Chapter 120: Lihe Reconstruction Planning

  Chapter 120 Lihe Reconstruction Planning

Qu Mao was almost choked to death by a piece of barbecue, and he recovered after a while, and said, "Kong Ming, you talk about your ideas, but when it comes to the actual implementation stage, I must lead the people to do it, and you are responsible for talking about your ideas." .”

Kong Ming said: "Sir, measured along the way, the widest part of the river is about 20 meters away from the mouth of the sea, and the depth is only 1.7 meters; the narrowest part is no more than three meters, and even a slightly stronger leader can jump over it. It is near the source, although We have not traced the source thoroughly today.

   Judging from today's exploration, the Li River should be formed by the confluence of three mountain springs, and the deepest part of the Li River is no more than three meters deep.

  For our sea-going ships, this water depth is not enough to support the sea-going ships to transport supplies along the Li River into the interior of the outlying islands.

  Not to mention anything else, at least in the area below the waterfall, the subordinates feel that it should be remodeled. "

   Qu Mao looked at Kong Ming suspiciously, and asked, "Kong Ming, how do you think it should be reformed?"

   "Reform Lihe?" Zhao Pan asked belatedly, "Master Kong Ming, what benefits can we get from renovating Lihe and spending money and people?"

Kong Ming picked up the goose feather fan, shook it twice, and said, "My lord, Mr. Zhao Pan, you don't know something. Changing the course of the Lihe River will not only help us drive the big ship into the outlying island, but also facilitate our further development of material transportation on the outlying island in the future; It will also make it easier for our citizens to use water on the outlying islands; of course, the more important thing is to transform the outlying river to more easily irrigate the cultivated land reclaimed on the outlying islands in the future."

   Qu Mao said: "I already know the benefits of Lihe's transformation. Please tell me the strategy you want to transform in detail."

  Kong Ming said: "Although it is still not clear why there are no plants growing on the land on both sides of the Li River, it can basically be judged that there will be a high probability that there will be no dry season for the Li River.

  This means that we don’t need to change the channel of the Li River. At most, we can clamp the channel of the Li River and increase the flow speed of the Li River, so that the river water can automatically scour the river bed to achieve the purpose of deepening the depth of the Li River.

  Subordinates believe that the depth of the Li River generally reaches about 5 meters, and sea-going ships can sail directly through the Li River to enter the deep part of the outlying islands. "

   Qu Mao became interested, and asked, "Damn it! Kong Ming, are you talking a bit out of the blue? How can we make the water listen to us and wash the river honestly?"

  Kong Ming put down the goose feather fan, picked up a few chopsticks, placed them on the table and said, "My lord, please look!

We narrowed the width of the river to about 10 meters along the river, and built two dams. The dams do not need to be particularly high, only about 5 meters high, and the total length is only about 15 kilometers. The project volume is not particularly large. .

  In the future, we can build a bridge at the angle between the village and the other side, then the cultivated land on the other side of the river can also be reclaimed, and the territory of the village can be further expanded.

  At the waterfall, we can build a waterwheel, and with the help of water power, we can improve the power system of many of our functional buildings, thereby increasing production efficiency.

Further upstream, we can build a dam, close the gate to store water during the wet season, and open the gate to release water during the dry season, so as to ensure a stable water flow from the river and ensure stable irrigation water for our cultivated land. Artificially adjusting the water volume is also conducive to ensuring The total amount of fresh water in the outlying islands..."

   Qu Mao interrupted Kong Ming with a sneer: "Build a dam and build a reservoir to control the amount of water leaving the river?

  Kong Ming, you are thinking too far. There are definitely benefits to realizing this project. I can feel it, but the problem is that the project volume is really too large.

  This means that we have to build a reservoir between the Sankou Mountain Spring and the source of the Li River. This reservoir may also have to build a barrier lake in the mountains of the Outlying Islands to realize our purpose and desire for water storage.

  It is very difficult to find a natural barrier lake. Now we see that the fish in Li Hanoi are not particularly rich, which means that there is no ready-made large reservoir between the mountain spring and the source of the Li River.

  The whole project involved excavating mountains and digging ground. How much work is required?

  Even if we send all 1876 people from our Yi Village territory to build it, it will not be something that can be completed in a year or two. "

  Kong Ming shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "My lord, the reconstruction of the Li River is crucial to the future development of the Li Island.

  The development of outlying islands is not our short-term plan. It will take three months at the earliest before we can consider this matter in detail. After three months, is it true that our territory of Yi Village still only has 1876 people?

  Anyway, the people on the outlying islands will definitely be idle now, idle is idle, and they still need to consume food. Why don't we plan this large water conservancy project first, just like ants moving house, what can be done is what can be done.

   On the outlying islands, we do not plan to attack the folding space, nor do we plan to attack the resource mines. The citizens have nothing else to do, and they have to carry out earthworks when reclaiming arable land.

  So the subordinates think that building the dam should not be a big deal, and we build it section by section, not building all the dams on both sides of the river simultaneously at once, we can first build the dam on the south bank of the Lihe River in the section from the village..."

