Time flies.
Since the earthquake, Chen Zhou's life has turned into a series of tasks on a schedule, all moving steadily forward.
The prototype of the water mill was completed on June 7th.
Chen Zhou prepared three designs for it.
The smallest one operates with foot power, has low efficiency, and is used for processing less grain. However, since it doesn't use water power, calling it a water mill seems inaccurate, and perhaps "foot mill" would be more appropriate.
The medium-sized one is a standard water mill, placed in the river to use water power to drive the blades, allowing for 24-hour continuous grain processing. The water power is relatively stable, making it the most practical of the three designs.
The largest and most complex is a wind-driven crushing tool, which is still in the blueprint stage.
In Chen Zhou's vision, this largest wind-powered mill would have an interface to connect to windmill power, much like a grain hulling machine.
