Our factory traveled through time

Chapter 70 South-to-North Water Diversion Project

The river receded quickly, and after half a month, there was no trace of the river erosion left.

Nature's ability to heal itself is truly astonishing.

In the past two weeks, Zhang Luoyan, who has integrated all the factories in the park, has directly ushered in an era of large-scale infrastructure construction.

The first priority was to build defensive fortifications. The entrance to the Hengduan Mountains prompted Longmen Bamboo and Wood to undertake a large-scale construction project to build defensive fortifications.

Although the ferocious beasts and birds of prey in the north look down on their barren land, as the current headquarters of the industrial park, they naturally will not neglect the defense of such a military stronghold.

This strategic military location was also named "Beimenguan" by Wang Ce, a homophone for "Gate of Hell"!

According to the latest statistics, the industrial park currently has a total population of 1425 people, all of whom are evolved beings, and the entire population is a soldier.

Of these, thirty-six have reached the second level of life, while only five have reached the third level.

Zhang Luoyan and Huang Feipeng were the first to reach the third rank. Logically, the third spot should have been given to Kurokawa Yoshiko, since this woman's combat power was stronger.

Before her time travel, Yoshiko Kurokawa was a fencer with excellent physical fitness and coordination. Combined with her invisibility ability, she was definitely more suitable for improvement than Jiajia Zhao.

However, since she was from another ethnic group, Wang Ce still gave the spot to Zhao Jiajia.

There is also Guo Ping'an at the third tier. After all, he has the foundation of Fuhuakang and so many people support him. Even if they hand over 30%, it would be enough for him to be promoted.

These people were all within Wang Ce's expectations. The only one who was surprised was Yang Miao, who had managed to climb up the ranks all by himself.

Guo Ping'an and Yang Miao were in charge of defending the North Gate. Firstly, the two could check and balance each other, and secondly, they were indeed ambitious.

Zhou Li of Daqiang Electronics Technology and Luo Ji of Jingmao Luggage, after all, are not young anymore and lack the drive, so they have voluntarily stepped down to the second line.

Zhou Li has essentially taken over Zhang Luoyan's original position, mainly because Wang Ce saw that Zhang Luoyan was indeed working too hard, so he handed over the power of internal affairs to Zhou Li and Luo Ji.

Zhou Li was skilled in calculation and indeed had the talent to manage the daily lives and regulations of thousands of people in an orderly manner.

Luo Ji is in charge of internal security. So far, no crimes have occurred, but there are still undiscovered wild beasts that need to be dealt with promptly.

"Brother Ce, we've basically wiped out the area south of the Hengduan Mountains. There are over a thousand people there, and they need to eat every day. Even with all the previous harvest, we still can't fill their stomachs."

Wong Fei-hung muttered to himself. He had originally thought that he would never have to worry about food again, but after only a month or two, he was worried about it again.

They still have food to eat, but the rate at which they acquire it is clearly not keeping up with the rate at which their stored food is being consumed.

Aside from the receding of the great river and the initial clearing of the area south of the Hengduan Mountains, which yields a large harvest, the harvest gradually decreases over time.

"If you look at it that way, the rising river is actually a good thing, at least it brings us a lot of fish."

"The South-to-North Water Diversion Project is about to be completed, which will ensure a stable and sustainable fish catch."

Inside the conference room, Yoshiko Kurokawa placed her long legs on the conference table.

The hidden area faced Wang Ce directly, partially obscured and indistinct.

Wang Ce strongly suspected that Kurokawa Yoshiko was sent by Zhang Luoyan to test him, because Kurokawa Yoshiko appeared very respectful in front of Zhang Luoyan and dared not overstep her bounds in the slightest.

In his presence, she was alluring and seductive. He wasn't stupid; he could still discern the art of tea ceremony.

"The South-to-North Water Diversion Project is imperative. The Hengduan Mountains block the airflow from the north, resulting in insufficient humidity in this area, making it difficult for crops to grow."

"The south is not suitable for large-scale arable land, so the best solution is the South-to-North Water Diversion Project proposed by Zhang Luoyan."

Digging canals is indeed a huge project, and many factories have even expressed negative sentiments. However, it is a great undertaking that is detrimental in the present but beneficial in the future.

Only by combining agriculture and animal husbandry can they fundamentally solve the food crisis.

