Because the molten glass is conductive, but it has resistance, it will continue to heat up after being electrified, so it can continue to heat the molten glass to 1,200 degrees in a closed melting furnace!

Of course, it can theoretically reach temperatures of 1,500 degrees, and in this new world, the furnace should probably be the hottest man-made device in this new world, except for the erupting crater.

And because it directly uses the molten glass in the kiln as a heating resistor, it will not consume the precious silicon carbide electrode, as for the molybdenum disilicide electrode, which was very common in the old world, then don't think about it at all, Anna did not provide it at all.

Because Anna thinks that it is really unknown whether they can make this electrode on their own.

Anna thinks that since it is "something that is not sustainable", it should not be used by them.

Of course, it turned out later that Anna was finally wrong, he underestimated the ability of this group of people, in fact, whether it was silicon carbide or silicon molybdenum rods, after a few years, this group of science and engineering men actually came out, although the purity and performance did not reach the level of the old world, but it can still be used, of course, this is a later story.

In any case, the current furnace can be said to be the hottest man-made furnace in the world today, with such a temperature, the production of glass in terms of purity, transparency, and other quality indicators, will be far ahead of the world, the travelers will make full use of this golden finger to open the door to a new world.

After the hot melt furnace is set up in place, it is followed by electric cabinets, flat rollers and bottle making machines, etc., and the installation of these equipment is nothing except for some complex brain-burning.

The advantage of the miniature equipment is that it is easy to study, install and copy, but even so, by the time the men of science and engineering, who have little theory and little practice, put the last piece of equipment in the glass factory ---- the single-rocker bottle making machine in place, it was already May 10.

In the past few days, the relocation of the Sydney Island Ranch was finally completed, so all the freed up labor was allocated to Kangda and Wang Zhanwu, so that the construction progress there began to speed up.

By May 6, the hydropower team led by Kangda Wang Zhanwu had completed the erection of grid-connected transmission lines for three micro-power stations, and then put into the material preparation for the Moon River dam construction site.

In addition to cement caissons, the interception of the Moon River also requires a large amount of earth and rock, and it must be piled up near the interception point in advance to quickly block the waterway.

So during this time, the dam construction team began to dig earth and stone under the command of King Kang.

Fortunately, with the help of bulldozers, loaders and other construction machinery, the project went smoothly, and by May 10, mounds of earth mixed with large and small stones had been piled up on the east and west banks of the Moon River near the interception point.

On the same day, the dam construction team noticed that the water level of the Moon River had begun to drop from the previous day, and the third dry season had finally arrived as scheduled.

This means that the long-discussed interception project is about to begin, and it is a big test of ability for this group of newcomers from the old world!

The Supreme Executive Council then announced that all the staff had temporarily canceled their rest days, that people were working overtime at the glass factory and the hydroelectric power station, and that on 15 May, the construction of the glass factory and the installation of equipment were completed, and the final finishing touches were completed.

On 16 May, the three of them decided to start the decisive project in the construction of the Moon River Hydropower Station on the morning of the next day: the interception of the main channel of the Moon River.

According to the engineering arrangement of the three commands of Kanghou Wang, at 8 o'clock in the morning of 17 May, the last section of the 15-meter isolation area between the diversion canal and the river embankment on the west bank began to be excavated, and six excavators worked in three teams in turns.

At 10 a.m. on May 18, after the excavator had dug the last few shovels, the river finally slowly poured into the diversion canal across the embankment.

At this time, a group of people had already rowed a bamboo raft to the west bank, and the six excavators could not be isolated there for a long time, and needed to take people and vehicles back to the east bank one by one.

At this time, the water level of the Moon River is already quite low, and the volume of water has dropped by half compared to the rainy season, so there is no spectacular situation of turbulent torrents pouring into the diversion canal.

The weak earthen dam between the diversion canal and the embankment was gradually eroded by the river, and it was only two hours later that it was completely washed away.

At this point, it was finally evident that the water level in the lower reaches of the Moon River began to drop dramatically.

Especially on the relatively high east bank, as the water inflow of the diversion canal increases, the original wide river channel becomes more open.

In the end, the Hexi generator sets that supplied the Red Mansion stopped running, but this did not affect the power supply to the Red Building, because the power transmission lines of the Red Mansion were already connected to three other micro hydropower stations in advance, and it was no problem for Kang Wang and the two hydropower professionals to have this kind of professional foresight.

At this time, the water level on the riverbed of the Moon River has receded by a small half, and the silt at the bottom of many sections of the river has been exposed, and in some sections there is also a stone riverbed, which is a sign that the deep water area is beginning to break down, which indicates that the main river channel has begun to be diverted.

Sure enough, by noon, the main river had been significantly diverted to the west, resulting in the outcropping of the riverbed on the east bank.

Now, the water level of the river, which was originally 200 meters wide, has receded nearly 100 meters to the west.

Kangda and Wang Zhanwu looked at the main channel of the Moon River, which was diverted, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief---- which means that a large number of exploration activities in the early stage were not in vain, and the hydrological data are accurate.

At this time, the construction team led by Gu Jin and Li Sanduo, consisting of three bulldozers and three loaders, had completed the preparatory work, and had already concentrated on the high ground on the east and west banks of the Moon River on standby.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, with Kangda's order, the bulldozer loader team waiting on the east and west banks immediately moved, first three loaders worked side by side, and threw the cement caisson blocks that had been piled up on the bank in advance into the river. After a few exchanges, three bulldozers began to push the earth onto the cement blocks, and then the rollers began to compact the ground, and after an hour, a simple earthen dam was formed on the mud of the riverbed, which was 30 meters long, about 1 meter high and 10 meters wide.

On top of that, more earth was pushed up, and the dam gradually increased to three meters in height and twenty meters in width.

Because the entire construction work is basically done by construction machinery, people who do not drive construction machinery are near the river embankment on the east bank of the river to see their lives, and it is lively by the way.

Some of them will take over from the bulldozer and loader drivers in four hours.

Once the interception operation has begun---- it cannot be stopped until the earth dam extends to the east bank of the diversion canal and completely diverts the river water into the diversion channel.

This is a construction operation that must maintain continuity, when to complete the interception, when to finish, and the later it is closed, the more it is necessary to increase the construction efforts, so, in order to resist the erosion of the river to the earth dam, it must be 24 hours a day shift uninterrupted construction, must not stop halfway, otherwise it is very likely to be wasted.

At eight o'clock in the evening, two high-power searchlights were lit on the roof of the Red House on the east bank, which were temporarily removed from the Nicole, and the night construction began.

At this time, the earth dams on both sides of the bank are still slowly advancing to the opposite bank, and the forwards on both sides have penetrated more than 50 meters into the riverbed, where the dam is about 10 meters wide, and the water height of the earth dam is more than 1 meter.

At the starting point of the earthen dam on the shore, the earthen dam there has reached a width of 30 meters, and the height of the water has reached 3 meters.

At this time, if you stand on the roof of the Red Mansion and have a bird's-eye view of the entire construction site, you will see that there are two earthen dams on the riverbed, which are wide and narrow at the back and narrow at the front, like two arms extending from the bank, trying to close and stop on the main waterway of the Moon River.
