Chapter 61: Whimsical Ideas
"That's right, just let the water flow on its own. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Mo Qian's eyes flashed, and he continued: "If we want to dig a canal, neither time nor material resources can support it.
But just like the light skills practiced by people in the rivers and lakes, it only takes a light touch to be able to cross the forest and mountains, and see the ravines as nothing, with the help of the power of plants and trees.
By analogy, if we give water a backing, can water also have the same effect as light work? ”
"Give water a backing? Let water also have light work? Everyone listened to it for a while, this water is a natural thing, ruthless and desireless, and it can't think for itself, how can it be light?
Unless it is the heavenly gods who have appeared.
"What do you mean...... We beg for rain? Village Chief Tang asked cautiously, for he really couldn't think of anything that could transform water out of thin air.
Who would have thought that Mo Qian would listen to it, roll his eyes, and tell you about it for so long with me, you treat me as a god!
"No, what the official means is that you can use water trucks to transport water, and when that big river goes down, it will have a great impact, if we can build a few large water wheels on the big river, send water up the cliff, and then directly cross the cliff, transport the water to Sheung Shui Village, and connect to the original river, wouldn't it be able to solve the water you need?"
Village Chief Tang and everyone were dumbfounded, if the prayer for rain that Village Chief Tang guessed just now was ridiculous, then Mo Qian's idea was simply whimsical.
After all, in ancient times, there was no doubt about the gods, and the emperor claimed to be the son of heaven, that is, the son of heaven, respecting the ancestors of heaven and law, if there was a natural disaster in any place, the emperor would also issue an edict, which shows how much influence such a belief has in the minds of the people.
Whenever there is a drought in various places, the local governor will open an altar to pray for rain and pray for good weather.
But Mo Qian's idea was so surprising that he had to cross the ridge to carry water, such a spirit of looking down on nature, it made people feel tightness in their chests when they thought about it.
After a long time, everyone stammered: "Make a water wheel? Do you want to cross two mountains and bring water? This...... How is this possible? ”
Still in an unbelievable tone.
"If you think about it, is this really impossible?" Mo Qian chuckled and swept over everyone present with a confident look.
As a college student who has crossed over in modern times, Mo Qian is standing on the shoulders of giants to see the world.
Others may have never seen what a waterwheel that can transport water up a mountain ridge looks like, and of course Mo Qian doesn't know, but Mo Qian has the ability to apply modern physics knowledge to ancient objects.
The water falls from a high place, and the huge drop converts the potential energy of the water into powerful kinetic energy, and if you install several large waterwheels on the cliff below the river at this time, you will definitely be able to transport the water over the cliff in layers, so when the water is transported over the cliff, all this is no longer a problem.
Everyone was stunned again, is this really impossible? Maybe it's possible?
Soon the crowd shook their heads again, the question was beyond their comprehension, because their ancestors had only taught them how to dig grain from the yellow earth.
In their impression, the waterwheel is just a small object that sways slowly, and it is good to say that they usually take water to irrigate the farmland, but they have never heard of the waterwheel and this power.
But if you think about it, what is impossible? What is the size of the waterwheel? How do you place a waterwheel on a cliff?
…… Their minds were a little confused.
Just as they pondered. Mo Qian had already said: "I went to check last night, the flow of that big river is very large, and the height difference is about forty zhang, and the impact is also very large, we need to place a large waterwheel on the river to lift the water to the high cliffs.
The cliff was only 20 feet, which was not too high, and we only had to dig two or three layers of waterwheel bases on the cliff to settle it, and a few waterwheels were placed on the pedestals of each layer to ensure sufficient water power. So that we can lift the water from the great river to the ridge one by one.
Although there is not a lot of water that can reach the mountain, the good thing is that it is continuous, so you don't have to worry about the problem of breaking the flow.
After crossing, the mountain level towards Shangshui Village is lowered, and then we dig a ditch along the mountain road to let the water flow down the ditch and connect to the original river channel, so that the water problem of both villages can be solved. ”
Mo Qian didn't notice that everyone's mouths were getting bigger and bigger, and he said the words he had prepared freely.
After saying that, he licked his dry lips and said to the little official next to him, "Pour me a glass of water." ”
"Oh...... Oh! The little servant blinked, came back to his senses after a while, and hurriedly poured Mo Qian a glass of water and handed it over.
The others also slowly came back to their senses, Wang Yan had been in the officialdom for so long, and his mind was also extremely active, so he was the first to react, nodded and said, "My lord, this method is feasible." ”
Seeing that some people agreed, the village chief Tang was slightly relieved, and Wang Yan drew inferences from each other and said: "This project looks huge, but it may not be so difficult to operate in practice, because the mountain is originally inclined towards Shangshui Village, so our main thing is to install a waterwheel, and then dig a ditch along the mountain road, which can be completed quickly and in many days." As for the people who do these things, I wonder if they still have to recruit from the county? ”
"No need, if you recruit from the county, you will have to pay wages, this cost is not small, I don't know what do you think of Village Chief Tang?" Mo Qian said.
Village Chief Tang hurriedly said: "No, no, the people of our village can definitely complete it, who else can you invite!" As for the water village, I will go back and discuss with their village chief, but I think they will agree, there is no water during this time, and all the idle energy is used to grab water, so who will we not go on? ”
"Hmm." Mo Qian nodded: "Then our main expenditure is the construction cost of the waterwheel, and I will ask people to allocate these funds to you when I go back." ”
Mo Qian talked about money without blinking, after the last martial arts incident.
Ningyuan County has made a lot of money, and now although no one is competing for any martial arts cheats, there are a large number of people who have fallen in love with Ningyuan's first-class immortals, and everyone from afar has to come over to taste it.
And the ring of the competition is not over yet, and the heroes and heroes of Jian'an Mansion know that there is such a martial arts resort in Ningyuan County, and they have rushed over to show their skills.
This has also led to the development of surrounding industries, for example, there was no decent restaurant in Ningyuan County before, but under the stimulation of demand, the construction of the city is in full swing, and buildings have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. And under Mo Qian's strong request, the first Qinglou also appeared.
An originally backward county has a faint tendency to surpass a superior county.
Especially the county ya, people who know a little about the situation know that all this is led by Mo Qian, so when Ningyuan County develops, the county government will naturally be no worse.
It can be said that the current Ningyuan County Ya is no longer the pitiful state that was left with only a shelf left in the past.
That's why there is a scene of Mo Qian's heroic and dry clouds.
Mo Qian's words were heard in the ears of Village Chief Tang, and he could be described as grateful.
Unexpectedly, the prefectural magistrate not only came to the village in person to solve the water problem, but also covered the cost of building a waterwheel, which was much better than the previous prefectural ordinance.
