Chapter 628 Nanjiang Weir

In the fairy world, the Silver Moon God and the God of Agriculture were in a standoff, and the Fifth Xuan watched silently.

After returning for a year, the power of faith in the alliance was enough for one totem to become a god and there was still some left.

For this quota, the Silver Moon God and the God of Agriculture quarreled.

The God of Agriculture was the original Bull Totem. The Fifth Xuan deified him, so he gave himself this name, and no one knew what he was thinking.

But his mind has always been jumping around, sometimes good and sometimes bad, so the Fifth Xuan followed his wishes.

Now he jumped out again to compete with the Silver Moon God for the opportunity to become a god, and the Fifth Xuan didn't understand his idea for a while.

Not only the Fifth Xuan didn't understand, but the Silver Moon God and the Sun God who had become a god also didn't understand.

"I have a legitimate reason."

The God of Agriculture still looked like a buffalo with four horns. He stretched his neck and looked at Diwu Xuan and the Silver Moon God with his big eyes.

"What's the reason? Tell me."

Diwu Xuan urged.

"The world is flooded, and millet is in short supply..."

"There is no shortage."

Diwu Xuan interrupted him.

Although the flood was rampant, the millet stored in the early years was enough, and the new millet variety had been developed long ago, so there is still enough food for the alliance.

If it was not enough, Mang would not be crazy enough to start a war. Even if he was crazy, the fourth generation ancestor witch and Shao were there, and they would definitely not do such a thing.

"Then... I, the old cow, will contribute to flood control."

The God of Agriculture said with big eyes.

"Are you going out to plow the river with your horns?"

Diwu Xuan was a little serious.

Now that the spiritual energy has been released very far, if the old cow is willing to do this job, he can really agree to let the old cow become a god first.

It's only half a year, and if he persuades Moon Totem, she will agree.

"...I won't go out."

Who would have thought that the old cow would open her eyes wide and blurt out such a sentence after being stunned for a long time.

"He thinks that the residual consciousness of the saint is about to disappear, and he is afraid of losing his backing, so he wants to become a god first."

Moon Totem said what Niu Totem was thinking, making the old cow's eyes shake nervously from side to side.

Diwu Xuan really didn't expect this guy to have so many thoughts.

"The residual consciousness of the saints has a tendency to disappear, but it is far from extinction. You wait for another half a year."

After hearing what Diwu Xuan said, the old man hummed and dragged his body to walk away slowly, but he looked back every three steps, and he was still unwilling to give up.

"The next one is you, what do you think?"

Diwu Xuan couldn't bear to see him like this, so he spoke.

"Really?"

asked Lao Niu.

Diwu Xuan scanned the other totems and saw that no one clearly objected, so he replied, "Really."

Lao Niu left happily, and Diwu Xuan finally had time to inject the power of divine faith into the moon in the sky. The

power of divine faith entered his body, and the silver light of the full moon became more and more brilliant, illuminating the land of the fairyland, dyeing the fairyland beautifully.

Slowly, above the moon, the thick fog dissipated, revealing a palace.

On the gate of the palace, the three characters "Guanghan Palace" were written. Inside the palace, a beautiful woman was lying on the attic of the central hall. She

was charming and beautiful.

"This monster..."

Diwu Xuan complained, and then he stopped paying attention to him. Judging from his appearance, he would not wake up for a while.

He scanned the Guanghan Palace, thinking of looking for the Jade Rabbit or Wu Gang, but found that these two did not exist.

"Subconscious... is indeed not absolute."

Diwu Xuan murmured, and he no longer paid attention to the Silver Moon God.

…………

Standing on the shore, his eyes were fixed on the center of the river.

Now it has entered winter, but the dry season of Nanjiang River has not arrived as expected. The river water is still rushing from west to east, but it is not as turbulent as in summer.

At this time, the tribesmen gathered by him were busy carrying the pine branches into the middle of the river and throwing them into the middle of the river.

From the shore to the middle of the river, a temporary embankment has been filled with bamboo baskets filled with stones. People walked on it, carrying pine branches and bamboo baskets filled with stones.

These are the materials for building the embankment. According to the idea of ​​​​Xiao, he will build a Nanjiang Weir in this place.

This inspiration naturally came from a drawing of Dujiangyan that he had seen in the Chuanmo Holy Temple. The drawing was left by the Fifth Xuan.

"Witch, the current ahead is too fast. The branches thrown down will be washed away quickly. Only bamboo cages filled with stones can be used."

The assistant ran over from the front line and said to Wu.

Wu nodded. He also felt this way, so he asked his assistant to take a look. The result was just as he guessed.

Half of the river channel was blocked, and the remaining river channel must have a turbulent current. It was no longer realistic to continue throwing.

"Throw the branches and cage stones a little further back and start building the fish mouth."

Wu thought about it and said with determination.

He didn't know whether it was right or wrong to start building the fish mouth at this location, but the entire alliance had no experience in such a large project. He could only follow the records in the books and give it a try.

