Chapter 45 (2/2)
Donne shook his head.
Are you kidding? Although Elsa has great strength, the load-bearing capacity of the river bank is not strong. I'm afraid she fell into the ground before she lifted it. Moreover, the strength of prandal's iron materials is not high. How can the place caught by her hands alone bear the weight of the whole waterwheel? Directly deformed.
What Elsa needs is the last time to set up a waterwheel.
A group of people lifted the water wheel onto the support, and the roller was perfectly embedded in it. Dunn expressed his satisfaction.
”Tie the support here with a rope, and then we divide it into two sides to set up the waterwheel.”
Donne commanded them to tie the rope, and then he and Elsa were on one side. As Elsa began to work hard, the huge waterwheel began to stand up slowly, and the others cheered.
However, Elsa may have done this kind of work for the first time. She couldn't grasp the power. After the waterwheel stood up, she began to pour into the river again!
Fortunately, Donne was ready and pulled up the rope in an instant to stop the waterwheel from toppling.
”God, Lord, your strength is so great!”
The guards were instantly stunned. It was the first time they saw Donne's strength.
”Yes! I'm afraid the Lord's strength is no less than Elsa's!”
”It is estimated that only people like Lord deserve Elsa.”
”Ha ha, yes, if others are with Elsa, they will be photographed if they quarrel. Lord is not afraid.”
Danny's eyes lit up and clenched his fist: ”I must be a strong man like the Lord!”
”Danny, stop daydreaming and work hard. The Lord appreciates you and promotes you to a near guard. You'll be great.”
Of course, Donne didn't pay attention to the discussion of those people below. He was balancing each other's strength with Elsa and making the water tanker stand there steadily.
When the water station was stable, Donne stamped his foot gently and secretly released a ”turn mud into stone” spell, which firmly fixed the bottom of the water truck with the river bank.
”All right!”
Donne waved to Elsa across the river. Elsa jumped into the river and swam back.
”Lord, can this really lift the water to a high place?”
Elsa twisted her hair and looked curiously at the waterwheel.
”I'll see later.”
Donne waved and motioned the people above to pull off the board to intercept the river. The calm river under the waterwheel flowed again, and then the waterwheel turned under the push of the current.
”Turn! Turn!”
”The bucket is full of water - up - ah! The water is pouring out!”
”God! It's like magic!”
The people of the guard and several farmers nearby screamed. It was incredible that the water was lifted to a high place without using any magic!
On the hills along the bank, the canal has been dug, and the headrace has been assembled. With the headrace being erected in place, the river water lifted to a high place by the waterwheel smoothly flows into the canal and runs along the canal to the dry farmland.
”Great! That's great!”
Those farmers were in tears. With this waterwheel, they no longer have to worry about water shortage in the farmland. They don't have to carry water for irrigation all day. They don't have to work so hard anymore!
”Thanks to Lord! If it weren't for Lord, who could have thought of such a magical way!”
”Yes! It's incredible. It's like magic... I still can't believe it!”
”Lord, it must have been sent by the gods to save Ellington. It's an angel of God!”
The more the farmers talked, the more excited they were. They all fell on their knees to Donne.
”Get up. Since you are my people, of course I will find a way to make you eat, wear warm and live a good life.”
Donne waved his hand and his heart was filled with exclamation, ”it's just like magic”. This was the second exclamation he had heard. It was a fight with Brian's exclamation of ”the beard of a hammer”. In a magical world, did these people even have the idea of using water and wind? All counting on magic to save them?
However, those magicians may not see these insignificant things
Donne is also very helpless. In fact, whether it's a press or a waterwheel, the most critical place is the power of magic. If it's not for magic, he can't realize the power of the press. If it's not for magic, he can't make qualified waterwheel bearings with the existing technology.
It's too difficult to completely abandon magic and use the power of industry to achieve all this. He didn't study mechanical engineering or advanced chemistry. Everything depends on the vague impression in his mind and the convenience of magic.
But Donne didn't think too much. He could do as much as he could. At least, he could make Ellington people live better and make himself live better
More comfortable. It's enough for the time being.
The emergence of waterwheel has solved the problem of the coming hot summer and drought, and iron agricultural tools have solved the problem of their work efficiency. These are related to the people's livelihood. When the people can see the hope of having enough to eat, his rule will be firm. Then the next thing to be solved is the problem of military strength that has not been seen for a long time.
