Chapter 69： Unity of will, the canal is opened

Early the next morning.

Lin You took the people who had signed up for mining to the barren mountain range behind Huangsha City and started arranging for them to collect ores.

Lin You strolled around the neighborhood.

Sure enough, as Xue Changgui said, there are two artificially excavated mines that lead directly to the iron ore and copper ore veins below.

And the mineral content is extremely amazing, even far beyond Lin You's imagination.

"Because the underground rock formations near us are relatively shallow, veins like this can be seen everywhere."

Standing aside, Xu Zhong explained in a timely manner.

Xue Changgui was too old to go up the mountain, so he sent him to follow Lin You and lead the way.

Hearing his explanation, Lin You's eyes brightened: "Is there such a thing? Why did the lord choose to leave in the end?"

You must know that having such a huge ore vein near the territory is definitely a unique advantage for a lord.

No matter how many people can't grab it, it's really incomprehensible, or stupid, that the lord just gave up.

Xu Zhong didn't seem to dare to comment on other lords, and smiled bitterly: "Lord Lord, you also know that our place is remote and the environment is harsh. Apart from this ore vein, there is nothing to ask for, few people can stand it, so does that lord. It took a month before I couldn't bear to move out."

"That's true."

Lin You nodded silently.

The environment of Huangsha City is really unbearable for ordinary people.

If it weren't for his plant system's extremely strong survivability, he probably wouldn't be able to keep going.

Looking back now, he seems to have earned it?

The appearance of these ore veins solved his ore resource problem at once, and he could even build many buildings that he had not dared to build before, and could also be used to build the city defense of Huangsha City.

It was a surprise to him.

This abandoned city doesn't seem to be as bad as he imagined.

Thinking of this, Lin You suddenly burst out with infinite energy, and began to distribute the mining tools he had just made in the [production workshop], calling on the people to start collecting ores, and then transporting them back to the territory.

In order to improve their lives, those territorial residents were naturally motivated and digging hard. After a while, there was a clanging sound in the mine, and the scene was quite lively.

After looking at the place for a while to confirm that there was nothing wrong, Lin You left the mountain with the plants around him and rushed back to the territory.

On the way back, he also stopped by the newly reclaimed farmland for a look, and found that the batch of seeds planted the day before yesterday still showed no signs of sprouting.

Not to mention the second and third batches that were planted later, there was no movement at all.

It seems that there is no water source for irrigation, even his special seeds grow extremely slowly, which is a bit difficult...

Lin You couldn't help frowning.

"Lord, you are here."

At this time, Xue Changgui, who was inspecting the condition of the farmland in the distance, also found Lin You and hurried up to greet him.

"Why are you here?" Lin You turned his head in surprise.

"I have nothing to do, come and check the condition of the farmland." Xue Changgui smiled awkwardly, "I don't know if the lord came here specially, what are your orders?"

"It's nothing, I just stopped by to see the situation of the farmland. I didn't expect it to grow so slowly."

"Are you talking about these seeds?" Xue Changgui looked at the newly renovated farmland next to him, "It is indeed a lot slower than other places."

"But there's nothing we can do about it. Who told us that the environment here is not good. If we changed it to the past, we could only grow some cassava and the like to make a living. The seeds given by the lord can grow in such a place. incredible."

"Then have you never thought about connecting to the water source before?" Lin You asked.

"Of course I have thought about it, but around here... except for a few dry wells with some water, where will there be any water sources?"

Xue Changgui looked around at the barren land around him and couldn't help sighing.

As an old man here, why doesn't he hope this place will get better?

It is precisely because the efforts of generations have been fruitless that so many people finally choose to leave their homes and flee to other places.

After all, they are just ordinary people, and their abilities are always limited.

Lin You stood aside, naturally he could feel his helplessness, his eyes were a little dignified.

During this time, it was not that he had not thought about solving the problem of water sources, and he even arranged for the wood demon dragon to go out to explore the surroundings every day to find water sources.

But the result was nothing, nothing was found.

There is such a big problem, even if he wants to improve the living environment in Huangsha City, there is nothing he can do.

swoosh—

Just as he was thinking, there was a sound of breaking through the air.

The wood demon dragon that went out to explore the water just flew back from outside.

Originally, Lin You was mentally prepared to return in disappointment, but unexpectedly, there was a sudden message from Wood Demon Dragon that the water source had been found.

"Have you found a water source!?"

Lin You was shocked, and immediately went up to meet him.

Through the contact with the wood demon dragon, he quickly confirmed this matter, and immediately followed the wood demon dragon with ecstasy, and hurried to the mountains on the edge of the Gobi.

When he took all the plants over the mountains and came to a mountain stream five kilometers away, he saw an underground river flowing under a deep hole that had been blasted out.

Isn't that the source of water he was looking for?

It was only after some inquiry.

It turned out to be because the fun-loving Mushroom Demon King secretly rode on the back of the Wood Demon Dragon while he was going to the mine, and ran out everywhere.

When I saw a small animal running past, I threw a few explosive mushrooms down.

In the end, the small animals didn't explode, but instead exploded an underground river.

I really don't know whether to scold it or praise it.

"Forget it, for your merit, I won't blame you this time."

Lin You patted the mushroom king's head.

The Mushroom Demon King, who was still huddled in the corner, jumped up and down happily.

Seeing this, Lin You suddenly smiled bitterly, ignored it, and rushed back to the territory again.

Although the water source was found, it was far from the territory.

A full five kilometers.

And it's still in the rocky underground.

If it wasn't for the explosive power of the Demon King, I'm afraid there would be no way to blast such a deep rock. No wonder the residents of Huangsha City haven't discovered this underground river for so long.

And even if they were found, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to open a canal on the rock.

Of course, things like UU reading are not difficult for a lord, at most it takes more time.

So after returning to the territory, Lin You immediately used the magical energy accumulated in the past two days to recruit the fifth-order grass and tree spirits to mutate.

Good luck this time.

When the mutation reached the ninth time, two bursting mushrooms appeared.

In addition to the Mushroom Demon King and the one that mutated the day before yesterday, there are a total of four Exploding Mushrooms.

The canal blasting team was established!

Then Lin You took the blasting team and a few other plants and rushed to the direction of the underground river.

The residents were also very excited when they received the news.

They all mobilized, picked up tools to dig out the land outside the city, prepared to dig a river channel, and did a good job of collecting water.

Even those women and children spontaneously joined the ranks of carrying soil and making water-proof materials.

at the same time.

Lin You also brought the plant army to the underground river, estimated the height, and started to let the mushrooms blast a channel on the rock next to the underground river.

For a while, the sound of the explosion continued to echo in the mountains, and a wide passage gradually appeared, extending towards Huangsha City.

The gaps and loopholes that appeared on the way were sealed by the territorial people who came over with water-proof materials, and they could be watered immediately after they were completely dried.

The leaders are united, and there are busy figures everywhere outside the city and between the mountains.

It was not until after noon on the fourth day that the canal was finally opened and connected to the moat they dug outside the city wall.

All the gaps and loopholes along the way have been patched.

The leaders were looking forward to it, their families and their families gathered outside the city, and even the men in charge of mining came back in a hurry.
