Chapter 45: The Plan Has Changed
"Water levels rising?"
Lu Ning was stunned.
"Yes." Chang Jiang nodded seriously, "Didn't you notice? The water level of the White River has been getting higher and higher in the past two days, and it has even flooded in some places."
"Well, it is true." This time it was Su Susu who spoke. She had been by the river, so she had a say in this: "I feel... if this trend continues to rise, I'm afraid even those two fields will be destroyed.
It's been flooded. I was just going to ask you if you want to move those two pieces of farmland to the valley in advance?"
"I'm afraid not." Chang Jiang said immediately, "I've looked and found that the river on the other side of the valley is too shallow. Now that the water level has risen, a lot of the land in the valley has been flooded."
Lu Ning has been concentrating on studying alchemy in the camp these days, and he really doesn't understand these things.
"...It seems that the plan is about to change." Lu Ning sighed, "We can only give up that valley as our new stronghold."
"Looking for another place?" Chang Jiang asked.
"It seems that this is the only way." Lu Ning nodded regretfully.
"But why did the water level suddenly rise...it didn't rain heavily." Su Susu muttered in a low voice.
"Who knows... maybe something happened further upstream," Lu Ning looked into the depths of the blue mountains in the north. Somehow, Ye Rang Qin Ke's reminder before leaving lingered in his mind again.
in mind.
"There are traces of large monster activities deep in the Blue Mountains... But can monsters still affect the natural environment?"
Lu Ning frowned and thought for a long time, but found nothing.
He shook his head and gave up trying to forcibly connect these two illusory things.
"Sister Su, please collect those two fields tomorrow."
Su Susu was a little surprised: "Just take it away instead of transferring it to another place to continue cultivating it?"
"It's almost time." Although Lu Ning left the work to Su Susu, he still knew something about it. Su Susu, a newcomer who had just started working for a few days, could not match Lu Ning's judgment. "This time.
After harvesting, keep the seeds and don’t plant them for now. When Boss Ye comes over, we’ll ask his advice and see where it would be better to move.”
Neither Chang Jiang nor Su Susu had any objection to this.
Nothing unexpected happened in the next few days. Except for the fact that the water level of the Baihe River continued to rise as expected, until it submerged the two pieces of farmland developed by Lu Ning.
However, the vegetables and flax grass grown inside have been harvested by Su Susu early.
However, Lu Ning couldn't think of the use of these linens for a while.
"Flax can be twisted into hemp rope and made into fishing nets. The efficiency will be higher than fishing with fishing rods." Su Susu said, "But it is estimated that this batch of flax grass will be used."
Lu Ning shook his head.
"We don't need to catch so many fish for the time being, right?" Lu Ning wondered.
"That's true... Oh, by the way, you can use flax as fishing line, which is easier to use than fishing line made of animal sinew."
Su Susu said.
"That's okay... but you won't need so much?" Lu Ning looked at Chang Jiang, "Do you have any ideas?"
"Generally speaking, what you can think of with flax is to twist it into hemp rope or make it into clothes, right?" Chang Jiang reminded, "We don't know how to make clothes from this thing, so we can only braid it into rope and keep it.
Will use it later."
Lu Ning was about to nod, but Su Susu clapped her hands together: "Yes, you can make clothes. I have wanted to change my clothes for a long time, and Mr. Lu, your animal skin clothes are also uncomfortable to wear in this weather, right?"
"
Lu Ning nodded. He was wearing an authentic fur coat. It was okay to wear in winter, but it was not very convenient now.
"But you can make clothes?" Lu Ning had to remind her, "And even if you can, we don't have any textile tools or anything like that here. Isn't that unrealistic?"
"It's actually simpler than you think." Su Susu said seriously, but her eyes quickly became erratic: "Of course... it may not be that simple, but in short, just leave it to me. For new clothes, I will
Work hard!”
Lu Ning didn't know where she got the courage to take on such a big job, but since Su Susu had promised to make clothes for all three of them, Lu Ning gave her all the flax grass she harvested.
.
"Also, have you remembered all the methods I taught you about smelting bronze?"
Lu Ning looked at Chang Jiang.
After this period of searching and excavation, Chang Jiang brought back a lot of copper ore.
Lu Ning estimated that it was almost enough to open a furnace, so he informed Chang Jiang of the method of smelting bronze recorded on the bronze ax drawing.
The method is actually not complicated. To put it simply, there are basically three steps in total.
Step one: Throw the ore and charcoal into the cellar.
Step 2: Light the charcoal and wait.
Step 3: Take the smelted bronze out of the cellar.
Of course, you still need to pay attention to the effects of heat and humidity during actual smelting, but overall it is not difficult.
Therefore, Chang Jiang patted his chest to ensure that he really understood everything.
Lu Ning expressed doubts about this, but let Chang Jiang do it on his own out of trust.
Anyway, the things Chang Jiang promised have not gone wrong so far.
As for Lu Ning, his research finally made a breakthrough.
However, judging from the results, this breakthrough is not in the research on fertilizers and drugs.
"Three parts of red stone.
"Two portions of bluestone.
"One serving of charcoal.
"Five servings of Silver Heart Grass..."
Lu Ning muttered, grinding all the ingredients into powder, then mixing them together and putting them into a pottery bowl on the stone slab in front of him.
As mentioned before, after the iridescent stone is ground into debris, it still has the property of virtual energy and is more stable.
However, when encountering other objects with virtual energy properties, the virtual energy inside the debris will also be guided out, thereby stimulating the virtual energy phenomenon of other items.
And what if you mix various iridescent stones and objects together?
Both plant ash and silver heart grass are the main materials of "Life No. 12".
Lu Ning accidentally discovered that when charcoal was used instead of plant ash and silver thread grass was mixed together, supplemented by iridescent stones for energy, an incomplete virtual energy phenomenon could be produced.
"Producing a null energy reaction." The ghost's voice sounded in the soul connection, "This time it is a complete null energy phenomenon! Captain, we succeeded..."
Before the ghost finished speaking, the crumbs in the bowl suddenly vibrated, and then——
"Captain, be careful!"
BAM——!!!!
The pottery bowl exploded suddenly, and the fragments flew out in all directions.
Fortunately, Lu Ning was reminded by the ghost and crouched down with his head in his arms just before the explosion. When the debris exploded, he was not affected.
"Fuck...what the hell is this?"
Lu Ning trembled at the corners of his mouth and straightened up carefully.
There was only a dark mark left on the stone slab.
"Red stone, bluestone, charcoal, and silver heart grass... turned into explosives?
