Chapter 121
After Kong Ming expressed his thoughts, Qu Mao initially felt that the amount of work to transform Lihe was very large, and the Yicun territory could not bear it now.
Later, Kong Ming persuaded Qu Mao by saying that time would be exchanged for progress. Qu Mao agreed that Kong Ming and Zhao Pan would take Jenny Walter to scour and deepen the Li River channel first, while Qu Mao stayed in Li Village and led the people to build a 20
A dike about meters long.
If the deepening of the river channel and the construction of dams can be carried out as expected by Kong Ming, and can achieve the effects mentioned by Kong Ming, then in the future we will consider digging a reservoir and building a dam between the source of the Li River and Sanyan Mountain Spring.
Early the next morning, Zhao Pan and Kong Ming took the fifth-level ascetic Armani and the fifth-level junior water magician Jenny Walter on a shuttle boat and went upstream towards the source of Lihe River.
Qu Mao asked Kong Ming and Zhao Pan to bring two marching tents and enough food for five days in their backpacks, so as to save them from sailing 15 kilometers upstream every day and let them wash down along the Lihe River.
In Li Village, Qu Mao first arranged for the residents to be on duty to build stone lighthouses, watchtowers and defense towers, and then arranged for 20 residents to continue to reclaim farmland. He took 40 residents to the construction site of Li Village to reclaim farmland.
The area away from the river bank is preparing to build a dam.
The area to be built was planned by Kong Ming in advance, including the specifications and construction steps. Since there are no construction drawings, the construction of the embankment is a practical operation. In theory, an infinite number of residents can be arranged to participate, but the construction site cannot be arranged. Qu Mao
Arranging 40 people seems a bit much.
Even with this arrangement, there are still more than 40 residents in Li Village who cannot arrange work and can only be idle. After all, Li Village has not conquered any wild resource mines.
After thinking for a while, Qu Mao found 4 third-level jump soldiers, 3 second-level ship shooters, 5 first-level sailors and 25 sailors, and replaced five outstanding soldiers from the locals who were building a stone lighthouse.
Qualified territorial citizens are required to drive a sea-going ship and transport 40 territorial citizens to the empty island to participate in the reclamation of farmland in the folded space of the empty island.
Su Yan returned to Yi Island yesterday and is expected to bring Franklin King and Jia Sixie to the empty and outlying islands in a week. There are still 6 days left, so Qu Mao is not in a hurry.
It was busy until about 10:30 in the morning, when Qu Mao entered the forest for the second time to use up the opportunity to summon the project. The 40 local residents just laid a layer of soil on the 20-meter-long and 5-meter-wide base planned by Kong Ming.
Cheat system prompt: "The rookie host successfully led the citizens to successfully build the base of the dam without architectural drawings, and will be rewarded with 20 cheat points."
Sure enough, I can get cheating points, and there are quite a lot of cheating points. I only gave 20 points at once. This is not finished yet.
The embankment planned by Kong Ming was built close to the village and close to the river, only 3 meters away from the edge of the river. The soil was dug starting from one meter away from the edge of the river and dug all the way to the side of the embankment next to the river.
The plan is to be 5 meters wide at the bottom and 3 meters wide at the top. This section will be built first for 20 meters and the height will reach 5 meters. The slope on the side near Lihe River is greater than 60 degrees. A layer of stones will be built first, and then the side near Lihe Village will be built.
All rammed earth.
Although in another world, the college entrance examination is a choice of two and is relatively relaxed, mathematics is still a compulsory subject. Qu Mao reluctantly felt that if Kong Ming's plan was followed, the dam near the river would be too steep and the residents would not be able to climb it.
.
After thinking for a while, Qu Mao directed the residents on the spot to modify Kong Ming's plan, asking the residents to increase the bottom to 15 meters long, compress the top to 2 meters wide, and pile stones on the side away from the river to the bottom of the soil.
The area must be dug five meters deep.
As a result, the demand for stones will more than double, and Qu Mao also requires that a step be built on the side of the 20-meter embankment next to the river. Otherwise, if the slope is greater than 60 degrees, no stones will be built.
There are so many stairs that there is no way to get from Lihe to the top of the embankment.
Moreover, after the bottom reaches 15 meters, the slope will be relatively gentle, and when the height reaches three meters, a 1 meter wide lining will be reserved.
Then continue to fill the earth upwards. Not only the earth is filled, but after the earth is filled, the embankment needs to be tamped with flat stones. The entire embankment construction project was originally planned by Kong Ming for three days, but after Qu Mao made such improvements, it is estimated that it will take at least three days.
It takes about 10 days to complete.
Fortunately, after Qu Mao made it clear to a well-qualified citizen, the cheating system showed again: "Practice brings true knowledge. Congratulations to the rookie host for improving the dam construction process during on-site construction. The cheating value is 10 points."
Seeing the display of the cheating system, Qu Mao felt very happy instantly. His guess was correct. It would be easier to get cheating points by staying in Li Village to direct the construction.
However, in this case, the stones Kongming prepared to build this 20-meter-long embankment may not be enough. Stones can be found in the mountains on the outlying islands, and a zero-level quarry can also be built. Currently, a 20-meter-long embankment has been built.
