Okay, Okay, I’ll Take the Credit, Right?

Chapter 274 Dilemma on the front line

Su Chen nodded and accepted all the conditions Jin Chao asked.

 The Jin family is so repulsive to me, they should really stay away from each other in the future.

Su Chen doesn’t like the Jin family’s behavior either.

 If you can avoid contact, you’d better avoid contact in the future.

Su Chen is not too worried now about the Jin family coming to disturb his family.

This is Tiangang City after all, not Jiang'an City.

 I have gained some confidence in Tiangang City.

 After finishing the conversation with Jin Chao, Su Chen continued his own affairs.

 Towards the forward defense line of Tiangang City.

Although they have advanced ten miles, Tiangang City's forward defense line is still not far from the sect.

 The original line of defense still exists.

 Now it has been changed to the position where the back line rests.

　　A small number of disciples were also arranged to be stationed here to be wary of fish that slipped through the net.

While passing by, Su Chen met a fellow sect member who had previously served under Ji Sheng.

　　Many of the sect members who were with him at the beginning joined the front line of defense.

Having learned a lot from Su Chen, Tiangang City's forward defense line is not too dangerous.

 Originally, they followed Ji Sheng's command, and they might have to go home in disgrace a year later.

Having not learned any skills, who would want to gain a foothold on the front line of Tiangang City?

The models of Tiangang City and Yunyang Sect are hugely different, and they cannot assign disciples.

 If you lack strength and experience, no one really wants you.

Su Chen stopped to chat with some classmates.

 From them, we can get a detailed understanding of the recent situation on the defense line.

On the front line of Tiangang City, the biggest problem now arises on the river.

 This river has brought many benefits to farming, but it has also brought a lot of troubles.

 When the river flows through this section of the defense line, the water is somewhat deep.

 Many locations are above fifteen feet.

In addition, the water flow is a bit fast, carrying a lot of sediment, and the river water is also very turbid.

 And the water will also cover up the fishy smell of the monster.

 Some monsters crossed the defense line by diving into the water.

At present, we haven’t suffered any big trouble because of this. Those who sneaked in are just little monsters.

But Tiangang City has to arrange a response after all.

 The entire river has become an unstable factor. Who knows which section of the river the monster will emerge from.

 This river has brought benefits, but also cost a lot of manpower.

Su Chen asked again about the frontline’s current response.

However, these classmates are not the core of the front line, and they don’t know much about it.

 After a conversation, Su Chen went directly to the front.

I heard that Mr. Ouyang has been at the front line for a while, and this river must have caused him some trouble.

Ten miles is not a long way. Su Chen walked and looked around.

 The original wilderness has been reclaimed into land.

 Spring has begun, and the land is already full of food.

Su Chen walked all the way forward, and when he reached the front line, many of his classmates came to say hello.

There are still people running to notify the hall masters on the front line.

Compared to other sects’ doubts about Su Chen, everyone in Tiangang City knew about Su Chen’s ability in dealing with monsters.

Last year's somewhat broken defense line, with the help of Su Chen, directly caused the monster to collapse.

 So much so that Tiangang City was able to advance its defense line.

Not long after, Ouyang Chuan came over with a smile on his face.

 “Is this trip still hard?”

Su Chen knew that the trip Mr. Ouyang asked about was referring to the Yunyang Sect.

“Actually, it’s acceptable, it’s not too tiring, and the harvest is pretty good.”

“I just heard the news yesterday that Master Taiwu of the Yunyang Sect and their great elder were taking the corpse of the earth demon and preparing to present it to the royal family.

 Recently, the reputation of Yunyang Sect has been boasted by many people. "

Ouyang Chuan smiled. He didn't know the whole process of Yunyang Sect's killing of the earth demon, but he believed that Su Chen was definitely very important in it.

 Otherwise, this earth monster would not have been able to be killed for so long.

 It has to be solved by Su Chen.

As he spoke, Ouyang Chuan led Su Chen across the front line.

 As they walked to the place where the river flowed in, the two of them stopped unconsciously.

“The biggest trouble for the forward defense line now is this river.

 In the past, when it came to frontline defense, how could we deal with crossing rivers?

Ouyang Chuan was also a little helpless, as he really had no experience.

The river is not too wide now, it is just a little deep. If it were wide and deep, it would be very troublesome.

 After explaining a lot of difficulties to Su Chen, Ouyang Chuan looked at Su Chen.

 Obviously, this is considering Su Chen as a savior.

There seems to be some urgency in this look.

Although he didn’t say it explicitly, the look of expectation was obvious.

“In a short period of time, I have a few ideas to deal with monsters entering from the river.

 But there are certainly many loopholes. "

Su Chen paused, and Ouyang Chuan became more serious.

 He is now the coordinator of the front line, and everything is on his shoulders.

“I passed by before and saw many fishing nets hanging by the river.

 At first I also thought about using fishing nets to stop the monsters. As long as I saw the net shaking violently on the river, I would know that the monsters were coming.

 But this plan has many disadvantages.

 There are fish and various debris in the river, which will affect and damage the fishing net.

 Furthermore, fishing nets are easily broken by monsters and are difficult to reuse. "

Ouyang Chuan next to him nodded repeatedly.

It’s not that they didn’t think of a way. Just like Su Chen said, they did use fishing nets.

 The effect is not good.

“I thought about it and as a temporary solution, I could drive some wooden stakes into the river.

 Leave a certain distance and control the distance to prevent monsters from passing through.

 In this way, water can flow through normally.

 But if the monster wants to break in, the reaction will be greater than the fishing net.

 And these knocked down wood can be used continuously. "

 This suggestion given by Su Chen actually has the same effect as a fishing net.

They are all used to discover monsters and then take the opportunity to kill them.

Ouyang Chuan nodded, this method is indeed useful.

 But now, he was looking forward to what Su Chen would say next.

Su Chen just pointed out that this is a temporary method, and there must be a fundamental solution.

“If we want a complete cure, maybe we should build a dam.”

 “Dam?”

It seems that no one in this world has ever built such a water conservancy facility.

 Su Chen began to explain the principles to Mr. Ouyang.

 Dams have many functions. One of them is to store water, which can also satisfy agricultural irrigation during dry periods.

 The second is to intercept water and reduce the water level downstream.

In this case, how can the monster hide in water that is at most six or seven feet deep?

After the dam is repaired, it will be a permanent solution.

 You can tell if there are any monsters lurking in the river just by looking at it.

When Ouyang Chuan heard this, his eyes shone slightly, but he really didn’t understand much about dams.

The two of them returned to the camp together. Su Chen couldn't get rid of the particularly delicate dam.

 But for the basics, Su Chen still knows the general principles.

 Furthermore, this river is not very big and the water flow is average.

The water pressure is not particularly high, and the construction craftsmanship is not extraordinary.
