am not righteous. Robb
put on a splendid appearance: “Oh, my child, the god of light will remember your dedication to the church.”
The god of light, then I will let the god of light remember your dedication. As for me, of course, I will not remember Luo, I want to be a feudal landlord with no emotions, hum!
After the plasterer collected the money, he looked curiously at the stone tower standing tall by the well: “Maifaren, what are you doing? Although I made this thing for you, I don’t think this thing is at all. It’s not practical, why build the cistern at such a high place? How can the water be used like this? Do you have to build a ladder to climb up every time you need water?”
Robb laughed: “Well, you first Don’t worry! There will be an answer soon.”
Just as he was speaking, the blacksmith came, and he also brought many iron pipes of different lengths and several faucets.
As soon as he saw Robb, he immediately saluted respectfully, greeted the God of Light first, and then his father: “Mai Faren, I have finished the iron pipes and faucets according to your requirements, and I have received the instructions from you. After the process, I quickly made the iron pipe, but the faucet was really too difficult and took a lot of time.”
“Well, it doesn’t matter, it’s understandable to take some time.” Robb smiled and said to the plasterer: ” Help the blacksmith to install these iron pipes in the deepest part of the cistern.” The
blacksmith doesn’t know what he is doing now, but as soon as the plasterer saw the iron pipes, he looked up at the high-rise buildings. The reservoir suddenly understood. After all, he was a profession that often dealt with mud and water, and he knew better than anyone that the water flowed down.
“Hey, hey?” the plasterer shouted: “I seem to understand something, so…is this the way the cistern is used? Buy garde, buy embarrassment, buy 嘚嘚!” The
plasterer felt like he was learning Something has arrived.
However, he quickly sat down on the ground and said angrily: “No! Although it seems that it is convenient to get water, but if it doesn’t rain all the time, there will be no water in the pool, and this pool will not be used at all. , and even if the next rainstorm is full of water, as long as it doesn’t rain for a few days, it will be used up. Although the idea of adding iron pipes to this high-level reservoir is great, it is actually not very practical.” Photo by
Robb Patting the plasterer on the shoulder, he smiled and said, “Archimedes, do you know?”
“I know!” The plasterer nodded sharply: “Archimedes, the most famous ancient great wizard, no one on this continent does not know.”
Roboqi said: “Great wizard? Cough!”
Well, it seems Archimedes also exists in this world, but he is no longer an ordinary mathematician, but a great wizard. Forget it, that’s not the point! Let’s talk about the business first, Robb said: “Archimedes has already solved the pumping problem, its name is – Archimedes Water Spiral.”
