Once you become a boy, marry a good man, and become rich together

Chapter 268 Dragon Car

Lin Jingsheng has been like a resentful woman these days. When she came out of the room and gently closed the door for Jiang Ci, her face was full of resentment.

Ever since those guys came, Jiang Ci shifted his attention away from him and focused on building the keel car with those two guys.

As luck would have it, when I looked up I saw the little old man walking towards me.

Jiang Ci naturally also felt the resentment that was transmitted from Lin Jingsheng, and that look in his eyes seemed to become material.

Jiang Ci silently apologized to him in her heart.

Thanks to the flexible minds and hands-on skills of the two people who came, the progress of making the keel car exceeded his imagination.

In just a few days, a small keel car is about to take shape.

Mr. Zheng came here to call Jiang Ci over to help assemble the keel car.

The open space was filled with keel carriage parts, and they worked together to assemble the keel carriage.

Qi Lianshan noted down all the deficiencies and errors, and made sure there were no deviations next time he made a large keel car.

It took me quarter of an hour to install the keel car that reaches the thigh, and it was a very fulfilling experience to see it.

"it is done!"

Qi Lianshan pushed the pedal with his hand, but this was a small keel car, and the pedal was proportionally reduced, so he couldn't use the pedal and could only push it with his hand.

As soon as he pushed it, the whole thing started to turn.

Jiang Ci was very satisfied to see the keel car turned smoothly and easily. It was exactly the same as the simple keel car described in the video he had seen before.

"Let's try somewhere with water."

"Try it. We have to try it and see how it works!"

They moved the keel cart to the side of the pond, submerged the lower end in water, and fixed several supports with stones.

Qi Lianshan shook it but it didn't shake. "It's fixed."

The person at the right pedal started to pedal, and the keel cart turned, bringing the water in the pond to the shore.

Mr. Zheng stroked his mustache and seemed very satisfied. "Not bad, not bad."

"Okay, let's stop for a moment."

Qi Lianshan asked him to stop, saying that it was not a big deal to have so much water in the yard.

Jiang Ci also realized that something was wrong, "We went to the river to try it at the beginning."

The water in this pond is stagnant, so manpower is needed to move the keel cart. This is equivalent to a scaled-down pedal used to hold water, so that the water in the pond can be transported up.

If it is placed by the river, we can see if the water flow in the river can allow the keel cart to do without manpower, and see if the water can be transported directly up by relying solely on the water flow to drive the water-filled pedals.

"It's okay. At least this proves that water can be transported up there by manpower."

They moved the keel cart to the riverside, and the flow of the river easily carried the water to the shore.

Jiang Ci thought that the keel car was a success and they just needed to make a proportionally enlarged one, but they overlooked a big problem.

After waking up from a nap, Jiang Ci opened her eyes and met Lin Jingsheng's wolf-like eyes.

Jiang Ci knew that she had neglected Lin Jingsheng these days, so she put her arms around Lin Jingsheng's neck and took the initiative to kiss him passionately.

The two kissed passionately until Jiang Ci felt she was about to suffocate, and then Lin Jingsheng pulled away reluctantly.

Then he buried his head in Jiang Ci's neck and rubbed it.

Jiang Ci felt something stirring beneath Lin Jingsheng.

"Aci, can you?"

"Wait until night. I'm afraid now—"

Before he finished speaking, Qi Lianshan's voice was heard from outside the yard.

Jiang Ci quickly pushed Lin Jingsheng away and adjusted her voice, "Wait a moment."

Lin Jingsheng's face darkened.

The problem is that when a small keel car is placed in the river, the impact of the water flow is much greater than that of a large keel car.

Moreover, it can scoop less water each time. If you change to a larger keel cart, it can scoop more water from each pedal, and the relative weight will be heavier.

If the current keel cart is enlarged proportionally, the impact of the water flow in the river remains unchanged, so the proportionally enlarged keel cart only relies on the impact force of the water flow and it is highly likely that it will not be able to transport the river water to the shore, and manpower will be needed to complete it.

Then the keel cart designed to rely on water flow and manpower has lost its original meaning. In this case, it would be better to directly build a keel cart that relies on manpower, which would not be so troublesome to manufacture and the entire keel cart would be lighter.

Several of them were sitting together discussing methods. They would be unwilling to do so if they were asked to make the dragon frame directly with manpower, as they had obviously found a method that did not require the hard work of the farmers.

They discussed several ways to try to improve it, and replaced it with lighter wood. This was a must. Jiangci did not consider what kind of wood to use when it was being made.

Replace those thick pedals that were originally made to be sturdy with thinner ones.

The depth of the pedal can also be made smaller so that it can scoop up less water, but this is still debatable. After all, after the water reaches the highest point, it still has a short distance to go before falling down to push the keel car to rotate.

These were the initial methods they came up with, and now they were going to try making a keel car. When Jiang Ci went to find them the next afternoon, he discovered that they were working on the keel car.

Jiang Ci felt it was unbelievable. It had only been a day. Although it was a small keel car, the speed was inevitably too fast.

Several of them assembled the assembly together. Jiang Ci couldn't help, so she squatted over and watched Mr. Zheng's movements. "It's done."

"it is done."

Jiang Ci looked at the four energetic people and asked, "Did you sleep last night?"

"I slept for more than two hours."

I only slept for two hours and it's been a busy day. How can you be so energetic?

They took their keel-cart to a forked stream and set it there.

"If our keel car is really made, then will there be so many usable rivers in those places that need irrigation due to drought?"

“There is also a part of drought in the southern part of your county, but there are more rivers there, so there is no need to worry about it.

But it’s a little harder to say about the area north of Yongzhou. Although there are rivers there, the crops grown there are more drought-resistant. If a keel cart is built, it can save a lot of the crops.”

"I think Yongzhou is the only place in this area that is not experiencing drought."

Mr. Zheng looked at Jiang Ci with inquiry in his eyes, "I think your town is the only one that is not experiencing drought."

Jiang Ci didn't understand what he meant, "Huh?"

"Yongzhou and Jizhou are fine. It rained a few days ago, so they can hold out for a while longer. But I came to your town and all the way to Linjia Village. It seems that the crops here are not short of water at all. Was it heavy here last time it rained?"

"It rained really hard, soaking the ground."

The keel cart tested this time is feasible, but it is not yet perfect. The speed of transporting water is too slow and still needs to be improved.

I also experimented to see whether it would be faster if I scooped more water from the pedal or if I scooped less water. The result was that the impact was similar.
