Water, the source of all things, moistens the land.

"Since ancient times, farmland irrigation often requires the use of water from rivers. This requires artificial ditches on the ground to be introduced into the farmland.”

"Usually, such waterways are called canals. Ordinary canals are made of stone or cement.”

"Because there is no connecting area between the Little Elephant Mountain and the Cliff Mountain, if we want to build a canal, we won't use stones or cement.”

Wang Chao said to the netizens in the live broadcast room as he walked towards the bamboo forest.

"Then, Brother Chao, how are you going to repair the canal?"

"Brother Chao, give up. You can't save that barren mountain.”

"I'm going to use bamboo to build an artificial canal.”

Wang Chao had just finished speaking.

"What? Bamboo?"

"I've never seen bamboo make a canal!”

"Brother Chao, keep boasting. Even if you really build it, the first year of free contract is probably up.”

"The previous ones are too exaggerated. At most half a year!”

After entering the bamboo forest, Wang Chao took out a chopper from his bamboo basket.

Fortunately, he had brought a bamboo basket and some common tools with him when he left home.

It seemed that these were all things that he would always keep when he went out in the future!

He knocked on the surface of a few bamboos and heard a crisp sound.

He immediately cut down a few bamboos.

"This bamboo is it."

The amount of work required to make the canal was much greater than making the bamboo basket.

He first cut down a few bamboos, then took out a thick bamboo and cut it into four parts with a chopper.

In this way, the bamboo for the four water diversion parts of the canal was completed.

Then, he looked at the other end of the bamboo through the hole on one end to see if there was a hole in the center of the bamboo.

Only hollow bamboos could be used as water channels.

If the center was solid, water would not be able to pass through.

He could either use the thin bamboo to dredge the center or give up.

These tasks looked very simple, but they were very laborious. Fortunately, Wang Chao was very fast with the help of the " Grandmaster Craftsman " skill.

The netizens who had been watching the livestream were dumbfounded.

"So many bamboos were handled so quickly??”

"I'm impressed by Brother Chao's hand speed.”

"Tell me the truth, Brother Chao. Did you train for so many years as a single person?”

"I suspected that you were driving."

However, Wang Chao discovered a problem after chopping dozens of bamboos.

He didn't bring any iron wires or nails, so what about the connection between the bamboos?

After all, although the water source on Yashan Mountain was not very far from the small elephant mountain, the length of a bamboo was far from enough.

Moreover, this kind of connection was not something that ordinary iron wires could tie up, because it required a " seamless connection "!

Only a seamless connection could allow the water to flow smoothly through the bamboo canal and into the small elephant mountain.

The netizens also noticed this problem.

"Brother Chao, even if you cut the bamboo, you can't use it.”

"Give up. Sometimes, you have to learn to lower your head to reality.”

"If the canal could be built so easily, the village would have done it long ago.”

Wang Chao picked up one end of the two bamboos and carefully pondered how to make the two ends join seamlessly.

Seamless connection? There it was!

He used a chopper to process the two ends of the bamboo. First, he polished the smooth surface of a bamboo to make it bulge.

"Do you know that there was a commonly used structure in ancient wooden buildings in our country called mortise and tenon structure?”

"Mortise and tenon structure? What is this?"

"F * ck, I don't even know these two words.”

"This is a kind of connection method that uses a combination of concave and concave parts on the building components.”

"The protruding part is called the tenon, and the concave part is called the mortise.”

"The biggest feature of this structure is that it can be used to strengthen the connection of objects without using a nail.”

As Wang Chao spoke, he quickly picked up another bamboo and used the same method to polish its surface into a concave shape.

Then, the two bamboos gently leaned against each other.

Wang Chao's hand seemed to be filled with magic as he connected the two bamboos that had no connection at all!

Moreover, they were extremely firm. Even if he pushed them hard, they would not break apart.

" What magical knowledge is this?!"

"This is the first time I've seen such a connection!”

"Brother Chao's hands are too awesome!”

"I'm convinced. I'm convinced by Brother Chao.”

Wang Chao smiled." This is actually a valuable experience left behind by our ancestors. I didn't invent it. If everyone wants to admire it, then admire our ancestors."”

Wang Chao took the remaining bamboo and walked towards the water source on the cliff mountain.

Wang Chao didn't know if it was because he had been eating food made from spiritual water for the past two days, but he felt that his strength had increased quite a bit. It wasn't very strenuous for him to carry so many heavy and long bamboos.

"As for the remaining mortise and tenon structure, I will build it according to the needs of the terrain. I will build a better water channel from the cliff mountain to the small elephant mountain.”

"Hualala-"

Wang Chao carried the bamboo to the valley where the water source of the cliff mountain was located. The water in the valley was rushing rapidly.

He first fixed the two slanted bamboos that he had just made to the outlet of the stream with stones.

Then, from the two bamboos down, he began to connect the long bamboos. The mortise and tenon structure could perfectly solve the connection between the bamboos.

Because they were still on the mountain, they tried their best to use the big rocks and small canyons on the mountain to stabilize the bamboo so that it would not be washed away by the rain.

However, Wang Chao understood that no matter how fixed it was, it was not a process that could be done once and for all. In the future, he still had to check on the bamboo canal's condition regularly.

With the help of the " Master Craftsman " skill, it only took half a day for the bamboo canal to reach the top of Little Elephant Mountain.

After arriving at the top of Little Elephant Mountain, Wang Chao first cleared out a pool on the top of the mountain and successfully guided the water source of the cliff mountain into Little Elephant Mountain!

He looked at the clear stream flowing out of the bamboo canal.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoo
