Chapter 53: Zheng Guoqucheng
"This ...... Your Majesty, what do firewood, old vinegar and sledgehammers have to do with stones? Those Qin people seemed to be listening to the Arabian Nights, their eyes widened, and their faces were in disbelief.
The stones blocked the way and could not be constructed, which had nothing to do with firewood, vinegar and sledgehammers, and it would be impossible for them not to be surprised.
"We'll find out when the time comes." Qin Yiren had no intention of explaining to them.
This kind of technical thing, that is, they may not be able to understand it even if they say it, so it is better not to say it. Not to mention the ancients of the Warring States period, even modern people will find it incredible.
Although the Qin people were puzzled, they still carried out the order to the letter, collecting firewood and he, making old vinegar, and many sledgehammers were also brought and piled up into a mountain.
"Your Majesty, what should I do?" The Qin people looked at Qin Yiren and waited for Qin Yiren to give an order.
"Spread the firewood on the stones, and spread a thick layer." Qin Yiren ordered again.
"Spread firewood? Do you want to burn it with firewood? Qin Ren was shocked.
"That's right, it's going to be burned." Qin Yiren explained to them.
"Burn stones, can this work?" Although Qin Yiren's prestige among the Qin people was very high, the Qin people also didn't believe it when they heard this.
This is still what Qin Yiren, who is supported by the Qin people, if it is a different person, he will definitely be scolded by the Qin people for being crazy.
The Qin people spread the firewood on the stone, a thick layer, and then retreated.
Qin Yiren gave an order, and the firewood was ignited, and for a while, the flames soared into the air, reflecting half of the sky.
"How's that, two? The widow is also a plumber, right? Qin Yiren scolded Zheng Guo and Li Bing.
"The king is really knowledgeable, and he even knows the art of water control. Admire, admire, admire. Zheng Guo and Li Bing laughed in unison. A compliment to Qin Yiren.
"Your Majesty. This requires the cooperation of the sharps, otherwise, it will hurt people. Li Bing reminded.
"Hmm." Qin Yiren nodded slightly, and said, "Just send a team of sharp soldiers to come and ask them to bring their shields." ”
As soon as the order was handed down, a team of Qin army soldiers was transferred, carrying shields, and obeying orders beside them.
The Qin people looked at the flames that were soaring into the sky. There was a lot of discussion, and I couldn't understand why it was burned with fire.
It wasn't until the fire subsided that Qin Yiren ordered the Qin army to step forward, stand on the edge of the ditch, and set up a shield to form a shield wall. Moreover, Qin Yiren ordered them to squat down and not show their heads, otherwise, be careful with their eyes.
And then. The Qin people carried the old vinegar to the back of the shield wall and quickly poured the old vinegar down. I saw a white expanse, sour and sour, which made people almost sick.
"Bang bang bang!" There was a crackling sound, and there was a splash of rubble everywhere, smashing against the shield with a terrifying sound.
"What a big move." The Qin people were amazed.
"Ouch! It hurts me! The Qin people, who had poured old vinegar, were curious, and did not hide behind the shield in time, and were hit by the rubble, letting out a miserable scream.
The Qin people kept pouring the old vinegar down, and the explosions came and went, like thunder. It wasn't until the explosion quieted down that Qin Yiren said, "Okay." With a sledgehammer, smash! ”
The Qin people carried a sledgehammer and came to the edge of the ditch, looked inside, and couldn't help but be surprised, only to see that the originally strong stone had now become loose, and there were many cracks.
"This ......" Where can the Qin people understand the truth, they all opened their eyes and showed incredible feelings.
"Smash, what are you still doing?" Qin Yiren roared.
"Can this be smashed? Did it work? Although the stone under him was unrecognizable, the Qin people still didn't believe that it could be smashed.
Some Qin people picked up a sledgehammer, used their strength to eat, and smashed it against the stone.
"Poof!" A dull crash sounded, and the sledgehammer went deep into the stone, and the pain that made people hurt their arms in the past did not appear, which surprised the Qin people.
"It's so smashing! It's so smashed! Immediately after, the Qin people erupted in cheers.
The pain of smashing a stone with a sledgehammer is something that everyone knows. The current scene was completely different from the pain they were familiar with, which made Qin people very excited, and they all raised their throats and shouted: "Smash! Smash! Smash it! ”
For a while, I saw sledgehammers flying up and down, and countless sledgehammers smashed the stones, making a dull sound, and splashing rubble.
After smashing for a while, the ditch was already a thick layer of gravel, and it had to be cleaned out.
"Load the truck, transport it to the side and put it away, it's very useful." Qin Yiren ordered again.
Qin Ren no longer had the slightest doubt about Qin Yiren's words now, and they all worked hard, and it didn't take long for the rubble to be cleared out. Then continue to smash until it can't be smashed, and then spread firewood to burn, after burning, use old vinegar to stir, and finally use a sledgehammer to smash.
After three days and three nights of fighting, the stone was conquered, and the Qin people erupted in bursts of cheers.
Qin Yiren's method is not difficult to say, and it is not easy to say. When I was naughty when I was a child, did I burn a stone very hot and throw it into the water? Those who have had this experience must know that when you throw a hot stone into the water, there will be a splash of rubble. Qin Yiren's change was to use old vinegar instead of water.
The advantage of this is that building materials are available for ramming, which is essential to prevent water leakage.
Even the boulder has been overcome, what else can be rare to Qin Yiren? The Qin people praised Qin Yiren as a flower, believing that he was a god descended from heaven and was extremely wise.
In fact, this method is also known to Li Bing and Zheng Guo, which is a technology that hydraulic engineers must master.
