Chapter 45: Plans Change
"Rising water levels?"
Lu Ning was stunned.
"Yes." Chang Jiang nodded solemnly, "Didn't you find out?" In the past two days, the water level of the White River has been getting higher and higher, and it has even flooded in some places. β
"Well, yes, indeed." This time it was Su Susu who spoke, and she had been by the river, so she had a lot to say about it: "I feel ...... If this trend continues to rise, I am afraid that even those two fields will be flooded, and I was about to ask you if you want to move those two fields to the valley in advance. β
"I'm afraid not." Chang Jiang immediately said, "I went to see it, the river channel on the other side of the valley is too shallow, and now that the water level has risen, the land in the valley has been flooded a lot." β
Lu Ning has been concentrating on studying alchemy in the camp for the past few days, and he really doesn't know anything about these things.
ββ¦β¦ It looks like plans are about to change. Lu Ning sighed, "We can only give up that valley as our new stronghold. β
"Looking for another place?" Chang Jiang asked.
"It seems that this is the only way to go." Lu Ning nodded with some regret.
"But why did the water suddenly rise...... There was no heavy rain. Su Susu muttered in a low voice.
"Who knows...... Maybe something was going on further upstream," Lu Ning looked into the depths of the Azure Mountains in the north, and somehow, the reminder that Ye Rang Qin Ke had left lingered in his mind again.
"There are traces of large monster activity in the depths of the Blue Mountains...... But can monsters still affect the natural environment? β
Lu Ning frowned and thought for a long time, but found nothing.
He shook his head and gave up trying to forcibly link the two illusory things together.
"Sister Su, you can collect those two fields tomorrow."
Su Susu was a little surprised: "Just take it away, don't you transfer it to other places to continue cultivating?" β
"It's almost time." Although Lu Ning threw the job to Su Susu, he still knew something about it, and Su Susu, a newcomer who had just started for a few days, was not as good as Lu Ning's judgment. "After this stubble is harvested, keep the seeds and don't plant them yet. Waiting for Boss Ye to come over, we asked him for advice and see where it would be better to move. β
Chang Jiang and Su Susu have no objection to this.
Nothing unexpected happened in the next few days. Except for the fact that the water level of the White River continued to rise as expected, until it submerged the two farmlands that Lu Ning had cultivated.
However, the vegetables and flax grass grown in it have also been collected by Su Susu early.
However, about the use of these flax, Lu Ning couldn't think of it for a while.
"Flax can be twisted into hemp rope to make fishing nets, which will be more efficient than fishing with a fishing rod." Su Susu said, "But it is estimated that this batch of flax grass will be used." β
Lu Ning shook his head.
"We don't need to catch that many fish just yet, do we?" Lu Ning was puzzled.
"That's true...... Oh, by the way, you can use flax as a fishing line, which is better than a fishing line made of animal tendons. β
Su Susu said.
"That's fine...... But don't you need that much? Lu Ning looked at Chang Jiang, "Do you have any ideas?" β
"Generally speaking, all you can think of is flax and twisted into hemp rope, or made into clothes, right?" Chang Jiang reminded, "We can't use this thing to make clothes, so we can only weave it into a rope and keep it for later use." β
Lu Ning just wanted to nod, but Su Susu slapped his palms: "Yes, you can make clothes." It's been a long time since I've wanted to change my clothes, and Mr. Lu, your animal skin clothes are also uncomfortable to wear in this weather, right? β
Lu Ning nodded, he was wearing an authentic fur coat, and it was okay to wear in winter, but it was not very convenient now.
"But you know how to make clothes?" Lu Ning had to remind her, "And even if you know how to do it, we don't have any textile tools or anything like that, it's not realistic, right?" β
"It's actually easier than you think." Su Susu said seriously, but her eyes quickly drifted a little: "Of course...... It may not be that simple, but in short, I can rest assured that I will leave it to me. I'll do my best for new clothes! β
Lu Ning didn't know where she got the courage to take on such a big job, but since Su Susu swore that she would make clothes for the three of them, Lu Ning also handed over all the flax grass she had harvested.
"Also, have you memorized all the methods I taught you to smelt bronze?"
Lu Ning looked at Chang Jiang.
After this period of searching and excavation, Changjiang brought back a lot of copper ore.
Lu Ning estimated that it was almost enough to open a furnace, so he informed Chang Jiang of the method of smelting bronze recorded on the bronze axe drawing.
The method is actually not complicated, in short, it is basically a total of three steps.
Step 1: Throw the ore into the cellar along with the charcoal.
Step 2: Light the charcoal and wait.
Step 3: Remove the smelted bronze from the cellar.
Of course, it is necessary to pay attention to the influence of heat and humidity in actual smelting, but in general it is not difficult.
Therefore, Chang Jiang patted his chest to ensure that he really understood everything completely.
Lu Ning was skeptical, but out of trust, he let Chang Jiang do it himself.
Anyway, the things that Chang Jiang promised so far haven't been done badly.
On Lu Ning's side, his research has finally made a breakthrough.
However, judging from the results, this breakthrough is not in the research of fertilizers and drugs.
"Redstone in three.
"Two copies of bluestone.
"A serving of charcoal.
"Five parts of silver heart grass ......"
Lu Ning muttered as he ground all the ingredients into powder, then mixed them together and put them into a clay bowl on the stone slab in front of him.
As mentioned before, after iridescent stone is ground into chips, it still has virtual properties and is more stable.
However, when encountering other objects with virtual energy properties, the virtual energy inside the debris will also be channeled out, thus stimulating the virtual energy phenomenon of other objects.
And what if you mix all kinds of different iridescent stones and objects together?
Both plant ash and silver heart grass are the main materials of "Life Twelve".
Lu Ning accidentally discovered that when charcoal was mixed with grass ash and silver thread grass, supplemented by iridescent stone for energy, an incomplete void energy phenomenon could be produced.
"Produce a virtual energy reaction." The ghost's voice rang out in the soul connection, "This time it's a complete void phenomenon!" Captain, we managed to ......"
Before the ghost could finish his words, the scraps in the bowl suddenly shook, and thenβ
"Captain, be careful!"
Bang ββ!!!!
The pottery bowl exploded suddenly, and shards scattered and splattered out.
Fortunately, Lu Ning was reminded by the ghost, and he squatted with his head in his hands for a moment before the explosion, and the fragments did not affect him when they exploded.
"it...... What is this thing? β
Lu Ning shook the corners of his mouth and carefully straightened up.
Only a pitch-black mark remained on the slate.
"Redstone plus bluestone plus charcoal plus silverheart...... It turned out to be explosives?
