Chapter 4672 4675 [The Princess Returns]

In addition to promoting crops and agricultural tools, Xiangnan also built a dam in Thebes to control the water of the Nile River.

The Nile River is the only mother river in Egypt. Whether it is drought or flood is completely related to Egypt's national economy and people's livelihood and is of vital importance.

However, due to the large flow of water in the Nile, the first dam on the river, the Aswan Dam, was not built until the end of the 19th century.

With the dam, the water in the Nile River was finally controlled, avoiding multiple floods and droughts, and hydropower became an important source of electricity in Egypt.

Of course, after the dam was built, it also caused some bad effects. For example, the dam intercepted sediment, so that the land downstream could not be nourished by nutrient-rich sediment, resulting in a decrease in land fertility;

Since the river water no longer floods, the salt in the land cannot be taken away by the river water, resulting in salinization of the land; there is no large amount of sediment washed into the sea, causing the Nile Delta to be eroded by the sea water.

But overall, the benefits of building a dam still outweigh the disadvantages. Because of the Nile River's permanent floods and droughts, the economic losses and personal casualties are even more serious.

…

The dam was built by Xiang Nan alone.

For him as a Sanxian, building a dam really shouldn't be too simple.

He first used Poseidon's trident to cut off the flow of the river; then he used magic to dig out a deep foundation, and then used boulders weighing hundreds of tons as the dam body. Finally, he installed gates weighing dozens of tons, and the dam became It was completed naturally.

The princes, ministers and people of Thebes were all shocked when they saw Xiang Nan parting from the rushing Nile. Because this has never happened before, it is simply a miracle.

They were so shocked that they all fell to their knees and shouted Xiang Nan's name.

And when they saw a boulder weighing hundreds of tons being lifted high in the air by Xiang Nan, their faces turned pale with shock.

Especially when the dam was completed and the unruly Nile water was finally brought under control, people all expressed their sincere admiration.

"Dear Pharaoh, you are worthy of being the incarnation of God, God's messenger, and God's spokesperson. Only you can conquer the Nile!"

"The Nile River has been blessed by you. You are the God of the gods and the king of us Egyptians!"

"You have infinite power, and you have a kind heart. We are willing to be loyal to you for life~"

People shouted loudly.

Xiang Nan laughed after hearing this.

…

After the dam was built, a huge artificial lake appeared next to Thebes, which was respectfully called the "Lake of the Gods" by the local people.

The Lake of Gods has a water storage capacity of up to 200 million cubic meters, which can be used to store water during floods to prevent downstream flooding. When there is a drought, water can be sent downstream to avoid drought downstream, which plays a very good regulating role.

That's why people like it very much.

The land around the lake, which was irrigated by the lake, and which was originally deserted desert land, suddenly became a land of plenty.

Xiang Nan also specially built a small island in the middle of the lake, and built a palace on the island that belonged exclusively to him and Ansuna.

Egypt has a typical tropical desert climate. Like Thebes, the highest temperature in summer exceeds 40 degrees, while the lowest temperature at night is only 20 degrees. Therefore, the temperature difference between day and night is large, there is much wind and sand, and the sun is blazing.

Building a palace on the lake, you can go there to enjoy the cool air in summer, and you can also go boating on the lake and enjoy the scenery of the lake and mountains. It is naturally a rare enjoyment.

…

"My dear, you are so thoughtful." Ansuna was very happy, Xiang Nan was completely thinking about her.

Because Xiang Nan, as the incarnation of God, is not afraid of cold or heat at all.

During her honeymoon, she went to Mount Kilimanjaro. It was such a cold snow-capped mountain that she felt cold even wearing furs, but Xiang Nan was still topless and didn't feel cold at all.

Therefore, he built a palace on the lake solely for her comfort. How could she not be moved by this?

"Of course, I want to give you the best." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled, "Wait a few more years, and after the national strength is accumulated, I can take down the Hittite Empire.

By then, the entire Mediterranean will be ours. I will build you a bigger palace on the island of Cyprus~"

Hearing what he said, Ansuna was naturally even more happy.

At this moment, the minister came to report, "Honorable Pharaoh, there is sad news. Prince Abbas was killed last night."

"Killed? Killed by who?" Xiang Nan was stunned and asked quickly.

After Abbas killed his father Seti I, he was pardoned by Xiang Nan and kept all his property. After that, he lived in Thebes, living in seclusion and becoming a wealthy man.

Such a person supposedly has no enemies, so who was killed?

"It's not clear yet, I just know that his head was chopped off." The minister explained.

"The head was chopped off?" Xiang Nan was startled, "When he killed Seti I, he also chopped off his head. Is there any connection between them?"

"My dear, is someone seeking revenge for Seti I?" Ansuna immediately thought of it.

Xiang Nan quickly released his sensory power, and in an instant, it spread throughout the entire city of Thebes. Then he nodded and said, "Yes, Princess Nefediri is back."

"It's her?! She actually dares to come back!" When Ansuna heard this, she was furious.

She was very unhappy when Nafedili escaped last time. No matter what she says this time, she won't be able to escape again.

"It seems that she seems to have obtained a magic weapon." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "So she has the confidence to challenge me."

"Humph, she never sees her true strength clearly." Ansuna sneered, "Dear, you give me a magic weapon, I will help you kill her!"

Although Ansuna and Nefidili are cousins, they have been at odds since childhood. Ansuna is jealous of Nefidili's princess status and hates her for taking away her reputation as a beauty.

Nefidili means "the most beautiful woman", but Ansuna always believes that she is the most beautiful woman in Egypt. Nefidili is not worthy of this name at all, and calling her this name is simply an insult.

"I have a lot of magic weapons, but I don't want you to take risks." Xiang Nan looked at Ansuna and said.

The magic weapon that Nefidili got was the Sword of Damocles that the Scorpion King Meseus once obtained in "The Scorpion King 2".

This sword is said to be made by Zeus with lightning, which is extremely sharp and can cut anything in half. Damocles once used it to kill his own king, Philipine.

Afterwards, he presented the sword to Astarte, the god of love, war, the moon, and the underworld. Astarte placed it in the underworld, and it was later stolen by the Scorpion King and used to kill Sargon, the enemy who killed his father.

The goddess spared the Scorpion King because of his extremely strong physique, and only took back the sword. Unexpectedly, now, Nefidili has also found this sword.

Xiang Nan is not afraid of this sword, but he does not want Ansuna to take risks.
