The specific plan is to build a water diversion project from Blackwater through the intersection and then to the swamp area on the west side of the plate.
It can be considered a small section of canal, with a total length of just over a hundred kilometers.
This involves a river called Blackwater. There are two streams at the intersection and the west intersection. The five water sources all disappear as they flow. The farthest one is Blackwater, which disappears when it approaches the swamp. After checking the amount of evaporation, it was determined that it was turning into groundwater and flowing into the swamp.
The project is to reroute these rivers and streams and filter out supplementary water from the swamp area.
When the tectonic plates split, the swamp area was semi-dry for a period of time. Later, the rainfall pattern improved, and a larger area of water appeared again based on the thick water-retaining layer of the swamp. This water was mixed with muddy carbonaceous material and dead branches and leaves. You need to get an automatic water purification project to convert it to reclaimed water before it can be used.
The related projects of Little Bear City will take several years, but once Little Bear City starts population expansion, it will immediately create a population gap in other cities, thereby accelerating the overall population introduction rate of the Kingdom.
Based on comprehensive judgment, the time left for engineering exploration and planning is only two years.
But it doesn't matter. If the progress really can't be kept up, it can be done for a while by expanding the city walls in various places.
The work of expanding and rebuilding city walls is originally reserved for cities to resettle low-skilled populations. If a large engineering team is used to do this, there will be some minor troubles in the future, but it is also a problem that can be solved by the local government. It is not possible to temporarily expand the sanitation team. , or paint the city walls with camouflage paint.
The amount of water diversion projects is still relatively limited. With certain mechanization support, it will not last long, maybe three or four years.
There are also follow-up plans.
Wang Qi also made arrangements.
There is oil in the swamps in the western part of the Wind Valley Plate. Strictly speaking, most of the underwater silt in the entire area is made of peat. This stuff can even be burned directly after it dries, but the smoke is very strong and it is easy to self-extinguish. .
Further exploration showed that there is a huge peat layer above 300 meters underground. To drill for oil, we have to drill through hundreds of meters of mudstone and metamorphic rock.
It is not difficult to open a few holes, but the quality of the oil below is average, and it is a heavy oil type crude oil that is slightly heavier than water. The density of the early samples when the side cliffs did not block the oil layer was 1.02, and it is easy to mix with water with dissolved minerals. .
Oil and water are incompatible and can mix in the same horizontal layer, creating many additional risks for mining.
Mining from above is fine at one or two points, but on a slightly larger scale, the risk of swamp water infiltration is difficult to control. Although the project to comprehensively transform the swamp is large, much of it will be meaningless construction.
You still have to extract oil from the side.
To put it bluntly, a development line is needed through the swamp.
Two options are to build a western ring-island railway in the Wind Valley section, or a through-line including road works, power grids, pipeline facilities and booster stations.
...The existing railway around the island does not include the swamp area. The main reason is that the swamp is close to the edge. It is too difficult to build the railway due to the subsidence. Moreover, the border guards need to avoid the deadly threat of poisonous insects, and the amount of work required to clear the swamp is too huge. Therefore, the Fenggu Plate Circle Island Railway only uses the original railway as the west line and makes a circle on the east side.
[In view of the general environment,
It was changed to a long-term project. Wang Qi still felt that it would be more appropriate to solve the settlement problem and build a railway around the island.
Although Wang Qi is not very particular about environmental protection, he is not stupid either. The swamp itself is a biological reservoir, which is conducive to maintaining biodiversity. Once the water is drained, if any precious plants and animals in it become extinct, the technology will be developed in the future. None have to be developed.
The total area of this swamp accounts for a little more than a quarter of the total area of the Fenggu plate. Building the western line of the roundabout can maintain its integrity, and the total amount of work is actually not much different from that of the crossing project.
Although the crossing line is shorter, in order to protect the safety of the line, it must be isolated on both sides and must be protected by special troops. If it is attacked by a group of demons, this protruding part will still be easily cut off and is a weak node.
Choose the western route, including biological isolation zones and surrounding swamp defenses.
Tens of thousands of people would be busy for several years with network protection, foundation hardening construction, etc.
After making arrangements for the big projects in the next few years, the newly planted peanuts died again. After a few days of tossing, two versions were produced at the same time, and there was a new situation.
"Your Majesty, take a look at this." Lai Wen made a special trip to deliver a piece of paper with only half a form, and also mentioned the name of the inner court clerk who had screened out the form.
Wang Qi only glanced at it and frowned.
Li Xiang was also there at this moment. When he saw it, he said to Lai Wen, "Let's find a reason to promote him to a minor official."
Wang Qi knew that Lai Wen was very cautious, so he nodded and agreed to Li Xiang's reward plan.
After Laiwen left, Wang Qi called Natasha to come and get a piece of information from the exploration team.
Li Xiang collapsed on his side and said, "There are so many things going on in this poor place."
"In front of nature, human beings are originally very small creatures. Even the existence of ecosystems with similar shapes in different universes is enough to be called a miracle. This difficulty is nothing."
The two of them didn't rush to deal with it. They just basked in the sun for a while beside the flower bed where peanuts were planted. They waited for Natasha to come back before putting the two things together and looking at them.
The form sent by Laiwen came from the Astronomy Department of Phoenix University.
One of the reasons for establishing Phoenix University in the first place was to pass on the knowledge mastered by stargazers from various tribes of the Night Clan.
These second-generation stargazers inherited part of the astronomical observation knowledge and mathematical tools before the disaster. Although it was somewhat mixed with metaphysics, it would be a pity to lose them. The astronomy department was built on them.
Astronomy is a future subject, but it will also study the world we live in, but the proportion is very small. Most of the results are of little use to the current level of industrial system.
The piece of paper on hand is a surface linear velocity comparison table. The initial point is the second year of the first batch of admissions to Phoenix University.
The reference object for surface linear velocity is the center of the earth. When the time period remains unchanged, the higher the linear velocity, the farther the existing surface is from the center of the earth.
This problem is similar to what Wang Qi was most worried about in the early days of floating islands: the floating islands rose too high, causing the air pressure above the ground to be too low.
Calculated from the linear speed of the previous years, the meter moves away from the center of the earth by less than 1 kilometer per year. The average annual change rate of the air pressure recorded by the exploration expedition team, using Phoenix as the standard reference, is less than 15 hPa.
Air pressure, depending on the weather, can fluctuate by more than 100 hectopascals within a few days. It has a certain average annual fluctuation and rebounds from time to time. It is not easy to attract attention in the short term.
If this rate of change continues, it won't be a big deal. The temperature will drop by at most two or three degrees, and the Three Realms War will almost be over. The problem is that after the last round of temporary doors opened, there was an acceleration.
Not long after Wang Qi came back, he clearly remembered that there was a "Comprehensive Report on Sudden Magic Pulse", which mentioned that the source of the magic pulse that appeared at the same time as the previous world gate came from the center of the earth.
Therefore, the increase in linear speed is highly likely to be a linkage event that occurs at the same time as this event.
The impact cannot be seen in the short term, but it is difficult to say in the long term.
Fund the university to set up a tracking team and issue a reward to see if any prophets can help.
