The Divine Doctor and the Crazy Concubine: My princess is very cool

Shangguan Qingge took out the loudspeaker again and spoke.

"Fellow villagers, there is one more thing that requires everyone's concerted efforts. We don't know how long this drought will last. Mayor Li has told me the situation. My plan is this: during this period, everyone will eat here. I will lead everyone to dig out water. As long as there is water, the problem can be solved. If you believe in me, then follow me. Tomorrow morning, everyone will bring their tools and all the strong men will participate in digging wells. Soon everyone will have water to use!"

When the crowd heard this, they became excited. Yes, as long as there was a well, even just one well, they could survive.

"Old man Li, come with me, let's discuss digging a well."

"Then go to my study!"

"Ah."

The two went to the study and began to discuss the well digging. Old Man Li also drew a sketch of the terrain of Lijia Town. This place was indeed a small basin with relatively wide flat land. The place where the villagers lived was located in the middle and surrounded by fields. The usual water used was the reserved rainfall and spring water from the mountains. Shangguan Qingge originally wanted to use explosives to blow up the underground stone slabs, but he was afraid that if the stone slabs were a whole piece and were too close to the residential area, the explosion would cause a collapse. Seeing that the land here was relatively wide on the map, there was no need to be afraid.

Shangguan Qingge circled a place on the paper and indicated that they should dig there. This place was about two kilometers away from the residential area.

"Excuse me, miss, how do we solve the problem of stone slabs?" Old man Li was still worried whether the well could be dug successfully. After all, the stone was too hard and thick, and he didn't know how long it would take to dig it out by manpower.

"Don't worry about that. I have my own way. Just dig it first."

The day passed quickly, and on the next morning, Shangguan Qingge opened the door and found that many people had gathered in the yard. Not only men, but also some women were holding hoes to participate in digging the well. Shangguan Qingge was very pleased to see this. Who says that women are inferior to men? At critical moments, women can hold up half the sky.

She gathered around the crowd, took out the sketch from last night, and made arrangements. A group of people walked towards the designated location in a mighty manner. After a rough count of the number of people, it was almost two thousand. Some families had their entire families there, so there was no need to worry about not being able to dig out water!

After arriving at the location, Shangguan Qingge marked out an area of ​​about one acre, and then everyone started digging. They were digging from morning to night. There was no need to worry about the mayor, as she had prepared the day's food last night. Dong'er and Nanny Qin stayed in the yard to help, and someone came to deliver meals when it was time for dinner!

Everyone was very efficient and they had dug to the location of the stone slab in just three days.

"Miss, we've dug it up, come and see!" a man ran up to her and said. Shangguan Qingge saw the stone slab, which turned out to be marble. With the ancient iron-making technology and productivity, it was indeed not easy to break such a large and thick stone slab, but this was not a problem for her. She signaled everyone to dig thirty holes in the middle, about as deep as a wooden barrel. Such a large hole was of course used to place explosives. She had not been idle for the past three days, and had made more than thirty powerful time bombs in the Qiankun Circle. Except for diamonds, it was estimated that no stone could withstand its power!

The hole was quickly dug. Shangguan Qingge signaled everyone to pack up their tools, dig into the deep pit, find a place with cover and lie down. No one was allowed to come out without her order. She started to place bombs only when no one was within sight. After setting the time, she quickly moved away and found a cover to hide.

Time passed minute by minute, and the sound of "bang bang bang" was heard, even the earth trembled, the sound of collapse gradually became louder, and the sand and dust splashed by the explosion flew.

"Did you hear it? It seems like there is the sound of flowing water."

"I heard it. It was the sound of flowing water."

People stood up and saw that there was an underground river under the exploded deep pit. The huge stone slab was about five meters thick, and there was an underground river underneath.

"Miss, Miss, there is water, we have water!" Everyone hugged each other excitedly to celebrate this moment.

Shangguan Qingge tied the barrel with a rope and threw it down. He took a bucket of water and smelled it. There was no peculiar smell. He took out the test paper and tested it. There was no problem. The water was usable! But there was another problem. The pit was too deep and too far from where everyone lived. It was too troublesome to use it for domestic water or agricultural irrigation. If someone unfortunately fell and died here, it would be a waste of time.

"Everyone, thank you for your hard work today, but there is still a problem before us, that is how to get water. But don't worry, give me some time, I will help you solve it. Everyone go back and rest today, and I will let the mayor inform you when I have a solution." Shangguan Qingge said again through the loudspeaker. When everyone heard this, their excitement instantly fell. After packing up their tools, they all went home.

At night, Shangguan Qingge couldn't sleep anyway, thinking about the problem of getting water. In modern times, water can be pumped out with a pump, whether it is electric or diesel, there is always a pump. But this is in ancient times. Although there is a small pump in the Qiankun Circle, she can't teach everyone how to generate electricity, but she can't let people go down to get water. The pit is too deep, and the water flow below is too fast, it is easy to lose lives.

Feeling upset, she went into the Qiankun Circle and wanted to take a hot bath to relax. After the bath, she sat in front of the dressing table in her room thinking about a solution. Suddenly, she saw the photo on the wall. It was a photo of her and the Ferris wheel when her master took her to the amusement park when she was a child.

"Ferris wheel..." Suddenly she thought of it. Yes, if we can't use a pump, we can use other methods, such as a water wheel! Didn't the ancient people use a water wheel for agricultural irrigation? (The water wheel is one of the water conservancy irrigation tools in ancient China, also called "sky wheel", "bamboo wheel", "water wheel", etc., and its appearance is similar to the Ferris wheel.) Moreover, she observed this underground river today. The water flow is turbulent, and there are river banks on both sides below. The water wheel can be placed on it. Wouldn't it be possible to bring water up by using the water flow to push the main wheel?

Shangguan Qingge took out a pen and paper and began to draw a design sketch. The soil in this pit is about nine meters thick and the stone is about five meters thick. The surrounding soil needs to be thinned out first, leaving only the stone slabs. It is estimated that the size of the entire stone pit is about one hundred square meters, so it is no problem to build a simple car with a diameter of about six meters.

It took her three hours to draw the entire design, including where to divert water. There were several dry ponds in the village. As long as the water was diverted here and a drainage channel was dug, it would be no problem to create running water.

Early the next morning, Shangguan Qingge found Old Man Li with two big dark circles under her eyes. When Old Man Li saw the design drawings, he was impressed by her wisdom and instantly turned into an old fanboy, praising her with flattering words.

"Come on, come on, don't be obsessed with me. I'm just a legend. Go ahead and make the arrangements. Don't forget to ask everyone to dig the canal while making the simple car. I need to take a nap. I'm so sleepy!" After saying that, she went back to sleep. Old Man Li went to call on everyone to dig the canal, and at the same time arranged for the best carpenter in the town to work day and night.

Shangguan Qingge slept the whole day, and she slept so soundly!
