The river flowed much slower than during the rainy season, but Wang Po still walked quite carefully, because he didn't know what he would see. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After the water level dropped, the river became very clear, so Wang Po quickly saw what he was looking for.

In the midst of the ever-flowing river, lies a strange set of mechanisms.

In the water near the shore, a hollow trunk was secured with a wooden support buried deep in the earth. The trunk is led out by water pipe joints on both sides, which then converge and connect to the water pipe, all the way to the shore.

Unlike the tall water towers of the past, the entire water pipeline is now buried deep in the ground, so it's no wonder that nothing can be seen by the river.

On the side of the trunk against the river, a long wooden pole was attached. The other end of the pole is attached to a propeller-like object with three blades. The water flows through the propeller, which pushes the blades to rotate, and the crank drives the connecting rod to reciprocate in a hollow tube made of the trunk.

Although Wang Po doesn't like to study machinery, the caravan travels south and north, and his horizons are very broad. At least the knowledge is extraordinary.

He bent down and stared at the two combined mechanisms for a long time before he raised his head in disbelief and said to Su Ying, who was standing by the river, "They have completely changed the previous design. ”

Su Ying had already vaguely guessed this result when she didn't find the waterwheel. I just haven't thought of how to do it yet. At this time, he also went into the water, walked to Wang Po's side, and bowed down to look at it for a while. Only then did he frown and said, "I've never seen anything like this, I should call a 'nerd' to come and take a look." ”

The "nerd" in her mouth is the person in charge of mechanical maintenance in the caravan, which is equivalent to Ye Dai's status in the apartment.

Wang Po shook his head, "You don't need to call 'nerds', I probably have seen it clearly." ”

With a thoughtful expression on his face, he said to Su Ying, "I didn't expect Ye Dai's talent to be stronger than her father. ”

Su Ying shook her head, "This may not be her idea. She said: "I heard that when she built this waterwheel, Ding Chen was always by her side. After saying that, she hesitated for a moment and added, "Can this thing still be called a waterwheel?" ”

Wang Po was not ready to dwell on the question of the name, he asked in surprise: "You mean that Ding Chen participated in the design?" How is this possible? ”

"yes." Su Ying said: "But the question is, with Ye Dai's character, will she tolerate a guy who gets in the way when she is at work?" Even if it's her little lover? ”

She stared at the propeller blades slowly turning in the water, "Yesterday I heard from them that during the entire process of building the waterwheel, Ding Chen has been working as an assistant to Ye Dai. ”

"It's incredible." Wang Po said: "I mean, how can he be able to do anything? ”

"I don't know." Su Ying frowned and said: "Of course, there are geniuses in this world, you can always hone your skills in battle, but to design this kind of thing, you can't just imagine it, right?" She wondered, "How did he do it?" Would a young man born in the desert have the opportunity to learn this? ”

"Maybe he's just smart." Wang Po said: "None of us are experts in this area, so we don't know how difficult it is to think of this, maybe for some people, this is an easy thing." ”

Su Ying shook her head slowly, feeling that Wang Po's explanation was too unbelievable. But she didn't have a suitable reason to refute him, so she thought for a while, changed the subject and said, "Don't you think this person is strange? ”

She narrowed her eyes, recalling the image of Ding Chen left in her heart, "I have never seen someone as contradictory as him. He is good at destroying and can also build. He likes children, but he doesn't care about killing. He is fierce to his enemies, but he is gentle enough in front of his lover. ”

She looked at Wang Po and said, "Will there be such contradictory people in the world?" ”

Wang Po hesitated for a moment, "Do you think it's pretending to be shown to others?" ”

"Yes." Su Ying said, "But at least he lied to me." ”

Wang Po glanced at her. Su Ying is an outlier among women, but Wang Po believes in her vision of people. He shook his head and said, "Such a person will not be willing to be lonely. ”

"That's what I said to him this morning." Su Ying said helplessly: "But I think we can't take him away until he gets tired of all this." ”

She glanced again at the slowly spinning propeller beneath the water's surface. Sighing softly, "It's not necessarily a good thing for someone like him to stay in an apartment. ”

"If Ye Dai objects, Daddy can't get rid of him." Wang Po reminded: "He is not as determined as he seems. And if all this is really what we suspected, then he will not be willing to drive him away. ”

"If it were me, I would." Su Ying said: "He is too strong, this will upset the balance. ”

She turned and walked towards the riverbank, "I've been thinking about the relationship between the old city and the apartments, and if the balance between the two is not maintained, the results may not be optimistic. ”

"It's not our problem." Wang Po said: "Even if the balance is broken, we will just lose a supply point. ”

"Is it just a supply point?" Su Ying said: "You underestimate the role of the apartment too much. It is too late to know that you should cherish it until you lose it. ”

She stepped ashore with Wang Po's support, stepping barefoot on the dry ground by the river, with rough skin on her graceful feet. It's the mark of walking all year round.

She twisted the part of her leather pants soaked by the river with her hand and said, "Let's go back." She looked up at the sky, "It's still time to get back to the old city." I think we can tell Xu Shuidong that Daddy is willing to cooperate. Speaking of this, she didn't look very happy, "I really can't imagine that we still have to do something to support the development of local industries." ”

Today may not be a happy day, but in front of a cave hundreds of kilometers away from Su Ying, a bald young man was looking at the empty cave in front of him with a gloomy face. This man has a rather delicate face, but it is a pity that the lack of grass on the face spoils this beauty.

What makes people feel inconsistent is that even in the valley, he still has a large pair of sunglasses on his face, covering most of his face.

People kept carrying things out of the cave, and then re-packed them in the sunlight outside the cave, and then strung them together with flat poles to pick them up.

Looking at the harvest in front of them, most people's hearts are very happy, but unfortunately, they know that their boss is in a bad mood, so no one dares to laugh out loud, not even smile.

A young man with a semi-automatic rifle walked up from behind and whispered behind the bald young man, "I've found Wang's body." ”

The bald young man slowly turned around, looked at his subordinates, and listened to him continue to report: "The corpse is almost rotten, it looks like it has a broken stomach, and nothing else can be seen. They built a grave for him. ”

The bald young man gritted his teeth and scolded hatefully: "Ai Kai's heart is really good, kill someone and build a grave, do you say that if Lao Wang comes back to life, do you want to thank him?" ”

The young man pursed his lips, ignoring his boss's habit of complaining.

"What else did you find?" The bald young man asked.

"There's a very clear trail going north."

"To the north?" The bald young man shook his head, "That's fake, it's impossible for Ai Kai to go to the north, he must have gone to District 53, you bring a few people over to inquire." ”

Then he shook his head and looked at his men, and shouted, "Hurry up, we'll leave tonight, and we won't stay here." ”
