Chapter 167
"It's difficult...... Sui Xiong lay on the conference table, looking at the translucent main plane model floating in the air in front of him, with a sad face.
This model is a prop made with divine power, and it can truly reflect the general situation of the main plane. Sui Xiong used it to monitor the drought situation, and the results were very reliable.
On the translucent model, you can see that most areas of the main plane have a dark or light yellowish color, the most serious of which is around the capital of the Gold Coin Federation - the goddess of wealth has always been bold, and this time is no different. The so-called fast hands have slow hands, and he didn't dare to be too unscrupulous when it rained, and as a result, he didn't get much rain.
In contrast, the situation on the savannah is much better. The orc gods were very simple, almost pouring water directly into the ground, and until they were stopped by the Lord of Order, they poured at least two years of rain into the savannah, and even caused the earth to flood. Now that the flood has not receded, there is no drought to talk about.
To be honest, Sui Xiong really admired the orc gods a little bit, and actually did this...... What do they think about drought-fighting and flooding?
"What else can you think? It must have been forbidden, so hurry up and get more water. Morani said with a smile.
For the orc gods, he is most familiar as an old friend. After all, he himself was one of the orc gods back then, and he knew everyone well and was familiar with each other's style of doing things.
The other crazy rain is the human gods, but they do it differently from the orc gods, they first make hundreds of lakes on the ground, and then fill these lakes directly, and then start to rain trickle.
This approach may not seem as efficient as the orc gods at first glance, but it avoids possible flooding and is more suitable than for humans, who rely on agriculture as their main business.
It's just that the human gods do not shelter all the human countries, and the scope of their rain is mainly concentrated in three places - the Radiant Kingdom, the Blue Moon Federation, and the Land of Thousand Springs.
These three countries are geographically close to each other, and more importantly, they are explicitly based on the beliefs of the gods of mankind as their state religion.
In contrast, the Principality of Thunder, the Secret Tower Alliance, the Three Southern Kingdoms of the Dhaka Merchant Alliance, and the Gold Coin Federation in the West are not based on the belief of human gods as the state religion.
"Those guys...... It's really stingy!" After listening to Wei Ye's introduction, Sui Xiong couldn't help but complain, "After all, they are all humans, why can't they help with the rain by the way?"
"The ability is limited, and this is also a helpless thing. Viye didn't care about this, "Not to mention that there are so many good gods, in fact, those places also get rain." ”
Sui Xiong sighed, looking at the fact that although it could still be roughly retained, a layer of yellowed main plane projection had already floated.
After a while, he asked, "Do you think the effect of this rain ...... How long will it last?"
"A few months. ”
"If you take good care of the rainwater, you might be able to last for a year. ”
"A year is too much, it's absolutely impossible, and the water will run away. ”
The gods began to talk about it.
Sui Xiong was noncommittal, staring at the translucent phantom.
He had some foreboding.
In the fall, this sense of foreboding gradually became a reality.
Because there was no rain all summer, the drought became more severe.
The worst drought this time is in the Gold Federation, and in many places even the land has begun to dry up. As for crops or something...... If there is rain now, there may be some harvest, otherwise, most of the harvest will be lost.
The goddess of wealth is very anxious, and every day is like an ant on a hot pot. He had sent out all his priests and oracles, and his divine power was being used like flowing water, but it was still far from enough to provide disaster relief for the entire Gold Federation.
The method of disaster relief is naturally still the same old-fashioned, taking water from the water element plane. However, suppressed by the main plane, even the legendary rank of the divine envoys, the power that can be exerted is not great, even if the goddess of wealth supplies divine power at any cost, a divine envoy can only get about enough water for tens of thousands of acres of land in a day.
In terms of numbers, tens of thousands of acres of land may not seem to be a lot, but in fact the Gold Coin Federation is a large country with a total area of more than 15 million square kilometers from north to south (more than 5,000 kilometers from north to south and nearly 4,000 kilometers from east to west).
The country is still far from underdeveloped, and the cultivated land area accounts for about 15 percent of the country's land area, in other words, there are 2.2 million square kilometers of cultivated land, which is converted into acres...... About 550 million acres.
Well, the conversion of "mu" and kilometer in this world seems to be not quite the same as in Sui Xiong's impression. I don't know if he was too poor at geography in the first place, or if there was really a problem with weights and measures?
So the question is, a divine envoy can supply tens of thousands of acres of water in a day, assuming a five-day watering cycle, 550 million acres of fields, how many divine envoys are needed to ensure water supply?
Just do a little math, it's not much, just 11,000 oracles.
If you are outside the main plane, maintaining the activities of 11,000 oracles is actually nothing. But in the main plane, the cost of maintaining such a number of oracle activities is astronomical.
In fact, if it weren't for Sui Xiong's help, relying on the goddess of wealth herself, I am afraid that she would have been squeezed dry.
But even with Sui Xiong's help, things are very difficult.
Although the goddess of wealth is not good at fighting, she is a powerful divine power after all. He was probably able to maintain between 1,000 and 1,500 oracles in the human world, which was about the entry level of powerful divine power.
And no second of His allies can do that.
Both Jorgald and Sui Xiong are stronger than the Goddess of Wealth, but no matter how strong they are, they don't have that many oracles under them.
If you want to move in the human world and draw water for watering, the kind of mass-produced oracles will not work, and you must have elite oracles to have enough wisdom to complete such work. The elite envoys under Yol Gardeman and Sui Xiong combined, let alone a thousand, couldn't even make up five hundred......
Specifically, Sui Xiong had nearly three hundred elite oracles, while Jorgald had less than a hundred.
In contrast, the elite oracles of Law, the god of law, were a little larger, with two thousand.
All in all, in the end, everyone sent out all the divine envoys that could be sent, and after counting, there was still a gap of about 3,000.
What's worse is that even if the vacancy of these 3,000 divine envoys is filled, it will only barely maintain the water supply of the farmland, and the drought situation in the entire Gold Coin Federation will not be alleviated by this.
Don't forget, only about 15% of the land in the Gold Federation is arable land......
