The Sacred Ding Chapter 395: River course

　　Su Ling guarded her identity as a concubine, and didn't want to appear in the public at the same time with Chen Li, so she returned to Tianjiya first.

　　Chen Hai took the cheeky Qi Hanjiang and walked to the Zhudian, the meeting place of the Academy in Juquanling.

　　 The craftsmen and apprentices rushing to and fro, seeing Chen Hai pouring out their salutes, Chen Hai also nodded.

　　 Zhang Xiong, Zhao Ruhui, Guo Hongpan, Xue Cun and others realized that there was such a big movement outside. It was not that Qi Hanjiang was playing treasures, but Chen Hai was busy returning to the Palace of Heavenly Secrets. Welcoming him into the conference hall of the bamboo hall.

　　 is also a coincidence. Zhang Xiong, Zhao Ruhui, Guo Hongpan and others are also gathering in the bamboo hall to discuss matters.

　　Different from other sects or clan sects, where everyone sits down and sits separately on long cases, the bamboo hall’s discussions are based on a round table system, and they are qualified to enter the room and discuss the highest-level affairs of the palace. Discuss things around a long oval table.

　　 Looking at the furnishings in the side hall, Chen Hai thought maliciously, if these old men in Taoist robes were all put on suits or white coats, wouldn’t they be the same as the earth?

　　 Thinking of the earth, Chen Hai felt sad for a while, fearing that there would be no chance to return to his hometown.

　　He randomly found a seat and sat down and asked Zhao Ruhui and the others: "Master Zhao, what are you discussing today?"

　　 Except for Zhang Xiong as the culprit of the Xiqiang Rebellion, and 20,000 or 30,000 people who were exiled to Liquan by Chen Hai, Zhao Ruhui and others joined the Tianji Academy. They did not have any obligation to Longxiang Camp and Chen Hai, but they resisted. The brutal invasion itself is righteous and it is the responsibility of everyone. Zhao Ruhui and the others gathered again today and are still discussing how to do their best to support the construction of the Yuchengling defense line.

　　After hearing Zhang Xiong and Zhao Ruhui talk about what they had discussed before, Chen Hai slightly nodded, and a lot of work is still proceeding in an orderly manner in the direction he expected, saying:

　　"The monster army began to shrink north. This winter’s defensive battle is coming to an end, but the Yuchengling line is far from stable, and the pressure on subsequent construction is even greater. The input of young and strong labor has been with Tianshui. The county has negotiated that Zhou, Wu, Qu and other tribes will no longer block the landless poor and move north to Yandangyuan to find a livelihood. It is estimated that nearly 200,000 people will move to settle along the middle reaches of the Guanhe River this year. However, there are a lot of sophisticated tools. And the commonly used materials, Hengshan needs two or three years to build many workshops, and it still needs to be transported from Liquan in the early stage. However, the current capacity of the three Fengyan airships is too limited and they are continuously used, and the pressure of maintenance is also great. ——A more important issue, Yandang Plain is a plain of Yimapingchuan, with lakes and ridges in the territory. Even if there are minerals in the ground, it cannot be mined. The large amount of copper and iron ore needed for the construction of the city can only be mined from the deep mountains at the western foot of Qintong Mountain. But shipping out is a big trouble... Do you have any better ideas?"

　　 The gold-quenched iron in Qintong Mountain is extremely rare, and there are many common iron and copper mines. Tianji Xuegong has long discovered dozens of large copper and iron veins in the west, but the biggest difficulty at present is the huge amount of The copper and iron ore was transported from the deep mountains at the western foot of Qintong Mountain.

　　 The capacity limit of the three Fengyan airships is 600,000 kilograms. In addition, the main components such as airbags, dragon wrecks, davits and Fengyan steam boxes need to be maintained, repaired and replaced regularly. The ultimate capacity for one year is also 100 million catties.

　　 At the same time, the loading and unloading of copper and iron ore into the Fengyan airship is quite inconvenient.

　　 Before the war, Chen Hai assembled thousands of strong laborers at the Xilu Mine, dedicated to the mining, loading and unloading of copper and iron ore, and managed to maintain this matter, but this was extremely uneconomical. .

　　 The previously built Tongkou City only considered 30,000 to 50,000 soldiers and horses to be stationed, and the city wall was only built to a height of three meters; and the real Tongkou City in the future must be considered to resist the invasion of the blood demons.

