Lord of the People: I rely on cheating for hegemony

Chapter 121
After Kong Ming expressed his thoughts, Qu Mao felt at first that the amount of work needed to renovate Lihe was very large, and the territory of Yi Village could not afford it now.

Later, Kong Ming persuaded Qu Mao by exchanging time for progress. Qu Mao agreed that Kong Ming and Zhao Pan would take Jenny Water to wash and deepen the Li River first, while Qu Mao stayed in Li Village and led the leaders to build a 20 The embankment is about one meter long.

If the deepening of the river and the construction of the dam can be carried out according to the expectations Kong Ming said, and the effect Kong Ming said can also be achieved, then in the future, we will consider digging a reservoir and building a water blocking dam between the source of the Li River and the Sanyan Mountain Spring.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Pan and Kong Ming took the fifth-level ascetic monk Armani and the fifth-level junior water magician Jenny Walter on a shuttle boat and went upstream to the source of Li River.

Qu Mao asked Kong Ming and Zhao Pan to bring two marching tents and enough food for five days in their backpacks, so as not to have to sail upriver 15 kilometers every day, and let them wash down along the Lihe River.

In Li Village, Qu Mao first arranged for the leaders to be on duty to build stone lighthouses, watchtowers, and defense towers, and then arranged 20 people to continue to reclaim the cultivated land. The area away from the river bank is ready to build a dam.

The area to be built was planned by Kong Ming in advance, including specifications and construction steps. Because there is no construction blueprint for building the embankment, it is a practical operation. In theory, an infinite number of citizens can be arranged to participate, but the construction site cannot be lined up. Qu Mao Arranging 40 people seems a bit much.

Even with such an arrangement, there are still more than 40 residents in Li Village who cannot arrange work and can only sit idle. After all, Li Village has not conquered any wild resource mines.

After thinking for a while, Qu Mao recruited 4 third-tier jumping soldiers, 3 second-tier boat shooters, 5 first-tier sailors, and 25 sailors, and replaced five elite soldiers from the people who were building the stone lighthouse. Qualified citizens are required to drive a sea boat and transport 40 citizens to the empty island to participate in the reclamation of cultivated land in the folded space of the empty island.

Su Yan returned to Yi Island yesterday, and it is expected that Franklin Jin and Jia Sixie will be brought to the empty island and the outlying island in a week. There are still 6 days left, so Qu Mao is not in a hurry.

一直忙到上午10:30左右，曲茂第二次进入森林将召唤项目的机会用掉后, 40位领民刚好将孔明规划的20米长、底座宽5米的堤坝铺好一层土。

The cheating system prompts: "The rookie host successfully led the people to build the base of the embankment without building blueprints, and rewarded 20 cheating points."

Sure enough, cheating points can be obtained, and there are quite a lot of cheating points, 20 points were given at one time, and the work is not yet finished.

The embankment planned by Kong Ming was built near the Li River from the village, only 3 meters away from the edge of the river. Soil was dug from one meter from the edge of the river to the side of the embankment next to the Li River.

The plan is that the bottom is 5 meters wide and the top is 3 meters wide. This section will be built 20 meters first, and the height should reach 5 meters. The slope on the side near the river is greater than 60 degrees. All rammed earth.

Although in another world, the college entrance examination is more relaxed, mathematics is still a compulsory subject. Qu Mao reluctantly feels that if Kong Ming's plan is followed, the embankment will be too steep near the side of the river, and the leaders will not be able to climb it at all. .

After thinking for a while, Qu Mao ordered the local people to revise Kongming’s plan, asking the local people to increase the length of the bottom to 15 meters and compress the top to 2 meters wide. The area is to be dug five meters deep.

In this way, the demand for stones will more than double, and Qu Mao also requires that the 20-meter dam section need to build a step next to the side of the river, otherwise the slope is greater than 60 degrees, and no stones will be built. There are no qualitative steps, and there is no way to get from the river to the top of the embankment.

Moreover, after the bottom grows to 15 meters, the slope will be relatively gentle, and when it is repaired to a height of 1 meters, a [-]-meter-wide lining should be reserved.

Then continue to fill up the soil, not only the soil filling, but also the embankment needs to be tamped with flat stones after filling the earth. Kong Ming originally planned for three days to build the entire embankment, but after Qu Mao’s improvement, it is estimated that it will take at least three days. It takes about 10 days to complete.

Fortunately, after Qu Mao made it clear to a well-qualified leader, the cheating system showed again: "Practice brings true knowledge. Congratulations to the rookie host for improving the dam construction process during on-site construction. The reward for cheating is 10 points."

Seeing the display of the cheating system, Qu Mao's mood instantly became very happy. His guess was right, and it was easier to get the cheating value if he stayed in Li Village to direct the construction.

However, in this way, the stones prepared by Kong Ming to build the 20-meter-long embankment may not be enough. Stones can be found in the mountains on outlying islands, and zero-level quarries can also be built. Currently, the 20-meter-long dam is built It is not a big problem for the dam to rely solely on the stone resources that Kong Ming did not know where to get, but the continued construction of the stone may be a problem.

