[Chapter 24 Spiral Pumps]
In Europe BC, Archimedes has already solved the problem of the water pump, he designed a very awesome screw water pump. What Robb didn’t expect was that in this plane, Archimedes had become a great wizard, and he had been dead for many years. Robb estimates that Archimedes’ screw pumps are already in use by many people in this world, but this remote town doesn’t know it yet.
Robb did not explain what the Archimedes water spiral is for the time being, but let the plasterer and the blacksmith work together to install all the iron pipes, faucets and other things. The connection between the iron pipes and the iron pipes is red hot on the spot. The two ends of the iron pipe are then spliced together. The place where the faucet and the iron pipe are connected is also red and spliced. In this era, only this simple and rude method can be used to solve the airtightness. In short, three long water pipes are stored from the water. The pool was pulled down and connected to the church toilet, kitchen, and fields in the yard.
Next, you have to wait for the reservoir to dry and solidify before it can be put into use.
At this time, Robb recruited the blacksmith to his side, used a branch to draw the image of the Archimedes screw pump on the ground, and said to the blacksmith with a smile: “You can build this thing after you go back, this time the iron pipe can be made thicker. A little, thin the iron and bend it into a spiral shape like this… This shouldn’t be difficult, right?”
“Oh, there is absolutely no problem with this.” The blacksmith said, “I can do it.”
He found that he could learn from Robb. He couldn’t help but get excited when he reached the “Master Craftsman” level. He was so excited that even his biceps were twitching. He couldn’t wait to make this strange thing and see it.
So, two days later, the spiral water pump came out. Although the blacksmith’s craftsmanship is very bad, it is impossible to make it into a beautiful streamlined shape, and even each spiral cannot be parallel, but it does not matter if it is ugly, it is good to be able to pump water. .
For two days, there was no time for this side of the reservoir to dry. Fortunately, Robb secretly used wind magic and fire magic to force dry the reservoir at night when no one was there, so that it finally caught up. Equipment made by a blacksmith.
This morning, hundreds of townspeople flocked to the church, and even the mayor brought his wife to watch the fun. In a small town like this, it’s really easy to get noticed by a church doing something. When the townspeople heard that the priest was going to show great technology today, they all came to watch it.
The small courtyard of the church was crowded with people, and Robb and Lillian were surrounded by the center.
The townspeople pointed at the high cistern, and from time to time someone whispered something.
Robb didn’t have to listen to guess, they should be wondering what the use of this thing is, well, now it only needs a small demonstration.
“Blacksmith, put the water pump in the well.”
“Okay, buy hair!” The blacksmith and a few townspeople came to help, carrying the long Archimedes screw pump to the well, and put the pump’s One end was put into a deep well, and the other end was placed on the edge of the cistern. The long spiral iron cylinder attracted all the townspeople to crane their necks to see.
Xifeng Town is a small town with “mining, agriculture, hunting, and herbal medicine” as its core industries. There are many blacksmiths in this town, and there are more than a dozen blacksmiths standing in the crowd. I’m thinking: I can build this thing, but I don’t know what it’s used for. If it’s easy to use, let’s make one too.
The plasterer came up and started to stir the handle on the screw pump. Soon, the whole pump began to rotate, and the spiral-shaped elbow kept pumping water from the well. Soon, the first The water was pumped into the reservoir.
“Huh? This is a thing that pumps water from a low place to a high place.”
“Wow! This thing is amazing!”
“I heard that it was invented by Archimedes, the great ancient wizard.”
“It’s amazing! ”
You can actually pump water like this. Hey, if we put this thing on the edge of the river, wouldn’t we be able to pump water to irrigate the farmland?
”
For these simple townspeople, this kind of craftsmanship can really be regarded as “God’s craftsmanship”, and they can’t help but sigh.
With the continuous rotation of the screw pump, a large amount of water in the well was pumped up. Soon, the reservoir was filled with water, and the plasterer who was in charge of operating the pump was not tired at all. The rod was much easier than he had imagined. He couldn’t help but exclaimed in ecstasy: “Buy Faren, this thing is amazing! I can’t wait to see your next demo.”
“Okay, the water is full, so let’s go to the next step. “Robb stood up, with a holy (flickering) smile, and stood in front of the water tap beside the farmland. He raised a hand high and said to the surrounding townspeople, “My children, What you’re going to see next is something really great, life-enhancing, and I’ll call it — tap water.”
“Tap water?” the townspeople whispered.
I saw Robb’s hand on the faucet and gently lifted…
“Crash!”
White water spurted out from the faucet.
This result was as expected by the plasterer. He was the first person in the town to understand the water system, but the other villagers were dumbfounded. When they got to the cistern, they finally realized that they had seen something.
Robb said with a smile: “Wherever you want to use water in your home, you only need to connect the water pipe to wherever. At any time, you only need to gently lift the faucet, and the iron pipe will bring the water from the reservoir to it. …Pull it in the opposite direction, look, the water has stopped…”
After saying this, Robb found that the faucet was still dripping after the faucet was tightened, meow, there is no rubber ring in it, it is impossible not to leak water , He hooked a wooden basin with his foot without a trace, followed it under the faucet, and then continued to put on a radiant and holy face.
“Wow!”
“It’s amazing.”
“This…this is amazing.”
“Praise the God of Light, Praise Maifaren, Praise Archimedes, and help us with such a great skill!”
Robb couldn’t help but want to complain again, you praise Archimedes well, I will definitely Not jealous, but what the hell is your praise order? Put the God of Light in the first place, and put me in the second place, all in front of Archimedes. Does Archimedes want no cards? Apologize to Archimedes for me.
In the midst of the praise, Robb walked to the stone chair, sat down, and instantly entered a state of laziness: “Okay, I’ve finished the demonstration, what should you do yourself, don’t make fun of it here. I The best knowledge has been passed on to you, and then you can figure it out for yourself.” The
townspeople slowly dispersed, and the mayor grabbed the plasterer and the blacksmith: “Hey, don’t leave, my house has to be furnished. One of these things, please go to my house to help make one.”
“The price…”
“The price is easy to negotiate…”
[Robb got tap water]
