"A dam that can raise the water level of the upper reaches of the Ashaba River by ten meters? Are you sure?" Everyone involuntarily gasped, for this was no longer about the scale of the project, but whether it could succeed. Such a dam would have to withstand how much water pressure?
"Don't worry about whether the dam can be built. I'm just hypothesizing—if we had this dam, would you be willing to join our governance efforts?" Gaven did not reveal his plan to move mountains directly, as it seemed too sensational. Such divine power borrowing was best kept under wraps rather than widely publicized.
"Join, absolutely join. If the Ashaba River's water level can be maintained as in the rainy season, small and medium flat-bottomed boats could navigate the entire upper river without hindrance, and even larger ones could reach Ashaban Beach. Waterway transportation capacity would increase significantly."
