It was hard to refuse the affection at noon. Guo Shao drank some wine at Chen Jiali's mansion and was helped to take a nap in the wing room for a short nap.

After a while, Guo Shao suddenly woke up in shock.

When I opened my eyes, I saw Chen Jiali looking at her with love on her face. Guo Shao let out a long sigh, his chest was pounding, and he felt sweaty and his mouth was dry. When he turned around, he looked at the charcoal fire in front of the bed was burning too strong.

Am I talking in my sleep?Guo Shao said in a daze.

Chen Jiali said quietly: I heard General Guo say 'Don't kill me' or 'Don't kill me'. Have you been hunted for a nightmare?

It was a nightmare.Guo Shao reached out to wipe his sweat, thinking about it, but he was not being chased.

Chen Jiali said curiously: What kind of nightmare did you scare you like this.

Guo Shao glanced at her and murmured, "I can't remember what's ahead. Maybe when I was about to be executed when I was at the end of my life, my opponent put a gun, crossbow and other things into my mouth, and then I waited for death. Maybe because it was useless to struggle, I couldn't move all over.I was very scared and felt that the last moment might be very painful... I thought to myself, I endured it for a moment and it would be over immediately.After the end, I didn't know the pain was in trouble.

He may die at any time, but he will not know when it will come.But that man didn't shoot for a long time. Every blink of an eye seemed like a year, and I felt it was very long. At that time, I thought about it and hoped that the other party would be quick.Finally I heard the sound... with fear, it didn't seem to hurt very much, as if I was bitten by a mosquito, and then I gradually lost consciousness...

Guo Shao let out a long sigh: Then he woke up and found that it was just a dream... It was really good.

Chen Jiali said quietly: I didn’t expect that a person like General Guo would have such a terrible dream.

Guo Shao said: Maybe it is the sequelae of what I did before... I have seen too many bloody murders.Fortunately, it was just a dream, and no one could easily force me to the end of the road!

Chen Jiali comforted her softly, as if she was coaxing a child.

Guo Shao gradually calmed down and felt much better. He suddenly thought of someone he had almost forgotten: Mrs. Chen's concubine who survived by persecution, please treat her better.I suddenly felt how terrible it was to be tyrannically threatened by life. She must have lived in nightmare often.

General Guo is really a kind person.Chen Jiali said softly, "You have a rest, I will be with you, don't be afraid."

Guo Shao turned over and got up: I have to go to the workshop in the outer city to see how they built it... By the way, I haven't thanked Mrs. Chen for going out to invest and helping me with the stuff.

There is a small matter, don’t worry about it.Chen Jiali said generously.

Guo Shao designed a plan a month ago, but the yard at home cannot meet the venue, and it seems that it is not very good to make it in the inner city.

So he asked Chen Jiali for help. There was a relatively remote place in the southwest of the outer city that happened to be a yard as a warehouse. Guo Shao asked her to do a workshop for experiments.

So he hurriedly got up and dressed and set off, and Chen Jiali followed him to the outer city.

...It's just a very ordinary yard, and you can hear the tinging and banging sound at the door.

When Guo Shao and others entered, they saw Huang blacksmith personally hammering and making things, and the craftsman leader Luo Jiye and others came to pay their respects when they saw Guo Shao.

Guo Shao said: No need to be polite, you are busy with your own affairs.

Several people saluted the woman next to her with a hat, most of whom they didn't know.

Although the place belongs to Chen Jiali, the current personnel are not hers. The craftsman leader Luo Jiye was found by the Military Equipment Supervisor Afang Office, one of the five supervisors of the court, and the craftsmen were also transferred by the government.

The houses in the yard have been ripped off to the point. In a hall, a huge millstone occupies most of the room.

Guo Shao took Chen Jiali to look around and saw some people holding files and whetstones on the edge of the grinder.

Rush... swish... noise is endless.

The middle of this grinder is made of thick wood, and the bearings are cast iron and polished smoothly.

The edges are also cast iron, and they are nailed to the wood with rivets; the edges have iron teeth... They look like big gears.

There is also a millstone with similar shape in the corner of the wall, but it is much smaller than the main millstone in the middle.

The transmission belt is made of wood-inted iron sheets between the two mills, which is like connecting large and small water trucks, but the transmission belt is made of more solid in the iron sheets for load-bearing.

Guo Shao pointed to the two millstones and turned back to Chen Jiali and said: It's like a waterwheel. It is pulled by a mule and horse in the cellar under the big wheel. It rotates slowly and saves labor. The small wheels there rotate faster and bear more weight.

Chen Jiali whispered: General Guo can use water trucks, and he can save mules and horses.

Guo Shao said: First test whether this thing can be used, and then use hydraulic power to improve power.

There is a bent cast iron rod on the edge of the small millstone with a chain locked on it.

But when the millstone rotates, the chain will be pulled... The iron rod will be turned to the other side of the wall, and the chain will be put out; when the chain will be turned to the opposite direction, the chain will be pulled over.

The chain leads to the house next door through holes made in the wall.

Guo Shao took Chen Jiali to the next door, pointed to the hole in the wall and said: That and the chain are the things tied to the wheel just now.

This thing was designed by Guo Shao himself. He didn't need to look at pictures and was familiar with the operation. However, Chen Jiali looked at it curiously.

...After the chain leads to this room, it is placed on a fixed pulley and changes the direction to up and down movement.

When the wheel rotates, the other end of the next door of the chain will be far and near, and it will pull one end of this side to move up and down repeatedly.

A cast iron structure hung on the head of the chain, and Guo Shao named it the chain head.

The chain head is stuck in an upright cast iron groove to prevent shaking left and right, and this structure looks like a gate.

The chain head is hung on a forging hammer weighing more than a thousand pounds below (a heavy cast iron lump).

The principle so far is very simple: the chain moves up and down, and pulls the forging hammer moves up and down to achieve the purpose of forging.

But this is not possible... The chain can be relatively slow when pulled up; when putting it down, it will also be connected to the chain and synchronized with the rotation speed of the wheel. Slowly putting it down cannot forge things.

...Guo Shao was also troubled by this problem at the beginning, but now at least the problem has been solved in terms of design.

When the forging hammer rises to the highest point, it needs to break away from the transmission structure and fall rapidly with gravity; then when it rises, it is connected to the chain transmission structure, so that it can be pulled up with the help of power.

(He initially designed it manually. After the forging hammer falls, he uses a person to connect it; after the forging hammer rises, he uses a person to release it, and then put it down... Later, he imagined that doing so would make the forging hammer very slow. After a few hammers, the burned iron will cool down and have to be burned again. It is inefficient and has no practical value.

So he redesigned a closure device, which he called semi-automatic closure.

The connecting part between the chain head and the forging hammer is an L-shaped forged iron piece.

When L is in its original state, it can hook the forging hammer; when it is pulled to the side, the hook on the forging hammer will slide down from the incline of L to achieve the purpose of letting the forging hammer fall freely.

The things that control the opening and closing device are also used to rotate and pull the L-connecting component as the wheels next door rotate.When the forging hammer is near the apex position, the L component will be pulled and deflected by the chain, and the forging hammer will be placed... At this time, the hand next to it will shake another pulley and pull the L component again; after the chain falls, it will be connected to the forging hammer again.)

……

The entire mechanical device is very simple, but all the officers are purely handmade. They have not been completed in a month and are now close to completion.

The charcoal fire in the room was very strong, the bellows were whistling, and the blacksmiths were beating.

While standing in front of Guo Shao, he seemed to be in a relatively backward modern factory, or in a large blacksmith shop.
