Chapter 24: Water Screw

Around 250 B.C. in Europe, Archimedes solved the problem of pumping water. He designed a very powerful water screw. That's why Robb was surprised that Archimedes became a devil specialist in this world and has been dead for many years. Robb estimated that Archimedes' water screws are already being used by many in this vast world, but this remote town doesn't know it yet.

For the time being, Robb wont explain what Archimedes water screw is. The Mason should first work with the blacksmith to install all the iron pipes, faucets, and other things. They'll have to connect the iron pipes by burning both ends of the iron pipe on the spot and connecting them. The place where the faucet connects with the iron pipe should also be heated and connected. We can only use this simple and rough way to seal pipes together in this era. Put short, three long pipes were directed down from the reservoir and connected to the chapel toilet, kitchen, and the fields in the yard.

Next, well have to wait till the reservoir is dry before we can put it to use.

Therefore, at this moment, Robb called the blacksmith, drew a picture of Archimedes' water screw on the ground with a branch, smiled, and said to the blacksmith, "When you head back, you have to forge this next. This time the iron pipe can be thicker, the iron sheet thinner, and bent into a spiral. This shouldn't be too difficult.

"Oh, there's nothing wrong with that." The blacksmith said, "I can do it."

He was so excited to find out that he could learn the techniques equal to a "Divine Craftsman" from Robb that his biceps stirred. It reached the point where he couldn't wait to make this bizarre object for him to see.

Two days later, the screw pump was complete. Although the blacksmith's skills weren't good and couldn't make it accurate enough with each spiral parallel, it's fine as long as it can pump water; its ugliness is irrelevant.

Two days wasn't enough time for the reservoir to dry, so Robb secretly used wind and fire magic at night to dry it up. He did this to match the timing of the blacksmith.

Hundreds of townspeople flocked to the chapel that morning, and even the mayor and his wife came to watch. In such a small town, people can easily come and watch whenever the chapel plans to do something. The townspeople all came to watch when they heard that the priest would show off his great skills today.

The small courtyard of the yard was full of people, with Robb and Lillian surrounded in the middle.

The townspeople pointed at the reservoir above, and people were murmuring in a quiet voice from time to time.

Robb doesnt have to listen to be able to guess what theyre talking about. Theyre probably wondering what this thing is for. Now, all thats required is a demonstration.

"Blacksmith put the screw in the well."

"Alright, Father!" The blacksmith and several townspeople who came to help carry the long Archimedes screw to the well and put one end of the screw into the deep well while the other end was on the edge of the reservoir. The long spiral iron barrel attracted all the townspeople to stretch their necks to watch.

Westwind town is a small town with "mining, agriculture, hunting, and herbalism" at its core. There are a lot of blacksmiths in this town, with more than a dozen blacksmiths standing in the crowd. They looked at the spiral iron barrel and thought, I can also build this thing. I just don't know what it is, but if it works, I'll make one.

The Mason leaned up and stirred the handle of the screw pump himself. Soon the whole screw began to rotate, and the curved spiral pipe kept pumping water out of the well, and soon the first drop of water was pumped into the reservoir.

"Woah! This is something that draws water from a lower surface to a higher surface."

Wow! This thing is awesome!

It is said that it is the invention of Archimedes, an ancient devil specialist.

Thats amazing!

I cant believe we can pump up water like this. Hey, if we put this thing by the river, wont we be able to pump water to irrigate the farmlands?

Yes, thats amazing. Lets make one for our family later.

For these simple townspeople, this kind of craft can genuinely be regarded as a "Divine Craft." They all couldn't help but sigh.

As the screw pump kept spinning, the water in the well was pumped up in large quantities, and soon the reservoir was filled with water; and the Mason who was in charge of operating the pump was not tired at all, and rotating the screw was much easier than he had imagined. He couldn't help shouting with ecstasy, "My father, this thing is great! I can't wait to see your next demonstration."

"Well, the reservoir is full, so let's move on to the next stage." Robb stood out with a holy smile on his face and stood in front of the faucet by the farmlands. He raised his hand high and said to the townspeople around him, "My children, next, what you will see is a truly great thing that can improve your life. I call it tap water."

"Tap water?" The townspeople whispered silently.

They saw Robb's hand softly twisting the faucet

Clatter!

Clearwater gushed out of the faucet.

The result was as expected. The Mason wasn't surprised. He was the first person in the town to comprehend the tap water system, but the other villagers looked confused and thought for dozens of seconds. Their eyes extended along with the faucet to the reservoir. They finally realized what they saw.

Robb said with a smile, "When you want to use water at home, just connect the pipe to where you want it to go. At any time, just gently twist the faucet top, and the iron pipes will send the water directly from the reservoir... Twist it in the opposite direction and look. The water stopped flowing."

After saying this, Robb found that the faucet was still dripping after it was twisted tightly. Ehh, there wasnt any rubber ring in it after all, so It was impossible for it not to leak. He hooked a wooden basin with his foot and put it under the faucet. And then continued to put on a brilliant and holy expression.

"Wow!"

"That's amazing."

"This This is great!"

"Praise the God of Light, praise our father, praise Archimedes, for giving us such a great craft!"

Robb can't help complaining again. I'm not jealous of you praising Archimedes, but what's with the order of your praises? Putting the God of Light in front and me in the second place, all in front of Archimedes. Doesnt Archimedes want merits? Hello?? Apologize to Archimedes for me!

While everyone was busy doing praises, Robb walked towards his stone stool, sat down, and instantly returned to a state of laziness, "Alright, I'm done doing the demonstration. You guys do what you have to do, don't throw boos here. I have passed the necessary information to you guys. You guys will just have to figure it out by yourselves."

The townspeople slowly dispersed. Then, the mayor grabbed the Mason and the blacksmith: "Hey, don't go, my family is going to install one of these things. Hurry to my house to help make one."

"The price..."

"We'll negotiate over the price."

TL: Hi guys, sorry for the rough translation. I'm sick today, so my mind's kinda muddled rn. Some words were also difficult to convert to English, so I hope you guys aren't too bothered...
