After looking at the dam that blends in with the rocks, I took a look around.
"Boss! This is what it will look like after it is finished, do you think it needs to be improved? Chen Ming asked.
"No need, that's it, there's no need to get it again." Yun Yi said after looking at it.
"Then let's go to the aqueduct!" Chen Mingti said.
"Alright! Go see the aqueduct!" Yunyi said.
Then the two of them got on the battery car again and walked down the excavated stream to the mountain.
When I came to the foot of the mountain, the car couldn't drive in, so I could only walk on foot when I got here, and I took the two dogs Yunyi and Chen Ming to follow the mountain.
The quality of the entire aqueduct is not bad, the width is about one meter, it is all built with stones, and the stones have been treated, it looks like it was born, there is a thick moss on it, and there is no trace of man-made traces at all as it winds along the direction of the mountain.
With the aqueduct, the two traveled all the way, and in the places where Yunyi had seen several ponds before, the aqueduct also opened an opening for diversion.
During this time, the weather has been sunny, and the water in this pond is missing a large part, the last time Yunyi entered the mountain, the water in the pond was still full, I didn't expect this steaming volume to be so large, of course, this is not entirely caused by steaming, it is possible that there is a leak in this pond, and there is drinking water for animals in the mountains.
In fact, people who live around the mountains know that such ponds usually last for three to five months, and when the real dry season comes, the bottom of these ponds will crack in the sun, and the animals in the mountains will migrate to places where there is water.
After the aqueduct is opened this time, these ponds will not dry up in the future, and will become perennial reservoirs. The animals that live in the surrounding area do not need to migrate, and there may be more and more.
This time into the mountain compared to the previous time Yun Yi came alone, the road is much easier, the distance is much shorter, Yun Yi and Chen Ming took more than two hours to come to the "Plateau Lake" here.
Last time, Yun Yi didn't really walk in front of the plateau lake, but only went back after appearing on the top of the mountain; Standing on the shore of the plateau lake at this time, Yun Yi was shocked by the vast plateau lake.
He used to go to see the sea when he was working in S City. The spectacular appearance of the turbulent waves one after another, Yunyi is still fresh in his memory! However, the plateau lake in front of you is a different scene, the tide is very small and not big, but the quiet appearance is more reminiscent of the people living in these 100,000 mountains.
They are all unpretentious and unpretentious in their words. But it has the tenacity of a mountain and an admirable mind.
Foraging waterfowl fly around the lake, plunging headlong into the water at every opportunity, and when they fly out of the lake again, they will have a fish in their mouths.
Some waterfowl Yunyi don't know, but the two rock eagles flying from a distance with wings of sixty or seventy centimeters still know Yunyi, the rock eagle is just the name here in Hegu Village, in fact, this is a unique kind of eagle on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. The scientific name should be the crested eagle.
They mostly live in primeval jungles near swamps, rivers or lakes, and feed on small animals such as frogs, small birds, gulls, crows, rodents and rabbits, as well as fish.
I saw two rock eagles falling towards the surface of the lake, probing their sharp claws into the water with great speed, and flying away without stopping, and now they had caught a fat big fish in their claws.
Looking at the two rock eagles in the distance, Yun Yi couldn't help but think that it was time to be small. Uncle Wang, the old hunter in the village, once raised such a one.
At that time, every time a group of children saw the rock eagle catch back the rabbit and pheasant for Uncle Wang, the children were all envious, and they also clamored for their adults to catch a rock eagle for themselves; Several children were spanked by adults for this!
Yun Yi and Wang Tao, Li Mu, Yao Kai and the four of them also quietly stole the fishing nets of Uncle Li's house and prepared to go to the mountains to catch rock eagles, and finally the old man appeared, and the four little guys were repaired by the old man.
It's just that after Uncle Wang died, the rock eagle he raised didn't know where to go. I guess I flew back into the mountains!
