Building infrastructure in the wizard world

Chapter 4 Habits of the Mountain Rat

As an animal breeder and research expert, Shi Hao is most afraid of several things.

"First, I am particularly afraid of the cubs of carbon-based creatures crying inexplicably. I can't tell why they cry? What is there to cry? Is it because of sadness? No. There are many reasons for their crying: hungry— - Cry! Full - cry too. Happy - cry! Unhappy - still cry. Cry when you are sad, cry when you are sick, cry when you want to attract attention! Cry if you have a little emotion!"

"Second, I'm very afraid that they will cry all the time!"

Shi Hao faced the group of children who seemed to be infected by crying syndrome, one head and two older.

The cries of the children are like a terminal illness that is not very lethal but highly contagious. This terminal illness spreads rapidly and wantonly among the children.

"Water. I want to drink water."

"Sasha wants a shower. Sasha wants to wear a tutu."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo L L L K K L L L I CRY A LOT!"

Shi Hao looked at the three groups of children who were crying to death in front of him, and the warm scene of him gently comforting each child to sleep, which he imagined sitting around the fire, was completely shattered.

"I'm still too naive!" Shi Hao sighed.

"Water. Isn't it just water! Tomorrow, tomorrow I'll get it for you. You shut up. Don't cry." Shi Hao roared angrily.

Hearing Shi Hao's words, there were only three teenagers present who didn't cry, and their six pupils trembled at the same time. They were the ones who saw Shi Hao summoning water out of thin air.

Danfeng subconsciously wanted to flatter Shi Hao a few words, but when he thought of the wonderful taste of spring bamboo shoots tonight, he shut his mouth.

And the noble boy patted the back of the child beside him, seemingly comforting his companion, but actually his mind was running fast.

Only the burly boy expressed his thoughts with joy.

"Director, can you really get water? That would be really great. We are really short of water here. Because we lack water, we don't have shops here, we don't have electricity, and it's impossible to drink water and take a shower. It will soon become a luxury." The burly boy was delighted, but the more he spoke, the more sad he became.

"Director. I had an older sister who died trying to fetch water when she was only 13 years old."

"A month ago, our village had to go to the spring to fetch water every other day. We had to walk along a steep cliff path full of gravel for two hours to get there. There were attacks and looting by various elves on the way. Water. My sister fell from a cliff height of 800 meters because of the attack of the little Lada.”

"When we found my sister, the earthenware pots she used to hold the water were shattered and the precious water that took her more than four hours to retrieve was sucked away by the ground in an instant. Her body... her Body……"

"Deaths due to fetching water have happened in every household in our village and town. Some are men who are the head of the family, some are mothers of children, and more are children."

"But even so, the pure spring dried up a month ago. The adults of our whole village had to embark on the road to find water."

"The head of the garden..."

The burly boy said with a sad face.His originally resolute and sunny face suddenly showed unspeakable sadness, which is really unacceptable.

What can Shi Hao say?He could only say in a calm but unshakable tone: "It's all over. I'm here."

-

In the second half of the night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and everything was silent, except for the firewood and the thunderbolt.

Outside the village where Shi Hao was, there were two people hiding in the grass.

"He actually killed that alienated fire-breathing dragon and got through this difficulty." A person in the grass said in surprise.

"So what if we get through it? There are more than 100 children, eating, drinking, and diarrhea are all problems. In their current state, they can last up to three days, and none of the children can survive." Another person said.

Hearing from the second person that the children would not survive for three days, the scarred face of the first person who spoke could not bear it.

"After all, they are all children. We met their parents when we fetched water before, and we can't just ignore death..." Scar's face looks fierce, but he speaks with a rare compassion.

"Shut up! Don't be naive. Help? What can you do to help? Don't you remember how the water in our village came from? It was the water arrow turtle left by your grandfather who was supplying it with his life." The second kind-hearted young man reminded Said: "Have you forgotten how did you get the scar on your face?"

no water.We all have to die.

Don't say anything about dying, you can't live happily.

"But..." Scarface wanted to say something else.

"No, but. Have you forgotten what the purpose of our coming out is? Looking for water, looking for water, looking for water!" The kind-hearted young man said cynically: "The alliance has abandoned this place, and the company has also abandoned this place. The glory of God cannot be touched Here, you are not a god, and I am not a god. Our continent has long been on the verge of purgatory."

"But..." A trace of struggle flashed across Dao Scar's face.

