Chapter 41 Explains Principles
"If you two put your hands on this small car and let the small one drive the big one, the big one will slow down. I call this a deceleration system. The advantage of the deceleration system is that it is more stable."

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry suddenly realized and nodded.

"So the advantage of the acceleration system is that it is very fast?"

Chen Yi looked at the Minister of the Ministry of Industry who was speaking, and nodded in agreement.

When Chen Yi said this, he frowned slightly and sighed.

"It's just that the acceleration system consumes a lot of machinery, and it takes a lot of effort. There are actually quite a few disadvantages, and there is only one advantage of being fast."

When the craftsman who had just started asking questions heard what Chen Yi said, a trace of doubt flashed across his face.

"But just because we thought it should be very easy, why is that?"

Chen Yi pointed to the pulley block next to him.

"Because of them, this thing is round, with a groove in the middle, which can pass through the rope, and use the rope to drive these things to run. I call them pulleys. There are two kinds of them. One is a moving pulley, which runs along with the rope. Follow along."

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry came over and watched carefully: "It's just using this thing to save energy, is it that simple?"

The craftsman next to him couldn't help but complain about the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.

"My lord, how easy is this? Look, although these things seem to be built by us one by one, but when they are combined together, we can't recognize them at all."

The craftsman next to him followed suit.

"Yes! These principles are simply amazing. I suddenly felt that, as if I had opened up a new way of thinking, these things should be applicable to other aspects."

Chen Yi nodded with a smile, and encouraged the craftsmen to say, "That's true. I hope that everyone can learn these things and apply them to other places to create more useful tools for our people."

The craftsmen were stunned when they heard what Chen Yi said.

The craftsman who asked the most questions asked hesitantly: "Chen Shilang, you trust us and can benefit the common people? Don't you think we are inferior?"

Chen Yi was a little dumb, and then he understood their thoughts.

Chen Yi thought about it seriously for a while, and then he opened his mouth to express his thoughts.

"Everyone, don't underestimate yourself. Although you don't pay much attention to craftsmen now, think about it. Just this one tool for digging wells can change the lives of the people of Longxi in the next few decades, or even hundreds of years. What reason do you have? Underestimate yourself?"

The artisans seemed to have something in their hearts, slowly recovering.

Chen Yi put on a serious expression and continued.

"I believe that you will invent more useful tools like this in the future. Although many people look down on you now, when one day they use the tools you invented, who would dare to look down on you."

Chen Yi looked at the craftsmen in front of him with excited expressions on their faces.

It's like a child who is praised by the teacher for the first time.

His face turned red and he felt embarrassed, but he couldn't suppress the smile that rose at the corner of his mouth.

Which man is not passionate?

The craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry have always been regarded as the lowest existence, not even a guard in the entire imperial court, or even inferior to those servants.

This era is the same as in ancient times. The status of scholars, farmers, businessmen, and craftsmen is very low.

Most of these craftsmen defected to the Ministry of Industry because they were unwilling to give up, their family-inherited craftsmanship, and wanting to stand out and have a good reputation.

Of course, there are many such people, but very few can enter the Ministry of Industry.

Therefore, the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry are the elite of the elite.

Otherwise, such a complex machine can be polished by hand, and ordinary people can't do it.

Now these functionaries actually heard Chen Yi and said to them.

I hope they can benefit the people and make more tools. How can this make the craftsmen not excited?
This is a kind of deep recognition and trust!
It is also the first official who has such expectations for them.

Suddenly, in their hearts, Chen Yi was directly promoted from a formidable mechanical expert to their confidant and life mentor, illuminating their way forward.

Many craftsmen swore in their hearts.

In the future, I must, like Chen Yi, create more tools that are easy to understand to save the people of Dawu Kingdom and share the pressure for the court.

Then they will see who dares to underestimate their craftsmen.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry was also in tears while listening, and couldn't help but secretly raised his sleeves, trying the tears from the corners of his eyes.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry is also full of enthusiasm at this time, indeed, although he is said to be the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, but in the entire court, who pays attention to himself?
No.

It was even said that whenever the Ministry of Industry wanted to save some money, it would be glared and surprised by everyone.

That look seems to be saying, what reason do you have for asking for money, do research, just kidding!Just hit the iron when you need it, and you don't need to take care of the rest.

It can be said that Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry has been living a rather aggrieved life. Now, he can finally straighten his back.

From now on, I will speak uprightly above the court and say that their Ministry of Industry is very useful and can change the living conditions of the people. Who else can?
Chen Yi smiled and looked at these lovely people.

They have dedicated their lives to technology, they are pure and unpretentious, and there is not so much intrigue.

Chen Yi suddenly discovered that there is something cute about the court of the Great Wu Kingdom.

Chen Yi stood where he was, waiting for the craftsmen to calm down slowly.

Then he laughed and joked, "Shouldn't our masters of technology be moving? We need many of these machines, and the people of Longxi are still waiting for us."

"Yes, yes, quick, move."

"This time I know how important what we polish is, and this time I will strive to be perfect."

"I didn't expect it to be so powerful! Although it wasn't designed by us, it is also due to us. I have never felt that as a craftsman, I was so happy."

"Stop it, I feel like I'm going to cry."

"Don't! Go to work, go!"

Chen Yi smiled and looked at the craftsmen in twos and threes, chatting and teasing each other while laughing.

A sincere smile appeared on his face.

Afterwards, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry walked over to him, his face frowning, shaking his head and sighing.

Chen Yi looked at the Minister of the Ministry of Industry with a little surprise, wondering what happened to the Minister of the Ministry of Industry?
The happiest and most moved person who obviously smiled just now was the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, what happened now?
It may be that Chen Yi's eyes were too suspicious, and his eyes were too hot.
