Inside was a device resembling a water wheel. The underground water pouring into the holes washed over those devices, causing the water-wheel-like contraptions to start operating.
As the water-wheel devices began to function, the numerous mechanisms within the subterranean space also sprang to life. Finally, one stone beam after another, each more than twenty meters wide, extended from the stone wall of the opposite cliff.
