Chapter 32 Crisis Arises

"Rice!"

In my own world, rice is the most common crop, but the requirements for the fields can be said to be quite harsh. Once there is a lack of water, there will be a state of food shortage.

There is no way to grow well, Su Yi investigated a few days ago.

In this world, most of the food the human race needs comes from rice.

If this breaks the chain.

Then I don’t know what to do.

"Your Majesty, what should we do now?"

Other races may be indifferent to such things, but for the human race, it is a matter of life and death.

Everyone present looked a little confused.

In order to stabilize the situation, Su Yi told everyone and said that he could handle this matter very well and hoped that everyone would not worry.

"Wait for me to go over and check the situation."

"Yes!"

"His Majesty".

Su Yi is a very casual person, especially since he has no interest in the throne of the king at all.

Not even interested in the crown.

None of them were carried with them.

Over time, he got a very loud nickname, "The most casual king of the human race."

Rather than being a king, it is better to say that he is just a steward.

Su Yi has real power, but dealing with these things seems particularly cumbersome.

Ordinary little things have to be reported.

It gave me a special headache and I didn’t have time to go to the library to check out a lot of information. Of course, the most interesting thing among them was about the emperors of the past generations. Why did they use chess to decide the outcome, despite repeated defeats? He didn't even know to change his plan.

This is completely unreasonable.

I checked the information myself and searched carefully, but there was no trace left.

I have even studied the suicide notes of the previous kings repeatedly.

But found nothing.

"Stephen, come with me."

His eyes suddenly became serious. Perhaps at normal times, Su Yi seemed to be cynical and ignored these government affairs. His Royal Highness even made people feel a little disgusted, but at critical moments, he always made people feel... Very reassuring.

Stephen nodded slightly.

Nowadays, she has full authority for many things.

I was very concerned about what I was doing in Rice Rice just now. I even received these reports some time ago, but at that time.

The situation is not that bad, and this place has dry weather every year, so this level should be normal.

After a while, it will rain.

This is basically the case every year, but things have changed this year.

Not a drop of rain fell for nearly a month.

This leads to very large fluctuations.

If the rainfall does not meet the requirements, the rice will be in a dry state.

If this continues, I'm afraid everyone will starve to death.

"Um."

Half an hour later, Su Yibian led a group of imperial guards to the forefront of the Elkia Imperial Capital. There was a very wide land nearby, the soil was extremely fertile, and rice was widely planted.

As far as the eye can see, it’s endless.

The most important thing is that the soil in this world contains various minerals, which is particularly suitable for the growth of rice. However, rice is quite harsh. Once it loses water, it will basically dry up.

"It's a bit sticky, but it's seriously lacking in moisture."

Squat down and gently pick up a piece of mud from the ground.

Su Yi couldn't help pinching it and smelling it with his nose.

"It's really bad."

The soil is soft and has not reached its worst condition yet, but judging from the current temperature, it is estimated that all the tunnels here will die from lack of water in less than a week.

In the first half of this year, the human race has expanded. Although it has received a lot of resources, only this food has been in short supply.

“Stephen, is there a river near here?”

"Why do you ask this suddenly?"

Su Yi slowly raised his head. In this hot summer, his back was almost dried up, let alone this kind of rice.

However, as long as it is handled properly, there should be a chance to save it.

He turned around and asked.

"There is a river, and it is very huge, but this river is very far away from this area, and there is no connection at all between the two."

"Located in the mountains."

Stephen said seriously, she had no idea what Su Yi was thinking at the moment and what to do next.

"Tropical jungle?"

He whispered softly, at this moment, he suddenly remembered something. When he opened his eyes for the first time, he seemed to be in a tropical jungle, and this place was nearly ten kilometers away from Elkia.

Then you will be very hydrated even in the heat.

Rich in land resources.

These include rivers, natural wild fruits, and some wild animals.

"Food?"

There is something in the corner of the mouth

Some of them started to flicker, and now there was only one way left for me to go.

If I remember correctly, this tropical jungle should be located at the junction of the tree people and humans.

Now it is strictly divided and should be regarded as its own territory. However, if you want to extract all the water from this place, you must use the most advanced technology.

The industry in this world is still in its earliest stages.

I don’t know what irrigation technology is.

"Stephen, I want you to summon all the orcs, nearly 1,000 of them."

"1,000 people?"

"Um."

"I want to divert the water from the river over there in the tropical jungle to this place."

He said seriously, but such an opportunity, in the eyes of others, is simply a whimsical and impossible thing to accomplish.

I think everyone knows the first reason.

As the saying goes, water flows to lower places and people go to higher places.

This field is basically several hundred meters higher than the tropical jungle.

The terrain is on the high side.

Regardless of whether it is possible or not, I want to get this thing up from such a long distance.

Just based on the height difference between the two, there is no way to divert traffic.

"Su Yi, are you kidding? Such a height difference."

"With such a distance, how could it possibly be diverted?"

Facing Her Royal Highness the Princess's rebuttal, Su Yi didn't care at all and shook his head helplessly. After all, these guys didn't know what drainage technology was, and they didn't understand science at all.

So I don't want to explain anything.

Just tell them to go down and let them do it.

"Source of power?"

"Maybe we should use the demon clan." ..
