Chapter 557

Building roads, repairing embankments, plucking wheat, and driving tractors are the "four tiresome" recognized by later generations.

Now there is no tractor, so there is no way to drive. But whether it's building roads, building embankments, or pulling wheat, now the Cherokee people have started.

Needless to say, it's about food. It's something that every tribe attaches great importance to. It's also an annual event of the whole tribe.

Similarly, road construction is also a big project of the tribe, which involves the power of the whole tribe.

For example, the road from Shangjing to monongahira and then to Daqingshan base, and the road from Shangjing to southwest, northwest and Southeast, are undoubtedly major projects of the tribe.

Now, the stone bear has begun to put on the table the work of building dykes, that is, digging canals, which is also the top priority of the tribe.

It's just that compared with road construction, digging canals can be delayed a little bit. At least the two man-made canals to be dug now will not start until May.

Jorah krulu left the relevant surveying and mapping personnel, followed the stone bear and the red cloud that came here with him, and came to the Niagara Falls.

"How beautiful! What a spectacle! Standing here, I just feel so small! " Standing on the West Bank of the waterfall, Hongyun is intoxicated with his eyes, staring at the magnificent waterfall and mumbling to himself. Naturally, no one else can hear this. The roar here is too loud.

"Do you know? In the inheritance of our ancestors, there was a legend of Niagara Falls long ago. It's a pity that we haven't seen the waterfall until now. However, now that we see the waterfall, it means that we have returned to our ancestral place! It's not far away from our ancestral land! " Hongyun exclaimed excitedly that as the high priest of kabulu, she naturally knew the inheritance of many tribes. She also knows about the heritage of the waterfall.

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

Because the huge roar of the waterfall in the eyes of the Iroquois or the Cherokees, is the God of thunder in the sky talking!

Niagara Falls is divided into two parts because of the division of Gongyang island. The waterfall in the south of Gongyang island is the largest. Because it is horseshoe shaped, it is called "horseshoe waterfall". At the same time, because this waterfall is located in Canada, it is also called Canadian waterfall.

The waterfall to the north of Gongyang island is also called "American waterfall" because it is located in the United States.

It is worth mentioning that among the American waterfalls, there is a small island called Moon Island, which is less than 20 meters away from Gongyang island. The American waterfall is divided into a small waterfall less than 20 meters wide, which is called "bride's veil waterfall".

Niagara Falls is recognized as the world's largest waterfall in the future. If it comes in the rainy season, it will be shocking.

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

But even so, all the people who saw the waterfall were awed by the magnificence of the waterfall.

Stone bear has never seen Niagara Falls in his previous life. He just saw it in the picture. The effect can be seen from the picture, far less than one in ten thousand that I saw with my own eyes!

Therefore, even the stone bear is restrained by the supernatural nature of heaven and earth.

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

In order to make use of the huge water resources of Niagara River, 70% of the water of Niagara Falls is used for power generation. Less than a third of the water flows through the falls.

But even then, Niagara Falls are still spectacular.

Now, without a power station, all the water flowing from the Niagara River will pass through these two waterfalls, which are divided into two parts by Gongyang island! Therefore, even in the dry season, the water flow of this waterfall is not as bad as that in the wet season.

In a second, thousands of cubic meters of water fell from a cliff more than 50 meters high, which was a spectacular scene.

It's really hard to imagine that there is such a spectacular scenery in the world without seeing it with my own eyes.

Some of the top Cherokee bigwigs stayed for a long time on the West Bank of the falls, and finally left.

After all, the waterfall was regarded as a sacred place of the tribe long ago.

Of course, it's not only the Cherokee, but also the Iroquois and the illites who make it a holy place.

As Hongyun said before, we have entered the core area of ancestral land.

If it wasn't for the noise here, people's ears would not be able to bear it after a long time. It's estimated that Hongyun would hate to live here for a lifetime.

But even if they stayed for most of the afternoon, when they were far away from the waterfall, their ears were still roaring. There is nothing more magical than this

Jorak Lulu finally understood why his boss wanted him to dig a canal in the West. Niagara Falls is spectacular, but it will also make all shippers feel desperate. Such a natural chasm is insurmountable!

Just because he saw the waterfall and felt its ferocity, he paid more attention to the excavation of the canal in the West.

Stone bear won't worry about these things.

After leaving the waterfall, they walked south along the West Bank of the Niagara River. It took them a day to reach the upstream estuary of the Niagara River.

The upper reaches of the Niagara River are much smoother than the fiery sections of the middle and lower reaches.

The six or seven hundred meter wide river connects with Lake Erie in the south. If you don't look carefully, you can't even see the flow of the river.

Later, on the East Bank of this location, there will be a big city - Buffalo, also known as Buffalo.

Buffalo is a big city belonging to the United States, and on the West Bank of the river, there is a small city belonging to Canada, Fort Erie. On the Niagara River between ilibao and buffalo, there is a famous bridge, the peace bridge.

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

Now, there is no buffalo city or peace bridge, but only a fur trading station built by the French with a history of less than 20 years. Of course, this trading post has now been taken over by the British.

At this time, the Engineering Battalion of the second division of the bear army has built a floating bridge here. Although it has not been completely completed, at most two days later, the officers and soldiers of the second division of the bear army can cross the Niagara River through the floating bridge and finally enter the Cherokee ancestral land!