　　

　　 can accommodate hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people nearby, to escape disasters. On the one hand, the area of ​​the city is expanded on a considerable basis, and the height of the city wall needs to reach 20 meters or more.

　　 At this time, I still want to melt iron to build a city, and in the future, I will build ten major cities on the Yuchengling line. The consumption of copper and iron ore is far from the concept of one or two billion catties.

　　 Everyone talked about it. Some people suggested that in addition to the three Fengyan airships already being built, more Fengyan airships should be built. Some people suggested building a plank road against the cliffs of Qintong Mountain, and others suggested using them. The Tonghe River is used for transportation in the deep mountain waterway at the western foot of Qintong Mountain.

　　 Each suggestion has limitations.

　　 Fengyan airship cannot be built fast, and the repair cost after putting it into use is actually not low. Not to mention, if an airship is used so frequently and the airbag is replaced once a year, it requires two to three thousand top-grade animal skins. ; Even if there are ten Fengyan airships, in fact, it is far from meeting the demand for capacity.

　　To build a plank road is to insert beams and pillars on the cliff's steep wall, and then pave bamboo and wood section by section. However, the width of the plank road is limited. It can easily pass by a carriage in one direction at the top, and I want to build a road from Liquan to Hengshan Thousand-mile plank road is not something that can be completed in a year, and the final capacity is far from meeting the requirements.

　　 Tong River connects Liquan with Hengshan and Tongkou, but the Tong River passes through the deep mountains and ridges at the western foot of Qintong Mountain. There is a drop of 3,000 meters in height. Not to mention the rapid water risk, the whole river has a section. The cascading discharge made it difficult for boats to pass.

　　 Otherwise, the current land and water passage would have been formed from Hengshan to Tongbei, and there is no need to wait until now.

　　 However, when it comes to the transportation of bulk materials, using river channels is undoubtedly the most convenient and economical way.

　　 "Cough cough!" Chen Hai coughed lightly, interrupting the discussion of everyone, and with a wave of his hand, the topographic map of thousands of miles from Tianji Academy to Yandangyuan was slowly presented in a light curtain.

　　"The cost of transporting Fengyan airships is too high. Even if there are ten or even 20 airships, billions of catties of iron ore each year cannot be transported out of Qintong Mountain. Not to mention the places where Fengyan airships are needed are too high. Many. It’s not impossible to build a plank road, but it requires a lot of manpower and material resources in the early stage, and the future capacity is also limited-this is something to do, but it can only be done slowly, and one can be built in five years. Even if the road connecting Hengshan is successful, the energy in the early stage should be placed on the Tonghe River. The Tonghe River winds out from the eastern foot of Qintong Mountain and goes west through Liquan. After exiting Qintong Mountain, it has been To the north, to the vast sea. And in Qintong Mountain, there are also countless streams and lakes, which can connect the mining sites with the Tonghe River, and we can even cultivate more fields in the western foothills. ……"

　　In addition to Zhou Jun, Wu Meng, Cao Shan and other tribes, Chen Hai also admitted refugees and prisoners of war in Juquanling in his early years, and later the Zhang family moved in more than 20,000 criminals. The population of Liquan had already been 300,000. Huge.

　　 Liquan Mountain has a lot of land and little fields, and it is a loss that, except for the Tianji Academy, the various cliques in the Liquan Dazao Workshop can accommodate such a large population.

　　Of course, in order to relieve the pressure of land and grain, Chen Hai also found relatively open valleys and flat dams in the deep mountains west of Juquanling, almost on both banks of the Tonghe River, to build villages and relocate some of the landless poor. Go in and cultivate.

　　 At the same time, in the deep mountains, there are also some indigenous villages. There are also hundreds of thousands of mountain people living in and out of the world.

　　 Now the only way to connect the Tonghe river is to form an extremely rare waterway channel between Hengshan and Liquan. Naturally, the minerals in the deep mountains of the western foothills of Qintong Mountain are not difficult to transport out. The amount is much more difficult than building a simple plank road.

　　 Within five years, this will simply be impossible.

