Soon, a month passed.
Zhao Qi once again gained a new understanding of Great Qin's craftsmanship.
He believed that he had built the main body of the waterwheel.
Although it was small.
But the key points were already there.
He just needed to make a simple enlarged version.
But!
More than a hundred craftsmen!
It took nearly a month.
Only then did he build the enlarged version of the waterwheel.
This made Zhao Qi anxious.
He almost went to battle himself at the age of two.
Of course.
It was indeed not difficult to build a waterwheel.
Most of the time was wasted on how to make the waterwheel reach an equilibrium point in the river.
This involved some physics knowledge.
To Great Qin's craftsmen, this was the most important thing.
It was really a little difficult for them.
However…
At least it was done.
On this day.
The First Emperor led the officials to a large river outside Xianyang Palace.
In Great Qin.
Manpower irrigation was a very troublesome thing, especially during the drought.
It was purely man-made irrigation.
Often, it was too late, causing many crops in the farmland to die of thirst.
The officials were all curious.
Why did the First Emperor bring them here?
He looked at the big wheel in front of him.
They began to guess.
"What is this?"
"I've never seen it before. What's its use?”
"I heard that it's a divine weapon that can cure droughts!”
"Control the drought?"
"That's impossible. If the heavens don't send rain, how can they alleviate the drought?”
The First Emperor carried Zhao Qi and stood on a high ground.
He looked at the officials.
" Your Majesty," Li Si reminded from the side," everything is ready. We can start drawing water!"”
The First Emperor nodded and said in a loud voice,""Water!"
Instantly.
The few craftsmen in the river quickly moved the card slot away.
The rapid river water began to drive the waterwheel.
"It moved!"
"It actually moved!"
"Look, it's turning!"
The waterwheel was more than ten meters tall, and it was supported by a five-meter-long axis with 24 wooden spokes that spread out in a radius.
At the top of each spoke was a scraper and a bucket.
Scraper to scrape water, bucket to fill water.
The river water rushed over and slowly rotated the spoke with the inertia of the water. One by one, the water buckets were filled with river water and lifted up step by step.
At the top, the water bucket naturally tilted, pouring water into the aqueduct and flowing into the irrigation farmland.
The waterwheel looked like a wheel.
The large waterwheel could irrigate 600 to 700 mu of farmland!
Small ones can also irrigate one or two hundred mu.
It could be said!
Once the waterwheel was fully implemented.
Not only could it save manpower, but more importantly, it could irrigate farmland and resist drought.
Magical!
It was too magical!
Great Qin suffered from many droughts, and there would be a drought every few years.
For example, a farmer could cultivate ten mu of land.
Once there was a drought.
The farmers had to use manpower to carry water for irrigation.
However, manpower was limited.
He could only water one mu of land with all his strength.
As for the rest of the rice, they would have no harvest in the coming year because there was no water.
Basically.
All the officials knew where the problem lay.
Everyone's eyes widened.
He watched as the waterwheel brought the water from the river up into the water trough and flowed it endlessly to the farmland.
He had succeeded!
The real river came naturally.
There was no need for manpower.
He really succeeded!
The First Emperor was delighted. He looked at Zhao Qi and laughed,""Hahahaha, as expected of my grandson. He's only two years old, but he solved a huge problem for Great Qin. He's definitely my Saint Child!”
The officials were also very excited.
He knew it in his heart.
This waterwheel could really solve Great Qin's drought.
So that the people could rely on farming.
To feed himself.
It would not lead to starving people everywhere, and the people would not be able to survive.
This was definitely the greatest invention.
Many officials were very curious.
Such whimsical ideas, which craftsman did they come from?
"Wonderful, truly wonderful. This item can be called a divine artifact and is an act that benefits the people!”
"I wonder who is it that has such talent to create such an ingenious waterwheel?”
"I heard that it's the Little Lord!"
"I heard that the Little Lord built a simple waterwheel to play with mud!”
"Your Majesty, you obtained wonderful ideas from it, recruited craftsmen, and built an enlarged version of the waterwheel.”
" What?!"
"Little imperial grandson?"
"He's only two years old!"
"He actually has such talent!"
"No wonder the little imperial grandson is so favored by His Majesty. As expected of an imperial grandson with the bloodline of the Ancestral Dragon. He's already able to benefit the people at such a young age. His future is probably limitless!”
"Sigh…he's His Majesty's grandson after all. He's not like my grandson. He's already four years old, but he only knows how to cry all day long.”
For a moment.
The name of the little imperial grandson was widely spread in Xianyang Palace.
Previously.
Although the officials had heard that the little imperial grandson was very doted on by the Emperor.
However, there were not many officials who had actually seen the little imperial grandson.
However, the moment the waterwheel appeared.
Xianyang City was in an uproar.
In fact…
Countless people called the two-year-old Zhao Qi a child prodigy.
It made Zhao Qi become someone else's child for a moment.
They would be compared at any time.
The success of the waterwheel.
Indeed, Zhao Qi was the first to receive the credit.
This could be considered as relieving some of the pressure on Great Qin's people who were experiencing a drought.
There was no time to lose.
The First Emperor ordered the craftsmen of the Great Qin Empire to gather.
With each county as the base point.
They began to build waterwheels on a large scale.
The commoners were using the waterwheel.
For a moment.
They began to sing praises for the First Emperor.
As the people at the bottom of Great Qin's hierarchy, the commoners did not want much. As long as they could eat, they would support Great Qin.
With the waterwheel.
At least during the autumn harvest, there would not be no harvest.
To many of Great Qin's people.
The farmland was their only source of survival.
If there was a bumper harvest, there would be a full stomach.
If you don't harvest anything, you'll starve to death!
Reality was cruel.
Therefore…
The appearance of the waterwheel made the commoners extremely happy.
Zhao Qi was only two years old.
He also became the reincarnation of the King of Virtue.