Looking at the flying rock eagle, Yun Yi's mind suddenly crossed the idea of catching one and raising it himself, but this thing is not something that can be caught if you want to; They generally build their nests on cliffs, and the places they choose are difficult to access.
This idea was just a whim for Yun Yi. Then he was thrown aside; If you really want to catch it, it is easy to do it with the ability of Chen Ming's talents, but now that I have grown up, I have lost the innocence of that time.
Retracting his gaze, Yun Yi returned to the mouth connecting the outlet and the aqueduct of the Plateau Lake, which is an outlet of the Plateau Lake, and the direction of the outlet is the west side of the mountain, where is the deeper part of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, and Yun Yi does not know where it will flow.
The opening to connect the aqueduct was also opened here, and Yunyi didn't know what it looked like before, but now this place has been built by Chen Ming and them, a retaining dam like a diversion dam.
This large stone dam is only about four meters long and two meters wide, but the height is only 50 centimeters. Like a fish lying in the water, the water flows down from the outlet of the highland lake and flows here, and after being blocked by this small embankment, it flows into the mouth of the aqueduct next to it.
The entrance of the aqueduct is made of a large sluice gate, and if you lift the slab, the water can flow down with the aqueduct, and when the slate gate is closed, the water will turn over the water surface of the small embankment, flow into the former waterway, and flow into the mountains.
After watching Yunyi for a long time, I figured out the role of this small embankment, and it turned out that this was a miniature version of Dujiangyan!
"Boss! Can the gates be opened? Chen Ming, who was standing next to Yun Yi, saw that Yun Yi was no longer studying on the ground, so he asked.
"Open the floodgates and release the water! After a while we walked along the water, seeing if there were any problems along the way. Yunyi said.
After Yunyi's words were finished, Chen Ming picked up the large stone slabs on the mouth of the diversion canal with his bare hands, several hundred catties of stone slabs, and Chen Ming gently picked them up, and the water in the outlet of the plateau lake flowed down the diversion canal from the mouth connecting the diversion canal.
The opening connecting the outlet channel and the diversion canal of the plateau lake is very wide, about three or four meters, and when it shrinks to the slate gate, it becomes about one meter, and the depth of the mouth is not deep, that is, about sixty centimeters, which is Chen Ming specially built after calculating the amount of water.
In addition, a diversion channel has been built on the side, which is also to ensure that when the plateau lake is flooded in the future, the water entering the diversion canal will not increase, so as to ensure that the downstream artificial lake will not be threatened by flooding during the heavy rain season.
After the gate opened, Yun Yi and Chen Ming walked back, the water flow was very fast, if you looked down from the sky at this time, you could see a living silver dragon, winding forward in the mountains.
The floodgates opened, and Chen Ming measured the amount of water entering the aqueduct again, and after some calculations, the results were very encouraging.
"Boss! According to the estimation of the amount of water entering the canal, it will take six months to fill the entire artificial lake. Chen Ming said after calculating.
"Does that mean that in the course of six months, will you need to use a pump to pump water from the artificial lake to irrigate the land above?" Yunyi asked.
"Yes! For the time being, that's all there is to it; After six months, when the man-made lake is full, the water will flow into the irrigation ditches above the land on its own, and there will be no need to pump water. Chen Ming said.
"Okay! As soon as the irrigation problem is solved, we will be able to spare more manpower to cultivate more land and plant more wine grass in a larger area, so that our bioenergy refining program can be started very quickly. Yun Yi said with emotion.
When I returned to the clifftop lake, the water in the aqueduct had already flowed into the artificial lake one step ahead of others, and from the opposite side of the water, the water flowing down from the aqueduct was like a small waterfall into the water surface of the bottom of the lake, and the rumbling sound shook people's eardrums.
Looking at the water flowing into the lake, Yun Yi stared blankly for a long time, Chen Ming didn't know what his boss was thinking at this time, even Da Hei and Xiao Hei silently squatted at Yun Yi's feet and watched with Yun Yi.
