After sending someone to explore the upper reaches, Claire spread out the map again.
Just looking for the reason, the specific water problem has not yet been solved. The water cloud beast can cast rain, but it will be exhausted after casting it once. It is impossible to satisfy all the needs of water in the entire viscount territory. The village, and I have said before, if a lot of groundwater sources are drawn, it may cause the ground to collapse.
Claire quickly found what she wanted on the map - lake water!
The source of the river will dry up immediately, but the lake water is different. It is a lake formed by the influx of river water. There are more in and less out. Even if the river is depleted, the lake water can last for a long time, and the water storage capacity is huge, it should be able to take come for a while.
Claire marked the lakes in the Viscounty territory with a pen, and then shouted: "Take people, let's go and see these places!"
The knights quickly geared up, and Isaac put a flying spell on himself and Regan, and he rode too slowly.
Claire rode the wolf king at the front, galloping towards the nearest lake at a very fast speed.
The further you go to the depths where people are rare, the more beasts appear. Sometimes you can see several first-level monsters, but those low-level monsters feel the aura of the wolves and then hide away from them, not daring to. Come to provoke.
The speed of the hurricane wolf was very fast, and it didn't take many minutes to arrive at the destination.
Claire got off the wolf king and walked to the lake to observe. The water volume here has not decreased, and it still looks like a sparkling water.
Claire shouted to Isaac: "Isaac, give me a flight, I want to see it in the air."
Isaac put a flying technique on Claire, and followed Claire to the sky.
Looking down from the top, the information obtained is much more intuitive than viewing it on the ground.
Claire took out the map and looked at it, and combined with the terrain below, he said to himself: "This place is not far from the river, and the water volume is abundant. The only disadvantage is that it is low-lying, and it is difficult to obtain water. You cannot directly dig a ditch to divert water. "
Rolling up the map, Claire hurried over to the location of the next lake. For the lakes close to the river, Claire took people to the field to investigate, taking the advantages and disadvantages of those lakes in mind. .
Claire rode on the wolf king and pondered, "If the water in the lake can be drawn out and used in a throttling manner, it should be able to last for more than half a month and twenty days. After Crane and the others come back, they will Solve the problems that arise, and there should be no problems."
"But the only difficulty now is how to get the water from the lake into the river."
Those lakes are all in low-lying places, and it is impossible to directly open a ditch to lead the water out. It can be done with magic, but it is a waste. Arrange for Isaac, the strongest spell in the Viscount, to pump it. Even if his magic power is dried up, it may not be able to extract the amount of water needed in a village from the lake water.
Claire pondered for a while, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she patted the wolf king's dog's head under the crotch.
"After staying here for a long time, I have become accustomed to thinking like a wizard, and I have forgotten modern technology."
The wolf king raised his head and murmured a few times before complaining about his dissatisfaction, but Claire ignored it and turned to Isaac.
"Isaac, I came up with another fun one, let's do it together!"
"Ah? You haven't solved the problem of the river drying up?"
"Get this thing out and it will be solved!" Claire smiled confidently.
Isaac was also interested. "What?"
"pump!"
"What is this?"
"Literally, the lake water can be pumped out and discharged into the river," Claire explained.
"Okay! I haven't seen such a thing before, when will it be made?"
Claire glanced at the sky. After hours of tossing and turning, the sun was slowly setting on the west mountain, leaving only the clouds illuminated by the afterglow.
"Go back now, let's go to the smithy in Tecklin and try to get it out tomorrow."
…
The three spent another whole night in the blacksmith shop. In the early morning, Claire asked Regan to take the water cloud beast out of the city to help water some rainwater in those villages.
At first, Shuiyun Beast was reluctant to leave Claire, but after persuading him a few words, he still followed Regan out of the city, but kept floating on top of Regan's head. Although it wasn't raining, Regan always felt a little awkward.
Although it can't help all the villages, it can help a little bit. The poles have also spread in various villages. It should be able to support for a while. After I get the pump out, the water problem can be alleviated for a period of time.
Near noon, with the last hammer of Teklin, the modified version of the water pump came out.
The principle of this magic modified pump is similar to that of the centrifugal pump in the previous life. The power source is the magic in the magic mine. Isaac's transformation uses the magic as the power to drive the impeller in the pump to rotate, and the liquid gains energy under the action of inertial centrifugal force. When the impeller rotates rapidly, the blades make the water rotate quickly, and the rotating water flies away from the impeller under the action of centrifugal force. After the water in the pump is thrown out, the central part of the impeller forms a vacuum area. The water of the water source is pressed into the water inlet pipe through the pipe network under the action of atmospheric pressure or water pressure, so that continuous water pumping can be realized.
In order to make the blade rotate at high speed, Isaac and Claire specially made a magic component to provide power. Once the magic power flows in, the magic component will rotate at a high speed. After the blade is installed on it, the impeller can also follow the high speed. Rotating it, it's a lot simpler than the motor and diesel engine of the previous life.
Isaac couldn't help caressing the brand-new magical machine with his hands, and sighed: "I really didn't come to the wrong place. You can always come up with such strange and novel things."
He continued: "Let's go, I can't help but want to see it draw water!"
Isaac is eager to see the results of the magical machine he built himself.
Claire put all the hoses that Teklin made into the space ring, and then responded: "Don't worry, go when you're ready."
Ticklen slumped on the ground tired, "Although it's really interesting, it's not the same as what I made before, but it's too tiring, I ask for a two-day rest! Don't come to me these two days. It's gone!"
The manufacturing process was not smooth. During the process, Isaac and Claire overturned a lot of templates. Tecklin had to knock the finished product into metal ingots and continue to build it according to their ideas, as well as the hose Claire requested. Forging is not only about hammering iron, but also involves various aspects. If it is not for high-level forging, it may not be possible to get it out.
Claire didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "That's right!"
Claire found the tauren hammer at the construction site of the Academy of Sciences, and told them to stop their work and go out of the city with a hoe.
Afterwards, they went to various villages and asked them to block up the river channels, so that the water from the lake could not be intercepted after it flowed down and used to irrigate the farmland.
Then the tauren was taken to the previous lake, and they waved their hoes to open a tunnel leading to the river.
There is a specialization in the art industry. The tauren people are very powerful and the speed of digging the ground is first-class. It took less than a few hours to make a tunnel.
Isaac took the initiative to pick up the water pump, "I'll come, I'll come!"
Then I put a hose on the water pump, put a flying technique on myself, and slowly flew to the center of the lake. After throwing the hose into the center of the lake, it came back again. The tube and the interior are filled with water,
Then, he took out a piece of magic ore from a pigeon egg from the space ring and inserted it into it. The magic power began to flow, and the water pump shook quickly.
Isaac crouched at the water outlet, looking expectantly, like a child seeing something new.
"gurgling!"
As soon as he heard the sound of the water, Isaac immediately leaned his hand on the water outlet with excitement, and the rushing water washed his hand away, but Isaac had a smile on his face.
"It's really interesting, this thing." Isaac couldn't help but admire the hose that kept coming out.
The gushing water flowed along the tunnel dug by the Tauren people, and after entering the tunnel, it slowly rushed towards the dry river according to the calculated route.
The tauren stood on the shore, watching the gushing lake water and stopped curiously to watch.
The hammer splashed the water in the tunnel with his hand and sighed: "Our viscount is really talented!"
