    As soon as he left, Chen Wanrong, surrounded by Ye Tianheng and others, rushed to the shore of Weishui in a hurry.  The Tang Dynasty lacked power, so Ye Tianheng and others designed the machine tools to be driven by water power. They built a large workshop on the bank of the Wei River, dug a ditch to divert the Wei River, and installed hydraulic devices so that the machine tools would have power.

    Chen Wanrong rushed to the workshop and took a look. It was a huge workshop with dozens of houses and many soldiers guarding it. He asked with a smile: "Master Ye, why do you build such a big building?"

    Ye Tianheng patted his chest proudly: "Little friend, guess what?"

    Kou Yibing said with a smile: "General Chen, look, isn't Brother Ye betraying you? Just ask me directly." He looked like he was only waiting for Chen Wanrong to ask, quite contented.

    This question is not difficult. Chen Wanrong understood after a moment of thought: "Okay! You are very ambitious, and you actually came up with this idea. If there is one in each workshop here, wouldn't there be dozens of them?  "

    "That's right!" Liu Huaide took over and said ambitiously: "General Chen, if you think about it, this machine tool is so useful. If we don't make more of it, what will happen?"

    The more the better, the more machine tools there are, the easier it will be to make the chemical equipment Chen Wanrong needs.  Chen Wanrong was extremely excited and followed Ye Tianheng and the others into a workshop, where they saw a machine tool quietly placed in the room.  Chen Wanrong had seen the semi-finished product of this machine tool before he went on the expedition. Now that he saw the finished product, the appearance was quite different. Chen Wanrong couldn't help but stride over, stroking the machine tool with his left hand, and couldn't help but look at it. It was naturally incomparable with modern machine tools, but still  Considerable.

    After taking a closer look at the formation, Chen Wanrong was very proud and said: "Is it easy to use?"

    Kou Yibing laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth: "What's the point? Of course it's very easy to use. At least you don't need a strong man to step on it."

    If modern people heard this, they would definitely burst into laughter.  Who has ever seen a machine tool driven by a strong man?  The earliest simple machines in the Tang Dynasty relied on two strong men to step on them.  Now we have water power, which is a big improvement, a great improvement.

    "Try it!" Chen Wanrong began to roll up his sleeves.

    "Little friend, please watch first." Ye Tianheng put down the crutches without saying a word, picked up an iron block and fixed it on the machine tool. He turned the handle and connected the power unit. Hearing a rumble, the machine tool started to move.  .  The iron block was pushed over and came into contact with the tool, and iron filings fell down one after another.

    Use strong men to step on the machinery. Because the manpower is uneven, the speed will be fast and slow, which is very difficult to control.  Now with the power of water, the speed is very uniform, and the iron filings fall down slowly. In just a moment, there are more iron filings on the ground.

    "Very good! Very good!" Chen Wanrong was extremely excited and blurted out: "If only it could be faster!"

    This is driven by water power instead of a motor, so the speed of the machine tool is relatively slow, which will reduce efficiency.  Chen Wanrong's words of regret should not be understood as blaming the Tang people.  There were no motors in the Tang Dynasty, so they had to rely on water power, which could not make them fast even if they were fast.

    "This is already very fast!" Ye Tianheng said with a smile: "Little friend, come and try it."

    Chen Wanrong suddenly thought of a question and said: "I'm not busy. Master Ye, take me to see your power device quickly."

    "My little friend, what's so interesting here?" Ye Tianheng said, still on crutches, he took Chen Wanrong with Liu Huaide and the others.

    Once he arrived at the place where the hydraulic device was installed, Chen Wanrong took a closer look and said with a smile: "I understand. Our speed can be improved a lot."

    "Is it true?" Kou Yibing didn't believe it.

    This power device uses gear meshing. This idea was very advanced in the Tang Dynasty.  The only thing is that they made the two meshing gears the same size, which would reduce the speed.  It is not difficult to improve. Chen Wanrong pointed to the gear connected to the machine tool and said: "The method is very simple, just make the gear smaller."

    It doesn¡¯t require much advanced mechanical knowledge. As long as you have ridden a bicycle, you will know that the wheel on the front of the chain is large and the wheel on the back is small. What is the reason?  Just to speed things up.  If the two wheels on which the chain is hung are the same size, can the bicycle go so fast?

    This principle is very simple, but it is a bit difficult for people in the Tang Dynasty to understand.  Kou Yibing and the others, who had always trusted Chen Wanrong, hesitated a little and asked, "General Chen, is this useful?"

    Chen Wanrong smiled and said: "You will know if it works or not. You don't need to make it too big, just make it this big." Chen Wanrong showed them the size.

    "Okay! Let's give it a try." Liu Huaide thought it would be easy to give it a try, so he readily agreed.

    You only need to turn this gear? It¡¯s not that I¡¯m being hypocritical, it¡¯s really a big deal and I have to think about it clearly.  In the past, this vertical kiln would never have been made.  Now, it is not difficult to do so.  There are two reasons. With the help of machine tools, the required parts can be easily made.  Another point is that since I got the advice from my friends, our steel has become better and it is not difficult to make it.  "

    Chen Wanrong and Zhang Deming met for the first time in Luojiadian. When they heard that he had a master like Ye Tianheng behind him, they started thinking about it at that time. They thought that if the steel in the Tang Dynasty could be further improved, the necessary chemical equipment could be built.  Only by getting out of the dilemma of wooden cauldrons experienced by alchemists could chemical industry truly take root in the Tang Dynasty.  He told Zhang Deming some methods of steelmaking, and Zhang Deming immediately went to see Ye Tianheng.

    At that time, Ye Tianheng was already old and living in Ning County.  As soon as I heard Zhang Deming talk about it, my eyes suddenly lit up. How could I take care of myself in old age? Return to the Ordnance Supervision and lead a group of people to make steel.  After this period of hard work, the steel produced has made significant progress.  Regarding this matter, Chen Wanrong thought to himself that he had made the right idea that day, otherwise, how could there be any suitable steel today?

    After the explanation, everyone was relieved, relaxed, and smiled knowingly.

    "My little friend, if there is anything else I need, let me tell you." Ye Tianheng is the kind of person who gets more excited the more difficulties he encounters.  Making vertical kilns is difficult, but he enjoys the challenge.

    Chen Wanrong was also excited and said with a smile: "Making cement requires grinding machinery and grinding it into powder."

    Ye Tianheng laughed and said: "My little friend, this is not difficult. I can't help but old man. Little friend, there seems to be a problem with the vertical kiln, so I just said it. Little friend, have you ever thought about where the vertical kiln should be placed?  If the kiln is moved, it will cause uneven calcination. It would be better if the kiln could rotate."

    It would be good to be able to move, but Chen Wanrong chose to do this because of the lack of power in the Tang Dynasty. He nodded and said: "Master Ye is right, it would be good if it could rotate. But, where can we find such a big power?"  "

    Ye Tianheng was full of confidence and said with a smile: "Don't worry, little friend, as long as you nod your head, I will make it for you."

    Chen Wanrong's interest greatly increased and he hurriedly asked for advice: "Master Ye, please elaborate."

    "I don't need manpower, and I don't need the power of animals!" Ye Tianheng's crutch kept moving on the ground and said: "It is not difficult to solve this problem at all. I have two methods. These two methods must be used together.  Just use it.¡±

    "Brother Ye, tell me quickly!" Kou Yibing urged.

    This is exactly what everyone wanted to say, but Ye Tianheng couldn't help stroking his beard, smiling, but didn't say anything.  He was so secretive that Chen Wanrong couldn't wait to take the answer out of his mouth.  (To be continued.
