Chapter 65: What is this?

The onlookers were in an uproar, and they looked at each other, as if trying to find evidence on each other's faces that they had just misheard.

Water will only flow from high to low, how can it flow from low to high, you know, in order to carry water, we have fought all our lives, but you say that it will flow up by itself?

Looking at the puzzled faces, Gao Ge didn't explain much, just turned his head and whispered to the tall girl with a simple face behind him: "Let's start!"

Quiri nodded, her gaze hardened, and she stepped out of the crowd and walked to the river.

Because it is in the dry season, the water surface of the Wuding River is far below the ground, and the drop is estimated to be five or six meters, but the water flow rate is still very fast, and the "boom" sounds.

Tsukuri took a deep breath, some of her majestic breasts looked even more amazing, and she stretched out her finger to point at the water, slowly paddling in the air, chanting something silently in her mouth.

A large body of water near the shore suddenly became abruptly out of phase, and the river that was originally rushing in one direction suddenly seemed to be stirred up by an invisible hand, and the chaotic whirlpools appeared in patches, large and small.

Underneath, it seems that something strange is happening.

"Oh!" suddenly exclaimed in unison.

From under the surface of the water, three earthen embankments slowly rose, and in the blink of an eye they had risen to the surface, and they wriggled and grew like living creatures, and slowly joined together at right angles to each other, and joined together with the embankment on which everyone stood.

In a few moments, a rectangular pond was formed, about four meters wide and ten meters long, clinging to the embankment.

When the earthen embankment stopped growing, Tsukuri also let out a long breath, and a strange flush appeared on her face, but it disappeared again in the blink of an eye.

She glanced at Gao Ge not far away with some joy and gratitude.

"Scoop up the water in this pool!" Gao Ge ordered loudly.

The peasants took their buckets to scoop the water from the square pond, and when the embankment was crowded with people, some dared to try to walk up to the three new earthen embankments, only to find that they were quite sturdy.

Soon, the four sides of the square pond were full of people, and when there were many people, the water was scooped up very quickly, but in more than an hour, the pond bottomed out, and only a few grass carp were left "crackling" in the silt.

While everyone was scooping up water, the dozens of people who came with the convoy also began to get busy, and they built the wooden components separately, large or small.

Several wooden pillars, thicker than a strong man's thighs, were first inserted deep into the silt at the bottom of the pond, and with the blessing of Zhu Li, they were effortlessly inserted into the ground to a depth of nearly two meters, and the part that exposed the bottom of the pond was nearly eight meters, nearly three meters higher than the embankment.

Soon, the elements that had been preliminarily assembled on the shore were installed on a sturdy frame made of these columns.

Two hours later, a large wooden wheel was firmly erected, the lower third below the level and the top nearly three meters above the ground.

On the wheel surface of the big wheel, there are wooden planks inserted in the tenon, and a thick bamboo tube is tied diagonally at intervals, one end is closed by a bamboo joint, one end is open, and the open end is facing the embankment, there are forty or fifty of them.

Immediately afterwards, a two-meter-high shelf was erected on the embankment, on which was a long, horse-drinking trough, parallel to the large wheel.

A large hole was made in the middle and bottom of the sink, and a large bamboo tube with a broken bamboo knot was tightly inserted to the ground.

When everyone had finished what they were doing, it was already time for the sun to set, and the afterglow of the setting sun stretched the shadows of the huge wheels for a long time.

By this time, all the peasants who were working on the trumpet-shaped field had gathered around the big wheel, and everyone was whispering, curious and confused.

All eyes were on Gao Ge's face.

"Let's go!" Gao Ge confidently waved his hand at Zhuli.

Zhu Li nodded, and soon, a gap appeared in the three earthen embankments, and the river poured from here into the bottoming square pond.

If all three earthen embankments were to be removed at once, the rapid influx of water could knock over the entire wheel.

When the water in the square pond was level with the river outside, the three Toti began to slowly sink below the surface of the water with the gesture of Zhuli slowly pressing down.

On the big wheel, there is a "creaking" sound, which is getting louder and louder, which is the sound of each component starting to eat the pressure of the water flow and deforming.

The crowd was silent, and many people clenched their fists nervously.

"Oh" the crowd suddenly exclaimed in unison, and the big wheels slowly began to turn.

"Wow!" When the big wheel slowly turned for a week, a large stream of water suddenly poured out of the bamboo tube that had risen to the top, and it was poured into the sink below the side impartially.

