Chapter 149 What did you say? (Additional chapter for 35,000 recommended votes)
Zhou Silang angrily opened the wedding candy and stuffed it into his mouth, staring at Manbao and asking, "What are you doing here?"
"Come and see Fourth Brother." Manbao said, "It's been a long time since I last saw you, Fourth Brother. I missed you so much."
Zhou Silang felt a little better, feeling much relieved. He coughed lightly and was about to speak when Bai Shanbao, who had come with him, ran up and grabbed Manbao, saying, "Go and see! I just saw a really big fish in the river."
Manbao immediately jumped up and asked, "How big is it?"
"This big, this big!" Bai Shanbao gestured, and he and Manbao were about to rush to the river to look for fish. The yamen runner immediately scolded them, "That's where the dam is being built. Stay away from them."
Daji, who had followed, quickly stepped forward to stop Bai Shanbao and Manbao, and whispered, "Master, let's go a little lower to take a look."
Outsiders are not allowed to enter the place where the laborers are working. The management of the dam construction is obviously much stricter than the management of the water conservancy construction last year.
Even Zhou Dalang and his men stayed away from doing business there. After all, if they got too close, there would be mud, sand, stones, wood, etc., which was not convenient.
At this time, everyone squatted not far from Zhou Dalang's stall to eat. Even those who did not buy soup and rice squatted beside it. It would be more delicious to eat just by smelling the food, right?
In the past two days, some people have noticed this business opportunity and set up two stalls next to Zhou's stall, both selling food.
At this time, the bailiff shouted loudly and everyone looked over.
Bai Shanbao was not afraid of the yamen runners. He often saw these yamen runners and soldiers when he was younger. Who of them would not bow and greet him when they saw him?
He was a little unhappy with Daji's advice. "We came here specifically to see the dam construction process. If we don't get close to see it, how can we know how the dam was built? What we see downstream is the water."
Manbao nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes."
Zhou Silang: ...You said you would come to see him?
Zhou Silang stuffed the steamed bun into his mouth, walked over with the bowl in hand, patted the yamen runner on the shoulder and said, "This is my sister, two little kids, they can't steal stones or wood. Let them go up and take a look."
The yamen runner finally relaxed and slapped Zhou Silang's hand away, saying, "Go away, go away! Who am I doing this for? Two babies who have just been weaned. If they fall into the water, will it be yours or mine? Is this your biological sister?"
"Dear, it's all ours," Zhou Silang said with a smile, "Don't worry, we're watching. Besides, it's not very cold. Let them fall. Just pick them up and shake them dry. My parents always say that if you fall into the water once, you'll know it's not something to play with. Let them go."
Yamen runner: ...
Bai Shanbao and Manbao both looked at the yamen runners eagerly.
The yamen runner was helpless and waved his hand, saying, "Okay, okay, go ahead, go ahead."
Who made him so soft-hearted? During this period, the Zhou family provided them with soup for free.
Manbao and Bai Shanbao cheered and ran to the river bank to look down.
Of course they couldn't see anything, they just knew what materials were used to build the dam, but Manbao could ask Keke.
Keke was helpless. He said, "Host, I am a system that records living things. Regarding architecture, I don't have any knowledge implanted in my chip."
"Ah," Manbao said, somewhat disappointedly, "so you don't know?"
"Not really." Although it doesn't have it in its own chip, it can search from the encyclopedia. To ensure the safety of the host, analyzing and weighing the safety of the host's environment is the most basic. Naturally, it can retrieve all the aspects involved from the encyclopedia.
but……
Forget it, I'd better tell her. Koko said, "Host, this is a very simple ancient dam. It can only store and release water. It doesn't store all the water, but slows down the flow from upstream to downstream to achieve the purpose of intercepting water resources..."
In Koko's opinion, such buildings really don't require much technology. According to the encyclopedia, in the ancient 20th century, humans had relatively advanced technology for casting dams, and at that time humans could even generate electricity through hydropower.
However, children have to take one step at a time, and the host also has to learn little by little. We can't let ancient humans learn ancient knowledge. Even if she wants to learn, she probably doesn't have the practical foundation.
Manbao had no idea that so much current was flashing through Koko's chip. Although Koko belittled the dam, Manbao still listened with great interest, and then conveyed it to Bai Shanbao in even more childish language based on his own understanding.
"See? There's a big hole between those pieces of wood. Water will flow down from there. If there's a lot of water up there, just pump that thing up, and the water will flow down quickly. Wow, can fish swim down there too?"
"That's for sure," Bai Shanbao imagined the scene and said, "If the current gets strong, the fish won't be able to return home. They'll definitely be washed down. Then we can start fishing again."
Manbao drooled and said, "We've finished eating all the fish at home. I really want to eat fish."
"Mine does too, but you have so much fish, how come you eat it so quickly?"
"Yes," Manbao said confidently, "My eldest brother sold most of them and ate the rest himself. It's a pity that our tank is not big enough, otherwise we could put more fish in it. My mother said that as long as the fish are alive, they can be kept for me to eat."
"You're so stupid! Can't you dig a pond at home? I already have a pond at home and I raise fish in it, but those fish don't seem to be edible."
Manbao laughed heartily, holding his belly with joy. "My house is so small, how can I dig a pond?"
Bai Shanbao also often went to Manbao's house to play. When he heard this, he laughed out loud, "I know. Dig a hole under your bed and put the fish in it. When you wake up and want to eat it, you can just reach out and catch it."
Manbao was unwilling and said, "Why not dig in my fourth and fifth brothers' rooms? There's more space there and can hold more fish."
The yamen runner and Zhou Silang who were standing by said: ...two brats.
Zhou Silang held back for a moment and asked, "Have you finished looking at it? Have you figured out how this dam was built?"
The bailiff was about to speak, but when he looked up, his face changed. He stood up straight and was about to salute, but was stopped by the visitor.
Manbao and Bai Shanbao were still squatting by the dam, their backs to the crowd. They faced the dam and said, "Almost done, almost done, Fourth Brother. You have to repair this dam properly. Our home is just downstream. This dam can not only release water, but most importantly, it can hold it back. It rains a lot in the summer. If it can't hold back the water, what if a huge flood rushes down and drowns me?"
Zhou Silang was standing next to Manbao. He rolled his eyes and said, "Just stay at home. If you get drowned, no one can stop you, okay?"
"Who said that? I need to go to school. The school is right next to the river. If the river rises, won't I be the first to be drowned?"
Zhou Silang thought about it and realized it was true. He couldn't help but chuckle, "If you don't behave in the future, I'll dig a hole in the dam and let the water go in to flood you."
County Magistrate Fu behind him: What did you say? Say it again
