Building infrastructure in the wizard world

Chapter 5 The Squirrel Emerging from the Earth
"Director, we're here." Dan Fengyan said, pointing to the cracked ground in front of him, pushing aside the grass that blocked his view.

"En. Let me take a look." After finishing speaking, Shi Hao began to observe the surrounding situation.

Sure enough, it was exactly as described by Dan Fengyan and the strong boy.

This place is where the wilderness, grassland and mountains meet. Shi Hao looked around and could already see the hidden rocky mountains in the distance.And at his feet was a dry riverbed a kilometer wide.

Shi Hao led the children into the dry riverbed, and the huge riverbed was divided into three types of terrain.

One is a rocky ground composed of countless small stones with hard texture and different colors.

The second is a rocky ground made up of huge rocks embraced by ten people.

The third is that the entire riverbed occupies the largest area-cracked muddy land.

"Director, look here. The situation is like this. There is no water here at all. No matter how deep you dig." The burly boy said desperately.He wanted to lick his chapped lips, but the long-term lack of water made him understand that he must not lick at this time, as licking his lips would only hurt more.

"No. That's not necessarily the case." Shi Hao shook his head and said.

After Shi Hao finished speaking, everyone present was stunned, looking at Shi Hao in astonishment.

"Director, what do you mean?" The noble boy rarely asked, "How do you know? There is water here?"

"Look at this kind of soil." Shi Hao knelt down and touched the cracked soil and said, "This kind of soil is a kind of soil with extremely high water content and strong water retention ability, far stronger than the sand over there Stone land."

"But, it's dry now, the soil is cracked like this, how can there be water?" the noble boy said angrily.There are more movements in the hands.

Shi Hao stood up and patted his shoulder.

"When things happen, you can't just look at the surface, you have to see the essence through the phenomenon." Shi Hao pointed to the cracks at his feet and said: "From the cracks in these lands, it can be concluded that the water flow on the surface must flow away due to one or more reasons .Only when the soil surface loses more water than the moist soil below it, and the tension is lower than that of the lower layer, will the soil crack under the combined action of gravity and bottom tension. And because the original water content of the soil is quite high, the soil The layer is thick, so there is such a deep crack."

"Wh... What is the reason for the water loss?" The noble boy was completely convinced by Shi Hao's sentence of seeing the essence through the phenomenon, and subconsciously asked.

"Have you heard from your adults that there have been severe droughts in recent years? Or earthquakes?" Shi Hao asked the burly boy.

"Not recently. But I heard my grandma say that the year my father was born, the village suffered from severe water shortages. At that time, my father almost disappeared. Also, there was a particularly large earthquake in our village that year. This was followed by three years of drought. It was also in that year that this fast-growing and lush grass took root in our place." The strong boy recalled.

"That's right!" Shi Hao analyzed: "The earthquake changed the geographical structure, and the weather caused the loss of surface water. In addition... the invasion of species caused the current situation."

Several teenagers who could understand Shi Hao's words all looked at Shi Hao dumbfounded.

He actually analyzed the reason why the river dried up in a few words.

So is this person really able to help us find water?
Who the hell is he?It's amazing.

The teenagers had hope in their hearts, and looked at Shi Hao with admiration and expectation.

"The reason for the depletion of water has been found. Then we can make a bold guess: There is a high probability that there will be water under the ground under our feet, a lot of water." Shi Hao said firmly: "Water will not disappear from this world. It just changes shape or stays in another location."

"Then how should we find it, Director? What can I do? Where should we start digging?" The burly boy asked urgently.I can't wait to dig the ground immediately.

The most convenient of course is to use satellites to detect.But where are the satellites in this weird world?
Shi Hao said to the teenagers: "Leave this matter to me, you all stand back."

After all, before the children could react, he opened his hands in a gesture of embracing the world.

At this time, Shi Hao's mental power formed a circle, with Shi Hao's body as the center, expanding in all directions.

Shi Hao controls the [-] neurons in his brain to swing undulatingly, and with the swing of these neurons, the surrounding situation is transmitted to Shi Hao's brain in the form of pictures.

The children stood beside Shi Hao, and suddenly felt something swept over their bodies.

This feeling for children is like being suddenly watched by a person or a beast.

But the children looked left and right, but they couldn't find where the "line of sight" came from?
Shi Hao's mental power continued to extend underground.

"I didn't expect the soil layer in this world to be so thick. It's a full two meters deep. You must know that the soil layer of Blue Star is generally about [-] centimeters. It's a hundred times worse." Shi Hao found another place where it was not easy to find water. reason.

His mental power didn't stop, it passed through the soil layer, and then explored down to the residual soil layer.

The residual layer is the soil layer formed by the loose debris and soil left in place after the stones have not been transported after weathering. Generally, water cannot exist here.

"Go further down." Shi Hao's mental power went to a depth of tens of meters underground, and finally reached the semi-weathered layer.

Part of the minerals in the semi-regolith have changed.

Shi Hao's mental power continued to explore downwards.

100 m.

200 m.

300 m.

400 m.

500 meters!
Beads of sweat dripped out of Shi Hao's forehead one by one.His back was cold and he was sweating unknowingly.

600 m.

Shi Hao's brain was beeping... beeping... beeping!
But this is only just breaking through the semi-weathered layer.Immediately afterwards, Shi Hao's consciousness finally broke through the semi-weathered layer and came to the bedrock layer.

But it was when his mental power just swept at the junction of the bedrock layer and the semi-weathered layer, the accident happened.

In the underground world explored by Shi Hao, between the semi-weathered layer and the bedrock layer, there are still two groups of "aboriginal people" inhabiting here, they are the mountain rat and the squirrel.

