Chapter 185: Convergence

Wen Gu had been to the Tianshan Mountains before.

When he found that it was feasible to refine a sapphire needle with a flame aura, he moved quickly and rode directly to the Tianshan Mountains to touch the small valley.

The scene was completely different from the first time I went. The aura is majestic and restless, completely inabsorbable, making the sky grey, like a hopeless death.

The valley is still covered with snow, and Sima Che's grave is a lonely corner of peace. The original ridge was also covered with snow, making it difficult to see the direction. Thanks to the current of water, he was able to find the lake.

It's amazing that there is still water in the lake. Instead of freezing into ice, it turned into a small spring and flowed out. The water flowed down the hillside, creating another clearing. If the aura stabilizes and the climate warms, this place will once again become a green valley.

The original jade was buried, and it was difficult for him to cut one piece with a tool. Not greed, I took the money that a family of three needed, too big to take.

He now finds that the properties of each node are actually quite obvious.

Like Phoenix Mountain, the core of the node is an old tree, which belongs to the wood and soil, so it is suitable for farming. Mount Emei is also a towering tree in a deep valley and should be similar to Phoenix Mountain. Tianzhu Mountain is a cave that belongs to metallic water, so there are mines and fish. The Tien Shan Mountains are similar, but I don't know what else there is other than sapphires.

Wen Gu took the ore and returned to Huozhou gracefully, no matter who left the group. Then take out a part and find someone to grind it into 70 jade needles, which are still 5 cm long and slightly thicker and sharper at the ends.

He supervised the whole process, took all the scrap and overwhelmed people.

So far, he has 72 jade needles. Yes. There is no need to do anything else but play around with this device. Every time he refines, he can refine two at the same time, do you calculate, how long will it take?

Grape Valley, evening.

To the east of the valley is the volcano and to the west is the city centre. To the south is another canyon. Only the north is desolate and barren.

The sun was still shining, the weeds were yellow, and the whole view was empty. Only an old tree with a crooked neck leaned forward, poking at the wasteland. Not far away, there is a reddish-brown mountain, red clouds gathered like giant snakes to hibernate, waiting to wake up the following year.

Gucci stood on the motono and quietly looked at the old tree about a hundred paces away.

He made a slight pranayama, and when his mind was full of thoughts, he immediately read it aloud.

Before.

With a tiny sonic boom, two bright bright spots appear out of thin air, like red rays swimming with bright spotsβ€”the two sapphire needles are first refined.

As soon as the needle appeared, the air around him suddenly fluctuated and distorted.

Then, his heart moved again. The red glow suddenly flashed and turned into a streamer. It seemed to drag its long, fiery red tail towards the old tree.

Yo.

It's a very gratifying momentum! It's really like a meteor penetrating the atmosphere, burning and falling.

In an instant, only two pops were heard, and the red mangs passed through the old trees unhindered, and then flew into the air. However, the old tree stood firmly on the ground and did not seem to change.

Well?

Wen Gu frowned slightly. Doubtful thoughts have just emerged. He listened again, and boom!

At two o'clock, crimson flames erupted violently in the trunk of the tree. In a few moments, the entire tree was covered. Branches and leaves, roots, and even a small circle of weeds under the tree were burned.

It was as if the old tree had been dismembered. It crackled and drooped its limbs, leaving only a pile of black charcoal.

β€œ......β€œ

Gucci blinked, startled. Do you want to be so intense?

Although the speed and penetration have increased slightly, the burning attribute alone is too much for my wife! Think about it, when fighting the enemy in the future, when Mr. Gu waves his hand, he will fly through the sky and burn himself with desire...

Surprised? How many times?

In short, he was very, very satisfied with the effect of the Jade Needle upgrade.

"Before!"

Gucci waved his hand, and the red man flew back at two o'clock, landing gently on the palm of his hand. A slight burning sensation rubbed against the skin, not burning and paining, but somewhat close, this is the transfer emotion after being refined by the multiplier.

"It's not appropriate to call a sapphire needle......"

He looked at his palm, thought for a moment, and then smiled, "In the future, let's call it the Fire Cloud Needle." ”

"Migration is a very important social change, and it has been since time immemorial. In ancient societies, the factors of migration were mainly natural disasters, wars, and migration.

Leaving the Qin and Han dynasties aside, let's start with the Northern and Southern Dynasties. In the turmoil that lasted for a century or two, the population from the north to the south exceeded 1 million, accounting for one-seventh of the original household registration in the north. This laid the groundwork for a shift in the economic and demographic center of gravity from the north to the south.

Then came the Anshi Rebellion. The so-called "all the men and women in the world who wore clothes fled to Suzhou, and Yongjia migrated south." It is not held here. This wave of southward migration lasted for five generations and ten countries, resulting in the population of the South reaching parity with the population of the North for the first time.

