Chapter 585 Conceived Power of United Islands

  Qu Mao and Kong Ming chatted all the way, riding war horses along the Ziguang trail all the way to Gandao, and after drawing the construction drawings of Gandao reservoir and artificial river, Kong Ming naturally asked the owner of Gandao to organize the construction of prisoners of war.

  After processing the planning and construction drawings of the water conservancy project in Gandao, Qu Mao and Kong Ming continued to Liandao to inspect the construction progress of Liandao Shipyard.

After Qu Mao asked Kong Ming to build a shipyard in Liandao, Qu Mao only heard from Zhen Fu that Kong Ming dispatched a large number of prisoners of war to the construction site of Liandao Shipyard, and creatively let some prisoners of war be on duty to build the shipyard, and some prisoners of war Repair the shipyard according to the actual situation, so as to speed up the construction progress of the shipyard.

  The so-called on-duty construction is nothing more than a gamification setting. In fact, prisoners of war do not need any actions or skills in it. As long as people stay on the construction site for a certain period of time and do nothing, the system will directly convert their physical energy consumption into the construction progress of the building.

   According to the actual construction, it is different. Someone needs to coordinate and plan. What should be done and what should not be done are all the same as the reality.

When Qu Mao and Kong Ming rushed to the construction site of the Liandao Shipyard, they found that the scale of the building was extraordinary. Nearly 100,000 prisoners of war were working on the construction site of the shipyard. There are less than 1,000 sergeant processing workers for the guards.

  Now the construction site of Liandao Shipyard has 100 times more people. Fortunately, prisoners of war do not need to pay wages, and there is no shortage of grain and territory in Yizheng.

There are so many people here, but only a few hundred people are on duty for the construction, and more people are preparing materials, some are carrying materials, and some are busy on scaffolding. It is the same as when there was no system to provide architectural drawings to build outlying island reservoirs. Same as the dam.

Kong Ming accompanied Qu Mao to stand on a hillside and observed the construction site of the Liandao Shipyard with a binoculars for a while, and Kong Ming said to Qu Mao: "My lord, Master Zhen Fu said that his subordinates mobilized 100,000 prisoners of war to build the construction site. The United Island Shipyard is actually not accurate.

Not all of these 100,000 prisoners of war are gathered at the construction site of the Lian Dao Shipyard right now. The other seven construction sites of the Lian Dao Project are still under construction, and a total of about 35,000 prisoners of war have been allocated. The shipbuilding site under your nose There are only 60,000 to 70,000 prisoners of war on the factory construction site.

There is also a large group of prisoners of war, adding up to tens of thousands of people, who are scattered around the eight construction sites to dig pits and fetch stones. These stones are the stones that need to be used on the construction sites. Similarly, it will be made into a storage tank in the future. After all, there is no natural fresh water source on the island. "

   Hearing what Kong Ming said, Qu Mao hurriedly looked around with a binoculars. Sure enough, there were prisoners of war digging deep pits in some places.

Kong Ming continued: "My lord, my subordinates did this for two reasons. One is to provide the nearby stone resources needed for the construction project of Lian Dao; the other is to dig a reservoir. After all, if Lian Dao builds a factory in the future, there will be no fresh water. is a big hassle.

   Relying solely on the joint island to preserve the remodeled reservoir in the folded space cannot meet the needs of many residents. In addition, the fresh water in the folded space is okay to irrigate the land, but it is not appropriate to use it for drinking. "

   Qu Mao smiled and said: "This territory is still a bit strange, islands with vegetation basically have fresh water sources, but islands without vegetation basically have no stable fresh water sources.

   This is true for the eight islands of the United Islands, and the same is true for Sky Island.

  Perhaps the birdman in the system left all the folded space in order to balance the survivability of all islands without vegetation.

  Now there are a total of 24 folding spaces left on the United Islands. Of course, every place where the folding spaces are concentrated has been surrounded by walls, and a large number of freedmen who have been transferred from prisoners of war have been housed.

  Kong Ming, since you have dug so many reservoirs, Liandao will also be industrialized in the future, why not consider using these reservoirs for water conservancy construction like Gandao. "

  Kong Ming said: "My lord, let's chat while walking around."

Qu Mao and Kong Ming took a pair of binoculars and walked around the island for a whole day. They almost went around the island once. They also pointed out to Qu Mao the three islands reserved by Kong Ming for Zhao Pan to plant pastures and raise war horses. .

In the evening, the two returned to the fifth-floor building in Lianzhen. Kong Ming said to Qu Mao: "My lord, it is already the end of September. The subordinates feel that the three islands used as pastures should be taken advantage of the large number of prisoners of war. Lay stones into artificial soil, let's scatter the pasture seeds first.

  It doesn’t matter what it can grow into for the time being, let’s see the sky, plant it first.

  My lord, you are right. In the future, glass factories, textile factories, and other factories will need to be built on the island, so the hydraulic power must be considered in advance.

   Early excavation of the cistern did not carry out this aspect of planning, but now the subordinates feel that it is necessary to artificially dig ditches to connect all the cisterns. "

   Qu Mao said: "Doesn't Liandao need to build a reservoir?"

Kong Ming said: "My lord, the island itself is composed of eight small islands with no vegetation, and there is no tomorrow's high place. Even if we connect some islands with the island project, the islands will still be filled with sea water. How can we get it? Into a freshwater reservoir?

   It is possible to build a reservoir to find power for the factory, but it loses the function of storing fresh water, so the gain outweighs the gain.

The subordinates took a brief look at the water storage ponds currently being dug on the eight islands. Basically, four to five water storage ponds have been dug on each island. No matter how small the island is, the number will not be small. It is the difference between the size and depth of the reservoir.

  According to the inference of the subordinates, as long as there are a few heavy rains, the fresh water accumulated on the islands will definitely be enough, and we don't need to develop freshwater fisheries like Sky Island.

   If you continue to dig ditches to connect the cisterns, you will definitely be able to store more fresh water, but after the ditches connect all the cisterns, unless it rains, it will be difficult to realize the water movement in the ditches. "

   Qu Mao said: "The water storage depth of each reservoir must be different. Let's add more gates, and it will definitely form a water flow in the ditch."

  Kong Ming said: "It is possible, but it depends on the sky, and the efficiency of the Liandao factory will definitely not be too high."

Qu Mao said: "Forget about these, arrange for the prisoners of war, and first dig a canal to connect all the reservoirs on the island. If it is not possible in the future, then consider opening an opening to lead to the sea. If one place flows, the whole ditch will inevitably follow. , we can store enough fresh water.”

  Kong Ming's eyes lit up, and he said, "My lord, this is a really good idea. We only need to control an outlet to lead the water into the sea. The premise is that the water storage level is higher than the sea level. This is very simple to achieve."
