I didn’t go back directly after the meeting. I stayed one night in the institute and went to the next stop the next day, the central cooling tower and slime mold center.
He passed by the Magic Academy and didn't go in. Although it was important, he didn't like this kind of aristocratic place very much.
The first and second batch of graduates were as expected. Most of them returned to their families after graduation to serve their own businesses and workshops, or to work as wild mages. Military, administrative, and industrial enterprises combined, They only account for about one-fifth of the total number of graduates, and most of them are recommended by the Night Clan and Sharp Blade School.
Ignore the affairs of the college for the time being. There are big things to do today, and I am going to plant a big tree.
The central reservoir area and the central cooling tower were overall planned at the same time. After the water volume increased, it did not affect the operation of the central cooling tower.
The current central reservoir area looks almost like a palette shape when viewed from the sky, with a series of small islands on the top near the southeast side... which are actually the hills inside the earlier reservoir area.
The cooling tower and slime mold center are located on the hills closest to the east coast, with a ridge connecting the cooling tower.
In order to prevent the external water circulation pipe connecting the central cooling tower from being submerged, the mountain ridge was manually processed and raised with a two-lane steel-concrete bridge. The water pipe is on the side of the bridge deck. The designed maximum water level is about two meters away from the lower wall of the pipe. rice.
The slime mold center has to go around a section from the cooling tower, then cross a bridge, and be on another island... This is mainly to prevent biochemical crises caused by uncontrolled slime mold.
Wang Qi and his party did not go to the slime mold center, but boarded the boat west of Island No. 1 in the cooling tower.
Since the water level has been rising, there is no fixed dock yet. In order to facilitate the cleaning of the reservoir area and the maintenance of artificial glaciers, some small floating docks are used, which are special sampans with several anchor chains to facilitate the docking of small boats.
In fact, there is no floating dock, which does not prevent the boat from finding a place to dock, but there are not so many good boatmen nearby, so be careful.
Bai Xiaojiao was too heavy to get on the boat. Although it swam in the swimming pool in the palace, he was still afraid that it would drown halfway, so he waited with Natasha on the shore. Wang Qi took out a big fish from the pocket hanging on it. The artifact book No. is held by oneself.
The ship is driven by the ghost researcher Baha. It has no entity and relies on the magic of the mage to affect the physical world.
As soon as the boat left the dock, Wang Qi looked at Li Xiang, and her hand was holding the corner of his clothes.
Because they were not attending a ceremony, neither of them were wearing armor, otherwise they wouldn't be able to pinch them if they wanted to.
“How was the boat ride?”
"It's...a bit...weird."
The boat is very small, so as long as the oars hit the water, it will change its posture. Coupled with the influence of water waves, the shaking is very complicated.
Li Xiang had high attributes, but he couldn't use his strength on a broken wooden boat, and people were swaying around along with the boat.
The overall instantaneous acceleration she could withstand was so great that it was difficult to faint, it was just uncomfortable.
Not seeing his face turn green, Wang Qi gave him a smile: "Stabilize the center of gravity of your upper body and minimize the displacement of your head. You will get used to it after a while."
"……Let me try."
After all, it has ridiculous attribute support. If you want to do it, you can definitely do it. You will get used to it and relax quickly.
“It really works!”
"Of course, this is the method the king came up with."
"Huh!"
Bragging, in fact, the king did not come up with it, this is how to prevent seasickness.
Just like a bird's head will remain basically stable while moving, the same goes for seasickness. If a ball of jelly is sloshing around in the skull, can you not get dizzy? Therefore, you must use your own control to reduce the displacement acceleration of your head as much as possible when swinging with the ship.
The boat is very slow, about ten kilometers, it takes an hour.
It was a novel experience for Li Xiang. Wang Qi got tired of facing the calm reservoir for a while and rested against her for a while.
…
When he opened his eyes again, Wang Qi suddenly said:
"It's such a good assassination opportunity, it's a pity that no one comes."
Li wanted to give him a look.
Wang Qi explained: "Don't all storybooks like to use assassination?"
Li Xiang ignored him.
Finding nothing to do, Wang Qi began to check the basic development settings of the giant city. This thing was too big and it would be difficult to adjust it once it was planted.
After a while, Li Xiang suddenly said: "There must be some kind of benefit in killing people. Revenge or annexing family property to assassinate you. Even if you succeed, you will only get death. This country will not become an assassin." "
"Well, the analysis is very good, but there are always a lot of guys in the world with abnormal brain circuits."
"I will protect you." Li Xiang said.
Wang Qi smiled knowingly, she had said this when she was a child.
…
After paddling for another half an hour, we finally reached the shore.
There is someone to greet you here.
The commander of the 2nd company of the 6th battalion of the 2nd garrison regiment, and the 1st company commander of the 7777th battalion.
"See Your Majesty!" A group of people beat their chests in salute, and those outside at their posts did not need to salute.
Of course, it's impossible for just two people to plant a sacred tree. The tree also needs people to protect it.
The location was determined long ago, and the two companies came up two months in advance to arrange the garrison. Audrey, who had no specific matters to do, would occasionally come over.
"Thank you for your hard work, this tastes pretty good."
They were not taught how to reply, they just giggled.
The smell on the island comes from the decay of vegetation, which is recycled from the reservoir area.
After a large collision caused the volcanic belt to extinguish, vegetation began to invade this area. It was slow at first. By the time the reservoir area was planned, mosses and herbaceous plants were all over the mountains and plains, as well as shrubs that were relatively unadapted to the thin soil layer and were very rare. and small trees.
After being submerged, these things either rot in the lake bed or float.
They are not aquatic plants. They will only rot in the water and cause eutrophication of the water body. Later management will take more effort. It is better to just fish them up and plant sacred trees.
The island where the 2nd Company of the 6th Battalion of the 2nd Regiment is stationed has an area of a little more than one square kilometer under the current water level. One-third of it is a landfill of salvaged vegetation. They are being decomposed by fungi and small insects and have a strong natural smell.
Don't worry about the underwater ones, because due to the lack of oxygen, even without the help of microorganisms, the carbonation direction will be the main direction, and the harm to the water body is very low.
Moreover, the reservoir is not all aerosol water. In order to activate the water body, water, aquatic plants and fish fry from the Nameless Lake were airlifted from Erte. This is just because the water temperature in the central reservoir is much lower and the microbial reproduction rate is not high, so the effect has not yet been produced. , mainly relying on manpower.
The cleaning and maintenance of the reservoir area are also the responsibility of Yinghuo City residents.
The floating debris has to be transported to the central island where there was no one before. The work is difficult to measure and is mainly contracted by companies. In total, there are about two to three thousand residents doing this.
In short, Wang Qi just planted trees today, walked around the landfill despite the smell, and planted the big tree seeds a few meters above the waterline.
The development of the giant sacred tree requires an excessive amount of water. In the first stage, it is calculated as billions of tons. It is unrealistic to rely on human power to transport it, so you can only suck it yourself.
The central reservoir already has nearly half of its capacity. Water is a small problem. What really limits the development of the giant sacred tree is biomass and metal elements.
