Chapter 935 Shang Hai: An Unreasonable City

Fu Yang's mouth was wide open and he could stuff an egg: "I... Damn! I don't know, I was shocked when I saw it. I was still surprised before. There was no big river in Shanghai that really flowed through the city. The river closest to this sluice gate is also the largest inland river in the city, the Suzhou River. It's just a small amount of water, less than two meters deep. How could such a huge sluice gate be built? Now I know it is simply shocking."

Weike nodded in vainly, with a strong shock flashing in his eyes.

Even the ghost king was shocked by the hydrological geography of the Shanghai area. Why?

The main problem lies in the Suzhou River...

The Suzhou River starts from Beixinjing, flows through Putuo District, Jing'an District, Hongkou District, Huangpu District in Shanghai, and ends at the mouth of Waibaidu Bridge. Finally, it merges into the vast Huangpu River at Waibaidu Bridge.

The Suzhou River is a small river.

The width is only about twenty meters, the flow rate is only 10 cubic meters per second on average, and it is even close to zero during the dry season. The water depth is about 2 meters at low water levels.

This seems to be something that most citizens in East China are more familiar with.

However, this is not the case in the history of China!

The Suzhou River used to be a huge river, and the truth made people feel terrifying.

The name Suzhou River was mainly called Wusong River in ancient times; when it was a little older, it was also called Songjiang.

According to many official historical records, the average width of the river surface of Songjiang for a long time in history was more than ten kilometers!!!

The river is wide and surging. There is a poem that says: The water in Wusong is coming, and the waves are vast and thunder are roaring!

Even until the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Songjiang River section in the Qingpu area of ​​Shanghai City was still "nine miles wide", and the widest part of the river mouth was trumpet-shaped, 20 miles wide. Therefore, there is also the saying "The ancient Wusong River has a deep and wide road, which can rival a thousand pavilions."

From the end of the Northern Song Dynasty to the present, there has been no more than a thousand years, about nine hundred years.

In just a few hundred years, a huge river has rapidly shrunk from nearly 5,000 meters wide to the current 20 meters?

This terrifying contrast and shrinking speed may not be enough to describe it as "unbelievable"!

By the Yuan Dynasty, the Wusong River had shrunk to seven or eight miles. Moreover, the silt at the entrance of the sea often accumulated, and sea water was often poured backwards. In order to avoid this situation, the court at that time asked Ren Renfa to go to Shanghai to manage the waterway and finally built this huge river-blocking gate.

Through the two-way gate, the waterway of the wide Wusong River is kept open.

This information is not even information from the supernatural world, but is recorded in the official history of ordinary people!

These alone make people feel cold and creepy.

Fu Yang's eyes were dull and muttered to himself: "In other words, almost in the Qin and Han dynasties, the urban area of ​​Shanghai today was still 80% of the area, and they were still sinking deep underwater?"

Weike nodded: "I'm afraid it's right! Even Chongming Island, the third largest island in China, only surfaced in the Tang Dynasty and then formed. The time is really too short, it is abnormally short."

That's right!

The Demon City Shanghai...

This is really like a mysterious city!

What kind of amazing secret is hidden under the surface of an extremely prosperous modern city?!

In a period of one or two thousand years, it has completed a normal process that takes one or two million years. If we look at the geological perspective, this city will not appear at all...

"It's really amazing! I was scared."

Fu Yang touched his chest.

He vaguely felt that there should be a huge secret hidden here. And this secret, just revealing the tip of the iceberg, may ruin all the views and be subversive.

And based on intuition, Fu Yang felt that this magical Yuan Dynasty sluice ruins were part of this shocking secret!

The couple sighed for a long time before their minds stabilized and their emotions calmed down.

Fu Yang chuckled: "I didn't expect that we can be said to be the overlords of one of the supernatural worlds. We were actually shocked by the official history of ordinary people."

Weike was a little unanimous: "If people in non-spirituals know this, they may be inspiring. It's a pity that in this era, everyone is working hard to make money. They are all concerned about the economy and buying houses and cars. How many ordinary people will care about this unpopular knowledge and information?"

What she said makes sense indeed.

I'm afraid that only they are supernatural powerhouses who have no worries about food, clothing, housing and transportation, or some powerful elites among ordinary people, will they have the heart to explore these secrets hidden under the seemingly ordinary world?

"Okay, let's not sigh. There should be nothing that Wang Jian is interested in in this glass corridor that ordinary tourists can visit. It's better to go to the core location of the sluice gate."

Fu Yang held Veco's hand and pointed to the last position of the entire visit.

It was also a platform, but at the lowest point of the entire sluice site!

There is a section extending out in front of you, and you can see the magnificent gate and flood discharge entrance of the sluice gate at the closest distance. It is like a gate leading to another world, very mysterious and vicissitudes.

Fu Yang walked over and stared at the spectacular sluice gate ruins.

Hundreds of years have passed, and after some renovation, it is still shocking. You can hear the turbulent waves and magnificent roars in your ears!

"The bottom of this gate is nearly ten meters high after the repair. I can't believe how grand the complete gate was in that year."

He sighed.

But thinking about it is, too.

The Suzhou River at that time was not like this now, but it was only twenty meters wide. Even if it was partially blocked, it was as wide as ten miles of rivers!

What superb skills does it take to build a sluice at such an entrance? How powerful supernatural spells are needed to cooperate?

Weike walked over and was about to speak: "Husband, this..."

Buzz!!!

Abnormal mutations occur!

The walnut-sized black stone in Fu Yang's pocket suddenly began to tremble violently and emitted a faint light. It flew out automatically and floated in front of him.

Fortunately, although the Yuan Dynasty Sluice Ruins Museum is of great significance, it is a very, very unpopular place in society, and there are almost no one on weekdays. Otherwise, ordinary people would probably be shocked to see Fu Yang's scene.

At the moment when the black stone shines, a strong light bursts out from the dilapidated and repaired ancient sluice gates in front of you!

Of course, it just flashed for less than a second and disappeared. Chapter 2 of today is over)
