Everyone cheered and wanted to speak but saw that Qiao Xin did not stop what she was doing and became busy again. The high-speed waterwheel, water mill and water cone were pieced together one after another.
The servants brought Qiao Yunqing and others in quietly. In order not to disturb Qiao Xin, everyone stayed quietly.
Many villagers in Laohu Town migrated from the bitter cold land in the north, so it was normal that they had never seen these tools in their lives. At this time, they dared not breathe and watched Qiao Xin's actions.
After assembling the tools, Qiao Xin didn't say much. He asked someone to fetch a few buckets of water and set up a terrain with different heights using tables and chairs. He put all the assembled things in place one by one, and then asked someone to pour water from the highest point. When the water fell from the height, the scraper beads on the waterwheel automatically turned under the power of the water.
When the first bucket is filled with water, the waterwheel begins to turn with a creaking sound. As the waterwheel turns, the water in the bucket is automatically carried to the basin next to it.
As long as there is water in the high place, the waterwheel will keep turning automatically. Thinking of the ditches that Qiao Xin had everyone build during this period, everyone suddenly understood.
"It's done, it's done, Boss, we really did it! With this, we won't have to work so hard on watering in the future!" Niu Dabao's face flushed, his voice was hoarse, his hair was messy, and he jumped up and down with joy!
"Quiet, we're not done yet!"
Everyone saw that the water that was not carried away by the waterwheel continued to hit the next terrain downwards, and the water cone was placed here.
In order to make the water mill effect more realistic, Qiao Xin ordered people to fetch a scoop of wheat and millet, and then poured the wheat and millet into the first and second wooden troughs of the water mill respectively.
As the water flow rotates, the main shaft under the water mill begins to rotate, driving the mill in the trough to roll in circles. The wheat is slowly ground into fine white flour, and the millet begins to husk and become rice. The third section of the water mill is equipped with a small round water bucket and plate, which is used for drainage and irrigation.
This design achieves three goals at once, and it is very thoughtful and clever! It stunned everyone present!
