Chapter 265 Faction Selection
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the monitoring water level of Xiling Highland was close to four meters, and the monitoring water level of the Blackwater Swamp was close to four meters and fifty meters. Such water level has exceeded the highest peak water level of last year's rainy season.
The water blocking dam to the west and the water blocking dam to the south are still normal, but the flood has spread across the Xiling Highlands and over the Xita. The stone walls that Li Siwen built here have no meaning.
But this was not his initial design mistake, but rather that he did not expect that Xiaoyasha would be shameless to build a dam downstream directly.
Because normally, the Xiling Highland is about 3.50 meters high, which is enough to ensure the largest flood peak passing through the river.
"Boss Li, do we want to dig a flood discharge channel in the Xiling Heights? Or a dam or something?" Wild Boar George suggested.
"Don't worry, get everyone back. Lao Song, thank you for your hard work and cook a pot of fish soup." Li Siwen shook his head slightly. At this moment, he was standing on the bald high ground and overlooking the entire artificial lake. The artificial lake had no chance to dig deeper, but even so, it could still accommodate at least 18 million cubic meters of river water. If the water level of the artificial lake could be increased to 4 meters, it would have at least 24 million cubic meters of storage capacity.
Well, from the perspective of the reservoir, the storage capacity is really a bit sorry to the audience, but from the perspective of Li Siwen's entire territory, it is still quite advantageous.
Of course, it is different whether you can survive the drought. After all, the evaporation of water vapor is quite terrifying.
"Master Xiong, you take Hou Er, Soybean and Snake Man team to rest in the safe house. You should eat and drink. By the way, go to the Bingku to inform you of Xue Da, Xue Er and Xue Lao San, and prepare for the battle after dinner."
"Old Qiao, Shizhu, Hou Da, you three have worked hard, pay close attention to the situation of these two dams, and give priority to the dangers when they are found."
"Daha, Hou Laosan, you two will go patrol. If there is any situation, you will sound the horn immediately."
"Everyone, the winner will be tonight."
After Li Siwen said this, the smart Mr. Xiong knew what was going on. No one had any objections and they quickly performed their duties.
Li Siwen himself sat on the bald high ground, looking at the big river, looking at the artificial lake, watching the vast flood rushing down from Huangniugang, and watching the river water pouring from the west tower flow into the artificial lake, the water flow is about hundreds of cubic meters per second, but it will take some time to fill the entire artificial lake and reach its maximum storage capacity of 24 million cubic meters.
"If I penetrated Xiaoyasha's river dam, what would it be like? Is it considered self-destruction?"
This thought flashed through Li Siwen's mind. He was sure that there would be no rain in this area throughout the spring, even the following summer, and drought and heat would completely cover the entire upper reaches of the river, or any area with ice and snow life.
This is the mysterious trader in this world fighting back.
So don’t say that water vapor turns into clouds and clouds turn into rain, the fantasy world doesn’t talk about this truth.
In this way, the snow water that is flooding at this moment is the only water resource that can be obtained in the upper reaches of this river.
Xiaoyasha understood this very well, so they built river dams on the river in advance, intercepted the floods transformed by snow water, let the floods flow backwards, and allowed the earth to greedily absorb water, which could minimize the impact of drought.
If it is still high temperatures, then the water vapor evaporated in the river basin can cause artificial rainfall.
This is a game, this is a fight! This is a key battle between invasion and counter-invasion.
Logically speaking, Li Siwen does not want a drought to occur, because no one knows how long the drought will last, three months or three years?
A severe drought will wither the plants, kill the trees, and cut off the source of their vitality.
However, if Xiaoyasha was allowed to build a river dam on the river, it would be almost certain that his territory would be submerged.
Even if he can move the territory, Xiaoyasha will not compensate him for his losses. By then, the entire prairie and even the hilly areas will become Xiaoyasha's inland sea. Where will he hide with a bunch of wrecked dogs?
Moreover, if Xiao Yasha wins this game, it means that the ice and snow lives in the hands of some evil lords have won breathing time within the Great River Basin. They have been greatly strengthened under three curses of the Yin wind. If they join forces with Xiao Yasha again and turn this area into a permanent cold winter again, it will not be difficult.
So compared with the two, weighing the pros and cons, Li Siwen had no choice. Although he was also an invader, he had to stand on this side of the world this time, because even if it was a drought for three years, he would not lose any fundamental reason.
"But then again, there is no way to predict whether it is a severe drought for three years or ten years. So the best way is to build high walls, accumulate grain, act like a hooligan, build turtle shells, see who will smile long?"
After thinking about it again and again, Li Siwen gritted his teeth and did it! He bet this time.
As soon as he jumped off the bald high ground, he went to the reserve wood demon first, opened the attribute bar, and woke it up from the hibernation state. Yes, this is what he can control, otherwise the wood demon could sleep until the next summer.
After waking up the reserve wood demon, Li Siwen let it start to grow normally and expand the roots of the water-storing tree.
Then, Li Siwen went straight to the south slope of the wild grass and awakened the wetland wood demon here. This is also the highest-level sky wood demon in his territory, which can affect the weather to a certain extent.
It is the ace in Li Siwen's hand. Now the wetland wood demon alone stores nearly 20,000 tons of water. What does it mean?
The largest storage capacity of this artificial lake is only 24 million tons.
Moreover, water storage is just a small function. The greatest ability of the wetland wood monster is to regulate air and rainfall in the area. Theoretically, within a range of thousands of square meters covered by the wetland wood monster, it can control the humidity of the air and control the evaporation of water vapor by the sunlight.
If Li Siwen had ten such sky wood monsters in his hand, he would not have to worry about the severe drought.
Finally, he went to the dam to the south, where he awakened the thorn wood demon. Well, the ground part of the thorn wood demon was eaten by the winter wood demon last winter, but this is really nothing to do with the extremely special thorn wood demon.
When Li Siwen woke him up, he saw tender green branches and leaves appearing densely below the entire dam, and they grow in the wind, at least tens of thousands, which is so generous.
At this time, Li Siwen remembered that last year, this thorny wood monster fell into a deep sleep, and the vitality stored in it was worth tens of thousands. Well, I won’t say that - this guy has also upgraded?
Okay! The second sky wood demon in the territory appeared!
Li Siwen waved his fist so excitedly. Now, there is a powerful tool to fight drought.
He directly ordered the Thorn Wood Demon to absorb water vapor from the air as much as possible while purifying the air and water source.
Isn’t high-temperature evaporation awesome? It’s better to evaporate it here and I absorb it here and recycle it.
