Chapter 107 Surprises keep coming

Xu Feng took the crossbow from Qi Huanhuan's hand and fired a few arrows as a test shot.

"The powerful crossbows you have here are indeed much more lethal than those of the Jinyiwei."

Xu Feng turned around and looked at Qi Huanhuan with a puzzled look, "Are all the things here made by Mr. Zhuge?"

"Of course."

Qi Huanhuan looked at Xu Feng with delight, "Mr. Zhuge is quite capable. Not only can he make these exquisite gadgets, he can also make water wheels and forge weapons..."

Qi Huanhuan led Xu Feng to continue walking inside, "Further ahead is our plantation."

Xu Feng looked around and saw birds singing and flowers blooming. The endless fields were bent with lush rice crops, which was a prosperous scene.

"what is this?"

Xu Feng was surprised to find that there were strawberries and blueberries in the plantation. These two fruits are only available in modern times.

"Are these also Mr. Zhuge's masterpieces?"

Xu Feng became more and more certain in his heart that Zhuge Xuan was most likely a person who traveled from the modern era.

Isn’t it a blessing to be able to meet people of the same generation in this era?

"Miss Qi, I would like to meet Mr. Zhuge."

Xu Feng became more and more curious about Zhuge Xuan's identity and made a rash request, but fortunately Qi Huanhuan readily agreed.

"follow me."

Qi Huanhuan paused and continued, "Actually, I'd like to introduce you to Master Zhuge, but he's currently researching waterwheels."

Under the guidance of Qi Huanhuan, Xu Feng came into a room.

After the two of them pushed open the door, what came into view were rows of wooden air vents. A man in his early thirties was squatting in the middle, holding a blueprint in his hand and comparing it with the wooden parts in his hand.

"Mr. Zhuge..."

Qi Huanhuan excitedly stepped forward and took the other person's arm, "I guessed you were just fiddling with your wood chips here."

Mr. Zhuge turned around and his originally serious expression immediately turned into a smile when he saw Qi Huanhuan.

"Saint, these are not just pieces of wood. Don't underestimate them. If you really put them together, they can be very useful."

Zhuge Xuan then placed the latest design drawing in front of Qi Huanhuan. "Look, this is the waterwheel I designed. If it can be used for farmland irrigation, it can save a lot of manpower and material resources."

"I'll introduce you to a new friend."

Qi Huanhuan did not take the drawings as usual, but instead pulled Mr. Zhuge to Xu Feng.

"His name is Xu Feng, he is..."

"I know about Kailong Warrior. He just recently joined forces with the Jinyiwei to destroy Jianfeng Mountain. He also uncovered the corruption and abuse of power by the Linhai County Magistrate and the Japanese pirates. More importantly, he defeated a master-level Japanese pirate. He brought honor to us all..."

Mr. Zhuge recounted all of Xu Feng's great achievements one by one as if they were his own treasures.

"So you know all this."

Qi Huanhuan looked at Mr. Zhuge excitedly, "We even went to wipe out a group of bandits. We were doing justice for the people and getting rid of harm."

"Saint, you..."

Mr. Zhuge looked at Qi Huanhuan with concern, but seeing that Qi Huanhuan had returned safely, he naturally didn't say anything more.

"Is Mr. Zhuge studying the waterwheel?"

Xu Feng took a look at the unfinished waterwheel placed in the center and immediately walked forward.

"This is the water truck I modified, but for some reason it's difficult to bring in large quantities of water."

Mr. Zhuge looked at the masterpiece in front of him with a sad face. It was obviously only one step away from completion.

In fact, the waterwheel is an ancient irrigation tool, also called a skywheel.

Xu Feng looked around and saw that the new waterwheel made by Mr. Zhuge was about 10 meters high. It was supported by a 6-meter-long axle with a diameter of about 0.5 meters, with 24 wooden banners.

"Sir, you can increase the number of wooden banners. This will increase the turning force and resistance of the waterwheel, and this will naturally solve the problem."

Xu Feng quickly and pointedly pointed out the shortcomings of the new waterwheel.

"This……"

Mr. Zhuge frowned slightly, obviously having some doubts about Xu Feng's words.

After the waterwheel is manufactured, it is spread out radially in all directions, and each banner has a scraper and a water-shaped funnel at the end.

"The funnel attached to the end can also increase its capacity."

This waterwheel is very ingeniously designed. The scraper can hold a bucket of water when scraping water, thus forming a continuous operation.

However, these are not the most ingenious aspects of the new waterwheel.

"When it rains, the river water rushes in and continues to flow. The spokes rotate due to inertia, so each bucket can be filled with river water, gradually rising up and pouring the water into the farmland as it rotates downward."

As soon as Xu Feng finished speaking, he immediately picked up a dumpling from the side, poured some water into the funnel and gave Mr. Zhuge a live demonstration.

"Squeak..."

"Squeak..."

As water was injected into the water truck, the large fan began to turn.

"The amount of water entering is indeed much greater, which is more conducive to irrigating farmland."

Mr. Zhuge was surprised to find that Xu Feng's method really solved the problem that had troubled him for a long time.

The appearance of a waterwheel resembles a wheel, and the diameter of a larger waterwheel is generally about 20m.

"Generally speaking, a large waterwheel can irrigate 600 to 700 mu of farmland, while a small pond can irrigate 100 to 200 mu of farmland."

"Master Xu knows these?"

Mr. Zhuge saw Xu Feng's masterpiece with his own eyes and looked at him with admiration.

"These are all piece of cake."

"In fact, water wheels can not only be used to irrigate farmland, but can also drive millstones."

Finally, Xu Feng put forward a new point of view.

"Mr. Xu, what do you mean?"

Mr. Zhuge immediately put down the blueprint in his hand and said, "I hope Mr. Xu can give me some advice."

Xu Feng then pointed out that the waterwheel actually has traction when it rotates, and this force can be used to drive the millstone to grind and husk the rice, which of course can save a lot of manpower.

"Mr. Xu's idea is quite unusual. This is the first time I've heard of it."

Perhaps impressed by Xu Feng's talent, Mr. Zhuge specially took out the black tea he had collected for a long time to entertain Xu Feng.

Qi Huanhuan, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but grumble, "The production of this black tea is extremely low, and Mr. Zhuge, you usually don't drink it, yet you actually brought it out to treat Mr. Xu today."

"Sometimes I tasted this, and you wouldn't give me any of it even if I asked for it."

Mr. Zhuge looked at Qi Huanhuan with a doting look on his face, "Saint, there is plenty of black tea today."