It is natural to find a place to build a zero-level quarry on the outlying island, but Qu Maosi thought about it, combined with the terrain of the outlying island observed with Kong Ming yesterday, and finally decided to open up stones on the empty island, and then transport them to the outlying island to build dams .Because the construction of a zero-level quarry on an outlying island has a high possibility of changing the landform of the outlying island. If the outlying river stops flowing, the loss outweighs the gain.

Although the shipping cost is higher, let's ship it from Sky Island.Before Qu Mao came to the outlying island, he had already built a zero-level quarry on the empty island, but before that, he had always arranged for the leaders to be on duty for production, and the stone materials produced were directly gamified and entered into the warehouse in the territory of Yi Village. .

When the well-qualified leaders went to Sky Island in the morning, they asked to change the on-duty production to actual mining. Su Yan told Qu Mao to use actual mining, and the mined stones would be piled up in the zero-level quarry.

Before lunch at noon, when Qu Mao went to the forest to look for beasts to summon A Ke to brush his cheat value, Qu Mao thought of a problem. The people who built the dam were building the dam according to Qu Mao’s revised plan, and it would take about ten days to repair it. , a 20-meter-long embankment, and there are few opportunities for innovation.

Although Su Yan had brought over shovels, dustpans and other work, the leaders couldn't use them, and the efficiency of building dams was still very low.

The excavation area, which is two meters wide and five meters deep, is not enough to completely build the embankment.Qu Mao had no choice but to order the leaders to expand the excavation area to the side of the Lihe River, and at the same time ask the leaders to continue digging upstream. Anyway, they will continue to build dams in the future.

After lunch, when Qu Mao returned to the Li River, he found that the five-meter-deep pit dug in the excavation area was only half a meter away from the river surface, and the water in the Li River began to become a little turbid.

After a simple thought, it became clear that Jenny Walter, the fifth-level junior water magician from the upper reaches, had already begun to wash and deepen the channel away from the river. The river water was wrapped in the sediment at the bottom of the river and left at the mouth of the sea. It would be a waste to flow directly into the sea.

Qu Mao looked back and found that the side of the excavation area close to the dam had already been paved with a layer of stones by the leaders, and the specially built steps requested by Qu Mao had also been repaired.So Qu Mao found the well-qualified leader and said: "This section of the borrow pit has reached its limit.

You go to the next section of the soil-borrowing area, and leave a one-meter solid ground between this section. Don’t add the whole dam up. First, pile up soil and lay stones next to the river, and when it exceeds one meter from the river level, it will be in the next section. The excavation area is close to the upstream side, and the deep excavation pit and the water surface of the river are opened to allow the water from the river to fill the excavation pit. "

"Yes, my lord! Are you going to store water?"

Qu Mao said with a smile: "No, the pit is not connected to the sea. The upstream is scouring and deepening the river, and the water full of sediment can be diverted to the pit. The subsequent sedimentation of the sand is equivalent to backfilling the pit. In this way, we The dikes will be more stable..."

The cheating system shows: "Congratulations to the rookie host, your idea strengthens the dam on the one hand, and on the other hand, it also deposits river sand, but more importantly, it forces the diversion away from the river. The system rewards 30 points for cheating. Depending on the final engineering effect, the system Additional cheat value rewards will be added."

Qu Mao was stunned for a moment, and waved his hand to let the well-qualified leaders lead the people to work. The plan to go to the different villages on the empty island became more urgent.

When the local people dug some soil between the deep excavation pit and the Lihe River, the turbid Lihe water was immediately poured into the deep excavation pit, and Qu Mao could clearly see the water level on the other side of the Lihe River 20 meters away. Back off nearly 10 centimeters.

Based on the turbidity of the river water that entered the excavation pit, Qu Mao felt that the muddy water had completely settled and could at least backfill the excavation pit for more than half a meter.

After a busy day at the embankment construction site, Qu Mao wanted to go to the other village on the empty island even more urgently. The swampy terrain in the folding space was being transformed there, and the probability of obtaining cheating points by pointing out the mountains and rivers was higher, and there were more opportunities.

The construction of outlying islands has basically been arranged. The dam construction project has earned more than 60 cheat points a day. The probability of cheating points for this 20-meter dam is infinitely close to zero.

Wanting to understand this, Qu Mao went back to Li Village, found two fourth-rank light cavalrymen, and said, "You two ran up the Li River to help me call Master Zhao Pan back.

Master Kong Ming and I explored yesterday, and there is no problem running horses away from the river bank. "

Two fourth-tier light cavalrymen clasped their hands and replied, "Yes, my lord! Do you need to send a letter to Mr. Zhao Pan?"

Qu Mao shook his head and said: "After you find Zhao Pan, tell Zhao Pan directly that I will find him, and then you two will give Zhao Pan a horse, and Zhao Pan will come back alone. You can also stay there. Temporarily acting as a messenger to deliver a message."

"Yes, my lord!" The two fourth-rank light cavalry immediately got on their horses, patted their horses and rushed towards the upper reaches of the river, a distance of up to 2 kilometers, and it took about half an hour for Zhao Pan to come back and have dinner with him .
