Under the hand of Chen Xu, the protagonist drew up blueprints for two things: a dragon bone waterwheel and mountain water diversion.
Waterwheels were not something rare in the Great Li Dynasty.
However, the waterwheels of this era were small cylindrical wheels, capable only of drawing water from high points during periods of abundance.
To draw water with a waterwheel at low water levels was simply impossible.
Yet in Chen Xu's story, the protagonist had somehow developed a completely new dragon bone-shaped waterwheel.
The main body of the waterwheel was composed of elongated wooden chains, with one end tilted downwards into low-level river water and the other elevated next to high-lying fields.
Using the rolling energy of two gears, it propelled the lower chain and scraper, allowing the low-level river water to flow upwards against gravity.
To say nothing else, just this upward flow could truly be called a miracle!
But storybooks often exaggerate and resort to cleverness.