The third occurred in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, when the Central Plains rebelled and was sparsely populated. In order to alleviate this situation and adapt to the needs of the opening of the frontier, the Ming Dynasty began to organize large-scale population migrations. On the first line of the Great Wall, there are nine sides, east from Liao to Zuo, north to Xuanda, west to Longxi, south to Yunnan Shu, all the way to the crossroads. The intermediate principle is the north and south of the river, which ultimately balances the population.

The fourth is from immigrants outside customs. After years of disasters in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, thousands of farmers poured into customs. For more than 100 years, until the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the population outside the customs territory reached 60 million. In Xia Guo's entire immigration history, this is the strongest one. β€œ

Said Ebony City recently held a series of meetings.

The same is true today. A very special lecture is being held. There are dozens of people here, all high-ranking officials from major provinces, including old men with glasses.

On the stage, a white-haired professor is explaining on the big screen:

"After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the impact of natural conditions and war became less and less, and there were more and more policy and economic factors. Everyone should be aware of this, so I won't go into details. First, from the rural areas to the cities; second, from the interior to the coastal cities and industrial and mining areas; and third, from the western region to the large-scale development.

To some extent, migration is a decisive factor in political, economic and natural environmental change. With migration after migration, we have now developed into urban agglomerations, economic centers and backward areas..."

The professor spoke for a long time, stopped to drink saliva, and said in a dumb voice:

"Now, we seem to have gone back in time, to a time when natural disasters determined human migration. Assuming that the entire western province has a population of 24.67 million, of which Huozhou accounts for about 3%, this may not seem like much, but let's analyze it specifically. Of these, 370,000 are men, 350,000 are women, 190,000 are under 18 years old, 170,000 are between 18 and 35 years old, 240,000 are between 35 and 60 years old, and the rest are over 60 years old.

Among them, the annual disposable income of more than 100,000 yuan is less than 10%.

Minors and the elderly bear a heavy burden. They are all disadvantaged, unable to work, unable to create value, and in need of welfare resources. The middle-aged group accounts for the largest proportion and has a stable life, work and mind. They are forced to leave their homes and start over in a new environment. Personally, I don't think there are quite a few people who won't fit in. This part of the population is also a potential safety hazard.

As a result, only 170,000 young people are able to truly create value.

However, these people will move to different places. Education, employment, pension, medical care, housing, etc., will all break the existing system of the original city, and even cause burdens.

We are now thinking about how to allocate 700,000 people in order to keep the situation as stable as possible.

Qingning Province has a population of 6 million, and Xixia Province, Longxi and Mobei, with a population of 4 million, all have more than 20 million. The first two are widely distributed and sparsely populated, but there are few employment opportunities and the security system is not even perfect. Don't forget, both provinces are pristine landscapes, plateau glaciers, harsh environments, and there is also a Kunlun Mountain within the borders!"

Hiss!

When these three words came up, everyone was shocked.

The rule now is that mountains and rivers can easily become anomalous. Since a provincial-level attraction like Phoenix Mountain can become a node, Kunlun Mountain, which is revered as the ancestor of all mountains, looks like an accident.

"Longxi and Mobei are a little slower, but Qilian and Yinshan are also the most important. These two provinces lack industry and have large populations. I think receptivity is limited.

That's why we decided that Qingning and Western Xia didn't consider it. Longxi and Mobei can be relocated in small quantities, and most of them will still be relocated to the hinterland of the Central Plains. β€œ

β€œ......β€œ

There was silence in the room. Although they were aware of the impact and impact of the event, their grief doubled in an instant when they heard the experts analyze it.

This is not over yet, the old professor is also very excited, and said:

"I made a rough estimate, if the Fire Continent dies, how much will we lose?

The first is 565.1 billion tons of coal, 350 million tons of iron, 161 million tons of copper, 26.5752 million tons of gold, 180 million tons of sodium nitrate, 76 million tons of magnesite, and 20.0436 million tons of miscanthus salt... 100,000 acres of arable land, 350,000 acres of cotton, 500,000 acres of grapes, 50,000 tons of meat, 30,000 tons of dairy products every year..."

He reported on 17 mineral resources and 12 agricultural products in a row, and continued: "Also, if the so-called fires spread to the Saar Lake, Eddy Lake and Chikotai areas, there will be a large number of shallow coal fields in these areas. It's not just a matter of destruction. Once the coal field catches fire, I, I can't really imagine that. ”

β€œ......β€œγ€‚

In the silence, his voice suddenly became a little dry, and his tone sank, and he said slowly:

"Since the beginning of the year, I have been working on the proposition of "new environmental changes and new social relations". Take Tianzhu Mountain as an example. Tianmen Town has a population of 80,000, most of whom live in scenic areas. However, after the closure of the mountain, the population has largely disappeared. Today, there are only 50,000 permanent residents, and few are young and able.
