Chapter 231 I'll Just Call You God of Land

Zhou Yi came all the way to the artificial land area.

Previously, Wu Yi built a 100-meter sea mud road along the coast, with the end point being the relocated elevator building.

Now, with the roof of the elevator building as the center of the plane, a square plot extends in all directions.

The land has been filled with soil and some green plants have been planted, which is very eye-catching on snowy days.

In this square enclave, Skeleton Man Wu Yi and Minister of Agriculture Zheng Tao were discussing something.

Zhou Yi walked up the stairs.

Only then did he notice that the Kestrel was also here, but it was hovering and checking on the lower side of the suspended land.

Zhou Yi found the skeleton Wu Yi and asked, "What's going on here?"

The land minister chuckled and said, "Chairman, I brought the land layer up."

"When I was expanding the mud slab below, I saw the structure of the Wuhu viaduct and wondered if I could build it to look like a bridge."

"Then I found Nemo. He specializes in tunnels and pipes and knows the soil structure best."

The skeleton pointed to his shoulder.

It turns out that the electromechanical mouse is there too.

"Nemo said that as long as there is enough support, the road surface will not collapse. Later, I discussed it with him and built support columns and pier structures under the road surface. In this way, even if heavy vehicles pass by, it will not cause instability."

“We have tested it and the load-bearing capacity is not much different from that of Emerald Avenue.”

"Then a new problem arises. Roads are ultimately meant to connect different areas, and roads here would only lead to the Dead Sea and would be useless. The floating islands where I used to live gave me inspiration - we can repair floating islands, and they are also very light, but they can not only bear weight, but also plant various trees."

The skeleton pointed around and said, "I found Sun Chonglai, and he came up with an idea."

"It said that the Mushroom Forest wanted to use Emerald City as a mobile home to grow mushrooms inside. This would save land because each layer could be covered with soil for planting. So I thought, this is it, this is the purpose of artificial land!"

Wu Yi opened his arms and moved his fingers: "Use the supporting island as the core to expand the suspended soil layer."

"The land is limited, but if we can add a new layer of ground to the sky, we can solve the problem of insufficient land area. We conducted a series of experiments and finally determined that there is no problem."

"I first made a lot of basic clay slabs, about 2 meters long, 10 centimeters thick, and then soaked them in the Dead Sea to be covered with natural light. The process was very quick."

"Then I moved them out one by one, joined them on the roof, and connected them together with sand control. Then I repaired the connecting light film and pieced together a small suspended floor."

It stepped on the suspended layer under its feet and said, "Chairman, its structure is very stable. The light film gives it a strong layer of dead light support and protection. It is connected to the Dead Sea and can continue to expand."

"Hongshun helped me test it and finally calculated the safety specifications of a suspended floor, which is about 300 meters in length and width, and the height is controlled below 100 meters. In other words, such a suspended floor is 10 acres."

"We can plant crops by spreading suitable soil on the mud layer. We used the silt from the bottom of the Dead Sea, which can be high-quality soil after drying."

"The thorn grass and cattail we planted are growing well and faster than on the ground. In the future, we can build a suspended layer to plant more crops."

"If we encounter a dry season, we can hire a mechanical and electrical city to carry out artificial rainfall at a specific point, or purchase special sprinkler equipment. As for the soil fertility problem, the agricultural machinery brothers said they can handle it."

The skeleton described the development process here in a happy tone.

Zhou Yi was overjoyed when he heard this.

This is equivalent to printing the land and then connecting it in a modular way.

You were born for this!
Speaking of which, Wu Yi used to be a repairman in his hometown on Fudao, so it can be said that he is returning to his old job.

"Chairman, we are mainly discussing one issue now."

The skeleton man added: "How should we build the suspended floor? We currently have two plans."

"The first option is to continue to expand independently in this way, by moving the submarine buildings to build support islands. Each support island can expand 10 acres of land. This method is the safest."

"The second option is linkage, which is to connect different suspended layers, so that it becomes a whole piece of shallow land at a high altitude."

"However, as the area continues to expand, more support and maintenance will be needed in the future, which will involve certain risks. The advantage is that they are all on the same level, making it easy to get up and down, and convenient for farmers or workers to work."

