Chapter 173: Sun Licheng's Method

Everyone sat down around the table, and Sun Licheng began to explain to everyone what he felt.

At first, everyone was still amazed by Sun Licheng's elemental guiding power, but gradually there was no sound. The existence of being sealed by such a powerful Ancient Magic Array, even though everyone didn't see it with their own eyes, couldn't help but feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts.

"However, the oasis must be restored, or we sandmen will all die. ”

Hong Sunaibu thought about it and said it.

Here, Sun Licheng, Caroline, Solomon and Barak are all outsiders, and they are natives, and this is their home. What's more, because of the existence of the forbidden spell of the gods, the sandmen cannot stay away from the sand sea at all, and the farthest place can reach the Stone Bridge Fort, and further away, they will be punished by the forbidden curse, and even the danger of losing their lives.

"But the Dark River must not be opened again, and that magic array is almost about to collapse. ”

Barak said solemnly. Even if he was a necromancer, he wasn't an evil man who wouldn't see the world destroyed. From the power of that magic array, he understood better than anyone else how terrifying that suppressed thing was.

Seeing that the sandman and Barak were about to quarrel, Sun Licheng frowned.

Let go of the dark river, the magic array will be destroyed, and if you continue to block the dark river, the sand sea oasis will be finished, this is really a dilemma.

"If only the Dark River could bypass the magic array. Wouldn't that water not only nourish the oasis, but also stop washing the magic array, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

Carolyn said. The girl's mind is relatively simple, and she says it when she thinks of it.

"That's impossible. Do you know how much work is needed to build such a subterranean canal? Even if you gather all the people in the sand sea, you can't complete it? And how to dig such a long tunnel underground, unless there are special demonic beasts and saint-level earth-based magic, it is wishful thinking. I've been in the Academy of the Dead for so long, and I've never heard of a magician doing such a thing. ”

Barak directly refuted Caroline's words.

As soon as everyone heard this, they also knew that what Barak said made sense, and they couldn't help but fall silent.

"Yes, it would be nice if we could draw water out of the dark river without going through the magic circle. ”

Abner knew that this was impossible, but he muttered reluctantly.

Sun Licheng listened and carefully thought about whether there was such a case on the earth. On the modern earth, in order to cope with all kinds of harsh living conditions, many classic water conservancy projects have been built around the world, can we find a way from them?

Dams, no, there is no way to store water underground, digging canals, no, the sun here is too strong, the water has not yet flowed to the oasis, it is all evaporated, the key is that the construction is not too difficult, there is no cement and heavy machinery here.

"If only Mr. Skillful and the Goblin Empire's Mechanical Golem Legion were here, maybe they might have a way. ”

Sun Licheng sighed secretly. But then, he had a flash of inspiration and thought of a famous water conservancy project on earth.

"I've got a way!"

Sun Licheng thought about it and thought it was feasible, so he shouted excitedly to everyone.

When everyone heard Sun Licheng say that there was a way, their eyes immediately lit up.

"Hehe, I have a way to divert the dark river, and we can definitely complete the amount of work, even the technical process is not so high. ”

Sun Licheng laughed.

But then, with a loud groan, he felt a burning pain in his right rib, and turned his head to see that Caroline was looking at him with a gloomy face, and her left hand grabbed a piece of meat on his right rib and twisted it fiercely.

"Okay, let go, let go, I said I can't do it yet. ”

Seeing that his daughter-in-law was angry, Sun Licheng hurriedly surrendered and explained to everyone.

It turns out that many areas on the earth are plagued by water shortages, and the great flower planter has a famous water conservancy project that nourishes the beautiful land of Xinjiang, and his name is called Karez.

Karez, which means "well", has been recorded as early as in the "Historical Records", and was called "well canal".

Since ancient times, the karez has been built on a large scale in Xinjiang (Western Regions), and is known as the three major projects of planting flowers in ancient times, together with the Great Wall and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

The qanats are generally composed of four parts: a shaft, an underground channel, a surface channel, and a "waterlogged dam" (small reservoir). Because it is buried deep underground, the qanats will not evaporate a lot of water due to heat and strong winds, so the flow is stable, which can ensure the use of oases in the sand sea.

The key is that this project can be constructed in sections, which greatly reduces the difficulty of the project.

After listening to Sun Licheng's introduction, everyone's eyes lit up, and they didn't expect that such a simple method could solve the almost unsolvable problem in front of them.

"Sun Licheng, you are so good. ”

As soon as Caroline was happy, she rushed over and put her arms around Sun Licheng's neck.

"As His Majesty the Gods said, the people who can save the Sand Sea, the well he said is really going to be built, and it can even turn the entire Sand Sea into an oasis. ”

Abner looked at Sun Licheng and his wife who were fighting, and couldn't help but sigh.

The lack of water in the sand sea is one thing, but the biggest problem is the uneven distribution of water, with plenty of fresh water in many places and no water at all in many areas.

If the qanats are built on a large scale, the various oases can be artificially connected according to the optimal route, and the entire sand sea can be completely revitalized. Thinking of that image, Abner burst into tears of happiness.

"Lord Sun Licheng, thank you for your help to us. As long as the qanats are completed, you will be our great benefactor of the entire sand sea. ”

Hong Sunaibu choked up and said to Sun Licheng. Immediately afterward, he thought of his two uncles and the people who had died before, and couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, and cried: "Why didn't the gods send you to the sand sea earlier, we sand people have had too hard a life, for this waterway, but too many people have died, it is completely meaningless!"

Hong Sunaibu's cry immediately caused all the sandmen to start crying loudly.

"Your Excellency, let's do it. If you need me to do anything, just say it, and I, Barack, will not refuse. ”

The necromancer was very emotional, with tears in his eyes, and he also patted his chest and shouted.

And Caroline is already a little star in her eyes, and she can't wait to blast everyone else out immediately, so that Sun Licheng can feel her own heat.

"Alright, since everyone agrees, let's start tomorrow!

Sun Licheng saw that his morale was available, so he stood up and shouted to everyone.

"Yes!"

The other people in the cave also stood up and agreed. But if you look closely, you will find that a glimmer of light flashed in the eyes of the half-elf Solomon, and the corners of his mouth showed a trace of coldness.
