Chapter 339: Beginning to Take Shape (I)

After the passion, life is dull.

On the second day of the wedding, Chu Tianjiang organized a two-day camp. This was done to give the five brides a deeper understanding of the environment around the valley, and to allow the engineering team to complete the final works as soon as possible and to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the castle's drainage system.

Although it is only more than four months before the catastrophe and two months before the invasion ends, there are already many wild animals near the river valley, including sika deer, wild goats, etc., and some large carnivores, such as the leopard. The next night, Chu Tianjiang also found the footprints left by a tiger. It's just that these wild animals are still more afraid of humans and don't get close to their camping in Chu Tianjiang.

When Chu Tianjiang and the others returned to the river valley, the engineering team had already left.

To Chu Tianjiang's surprise, the engineering team not only left behind unused materials and some large equipment, but also left a large amount of food.

In the next three days, Chu Tianjiang called the three Andre brothers and built a fence around the river valley to deal with wild beasts.

Although Chu Tianjiang used his energy body to set up a cordon outside the river valley, he couldn't deal with wild animals, and Chu Tianjiang didn't want to hurt wild animals. The fence is made of a thick trunk with a bowl mouth as a column, and a wooden plank ten centimeters wide and five centimeters thick as a horizontal fence, about five meters high, and the top is also inclined outward, which is not only strong enough to resist the impact of tigers and other fierce beasts, but also can deal with the golden leopard with strong climbing ability.

The fence was built mainly for the Anna sisters, who were left behind in their homeland.

Although according to Zhang Xiaogang's arrangement, when Chu Tianjiang and the others go to the United States, they will send a group of female agents to be stationed near the river valley home, specifically responsible for protecting the Anna sisters who stayed behind, but Chu Tianjiang felt that it was still not enough insurance, and he didn't want to cause too much trouble for Zhang Xiaogang. With this fence, large carnivores would not be able to enter the valley home, and would not be able to pose a threat to the Anna sisters.

After finishing this project, Chu Tianjiang asked the three Andre brothers to hurry up and build their own homes, and strive to complete it before they left for the United States.

It's just that Chu Tianjiang was not idle, and he didn't let Nicol and the others be idle.

Considering that they were about to go to the United States, and Nicol and the others would definitely go together, Chu Tianjiang was not in a hurry to build a diversion pipeline to the hot springs. According to Chu Tianjiang's plan, the next step will be to expand the underground part of the castle and build a tunnel leading to the outside of the river valley without shaking the foundation of the castle.

To this end, Chu Tianjiang spent two days doing detailed exploration and determining the exit of the tunnel.

After the official start of construction, Chu Tianjiang put Clara and Anna sisters in charge of taking care of everyone's daily life, and then mobilized Nicol and the others to mobilize.

In order to avoid damage to the main structure of the castle, Chu Tianjiang did not use explosives and dug all by hand.

Fortunately, for Chu Tianjiang and Nichol, this is not a difficult matter. With the help of energy bodies, not only soft soil, but also hard rocks can be dug up. In addition, by relying on the mutual induction of energy bodies for positioning, the excavation direction can also be accurately determined.

It took ten days for Chu Tianjiang and Nichol to dig this tunnel.

The excavated earth and rocks were partly used to fill in the riverbank plains for future reclamation, and partly to be used on the diversion dikes upstream of the river. According to Zhang Xiaogang, the river's water level rises by three to five metres in the summer, so it is necessary to build a diversion dam upstream to divert the surging water to the east, otherwise it will flood the lower beaches in the valley and even threaten the valley's homes.

During these ten days, the three Andrei brothers built their own home and found time to make some commonly used furniture.

Compared with Chu Tianjiang's castle, the home of Andre's three brothers can be regarded as a farm at best. The three farmsteads were built about two kilometers downstream on a flat dam about seven meters above the river beach, in the shape of a pin shape, with Andrey's farm facing the castle and Leonid and Valentin's farms on the left and right flanks behind. Because the road to the outside world is downstream, the three estates are on the way to the castle. Obviously, the three Andre brothers fully considered their identity and status when choosing the site.

Due to the limited time, only the main part of the three farms has been built, and the other buildings and facilities have only been planned, and construction has not yet started.

According to the arrangement, when Chu Tianjiang and the others go to the United States, the four Anna sisters will live in the castle, and there is no need to build three farms immediately. As expected, before all the energy sources were found, the time that the three brothers Chu Tianjiang and Andre lived in the valley home must have been very small, and when they went out, in order to facilitate mutual assistance and care, the four sisters of Anna would definitely live together.

Next, Chu Tianjiang called the three Andre brothers to start building a flood control embankment.

This project was originally arranged by Zhang Xiaogang to the engineering team, but due to conditions, it was not possible to send the engineering materials needed to build the levee into the river valley, so the construction never started.

