Chapter 1396 The Arrival of the Green City Team
On February 15th, the fourteenth year of Tianxuan, when the sky was slightly bright, the newly captured town in the territory of the Marquis of Shaliu—Yuexia City began to become lively.
As the sky became slightly brighter, a steady stream of people began to enter the city under the moon.
The Firearms Army soldiers who entered first, this time Shi Buhui once again dispatched a total of 10,000 Firearms Army soldiers from Yueshangcheng and Yuezhongcheng to the Moonxia City on duty, plus the Firearms Army soldiers who escorted 3,000 prisoners of war to Yueshangcheng the day before. Returning, the total number of firearms soldiers stationed in and around Moon City has reached 20,000.
Of course, the evening before, Shi Buhui had already arranged for 3,000 soldiers from the Firearms Army to go to the three selected garrison defense locations closest to Yuexia City, preparing to start building permanent defensive positions. There are 1,000 permanent troops, and this number is expanded to 3,000 during wartime.
Before dawn in the morning, Shi Buhui dispatched another 3,000 Firearms Army soldiers out of Yuexia City. They will build three more garrison positions in addition to the three defensive positions built last night. 3,000 Firearms Army soldiers will also be sent out to build three garrison defense positions in the farthest places.
Of the nine permanent garrison positions outside the city selected by Qu Mao and others, the closest to Yuexia City is the oasis in the east, only 5 kilometers away from the east gate of Yuexia City.
Of course, the furthest of the first three permanent garrison positions is only 7 kilometers away from Yuexia City.
All nine permanent garrison locations outside the city, the farthest point is 21 kilometers away from Yuexia City, that is, within the range of 5 kilometers to 21 kilometers from Yuexia City, nine permanent garrison positions have been set up in three directions. The nine positions can communicate with each other, and the traffic is within a day or a night, which is what Qu Mao is most satisfied with.
After tens of thousands of firearms soldiers entered Yuexia City, a team of 81 green plant experts, led by the owner of Liandao Greening City, a holy place in Emperor Yi's territory, also entered Yuexia City through the north gate of Yuexia City.
Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui knew how important the team of green planting experts was to the territory of the Marquis of Shaliu at the current stage, so the standard of reception was very high.
The important heroes of Yuexia City, such as Sunan and Shi Buhui, were called by Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui, and together they greeted the expert team of green plants at the north gate of Yuexia City.
After the extremely warm welcome ceremony, the city lord of Green City walked up to Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui, bowed and said, "My lord, Mr. Liu, can someone else be responsible for receiving the subordinate team? This subordinate would like to ask Mr. Liu and Mr. Liu alone. Report on the gains of the past ten days."
Qu Mao was stunned for a moment, then nodded, beckoned to Shi Buhui, and arranged for Shi Buhui to be in charge of receiving the green plant expert team from Green City.
The lord of the green city also ordered other members of the green plant technical team to investigate the soil, light and fresh water supply of the city under the moon.
Afterwards, Qu Mao, Liu Qianhui and Green City boarded the city wall of Yuexia City together, and walked eastward along the city wall.
While walking, Qu Mao asked: "City Master, do you have some discovery that is not suitable to share with everyone, and you want to tell Liu Qianhui and me alone?
It has been nearly 10 days since your team came to the Marquis of Shaliu, and you have come to some conclusions. "
Liu Qianhui stretched out her hands to cover the venomous sun, then gave up this pointless effort, and said dissatisfiedly: "Tell me what you have, it's mysterious."
The lord of the green city nodded and said: "My lord, Mr. Liu, the green plants of the Shaliuhou Kingdom have transformed the desert environment, and my subordinates have indeed come to some conclusions, but these conclusions are not important, after all, we have never encountered such a situation before. In an environment with such a huge temperature difference between day and night, it may be difficult to find suitable trees for planting in Salix Hou from the known plant species.
To transform the desert environment outside the Kingdom of Salix, I am afraid that we have to start with the plants that grow on their own around the Kingdom of Salix.
But the subordinates invited Sir and Master Liu to take a walk on the city wall alone because they had other matters to discuss. "
Liu Qianhui frowned and asked, "What's the matter? We are the only ones here, and the firearms soldiers stationed on the city wall are not on the city wall because the temperature is too high. You don't have to have any scruples.
Although Yuexia City is in the Gobi terrain and has the water source of Crescent Moon Spring, the temperature on the city wall is still terribly hot after the sun comes out. "
The lord of Green City said: "Master Liu, my subordinates have already had a deep experience of the scorching heat here in other towns of the Marquis of Shaliu, so I will keep things short.
What the subordinate wants to communicate with the two adults is: Do the two adults value the first-level city wall in Xiacheng District this month? "
Qu Mao glanced at Liu Qianhui, then at the city lord of the green city, and said, "We don't think this level of city wall is very important. The artillery team only needs to deploy 10 cannons, and within an hour, the city of Yuexia City can definitely be destroyed. All the high-level city walls were blasted down.
However, with this first-order city wall here, it can withstand the harsh weather in some deserts and Gobi areas. "
The city lord of Green City waved his hand and said, "My lord, it is unnecessary to blow up the walls of this level.
The subordinates are just thinking: If the city wall of the Moon City is expanded to the scale of the Moon City or Mid-Moon City, we can at least enclose two original shrubs in the city, so that the green plants brought from the Green City will When the technicians are researching, even if they are researching in the city, the accidents will be quite low.
Of course, in order to completely change this situation of extreme temperature difference, the subordinates believe that it may be possible to start with a large area of water, because only a large area of water can regulate the surrounding temperature.
If there is a large area of water, the surrounding temperature difference between day and night should be at least 20 degrees smaller, and there will be no such drastic changes in day and night temperature difference. The subordinates believe that it will naturally be of great benefit to the growth and survival of plants.
We also have to be fully aware that planting trees in desert areas to improve the natural environment does not mean that the trees can grow alive, and we have to choose plants that are resistant to drought and can conserve water without excessively taking groundwater..."
Qu Mao waved his hand and said, "City Master, I don't really understand the professional knowledge you mentioned, but I don't think it's a big problem to expand the city wall, and we also have this need. Now that Yuexia City is so small, we feel very depressed. .
Now that four barracks are built, it seems that the area in the city is very crowded..."
Liu Qianhui said: "Okay, there's no need to brave the scorching sun to discuss this issue here. Starting this evening, we will continue to build a second-tier city wall 500 meters away from the current city wall, so that Yuexia City will be of the same specifications as other towns. Yes, the city wall is two kilometers long on each side and has a second-tier city wall."
Qu Mao called the two of them to go down the city wall together, and said as they walked, "Residents from other towns can be recruited to help complete this task. The sooner it can be repaired, the better."
Liu Qianhui nodded and said, "Don't worry, Qu Mao, work will start this evening, and we will try to fix it within a week."
