Chapter 149 Reservoir

Ten minutes later.

Zhang Zhongyue’s serious face showed a kind smile, and he collected an 8-minute audio.

He kept muttering: "Now the children are really good, they are eloquent! But I originally planned to sell it for 200 spirit coins, but I didn’t expect to sell it for 350 spirit coins."

On the other side, Qi Yuan also grinned and exchanged all the seeds for 350 spirit coins.

"Hehe, I made money!"

Zhou Yue on the side stared blankly, and was completely dumbfounded!

It turns out that dignity can really be sold for money!

...

Qi Yuan looked at the five kinds of seeds in his hand, and his heart was already blooming with joy.

Among them, the most valuable is definitely the excellent white lotus seeds.

In addition to its excellent quality, whether it is lotus, lotus seeds, or lotus roots, they are also very valuable.

The second is cotton. The value of cotton is self-evident. It is a very important economic crop.

If you encounter a cold wave in the future, you can rely on good-grade cotton to make your own quilts, cotton clothes and other warm items.

Next, plant seeds, which are relatively low in value.

Strawberries are used to enrich the variety of fruits.

Green grass seeds and colorful daisies are used for decoration, and can increase the concentration of spiritual energy around to a certain extent and optimize the environment.

White lotus is planted in the pond and raised together with Qingyue algae.

For strawberries and cotton, Qi Yuan reclaimed two acres of land and planted them all.

Colorful daisies and green grass seeds were all scattered in the courtyard of the quadrangle, and some were also scattered outside the courtyard.

Grass seeds should grow faster and reproduce faster. It shouldn't take long to cover the surroundings of the quadrangle.

With the embellishment of colorful daisies, the environment near the quadrangle should be greatly improved.

After dealing with his own affairs, Qi Yuan still had things to do, so he went directly to the construction site of the reservoir.

You need to control the "small manufacturer" to be responsible for the final manufacturing of "sand and mud bricks".

Although the progress has just begun and the pit of the reservoir has not been dug yet, the "sand and mud bricks" can be prepared in advance.

This kind of "sand and mud brick" is about 30 cm × 50 cm × 50 cm.

That is, the length and width are both 50 cm, the thickness is 30 cm, and one piece is 0.25 meters.

The entire reservoir is a total of 114,000 meters.

In other words, a total of 41,400 "sand and mud bricks" are needed. If two layers are to be laid, 82,800 pieces will be manufactured.

To be honest, this is not a lot.

With the assistance of artifacts such as storage boxes, private transactions, and small manufacturers, the transportation cost and labor cost are greatly reduced.

Generally, Qin Zhenjun works at night in Zhaocheng and transports the white pine sand and mud back.

Qi Yuan is responsible for making it into "sand and mud bricks" during the day. More than 14,000 bricks can be made in about a day.

In this way, all bricks can be made in about a week.

While thinking in his mind, he manipulated the "small manufacturing device" to make sand and mud bricks.

However, at this time, Qi Yuan suddenly found that there were many thumb-sized holes in the white pine sand on the side.

In the holes, long tentacles were vaguely stretched out.

Qi Yuan was stunned for a moment, and he casually opened the sand pile and saw the things in it at a glance.

There were many light yellow transparent river shrimps, which kept flopping in the sand.

They were about 10 cm long in size, and looked similar to the river shrimps we eat every day, and they looked very plump.

Qi Yuan was delighted. He did not expect that he could harvest a kind of food while collecting white pine sand.

This kind of river shrimp was most likely hiding in the white pine sand to rest, but was directly picked up by the spirit turtle.

He took out the "Mist Seeking Manual" to check the meaning of this river shrimp.

As expected, it was a good-grade ingredient.

[Name: White Pine Shrimp (Good Grade)

Function: High-quality river shrimp, rich in nutrition.

Introduction: Live in rivers with fast-flowing water, and the meat is very elastic. ]

This is a very good ingredient, whether it is blanched or made into shrimp paste, it is very good.

"This time I have a hot pot, there is one more ingredient!" Qi Yuan thought to himself.

A few people came over from the digging reservoir next to them. Let them turn over the white pine sand and pick out all the white pine shrimp inside.

Unexpectedly, there are really a lot of them hidden inside.

After almost two hours, all the white pine shrimps were found and filled two wooden barrels.

Qi Yuan poured all the white pine shrimps into the pond for subsequent breeding.

Then he picked out dozens of them and gave them to Chu Xi to make for today's dinner.

In this way, there is one more job before making bricks every day - picking out the white pine shrimps.

But it is worth it and it doesn't waste much time.

In this way, everyone worked together and Qi Yuan completed his daily work in an orderly manner.

And the progress of the reservoir was also steadily improving.

Seven days passed quickly.

The total amount of sand and mud bricks far exceeded expectations and has reached 130,000.

And the excavation of the reservoir has also been completed by one-tenth.

Although the speed is fast, it did not meet everyone's expectations.

And most importantly, the temperature outside has continued to rise recently, and the temperature at noon has reached 52.53℃.

The surface temperature reached over 65℃, and we have to be thankful that this is in the foggy world.

If the ground is asphalt or concrete in the city, the surface temperature should have reached over 80℃.

And as the high temperature continues, the amount of water in many rivers has begun to decrease significantly.

Some smaller rivers have completely dried up.

The high temperature of over 40℃ has lasted for more than 10 days, and there is no sign of fading.

This is beyond the expectations of the seekers.

The duration of the cold wave is only seven days. Everyone thought that the probability of high temperature is the same.

But this time, everyone was wrong after all!

Therefore, Qi Yuanwu is indeed a little anxious and must speed up the progress and build the reservoir as soon as possible.

Because soon, all seekers will be in a state of severe water shortage.

The water sources on the surface will become less and less, and the opportunity to obtain a large amount of fresh water will become less and less.

Even if the reservoir is built, there will be no water source for storage.

So next, Qi Yuan and his five friends also joined the excavation of the reservoir.

Using "dimensional backpacks" and "storage boxes" and "private transactions" to greatly increase the excavation speed.

The task of the 49 workers is to shovel the soil into the storage box.

After it is full, send it directly through "private transactions".

In this way, the progress is improved.

30 storage boxes, a total of 150 cubic meters, plus 5 dimensional backpacks, 40 cubic meters, a total of 190 cubic meters.

It took only two days to clean up all the remaining soil.

A 100m x 100m circular pit appeared in the middle of the underground shelter.

The subsequent brick and stone laying was completed by all the workers together.

Because the number of "sand and mud bricks" exceeded expectations, in order to make the reservoir more solid, the workers decided to lay the first layer directly.

130,000 "sand and mud bricks" were distributed to each worker, which was actually more than 2,300.

It also took two days to successfully build the entire reservoir.

Of course, the quality of "sand and mud bricks" played a very important role in this process.

Each "sand and mud brick" is identical in size, and it fits together tightly, just like stacking blocks.

This made the entire construction process unimaginably smooth.