"The mountain rat obviously doesn't like water and is even afraid of water. Why is it here? And the Jenny is a water-type elf. How can it live with the mountain rat, two kinds of elves that have nothing to do with horses and cattle? And still Living 600 meters underground?" Shi Hao felt more and more strange about this place.

"Jenny!" Someone is watching us!
"Jenni...Jenni...Jenni..." Everyone get up...there is an enemy coming...ready to fight...

In the darkness, hundreds of squirrels that had been huddled together suddenly opened their eyes and shouted.They have fierce eyes and are ready to fight at any time.

Shi Hao was on the ground, and heard the cries of the Squirrels.The strange thing is that Shi Hao actually understood what the Squirtle said.

"Can I understand their communication?" Shi Hao muttered in a low voice: "My mental strength focuses on camouflage and illusion, and I can occasionally explore, but communication across species is a new ability that has never appeared before. "

Just when Shi Hao was still thinking about communicating with the elves, mounds of dirt popped up one after another on the parched ground where Shi Hao was.

First yellow three-pointed claws appeared one after another on the ground, and then yellow figures appeared one after another.

"It's a mountain rat." The burly boy said in surprise, "There are so many mountain rats."

"No, the rats have all run away, and there are still things behind. The things coming from behind are dangerous. They want to kill us." Dan Fengyan lived in the market since he was a child, and is particularly sensitive to special emotions such as murderous intent and disgust.He can be keenly aware of other people's intentions in every word and tone of voice.

On the dry river bed, the rats scattered around, and the jenny turtles came out of the soil one by one.

"Jeney! Jenny!" That's him!I didn't know what to use to detect us just now!

"Jenny!" Get rid of him!

"Jennie, Jenny." Don't use water skill moves, the water we have left can only barely hold us until the next water gathering.

The first few of the Jenny Turtles who came out first discussed.

Shi Hao understood the communication of a few squirrels, with a puzzled look on his face.

Jenny Turtle is obviously a gentle elf, so why do you want to fight and kill him when you meet him?Could it be that I offended their territory?
Turtles don't have such a strong sense of territory, do they?
"Jenny." Bang.

A Squirrel was the first to perform the move - impact.It charged towards Shi Hao, and it really did the same as when the Squirrels communicated, it didn't use water-type moves, but normal-type moves.

Fortunately, Shi Hao's mental power has been monitoring the squirrels. As soon as the squirrel moves, he immediately predicts the squirrel's landing point, and avoids it before the squirrel hits him.

Boom!
The Jenny turtle that used the impact hit the rock with its head, and the rock more than two meters high was broken into pieces.

And the Squirrel who used the impact also sat on the ground dizzy, with a big swelling on his head.

"Hiss. If this impact force really hits me, it will not be good or bad." Shi Hao calculated, the impact force that can smash rocks into pieces may not be able to be achieved by ordinary cars .

"Jenny. Jenny, Jenny." The human dodged the third child's attack.Look at mine, spinning at high speed.

Immediately another Squirrel made a move, it retracted its body into the shell, turned itself quickly, and smashed itself at Shi Hao as a high-speed moving weapon.

"I'll hide." Shi Hao avoided the attack by using the parabolic principle of physics.

But the squirrel's high-speed rotation turned another corner in the air, and attacked Shi Hao again.

"Why do you still have a turn? This is unreasonable." Shi Hao shouted, turning sideways to avoid the attack again.

This scene finally stimulated the children who had been stunned and didn't know how to react.

"Director, I'll help you. I'll fight them." The burly boy roared, picked up a stone from the ground and rushed up.

"Damn it, I was preempted by this stupid big guy again." Dan Fengyan said in a low voice, then he picked up a stone without the slightest hesitation and rushed towards the group of squirrels.Before rushing out, he said to the noble boy: "You have a lot of eyes, you know the director's ability... Besides, you don't know what the appearance of the Jenny Turtle means?"

Of course the extravagant boy knows about the headmaster's ability.That's why he didn't take any action, but Dan Fengyan's last words caused the noble boy to have a lot of thoughts uncontrollably.

"The appearance of the Squirrel means that there is water in the ground. Otherwise, the water elf like the Squirrel would not be able to survive. The director is right."

"The director of the garden said yesterday that the more you work, the more you get, and the distribution according to your work. It means that only those who work hard will get the rewards. I have to work hard, otherwise the harvest will not be my share."

"The little beggar really counted me dead. It's a dirty trick."

The noble young man instantly understood the meaning of Dan Fengyan's last sentence, so without further ado, he picked up a stone in his hand and rushed towards the Squirrel.

Desperate!
come!

Anyway, if there is no water, you will die!
Today, my lord, I will call and eat you squirrels!

The teenagers picked up rocks and rushed towards the Squirrels, and the Squirrels were also ready to fight.

"Jenny." Bite.

The leading Squirrel also showed its teeth, ready to use the move - bite, this move is of the evil attribute, and it has the effect of intimidating the enemy.

"I'll go. It's scary." While avoiding the attack of the high-speed spinning Squirrel, Shi Hao was shocked by the power displayed by the Squirtle.

I have to find a way to retreat!
Facing the unknown power and powerful damage of the Squirtle, Shi Hao was timid again.

He thought to himself: It's just a detection position, and it's not a battleground where life and death are at stake.The riverbed is so long and wide, at worst, I can still detect it by walking for two hours away from this group of jenny turtles.As long as there is water in the ground, it doesn't matter where it is!

Just as Shi Hao was avoiding the high-speed rotation of Jenny Turtle's second child, he was thinking about how to take those little kids away with him.

A brave voice sounded: "Let go of our director, come to me!"

Shi Hao:? ? ?
Shi Hao: ...

　After signing the contract, I'm wondering if I can urge a wave of recommendation tickets and rewards!

　　Brothers and sisters, little brothers and sisters, please recommend tickets and rewards! ! !
