Chapter 647 Liu Cheng: I wanted to keep a low profile, but my strength doesn't allow it(1/2)
Chapter 647 Liu Cheng: I wanted to keep a low profile, but my strength doesn’t allow it!
There is a clean pool in the courtyard.
Next to the pool, there is a table.
There are more than ten little figures on the desk.
These little people are all puppets.
Most of the hands and feet can move.
Some of the little figures held small gongs in their hands, some held drumsticks in their hands, drums were placed in front of them, some held shengxiao, some were riding horses, some were standing on their heads...
These little dolls are very delicately made and look lifelike.
But these puppets have a shortcoming, that is, they cannot move.
However, this shortcoming soon disappeared.
Ma Jun took a large kettle with a long handle and a long mouth, walked to the side, filled a pot of water, and walked to the edge of the table.
Tilt the kettle, and immediately a column of water will flow out from the long spout and fall on the wooden wheel on the table below.
The wooden wheel was impacted by the water column and began to rotate.
As the wooden wheel rotates, the small puppets that were originally motionless also start to move.
Some were playing drums here, some were beating gongs, those on horseback began to ride horses, those with small knives and guns in their hands began to dance, and those who were doing handstands began to stand upside down and down again...
These puppets, which were originally dead, suddenly came to life.
Moreover, the gong in the puppet's hand and the drum in front of it are all real.
As the wood is knocked, some sounds will be made.
Of course, playing the flute and sheng will not make any real sound, but will only move the head and head.
After all, it is impossible for these puppets to blow out air...
And the water poured from Ma Jun's hand did not flow everywhere.
After washing the wooden wheels, they all fell into the water tank below, where they collected and then flowed down one of the hollow table legs...
The whole thing is very delicately done.
Some people working nearby couldn't help but look this way in surprise.
After seeing this thing clearly, I felt extremely shocked and shocked.
His eyes widened involuntarily.
Strange!
It’s so strange!
I have never seen anything so exquisite and strange!
It's obviously a little man made of wood, but it just seems like it's come to life.
Liu Cheng looked at the puppet in front of him and couldn't help but smile.
Ma Jun's conception and craftsmanship are really exquisite!
You can actually make something like this!
It is really, really not easy to make something like this in this era.
"It's really good. It's fun. You're interested."
After Liu Cheng watched the puppet with great interest for a while, he looked at Ma Jun and praised it.
"When my son grows up, he will definitely be overjoyed when he sees this thing."
After hearing Liu Cheng's praise, Ma Jun couldn't help but smile.
"It's just some gadgets.
I am really a humble minister. Apart from these craftsmanship, I have nothing else that I can take out with me.
I can only make this little gadget to show my shame..."
Ma Jun had a smile on his face and said humbly.
While he was talking, a pot of water was already flowing cleanly.
Without the water flowing through the wooden wheel, these little puppets stopped and stopped moving.
"After installation, you can draw a stream of running water for flushing. You don't need anyone to water it, and it can run on its own, day and night..."
Ma Jun put down the kettle in his hand and said this to Liu Cheng.
Looking at the puppets on the table, Ma Jun felt very proud and happy, especially after seeing the shocked eyes of those around him who saw the puppets he had made, Ma Jun felt very proud in his heart.
I felt even more refreshed.
The concept of this thing is indeed very clever, especially the method of rinsing it with water and driving it, which is not something ordinary people can think of.
Seeing the emperor's uncle also praising this, my heart became even more cheerful.
Just as he was thinking this, he heard Liu Cheng say: "This thing of yours is indeed very good, and some of the ideas in it are very clever and can be put to great use."
Hearing the emperor's uncle praise him again, Ma Jun couldn't help but feel happy, but he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the emperor's uncle's words.
Can it be put to great use?
Which thing can come in handy?
He looked down at the puppet show below.
This is a person who coaxes children to play, and can also coax adults who have never seen these things to see strange things.
This is their greatest role,
Apart from these, is there any other function?
Why did the emperor's uncle say that this thing has great effects?
Ma Jun, who was full of joy just now, was shaken by Liu Cheng's words.
He stared at it for a while, thinking quickly. He couldn't figure out for a moment how the things he made could play a greater role.
At that moment, he looked a little puzzled and asked Liu Cheng.
Liu Cheng smiled and pointed at the wooden wheel.
"You just said that you can attract a stream of living water to wash the wooden wheel day and night, so that it can run day and night, right?"
Ma Jun nodded.
Those words were indeed what he said, but he still hadn't figured out how much of an effect such a thing could have.
When Liu Cheng saw Ma Jun, he was excited for a moment. The window paper had not been pierced. He smiled and spoke out his thoughts without being a Riddler.
He hates the Riddler himself and feels that the Riddler should be sentenced and shot!
Naturally, I would not be a Riddler.
"What if this wooden wheel is enlarged many times? Make it very huge.
Furthermore, how about modifying the wooden wheel, making a circle of buckets on it, and then carrying it to the river?"
Liu Cheng pointed at the wooden wheel, looked at Ma Jun and said with a smile.
Ma Jun immediately started thinking thoughtfully as Liu Cheng said.
After a while, Ma Jun's eyes suddenly brightened up, and he looked very excited.
"Uncle Emperor, this... this, this is okay, carry water!
Lift the water from the lower place to the higher place!"
Ma Jun said excitedly.
He was really excited.
As a person of this era, and someone who had participated in the construction of Longshou Canal before, and was still a person who put forward constructive opinions during the construction of Longshou Canal, Ma Jun is very aware of the important role of water conservancy!
In some places, the drought is so severe that when the water level in the river drops significantly, the river water has no way to enter the channel.
Someone needs to carry water up there and so on.
This is extremely tiring.
And the efficiency is extremely low.
It would be really great if we could make a water-fetching tool that relies on the flow of river water to move water from the ground to high places and flow it into the canals!
Not only can it save a lot of effort, it can also greatly improve the efficiency of water collection and irrigating the ground!
This is really great!
What a great idea!
Seeing Ma Jun showing such an expression and saying such words, Liu Cheng smiled on his face.
