Chapter 1428： Back to the Kingdom of Shaliu Hou

  Chapter 1428 Returning to the Marquis of Shaliu

   On the afternoon of October 1, the 14th year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao entered the underground world railway station at the entrance and exit of the underground world of the sacred land of Emperor Yi's territory, and took the latest steam train to Xirong City in the Western Continent of Shaliuhou Kingdom.

From the end of July in the 14th year of Tianxuan, the steam train from the Holy Land of Emperor Yi's Territory to Xirong City in the Western Continent started three times a day, so although Qu Mao arrived at the Underground World Railway Station in the afternoon, he was still able to take the steam train. The train goes to Xirong City in the western mainland.

  As for the supply of the Shaliuhou Kingdom in the western continent, the Holy Land of Emperor Yi’s territory is mainly fresh water and food. On the steam train, Qu Mao left and right were also bored, so they inspected all the freight cars.

  The cargo compartment of the steam train bound for Xirong City in the Western Continent is filled with fresh water and food. In fact, there is not much food, and the main thing is fresh water.

   Buckets of fresh water were piled up tightly in the truck compartment, and Qu Mao couldn't help sighing. There is not enough fresh water, and the livable renovation of Shaliuhou Kingdom is empty talk.

The steam train swayed on the railway in the underground world for three days and three nights. Only then did Qu Mao arrive at the Pass Railway Station in front of the two-way portal at the end of the world. After getting off the train, Qu Mao stopped at the Pass as usual, The garrison soldiers exchanged for a while, and then came to Xirong City of the Marquis of Shaliu through the two-way portal at the end of the underground world.

  Xirong City is more lively than when Qu Mao left at the end of July.

After exiting the two-way portal, Qu Mao randomly asked two residents walking on the streets of Xirong City to ask questions. He found that one of the two people randomly checked was a miner who came from the Holy Land of Emperor Yi's territory. The master, and the other is an entrepreneur who passed on from the Eastern Continent through the holy land of Emperor Yi's territory.

  After chatting with the two people, Qu Maocai was surprised to find that the time was around three o'clock in the afternoon, which should have been the hottest time of the day in the desert area.

As if he didn't believe his own judgment, Qu Mao looked up at the sky. According to the position of the sun, it was indeed around three o'clock in the afternoon. Before leaving Xirong City at the end of July, although the livable conditions of Xirong City had improved a lot, But it is still impossible to have so many residents on the street at the hottest time of 3:00 in the afternoon.

   When Qu Mao was stunned, walking on the streets of Xirong City, feeling that it was not particularly tormented, the lord of Xirong City, who had already received the news, rushed to meet Qu Mao with his followers.

   Before Qu Mao could react, several security soldiers rushed to Qu Mao with a huge parasol, and covered Qu Mao with the parasol.

  Looking up at the parasol made of white cloth above his head, Qu Mao waved his hand and said to the city lord of Xirong City: "City lord, there is no need for this, I don't care.

  Look at the pedestrians on the street, who is all this stuff? "

  The city lord of Xirong City smiled and said: "My lord, this parasol is still very necessary. Although the living environment of Xirong City has improved a lot, the protection work that must be done still needs to be done."

   Qu Mao was no longer obsessed with the parasol above his head, and asked: "City Master, I have only left Xirong City for more than two months. Why has the livable environment of Xirong City changed so much? Did something happen?"

The lord of Xirong City said: "My lord, Master Liu always thinks that Xirong City is the window town of the Marquis of Shaliu to Emperor Yi's territory. Therefore, after returning this time, Lord Liu asked his subordinates to store water for Xirong City at all costs, and dispatched 20 green plant technology experts from the Holy Land Lian Island to sit in Xirong City.

  Now the southeast city wall of Xirong City has achieved long-term water storage of 5,000 square meters of water. Green planting experts from Liandao Green City also took 20 tree branches from the Crescent Moon Spring in Yuexia City and carefully planted them beside the reservoir.

  In addition to the efforts made in the southeast of Xirong City in the past few days, there are patches of shrubs and weeds transplanted from the outskirts of Yuexia City at the corner of the southwest city wall of Xirong City. You have also seen it last time, my lord.

  In the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion, there are five tree seedlings that you personally planted in the early days and the tree seedlings that were replanted later, as well as the tumbleweed and camel thorn shrub seedlings that you and Master Liu planted together at the beginning of the year.

  On both sides of the road between the city hall and the city lord's mansion, the tumbleweed and camel thorn seeds that you asked to plant have sprouted.

Counting it all together, Xirong City already has 5,000 square meters of water area and no less than 3,000 square meters of green plant coverage area after hard work in the past few days. In addition, 20 green plant technical experts have carefully formulated plant planting plans, so Xirong City The city is suitable for residents to travel throughout the day, and it is also a matter of cleaning.

   It's just that it's still too hot at noon and afternoon, and it's still too cold in the middle of the night. Residents' activities in these two time periods are not frequent. "

Qu Mao nodded. It turned out that the reservoir had started to store water. He remembered the reasons that affected everyone’s decision to store water in the reservoir at first, so he asked, "Well, the water area of ​​5,000 square meters is now the daily evaporation of the reservoir. how?"

  The Lord of Xirong City said: "My lord, the cistern of Xirong City still has a lot of evaporation, so other towns, including Shaliu City, have not filled the cistern with water.

  At present, the small reservoir of 5,000 square meters in Xirong City will need to replenish about 30,000 tons of fresh water every day, which is equivalent to about 5% of the total fresh water replenished by the Holy Land to the Shaliuhou Kingdom every day. "

   Qu Mao nodded and said: "If it is only about 5% of the total fresh water supply, it is not unacceptable, but it is a pity that about 30,000 tons of fresh water are wasted in vain.

On the whole, Liu Qianhui's arrangement is quite reasonable. The Holy Land can supply 600,000 tons of fresh water to the Marquis of Shaliu every day, of which about 300,000 tons will be used by the military and civilians. 10,000 tons a day, other activities consume 180,000 tons a day, in fact, it can store another 5,000 square meters of water. "

  The Lord of Xirong City said: "My lord, there is fresh water in Yueya Spring Pool in Yuexia City, it would be too much to expand Xirong City's water storage by 5,000 square meters.

Now Xirong City is carrying out water storage and planting according to the recommendations of green planting experts. It is estimated that by the end of March in the fifteenth year of Tianxuan, the 5 plant seedlings you planted will no longer need careful care, and you and Master Liu will personally The planted camel thorns and tumbleweeds are growing steadily, coupled with the new plants planted by the green planting technical experts within 5 months, the subordinates believe that there will be no problem in adding another 10,000 square meters of water storage by then. "

   Qu Mao nodded, and said: "Very well, I will rest in Xirong City tonight, and I will go to Shaliu City after dawn tomorrow, and take a look at the weather in Xirong City in the morning and evening."

  The city lord of Xirong City said: "Yes, my lord! The subordinates will arrange your reception work."