In the process of repairing the canal, from time to time there will be boulders blocking the way, as long as there is no leakage, use this method to dispose of it.
Time flies, three months have passed in a blink of an eye, and the summer sowing is coming.
The good news came, the main canal, the branch canal, and the hair canal have been repaired, and they are just waiting to release the water.
The place where the water is diverted into the canal is called Yaokou. On this day, Yaokou was crowded with people, and there were rejoicing Qin people everywhere, all of them with their mouths split.
Millions of Ding Zhuang fought hard for three months and finally built the canal, which was a great encouragement for the Qin people. In addition to the people who stayed in various places. Those who can come are here.
Fight for March. You must always see with your own eyes the water is drawn into the canal, otherwise, you will regret it for the rest of your life, because there are so many people here.
Qin Yiren got up early, finished washing, and took Xiao Yingzheng, Zhao Ji, Mrs. Qing and Meng Yi to the top of the mountain to take a look. What a magnificent scene.
The water rushed and roared away, making a thunderous sound.
However, the water diversion of the canal is much shorter, there is a mountain rock between the canal and the Jingshui, what we need to do now is to destroy the mountain rock, and then the Jingshui can flow into the diversion canal, and then through the canal, flow into all parts of Guanzhong.
At this time, the mountain rock has been piled up with thick firewood, piled high, how high the mountain rock is, how high the firewood is piled up, far away. It's a spectacle.
Zheng Guo stood on a high cloud car, his face full of red light. Extremely excited, his chest rose and fell sharply, and it was difficult to restrain himself.
Zheng Guo is a cloth cloth and water worker in South Korea, and he has been running for water control all his life, but he has no chance. When he came to Qin, he finally had the opportunity to control the water, and now, Zheng Guoqu was about to succeed, which was of great significance to him, and he couldn't do it if he wasn't excited.
Li Bing, who was beside him, smiled and patted Zheng Guo on the shoulder, and didn't say anything, this is silent is better than sound. At this moment, the words have become superfluous, because Li Bing was also so excited when he was cultivating in Dujiangyan, he can fully understand Zheng Guo's mood.
Li Si and Cai Ze were also on the cloud car, and the two were also excited, with tears in their eyes.
The two of them were originally cloth people, but when their parents' state did not come out, they had to leave the Qin country. When they arrived in the Qin State, they were entrusted with the important task of presiding over the construction of a huge water conservancy project such as the Zhengguo Canal, which was extremely trusting to them. Now that the canal is about to succeed, who can't be excited?
"Ignition!" Zheng Guo calmed his excitement, and waved his right hand heavily, like thunder and lightning, extremely powerful.
The Qin army in front of Chai He threw out the torch in his hand, and Chai He burned, and after a while, the flames rose into the air and the smoke billowed out.
The fire burned very well until it burned for more than half a day, and then it was extinguished.
At this time, the mountain rock was already fiery red, like a huge fiery cloud, which had been burned through.
"Vinegar!" Zheng Guo ordered again.
Immediately, there were Qin army warriors who pushed the cloud cart that had been prepared long ago, and then transported the old vinegar to the cloud cart like a stream. The Qin army warriors on the cloud cart picked up the old vinegar and poured it down, and many cloud carts and many Qin army warriors moved together, and the aged vinegar converged into a stream and poured on the reddened rocks.
"Zizi!" There was a sizzling sound, and smoke was rising.
Immediately afterwards, the sound was drowned out, and an earth-shattering "bang" sound sounded, and countless pieces of rubble flew and rolled down like raindrops. It didn't take long for the rocks to be filled with rubble.
"Giant Tree, Bang!" Zheng Guo saw that the heat was almost over, and ordered loudly.
The cloud cart was pushed away, and the Qin army warriors covered with wet felt carried the thick giant trees to the mountain rock.
The reason why it was covered with wet felt was because it was too hot here, and there was no wet felt to protect the body, so it was impossible to get close to the mountain rocks.
"Bump!" With an order, the Qin army soldiers shouted, and they all ran together, and the giant tree slammed into the mountain rock.
"Boom!" An earth-shattering loud bang came, deafening.
This one couldn't be hit, and I saw cracks appear on the mountain rocks, which spread like spider webs with the continuous impact of the Qin army's sharp soldiers.
The Qin army's sharp soldiers did not stop, hitting the mountain rock round after round, and the cracks on the mountain rock became bigger and bigger.
It didn't take long for water droplets to appear on the rocks, and the water had seeped out. These droplets quickly dissipate as steam.
After another impact, it was no longer water droplets that seeped out, but small streams, splashing on the hot mountain rocks, making a sizzling sound and turning into a vast white mist.
Qin Yiren stood on the top of the mountain, and looked at it in his eyes, and he was very emotionally moved that this was a spectacle.
"The wisdom of the people is infinite, and it is true!" Qin Yiren was very emotional.
There was another crash, and the seeping water was stronger, and the rocks began to protrude outward.
"Withdraw!" Zheng Guo knew that it was almost time and could not be bumped again, so he gave a decisive order.
The Qin army soldiers carried the giant wood and flew away.
The magnitude of the mountain rock bulging out is getting bigger and bigger, and the cracks are getting bigger and bigger, and what flows out is no longer a stream, but a real stream, like a bowl. Countless streams of water appear on the rocks of the mountain, which is a spectacle and awe-inspiring.
"Boom!" Suddenly, the mountain rock fell suddenly, and a white Huahua water flowed down, splashing a monstrous wave.
Zheng Guoqu, Cheng! (To be continued......)
