The Witcher: Rise of the Dead

Chapter 215 The Underground River
The strategy department sounds like a very tall one.

They are actually a group of crash students in adult schools.

As for the ability, it remains to be determined.

The reason why Thanos asked people to form a strategy department was just to solve the problem of having and not having.

Not really expecting much.

But the truth is, he found that he seems to have underestimated these people who survived the disaster.

In one hall, there is a huge sand table.

There are mountains and waters on the sand table, as well as cities and military deployments. If you look carefully, you will find that even the population, types, and extraordinary people in the cities are marked.

However, behind each of these data, there is an approximation, indicating that it is not necessarily accurate.

In the middle of the sand table, five small towns are marked.

It is Zixi Town, Menghua Town, Bazhir Town, Tirami Town and Sloan Town.

Around the sand table, there are twelve people who are pointing.

"We can make ghouls dive into the water with ice cubes, and then continue to dig underground ice."

"No, the buoyancy of the ice cube is too great, no amount of ghouls will help, and the ice cube might melt before it goes down."

"Indeed, according to the data, although the outside temperature is already minus [-] degrees, the water in the cracks underground has not exceeded minus ten degrees."

"The only feasible way is to lay pipes to transport the cold air directly to the bottom, wait for the underground ice to melt, and then draw the heating directly up."

"Although this idea is good, it requires a lot of manpower and material resources."

"This is not a waste. If we want to obtain the heat in the crack, we still need to lay pipes."

"Yes, the pipeline is the best way."

"I support that idea too."

Hearing everyone's discussion, Thanos nodded in satisfaction.

Indeed, laying pipes, and pipes for cooling and heating, is the best way to go.

It seems that these people still have some brains.

It is more expensive and time-consuming.

After all, it is more than 50 kilometers from here to the nearest crack. To erect such a long pipeline requires a lot of steel, manpower and material resources.

And the pipeline will be laid to other towns in the future.

At the same time, in order to prevent the pipeline from being damaged, it is necessary to dig underground.

But just when he was about to make a decision, the man who had been silent in the corner suddenly spoke.

"I think we can dig a tunnel."

After these words fell, everyone immediately fell silent.

Even Thanos was lost in thought.

The man stood up, came to the sand table, pointed to the sand table, and said, "We can start digging from here and continue to here.

If I remember correctly, there used to be a dark river here, which could lead directly to this crack. At that time, we only need to break through the ice layer to get heat directly from here. "

Hearing this, Thanos turned to look at the man and asked, "What's your name?"

"My lord, my name is Prenton."

Thanos nodded and continued to ask: "Prenton, are you sure there is a dark river?"

An underground river is the term for an underground river, and it can also be called an underground river.

Because of karstification in large areas of limestone, caves and underground passages are formed.

There are often only exits but no entrances, and it is difficult to be found and discovered.

But now that the temperature is so low, the water flow in the underground river must have disappeared. If it is used to lay pipelines, it can greatly reduce manpower.

Prenton nodded heavily, and said, "I used to be in a small village near here, and every time I fetch water, I fetch it here."

In the general world, because of the threat of indigenous people, villages rarely exist, and if not, they never exist.

It's just that these villages are relatively small, and basically there are seven or eight families living together.

And Prenten is a person who has lived in a village since he was a child, so he knows more about the wild landforms.

Thanos looked down at the sand table.

The undercurrent outlet and fissure that the other party refers to are more than 20 kilometers away, near the town of Tirami.

Although it is unknown where the underground river leads, it can be dug slowly.

"Prenton, if this matter is entrusted to you, how long will it take you to complete the task?"

Prenton was agitated when he heard this.

This is a huge opportunity.

If done well, it is not impossible to soar into the sky.

But if he can't do it well, he won't have a bright future.

So after thinking about it, he said, "As long as the pipes in the factory are produced in time, I will definitely finish it in two months."

Thanos saw that the other party was so confident, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I will give you two months. If you can do it well, I will appoint you as the Minister of Engineering in the future."

The engineering department is the department that needs to be established later.

If the other party is really talented, then it's okay to hand it over to the other party.