　　" It’s impossible to completely penetrate the river, but only

　　

　　 is only one-way transportation of copper and iron ore downstream, it is not too difficult," Chen Hai said, "the Tonghe River travels 1,400 miles to the west, and there are mainly four main overlapping streams, such as the west of Juquan Lake. To go, it is directly a cliff that is more than a hundred high, but we set up a transfer station at the top of the cliff to transport hundreds of millions of iron and copper from the top of the cliff. It is actually much easier than to transport it up from the bottom of the cliff. You even need to stick to the rock cliff and build a slide to dump the iron ore down..."

　　 Everyone thinks about it. It’s easier to collect millions of catties and tens of thousands of catties of copper and iron ore in front of the cliff and dump it directly under the cliff of 100 meters. It is definitely easier than transporting it to the cliff of 100 meters. More...

　　Transportation is one thing, and how much manpower and material resources are required to mine such a huge amount of copper and iron ore in the hinterland of Qintong Mountain every year?

　　 Everyone frowned at the thought of this.

　　Hengshan and Tongkou are short of manpower. Can they spare 200,000 young men into the mountains for mining?

　　Chen Hai has long considered this, and the puppetry of organs must be applied. If by this time he still needs to use manpower to dig ore with one hammer and one pick, he will have the reputation of being inferior to the palace of heaven. Take out a stack of picture scrolls from the material ring and hand them to Zhang Xiong, Zhao Ruhui and others.

　　 Rolling blade mining truck drawings, rail transportation drawings, etc. There are dozens of drawings and conceptual drawings. Zhang Xiong and Zhao Ruhui are dazzled and confused, especially the rolling blade mining vehicle, which is actually in Tian Locomotive. Mining components are installed at the front end of the machine, which can also be driven by a wind flame power box.

　　 Of course, when Zhang Xiong, Zhao Ruhui, Guo Hongpan and others saw the drawings of the mining vehicles, they all thought that if the mining parts were replaced with spiral sharp blades, would it be possible for all the traditional dense formations, including Chen Hai’s own The spears and heavy armors created will all be wiped out?

　　 I wanted to come at this time. I was outside of Yuchi City, and I didn’t even lose the slightest injustice.

　　 Zhang Xiong, Zhao Ruhui and others suddenly became confused again. I believe Chen Hai would never fail to think of this. Once Longxiang Daying is equipped with such a bladed chariot, it will be used in conjunction with a heavy-bore crossbow and equipped with a simple monster. How can the soldiers resist? Do they still need to spend so much effort to build a city in Yuchengling by melting iron?

　　Chen Haifei worked so hard~IndoMTL.com~To build a city in Yuchengling by melting iron, what are the guards against the monsters?

　　 Of course, Chen Hai didn’t say anything, Zhang Xiong, Zhao Ruhui, and Guo Hongzhen didn’t think about it. They just asked, "Is this mining truck going to be manufactured in secret?"

　　Chen Hai nodded. I believe Zhang Xiong and others have already understood the great value of the mining vehicle structure. Zhao Ruhui was asked to supervise the production of the mining vehicle, and then Zhang Xiong was left to speak alone.

　　 The Zhang clan was defeated under Yuchi City. More than 20,000 people were exiled to Liquan by Chen Hai along with Zhang Xiong. However, Liquan was too narrow, and most of the Zhang clan didn’t even have farmland to support their families. At this point, most people have arranged to work in many workshops, and don't even think about resuming their previous life.

　　 Chen Hai wants to move some of the Zhang clan to Hengshan and Tongkou to settle down, so that most of the Zhang clan can be separated and take root in Yandangyuan.

　　 To talk about a high-quality population, Chen Hai also has 20,000 disciples of the Zhang family. After several years of polishing and refinement, they have honed away their frivolity, arrogance, and disdain for the bottom. It should be worthwhile.

　　 Zhang Xiong also knows that this is a good opportunity for the Zhang family to rise again in Yanzhou, and it is also a real rise. Naturally, he will not refuse to agree. He really knelt down in front of Chen Hai and shouted: "All but the lord's orders!" He was truly willing to vote in front of Chen Hai's account.

　　 "Duke Zhang does not need to be courteous, the world is only difficult, I just wait for mutual support." Chen Hai helped Zhang Xiong up and said.

　　Worried about the repetition of the blood cloud wasteland, Chen Hai returned to Tianjiya to find a clean room, urged the snake bracelet, and then again, sneaked into the blood cloud wasteland again.
