After Cheng Yaojin and Yuan Tiangang left, Wang Zhao carried his newly acquired silver and prepared to buy it.
Riding his electric bike to the downtown area, he found a new jewelry store and sold the silver for 5.20 yuan.
After deducting the cost of building a house for Li Shimin and the others, he earned a net profit of 79,040 yuan.
Adding on the money he earned previously, the total was 232,790 yuan.
Then, he went to eat a seafood hotpot buffet. He came out of the hotpot restaurant with a big belly and bought some vegetables before riding his electric bike home.
When she arrived at her house, she saw a box in front of her door.
There was a note on the box.
Wang Zhao picked it up and read it. It said," Wang Zhao, there's some kimchi I made in the box. Take it and eat it. It's delicious."”
He picked up the box and opened it. There was a stainless steel basin inside.
The basin was filled with white and tender pickles mixed with red millet spicy.
Seeing this, he could not help but drool.
He had eaten this kind of kimchi before.
It was made from baby cabbage, millet chili, salt, sugar, and other ingredients. It was very good with rice.
After returning to the house, he went to the kitchen and picked up a piece with his chopsticks.
It was crispy and tender, with a sweet and sour taste. It was very delicious.
After eating a few times, he put it down and prepared to eat it with his rice.
Then, he came to the entrance of the passage to see the situation of the Dew Palace.
He found Li Shiming standing in front of the bookshelf counting his instant noodles.
"What happened? Was it stolen again?"
Li Shimin nodded." Another bag is missing. I don't know who did it."”
"Then take it back to the building. If you leave it here, it might be stolen.”
"I think so too.
He had originally planned to put the instant noodles on the bookshelf and wait until he was hungry after reading the memorials at night. However, he had casually taken a packet of instant noodles and it had been stolen twice.
I must catch this thief."
"Then how do you plan to catch them?"
Li Shi Min thought for a moment.
"Tonight, I'll let Ashina Simo hide on this beam. That way, we can catch him.
There are six left now. I'll put one on the bookshelf so that when the thief steals it, he can have evidence. I'll take the rest back to the house.”
Then, he hid one of the bags in its original position on the bookshelf and took the rest back to the building.
Not long after he left, a commotion came from outside.
"Be careful, this thing is too high. You have to take it diagonally in. Be careful not to hit the door.”
"Guard Li, you carry it over there."
Immediately after.
The door opened, and Cheng Yaojin, Yuan Tiangang, and two guards came in.
The four of them carried the finished blocks in.
Then, he carried it all the way to the water tower and put it down.
Cheng Yaojin noticed Wang Zhao.
"Young Master Wang, the tackle is done. This thing is amazing.
Just now, we tried it out in the blacksmith shop and easily lifted up a metal lump that weighed more than a thousand pounds.
The blacksmiths were full of praise for this thing and said that they wanted to make one too.”
The noise outside attracted Li Shiming's attention.
He came out of the building and looked at the iron frame that was as tall as the water tower." What's this?”
Cheng Yaojin smiled and said," This is the tackle that Young Master Wang taught us to make. It's very energy-saving and can easily carry a bucket of water to the water tower.”
Li Shimin quickly walked over." So powerful, Yizhen. Quickly, let me see what you're doing."”
Cheng Yaojin scooped a bucket of water from the pond in front of the building and hung it on the iron hook of the tackle.
Then, he pulled the rope and handed it to Li Shiming." Your Majesty, try it yourself. Just pull this rope down."”
Li Shiming walked over and took the rope from Cheng Yaojin. He then began to pull the rope down.
The next moment, he was stunned.
It was a hundred catties of water, but he actually used the strength of lifting about ten catties of water to pull it up.
Soon, the bucket reached the top of the water tower.
Cheng Yaojin stepped on the ladder to the water tower and poured the water into it.
"Your Majesty, let go of the rope."
Li Shi Min did as he was told, and the bucket slowly fell down using its own gravity.
Cheng Yaojin came down from the ladder and asked," Your Majesty, what do you think?”
Li Shimin looked at the block and sighed,"
"It's amazing. Using a few wheels and a rope can save a lot of energy.
If they had used this block when they were building the city wall, the soldiers would not have been so tired.
When spring came, he asked the craftsmen to make more tackle blocks for the soldiers to use.
Alright, let's continue refilling the water. I'll go take a look at Young Master Wang.”
Li Shimin came to the passage and asked curiously," Young Master Wang, how does this gear save energy? Tell me about it. It feels amazing."”
Wang Zhao cleared his throat and pointed at the tackle block in front of the water tower.
"You see, the kind of fixed roller on the iron frame is called a fixed roller. It can change direction.
The kind of pulleys that moved up and down with the rope was called moving pulleys, which could save energy.
A single moving block could save half of the force.
If a movable block and a fixed block were combined, different combinations would save different forces. At least half of the force could be saved, and at most, 60%.”
Li Shi Min was stunned.
What kind of immortal knowledge was this?
He felt that the brains of people from a thousand years later were too powerful.
And there was definitely a lot more of this knowledge. If the Great Tang could learn all of it, it would raise the overall strength of the Great Tang and defeat its surrounding enemies.
Thinking of this, he was even more determined to learn about the future and complete the Industrial Tang Project with Wang Zhao.
Soon, it was night time.
While everyone was immersed in their dreams, Wang Zhao tiptoed to the entrance of the passageway. He wanted to see who was stealing Li Shimin's instant noodles.
He looked at the roof of the Dew Palace and found a black shadow. It seemed that Ashina Simo had been waiting for a long time.
