Chapter 30: Reclamation of the Sand
Mars's words succeeded in arousing Lawrence's curiosity, and he looked at his son to see what he would do.
So at this time, Mars came to the place where he was launched, to the reef group.
Mars has learned what these reefs can replace.
Now he needs to swim to the reef so he can make a replacement.
Watching Mars enter the water again, Lawrence asked, and Mars said to go and see the reef again, but Lawrence stayed.
The reef here can be replaced with sand, the kind of sand that is found on the beach.
Although this thing is of little use at the moment, Mars has found an opportunity to expand his island.
With Mars's plan, his mobile island will stay in this place in the next few days.
Then he will expand the underwater of the mobile island.
Seeing these reefs today, Mars felt that it was impossible for the moving islands to start from one island and grow larger.
It is completely possible to create a series of reefs around the movement.
In this way, you can also give yourself a buffer in the event of danger.
As for the sea sand that can be replaced, it can completely fill the middle of these reefs at that time, and such a huge beach will appear. Then spread around!
When moving the island, because there is soil and grass in the reef, Mars can only come here to replace it first, and see if the replaced sea sand can meet his requirements.
Upon arriving, Mars began to replace the reef with sand, and after looking at it, he left the area and returned to the Moving Island.
"Father, let's stop here for a few days!"
From the very beginning, it was Mars who was going to sail eastward.
Lawrence didn't say anything more, and let his son set out as he pleased.
But he didn't go far, and he actually had to stop.
This left Lawrence a little confused.
"Mars, did you find anything?"
"Yes, Father, I see the difference in the reef here, and I plan to enlarge our island from the bottom of the water so that there are reefs like this around it. ”
"So we're going to be safe, and as the reef grows up, it's going to form a wall, and inside the wall, we can fill in some of the sand. ”
Mars now feels that he has a lot of ideas, so that the area of the moving island will expand in an instant.
Lawrence heard his son say this, and he thought about it.
"Where does the sand come from? Do we have to go to the bottom of the sea to search for it?"
Lawrence knew where there was sea sand, one at the bottom of the sea and one on the island.
But now there are no islands, so you have to go to the bottom of the sea.
"These are the reefs, Father, I've tried, and they can't be used as stones, but they can be turned into sand with my new talent. ”
Mars's hand was spread out, and there was still some sand soaked with seawater inside.
Lawrence pinched some, and sure enough, it was sand.
He glanced at the black-brown reefs, and then at the sand, and it didn't look like anything like them.
Because the sand is so small, and the reef is very large.
It feels like the reefs have been shattered.
"Mars, your talent seems to have something to do with these stones, so stay for a few days. ”
Anyway, in the middle of the sea, you are either rushing or staying.
Now that he was in a safe place, Lawrence would have no other opinions, and now he was more interested in seeing what his son did.
If he can help his son in the process, then Lawrence will be very satisfied.
"Father, do you have any seeds in your collection? I can still get the soil, why don't we try to plant them?"
Mars looked at his father, and then turned his attention to the ancestral tub to see if there were any treasures in the tub that he didn't know.
Lawrence watched his son's eagerness to try and felt that he shouldn't have told so much.
This kid has too many ideas, and he actually wants to move his old book.
"Mars, think about how to make your island safer. ”
Now they are in a relatively calm sea, and unless there is a big storm, the island will be very safe.
But once you enter other seas, there are not only storms but also various disasters at that time.
Especially when the tidal attraction is very strong, the sea water will rise more than ten meters, and I am afraid that it will directly submerge this small island.
Mars saw that his father didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't waste his time on it.
The moving island has come to a complete halt, and Mars' plans are starting to get on the agenda.
Because it has been replaced today, Mars has no action and can only wait for the next day to make a replacement.
According to Mars's plan, build a central island centered on a moving island.
Then began to build other reef groups around him.
The reefs are connected to the central island and then begin to scatter around.
Mars then did not use the moving islands, so he was able to make the reefs peek out of the water.
These displaced reefs are built like an umbrella bone.
Eventually, Mars will start building on these exposed reefs.
Connect them to each other.
When a large area of these reefs emerges, the underwater part of the moving island begins to grow.
Because they are a whole.
When such a sand can be protected from being carried away by the sea, Mars can replace the reef with sea sand and let it all flow into a huge basin of his own making.
In this way, it is like a sand-filled island, and the area of the moving island will expand countless times in a short period of time.
At this moment, Mars felt that such an act could save him a lot of time.
He can then build something else above the sand that can protect most of it from being carried away by the waves.
Over the next few days, Mars began to follow his plan.
Lawrence helps his son, as he has a good ability to orient himself in the sea, which helps Mars to put the reef in its place.
Mars wants to do this, or he wants to get a bigger territory, so that there will be a lot of places to plant.
For example, trees, such as crops, and so on.
Mars planted trees because he thought they could be used as firewood so that the island could become self-sufficient.
