Chapter 557 (1/2)
Building roads, repairing embankments, plucking wheat, and driving tractors are the ”four tiresome” recognized by later generations.
Now there is no tractor, so there is no way to drive. But whether it's building roads, building embankments, or pulling wheat, now the Cherokee people have started.
Needless to say, it's about food. It's something that every tribe attaches great importance to. It's also an annual event of the whole tribe.
Similarly, road construction is also a big project of the tribe, which involves the power of the whole tribe.
For example, the road from Shangjing to monongahira and then to Daqingshan base, and the road from Shangjing to southwest, northwest and Southeast, are undoubtedly major projects of the tribe.
Now, the stone bear has begun to put on the table the work of building dykes, that is, digging canals, which is also the top priority of the tribe.
It's just that compared with road construction, digging canals can be delayed a little bit. At least the two man-made canals to be dug now will not start until May.
Jorah krulu left the relevant surveying and mapping personnel, followed the stone bear and the red cloud that came here with him, and came to the Niagara Falls.
”How beautiful! What a spectacle! Standing here, I just feel so small! ” Standing on the West Bank of the waterfall, Hongyun is intoxicated with his eyes, staring at the magnificent waterfall and mumbling to himself. Naturally, no one else can hear this. The roar here is too loud.
”Do you know? In the inheritance of our ancestors, there was a legend of Niagara Falls long ago. It's a pity that we haven't seen the waterfall until now. However, now that we see the waterfall, it means that we have returned to our ancestral place! It's not far away from our ancestral land! ” Hongyun exclaimed excitedly that as the high priest of kabulu, she naturally knew the inheritance of many tribes. She also knows about the heritage of the waterfall.
In fact, before the Cherokees were driven out of the Great Lakes, they lived near Niagara Falls. The name ”Niagara” actually comes from the Iroquois language, which means ”water of Thor”.
Because the huge roar of the waterfall in the eyes of the Iroquois or the Cherokees, is the God of thunder in the sky talking!
Niagara Falls is divided into two parts because of the division of Gongyang island. The waterfall in the south of Gongyang island is the largest. Because it is horseshoe shaped, it is called ”horseshoe waterfall”. At the same time, because this waterfall is located in Canada, it is also called Canadian waterfall.
The waterfall to the north of Gongyang island is also called ”American waterfall” because it is located in the United States.
It is worth mentioning that among the American waterfalls, there is a small island called Moon Island, which is less than 20 meters away from Gongyang island. The American waterfall is divided into a small waterfall less than 20 meters wide, which is called ”bride's veil waterfall”.
Niagara Falls is recognized as the world's largest waterfall in the future. If it comes in the rainy season, it will be shocking.
But it's not the wet season yet, and there are even some ice layers on the Bank of the Niagara River, so the waterfall is not the most spectacular time.
But even so, all the people who saw the waterfall were awed by the magnificence of the waterfall.
Stone bear has never seen Niagara Falls in his previous life. He just saw it in the picture. The effect can be seen from the picture, far less than one in ten thousand that I saw with my own eyes!
Therefore, even the stone bear is restrained by the supernatural nature of heaven and earth.
Although it is a dry season, there is no hydropower station at this time.
In order to make use of the huge water resources of Niagara River, 70% of the water of Niagara Falls is used for power generation. Less than a third of the water flows through the falls.