The so-called Fish Mouth is the westernmost point of a piece of land in the shape of a swimming fish that he wanted to build in the middle of the river.

It is very important to determine this point and the shape of the swimming fish behind it.

According to the practice of Dujiangyan, swimming fish are used to divide the river water into two parts, the outer river in the south and the inner river in the middle.

The riverbed of the outer river is slightly higher, and the riverbed of the inner river is slightly lower.

In this way, when the water flow is relatively small, six points of the water flow will flow into the lower-lying inner river.

The water of the inner river will be introduced into the river channel to the north to irrigate the plain land below.

When the water flow is larger, that is, when the flood comes, a vortex will form in front of the fish mouth because of the high and low terrain.

This vortex will throw more than six layers of water into the outer river, while the inner river will only have less than four layers.

In this way, the inner river will not overflow, and the overflow of the outer river will endanger the land south of the Nanjiang River. There are not many tribesmen there, so it is better to relocate in advance.

In order to achieve this effect, the location of the fish mouth must be chosen well, but Xi didn't know whether the location he chose could achieve this effect.

In his heart, he didn't have a definite and effective judgment, but he had to give the order. In fact, he had been delaying for some time.

"You supervise here, I'll go and see the transformation of Neijiang in the back."

Xi said to his assistant, and took a few guards riding on the giant wolf and ran to the back.

Nanjiang is divided into two from here. One part goes south, which is a larger branch, and the other part goes north, which is a smaller branch.

In order to make Neijiang more effective, Xi modified the branch to the north and is asking the tribesmen along the way to expand it.

What he wants to watch is this expansion work. He

carefully checked all the way south, and

he did not slack off. However, there were a few places where there were few people living there and there was not enough labor, so the construction might not be completed on time. In this case, Xi made adjustments directly and deployed labor from farther away. He had the authority to do so.

After six days of inspection, he was not going to check the rest of the journey in person, and was going to hand it over to another assistant. At this time, a fast horse came.

"Witch Xi, the totem has arrived, and some steel has also been transported."

The knight got off the horse and said immediately.

"Okay."

Xi nodded, got up directly, mounted the giant wolf, and walked towards Nanjiangyan, while this side was handed over to his assistant to handle.

He wanted to get the totem and the steel, which he planned to use to reinforce the embankment in the future. However, the nearest iron-producing area was a bit far away, so transportation was inconvenient.

For this reason, geological experts have begun to search nearby, but they have not found any usable mineral veins yet.

Back at Nanjiangyan, the fish body here has already been built into a large piece.

The members of the Alliance can use the power of totems, and their physical strength and power are much stronger than ordinary people. This is the reason why they are so efficient at work.

He walked up to the fish body to check it out, and he was still very satisfied with its solidity. He was not in a hurry to let the totem melt the steel and pour it on, because it would delay the construction period.

"First, block the flow of Neijiang River along a straight line. This will make the expansion of Neijiang River much easier, and we can also deepen the river channel on the north side where the fish swim."

He instructed his assistant while walking on the embankment.

The assistant immediately nodded to show that he understood, and then hesitated.

"Just tell me if you have anything to say."

Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Xi spoke directly.

"I wonder if we can first pour molten steel into the west side of the temporary embankment to form a temporary embankment. In this way, it will be much easier to dismantle the embankment in the future."

The assistant said hesitantly, and Xi frowned and thought.

This solved one of his problems, which was how to dismantle the temporary embankment in the future.

Because the temporary dam was built from the north bank to the center, and this side happened to belong to Neijiang, it should be the low part of the riverbed.

But these piled up temporary dams are not easy to deal with. His method has solved this problem.

It’s just that when the temporary steel dam is dismantled in the future, a large amount of steel will sink into the riverbed, which is not a big problem.

The main thing is that these steels will be lost, and it will be very laborious to recover them.

"Recover these steels in the dry season."

Wei couldn't help but say the solution, and then looked at his assistant, who was a scholar who had been with him all year round and lived in the Chuanmo Temple.

"Okay, I'll follow your method, but don't rush. Don't interrupt the construction of the main body of the fish swimming. Wait until this side is built, and then use your method."

Xi finally smiled, because he thought of more.

If there is still a risk of flooding next year, prepare a few more totems and a lot of steel at key points.

If that doesn't work, build a temporary dam. Just drain the water outward. No matter where there is a problem, it will be in time to solve it after the flood period is over.

Once this idea came out, it was unstoppable. He knew that he would be busy again.

"Gather all the assistants together. I have some ideas to communicate."

Xi immediately ordered, and the assistant immediately took out a soothing machine, called a few words, and followed Xi to the shore.

Everyone gathered together, and Xi expressed his ideas, which were unanimously agreed by everyone.

"We need to prepare at the key points of the water flow, both the Heihe River and the Nanjiang River."

One of the assistants immediately expressed his opinion.

"Not just these two, but also select a few locations in the middle, where there must be places to discharge floodwaters and key places that are convenient for operation."

Xi added.

Everyone discussed for a while, and finally felt that they still had to go out and take a look.

So, a new round of running around began again.
