Chapter 124 Improved Technology

"We can put gears and a propeller on the waterwheel and control the speed at which the waterwheel spins."

"And this is when we have to rely on everyone's cooperation."

"Sir, please give me your instructions."

"I need to build a fence around the waterwheel to ensure it isn't damaged while it's in operation. As for the purpose of the waterwheel..."

Zhao Feng paused here and looked around.

Mr. Zhuge also looked around, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind: "This way we can build a river and then bring the river into the town."

"Yes, that's exactly the truth."

Zhao Feng patted Mr. Zhuge on the shoulder, and both of them showed excitement on their faces.

"Rumble..."

Suddenly at this moment the blast furnace collapsed, scaring everyone present and making them step back.

"How could this happen? I've clearly strengthened and stabilized it."

Mr. Zhuge was shocked by the scene in front of him, and he looked at Xu Feng with a pleading look.

"Mr. Zhuge, how do you stabilize the blast furnace?"

Xu Feng frowned slightly when he saw this. Fortunately, he came to inspect. If he wanted to recruit people in the future, he would probably be held accountable.

"Last time I told you that the bearings in the waterwheel had a short lifespan, so you told me to build a tripod in the middle. I applied the same principle to the blast furnace."

Looking at the scene before him, Mr. Zhuge was puzzled.

Why doesn't the same principle work? Is there something wrong somewhere?

"Captain Xu, if there are serious safety issues with the blast furnace, we absolutely dare not use it."

"The heat generated by the high temperature already poses a risk of burns, and now there's also the risk of collapse. I can't imagine it."

The wealthy gentry present were discussing the plan. The plan that they had originally considered promising had already been greatly discounted.

"Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation."

Xu Feng looked carefully at the scene in front of him, frowned slightly, and fell into deep thought.

"That's all for today. I'll give you an answer in three days."

Seeing that Xu Feng had spoken, everyone naturally didn't say anything more, so they turned around and said goodbye and left.

"Master Xu, what should we do next? If we can't completely resolve these problems, I'm afraid we'll have to find another solution."

Mr. Zhuge sighed slightly and shook his head gently.

"How can building a blast furnace be so difficult? Now give me all the drawings, and I'll take a look to see if there's something wrong with the design from the beginning."

After thinking for a moment, Xu Feng decided to find out the problem at its source.

After getting the drawings, Xu Feng and Mr. Zhuge began to improve the plan overnight.

After some comparison, Xu Feng found that the problem lay with the raw materials.

"We should wash it manually first and then refine the steel."

Xu Feng spoke lightly, then immediately grabbed a piece of paper and unfolded the new design.

He overlooked a serious problem at the beginning.

After all, he traveled to ancient times, and the productivity and production equipment in ancient times were completely different from those in modern times.

Ancient steel was relatively brittle and had very poor bearing capacity.

After figuring out these reasons, Xu Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Zhuge, please tell everyone to come here at noon tomorrow. I will rebuild the blast furnace myself in front of everyone."

"Master Xu, will this work? Do we need to come up with a second plan?"

Mr. Zhuge was still slightly worried about this.

Xu Feng placed the newly designed drawings in front of Mr. Zhuge and said, "We will wash the steel before making it, and then temper it after it is formed. This way, the quality will be greatly improved."

With the support of new theoretical basis, Xu Feng is naturally full of confidence in tomorrow's new technology.

That night Xu Feng and Mr. Zhuge drank and talked happily.

"Master Xu, you are the person I admire most. I really don't know where all these ideas of yours come from."

Mr. Zhuge looked at Xu Feng with a smile on his face. "No wonder after you left, the Saint of our Demon Cult has been thinking about you and has been hoping that you could join us. If we have your support, won't we worry about not being able to rise to prominence in the future?"

Speaking of the Demon Cult, Xu Feng suddenly thought of Qi Huanhuan.

"Fortunately, we listened to you last time and kept a low profile. The court's later reckoning did not affect our sect."

Having said that, Mr. Zhuge was once again filled with gratitude towards Xu Feng.

"Mr. Zhuge, you are too kind. I am just trying my best to help a friend."

In fact, ever since he visited the Demon Cult with Qi Huanhuan last time and got to know Mr. Zhuge and others, Xu Feng's concept of the Demon Cult has changed greatly.

"Everyone says we are a sect that practices unorthodox methods. Only you, Lord Xu, are willing to make friends with us."

Mr. Zhuge suddenly remembered the waterwheel and continued, "Your Excellency, as an official appointed by the court, you are different from others. Since you took office, you have always been committed to benefiting the people. This alone is something that many people in the court cannot compare to."

Xu Feng just smiled and nodded without saying much.

It was already late that night, and Xu Feng arranged for Mr. Zhuge to stay in his mansion.

Recalling the conversation he had just had with Mr. Zhuge, Xu Feng lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

In fact, he did have many ideas and thoughts about Linhai County. Since he came here as an official, it was natural for him to benefit the people here.

"If officials don't serve the people, they might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes."

But after all, this place is located in a remote area, so it is naturally a bit difficult to promote it.

Fortunately, Mr. Zhuge is willing to come and help, so many problems can be solved easily.

Of course, Xu Feng hoped that these good ideas could be adopted by local officials and gentry.

If we can lead this group of people to develop outward, it will definitely drive the surrounding people.

The next morning, Mr. Zhuge arrived here on time with several disciples of the Demon Sect, and Xu Feng was already waiting there.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Zhuge."

"This is my job."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and then Mr. Zhuge directed everyone to get back to work.

Under Mr. Zhuge's instructions, everyone assembled the various instruments step by step according to the drawings drawn by Xu Feng.

Everything is in order.

Mr. Zhuge was exhausted after a busy day.

Finally, in the evening, the prototype of the blast furnace gradually emerged.

Mr. Zhuge sat aside drinking tea, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes.

"Mr. Zhuge."
