At the same time as the establishment of the water conservancy system, the top priority is to expand Memphis.

As the capital of Egypt, although after the Great Judgment, the nobles and bureaucrats occupying the elite area of ​​Memphis were empty, but after the unification of Egypt, the nobles who moved into Memphis from various places, plus businessmen from all over Egypt, were destroyed by the war. Displaced people, etc., made the population of Memphis soar to hundreds of thousands, and the whole city had to face huge population pressure.

Not to mention how busy the garrison was to maintain order, the crowded slums were the most troublesome place for Nitocris.

Not to mention, as the great pharaoh who made Egypt prosperous again, many believe that today's Memphis and its palaces are no longer worthy of Nitocris.

So vigorous construction began.

Chapter 0857

Although for most ancient rulers, due to the limitation of productivity, such large-scale construction is suspected of laboring the people and hurting the wealth, but Ye Ting believes that it is not bad to carry out construction in Egypt today.

Because of the previous wars, Egypt has entered a certain degree of depression. Many people are impoverished because of warlords and wars. It is difficult for Egypt to prosper in a short period of time by recuperating and recuperating, but this kind of construction is not the case.

Compared with the intensive cultivation of the Chinese farmers, the Egyptian farmers have the convenience of the Nile River, and they are very extensive in planting, and the Nile River has a flood season and a drought season.

During the dry season, the peasants in Egypt naturally have nothing to do. At this time, through paid construction projects, wealth can be circulated to them, so as to stimulate the consumption of the people and the prosperity of Egypt.

Therefore, for today's Egypt, a certain degree of construction is like a good medicine.

People in this era don't understand this, but Ye Ting still understands: money can only create value when it circulates.

Now Ye Ting is the only one who can stop Nitocris from engaging in construction, and now even he agrees with this matter, and Nitocris just plunges into the big pit of construction.

Unlike the pharaohs of the past, although each generation of pharaohs will build a water conservancy project on the Nile River, Nitocris has done the most exaggerated.

Compared with the tinkering of other pharaohs, Nitocris simply carried out subversive construction: the construction of dams and reservoirs.

The construction of reservoirs can hold and store water and regulate the flow of water. For the Nile River, which is prone to floods during flood seasons and dry up during droughts, it is a good choice to use reservoirs to intercept flood peaks during flood seasons and then discharge them during droughts.

However, for people in this era, the construction of the reservoir is really a huge project, and no one has ever thought that the river can be controlled in this way.

However, Nitocris is not afraid of trouble.

Because he has a group of very good helpers: magicians.

The mages of the Gebu School are proficient in spells related to the earth and earth elements, and they are undoubtedly good at engineering construction.

To build the reservoir, Nitocris only needed to have these mages deploy magic, change the landscape between the Nile and the established low-lying terrain, create a sinking channel, and then have workers dig along the channel.

Obviously no one can stand it if the mages do all the work, but it's okay to ask them to give a rough construction framework.

As a result, Nitocris's water conservancy project was launched with such vigour and vigour.

The place she chose as the reservoir was called Fayon Lake.

It is located on the west side of the Nile River in Fayon Nom, at the lowest point of Fayon Oasis.

In prehistoric times, this lake was a freshwater lake with a large area and a lot of water, and it was connected with the Nile River.

But then, the climate changed a lot, causing the water level of Lake Fayon to become lower, which cut off the connection with the water of the Nile, and basically became a useless waste lake. By this era, the channel between Lake Fayon and the Nile had dried up.Only occasionally did the Nile flow into it when the water was soaring.

In Nitocris's view, as long as you find a way to deepen the river channel, build a dam, and then introduce the Nile water, you can make good use of the natural lake Fayon Lake as a reservoir.

In response to this situation, Nitocris's first step decided to renovate Fayong Lake, turning it from dead to alive.

First, she built a dam at the mouth of Fayong Lake, built some sluice gates and embankments, and drained the water in the swamps around the lake, making Fayong Lake a good and non-leaking reservoir.

Then, he mobilized the mages to cast the earth fissure technique on the original dry waterway between the Nile and Fayon Lake, separated a deep fissure, and then asked the workers to excavate from the fissure, and built a long line on this basis. The long canal connects Fayon Lake with the Nile River.

In this way, during the flood season, the rushing Nile water can enter the lake through this channel. Conversely, in the dry season, as long as the dam is opened, the water in the lake can also flow back to the Nile River.

With Nitocris's investment at all costs and the help of magic, the Fayong Lake Reservoir has been built so well that this water conservancy facility can last for thousands of years as long as it is properly maintained.

In fact, in the next thousands of years, the pharaohs and rulers of the Egyptian dynasties will carefully maintain this water conservancy facility, and the legacy left by Nitocris will indeed be used by future generations until modern times. During the period, the Egyptian government at that time rebuilt the reservoir and the corresponding dam with modern technology.

However, even if the Fayong Lake Reservoir that existed a thousand years ago is long gone, this thousand-year-old reservoir has opened the eyes of future generations. How can historians and archaeologists not understand that in Nitok more than [-] years ago In the era of Lisi, how did the Egyptians build this reservoir at that time, so the Fayon Lake Reservoir is considered to be an ancient Egyptian engineering miracle that can be as famous as the Sphinx and the Pyramid of Nitocris.

Speaking of the greatest miracle created by the female pharaoh Nitocris during her lifetime, in the eyes of people more than [-] years later, it is naturally the towering Pyramid of Nitocris. The longest building, in fact, began construction almost after the completion of the Memphis expansion and was not completed until after Nitocris abdicated.

The Pyramid of Nitocris is the largest of the ancient Egyptian pyramids.The tower is more than 180 meters high. Due to weathering over the years, the top has peeled off 15 meters. Now it is 165 meters high, which is equivalent to the height of a fifty-story building.

Its tower body is made of about 1.5 million boulders. The stones of different sizes weigh from 50 tons to 1182 tons. The total weight of the tower is about [-] million tons. The largest of the pyramids.

It is an almost solid megalithic body. Groups of people haul these large blocks up along the spiraling passage inside the pyramid, and then pile them up layer by layer. A human miracle completed only by time, when the Eiffel Tower was not yet built, the Nitocris Pyramid was once the tallest building in the world.

However, contrary to people's imagination, the Pyramid of Nitocris was not the tomb of the pharaohs like other pyramids of the pharaohs.

In fact, the Nitocris Pyramid is a magic workshop built by Nitocris for herself, or it is equivalent to the existence of the Mage Tower. The pyramid was built on the largest spiritual vein in Egypt, and it can also rely on The special structure of the pyramid and the magic system within it to collect energy from the sun.

Because of this, in addition to being famous among mortals, the Pyramid of Nitocris is also considered a holy place in the minds of later generations of magicians. Every year, thousands of magicians come to the Pyramid of Nitocris from all over the world. , to pay tribute to the miracle of the senior master, the Queen of Magic Nitocris.
