Chapter 518: Internship in the Flood Control City (Final)
In Wen Ming’s eyes, the Great Flood Control City was more than just a grand spectacle.
It is also a collection of water management concepts. Perhaps the complete additions to this giant city will take many years to complete, but just the parts that are planned and planned to be completed within four years have already made Wen Ming excited.
The parts that exist in thinking and have not yet been confirmed are actually made according to the model, from flood control to speed reduction, from overflow to water storage, from pressure reduction to dredging, from water release to flood diversion, from
From diversion to control, from mediation to diversion, from drainage to energy dissipation.
The water flow, which was finally eliminated of its evil nature, passed through the water network and began to continuously provide water to various farmlands and workshops in the Hongzhou Alliance!
This is how the Great Flood Control City operates step by step.
“Isn’t this a natural principle created by human hands?”
Wen Ming thought so and made a sound.
You don’t need to build the same thing on the riverside, you just need to understand all the concepts and the operation methods of flood diversion and discharge. In this way, you can not only use it when building flood control projects, but even dig mountains and open water channels.
, you can also understand how to better control the water flow within the range you want.
The next acceptance work, at sunset, the first stage of acceptance work has come to an end for the time being.
When the ancients tested the quality of projects, they often had methods from various eras. The most common method used by the ancients was to poke the rammed earth wall with a spear. If it was pierced with a certain force and number of times, the head of the builder would be killed.
If the person doing the inspection did not stab hard enough, he will be held accountable and will also lose his life.
By the Song Dynasty, the accountability system was relatively complete. The requirements for various materials in the "Building Methods" were standardized and mass-produced. Of course, that era was not standardization of industrial forms, but of course there were molds and manpower, and it was implemented for five years.
The shelf life of a project, for important projects, is eight years. If something goes wrong during this period, the designer, constructor, and supervisor will be held criminally responsible.
Of course, ancient laws, except those of the Qin Dynasty, all provide convenience to those in power, so it remains to be seen whether this will be pursued according to law.
Ruan Zai patted the wall of the overflow dam to ensure that every square boulder would be fine. However, the overflow dam was too large and there were not that many people to inspect it. Therefore, after careful investigation, including the specifications of each boulder,
Detailed records have been made as well as the protruding surfaces, but only a quarter of them have been inspected so far.
At night, everyone slept on the construction site of the Great Flood Control City. The wooden houses and earthen houses were closely connected to each other. Fireworks were rising from the ashes in front of the threshold, and the wind had just passed by.
Wen Ming was so excited that he couldn't sleep well all night. He tossed and turned, and his mind was filled with the details of today's inspection.
He was suddenly full of confidence in managing the three hundred miles of rivers before and after Dizhu Mountain.
“If development continues, will one day we be able to build huge overflow dams on large rivers and in large rivers, and use human power to adjust the water speed of large rivers and rivers?”
"If it can really be realized, if it can be like this, there will really be no more floods in the world!"
The large flood control city also has many facilities and equipment, such as rain gauges, water buckets, levels, and large scales that are the same as those of the large meteorological observatory. These are all things that must be used in construction. In this era without calculation and tectonics, the most stupid
Methods often seem to have an inspiring power.
Because these instruments are visible and tangible, and they are still heavy to hold. These simple objects contain huge heavenly principles.
Wen Ming was tired and fell asleep late at night. He had a dream
He grew up, grew a beard, and led the tribesmen to build a large dam on the edge of the river.
What does this dam look like?
It should be high, it should be wide, it should be huge, it should be level with the mountains. The water of the big river roared from Fenglingdu, and then saw this dam.
In the dream, the water of the river turned into a dragon, and the dam also gained wisdom and opened its eyes and mouth.
Dahe asked why the dam was blocking its way. Wen Ming dreamed that he was standing on the dam, and the dam laughed at Dahe and told Dahe: "You have nurtured countless creatures on both sides of the river bank, but you are also moody.
, killing them all the time, and people were displaced, and that’s how I came to be.”
The river turned into a yellow dragon and hit the dam angrily. Wen Ming dreamed that he stood on the dam and waved the shovel in his hand, so the dam opened an overflow hole. Huanglong rushed over and was frightened by the overflow hole.
It is sucked away, then falls apart, and the dam spits out harmless water from the other side, following the river to Dizhu Mountain.
Subsequently, Wen Ming led his people to dig out the three mountains mentioned by Yu Zai, and the water in the river began to flow. Relying on the dam, the people in Dizhu Mountain lived a happy life.
He saw Bingyi coming and praised the Yellow River dam.
He saw Wei God coming and kept silent about the dam.
When he saw Luo Shen coming, he jumped angrily and said that the dam had ruined the river.
But Wen Ming didn’t care what the three gods thought. He was very happy, stroking his beard, and more and more water gods came from afar.
He led the people to follow the river again, and walked and walked until they came to Jishui, where they continued to channel water and continued to build.
He used the concepts he learned here in Yuzai and spent seven years building countless dams across mountains and seas.
He finally returned to Shiqianyuan. By this time, the construction of the large flood control city had been completed.
He could see endless fertile fields, countless workshops burning iron and copper fire, water flowing against waterwheels and water rows, driving huge spinning machines, bringing endless power and vitality to the entire south.
Then, the great flood in the world came, but the dams in the mountains and seas all worked, so there was no flood this time, and everyone in the world was at peace.
Wen Ming dreamed that Gonggong abdicated the throne, gave him the position of Sikong, and then disappeared.
Then, the dream woke up
Wen Ming had a very tired dream, but when he thought about the work he had to do next, he became full of strength.
The sound of the trumpet represents the sound of getting up. From the moment the dawn shines on the mountains, the sky and the earth shine with light.
Wen Ming told Ruan Zai about the dream he had last night, and Ruan Zai smiled:
"Perhaps it will succeed. From generation to generation, the sky is still the same sky and the earth is still the same. However, people change one after another. No one can hold back the pace of time. But if you think about it differently, today's dream,
Maybe it will be the fruit of the future, in another hundred or thousand years."