According to Chu Tianjiang's arrangement, the three Andrei brothers were responsible for tamping the foundation of the earth dam, and he was responsible for collecting stones.

Obviously, this is a huge project, even if Chu Tianjiang is an energy man with amazing superpowers, and the stone comes from the cliff on the other side of the river, it is relatively convenient to collect and transport, and it also takes a lot of time. Chu Tianjiang had to let Nicol and the others go into battle again, and cut the collected stones into neat stone slabs according to the standard size, so that they could be laid directly on the rammed dam foundation.

was sent by Chu Tianjiang to do this and that, which made Nicol and the others complain.

In order to appease them, Chu Tianjiang had to take some leisure time, mainly when the others were having dinner, and took them to soak in the hot springs a few kilometers away.

It must be admitted that Chu Tianjiang is definitely a genius-level engineer.

Although he did not have any engineering expertise, he planned a very reasonable engineering project and the engineering methods were very ingenious.

After half a month of busyness, the flood control levee that was eight kilometers long and protected the entire river valley plain finally took shape.

In addition, bluestone slabs for laying the levee have also been prepared. Each slab is two meters long, one meter wide, and ten centimeters thick, with anti-skid grooves on both sides.

Before starting to lay the bluestone slabs, Chu Tianjiang used the cement left by the engineering team.

In addition, he went upstream to build a temporary dam with energy bodies to temporarily block the river and lower the water level so that bluestone slabs could be laid at the bottom of the levee, ensuring that the foundation of the levee would not be eroded by the river and that the levee would remain stable for decades to come.

It was only after the bluestone slabs were laid at the bottom of the flood control levee that Chu Tianjiang removed the energy body dam.

The rest of the project is much simpler, and the three Andre brothers and Nichol can complete it, without Chu Tianjiang doing it himself.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chu Tianjiang went to the nearby mountains and forests to get hundreds of big trees and began to decorate the river valley home.

According to Chu Tianjiang's plan, poplar trees were planted every ten meters on both sides of the main road, and other ornamental trees were planted near the castle and the André brothers' farm. Because the hot springs have not yet been introduced, for the time being, only native plants suitable for the climate of the Qinling Mountains can be planted. When the hot springs are introduced into the castle, Chu Tianjiang also plans to build a back garden in the castle and plant some ornamental plants from other places. Of course, this arrangement is more for Clara. As far as Chu Tianjiang knew, Nicol and the others were not very interested in gardens. In fact, if it weren't for Chu Tianjiang's company, Nichole and the others would not have much interest in hot springs, and they would prefer some exciting entertainment. For example, climb the cliff on the other side of the river valley and play cliff diving at the top of the cliff more than 200 meters high.

When the valley was full of greenery, it was already thirty-five days after the wedding.

Although there are still many projects that have not yet started, the valley already has the basic appearance of a home, and everyone feels that it is worth celebrating.

After Clara and Rachel proposed, the three Andre brothers volunteered to go hunting.

Chu Tianjiang did not object, after all, everyone had worked hard for more than a month, and they should relax a little.

In the evening, bonfires were set up on the river beach.

Although it is the coldest February of the year, Nicol and his wife are not afraid of the cold at all. Taking advantage of the fact that the three Andrei brothers went out to hunt, the seven "flower butterflies" stripped naked and went down to the river to play. Clara and Anna don't have the same physique as they do, so they can only stay on the shore. In order to take care of Clara and Anna's sisters, Chu Tianjiang also stayed on the shore, and he felt that he should not be too intimate with Nichol in front of Anna's three sisters. In any case, they are now the wives of the three Andrei brothers.

"What, are you uncomfortable?" Seeing Anna spit out the apple she had eaten, Chu Tianjiang was a little strange.

"Husband, don't you know what to do?" Clara stroked Anna's back a few times, then handed Anna a glass of water.

"What?"

"Anna is pregnant?"

Chu Tianjiang was stunned for a moment, and then jumped up. "This ...... How is this possible. Anna, are you really pregnant? ”

Anna nodded and said, "I only had a pregnancy reaction a few days ago. ”

"Wait!" Chu Tianjiang suppressed his excitement, went over to support Anna, and pressed her lower abdomen with his right hand. "There are two embryos, twins!"

"Twins?" Anna's eyes immediately widened.

"Twins, really?" Clara was also surprised.

"Yes, it's a twin, but it seems to be a fraternal twin." Chu Tianjiang kissed Anna on the face, and then hugged her. "I'm going to be a dad!"

Hearing Chu Tianjiang's excited shouts, the three Ajelina who were cleaning the dishes by the river, and Nicole, who was playing in the river, immediately rushed over.

Chu Tianjiang never thought that it was Anna who first conceived the child, not Clara, who liked the child the most.

It's just that whether it's Anna or Clara, it's his child who is pregnant.
