Chapter 588: A Symbol of the Times
They arrived at their homeland at the foot of the Gao Clan, stopped at the edge of the wilderness, and met the son of Emperor Zhuan, and at this time, the migrants of the southern and western saltwater tribes finally came to the edge of the Shikishawahara after arriving at the breathtaking Chongyong Fortress.
The huge fortress stretched between the mountains, like a giant separating the mountains and rivers, with the sun, moon and stars on its head, and the people of the salt water tribes had never seen this kind of structure anywhere, and this huge, majestic bank that separated the mountains was an ancient artistic conception that could not be told.
"This fortress is Chongyong, when the three seedlings of several people fell in front of it, this fortress is a collection of 200,000 people to build, there are craftsmen from the south, there are warriors from the Central Plains, there are technicians from Dongyi, there are brave people of Baiyue..... The mud and sand mixed with sweat, and the flesh and blood melted into the rocks. ”
The witch girl heard that in order to build this fortress, the southerners specially mined the strongest stones from the distant summer mountain, so that the fortress was impregnable, so that Sanmiao's army broke its head.
Xia Shan, isn't that about to reach Ge Tianlu Mountain?
After the witch girl was scattered in the Lingshan, she also swam along the river, and heard that some of the tribes said stories about the past, in the past, Chiyou mined hardware and cast soldiers in the mountain of Ge Tianlu, and the summer mountain was further south of the mountain of Ge Tianlu.
But then something even bigger awaited them.
The people of the salt water tribes came to the fork of the road, and here, continuing to the east, they could already see the huge works standing in the mountains and fields, stretching beyond the fields, and the witch's breathing was about to stop, and she looked in another direction, and in that heaven and earth, there was a great wonder that connected the heavens.
Great Flood Control City and Great Meteorological Observatory.
Wonder is an extraordinary building that can ensure that civilization can be passed on for eternity, and can stimulate people's creativity and artistry in ancient times, and get spiritual sublimation.
Of course, ancient wonders were basically built for a certain purpose, so their role and birth are full of enthusiasm.
For example, the astronomical observatory in the ruins of Tao Temple, that is, the abbot of Emperor Fangxun built, used to school calendar, to determine the building of the sun and the moon at four o'clock, and this wonder is not particularly big, in three generations or even earlier, ancient China basically did not develop a great wonder, but there is a big wonder left in the Fan Xia Dynasty, and now it will not be dug everywhere.....
For example, the ancient Egyptian slaves built the pyramids for the pharaohs as large tombs, and that would not happen until much later.
Therefore, if something like a spectacle is built in the process of causing public resentment to boil or consuming national strength, such as Comrade Yang Guang's construction of the Grand Canal, it will inevitably be scolded in the history books.
Wu Gu was looking at the two great wonders, especially the Great Flood Control City, and the construction site of the Flood Control City could be seen on the edge of the shallow plain, and Mr. Wu Pan told her that this was just a corner of the construction.
The city is planned to be completed in four years, three years to withstand the flood and supervise, the next ten years to improve the other parts, and another ten years to strengthen and inspect, that is, it will take tens of thousands of people to complete the city and take twenty-seven years to declare it completely and completely.
The witch couldn't help but sigh.
Twenty-seven years, almost thirty years, thirty years, the lives of the people, even those in the rich land, will live to sixty or seventy, and most of the ordinary mortals in the mountains and seas will die at the age of forty or fifty.
I have dedicated most of my life to this stone, and will it really live up to the expectations of all beings?
Symbol of the times......!
"There is no doubt that it will inevitably become a huge bulwark against flooding, and the time will soon come, and the Meteorological Observatory is closely recording the climate change every day, and it has been doing this since the time it was completed. ”
Mr. Wu Pan let the witch aunt relax, although you are shocked by the spectacle, but you can't doubt its design problem, this is after many masters at the same time research and measurement, the final determination of the plan, the country of the Chengjiu clan plus Chongbo, as well as the Zhurong clan, and even the Xuansnake tribe in the lower reaches of the black water have also been visited, and finally in our big leader's board, it was determined that its current appearance.
"There are still a lot of instruments on the meteorological observatory, if you want to see them, wait until you settle down.... I promise, you'll love those amazing celestial instruments. ”
Although they are all primitive celestial instruments, they are enough to be used in this era, and the more advanced the instruments, the more sophisticated calculations and skilled craftsmen are required, which requires the use of physics and mathematics.
Mr. Wu Pan also said that if Wu Gu knew any people who were excellent in mathematics, such as the head of the Yellow Emperor period, then he could recommend it, and now there is a need for talents here.
The witch asked, "It seems that you have decided to live here?"
Wu Pan nodded: "Yes, my newly accepted apprentice is here, and I have been here for many years, watching it step by step from the mud to the present, Hongzhou has created too many incredible things, can you imagine that five years ago, this place was still a barren, primitive and miasma everywhere?"
"There is no need to move anymore, after ten years, future generations will no longer remember Lingshan, nor will they envy Duguang no Ye, because here, it is far better than them!"
"Maybe the thousands of ancestors in the stars will indeed choose some people, and I look forward to the day when they appear..."
Witch: "Which day?"
Wu Pan: "Jingxing is seen in the wings!"
will come, when the world has a holy lord appears, Jingxing will be called, although in the daily chatter with Yu Zai, I learned that the stars in the sky have their own set of operation methods, but Yu Zai did not deny that the ancestors exist in the starry sky.
Mr. Wu Pan looked into the distance, the water gate area of the Great Flood Control City has been built, and the main giant canal behind it is being built, when the giant canal is completed, you can start the first diversion test, that is, to guide the river water into the water gate, to see if it is normal, it belongs to Yu Zai and Chongbo, and one of the tests in the plan of the three wizards of the Yaoshan clan....
A truly powerful spectacle of the world needs to be tested repeatedly to make it gorgeous.
The people of the salt water tribes, with reverence for the south, began to move towards the center of Shikishohara, and they followed the flow of water, and walked along wide roads, with fields for grazing, houses for production, thousands of miles of fertile fields, and all kinds of farming implements that had never been seen before.
"What's that, pottery?"
"That's porcelain. ”
"Is that .....?"
"Columbies, ploughs, harrows, stone mills, ox carts, carts..."
The farmer's market was full of people, the flea market was constantly shouting, there were bear hawkers occupying the road, and the harmonious scenery of people and beasts scurrying everywhere made the people in the salt water tribes a little frightened.
"When the Akagata clan came here, the Yi people descended from the Gao clan to the south hill, and after a year it became a village, two years later it became a city, and three years later it became a metropolis ....."
The stars are divided into wings, the ground is connected to Henglu, the three rivers are connected with the five lakes, the control of the barbarian Jing and the introduction of Ouyue, the treasure of the world, the ruins of the dragon light shooting bull fight.....
Wu Pan seems to have returned to the time when he first taught the witch, it was the early days of Lingshan, and the witch was also a little witch who didn't know anything, and time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they, the wizards who had eaten the undead grass, had lived for hundreds of years.
