Chapter 174: South-to-North Water Diversion

The next day, the sandmen who got the news boiled over and they could finally fulfill their ancestors' wish for generations: to conquer and change this sea of sand.

"Now, let me talk about our future tasks. ”

The next morning, the leaders of both Sun and Barak gathered for an engineering meeting. Looking at the various people below, Sun Licheng said loudly.

Behind him is a large camel skin, on which is painted with a complete picture of the terrain of the Boulder Mountains.

"According to Barak, I explored the dark river and found that from this position it was possible to draw water of the right height to flow into our qanats. ”

Sun Licheng held a branch and pointed to a location on the map.

To tell the truth, Sun Licheng thinks that this magic world is still very good, because magic is the biggest golden finger.

On Earth, there is a tremendous amount of work that needs to be done to figure out the horizontal height, flow direction and volume of water of a dark river. And here, all he needs is to walk around the ground and stretch out his hand to feel it, and all of this will be mapped into his mind, extremely clear, and even he has mastered the geological structure.

It is precisely because of these basic data that Sun Licheng has the confidence to direct everyone to complete the arduous work of building karez and restoring the Shahai Oasis.

"Although we have had unpleasant encounters with His Excellency Barak in the past, and even some people have died, we must not bring this sentiment to work for the sake of the future. ”

Sun Licheng stared at the eyes of the sandmen and said solemnly.

The latter is a very heavy work, and Barak is an absolutely indispensable force in it.

Some time ago, the sanders died hundreds of people in the war with the skeletons, and it was inevitable that there would be resentment, and this kind of thing that affected internal unity was the most terrible, so Sun Licheng mentioned it at the beginning of the meeting.

After he finished speaking, he saw several sandman leaders showing disapproving expressions, and he couldn't help but feel very helpless in his heart, he knew that hundreds of lives would not be wiped out because of his two fluttering words.

"In the next project, His Excellency Barak will provide us with nearly 100,000 skeletons. These skeletons will be responsible for the most dangerous and heavy tasks such as transporting sand, supplies, and even earthworks. Therefore, on the one hand, I would like to express my gratitude to His Excellency Barak for his generosity, and on the other hand, I would like to state once again that the conflict in the previous paragraph was a misunderstanding, and that no one should allow the destruction of unity as a result of the future, as we work together for the sake of the entire Sand Sea. ”

Sun Licheng continued.

After Sun Licheng finished speaking, Barak also stood up.

"Brothers, it was indeed my mistake in the previous paragraph, mistaking you for members of the cult, so I launched a hasty attack. I'm sorry for that. In order to make up for the sand sea, I will fully support everyone's action to resurrect the oasis in the future, hoping to do something for the future of this sand sea. ”

Barak shouted to everyone.

Hearing Barak's words, Sun Licheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that those sandmen who still had angry expressions on their faces finally eased their expressions.

These people are all warriors who have been tested by life and death for a long time, and they can distinguish the importance from the heavy, so there is no big trouble in the future.

In this way, Sun Licheng arranged for Barak to look for skeletons around, while the leaders of the sandmen led by Abner sent people back to the oasis to let the rear continue to send foster care, while organizing a team to prepare for construction.

Because Barak's control over skeletons is still at an intermediate level, the skeletons can only do some simple jobs.

In this case, delicate tasks such as digging earth underground can only be done by the sandmen, while the skeletons are responsible for transporting the dirt and stones.

After the underground channels and shafts of the qanats were excavated, they also needed to be reinforced and treated to prevent leakage.

In order to achieve these two goals, Sun Licheng decided to fire bricks and Roman cement in the megalithic mountains.

Although the megalithic mountains are full of boulders, there is still a lot of limestone, and in the process of digging underground channels and shafts, a large amount of clay is excavated, and these materials are processed and fired to make bricks and Roman cement.

The key to making bricks and Roman cement is the firing of caves and the transportation of manpower, and Sun Licheng's solution is a magic array and an army of skeletons.

In the magic array, there is a special flame magic array, this kind of magic array can completely replace fuel, but it needs to consume some magic crystals, and the sandmen have accumulated many magic crystals for thousands of years.

For the sake of the future, the sandmen have also worked hard, and the messengers they sent not only urged supplies to the rear, but also brought in magic crystals that had accumulated for many years.

As for heavy physical work, an army of 100,000 skeletons is no joke. Although these skeletons have low intelligence and are not as physically strong as the sandmen, they do not feel hungry or tired, and they are very good coolies.

In particular, the giant bone dragon flies like a heavy helicopter and can transport fired bricks to their destination in one go.

After listening to Sun Licheng's plan, everyone was dazzled, they didn't expect that the huge project that was impossible in their eyes could be completed so easily through Sun Licheng's decomposition, just let the sanders exert a lot of strength and some magic crystals.

"Lord Sun Licheng, I originally thought that everything needed to rely on His Majesty, the God of Knowledge and Diplomacy, to resurrect the Sand Sea. But after listening to your introduction, I realized that you are a saint given to us by God. ”

Abner stood up and said excitedly, bowing deeply as he finished speaking.

"Don't say that, it's all about the power of science. Under the protection of the god of knowledge and diplomacy, not only will the sand sea be restored to an oasis, but the children and grandchildren of the sand people will be able to enjoy education, and from now on, your children and grandchildren will enjoy a happy life that they dare not imagine today. And all of this relies on science. ”

Sun Licheng hurriedly waved his hand, stopped Abner, and said to everyone.

Although he was not very convinced of the other gods, His Majesty, the god of knowledge and diplomacy, had a natural affection for him, so he constantly pulled this Majesty out as a shield.

With a plan and resources, the discussion that followed the meeting was very lively, and everyone was full of hope for the future.

At the end of the meeting, Sun Licheng stood up and said to everyone: "In order to make it easier to manage, we want to give this project a name, so that it will become a legendary existence in the future, do you have any ideas?"

Hearing Sun Licheng's words, everyone's emotions suddenly became excited. Resurrecting the sea of sand is definitely a thousand years of work. Everyone involved in it is likely to become the object of the plane's praise thousands of years later, so they can't help but pay attention to the name.

Several people were the first to speak, but their names were not recognized by everyone, and finally Barak stood up and said, "Lord Sun Licheng, please give this project a name." ”

When the others heard this, they nodded yes.

Sun Licheng smiled and said to everyone: "We are now in the southern direction of the sand sea, and we want to lead the water to the north of the sand sea. That's why I'm going to name this project: South-to-North Water Diversion Project!"
