Chapter 0140 Open the gate!(1/2)
This sacrifice was held at Ye Qing's request.
The sacrifice should have been sacred and solemn, but now it has become festive and joyful.
In fact, this can no longer be considered a sacrifice, it can only be regarded as a celebration.
Ye Qing intentionally asked the patriarch to change the form of sacrifice.
He wanted to gradually fade the status of the gods in the minds of the tribesmen and eliminate the influence of the gods on the tribesmen.
Let the tribe members slowly realize their own strength, change their ideas, and form human-centered ideas.
This is a very difficult task.
But Ye Qing wanted to do it.
If you can't turn it around for a moment, then come little by little and change it in a subtle way.
This sacrifice, without offerings or bonfires, was an attempt he made.
Damp down the gods and highlight the human beings themselves.
Let the tribe members realize that the successful completion of this huge project, which lasted more than four months, was completed by the tribe members themselves.
There is no participation of the gods.
It has nothing to do with the gods.
The patriarch did not understand Ye Qing's request, and he could not understand Ye Qing's idea of "de-heaven and deified".
But he still accepted Ye Qing's request.
Sacrifice, for him, is just a long-term habit.
He also believes in the existence of the gods, but his treatment of the gods is different from other witches.
The other witches are intimidated and trembling in dealing with the gods, serving the gods wholeheartedly, and obeying the gods only...
Although the gods have never really given any divine intentions to anyone.
When dealing with the gods, the patriarch is like a businessman. When encountering unsolvable problems and difficulties that cannot be overcome, he is also extremely pious, extremely eager for the help of the gods, and willing to contribute everything.
At this time, he was serious.
And when everything goes well and is free of disaster or trouble, sacrifice is just a formality, just a habit.
At this time, he was casual.
The patriarch is a "heretic" who has been involved in the witch's team.
Ye Qing looked very familiar with this style of conduct, and it was called...what did it mean?
...
The sky is blue, without wind or clouds.
After the festive and joyful grand sacrifice, the trial operation of the brick making yard officially began.
All personnel are in their place.
On the spacious venue of the brick making yard, the jubilant tribe members gradually became quiet.
Countless eyes looked at Ye Qing together.
Ye Qing, located in the middle of the venue, held a wooden hammer and knocked heavily at the gong hanging on the shelf under the gaze of countless eyes.
Bang...
Bang...
Bang...
In the middle of the square, Ye Qing rang the gong and ordered:
"Open the gate!"
Around him, there was a tribe man holding a flag.
The flag is made of linen and dyed bright red with cinnabar.
The flag is rectangular, 1.44 meters long and 0.96 meters high.
The ratio of height and length is 2:3, the ratio is 0.6666666... This is the ratio of the national flag that is popular in modern times, which is approximately the golden ratio.
When Ye Qing was making the flag, he didn't think much about it and used it casually.
After hearing the order, the tribe member began to wave his flag.
On the dam dozens of meters away, at the junction of the water diversion channel and the reservoir, there was a tribe with the same red triangle flag. After seeing the flag waving, he immediately waved the red flag a few times.
The agreement means: I received the order to open the gate.
The tribesmen next to him immediately worked together to shake the winch and slowly lifted a gate.
Wow!
The water flows out of the gate and flows into the canal.
The water flow carries the remaining floating soil and debris at the bottom of the canal and rolls forward.
The waves slapped the slopes of the stones on both sides of the shore, splashing countless water droplets, wetting the embankment surface.
About two quarters of an hour later, the water drainage canal, which is more than 100 meters long, was filled with water.
The water level has also reached the expected height.
At this time, at the drainage gate on the dike dam of the water diversion channel, a tribe member who also held a red flag waved the red flag in his hand a few times.
The agreement means: the water level has reached the expected height.
Ye Qing ordered the gate to be opened again, and the tribe members around him who were raising the flag waved the flag again.
The flag-holding tribe members at the drainage gate waved the small flag and indicated that they had received the order.
Then the tribesmen around him who were responsible for opening the gates opened the gates of the drainage gates.
Wow...
The water flows like a white dragon, rushing down.
The smooth waterway composed of straight stone slabs along the way did not hinder the water flow.
The rapid flow of water did not splash any water, but only slight ripples appeared on the water surface.
The 20-meter water drainage gateway was not long. The rapid water flowed quickly through the entire gateway, gushing out from the end, impacting the page wheel of the water truck.
The huge water truck standing tall suddenly shook.
Click!
The waterwheel made a sound.
Then, slowly rotate.
Crunch!
Crunch!
As countless water droplets on the page wheel drizzle and continue to spill, the water wheel rotates faster and faster.
Not long after, the speed of the page wheel reached the highest.
The crunch also turns into a fixed rhythm.
The operation of the water truck stabilized.
Ye Qing had already arrived in front of the water wheel.
He carefully checked the various parts of the waterwheel.
He was very satisfied with no problems.
He walked to a lever.
Here is a clutch, connecting the main shaft of the water truck and the brick making machine, controlling the kinetic energy converted from hydraulic power and transmitting it to the brick making machine.
Ye Qing pulled down the control lever under the curious and expectant gaze of the tribe members.
Kick!
Rumble!
The waterwheel and brick making machine emitted a violent vibration at the same time.
The people surrounding the tribe were startled and a panic and fearful expression appeared on their faces.
They have never heard of the huge noise of machines.
Unknown things are always terrifying.
They are lucky people, and they have the honor of witnessing the arrival of a great era.
Waterwheel, they don't know it.
Bearings, gears, clutches, screw rods...