He didn't say what would happen if things didn't go well, but he knew that Prenton would understand the consequences.

After continuing to discuss the details for a while, Thanos left the Strategy Department.

In his position, it is impossible to pay attention to the details of everything.

Because there are too many things.

So we can only grasp the general direction, and then let the subordinates handle the details.

That's why, he asked Suni to mint coins, open a bank, let Ai Ruo learn undead witchcraft, study undead and so on.

If you really do these things by yourself, I am afraid that you are still studying zombies and ghouls.

"Woooo."

After leaving the strategy department, Thanos suddenly felt a biting cold wind.

In the next second, the constant temperature array of the wizard's robe was activated, but it still felt cold.

The wizard robe that the Black Leaf Tower distributes for free can only maintain the constant temperature formation at about minus [-] degrees.

But now it's minus [-] degrees, and the effect of the constant temperature array is greatly reduced.

Even increasing the magic power will not work, because this wizard robe can only bear so much magic power.

If there were more, I'm afraid the wizard's robe would be damaged.

He had no choice but to wrap up his cotton jacket and walk towards the laboratory.

On the road at noon, the surroundings were deserted and there was no one there.

Even if I occasionally see a figure, it is a skeleton going out.

It can be said that now the skeleton has entered everyone's life in all aspects.

Even the poor will take out a loan to buy a skeleton for the current people to use.

But now the skeleton still consumes the green soul fire, so the consumption is a bit high, and ordinary families will try to save it as much as possible.

After a while, he suddenly saw a big car appear.

The car was about eight meters long and two meters wide, and it was pulled by six skeletons.

At this time, the big car stopped at the door of a family, and then opened the door.

And this family also opened the door immediately, and then two people ran out, and got into the car immediately after closing the door.

Immediately afterwards, the cart ran to the next destination under the pull of the six skeletons.

Seeing this, Thanos can only sigh, people's wisdom is indeed infinite.

From this posture, one can tell that this is a bus.

In this freezing weather, it is impossible for people to stay at home all the time and do nothing.

It's okay to go out to buy groceries, you can let the skeleton replace it, but you can't replace it with work.

So some people invented this kind of cart pulled by skeletons, to pull people to work in factories, or to other small towns and so on.

After watching for a while, a large car suddenly stopped beside Thanos.

Then the big car on the left opened a small window, revealing a cute little head.

"Sir, do you want to take a bus? Our bus is going to the factory area, and only one iron coin is required."

Hearing an iron coin, Thanos suddenly understood who was so talented to make the bus.

It was probably Suni's little girl, but the other party's father was also a researcher at the Kane factory, who just happened to have a way to make this kind of big car.

Seeing that the little boy in front of him didn't recognize him, Thanos took out a purple tin coin after thinking about it.

"Give."

He wants to see how this bus is, and if it is good, then try to promote it.

After all, the most important thing for economic development is transportation, transporting goods to where they are needed and satisfying people who need them.

Although there are roads now, the mode of transportation is still horse-drawn carriages, which is too simple.

The little boy looked at the purple tin coin in front of him, his eyes flashed with greed, but he immediately shook his head and said, "My lord, I can't find it. Do you have any iron coins or copper coins? Silver coins are also fine."

Thanos shook his head and said, "There's no need to look for it."

He didn't have any other currency on him at all, and this purple tin coin was left some time ago after Suni made new currency and showed him how good the quality was.

You know he hasn't spent money for a long time.

After opening the car door, he instantly felt a burst of heat in the car.

Looking at the green soul fire in the middle of the car, he immediately understood that the heater was moved into the car.

At this time, the little boy who paid the fee looked at the purple tin coin in front of him, but he didn't accept it for a long time.

After a while, he turned his head and said with a look of reluctance: "Forget it, I won't charge you this time, and I will pay you next time."

In fact, it's not that he doesn't want purple tin coins, it's his monthly salary.

But he also deeply understands that he can't offend anyone who can easily take out a purple tin coin.

If the other party feels that he has lost money and wants to sue himself, then his job will be gone.

Hearing this, Thanos just threw the purple tin coins in front of the opponent, and then found a seat to sit down.
