Chapter 636 Measurement
It’s just that Feng Yong felt that if Old Man Wei’s defeat was also included in Old Demon Zhuge’s calculations, it would be a little too doubtful about the character of the Han Prime Minister.
However, if the defeat had not paralyzed Hao Zhao, the subsequent actions of digging trenches and building fortifications may not have been implemented smoothly.
so…
Feng Yong glanced at Zhuge Liang secretly, feeling a little entangled in his heart. Which situation is the truth? Should I think of the Han Prime Minister in a brighter light, or in a darker way?
Feng Tibi was still swaying, but Jiang Wei dared to think more than he did, "Has the Prime Minister already been planning the battle with Hao Zhao?"
“The prime minister allowed Hao Zhao to escape easily, in fact, he wanted to make Hao Zhao believe that there was no way for the big man to catch up with him, so he stayed in the city with confidence.”
When Feng Yong heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Wei: "Hey, boy, you dare to imagine more than me."
According to this, maybe Zhuge Lao Yao did not take Guan Xing to Xiangwu immediately, but put him in Linwei and started making calculations? Just enough to hide one's own mobility.
When Zhuge Liang heard Jiang Wei's words, he smiled calmly and said, "Soldiers have no constant momentum, and water has no constant shape. How can there be any airtight plan in this world?"
“You can only constantly modify and adjust your strategy based on the actual situation at hand, and try to let the enemy make arrangements without being aware of it.”
Feng Yong listened attentively, but the Han Prime Minister did not say what he wanted to hear most: You haven't said whether those two battles are in your plan!
Feng Yongda was disappointed when Zhuge Liang stopped talking and did not continue.
He thought for a moment and asked again, "Prime Minister, I think that although the water in the Wei River is constantly decreasing, it will probably take half a month to wait for it to stop flowing. What if it rains within this half month?" manage?"
"This is exactly what I am worried about." Zhuge Liang looked up at the sky again. "Although it seems that the drought is likely to continue, but if there is a sudden rain and the Wei River rises, I am afraid that the drought will continue." Hao Zhao had a chance to escape."
As he spoke, he sighed again, "That's why I said, is there any secret plan in this world? It just depends on whether the chance is good or not. These days, I come here every day to look at the Weishui River, just to estimate when it will be possible. Cut off the traffic at the top in advance."
"If the water can be cut off one day in advance, there will be a day's chance. As long as the water is cut off for three to five days, the water in the wells in the city will begin to decrease."
“It’s just about when and where the Wei River should be cut off, and how wide and deep the ditch should be dug. This is also one of the geographical advantages, but it needs to be carefully estimated.”
When Feng Yong heard this, he thought for a while, walked to the water's edge, gestured, and turned around, "If the Prime Minister wants to know when to intercept the water, I have a way."
As soon as these words came out, not only Zhuge Liang, but also Jiang Wei also turned their attention.
“Prime Minister, instead of coming here every day to check and estimate from the shore, we might as well go directly into the water and measure the water flow. Measure today, measure again tomorrow, and compare the two phases.”
“Firstly, we can calculate when the Wei River will stop flowing. Secondly, we can find low-lying land based on the measured water volume and open channels to divert the water in advance.”
Hao Zhao in the city is not a fool. If he waits for the Wei River to dry up naturally, he will definitely make arrangements before the Wei River stops flowing, so it must be intercepted in advance.
“Measure the amount of water?”
As soon as these words came out, not to mention Jiang Wei, even Zhuge Liang felt a little incredible, "This water has no permanent shape, who can figure it out?"
Feng Tibi pointed at himself and said with a smile, "I can count!"
As long as you calculate the cross-sectional area of the river and then measure its flow rate, you can roughly calculate its flow rate.
Basic knowledge of geography.
It’s not a big river. It’s not easy to calculate the amount of water in the Wei River.
It’s not a century-old project, just give it a rough estimate and add some water... Well, cross this out, I’m used to it.
