Super Chief

Chapter 557: Thor Water

Building roads, repairing embankments, pulling wheat, sun...well, driving tractors, these are the "four major fatigues" recognized by later generations.

   There is no tractor, so naturally there is no way to drive it. But whether it's building roads, repairing embankments, or pulling wheat, the Cherokee tribe has already begun to expand.

   It goes without saying that this is related to the issue of food. It is something that every tribe attaches great importance to, and it is also an annual event for the entire tribe.

   Similarly, road construction is also a tribal project, the kind of project that involves the power of the entire tribe.

   For example, the road from Shangjing to Monongahela to the Daqingshan base, and the road from Shangjing to the southwest, northwest, and southeast are all unquestionably big projects of the tribe.

   Now, Shixiong has begun to put the **** repair, that is, digging the canal, on the table again, which is also the top priority of the tribe.

   It’s just that digging a canal can be a little bit backward compared to building roads. At the very least, the two artificial canals that are about to be dug will have to wait until May to start.

   Joe Laklulu left the relevant surveying personnel, and followed the stone bear and the red cloud who came here with him all the way to the Niagara Falls.

"It's so beautiful! It's magnificent! Standing here, I just think I'm so small!" Hongyun standing on the west bank of the waterfall was fascinated, staring at this magnificent waterfall and muttering to himself. Naturally, I can't hear it, the roar here is too loud.

"Do you know? In our ancestors’ heritage, there is a legend of Niagara Falls a long time ago. Unfortunately, we have only seen this waterfall until now. However, now we see this waterfall, That means we have returned to our ancestral land! It is not far from our ancestral land!" Hong Yun said excitedly. As the high priest of Kabru, she naturally knows the heritage of many tribes. She also knew about the heritage news of this great waterfall.

   In fact, before the Cherokees were driven out of the Great Lakes, the Cherokees lived near Niagara Falls. The name "Niagara" actually comes from the Iroquois language, which means "Water of Thor".

  Because the huge roar of this waterfall appears to the Iroquois or Cherokees, it is the **** of thunder in the sky speaking!

   Niagara Falls is divided into two parts because of the division of Ram Island. The largest waterfall on the south side of Gongyang Island is called the "Horseshoe Falls" because of its horseshoe shape. At the same time, because this waterfall is located in later Canada, this section of the waterfall is also called the Canadian Falls.

  The waterfall north of Gongyang Island is also called "American Falls" because later generations are located in the United States.

It is worth mentioning that in the American Falls, because a small island called Moon Island is separated from Ram Island by less than 20 meters, the American Falls is divided into a separate small waterfall less than 20 meters wide. It is called "Bridal Veil Falls".

   Niagara Falls is recognized as the world's largest waterfall in later generations. If you come during the high water season, this waterfall is shocking and not to be avoided.

   But it is not yet the wet season, and there are even some ice layers on the banks of the Niagara River, so the waterfall at this time is not the most spectacular time.

   But even so, everyone who saw this great waterfall was overwhelmed by the majesty of this waterfall.

   Stone Bear has never seen Niagara Falls with his own eyes in his previous life, he has only seen it in pictures. The effect that can be seen from the picture is far less than one ten thousandth of what you have seen with your own eyes!

   Therefore, even the stone bear was stunned by this magical world.

   Although it is a dry season at this time, there is no hydropower station at this time.

  In order to make use of the huge hydropower resources of the Niagara River, 70% of the water in Niagara Falls is used to generate electricity. Less than one third of the water flows through the waterfall.

   But even then, Niagara Falls is still very spectacular.

   And now, there is no power station, and all the water flowing from the Niagara River will pass through these two waterfalls that are divided into two by Ram Island! Therefore, even in the dry season, the water flow of this great waterfall does not have to be the time difference in the later flood season.

   Thousands of cubic meters of water fell from a cliff over fifty meters high in one second, and the scene was spectacular.

   Without seeing it with my own eyes, it is really hard to imagine that there is such a magnificent scenery in this world.

   Several of the top big figures of the Cherokee people stayed on the west bank of the Great Falls for a long time, and finally left here reluctantly.

   After all, this big waterfall was regarded as a tribal holy place long ago.

  Of course, it is not only the Cherokee people who enshrine this place as a holy place, but the Iroquois and Erie people also enshrine it as a holy place.

   Just as Hongyun said before, once here, he has entered the core area of ​​the ancestral land.

   If it weren't for the noise here, it would be too much for people's ears to stand for a long time. It is estimated that Hongyun and the others would like to live here for a lifetime.

   But even if I stayed for most of the afternoon, when I was far away from the waterfall, everyone's ears were still roaring. The so-called magic sound infusion is nothing more than this...

   Joe La Cruz finally understood why his boss asked him to dig a canal in the west. Niagara Falls is magnificent, but it will also make all shippers feel desperate. Such a moat is simply insurmountable!

   It is precisely because of seeing this great waterfall with my own eyes~lightnovelpub.net~ and feeling the fierceness of this great waterfall, Chora Klulu pays more attention to the excavation of the western canal.

   These things, Shi Xiong won't worry about them.

   After leaving the Great Falls, the group walked south along the west bank of the Niagara River. It took a day to reach the mouth of the upper reaches of the Niagara River.

   Compared to the violent section of the middle and lower reaches of the Niagara River, the upper reaches of this river are undoubtedly much gentler.

   The six- to seven-hundred-meter-wide river is connected to Lake Erie in the south. If you don’t look closely, you can’t even see the river flowing.

   Later generations, on the east bank of this location, there will be a big city-Buffalo, also called Buffalo.

   Buffalo is a large city that belongs to the United States, and on the west bank of the river, there is a small city of Fort Erie that belongs to Canada. On the course of the Niagara River between Fort Erie and Buffalo, there is a famous bridge called the Peace Bridge.

   This bridge is also a famous border bridge between the United States and Canada in later generations.

   Now, there is no Buffalo, and there is no Peace Bridge. What is there is just a fur trading post established by the French with a history of less than 20 years. Of course, this trading post has now also been taken over by the British.

At this time, the engineer battalion of the second division of the Grim Bear Army has erected a pontoon bridge here. Although it has not been completely completed, the soldiers of the second division of the Grim Bear Army can cross Niagara through this pontoon bridge at most two days later. The river finally entered the ancestral land of the Cherokees!
