Astral Gods

Chapter 62 Building a Reservoir

The young warriors of the Rhinoceros Tortoise tribe had no idea what their elders were doing. They had been busy on the main peak of Purple Ridge lately, and even the Lord of Zehui Mountain would come over to give them some pointers after finishing his classes.

On the main peak of Ziling Mountain, there is an extremely large barrier lake. This lake was formed naturally, and later the tribe's lord, who possessed earth-type talents, used his earth and stone abilities to reinforce the lake shore layer by layer.

The originally loose rocks and soil became as hard as iron under the Lord's power. Even with torrential rain and swollen lakes, there was never a trace of leakage or collapse. They stood firmly atop the main peak.

Since the Zi lineage migrated here, they have created a neat gap in this barrier lake. The lake water rushes down from the gap, turning into a white waterfall hundreds of meters high, crashing down into the mountains.

This waterfall is not only a spectacular sight in Ziling, but also the source of life for countless creatures living at the foot of the mountain.

The clear, sweet lake water spreads along the mountain gullies, irrigating the surrounding plants, both succulents and ordinary plants.

Nourished by the lake, the trees grew lush and green, and even the surrounding insectoid warrior territories were distributed along the water, creating a vibrant scene.

Meanwhile, Lord Zili and his companions kept talking about building a dam to store water and kept causing trouble there.

As a result, warriors from the entire Rhinoceros Tortoise tribe and even some of its affiliated tribes were mobilized.

The Hercules beetle warriors dug trenches, the Mammoth beetle warriors tamped the foundations, the Sea God beetle warriors froze waterfalls to cut off water sources, and the Double-Forked Rhinoceros Tortoise warriors carried massive boulders to build dams for reservoirs and correct the course of waterways.

The Rhinoceros Tortoise warriors arranged their work according to their abilities, either digging soil or using the soil and rock stabilization capabilities to build dams, making the most of everything they could.

After a group of mountain lord-level warriors and lord-level warriors worked for three or four months, a magnificent reservoir was finally completed in the valley below the mountain.

This reservoir is built against the mountain, with a dam more than ten meters high and more than fifty meters deep. It has a diameter of one or two kilometers and a total water storage capacity of more than 20 million cubic meters.

The dams are all built of huge stones and reinforced soil, and have been solidified with soil and rock, so that from a distance they look like an iron wall stretching across the mountains.

According to the guidance and planning of the master of Zehui Mountain, the water in the landslide dammed lake on the mountaintop will form a waterfall and flow down the mountain into the reservoir.

Then they will adjust the reservoir's drainage volume according to the amount of rainfall, and the water will flow to all parts of Ziling through the canals.

After the reservoir was built, all the Zerg in Ziling

The Mountain Lord-level Sea God Giant Beetle Warrior released the extreme cold power that had frozen the waterfall, and water gushed out from the mountain, plunging into the pool with tremendous force.

Watching the water in the reservoir gradually fill up, Lord Zili looked at Lord Zehui Mountain beside him: "Lord Zehui Mountain, according to your plan, we have already built the reservoir. Can the supporting facilities you mentioned be placed here? Otherwise, we might have spent so much money only to have it all for nothing."

"No," said the Lord of Zehui Mountain with confidence. "The generators and other parts all have standardized specifications. Many kingdoms on the Thousand Trees Continent have purchased our kingdom's products, so we have experience with this."

"But before that, I need to train everyone on how to use electricity and the dangers it poses."

Regarding this, not only the junior warriors, but also the senior warriors of your tribe, including mountain lords and lords, must attend the lecture.

Otherwise, if the wiring short-circuits and catches fire, your entire hilltop will be set on fire.

The Zerg warriors on Banana Island are concentrated in one area to plant their seeds. Once the hilltops are lit, it's tantamount to total annihilation.

Having heard Lord Zehui mention the power short circuit several times in a very serious manner, Lord Zili and the others dared not be negligent.

It proposed a solution: "How about this? You continue to teach the junior soldiers in the morning, and after the junior soldiers finish their classes in the afternoon, I will send higher-level soldiers over to learn about electricity."

Over the past year or two, many Rhino Tortoise Warriors have attended classes intermittently, gaining some knowledge about electricity, but without systematic study.

Now that the hydroelectric power station is completed, we can no longer attend classes sporadically; we must learn every day.

Lord Zehui reluctantly agreed: "Let's try it this way first. Actually, I also need to teach the little warriors about electricity. You can ask them some questions too."

Lord Zili waved his antennae without speaking. As an elder, how could he possibly command respect by asking juniors for all sorts of knowledge? How could he possibly gain their respect in the future?

They were chatting, but the little soldiers didn't care. When they saw the reservoir starting to fill with water, they immediately jumped in to play in the water.

"Glug glug..." Many of the little rhinoceros beetle warriors couldn't swim, and they sank as soon as they jumped into the reservoir.

Upon seeing this, all the insects fell silent.

Lord Zehui hesitated for a moment and said, "Lord Zili, Lord Qingguo, the young warriors of your tribes are somewhat difficult to teach. Five years of education may not meet your expectations. You should be prepared."

It taught them here for three years and witnessed many miracles. Some of the little warriors still can't learn addition and subtraction.

This confirmed that previous Zerg warriors' views on the Rhinoceros Beetle tribe were not entirely prejudiced; these guys really do have some mental issues.

Lord Purple Plum and Lord Green Fruit were both somewhat silent. They had specially invited Lord Ze Hui to come and teach them, wasn't it to improve the overall intelligence of the young warriors?

"Lord Zehui, which of the tribe's young warriors are particularly intelligent and worth training?"

Master Zehui instructed the young warriors, who had a good understanding of them: "There are some clever young warriors, such as the jujube, the millet, the peony, the gardenia, the purple jade, and the blue vine."

"In addition, the yew is indeed very valuable to cultivate; its wisdom far surpasses that of its two older brothers."

"Oh." In the past few years, the total number of junior warriors attending classes has exceeded 80. Are there only a few junior warriors worth training?

The Rhinoceros Tortoise warriors were somewhat disappointed. For a tribe to grow strong, it needs not only enough luck but also enough wisdom.

Without sufficient wisdom, even a moment of luck will only lead to oblivion in the cycle of history. If our tribe wants to grow stronger, the first thing we must do is improve our overall wisdom.

Lord Ze Hui said, "Speaking of yew, I'm reminded that the divinely bestowed seed of red cherry is not yet ripe? Shouldn't it be possible to incorporate the yew into its life capsule and nurture it into a life seed?"

"The divinely bestowed seed matures rather slowly, but it should be ready in the next few days. Once that's done, we'll advance the yew tree to the next age and then add the red-hearted cherry divinely bestowed seed into our life pouch."

The Lord of Zehui Mountain criticized without any politeness: "Since the yew already has two divinely bestowed seeds as life seeds, you should pay attention to its evolution speed."

When I came here three years ago, it was already a five-year-old beginner warrior. Now it has only just advanced to the intermediate level. This evolution speed is far too slow.

A wise warrior should increase its supply of Force-based food to accelerate its growth and allow it to reap the benefits of its destiny sooner.

"Yes, yes, yes." The two lords couldn't refute it, nor could they tell it the truth, so they could only agree perfunctorily.
