Chapter 411 Chapter 411: Water and Electricity
After visiting the Melo Dam, Duke Medea returned to the Magic Tower in Billy City without saying a word. She was even more eager to break through the Great Magister.
The release of water from the dam caused the downstream Meli River to surge, but it was soon diverted by various channels, and the channels began to irrigate the farmland in the Mellox Province with the water from the Melo Reservoir.
The Billy area is close to thousands of acres of farmland in the Nasri area.
The faces of hundreds of farmers in the farmland were not good. Although there were channels to know that they came here, after the drought started, they rarely saw water.
There are still several kilometers away from the nearest water source, and relying on carrying water is simply a drop in the bucket.
Suddenly, a farmer shouted loudly: "Water is coming, water is coming!"
The dry canals were quickly filled with water, and farmers quickly channeled some of the water into their fields.
The water in the channel did not stop because of this, but continued to flow to the water-scarce Nasri area.
After seeing the Melo Reservoir, Natal also came up with the idea of building a reservoir, built the first man-made lake, and built a channel connecting the Billy area.
The water from the Merlot Reservoir was stopped when it came to the Nasri area, and it would not flow out of the Melox province for half a step, which is exactly what the saying goes.
After the water was connected to the four major areas, both the refugees and the people cheered and jumped.
Aslan is checking the purification system of the water source, because on the right side of the reservoir, a huge water supply station has been built, and the water is continuously introduced into the aqueduct.
The water diversion open channel is a waterway bridge, which is divided into two layers, with a maximum height of 30 meters. The brick or stone channel is generally 0.3-1.5m wide and 0.6-3.0m high. The top of the canal is covered to prevent the water from being polluted. There are vents and inspection holes every 75m or so.
The aqueduct bridge leads the water of the reservoir to the city of Merlot, with a total length of 50 kilometers, of which the length of the bridge bridge is 16 kilometers. More than 10 diversion canals have been built, which can supply 140,000 tons of water per day.
The waterway bridge was built a long time ago, with the cooperation of magicians, the construction speed was faster than expected.
The reason why the buildings in the new urban area are only built five or six stories high is to facilitate the water supply from the aqueduct bridge.
The waterway bridge passes through the new urban area, and then flows into the reservoir on the roof along the water pipe. In the future, every household can use water at home without going out to carry it.
From now on, people will have to pay the water fee according to the water consumption.
After all, for such a huge water supply system, the daily maintenance cost alone is enough to make Wilson shout that he has no money.
Therefore, the water supply fee is imperative. Every household is equipped with three faucets, and each faucet is engraved with a water flow monitoring magic circuit, and the water consumption can be calculated from the water flowing out.
These are connected to a magic water meter, which can register the household's monthly water consumption.
If you think water is too expensive, you can also go to the public water supply to pick up water.
On this point, Aslan did not force the people. Anyway, the water fee is not high, and there will not be too much pressure on the people of Merlot City. It is no exaggeration to say that there are more than 90% of the local residents of Merlot City today. Successful people have an annual income of more than five gold coins.
This income can be regarded as a well-off family in Sino Continent.
After the water is passed through, the electricity starts to be turned on. Magic lamps are not uncommon in Merlot City. Because expensive magic crystals are needed as energy sources in the early stage, there are no large-scale devices in Merlot City. The magic pool of the sub-magic tower.
It's just that everyone didn't notice that a huge magic pool was also built at the bottom of New Merlot Castle, because New Merlot Castle covers a huge area. Although there is only one floor of magic pool, its scale is the same as the three floors of the Medea Magic Tower. Get up ten times.
It will become a magic transfer station for the entire Merlot City, equivalent to a substation facility.
In fact, when Aslan was designing the magic transfer station, he also considered whether it would be too dangerous if the huge facilities were arranged at the bottom of New Merlot Castle.
But considering that there is Duke Medea's magic tower not far away, if there are any unchangeable factors in the future, Duke Medea, the great magister, can suppress them.
In case one really encounters an unrivaled enemy that day, New Merlot Fort can also be used as a huge self-destruct weapon.
Relying on the size of the magic pool at the bottom, the energy generated by self-explosion can be compared to a hydrogen bomb in a rough calculation.
It's just that the magic pool is more stable, and basically there will be no accidents. It has been thousands of years since the first magic tower was built in Sino Continent, but there has never been an explosion of the magic pool of the magic tower, even if the magician detonates it by himself. It didn't happen.
After all, magic towers, no matter what era they were in, were extremely valuable magic facilities. Even if enemy countries invaded and destroyed the imperial capital, there had been dozens of incidents, but no magic tower had ever been destroyed.
Everything is normal at the Melo Dam. For the safety of the dam, Aslan established two towns upstream and downstream of the dam, and directly stationed 5,000 troops in each of the two towns, let alone the Melo Dam. There are still two magic towers that are being perfected.
Nigel and Merlin also moved their new magic research institute to Merlot Dam.
At the same time, these two will also become the first two mages who have owned a magic tower before becoming a mage in the history of Sino Continent.
Aslan still lived in the original lord's mansion. In the early morning of this day, he suddenly opened his eyes and woke up from Arturia's embrace. He looked at the direction of Billy City with deep eyes.
Arturia also woke up in a daze, looking at Aslan with a surprised face.
"What's the matter! Aslan."
"Teacher took that step." After Aslan finished speaking, he quickly dressed and flew out of the window.
Not only Aslan, it can be said that in the city of Melo, all the existing mage-level magicians have sensed strong magic fluctuations.
Nuo Mili flew from another direction and said helplessly.
"It was actually taken a step ahead by the Duke of Medea."
Seeing Nomiri, Aslan smiled and nodded to Nomiri, and Verdiron and Jiedu were slower.
Wen Na and another elf who had just recovered the power of a magister also flew from the elf forest farm.
"See the lord!"
"Let's go! Go to Billy City." Aslan waved his hand and flew to Billy City first.
At this time, Billy City was heavily guarded. In fact, Billy City had been in such a state since Duke Medea returned to Billy City to retreat.
Raul and several other mentor-level powerhouses in Billy City guarded the Sifang City Gate, and professionals were no longer allowed to enter the city.
Raul quickly noticed the figure flying from the direction of Merlot City, and soon he opened his eyes, and Aslan came with four magisters.
This startled Raul, and at the same time secretly surprised the strength of Master Ninth.