The water flowed to the ground through a long bamboo tube inserted at the bottom of the sink.

"Oh my God......! The water is really coming up!"

"It's a miracle!"

"Water!water!!"

The crowd boiled.

In this boiling area, the big wheels spin faster and faster, and the river water is poured out of the large bamboo tubes called water buckets that are constantly turning one by one, and then flows to the ground through the outlet pipe under the sump.

"Hurry up and dig an aqueduct and bring the water to the fields!" Gao Ge ordered loudly.

......

The peasants, who had seen hope in their despair, went mad, and with the help of Tsukuri, they worked all night in the fields, digging a water diversion system covering the entire reclaimed area of the trumpet plain in a single night, by the light of the moon, the stars, and the torches.

Straight trunk canals, capillary-like branch canals, appeared overnight in the vast fields, attracting water of life that continued to water hope.

In just two days, eight wheeled waterwheels were erected on two banks of the trumpet-shaped plain, four on each side, and the water drawn from the river could penetrate into every corner of the cultivated farmland.

In addition, construction has begun on two larger, more well-made giant waterwheels, which are said to be even more useful.

The drought that used to disgrace people no longer poses a threat to Weishan City.

Man will conquer the sky, and people remember the words of the lord of the city.

It is also remembered that this miraculous machine, called the Kevin Waterwheel, was named after the designer.

......

Because of the improvement of the irrigation system, a large number of laborers have been liberated, and new refugees are arriving in Weishan City every day, and more and more people can be engaged in agricultural production, and new land is constantly being reclaimed to plant the second crop of buckwheat.

Towards the end of the second month of the dry season, more than 10,000 acres of land had been cleared on the trumpet-shaped plains.

In the green buckwheat fields, simple huts were built here and there, and the farm tools provided by the lord's mansion were stored, which the peasants could rent at a very low price.

To the amazement of the peasants, most of these farm tools were never seen by the veterans who had been digging in the soil all their lives, such as pears, rakes, flails, shovels, and sickles...... Light hoes are divided into five or six types.

But I have to say that these new farm tools are very easy to use, and after using these things, the original guys who have used them all their lives will no longer be able to look at them.

I heard that these novelties were all created by the organization called the Manufacturing Division set up by the city lord.

Recently, there have been many institutions with such new names, such as the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Construction, the Department of Education, the Department of Culture, and the Department of Health......

These departments are all under the Ministry of Political Affairs, and the corresponding to this is the Ministry of Military Affairs.

All the divisions were very capable, with no more than two or three permanent clerks, and the chiefs were all parliamentarians from the Golden Griffin, the chief of the Ministry of Administration was Speaker Darigori, and the head of the Ministry of Military Affairs was the wise and brave Zoranama.

Zoranama also became the second knight of Weishan City because of his excellent completion of the task of escorting the city lord to hunt for beast souls.

The entire Weishan City is like a sophisticated and efficient machine, running rapidly, changing itself and everything around it.

......

Recently, Gao Ge has been with Kevin and Sieriv every day, the former is now the chief designer of the manufacturing department, and the latter is the chief engineer of the construction department.

What Gao Ge has to do every day is to rack his brain, recall the things in his mind that he has seen in another world through various means, and that are suitable for the needs of this world now, and draw what it looks like, and try to express how it works.

This is too difficult for Gao Ge, most of the things he only knows but doesn't know why, or only knows a general principle.

For example, a wheelbarrow that uses human power to carry out short-distance transportation is very practical in this southern border, where there is a lack of large livestock such as cattle and horses, but he only knows that this thing is a wheel, two feet underneath, a wooden frame around it, and two handrails at the back, as for how these parts are connected and functional, he is completely confused.

To Gao Ge's great relief, every time he took out a clumsy drawing that even made him blush, and only needed a few words to explain, Kevin and Sieriv would immediately understand the wonder of this thing or this building, and would soon be able to draw detailed drawings that could be used in practice.

As for Kevin and Sieriv, they are more and more admiring and even worshiping Gao Ge, how many wonderful ideas are in the mind of this city lord, I am afraid that he can only be described by the word genius.

Gao Ge was responsible for the creativity, Kevin and Sieriv were responsible for the refinement, and the construction department and the manufacturing department organized craftsmen to be responsible for the implementation, so that new and useful objects and buildings with novel functions appeared in the small Weishan City one after another.

However, there are some things that have not been made public.