The dam alone is not a big problem if Kong Ming obtains stone resources from who knows where. If we continue to build the dam in the future, stone materials may be a problem.
Naturally, you can find a place to build a zero-level quarry on an outlying island, but Qu Mao thought about it and combined it with the terrain of the outlying island that he and Kong Ming observed yesterday, and finally decided to open up stones on the outlying island and then transport them to the outlying island to build the dam.
.Because building a zero-level quarry on an outlying island is very likely to lead to changes in the landform of the outlying island. If it causes the outflow of the river to be cut off, the gain will outweigh the loss.
Although the transportation cost is higher, it is better to transport it from the sky island. Before Qu Mao came to the island, he had built a zero-level quarry on the sky island, but before that, he had always arranged for the residents to be on duty to produce the stones.
The data is directly gamified and entered into the warehouse in Yicun territory.
In the morning, when the qualified citizens were asked to go to the empty island, they asked to change the duty production to real mining. Su Yan told Qu Mao to use real mining, and the mined stones would be piled up in the zero-level quarry.
Before lunch, Qu Mao went to the forest to look for beasts to summon Ah Ke to increase cheat points. Qu Mao thought of a problem. The people who were building the dam were all building the dam according to Qu Mao's revised plan. It would take about ten days to build the dam.
, it is just a 20-meter-long embankment, and there are few opportunities for further innovation.
Although Su Yan had brought shovels, dustpans and other work over, the residents could not use it, and the efficiency of building the dam was still very low.
The two-meter-wide and five-meter-deep mining area was not enough to completely build the dam. Qu Mao had no choice but to ask the people to expand the mining area to the Lihe River, and at the same time ask the people to continue digging upstream. Anyway,
We will still have to continue building dams in the future.
After lunch, when Qu Mao returned to the Lihe River, he found that the five-meter deep pit dug in the mining area was only half a meter away from the water surface of the Lihe River, and the water in the Lihe River began to become a little turbid.
A simple thought makes it clear that the upstream fifth-level junior water magician Jenny Walter has begun to wash away and deepen the river channel. The river water is wrapped with the sediment at the bottom of the river and is left at the mouth of the sea. It is also a waste to flow directly into the sea.
Qu Mao looked back and saw that the side of the mining area close to the embankment had been paved with stones by the residents, and the steps that Qu Mao had requested to be specially built had also been repaired. So Qu Mao found the highly qualified leader.
Said: “This section of the borrow pit has reached its limit.
Go to the next section of the soil borrowing area and leave one meter of land between this section and this section. Do not add the entire embankment upwards. First, pile soil and build stones close to the river. When the height exceeds one meter from the river level,
The mining area is close to the upstream end, and the deep mining pit and the water surface of the Li River are opened up, so that the water from the Li River can fill the mining pit."
"Yes, sir! Are you trying to store water?"
Qu Mao smiled and said: "No, the mining pit is not connected to the sea yet. The upstream is scouring and deepening the river channel. The water full of sediment can be diverted to the mining pit. The subsequent sedimentation of the sand is equivalent to backfilling the mining pit. In this way, we
The embankment will be more stable..."
The cheating system showed: "Congratulations to the rookie host. On the one hand, your creativity strengthened the dam, and on the other hand, it also deposited river sand. But more importantly, it forced the river to change its course. The system rewards 30 cheat points. Depending on the final project effect, the system
Additional cheat value rewards will be added.”
Qu Mao was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and asked the highly qualified leaders to lead the people to work. The plan to go to the remote village on the empty island became more urgent.
When the locals dug out the bit of soil that separated the quarry pit from the Li River channel, the turbid Li River water immediately poured into the quarry pit. Qu Mao could clearly see the water level on the other side of the Li River 20 meters away.
It looks like it has stepped back nearly 10 centimeters.
Based on the turbidity of the river water entering the deep mining pit, Qu Mao felt that if the turbid water completely settled, it would be able to backfill the deep mining pit by at least half a meter.
After a day of busy work at the dam construction site, Qu Mao's idea of going to the empty island village became more urgent. The swamp terrain in the folded space was being transformed there. The probability of obtaining cheating points by pointing out the country was higher and there were more opportunities.
The construction of the outlying islands has basically been arranged. The dam construction project has generated more than 60 cheat points in one day. The probability of generating cheat points again on this 20-meter dam is infinitely close to zero.
Wanting to understand this, Qu Mao returned to Li Village, found two fourth-order light cavalry, and said: "You two run upstream along the bank of Li River and help me call Master Zhao Pan back.
Master Kong Ming and I explored it yesterday, and there is no problem in horse racing on the bank of the river."
The two fourth-order light cavalry raised their hands and replied: "Yes, sir! Do you need to give a message to Zhao Pan?"
Qu Mao shook his head and said: "After you find Zhao Pan, tell Zhao Pan directly that I am looking for him. Then you two will give Zhao Pan a horse and let Zhao Pan come back alone. You can also stay over there.
Serve as a temporary messenger to deliver messages."
"Yes, sir!" The two fourth-order light cavalry immediately got on their horses, slapped their horses and rushed towards the upper reaches of Lihe River. The distance was up to 15 kilometers, and it took about half an hour to go back and forth. Zhao Pan could still make it back to have dinner with him.
