Chapter 309: Desertification Control
The quicksand zone in the center of Haikou will freeze when it is cold at night. Without the blessing of a tornado, the quicksand will rarely flow.
Jiang Changle took this opportunity to sprinkle a large amount of spiritual spring water into the quicksand area. When the ice melted the next day, the quicksand area directly solidified into soil.
Zhang Jiajun then planted grass and trees, and of course photovoltaic panels.
"Princess, what is that?" The inn owner, whom others called the vegetable owner, had been running the inn business in Shicheng for many years.
Later, he obtained the treasure calculator and gradually gained status in the Ten Cities.
After the recent mirage in the desert subsided, various forces that had previously gained some benefits from the mirage are now trying every possible way to utilize the treasures they obtained and make them play a role.
Only the vegetable shop owner was worried about Jiang Changle. Since she separated from the two of them, she basically took people into the depths of the desert to look for them every day.
Now the person has finally returned, and unexpectedly, the young man was actually the fourth princess of the East Kingdom in disguise.
The Fourth Princess not only brought back the Zhang family army, but also planted crops all the way from the depths of the desert. The weirdest thing is, the grass and trees she planted actually came to life?!
Grass and trees can be said to green the desert and change the windy and sandy environment, but what is that light board? They have never seen it before.
Although the vegetable shop owner knew that it was presumptuous, he still had to ask the question.
Jiang Changle explained patiently, "Those are photovoltaic panels, used to generate electricity.
For example, I have modified your calculator to use light energy, which has the same function as photovoltaic panels.
It absorbs sunlight and converts it into energy, which can be used as power for machines and is very useful.
I'll install it first, and then I'll connect the electricity to ten cities, and then you'll understand the wonders of electricity."
The vegetable shop owner was shocked. After Jiang Changle's rough teaching, she could already use the calculator a little bit.
It is really convenient. It would take her half a day to calculate the account, but she can shorten the time by half by pressing the button slowly.
I can’t imagine how much higher her work efficiency would be if she became proficient in using a calculator.
Now the fourth princess tells her that photovoltaic panels are of the same nature as calculators?
Isn’t that a great treasure?!” The vegetable shop owner was immediately excited.
So many great treasures! Is the Fourth Princess a beast god? Otherwise, how could she be so capable?
"Princess, can I work with you? I have quite a few people under my command who are free anyway."
"Okay, just arrange for the people to come in, and after the work is completed, either pay them wages or distribute the profits."
For a major project like sand control, the more people involved, the better.
Jiang Changle is not afraid of losing money, because electricity and planting can both be a business that can bring her a steady stream of income.
She really doesn't need money now, but she cannot support an army and govern a country without money.
"Thank you, Princess. I'll go back and get someone."
After the vegetable shop owner understood the situation, he quickly went back to call for help.
It is indeed incredible to carry out construction in the desert, but if the builder is the fourth princess of the East Country, the vegetable boss absolutely trusts her.
If it succeeds, he will be a participant in the Fourth Princess's project, and the benefits allocated to him will definitely not be small. Otherwise, how could the cunning Zhang family army listen to the Fourth Princess's words obediently?
However, the vegetable boss only dared to call his own subordinates. After all, who would be willing to take risks for others?
If the Fourth Princess fails, won't others cause trouble for her as the introducer?
The vegetable boss went back excitedly to arrange manpower, but he still alarmed many forces in the ten cities.
Everyone soon found out that the vegetable shop owner had found her customer in Hai City, the young man who had helped them during the tornado in Hai City.
The young man returned alive from the depths of the desert. Didn't that mean he had found the source of the treasure? He must have become incredibly rich, right?
For a time, many forces flocked to the mirage in the desert.
But when they arrived at Haishi, they found that the former quicksand area had turned into land, and a wide green belt had been planted from the depths of the desert.
The first layer of the green belt is a windbreak, the second layer is a grass grid, the third layer is a road, and the fourth layer.
What was that? Smooth, flat mirrors, supported by numerous iron frames. While I had no idea what they were, they looked incredibly high-end and expensive.
After further investigation, the orcs found out that the person who was controlling the desert was the fourth princess of the East Country, who was leading the Zhang family army!
And it was the Fourth Princess of the East Kingdom who saved them from the tornado that day!
Oh my god, what's going on? The Fourth Princess doesn't care about the eight or nine cities of the East Kingdom, but is trying so hard to rule the uninhabited desert?
If someone has never been to the sea, they might think Jiang Changle is crazy, but only those who have obtained treasures in the sea city know.
Jiang Changle must have obtained the treasure from the source, otherwise how could she plant living trees in the desert?
At this point, the entire ten cities were in an uproar, with various factions trying every possible way to get a piece of the pie. Among them were people from the East, people from the Small Country, and people from the North.
"Princess, will someone come and steal the photovoltaic panels? I won't feel at ease until the ten cities are recovered."
The sun was setting, and it was time for the workers, or rather the soldiers, to rest and have their meals.
Of course, today's planting team cannot be limited to the tens of thousands of people before.
Instead, after the planting was successful, Major General Zhang sent a message back, mobilizing all the able-bodied members of the Zhang family army to come and control the desertification.
Anyway, their original homes had been turned into sand by wind, so except for the elderly and children who could not move, all of Zhang's army came here, as many as 150,000 people.
But these people are here to work. It would be a waste if they were sent to guard the photovoltaic panels.
Jiang Changle was not too worried. "It's okay. No one knows how to use it anyway. Besides, photovoltaic panels and electricity are actually very dangerous. If someone touches them by mistake, it will hurt a lot.
We just need to set the instructions and rules, and don't worry about the rest.
Once the power plant and Zhangjia Town are built, I believe the ten cities will come together on their own."
Electricity is a good thing. It's used for lighting, which is basic infrastructure. Jiang Changle has already thought of using it in cars, as well as basic electronic products such as calculators, cameras, and tape recorders.
Of course, these things may only be made after the Beast World stabilizes.
However, Jiang Changle believed that using electricity for lighting, cooking and heating would attract a large number of orcs.
So when the red moon came out, many orcs covered their faces and sneaked into the desert control area.
But what outsiders didn't expect was that Zhang's army didn't guard those mirrors, but practiced one by one under the cold red moon?
The Zhang family army was not afraid of the red moon's invasion. The red moon's light shone directly on them, but no one was seen going crazy?
Why are those people not afraid of the cold?
