Ice Age: I can control plant growth

Chapter 71 Pipeline Bamboo

After making the 477th combination bed, Li Mu's energy was finally exhausted.

It was already four o'clock in the morning. He walked out of the underground city and saw the morning star and the waning moon illuminating the beautiful night sky. But tonight, Li Mu did not choose to continue practicing. Instead, after taking a bath, he lay directly on the bed and slowly fell asleep with deep tiredness.

When he woke up again, it was already 12 noon.

After eight hours of adequate sleep, Li Mu's body energy has been fully restored, and the mental fatigue caused by doing one thing for a long time has completely disappeared. He looks energetic.

After arriving at the restaurant on the first floor and filling his stomach, Li Mu went to the second floor of the dungeon again.

The first batch of population transfer will be carried out tomorrow, and Li Mu wants to take advantage of the last time to complete the entire dormitory.

There are two things to do today: making the remaining modular beds and laying the pipes.

Thanks to yesterday's production experience, not only was the production time reduced to thirty seconds today, but the source energy consumed was also reduced from 2/1000 to 1/1000.

In the end, it took less than five hours to complete the remaining modular beds, which were separated by wooden walls in the middle.

After finishing making the modular bed, he began to think about how to lay the pipes.

Because he didn't have much experience in decorating a house, Li Mu could only use the university dormitory where he had lived before as a reference.

In a university dormitory, if you want to get water, you have to go to the public restroom.

There are many faucets for cold water and an electric water heater for hot water.

Thinking of this, Li Mu decided to set up a similar water supply point in the public restroom on the second floor of the underground city.

However, there is no electric water heater to boil hot water now, so Li Mu plans to build two water supply facilities similar to water towers on the first floor.

One is used to store cold water and the other is used to store hot water.

Although there are no electric water heaters available now, Li Mu has "heating konjac". With its heating efficiency, as long as some are planted in two water towers, sufficient hot water can be guaranteed.

The next step is to lay the pipeline.

Two tunnels were dug in each public toilet. Each tunnel was 50 centimeters wide and 5 meters long, leading directly to one floor. Then bamboo modified by Li Mu was planted in the tunnel.

These bamboos have no bamboo knots, are as hard as steel, and can withstand high temperatures. In addition, they are used to replace water pipes, so Li Mu named them "pipeline bamboo."

Back on the first floor, Li Mu pointed his hands at the seeds. As the green light shone, the bamboo began to sprout and grow rapidly, soon filling up the dug tunnel completely and continuing to grow downwards.

Under the control of Li Mu's mind, the bamboo pipe began to bend when it was about to touch the second floor ground, and then continued to grow straight.

After it grew a few more meters, Li Mu stopped infusing source energy and the growth of the pipe bamboo stopped.

After the other pipe bamboos are also stimulated to grow in turn, the laying of underground pipes is completed.

After finishing all this, Li Mu stretched and returned to the City Lord's Mansion to eat and rest.

There were still many details left to be completed in the dormitory, but he no longer wanted to do it himself.

As a city lord, he has done his best. The rest of the construction work will be handed over to the survivors who have been transferred here to do it themselves.

……

When Li Mu woke up from his dream again, it was eight o'clock in the evening.

This time he only slept for about two hours. Although his energy was not restored much, he was no longer tired.

After a simple dinner, Li Mu called Yao Chengcheng and Yu Shuaikang to the top-floor conference room.

"We will go to the West Lake Shelter to receive the first batch of relocated people tomorrow. How have you arranged it?" Li Mu asked Yao Chengcheng.

"My plan is to send 20 members of the hunting team, including Asao, to the shelter to pick up the people. With their strength, it should be enough to protect the transferees and ensure their safe arrival in Wanling City."

Yao Chengcheng replied.

"A team of 200 people, all of them ordinary people, have you ever calculated how long it would take them to get from the shelter to Wanling City?"

Li Mu continued to ask.

"I have asked someone to experiment with the time. Even if the average person is well-protected and does not carry any weight, it takes about five hours to walk from the shelter to Wanling City."

"Considering that there will be 200 people in tomorrow's team, and they may also carry some warm clothes or other things with them, the time required will increase by another hour."

"Also consider the possibility that someone might slip, or become exhausted and need to rest midway, and other unexpected situations."

Yao Chengcheng paused, then continued, "It will take about seven hours to transfer the team from the shelter to Wanling City. If we set out at eight in the morning, we will arrive at three or four in the afternoon."

Li Mu did not continue speaking after hearing this, but instead calculated in his mind. The final result was similar to the seven that Yao Chengcheng said.

"Seven hours is really too long, and many uncontrollable situations may occur, so the time must be shortened."

After thinking about it, Li Mu still felt that it would be disadvantageous to prolong the time too long, as there were too many uncontrollable factors.

"I have also considered this. If we use sleds to pull these people forward, the time can be shortened to three hours.

But we don’t have such ability. Even if Ah Sao and the two Blood Vine Warriors joined hands, they couldn’t pull two hundred people forward.”

Yao Chengcheng waved his hands, making the gesture of a little bear spreading his hands, and said helplessly.

After hearing Cheng Cheng's answer, Li Mu began to think about what other ways could be used to solve this problem.

After a while, I suddenly realized that just because Ah Sao and others couldn't do it together, it didn't mean that others couldn't do it.

There is no doubt that this other person is Li Mu himself.

"So Yao Chengcheng is waiting for him here," Li Mu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought of this. He had originally wanted to take a good rest for a few days after the dormitory was built.

It seems that there is no chance now. I have to work like a slave again and the rest time can only be postponed.

Sighing, Li Mu glared at Yao Chengcheng and said,

"Okay, okay, don't you just want me to do it myself?"

"Just tell me directly. For the future development of Wanling City, how can I not help?"

Yao Chengcheng didn't say anything, but just smiled awkwardly. Yu Shuaikang next to him scratched his head and couldn't help but chuckled,
"Isn't it because you've been too busy lately and haven't had time to rest properly?"

"And I don't mean to require you to take action. Without your help, at most it will be a little slower, which is actually nothing."

Li Mu sighed again, "It's not just a little bit slower, it's at least four hours longer!"

Then he waved helplessly,

"Alright, alright, leave the transfer to me. I'll go pick them up myself."

"Go back and rest quickly. We will set off on time at six o'clock tomorrow morning."
