#407 - Clay tablets connecting isolated islands

After officially joining the company, the Land God became visibly more active.

It asked, "Can we promote this artificial land creation technology in other places?"

"If we can increase the amount of new land, it will not only accommodate more life, but I will also become stronger and regain my former power."

Zhou Yi shook his head: "Not yet. The suspended ring road is still in the exploratory stage. Although a lot of repetitive labor has been handed over to the workers and factories, the key framework, film covering, and reinforcement still need Wu Yi to complete independently."

In fact.

Initially, Zhou Yi thought of using reinforced concrete from his era.

This way, once the technology is mature, it can be replicated on a large scale.

However, the simulation test results from the programming department were not ideal.

Concrete is composed of cement, sand, gravel, steel bars, additives, and water.

The sand must be river sand or manufactured sand. Emerald City has a serious shortage and needs to purchase large quantities from outside.

Although there is a river in the Sand Port area, the local river sand has too high mud content, too many impurities, and unreasonable particle gradation, and it does not meet the concrete standards at all.

Furthermore, the steel bars must be hot-rolled steel bars. The steelmaking technology in Steel Refining City is crude and cannot produce steel bars that meet this standard.

Next is water.

Making concrete requires a large amount of clean fresh water, but in fact, there are many places locally that need water. Large-scale farmland and the increasing population consume a lot of clean fresh water, as well as the current electrolysis towers, clothing factories, and production factories are all major water consumers.

If water consumption is further increased, seasonal water difficulties may occur if there is little rainfall.

In addition to these objective environmental constraints, the programming department also made a detailed forecast form, simulating the various needs and expenses of building a cement plant and building reinforced concrete suspended ring roads.

After all the calculations, the cost of building a concrete suspended layer is 750 times that of Wu Yi's handmade construction.

Zhou Yi lost his temper after reading this report.

So, based on the actual situation, he and the manufacturing department and the programming department came up with a practical solution.

This solution is the current factory model of worker assistance and Wu Yi's leadership.

Land manufacturing has officially become modularized.

The first step is for the Warrior Crabs to dig out large amounts of silt and gravel from the bottom of the Dead Sea and send them to the outside of the factory.

The second step is for the workers to use these raw materials to cast molds, make standard mud slabs, dry them, and then fire them to set the shape.

The third step is to send the mud slabs to the designated location and use various abandoned old human buildings as the base to assemble the mud slab land of the suspended layer.

The fourth step is for Wu Yi to complete the main framework and film covering and reinforce it.

This method has a simple process that any worker can handle, and the cost is low.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to promote it to the outside world.

Because the core of building a floating land layer is Wu Yi's [Sand Control] ability.

Currently, no machine can replace this step.

Zhou Yi explained these causes and consequences and said: "To promote it to the outside world, our land expansion technology may have to be more mature, and the supporting facilities will be easier to achieve."

The Land God also calmed down: "I didn't expect it to be so complicated... The current result is already very good."

Wu Yi also said: "In the past year or so, I have been thinking about how to make land expansion bigger. I think we should use land to connect the land in different Dead Sea areas, so that the isolated islands become interconnected continental environments, and whether it is farming, trade transportation, or the exchanges between residents in various places, it will become faster and more convenient."

"I had no idea how to do this before."

"Once when I was chatting with Niger, he mentioned something, saying that the Mud Tree civilization used mud slabs to build aerial bridges and passages between trees."

The Bone Man gesticulated with his white bone hands wearing an expensive watch: "They use mud slabs as tools and building materials, but the way I use them is different. The mud slabs of the Mud Tree people contain light amber, the higher the content, the better."

Zhou Yi immediately asked Yuanxiao to call Niger over.

The Mud Tree man with pointed hair ran all the way, and when he heard about the mud slabs, he looked relieved and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his big hand: "So that's all it is..."

Zhou Yi said sternly: "This is very important. Explain this mud slab clearly. Can they really connect stably and cross high-altitude areas?"

"This is the technology of the Cave People."

Niger thought for a while: "Our tree department naturalists have found after a lot of testing that some mud slabs left by the Cave People can be associated with space bubbles."

