I am a child of Daqin Xiong, who supervises the country at the age of eight

Chapter 63 The water press is successfully made!
After retiring from the court, Ying Changsheng ignored these ministers.

He has something to be busy with now.

Now, he wants to see if the pressurized well he trial-manufactured has been completed!
Ten miles outside Xianyang City, Ying Changsheng is located at Yanjing at the foot of Baigu Mountain. At this moment, when the latter arrived, he saw that Gongshu Shangzao had arrived early, and even his sister Gongshu Banruo was waiting there , but saw that Gongshu Shangzao said to Chaoying Changsheng with a happy face.

"Young Master Nineteen, are you here?"

"Well, the cast pressure well itself, was the casting successful?"

After Ying Changsheng nodded, he jumped off the carriage, leaving Liu Bang behind him, then walked up quickly, and asked Gongshu Shangzao.

The latter answered quickly.

"Of course the casting was successful, and the piston we made with glue was also successful, and it's being assembled now!"

"Oh?"

Ying Changsheng's eyes lit up and his face looked happy, he said quickly.

"Then assemble it quickly, install the water pipe and the piston, install it on the well, and try to see if you can get water out!"

Ying Changsheng said.

The water press is a good thing.

If it can be successfully produced, it will be a good thing for the country and the people.

At this moment, Gongshu Shangzao on the side also knew this truth. After listening to Ying Changsheng's instructions, he quickly asked the craftsmen next to him to speed up. In a short time, the water press was successfully assembled, and then connected to the long On top of the five- to six-foot-long bamboo water pipe.

Then, I saw Gongshu Shangzao, personally going into battle, shaking the steel handle on the well water vessel for more than a dozen times, but only saw that there was no water pumped up from the well, which made Gongshu Shangzao couldn't help frowning, and then asked Ying Changsheng next to him.

"Young Master Nineteenth, why can't we get water? Could it be that there is something wrong with our production? Or is this idea not feasible?"

Gongshu made up a theory.

Ying Changsheng, on the other hand, burst out laughing. He remembered the steps he had to do when he used a water press at home when he was a child, and he couldn't help explaining to Gongshu Shangzao.

"This water press is not used like this!"

"That is?"

Gongshu Shangzao looked confused.

Is there anything else to say about this use?

Isn't it just moving the lever up and down?

Among them, what's the point?
Gongshu Shangzao was puzzled, but Ying Changsheng ordered someone to fetch a bucket of water.

The people under him didn't know why, they thought that Ying Changsheng wanted to drink water, so they hurriedly asked.

"Master Nineteen wants clean water. It's not easy to handle. This is a salt well. There is a lot of salt water. If the well water is used up, the water in the tank has been used up. Now we have to go to the stream a few miles away to fetch water. Come……"

"No no no, any kind of water is fine, as long as it's water, even dirty water is fine!"

Win the Tao of Longevity.

Hearing this, his subordinates were overjoyed, and after a while, they brought Ying Changsheng a bucket of brine from the salt well next to him, but only saw Ying Changsheng pour the salt water into the water press, and immediately, this Then he made a road towards Gongshu next to him.

"Try again and see if you can get water!"

"Okay, I'll give it a try!"

Gongshu Shangzao hurriedly said.

Then, try to press the lever on the water press.

All I saw was a scene that was far more shocking.

After seven or eight presses on the highway, a large amount of water appeared in the water press. Every time it was pressed, a large stream of salt water would gush out through the cast spout. It only took three or two presses. , the bucket under the water pressure device interface is filled with brine!
"It's amazing!"

The workers at the salt well beside them exclaimed in surprise.

This is really a god!
Simple lever principle, lightly pressing a few levers, the well water can be pumped up, and, judging from the efficiency, it is still quite high!

Gongshu Shangzao on the side was also shocked, he exclaimed.

"Isn't this too easy?"

"The lever of this water pressure device can be pressed and moved even by an ordinary child!"

"That's natural!"

Ying Changsheng couldn't help laughing.

"The principle of the lever is there, four or two to pull a thousand catties!"

"Young Master Nineteen is right!"

Gongshu nodded, then looked at the water press again and murmured.

"However, people will be tired after all. After thinking about it, I can get a cow and use it to design an animal power transmission structure, and use the cow to draw water..."

"In this way, water can be pumped in a steady stream. Moreover, the minister is thinking that the common people can also promote this thing. It is not too troublesome to make this thing. Moreover, with this thing, the common people drink water. It is also much more convenient, not only that, but when there is a drought, you can also use this trick to pump water from the ground to irrigate the farmland..."

"That's the truth!"

Ying Changsheng said that Gongshu Shangzao was probably attracted by the water press.

At this moment, I was playing there happily.

What a joy to play!
Seeing that the problem of fetching water had been solved, Ying Changsheng also began to order refined salt to be trial-produced!

The production of refined salt is nothing more than purification.

Quite simply, after Ying Changsheng taught it, several craftsmen immediately understood the truth of this.

One by one, they quickly began to use brine to extract the refined salt inside.

And while they're doing it.

Ying Changsheng, however, focused on the production methods they used.

Immediately, Ying Changsheng frowned.

"What, boiled salt? Why not sun-dried salt?"

"Sun salt?"

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then Chaoying Changsheng smiled wryly.

"Young Master Nineteenth, don't you know? It's a waste of time to dry the salt. It won't be finished for a while. Moreover, if you dry the salt, you have to level the land and build a reservoir. Our salt production includes Over there in Qi State, there is also a sea of ​​salt..."

"It's easy!"

Ying Changsheng laughed and said.

"The land for drying salt is very easy to handle. When the cement is produced, can't we just build a few salt drying fields here?"

Well, the biggest problem with drying salt in the current era is that.

Sun salt in the mud.

It's too difficult to handle.

Salt water is likely to infiltrate directly into the soil, resulting in soil salinization. The same amount of water cannot produce the same amount of salt.

Moreover, after drying salt in the mud, the finished product is obtained. The salt inside is also very dirty because it is stained with mud.

With the cement bottom, making the cement storage is different.

Salt water will not seep in.

It's just a little slower.

However, it’s okay to be slow!

Compared with boiling salt, the cost of sun salt is very low!
It doesn’t use fuel and doesn’t require too much manpower. The cost savings here are beyond what boiling salt can compare with!
