Chapter 76: Rain
Of course, this is nothing more than an idea from Lawrence.
When he is really in danger, Lawrence will definitely be the first to protect his son.
So although I want to make my son brave, I will also protect my son.
Mars didn't know that his own thoughts had changed his father's mind, so he continued to observe.
The night continues, and if that's all it takes, then everything will be less unsettling.
Mars looked through the binoculars again, and found that it was impossible for him to see where the volcano was.
So Mars can only look at these stones falling from the sky.
"Mars, it's okay, go back and go back to sleep!"
Lawrence felt that this was a cyclical behavior, so the area where the moving island was located was safe
Since it's safe, don't waste your time here.
"Yes, Father!"
Both of them came down from the high platform and returned to the stone house.
After entering the stone house, the sound outside was still there.
So everything is normal, so that you can go and rest without worrying about the changes outside.
Mars soon fell asleep, and in the second half of the night, the sound died down and the red light slowly dissipated.
Mars woke up when the sound died down, and then Lawrence said he didn't need to go out and went back to sleep.
In the morning, there seems to be some smell in the air.
However, the smell is not very strong, but you can smell that it is too much.
Mars felt that it was some smell of gas from the eruption.
This thing will soon be carried away by the wind of the sea.
So there's no need to worry too much.
Had breakfast.
Lawrence travels to the island to find trees and other plants that need to be transplanted, while Mars continues to dig.
He needed to completely build the western part of the Moving Island by the time it was today.
At the very least, you have to make a platform, a platform that is much higher than sea level.
So he needs to mine faster.
By the course of the morning, the western part of the island had been squeezed out of the water, and the jagged reefs would be repaired when Mars returned, at least to make them less of a nuisance.
When it was time for lunch, Lawrence and Mars sat in the gazebo, then looked at the reef to the west, and talked about their next plans.
"Mars, you're going to get them all right today, and you're going to form a huge reservoir. ”
"Father, is it about to rain?"
"I was looking around the island in the morning, and found that the leaves of the plants were not as green as when we first saw them, and some of the plants had their heads bent, and the soil that had been damp had become dry and hard. I guess it's going to rain. ”
"Okay, father, I'll speed things up. ”
The plants here can grow to such a large size, and there is no groundwater, so it is safe to assume that it rains a lot.
So, when the plants can't bear it, the rain is coming.
After eating, continue to take a lunch break.
The noise of last night made today look very calm.
The day was still so cloudless and the sun was shining.
In the afternoon, Mars excavated some more reefs before he began to reconstruct the western side of the mobile island.
Lawrence, on the other hand, went fishing, because Mars felt he needed more fish, which would be used for manure.
The current biogas is replaced, so there is actually nothing else in the pit except the biogas.
The first thing Mars needs to do is to squeeze the soles of his feet completely.
Then cover the surface of the earth with a layer of sea reefs.
This creates a surface that is not permeable to water in the upper part of the area.
When it's done, it feels like a giant cement square. Of course, Mars didn't need to find a level to build them on.
All he had to do was make the place a complete face, separated from the sea underground.
With the ground ready, Mars began to raise the surrounding area.
When the height of the walls on all sides reaches about two meters, a huge pool with a depth of more than two meters is formed.
Of course, this pond is not used for fish farming, but is used by Mars as a reservoir for cultivation.
It was already late in the evening, and it was getting closer and closer to dark.
Mars looked at the finished things, and in them, about half of the soil was replaced.
Let the soil be completely filled.
Of course, when it was filled, a whole bunch of sea creatures that Lawrence caught would be used as fertilizer and then put on the bottom layer to cover them with soil.
Because the deadline is rushed, the speed of two people is very fast.
By the time Mars was building around the pool, Lawrence had already begun to throw the sea creatures he had caught into it.
Although by the time Mars finished building, not much had been thrown in, but there was still some stuff.
With a little bit of something, Mars began to put all the displaced soil inside, some of which had been replaced before, some of which were stored in the underground room, and some that had been stored on the side of the moving island.
In addition, Mars can be replaced, so there will be a lot of soil entering this huge pool.
When night fell, Mars and Lawrence had to stop.
Although there are biogas lamps now, it is still a bit difficult to work at night, so the two of them have to take a break for safety.
It has expanded by almost two thousand square meters, which is a big change for a small island.
And if it's full of plants, it's even more different for Mars.
At the end of another day, there was no movement in the night, and there was no rain as Lawrence had spoken of.
But after dawn, Mars saw the change in the weather.
It's not stormy weather, it's just normal cumulonimbus clouds passing by and then rainfalling.
So when he saw the dark clouds in the morning, Mars knew that the rain was coming.
After a simple meal with Lawrence, Mars went to replace some of the reef and soil.
Then just below the gazebo, waiting for the rain to fall today.
The rain lived up to expectations, and in the observations of Mars and Lawrence, it fell without warning.
Then, for a moment, Mars and Lawrence's vision was disturbed by the rain curtain, and they couldn't see further at all.
The pond was very large, and a lot of rainwater fell into it, and soon the displaced soil was completely overflowed by the rainwater.
The smell of the earth was smashed out by the raindrops, and Mars kept looking and thinking.
The rain is coming, and the island on the other side is not far from disappearing completely.