"Space is like a special sticky mud structure. They move to a certain extent, but they also have powerful forces. Visible space channels are called bubbles, and invisible ones that cannot be directly used are called caves."

"The cave slabs rely on the power of space bubbles and space caves."

He continued: "The prerequisite is that there must be space bubbles, based on space bubbles, to build mud slabs around it. Space bubbles are space coordinates, and only around this can it be carried out."

Zhou Yi frowned: "Won't space bubbles suck in the surrounding matter?"

"You are right. But in fact, only energy can be completely sucked in. Matter will be compressed around the space channel, forming high-density condensate. Specific cave slabs made of light amber can form a connection with it and will be filled with the power and matter provided by the space bubble."

"But first, some light amber mud slabs must be made, with specific holes punched in them, replicating the 12 types of cave slabs of the Cave People."

Niger spoke eloquently: "According to the diagrams left by the Cave People, these 12 types of mud slabs correspond to 12 types of space bubbles. Try these 12 types of mud slabs separately, and you will know which one has the best compatibility with the space bubble."

"If the compatibility is good, it will maintain stable adsorption and fixation, and the cave energy will complete the connection with the holes on the mud slab."

"After the light amber mud slab creates a foundation that wraps the space bubble, it will expand and release matter outwards, forming a space tree. On this basis, it can be expanded outwards."

"The power provided by space is extremely stable, and it is difficult to destroy. To destroy these substances is equivalent to destroying the source space cave."

The Cave People's space technology is too advanced and unique, and it sounds a bit counterintuitive.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

But Zhou Yi's ability to accept has also been trained.

From the Light Imprint Technique to the Moon Beast on the other side of the space bubble, to the Mud Tree civilization, each one belongs to the outrageous among the outrageous in his own era.

Zhou Yi asked the Land God next to him: "What do you think?"

The conceptual life like a mud man in the clouds said: "...I don't understand at all."

"It's okay. Let's go to the field to test it first."

Zhou Yi asked Niger: "But do you remember the 12 types of cave slabs clearly?"

"Please rest assured, that is my professional field."

The Mud Tree man patted his chest and said: "I am an explorer of the Mud Department, these are the basics that must be remembered and skillfully made. Sometimes we are trapped or blocked by monsters, and we have to rely on these cave slabs to surround ourselves in order to wait for rescue."

Zhou Yi and his party immediately came to the space bubble closest to Sand Port, which is also the passage through which the Breaker Haluk came.

Niger began to knead the mud slabs on the spot.

His pair of big hands easily completed the shaping and solidification of the sticking light amber.

Only then did Zhou Yi see that the Cave People's mud slabs were not mud boards as imagined, they were very regular mud bricks, about one meter in length, width, and height.

These mud bricks were punched with holes, the number of holes on each side was different, looking like a strange large dice.

Some of the holes inside were connected to each other, but some were completely isolated, showing a peculiar maze-like pipe structure.

Zhou Yi turned on [Panoramic Reading].

[This substance has a special configuration space, which can connect to the spatial momentum of a certain dimension, the principle is unknown.]

The Rock Core Clan's evaluation is not low.

It really is a tool that uses space energy.

Niger created 12 cave slabs in one breath and tested them one by one.

The first two were sucked into it and directly melted into the black mud in the space bubble.

The third one floated steadily next to the space bubble. A wisp of black mud extended from the space bubble and completed an automatic docking with the holes of the cave slab, which looked very peculiar.

"It's done, it's done! It's this one, it's number 3."

Niger said happily: "As long as you surround this with the number 3 cave slab, the energy and matter of this space bubble can hatch a space tree, which can be built outwards."

"In the Mud Tree side, a space bubble can support at least 100 towering trees connected to our side, covering more than 100,000 people, converted into this side with more dense living, it should be enough to support the scale of several regions."

Zhou Yi's fingers trembled as he listened.

The Land Department is still piecing together mud slabs one by one, but the Cave People have already used space bubbles to create artificial land blocks many years ago... This civilization's space technology seems to be quite mature.

He immediately ordered: "Immediately manufacture cave slabs and hatch space trees!"

"Yes, Chairman!"
