When the war subsided, some people became addicted to taverns and card tables.

Lawrence was busy building the winged harbor, working and exercising with the teenagers.

Winged Harbor has been dug for a few days and is now a huge reservoir.

Lawrence used his eyes to roughly estimate the current progress.

"The depth is more than 16 meters, which is still excavated under the original sea and beach terrain, and it is no longer practical to dig to 20 meters."

"And it's getting more and more dangerous."

Lawrence looked at the sea in the distance, relying on Sariel's prediction and Delen's ability to strengthen it, and it was only then that he was able to block the three storms.

Now the dam as a whole is gradually becoming unsustainable, and it will be dangerous to continue digging.

Lawrence thought about the construction of the Winged Harbor, and also looked at the poor man who was still busy under the pit ten meters deep.

"Let's insist on it a little longer, if there is not even a deep-water port here, then there will be one less advantage, and we must always think about it for the future."

As dangerous and troublesome as it may seem, Lawrence wanted to give it a try.

"Rao, have the excavated stones and sand be transported to the left and right sides of the sea to reclaim the sea, and extend the width of the wings on both sides."

Rao said, "Yes, Prophet, it is easier to transport things elsewhere. ”

The structure of the Winged Harbor is very simple, it is a harbor protected by two curved wings.

Now there is no need to leave an entrance, only to reinforce, and after the deep-water port is dug up, a passage for large ships to enter and exit will be created.

Delenn also participated in today's discussion, standing beside Lawrence and looking at the deep pit not far away, "The most troublesome thing is how to dig the pit. ”

"That's right." Lawrence was also thinking about how to dig in the sea, and there was not only sand in the sea, but also a lot of hard stones.

Delen's ability is limited, and now he can only use a large-scale witchcraft once in ten days, and he has to keep it for emergency reinforcement.

There was a lack of powerful witchcraft here, and Lawrence thought for a moment and asked, "Haven't there been any wizards coming to us lately?" Like a wizard who can dig up stones? ”

Rao replied, "No." ”

Lawrence sighed, "It seems that there really aren't many wizards out there. ”

Delenn looked at the large pit in the distance, where a lot of water had come out, and many people were pouring muddy water from the ground into the barrels with shovels and shovels.

"What now? The water inside is like water from a well, bubbling out all the time. ”

The crater is too deep, and it is close to the sea, and now the water is getting faster and faster, and if the soil walls on both sides are not reinforced in time, the pressure will be greatly increased by the increase in depth.

The grim form forced Lawrence to think quickly about all available means.

"Get your mom to come over and help!" Lawrence said seriously: "Use the power of fire to quickly evaporate the water in the pit, and then use the seawater to splash it on and break the stones!" ”

Loshanda is a pure-blood witch, and the witchcraft of a pure-blood witch is more than several times stronger than that of a half-blood wizard, and both the power and recovery speed are very terrifying.

And the pure-blood wizard is more violent than the pure-blood witch.

While the group was discussing, Dora came over with a few hard laborers.

"Master, we dug this in the pit."

Lawrence looked at the black stone in Dora's hand, thinking that it was a mineral formed by the sediment of the sand on the seabed and the hard bones of fish and shrimp, but after looking closely for a few seconds, he showed a look of shock.

Delenn walked over and took the stone from Dora's hand, and asked curiously, "It seems to be coal stone?" ”

When it comes to the hardness of the ore, Delen has more say than the rest, and her judgment is basically no problem.

Lawrence quickly said, "Dig and see if this is the only one or if there's a hidden coal mine underneath." ”

"Yes! Master! Dora quickly returned with the man to deliver the order.

Delenn looked at Lawrence and smiled, "That's good news. ”

Lawrence didn't think this was good news, and he would rather have a deep-water port than a coal mine.

Now merchants from all over the world can only unload their goods from a few hundred meters away, and some are diverted to Cold Ice Harbor and Flying Fish Harbor.

By the afternoon, more and more coal was dug up, and the water on the ground was getting darker.

Delenn himself went down and quickly pulled the rope up.

"It's a coal mine."

Lawrence quickly showed a resolute look, "Don't dig it!" ”

When Delenn heard Lawrence say this, he thought he was on fire, "Then I'll go back and call my mother." ”

"No!" Lawrence decisively refused!

Delen asked, "Don't let my mother come and ignite the coal below, relying on the flames of those ordinary people, even the water can't be cleaned." ”

Lawrence shook his head, "Don't dig it, don't burn it, it's enough now." ”

Originally, I was going to dig more, but now the situation does not allow it and there is no way.

Delenn looked at Lawrence suspiciously, "You just said to let your mother come and burn this place, but now there is coal underneath, and Mother's flame will only burn stronger!" ”

Lawrence looked at Delenn calmly, "Do you know how deep the coal mine is?" ”

Delen shook his head, frowned, and said, "I felt it a little when I went down to test the hardness of the coal just now, at least fifty meters deep, maybe more. ”

"yes." Lawrence sighed, "If the coal mine below is a few hundred meters deep, then after the coal mine in the pit is set on fire, I feel that our harbor is like a kettle sitting on a stove, and it will be burned dry." ”

The truth is far more terrifying than imagined.

Once Loshanda ignites this exposed crater, the entire port of Ferry will suffer the wrath of Mother Earth for hundreds of years.

The expectation was to be able to extinguish the fire with seawater, but Lawrence didn't want to gamble, and who knows if the heat below would spread to where and cause an explosion.

The Losanda flame is not an ordinary matchfire, her flame has always been very long-lasting, it belongs to the witchcraft flame, once this thing goes deep into the ground, it is impossible to really burn magma.

Judging from the magma pits that Loshanda created before, this probability is quite high.

Lawrence decisively terminated the deep excavation of the Wing Harbor, but did not release the water directly, but continued to strengthen the surrounding wings to create a stronger breakwater and storm embankment.

The wings like a hill make it easier to protect the big and small boats in the harbor, and it can also make the ferry harbor less cold in winter.

Once they had the coal mine at the bottom of the pit, the craftsmen quickly investigated in the mountains near Ferry Harbor and discovered several places where the coal mine might be hidden.

Delen quickly went to several places to test, selected a deep area with a similar coal structure for the miners to work in, and found shallow coal in a col a kilometer northwest of the port of Dum.

There is no shortage of coal at the moment, and it is easier to buy coal directly from the Kingdom of Glen and the rest of the world than to mine it yourself.

Labor does not make people really happy, both children and adults do not like mechanical labor, everyone wants to be easy.

So Lawrence didn't take care of the coal mines, but built more schools and houses, and strengthened the selection and education of talents.

After the arrival of winter, the Winged Harbor was put into use, but the Winged Coast on both sides of the river continued to be heightened and strengthened, and many people came up to play and sightsee every day, walking on this new and wide road like a miracle. (End of chapter)