Hmm, just a rough result is enough, that is, a five-day project. As long as there are enough manpower, canals and diversion can be carried out casually.
If time permits, Feng Yong can even calculate the size of the depression needed to accommodate the total water volume for these five days.
But it’s not necessary. As long as the drought continues, the water flow will only get smaller and smaller. As long as it is certain that there will be no backflow within five days, the engineering team can be directly allowed to excavate without quality supervision. What should we be afraid of?
This time, not only did Jiang Wei open his mouth and look at Feng Yong blankly, but even the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty looked at him in horror and said in a voiceless voice, "You can do this too?"
“Understand a little bit.”
Senior intellectuals are always shaking their heads in triumph.
How can you, the illiterate people in feudal society, understand the power of our Scientology?
In this case, if the water volume can be calculated more accurately, the date for arranging the closure can be accurately determined.
Even if it is one day early, it is still an advantage. If it is only one day late and God suddenly rains, it will be like crying without tears.
“Forget it, isn’t it troublesome?” The pragmatic Prime Minister of Han Dynasty asked eagerly without dwelling on this issue too much.
“It’s not troublesome, as long as you find a gentle river section, you can calculate it in half a day.”
“Okay!” Zhuge Liang was overjoyed, “How many utensils are needed for human hands?”
“No, I just want a few accounting rooms in the engineering team.”
"Okay, okay!" Zhuge Liang's eyes burst out with light. He really didn't expect that Feng Yong had such an ability. He was surprised and happy, "This is to control the gods and predict impermanence!"
Just do it.
The river section that is convenient for measurement is easy to find, and the cross section is easy to measure. However, the flow rate is a bit troublesome because there is no stopwatch.
But it doesn't matter. If you don't have a stopwatch, just follow the timing method of this era, use a clepsydra to repeat the calculation multiple times, and then take the average.
Anyway, it’s just a matter of constantly sampling and repeating calculations in river sections that are convenient for measurement, so it’s not a big deal.
Jiang Wei was originally in the mood to see how Feng Yong calculated, but when he saw Feng Yong drawing something like ghost writing on the notebook, he was secretly frightened: I heard from the prime minister that Master Feng Langjun came out of the mountain. , it seems to be true.
Just looking at this symbol that is different from the worldly writing, either his sect has existed since ancient times, and this is a long-lost secret text.
Either it is a text developed over several generations, specially used to record the knowledge of the master, for fear of revealing this ghostly knowledge.
Feng Yong was halfway through the count, stood up again, and shouted to the people in the river, "Next section of the river."
Then he threw the notebook away, and while they were starting to measure again, the cat bent over and looked for something on the ground.
Jiang Wei walked over and asked softly, "What is General Feng looking for? Maybe Wei can help?"
“Oh, it’s nothing. It’s just a wild vegetable like this, do you see it? If General Jiang is free, you might as well help me look for it and pull out a few more.”
Feng Yong lowered his head and was carefully pulling weeds.
Jiang Wei wanted to get closer to Feng Yong, so he immediately went down, plucked the grass in his hand, and asked, "Isn't there something special about this grass?"
“It’s nothing special, it’s just that the weather is too hot and I want to eat some green vegetables. This can be used as a vegetable.”
Feng Yong answered seriously.
Jiang Wei paused his hand and said hesitantly, "General Feng, um, aren't we measuring the Wei River now?"
"That text should be able to memorize the process. Just ask him to list the data for me first, and then I will calculate the data."
Seeing a fat noodle plant, he was happy, he dug it out carefully and replied casually.
After Jiang Wei heard this, his hands trembled again, "How can a general teach this kind of knowledge to others so lightly?"
When Feng Yong heard this, he sighed and said depressedly, "It would be great if he could really learn it!"
When it comes to learning ability, Amei is the most satisfied with Feng Yong. According to her learning progress before leaving Yuesun, she should have completed half of high school content by herself.
But even if Amei were to do this, it would still be too much.
