After sending people to explore the upper reaches, Claire spread out the map again.
I was just looking for the reason. The specific water problem has not been solved yet. Water Cloud Beast can make rain, but it will be exhausted after one use. It is impossible to satisfy all the villages in the entire viscounty that need water. And as I said before, if a large amount of underground water is drawn, it may cause the ground to collapse.
Claire quickly found what he wanted on the map - lake water!
The river will dry up immediately if the source upstream is gone, but the lake is different. It is originally a lake formed by the influx of river water. More water flows in and less water flows out. Even if the river water dries up, the lake water can last for a long time, and the water storage capacity is huge. It should be able to be used for a period of time.
Claire marked the lakes in the viscounty territory with a pen, and then shouted, "Bring someone with you, let's go check out these places!"
The knights quickly got ready, and Isaac also put Flying Spell on himself and Regan. He was riding too slowly.
Claire rode the Wolf King at the front, galloping towards the nearest lake at an extremely fast speed.
The further you go into the depths where human traces are rare, the more wild beasts appear. Sometimes you can see several first-level monsters, but those low-level monsters feel the aura of the wolves and stay far away, not daring to come and provoke them.
Gale Wolf was very fast and arrived at the destination in just a few minutes.
Claire got off the Wolf King and walked to the lake to observe. As expected, the amount of water here has not decreased and the water is still sparkling.
Claire shouted to Isaac, "Isaac, give me a Flying Spell, I want to take a look in the air."
Isaac also put a Flying Spell on Claire, and flew to high altitude with Claire.
Looking down from above, the information obtained is much more intuitive than when viewed from the ground.
Claire took out the map and looked through it, and said to himself based on the terrain he saw below, "It's not far from the river here, and the water is abundant. The only drawback is the low-lying land, which makes it difficult to get water. We can't directly dig a ditch to divert water."
Rolling up the map, Claire rushed towards the location of the next lake. Claire took people to conduct on-site inspections of all the lakes that were close to the river, keeping in mind the advantages and disadvantages of those lakes.
Claire sat on the Wolf King and pondered, "If we can divert the water from the lake and use it at a reduced rate, it should be able to last for more than half a month and twenty days. After Kellan and the others come back, we can solve the problems according to the problems that arise, and there should be no problem."
"But the only difficulty now is how to divert water from the lake to the river."
Those lakes are in low-lying areas, and it is impossible to directly open a ditch to draw the water out. It can be done with magic, but even if some useless person arranges Isaac, the most powerful spell in the Viscounty, and drains his magic power, he may not be able to extract the amount of water needed for a village from the lake.
Claire held his chin and thought for a while, then suddenly his eyes lit up and he patted the Wolf King's dog's head hard on his crotch.
"After staying here for a long time, I have become accustomed to thinking like a mage. I have forgotten about modern technology."
The wolf king raised his head and growled a few times, then complained about his dissatisfaction, but Claire ignored it and turned to Isaac.
"Isaac, I've come up with something fun again, let's go do it together!"
"Ah? You won't solve the problem of river depletion?"
"Get this thing out and it will be solved!" Claire said with a confident smile.
Isaac also became interested, "What is it?"
"Water Pump!"
"What is this?"
"It literally means that the lake water can be pumped out and discharged into the river." Claire explained.
"Okay! I haven't seen anything like this before. When will it be done?"
Claire glanced at the sky. After several hours of tossing, the sun now slowly set over the Western Mountain, leaving only the afterglow shining on the clouds.
"Go back now. Let's go to Teklin's blacksmith shop and try to get it out tomorrow."
The three of them stayed in the blacksmith shop all night again. In the early morning, Claire asked Regan to take Water Cloud Beast out of the city and go to the villages to help water some rainwater.
At first Water Cloud Beast was reluctant to leave Claire, but after a few words of persuasion, he still followed Regan out of the city, but kept floating above Regan's head. Although it didn't rain, Regan always felt a little awkward.
