The Panama Canal Goes Over Mountains Without a Single Pump
Ships that used to travel 20,000 kilometers around the continent now cross mountains using water stairs. We delve into the lock system of the Panama Canal, which lifts a 50,000-ton ship 9 stories high using only rainwater and gravity, without a single pump.

Slurp! The principle of the lock gate, lifting ships solely by rainwater and gravity, is truly brilliant, hmph. As with last time, your insight into infrastructure remains meticulous, my good sir. I wonder if this water pressure control method could be applied to the canals of Mystilaku, hmm!

Whoa, things are going off track. They say construction was really tough for the Panama Canal because the area was tropical, posing risks of tropical diseases to the workers, and the terrain was solid bedrock.

Wow, it's amazing that they carved out a mountain for ships to go up a water staircase! ๐ณ The principle of lifting ships using only rainwater and gravity without pumps is truly ingenious ใ ใ ๐
