Chapter 2834: Return Home Safely as Flowing Water
People in other places also eat grilled fish, but the fish they eat is in large pieces and cooks quickly.
"Have the canals been repaired?" Li Yi took a sip of beer and looked at the leader.
"One was repaired a long time ago, but there is no water. The other one is under repair. It is convenient to use water and there is no need to worry about sudden heavy rain."
The leader pointed to the north, where there was an artificial canal, which was not an exaggeration to say a river, connected to a river in the east.
There was always water in that river, and the water level was fluctuating.
This is a tropical climate with unstable precipitation and changeable conditions.
The canal connected to the past is in a middle position, so when there is a lot of rainfall, part of the water from the upstream will be discharged into the sea from the canal first.
The pressure on the downstream is reduced, and the probability of floods is small.
According to the arrangement, there are two artificial rivers in total, and the second one is in the middle position between the lower and this one.
There are buildings on the coast, and it is troublesome to use water. Bamboo bridges have been used.
If there is a river, build a few large ponds and connecting canals, and the water problem will be solved.
"Go and have a look after dinner." Li Yi planned to open it up and use explosives to blow it up.
The river channel was dug, and a hole needed to be broken at the top, and it would be done with a bang.
Everyone sped up and walked north together when they were almost done.
A little more than three kilometers away, a dry ditch appeared in front of them.
There was no cement or stone as the embankment, and the big ditch was dug directly on the ground, and the soil piled on both sides was considered the bank.
"How to deal with it in the future?" Li Longji asked the leader.
"Master Zhou said that we should use sacks of small stones and sand to build the embankment, and then plant grass and trees to strengthen the embankment. Now there is little time, so we haven't opened it there yet."
The leader pointed to the east, and the water would rush down after it was opened.
"In the past, some people drilled holes and blasted them." Li Longji wanted to see what it would look like to pass the water.
The Yulin Flying Cavalry and the craftsmen began to get explosives, detonators, drilling tools, ropes, and rushed on the hovercraft, otherwise it would be too far.
The people who had also finished their meals were not in a hurry to work, so they came to watch the fun.
Many people came here with parts of waterwheels, and they were ready and waiting for water to be put in. Stone troughs and small channels were built on the shore to facilitate water collection.
"Leave five hovercrafts." Li Longji decided to provide assistance here as well. Hovercrafts are amphibious and run fast.
About an hour later, the ground was slightly twisted, followed by a rumbling sound.
The little robot said: "It exploded, and the water will rush here in a while, and it will be very turbid."
Sure enough, after a while, mud-like water appeared, and there were small animals floating on it. They must have run into the canal, and the upstream waterproofing was not notified in advance.
The small animals rolled with straw sticks and other things and entered the sea in front of everyone. It is estimated that they will not survive, and no one will rescue them.
A few minutes later, the hovercraft that ran over before rushed down from above in the big ditch, but it did not roll.
When it was about to enter the sea, a mist sprayed out, and the hovercraft accelerated into the sea, making a circle and running to the shore.
"Efficient fuel." Yao Chong affirmed, smart.
The people were all happy, there was one more river.
"If you flush it, the riverbed will be deeper, because the soil below is loose. If you flush it again, the silt in the gentle area will rise, and we will clear the silt when it is time to clear it."
Zhang Jiuling looked at what happened after the river was raised. The river was more than 30 meters wide and about 3 meters deep.
"When will the water truck be released?" asked a citizen with a big piece of wood under his feet.
"Let's see it tomorrow during the day. It will be more convenient with the hovercraft. I will look at the drawings and the wood. If possible, assemble it on the shore and I will use a helicopter to lift it to the river."
Li Yi looked at the things being moved and felt that they were not too big, but they were not one. Zhuangzi's craftsmen should install them in sections and have more water supply locations.
"Owner, more than two tons per truck." Craftsman Zhou Dong provided direct data without looking at drawings and wood density.
"It can be lifted. Let's see the river tomorrow." Li Yi was relieved.
The people looked for a while and ran to work, but their hearts were here.
Some people couldn't sleep at night and had to listen to the noise by the river to feel at ease.
When the day dawned, I went to the river again to see if the water had become clear. Today, I had a waterwheel.
"It's clear, clearer than yesterday. I couldn't see the bottom of the river."
Some people were happy and shouted to others.
To put it bluntly, it's not clear yet. You can't see the bottom of the river at a depth of three meters. How can it be called clear?
"Okay, put the waterwheel! We'll leave tomorrow."
Li Yi didn't want to wait any longer, and the people of Datang were waiting too.
The craftsmen and their men got busy, using hovercraft and ropes to get the wood into the river and pile it. There were six locations in total, and construction was carried out at the same time.
Zhuangzi threw the wood one by one according to the set distance. Li Yi drove the helicopter to lift the waterwheel there to listen to the command, and the ropes below were used to adjust and fix the swing of the waterwheel.
It took an hour to install a waterwheel, and Li Yi simply let go and didn't care.
This time the speed was faster, lifting one every ten minutes, and the helicopter was stable.
Pull out the pins of each waterwheel, pour water on the shaft, and push it with a little force, and the waterwheel rotates.
The stone trough and the water channel were aligned, and water just flowed in through the half bamboo tube. The water flow was quite large.
Unfortunately, the water was still turbid and needed to be flushed. It was not like digging a well and pumping water to make it clear.
Even so, the people were excited. Could they wait another half a month?
When the sun rose the next day and everyone boarded the boat to leave, some people shouted, "The water is clear, it's really clear this time."
"Rest for a while after returning. Third brother wants to take a walk. Let's go to Shu and take a boat.
Or take an airship to the grassland. The source of the Yellow River is also fine.
There are many wild vegetables in Bohai. Pick mushrooms there in summer. There are large patches of blood-red rivet mushrooms and sticky dumplings in the pine forest.
The crater of Changbai Mountain. If we are lucky, we can dig ginseng. It is estimated that we can find it. There are few people in the local area.
Take the small robot to scan along the way. Dig out the old ones and let the young ones continue to grow."
Li Yi talked about the future travel days on the boat. Who stipulated that the emperor could stay in Lijiazhuang all day and could not go out?
Li Longji looked at the sea, but he was actually listening and thinking. It was wrong not to walk around in his own country.
These two trips did not delay the operation of the court.
"Okay! Take a look at the lives of the people. Brother Yi will trouble you when you go to a place. You have to..."
Li Longji stopped talking and felt embarrassed.
"No problem. Wherever I go, I will look at the local situation and give solutions to help the people live a good life."
Li Yi took over the conversation. Wherever there are resources, and then look at the road conditions and the living and living conditions of the people, it is easy to solve the problem of food and clothing.
What? What should I do if I live next to the desert? Move! The simplest way, why do I have to stay there?
"Brother Yi has worked hard, how about Silla? Silla" Li Longji looked at his little robot.
"Silla is just one step away, just like Bohai, we will be almost there when we go back." The little robot gave the answer.
