Chapter 462: Sick Lake (I)
Sick Lake, this is a name formed by the mountain people, and other names include "Disaster Lake" and "Devil's Pool", in short, they all express the same meaning.
If you get too close there, you can easily get sick.
Luo Ming had already investigated, and it was not due to the influence of any supernatural forces, but because the lake was quite large, there were many mosquitoes, and once it was close, it was easy to suffer from mosquito bites and spread diseases.
Of course, there were also a lot of fish in that lake, and Aya consulted many fishery records and finally confirmed that there were about two tons of fish in this "sick lake".
Two tons of fish is not a lot, and if you use it to fill the food gap, you can catch as much as you can without drying up the water, and you can only last for a week at most.
However, if there are so many fish in a completely wild state, if they are artificially raised and fed, and then dredge the water veins to expand the water area, the output will definitely be much higher than this.
Of course, not to feed the grass - Luo Ming doesn't have extra food to toss so much right now - but to feed the grass.
For vegetarian fish, eating twenty or thirty kilograms of grass can grow one kilogram of meat. There is no need to spend anything more than labor costs, and Luo Ming has now obtained a large number of new people, which can be regarded as a rare idle human resource.
As for the original scattered breeding industry in the mountains, Luo Ming has already asked them to bring all the livestock down the mountain - the flat grasslands outside the mountains can raise cattle, sheep, and pigs better than in the mountains.
Moreover, as long as the problem of disease-causing mosquitoes is solved, at least 6,000 acres of good arable land can be opened up around the lake at once, and there is no shortage of water, the land is fertile, and the leftover fish scales and fish bones can be fertilized, and the maximum yield may be higher than those ripe fields outside the mountains.
Although we will have to wait until after the harvest next autumn to get these grains. But this year, even if you miss the time to grow food, you can plant peanuts and pumpkins there and mix them into your staple food to make up for a few weeks.
In addition, there is such a large lake, and it is possible to find a way to form a water transportation route from the inside of the mountain to the outside of the mountain, and train the water army in the large lake and its affiliated rivers!
In this way, it is necessary to solve the problem of sick lakes.
After a brief communication with Aya, he was already confident.
He can't make mosquito killers that are cheap enough to spread over a wide area, but sometimes he has a dead end in one idea, and then he can move on to another.
There is magic and magic in this world.
Of course, ordinary magic and magic can't solve such a big problem, and powerful magic and magic can't generally cost a small amount.
However, Luo Ming has a trick in his hand that happens to be like a trump card on this occasion.
Dou Qi collected from the whole body into the heart, and then poured out of the heart, transforming into Cangyan halfway, reorganizing in Luo Ming's hands, and manifesting a turquoise rune.
In the next moment, an insignificant divine aura appeared from this rune, which was a simulation of the authority of the goddess of spring water.
Luo Ming had only bought one Spring Secret Text before, and now if he could use the second way, anyone who found out about it would think that something was strange - therefore, Yariana was beside her, her face was relaxed, and with just a finger of her hand, an invisible wave spread through the air.
That insignificant divine aura was disturbed by this fluctuation, and it quickly distorted and changed, although it did not disappear completely, but even if the spring goddess herself arrived, if she didn't pay attention, she wouldn't be able to recognize this breath at the first time.
It's like adding some chili pepper and salt to honey water, and it can easily change the taste.
Simulating the secret text of the spring, Luo Ming has simulated it many times, and he has already done it once in reality, and now he is even more familiar with it for the second time.
With a flick of his fingers, the imitation rune instantly disintegrated, turning into a soft mist of water.
The mist swirls and changes in his palm, seemingly unpretentious, but contains infinite mysteries.
In the next moment, he swung his palm forward. The water mist shoots out like a projectile, and the moment it touches the ground, it seeps directly into it, and it is simply invisible.
Just a few seconds later, there was a tremor from the ground, a burst of rock and soil, and the churning of groundwater.
However, when approaching the surface, the groundwater stopped there and did not gush out directly.
It's not that the spring secret text of Luoming Cottage is not good enough, but because the size of the authority in this spring secret text is limited to death, so there is a distribution problem.
If the spring water were to gush directly out of the ground, it would be estimated that only a medium-sized spring would be produced, and even if it were to flow into the sick lake, it would hardly be effective enough.
Therefore, he saved the part of the power that allowed the spring to break through the ground, and then used this part of the power to further widen the underground waterways.
As for how to make the spring water a few meters above the ground really break through the ground, it is actually very simple.
Instead of wasting precious power, it is better to use gunpowder directly!
This terrain was surveyed and selected by Luo Ming and Aya together, and as long as the gunpowder was buried in the designated place and ignited together, a large gap could be quickly blown up, and the spring water gushed out - and flowed down the terrain all the way to the sick lake!
In the next moment, Cangyan, who was placed everywhere and burned quietly like a small spark, was no longer silent, and transformed from a dark fire to an open flame, igniting the short lead.
Then, the air wave began to spread.
With a dull loud noise, the huge earthwork was lifted up, as if there was a giant python stirring underground, although the earthwork seemed to be about to fall back, but without the pressure of the soil, the spring water gushed out of control!
The soil layer was broken through a large opening, and the turbid water rushed out of the ground like a yellow dragon, accompanied by gunpowder smoke, as if the clouds were flying through the mist, and flew towards the lower part of the terrain, until it rushed into the lake of calamity, which had been the symbol of fear of the mountain people for hundreds of years!
The waves rolled, and the turbid currents merged with the turquoise water, stirring up a large splash.
Such a big movement suddenly startled many mosquitoes, and the gray patch looked like the exhaust gas from the factory.
Even if they are not infected with diseases, it is entirely possible for this number of mosquitoes to kill humans and animals.
However, this is only their last glimpse – and Lomin assures that they will never have it for the second time.
Gradually, the gushing water became clear.
Among them, a faint glow can be faintly seen, exuding a refreshing atmosphere.
Looking at all this, Luo Ming showed a satisfied smile.