Although it cannot help all the villages, it can help a little. The pole has been spread among the villages, and it should be able to support it for a while. After I get Water Pump out, the water problem will be alleviated for a while.
Near noon, with the final blow from Teklin, the magically modified version of Water Pump came out.
The principle of this magic modification Water Pump is similar to the principle of the centrifugal pump in the previous life. The power source is the magic power in Magic Ore. The transformation of Isaac uses the magic power as the power to drive Water Pump. The impeller in rotates, and the liquid gains energy under the action of inertial centrifugal force and increases the pressure. When the impeller rotates rapidly, the blades cause the water to rotate quickly. The rotating water flies away from the impeller under the action of centrifugal force. After the water in the pump is thrown out, a vacuum area is formed in the center of the impeller. The water from the water source is pressed into the water inlet pipe through the pipe network under the action of atmospheric pressure or water pressure. In this way, continuous water circulation can be achieved.
In order to make the blades rotate at high speed, Isaac and Claire specially created a magic component to provide power. Once magic flows in, the magic component will rotate at high speed. After the blades are installed on it, the impeller can also rotate at high speed. This is much simpler than the motors and diesel engines of the previous life.
Isaac couldn't help but caress the brand new magic 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 pump out the water!"
Isaac is eager to see the results of the magic machine he built with his own hands.
Claire put all the hoses that Teklin took out into Spatial Ring, and then responded, "Don't worry, go when you are fully prepared."
Teklin was so tired that he slumped down on the ground. "Although it is indeed interesting and completely different from what I have refined before, it is too tiring. I ask for two days of rest! Don't come to me again these two days!"
The manufacturing process was not smooth. During the process, Isaac and Claire overturned many templates. Teklin had to knock the finished product into metal ingots and continue to build it according to their ideas. There was also the hose required by Claire. The forging was not only hammer iron, but also involved various aspects. If it were not for its high level of forging, it might not be possible to make it.
Claire couldn't laugh or cry, "That's right!"
Claire found Minotaur Iron Hammer at Academy of Sciences's construction site, and asked them to stop what they were doing and follow them out of the city with their hoes.
Then he went to various villages and asked them to block the rivers to prevent the lake water from flowing down and not being able to intercept it and use it to irrigate farmland.
Then he took the Minotaurs to the previous lake and asked them to use their hoes to dig out a tunnel leading to the river.
There are specialties in the art, Minotaurs are very strong, and their digging speed is top-notch, and they can create a tunnel in less than a few hours.
Isaac took the initiative to hug Water Pump, "I'll come, I'll come!"
Then he installed a hose on Water Pump, put a Flying Spell on himself, and slowly flew to the center of the lake. After throwing the hose into the center of the lake, he came back and filled the hose and interior of Water Pump with water.
Then he took out a piece of pigeon egg Magic Ore from Spatial Ring and inserted it into it. The magic power began to flow, and Water Pump also began to shake rapidly.
Isaac squatted at the water outlet and looked expectantly, like a child seeing something new.
"Gong Cong!"
As soon as he heard the sound of water flowing, Isaac immediately excitedly put his hand against the water outlet. The rushing water washed away his hand, but Isaac had a smile on his face.
"It's really interesting, this thing." Isaac couldn't help but admired as he looked at the hose that was constantly pumping out water.
The gushing water flowed along the tunnel dug by Minotaur. After entering the tunnel, it slowly followed the calculated route and rushed towards the dry river.
Minotaur stood on the shore, looking at the gushing water of the lake, and they all stopped to watch curiously.
Iron Hammer splashed the water in the tunnel with his hand and sighed, "Our Lord Viscount is really a talent!"
Thanks to "Kong" for his two monthly passes, "The God of Barbarians" for his one monthly pass, "Manjuan Shuye" for his reward of one hundred starting coins, and "Misiad" for his reward of five hundred starting coins!!!!!
Don't worry, everyone, the framework of the world is still a Western fantasy world, and it will be the same in the future. The emergence of modern technology is just a small episode, and it is mainly based on other worlds and magic.