"We have to find water sources. Understand?" The benevolent young man resorted to his trump card and said, "Unless, you want to use them as water reserves!"

Some people, when desperate, can eat anything.

Hearing what the kind-hearted young man said, Scarface immediately gave up struggling, and the two left in a hurry.

After the two walked away, Shi Hao walked to the place where the two were hiding just now.

Relying on his powerful mental power, Shi Hao had discovered the other party long ago, and he had listened to the entire conversation between the two.

"Both of them are not bad people, this matter is caused by lack of water." Shi Hao sighed.

Neither resentment nor woman's benevolence can be called a crime.In the world of adults, there are only choices, there is no absolute black and white.

What needs to be solved is the water problem!
"The problem of water is easy to say, but also difficult to say." Shi Hao quickly gave a clear idea in his mind.

"The first is the location and access to water. Is there really water in this place? Where is the water?"

"The second step is water treatment and water purification."

"The third step is water reuse and transportation."

Shi Hao is sure that his thinking is not wrong, the key to solving the problem is how to determine whether there is water?If there is water, where is the water?How to get it?

"Presumably their old methods are similar to monitoring wells and digging groundwater based on experience, which simply doesn't work."

"If this is still in Blue Star, if such a serious water shortage occurs, satellite means can be used to emit electromagnetic waves and monitor data. As long as you pay attention to the slight changes in the surface height, you can also find some clues to groundwater. Unfortunately, this is not Blue Star. "

It's not that Shi Hao hasn't thought about summoning a satellite, but a satellite is not just as simple as a satellite. Due to various factors such as ground facilities and trajectory, a single satellite cannot operate.

"Director, I'm thirsty." Next to the burly boy, a little girl woke up first, and looked at Shi Hao aggrieved, as if she was about to cry again.

"Don't cry. I'll take care of it." Shi Hao hurriedly stopped.

After Shi Hao finished speaking, he realized that dozens of pairs of eyes, large and small, were staring at him, and the children were not sleeping soundly.

Ugh!
"Since you can't sleep, let's all get up. Clean up and eat something, we still have business to do today." Shi Hao said.

"Okay. Eat." The burly boy hurriedly got up, eating the biggest meal.

The boy with Danfeng eyes was very silent, got up and went straight to the cooking place, and handled the spring bamboo shoots according to Shi Hao's method yesterday.

All night last night, he couldn't sleep, he was full of thoughts and thoughts: he wanted to snatch Shi Hao's book for a while, but he had already noticed how much Shi Hao attached importance to books.After a while, I felt that Shi Hao was really powerful, and with every gesture, the water of the Yellow River came up to the sky.For a while, I felt that I was seen through by Shi Hao, and even wanted to kill Shi Hao silently.After a while, he sincerely felt that what Shi Hao said was really for his own good.

The noble boy was also very silent, and came to Dan Fengyan's side to help Dan Fengyan with his work.

After more than 100 children finished eating, the strong boy also felt that his mouth was dry.The pain of not having water came to the body again.

"Director, do we really have water here?" The burly boy asked a question that no one dared to ask.

"Yes. It's just a question of near or far." Shi Hao pointed to the half-meter-high grass not far away and said: "There are three evidences. First, the grass here is not dead, on the contrary, it is still growing well. Second , although there are not many elves here, they are still alive. And there are a considerable number of grass-type, flying-type and other elves that need a lot of water. Third, have you ever thought about a question, the water I summoned yesterday went to where?"

"To sum up, there must be a river that we don't know about underground here, flowing under our feet." Shi Hao pointed to his feet and said firmly.

I thought that after finishing speaking, the children would be happy or excited.

In the end, what Shi Hao didn't expect was that the burly boy who had never cried before howled, "Sister, we have water here, we have water! Mom and Dad, where are you? Wow~~~~~~ ~~"

Shi Hao: ...

Seeing that the children's crying tended to become more and more intense, Shi Hao quickly said: "Okay, don't cry. Let's set off to find it. If we cry again, we will delay our time to find water."

"Hmm." The burly young man wiped away his tears quickly.

"Director, which direction should we go? What can we do?" The noble boy rarely asked.

This question just asks the profession of zoologists. Finding water sources is a very important research part of zoology.

"You are relatively familiar with this place, let me talk about a few features, you come and tell me if there are such places around. For example, are there any places where mountains are stacked?" Shi Hao asked.

