Chapter 21 Drainage
below the trough.

The slopes spread.

People gather here.

Two similar waterwheels stand here.

One waterwheel was made by Gabriel, and the other was made by Gabriel for imitation.

The main purpose is to support the two waterwheels to minimize the danger here.

Looking up is the natural wall in the valley above.

Behind you is Luobo Town.

The mayor looked up, with a solemn expression behind him.

If he had a choice, he really didn't want to make such a difficult choice.

After looking at Luobo Town behind him for a long time, the mayor spoke slowly.

"Is everyone evacuated?"

"Including the elderly and children, people have already evacuated." Xiao Bo stood up from behind and hurriedly replied.

"Really?" the mayor looked at Luobo Town and muttered to himself.

His gaze turned to the top of the trough again, and to Luobo Town again.

After a long time, the mayor finally made the final decision.

"Let's do it, everyone." The mayor closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Yes."

"Everyone is working."

The mayor spoke, and everyone started to act.

"Xiao Bo, Anan, go and see the smallest bearing area of ​​the leaf."

"Rotkaka, Shuraluo, go and determine the approximate route for the water to reach the creek."

A tall man in a blue kimono stepped out.

With the command of this man, everyone started to work in an orderly manner.

Some of them went to the waterwheel to check the width of its fan blades and the size it could accommodate.

Part of it simply dug out an approximate route from the water above to the creek.

The division of labor is clear, and everyone will soon collect good data.

Everyone sent the data back.

Hashimoto frowned looking at the data sent back.

"One meter wide and half a meter deep?"

To be honest with this data, he is not very satisfied.

He always felt that this data was the average width and length of the fan blade itself.

Shaking his head, Hashimoto was still going to look at the ditch before talking.

Come to the bottom of the trough and look up from the bottom.

A winding line like a small snake is realized.

Although it looks like this, the line is winding and winding, leaving a large distance.

But as far as this route is concerned, Hashimoto still thinks it is good.

Deliberately elongate the line and avoid sharp turns.

In this way, safety can be pulled to the extreme.

The route is determined, Hashimoto is still going to take a look at the size of the leaf.

After all, the matter is of great importance, and he doesn't want anything to go wrong with him.

Come to the waterwheel.

He leaned over and took a rough look at the planks at the fan blades.

"Nine centimeters long and six centimeters high."

I tested the distance with hand gestures, and probably got the data.

Looking at this data and thinking about the data sent back just now, Hashimoto couldn't help frowning.

Fortunately, he didn't listen to that data, otherwise he would definitely make a big mistake.

After all, no matter how you think about a ditch that is one meter wide and half a meter deep, the waterwheel can't open its blades at all.

In the end, Hashimoto revised the data to a ditch with a width of 1.2 meters and a depth of one meter.

Although the workload has increased a lot in this way, it has also stabilized a lot.

The line and depth and width of the ditch were standardized, and everyone started digging.

Excavation work spread up from this side of the creek.

Its purpose is to avoid accidentally digging through the wall and water rushing down.

When digging to the top, everyone's strength was obviously much weaker.

At the same time, the scope of digging around has also expanded a lot.

Although it is stipulated that the width is one meter, but it seems that the width may not be three meters.

"I said, lighten up, the wall is above."

"The soil here is so hard that I can't dig it any lighter."

"Okay, okay, you go to the side to dig, and leave it to me here."

"Just go, I'm afraid you won't succeed."

"..."

Under the panic of everyone, the ditch on the slope was finally dug.

In this way the ditch to the creek from above the valley was dug.

The ditches were dug and the waterwheels built.

A waterwheel was fixed directly below the slope to ease the impact of the huge impact of the water.

There is another fixed at the second corner of the ditch.

Behind the corner is Robb Town.

In this way, the flow formed at the corner is not only eased, but also the risk of flooding Luobo Town is greatly reduced.

The ditches were built and the waterwheels were built.

Here comes the most important point.

That is to open the gate and release the water.

The choice fell on the head of the mayor.

As long as the mayor gives an order.

Everyone will break the wall and drain the excess water from the valley.

It's just that the mayor looked at the wall above and fell into deep thought again.

He knew it was a gamble after all.

Although I tried this waterwheel in the small river just now, it worked.

But the water flow above cannot be compared with the water flow of the small river.

"What, why don't you turn on the water?" Gabriel walked up to the mayor and asked suspiciously.

The mayor glanced at Gabriel, and then looked at Luobo Town behind him.

Looking at the crowd, the mayor sighed bitterly and said a word in a low voice.

"Let's let the water go." These words seemed to exhaust the mayor's energy.

The mayor fell into a slump after saying that.

"Let the water go!"

The mayor gave an order.

The crowd began to smash the walls with hammers.

A big hole was smashed into the wall with two or three blows of the hammer.

The water flowed out along the big pit.

The water flow at the beginning is very small and flows out slowly.

As the cracks in the middle of the pit became more and more, the water suddenly broke through the only remaining thin wall.

The water gushes and cascades down.

The huge impact made everyone retreat subconsciously.

A huge stream of water flowed towards the waterwheel and hit a thick plank.

Everyone's eyes came to stare at the same.

They understand that this moment is the moment that decides the fate of their Robb Town.

"Yes, I must pass!"

"Waterwheel, you must hold on."

"Don't have an accident, don't!"

Everyone held their breath and looked at the waterwheel. At this moment, the world stopped turning.

The water hits the waterwheel, and the thick wooden planks turn immediately.

There are extra long bars on the round shaft, and the wooden plank turns to make a "hum, hum, hum." sound.

The water flowed through, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The water flow reaches the second waterwheel.

Everyone's mood at this time is not as dignified as before.

But with a "click" sound, a thick plank of the waterwheel broke and flowed downward along the water flow.

At this moment, the people hanging around couldn't help but raised their throats, they were deeply afraid that the waterwheel would go wrong again.

Fortunately, it was only a thick wooden board that was not fixed firmly. As the waterwheel continued to rotate, the two waterwheels gradually leveled off.

The waterwheel was working steadily, and everyone looked at each other. They had only one thought at this moment.

Who the hell made the waterwheel so carelessly.

When the rushing water submerges into the creek, it is already ordinary flowing water.

The mayor's tense emotions after seeing this scene were also relieved at this moment.

Looking at Mayor Gabriel, his face was full of gratitude.

Walking tremblingly with a cane on, he knelt down on the ground with a "plop".

"Thank you little friend for your help, little friend's great kindness, we in Luobo Town will never forget it." The mayor said excitedly, and tears flowed from the tear box as he spoke.

"Uh... the old man thanked me and I accepted it, but, you, can you get up first." Gabriel saw the mayor's operation and couldn't help but hurriedly helped the mayor up.

"Thank you young hero for your great kindness, we in Luobo Town will never forget it." When many people saw the mayor coming to thank him, they knelt down on the ground to thank without pretense.

"I said what are you doing! Can you get up first, I accept the words of thanks, you guys..." Gabriel frowned and his mouth twitched when he saw so many people kneeling down.

As a good young man, he really couldn't accept this kind of picture.
