Chapter 325 Chapter 325: Reservoir

In the end, everyone's eyes were on Aslan. Compared with others, the Duke of Medea knew very well that Aslan had an interest-free loan of 200 million in his hand.

Aslan knew that he couldn't avoid it, and he had to arrange the money clearly, otherwise Duke Medea would definitely give back his money.

Coughing, Aslan took out a huge map of the Melo area. The map was drawn not long ago and it was very detailed. With just a glance, you can see the Melo area clearly.

Natal's eyes were shining, and she could see the importance of this map at a glance after she had been in the military for many years.

"This is the map drawn by my Knight Guards after more than a month of field surveys throughout the Melo area."

Aslan said confidently.

Natal first noticed the swamp in the northeast corner of the Melo area, which used to be called the Turis Swamp, and was mainly famous for the Tulisi lizards that grew there. Unfortunately, due to the disordered elements in the Melo area, this The tulisi lizard also disappeared mysteriously. Some said it was migrating, and some said it was eaten up by the Melo people who were short of food.

"Is the Turis Swamp this big?" Natal asked curiously.

Aslan was a little embarrassed. He didn't know the name, so he named it Merlot Reservoir.

"No, this is the Melo Reservoir I am planning to build."

"Reservoir?"

The word reservoir is very unfamiliar to many people in Sino Continent.

Reservoirs are generally interpreted as hydraulic engineering structures that hold back flood water and regulate water flow. They can be used for irrigation, power generation, flood control and fish farming.

In the Sino Continent, they don't know hydroelectric power generation, and they don't know much about flood control and breeding irrigation. Naturally, they don't understand the importance of reservoirs.

"After the reservoir is completed, it can play a role in flood control, water storage for irrigation, water supply, and fish farming." Aslan said lightly.

Vatini and Maliu nodded thoughtfully, while Natale compared the map and opened her mouth instantly when she compared Copeland Mountain.

"The size of this reservoir is at least over 5,000 square kilometers."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.

What on earth does Aslan want?

Why build such a big artificial lake?

They would not believe what Aslan said about fish farming, what kind of fish should be raised in such a large reservoir, and the manpower and material resources needed to build such a large reservoir are absolutely astronomical.

Aslan nodded and continued: "The design capacity of the reservoir is 14 billion cubic meters. Once it is completed, it can use the Merrow River to irrigate nearly one million acres of farmland in the Merlot area and the Billy area, and even a lot of land that is not suitable for cultivation. After the aqueduct is diverted, it will also become fertile farmland."

Vatini and Natal were completely shocked, and subconsciously looked at Aslan.

Once the Aslan reservoir is built, it will not only cover the three regions, it can completely radiate the entire Melox province. Compared with the other three provinces, the Naris region is very short of water, and the nearest lake is close to Hedao Within the territory of Yashian Province.

Therefore, the Naris region is very dependent on groundwater, but the groundwater resources are not rich, which is why the Naris region has occupied such an important traffic artery but has not been able to develop.

With the exception of transportation tariffs, other developments have been very slow, the most critical reason being the lack of water.

From Aslan's simple introduction, it is entirely possible to transfer the water from the Merlot Reservoir to the Naris area.

The Duke of Medea took a deep look at Aslan and asked, "How long will it take to build such a large-scale reservoir, and how much manpower and funds will you need?"

Aslan said with a smile: "Although many places rely on natural mountains, there are still many places that need to be excavated and dams built. I initially plan to invest 30,000 manpower and 80 million funds to complete the project within two years." Lan said with a hint of uncertainty.

Although there is magic in this world, the most critical Melo Dam is not a simple small project, and it may take longer to estimate.

As soon as the 80 million funds were said, it was exported.

Except for Duke Medea, everyone else felt dizzy.

In fact, it is impossible to spend so much money, but in order to block the hand of Duke Medea, Aslan can only report higher.

Natal was running around for more than 200,000 yuan in military expenses, but Aslan actually prepared a project of 80 million yuan without saying a word. Even if the entire Melox province was sold, it would not be able to sell for so much money. Bar!

"It's been a while!" Duke Medea said, waving his hand and said, "Bring a map of Melox Province."

Someone immediately sent a map, and everyone stood up to watch it. The Duke of Medea quickly slid out the location of the Melo Reservoir, and then followed the Melo River, where the Billy area and the Kex area bordered Enli Lake.

"If an artificial river is built here, it should be possible to bring water into the Naris area, and then this artificial river will irrigate along this piece of land." Duke Medea's next words needless to say, so everyone understands.

Once the Melo Reservoir is built, other areas can enjoy the water resources benefits brought by the Melo Reservoir as long as artificial rivers and channels are built. , their Melox province can really become the largest agricultural province in the Kingdom of Cleveland.

After all, the current Sino Continent is still dominated by the agricultural economy, and the business has come out of such a strange thing as the Maxim Federation.

As long as there are industrial powers, I have never heard of it. The most is the Arizona Magic Empire. This is a powerful empire based on magic. It is the well-deserved hegemony of Sino Continent. beard.

"The establishment of the Melo Reservoir is imperative. Aslan, you are in charge of the main project of the Melo Reservoir. If manpower is needed, all regions in the Province of Merlox will fully cooperate." Duke Medea said decisively.

Everyone nodded unanimously. This is a big project that benefits the country and the people. Once it is completed, it will definitely be famous for thousands of years.

"During the establishment of the reservoir, what other plans do you have?" The Duke of Medea asked seemingly concerned, but was actually concerned about the movement of the 200 million loan funds.

Aslan said with a wry smile: "In addition to the establishment of the Melo Reservoir, I also plan to vigorously develop the Melo City, completely remodel the old city, build a main city, and build a unique giant city on the Sino Continent. It cost forty million dollars."

The Duke of Medea was not surprised by this. The Melo region was gradually on the right track, and Aslan had so much money, it was inevitable to develop the main city.

"What about the remaining 80 million?"