"Yes. But it's about a month away from us. This time, my parents and the adults of the whole village are going there." The burly boy replied hastily.

Go for a month?No, no.too far.

Shi Hao was the first to deny this answer, and then asked: "Then is there a junction between mountains and plains?"

The children were silent for 2 minutes.You look at me, I look at, want to see if the other party knows there is such a place.

Dan Fengyan gave the answer: "I don't know if the hill is the place you are looking for, director. If it is, then I know one. It is not far from us, and it takes two or three hours to walk. But..."

"But what?" Shi Hao asked.

"But Director, there used to be a river there, but unfortunately it has dried up long ago. Now there are all kinds of sandstone. There is no grass growing, and there is no water at all." Dan Fengyan said.

"My dad also led the villagers there. They even dug down tens of meters. It was almost dug into a cliff by my dad and the others, and there was still no drop of water. They were also attacked by a mountain rat halfway through." The burly young man testified.

Mountain rat?
Upon hearing this, Shi Hao immediately said: "Go. Lead the way, just go here."

"Ah?" The burly boy exclaimed.

Dan Fengyan opened her mouth, and the words to stop were on her lips, but she never asked.

"Why?" The noble boy said: "Principal, I know you are strong, but I don't want to use the wrong way to prove the wrong way. Waste time!" The implication is that Shi Hao should not waste time trying to wrong thing.

"Because of the mountain rat!" Shi Hao replied.

After finishing speaking, there was no detailed explanation, only urging Dan Fengyan and the strong boy to lead the way.

Why didn't Shi Hao explain?Because he doesn't know where to start.

The prototype of the pangolin in Shi Hao's time and space was the pangolin.

The pangolin is a kind of anteater in the hills and mountains of the humid southern zone.They often live in mountainous forests, shrubs, grasslands, or mixed forests and shrubs. All kinds of broad-leaved forests, mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests, bamboo bushes, and grass shrubs are all pangolins' favorite activities.

Shi Hao has studied the habitat caves of pangolins. Most of their habitat caves are on the side of a large mountain, and their residences change with the seasons. During the rainy season in the south, pangolins are mostly on the ridges of the upper layers of the mountain. The caves are inclined to avoid the erosion of running water. In winter, it is in the lower layer of the sunny hillside, and usually in the shrubs and grasses in the middle of the mountain or at the foot of the mountain.

The damp and deep soil areas, where insects and ants breed, are often places where pangolins like to roam.

This also proves that there is likely to be water in the place Dan Fengyan and the strong boy mentioned.

But Shi Hao didn't know how to explain to the noble boy: What is a pangolin?
And what's the difference between a pangolin and a pangolin?
These are all questions that Shi Hao needs to explore.

That's why Shi Hao avoided the noble boy's question, and urged Dan Fengyan to lead the way to a place where there might be water.

Go ahead, right or wrong, when you arrive at the scene, you will have your own answer.

Shi Hao clenched his right hand tightly, the world book in his hand was slightly warm.

-

Western Continent.

In a majestic Gothic castle, there are eighteen old faces on the 18 yuan screen.

"Tell our children, it's time to go."

"I express the thousand-year-old tradition of the [-]th family and warn everyone that no matter what thoughts and ideas you have, what contradictions and differences you may have, nothing can go wrong this time. Our millennium revival is here in one fell swoop."

After finishing speaking, his old eyes scanned each of the signs representing attributes at the top of the 18 yuan screen.

Normal, Electric, Grass, Ice, Water, Super Power, Ground, Fire, Rock, Flying, Dragon, Evil, Fighting, Bug, Fairy, Steel, Poison, Ghost.

-

At the base of a towering mountain.There is an institute.

"Gravity? Multiverse? F=GmM/r is absolutely true. But, what if, accidents can happen? Interesting, interesting, really interesting."

"Right. Cracked seat."

In the laboratory, a researcher folded a piece of white paper in half, picked up a pen, and pierced the white paper.

He spread the white paper, only to see two holes appeared on the white paper.

Then, the man said something that challenged the truth of mathematics: "A straight line is not the fastest between two points."

　Everything in the world has its own mode of life. We call this mode of people a habit, and we call this mode of an animal a habit.

　　In fact, I think it is enough for people to live according to their own status sometimes.No one in the world marks it, and it lives like this.The whole world has been watching it, and it is still so alive.

　　That's great, isn't it?
