Chapter 431 Water Conservancy Projects and Agricultural Construction

Countdown to regional resource integration is 105 days.

100,000 people, 300,000 people, 500,000 people, all the water supply channels needed must be replanned.

The territory now uses the stone canal built in the third era to supply the entire territory.

The supply capacity of the old canal is now stretched to its limits. This long canal several meters wide relied on the copper pipes and steam water supply rooms of the fourth era to supply the water needs of tens of thousands of people and lasted a little longer.

Centralized water supply has greatly alleviated the water pressure, but what they need to do in the future is to increase the population capacity of this city to

Not enough.

In addition to the growing domestic water use, industry itself is also a major water user.

The water demand for production buildings and in the fifth era has further increased, especially for the civilization that has chosen to move towards steam technology.

"How long do you think this construction plan will take? Can it be completed in 60 days?"

Chongshan flipped through the surveying and construction reports in front of him, and a new water supply plan was proposed together with the repair of flood control dams.

In the lower reaches of the river, they inevitably have to face the problem of flood season.

If they want to build a centralized water supply system that can sustain at least 300,000 people, they will have to face the problem of river flood season.

The upper reaches of the river need to build dams and reservoirs to store water and balance the flow... It's another big project. Fortunately, the territory now has enough manpower.

He flipped through the report and drew a variety of blueprints, which marked the height, width, and construction materials in detail.

All the engineering calculations of this construction report were completed by the auxiliary intellectual core brought back by the lord. Chongshan finally waited for the second affairs officer to work with him after almost two years.

The permanent affairs officer... Although...

He looked at the three-meter-tall steam engine soldier next to him. The blue eyes belonging to the steam engine soldier looked around, and the mechanical body revealed a hint of human curiosity.

The new affairs officer can't speak. Its body is a mechanical computer running next to the city hall.

A floating ship floating in the air hangs a temporary radio repeater that allows it to deploy itself to a farther place. Now Zhong can move freely within the territory.

They stood on the old embankment, a temporary flood control embankment made of stone, wood, and other materials.

This temporary flood control embankment has been with the territory for a year, protecting the territory from the test of nature.

Zhong heard Chongshan's question and watched the core rotate and sweep across the endless temporary embankment.

"If there are enough materials, the reconstruction of the entire river embankment can be completed within 45 days... It is necessary to increase the production capacity of cement and steel... There is redundancy in manpower, which is enough for use."

It stretched out its hand and gestured.

"The technical difficulty lies in how to build a controllable valve to regulate the flow of water in the territory. I can control some steam engines to help you build it... Use steam engines to control the valve, so that floods during the flood season will not affect the water supply system."

Valve, if you want to expand the flow, you must directly connect the inner and outer rivers, but this will put a lot of pressure during the flood season.

"There is no problem in the calculation. Just build according to the original plan."

Zhong's eyes fell on the thousands of acres of fertile land protected by rough flood control dams not far away. Today, the river bank of the territory has been fully developed, and there is no tree in sight.

There are only continuous fields.

Winter planting has been completed, and a new round of seeds has been sown.

It can see that a handful of green seedlings have begun to emerge from the dark brown soil very close to it. This is something it has never seen before...the vitality of plants and nature.

And in this dark brown farmland, there are large areas of dense water networks, and a large number of temporary rest stations are located in the fields.

The sky casts a shadow, which is a cargo-type floating ship working in the agricultural area.

The floating ship takes off and lands at the fixed docking station established in the farmland. These ships using floating stones transport the people from the rest area to the work site.

They do not need to travel long distances in this unobstructed agricultural area and take several hours to reach their farmland to start work.

Cheap low-speed aircraft replaced the land transportation tools that should have appeared.

There are at least fifty such cargo ships in this agricultural area that are constantly transporting goods in the sky, which greatly improves the transportation efficiency outside the territory.

All this is thanks to the floating stones obtained from the development of the Sky Island World... Sufficient floating stones allow them to use a large number of aircraft in an almost luxurious way, and these aircraft also have enough advantages in building hoisting and item construction.

The efficient logistics system allows this territory to utilize their resources to a level that other territories cannot reach.

"How about it, it's beautiful, right?"

Chongshan patted the body of the steam engine soldier beside him, with a little pride in his voice, and heard the muffled sound of the iron ringing echoing in its cavity.

It feels so good not to do data planning by yourself.

He has never been so relaxed in his life. When he thought that he could be freed from the complicated and inefficient mathematical calculations in the future, Chongshan breathed a sigh of relief.

Many of their work is [necessary] [repetitive]... The existence of mechanical computers can help them relieve the pressure on mathematics.

"After the dam is built, our next plan is to develop all the arable land on the east side of the river and plant different kinds of crops... That area is full of sugarcane fields, which consume the most water."

Riverbank.

East and west banks.

The west side has been undeveloped due to periodic floods and the difficulty in managing the population.

Zhong looked at the surging river and his eyes fell on the direction it was rushing.

The ocean, the lower reaches of the river eventually converged into the sea...The world where it was born was also an island, but it only saw dirty and toxic rivers and had never seen the ocean.

This was the first time it saw a real, flowing, natural river.

Calm, but with an unstoppable momentum.

The green water was rolling with a hint of turbid yellow, occasionally turning up some debris in the water, tree trunks and branches, and even the silver light that occasionally jumped out of the water.

"Better than what I remember... Although my memory is broken, it is much better than the world I was in before."

Zhong squatted down, picked a bunch of small white wild flowers and held them in his palm, startling a group of bees and butterflies.

It has no sense of smell, no sense of taste, and no sense of touch.

From the moment he was born, he was only accompanied by vision and electromagnetic wave perception that humans could not understand.

The butterfly seemed reluctant to give up its food, flapping its wings and returning to the bouquet in its hand, landing in front of the azure pupils.

What a nice world.