People in the park can't all eat rice every day. Priority is given to the management, then the troops guarding the North Gate, and finally the workers inside.

Based on the current output, these workers are lucky if they can get a bowl of thin porridge a day.

Professor Guo is working hard to improve rice. Just a few days ago, he revealed that he has discovered a completely new variety by hybridizing it with foxtail grass.

Once the stability of this variety is determined, it can be planted on a large scale.

Only then did Wang Ce realize that the old man might have actually been researching something when he made him eat foxtail grass.

As for raising chickens and pigs, no species that could potentially be domesticated have been found yet. This is also because he and Huang Feipeng killed too many species during their previous cleanup efforts, almost driving many species to extinction.

"Our internal development is nearing saturation, so we need to channel resources outwards and use external stimuli to drive a more stable and harmonious internal operation."

Wang Ce learned this from Zhang Luoyan. Although many matters south of the Hengduan Mountains are still in the development stage, pioneers like them naturally cannot waste their energy on these trivial matters.

Throughout history, prosperity inevitably leads to decline. If we remain complacent in our small territory south of the Hengduan Mountains, over time, those below will inevitably develop other ambitions.

Once people are full, they will have more pursuits; desires can never be satisfied.

Therefore, there has been a policy of keeping the people ignorant since ancient times. If everyone below has their own ideas and wants to be superior to others, then who will dig the irrigation canals for the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, who will plant rice paddies, and who will operate the equipment in so many factories?

Currently, the entire area is divided into four sections, which firmly control the area south of the Hengduan Mountains.

At the southernmost point, there is a mining team led by Suqu Jewelry Houji. The previous crystal core mine has already begun to collect, sort, cut and polish, eventually forming individual crystal cores.

However, Wang Ce was a bottomless pit, still lacking the necessary skills to reach the third rank. As for that Xuan Turtle, it was even more of a bottomless pit than Wang Ce.

Fortunately, the Xuan Turtle didn't seem to mind whether you gave a lot or a little.

Further north lies the original industrial park, which remains an industrial and political center, where raw materials are transported here for processing of many finished products.

Further north lies the area where the Black Tortoise is located. A planting experiment area centered around the Black Tortoise has been established there, and all planting is currently concentrated in that area.

Some light industrial factories have already moved their equipment there.

Led by Luneng Group, a bamboo and timber company in Longmen, this area was mainly engaged in large-scale construction, producing building materials to be transported north to build defensive fortifications, as well as constructing fences around farmland and residential areas for workers.

With Guo Lao as his assistant, he devoted himself to the research and development of hybrid rice and tried to increase its yield.

Xiao Yong's chemical plant also moved here, mainly because a sulfur mine was discovered, and it would also need to provide fertilizer for farming, so he simply moved it here as well.

Then there's the army in the far north, led by Guo Ping'an and Yang Miao, with Zhou Jiakun as his assistant.

The army consists of 300 people, the most elite force in the entire park, and can be said to have gathered the most capable fighters in the park.

Zhou Jiakun is definitely not a combat-type talent, but Wang Ce and Zhang Luoyan, along with the other four, are focused on cultivating their martial arts skills and are unwilling to go over.

When there was really no one else available, they called Zhou Jiakun over to fill in.

After all, it is the northern gateway, and the North Gate must be supervised by its own people.

"The Xuan Turtle hasn't moved an inch in half a month. There might really be something fishy about that place. But now there's been a breakthrough, because the Xuan Turtle seems to be allowing Zhao Jiajia to get close."

"Zhao Jiajia's water control ability is used to frequently wash the Xuan Turtle and tell it stories, which probably wins the Xuan Turtle's favor."

"It seems the Black Tortoise is teaching her something right now, let's go take a look!"

Zhang Luoyan pushed open the conference room door, and Kurokawa Yoshiko immediately took her long legs off the table.

Wang Ce could see clearly this time; it seemed like he wasn't wearing anything underneath!

"This little girl looks so innocent and adorable, but she actually has this skill? Let's go check her out!"

The four set off. Wang Ce had always coveted the [Turtle Breathing Technique], as it was a cultivation technique. However, the Xuan Turtle did not allow anyone to approach, so he naturally had no chance to learn it.

Now that he's allowed Zhao Jiajia to get close, it means he also has a chance.

When the four of them arrived, they were speechless after hearing Zhao Jiajia's story.

"You told the black tortoise the story of the tortoise and the hare?"