Zhou Yi made a decision in an instant: "Choose option 1. We can try to connect it later. Now that this project has just begun, we must prioritize safety. Also, we need to build a wall around the boundary of the suspended floor to prevent workers from falling down."

The skeleton nodded. "I understand. One more thing, Chairman. I plan to build a spiral bridge to connect the upper and lower mud slabs."

"This way, the company's vehicles can drive to the upper level and load the crops harvested here. The lower level can also be transformed into a soot dam, so there will be no problem with support."

"That's a good idea."

Zhou Yi praised.

Agriculture is done on the top and mining is done on the bottom. Vehicles can pass through it to transport both food and soot sand, which is centralized production and highly efficient.

Zhou Yi discussed many relevant details with Bone Man, Zheng Tao, Nemo and Red Falcon.

His main concerns are safety and stability.

The suspended floor, which looks like a giant mushroom, has a sense of fragility. Hongshun provided technical support for this: "I simulated this construction model through the database of Recursive City. The area of 300 meters by 300 meters is very safe."

"The strength and toughness of the light film are very high, enough to provide stable support for the suspended layer. However, the higher the distance from the Dead Sea standard surface, the lower the strength of the light film will be. Currently, we will control it within 30 meters above the sea level, so there is enough light film support."

"Many offshore lighthouses in electromechanical cities are about 30 meters high. Practice has proved that this height is very safe."

"Zhou, please trust the city's many years of practical experience."

Zhou Yi knew that the common sense of the past was still influencing some of his judgments.

He always felt that gravity would cause the overly wide suspended land to collapse.

But on the Dead Sea in the wasteland world, it is extremely stable.

most importantly.

This new method of artificial land can greatly reduce material costs.

In the conventional sense, land reclamation is done by transporting soil and rocks by barges, dumping them directly on the sea, and then building bank protection facilities, as was done in Union City.

This project consumes a huge amount of sand, gravel and soil, and can only expand the continental shelf area. It has to stop at the continental slope because further consumption will be unaffordable.

Therefore, land reclamation itself is not only costly, but also has its limits.

However, the suspended layer land invented by Wu Yi has fewer environmental restrictions and only requires a small amount of sand, gravel and soil to assemble and construct a complete plain land.

It is fast, cheap and stable to build.

What is most lacking in the wasteland era is land.

With the joint efforts of everyone, Wu Yi is constantly revising and optimizing the construction methods of the entire suspended floor project.

Then it started to get busy again.

Zhou Yi was also talking until his mouth was dry and he felt like he hadn't said enough.

When he came to his senses, he remembered that there was another person next to him.

The clay figure on the cloud was still floating quietly beside him.

Others don't seem to be able to see what it looks like.

Zhou Yi said to it: "You have heard what we said. This is the situation."

"These suspended lands are fragile. I can use "soil cover" on them."

The clay man suddenly said, "Sealing the land will speed up its operation, and the exchange of energy and matter will be faster, and the grain output will be more than twice as much as before. However, this can only last for one year, and it needs to be expanded again after the expiration."

Zhou Yi suddenly realized.

It turns out that its ability is of the BUFF-adding type, which is perfectly suited for farming.

"But my ability to seal the earth will also create an additional effect."

It says: "The land of the burial ground is affected by my power, and the life inside may be alienated to a certain extent, leading to unpredictable results."

Zhou Yi was surprised: "Will a monster appear?"

"It could be an aggressive monster, or it could be a purely alien species. This is the random result of the natural combination of various substances and energies."

“How strong is it?”

"If it is a light nano species, the initial stage is about the E to D level."

That's fine.

The warrior crabs just needed combat training, so here they were. The alienated monsters born in the suspended farmland were left to them to deal with.

Zhou Yi immediately said: "Please don't hesitate to seal our suspended layer."

The clay man said, "The world needs more land, and so do I."

Zhou Yi understood what it meant.

Just give yourself more suspended layers.

"I'll just call you Tudigong. In my hometown, this is the name of the god of land."

"Okay. The name doesn't matter."

The clay man looked in the direction of the skeleton man: "It's a pity that it's a little weak. It takes too long to build the suspended layer."

Zhou Yi understood immediately.

The land is recognized as an A-level Wu Yiruo, and it seems that it is also a light core body.