  Jenny Water, a fifth-level junior water magician, suddenly said, "My lord, if you just rely on the water to increase the depth of the river, your subordinates may be able to help you."

   Qu Mao looked back at Jenny Water, and asked, "Jenny, doesn't your magic skill raise the water?"

Jenny Walter said lightly: "My lord, you don't know that water magic is to make full use of the power of water magic elements. Although the subordinates are only junior water magicians and don't have many skills, but the water magic of controlling water The basic skills of a magician are still good."

   Qu Mao asked casually: "Oh, Jenny. Then you will carve a water-type magic circle on the blank rune stone, so as to turn the blank rune stone into a water-type rune stone?"

   Jenny Water froze, her face flushed a little, and she said after a few seconds: "My lord, I'm sorry! In fact, my subordinate is only a junior water magician for the time being.

  If there is a magic tower in the territory, the subordinates who work hard will gradually become intermediate magicians or even advanced magicians.

  However, even after the subordinates are promoted to intermediate magicians, they still cannot complete the depiction of water-type rune stones independently. Any series of rune stones requires a high-level magician to successfully portray them.

Of course, if we have the drawing of the magic circle for reference, the subordinate may be able to successfully draw the water-type rune stone, but the probability of success is only about 20%. For reference, the success rate of subordinates in drawing water-type rune stones can be increased to 50%. "

   Qu Mao has long known from Lai Dima that there is a magic tower among the buildings in the territory, but Yi Village has not yet obtained the construction drawings.

  Coughed in embarrassment, Qu Mao said: "Jenny, there is no magic tower in our territory yet, but there will definitely be one in the future.

  You don’t have to worry, first earnestly improve your level and strength. After the magic tower is built in the future, I will definitely find a way to help you advance to intermediate magician or even advanced magician, and finally rise to the realm of magic master. "

  Zhao Pan just glanced at the issues discussed by Jenny Walter, Qu Mao and Kong Ming. Zhao Pan was actually not interested, and he felt a little sleepy after hearing this.

Qu Mao brought the topic back abruptly, and said: "Back to the topic of Lihe's renovation, since Master Kong Ming is so persistent and has made a long-term plan, anyway, starting tomorrow, the number of idlers in Li Village will reach about 80 people. .

  Then according to Kong Ming’s long-term plan, we will start with the construction of the dam on the south bank of the Li River in Li Village. Let’s set 20 meters for the first section, and build 20 meters first to see the specific situation.

  Tomorrow, I will lead the people to reclaim the cultivated land by the Li River and build the dam at the same time. It will take a certain amount of time. We will definitely be able to complete the model project of the Li River reconstruction.

  Zhao Pan, you can take the shuttle boat with Jenny and scour the Lihe channel to see if you can deepen the Lihe channel to 5 meters. "

   "Yes, my lord!" Zhao Pan replied.

   Kong Ming said: "My lord, in order to prevent the backflow of sea water, my subordinates suggest that Master Jenny and Zhao Pan work harder, starting from the source of the river, and gradually scouring and deepening the river from upstream to downstream."

  Zhao Pan thought for a while, and said: "My lord, according to the estimates of my subordinates, it will take about three days for all the wounded soldiers who left the village to recover.

  Three days should be enough for Jenny to wash away all the rivers, right? If it was more than three days, the subordinates wanted to wait for the soldiers to recover from their injuries before continuing to search for the treasure chests bestowed by the gods, explore and hunt, and replenish food and supplies from the village. "

  Kong Ming lightly shook his goose feather fan, and said, "Washing five kilometers a day, the problem shouldn't be too big..."

  Jenny Water said lightly: "Three adults, you can't just look at the length of the waterway, but also consider the abundance of mana and the recovery speed of mana."

  Qu Mao thought for a while and said, "Kong Ming, why don't you go with me.

   Passing the Lihe River during the day, I don’t think there is any problem with the horses running along the river. If something happens or there is a temporary change, I will immediately arrange for the fifth-tier heavy cavalry or the fourth-tier light cavalry to come back to you on horseback.

  You bring your marching tents, so that you don’t have to take a shuttle boat for half a day before going upstream. "

  Kong Ming shook his goose feather fan and said, "Yes, my lord. This subordinate will go with Master Zhao Pan and Jenny tomorrow, and if this subordinate goes there, we can collect more information about Li He..."

  Qu Mao quickly interrupted: "If there is any reformation, you can think of it. After you come back and tell me, let me decide whether to arrange for the people to implement it."

  When Li Village was first built, how much cheating value was robbed by Kong Ming's invention, Qu Mao vividly remembered.

Kong Ming said: "Okay, my lord. Now we have not built a reservoir at the source of the Li River. The subordinates are worried that the dam will be built too hard, and the flow of the Li River itself will not be sufficient, which will lead to backflow of sea water, thus salinizing the water on both sides of the Li River. Therefore, we insist on scouring and deepening the river from the upper reaches.

  As the upstream deepens the river channel, the further downstream, the greater the scouring power of the water itself. "

   Qu Mao nodded and said: "Try to move forward first, and we will solve the problem if we encounter problems later."
