Chapter 767: Widening the River

Shen Qingqian has been feeling uneasy these past two days because she suddenly learned that there were droughts all over the world.

If the high temperature continues, will the water in northern Hubei still be usable? And those invaders, we can't kill them all.

The system describes the sacred spring as "inexhaustible", which means that the water in it will never run out. So what currently limits the amount of water in northern Hubei is actually the width of the riverbed.

If the river is widened, will it be possible to increase the amount of water flowing down from the Jinshan Mountain?

Thinking of this possibility, Shen Qingqian suddenly became excited. Regardless of the fact that the sun was high in the sky, he prepared to go to the army immediately.

She needs to discuss the feasibility of this matter with Sheng Ze.

"Sixth sister, are you going out?" Shen Qingman looked at her strangely.

Shen Qingqian nodded, "I have to go immediately if something happens. Second sister, you go back to the room first. I will be back soon."

"No, my second and third brothers are not at home. I'm worried about you going alone," Shen Qingman said immediately, "I'll go with you."

After saying that, without waiting for Shen Qingqian to refuse, he went back to the house, changed his clothes, and moved a few ice basins to the carriage.

Shen Qingman also learned to drive a cart, but her skills were not very good. Shen Qingqian said to her, "Second sister, you sit in the cart and I will drive."

"I'll go with you. Put the ice basin at your feet." Shen Qingman shook his head.

Shen Qingqian had no choice but to sit in the front of the carriage with her and go to the army in the scorching sun.

When they arrived at the place, Shen Qingman stayed in the car, while Shen Qingqian went straight to the Military Equipment Bureau.

He said last night that unless there was an emergency, he would stay in the military prison for the time being.

Old Qin is also in the Military Equipment Bureau, still working day and night to develop new gunpowder weapons.

"Why are you here?" Sheng Ze was called out, and hurriedly pulled Shen Qingqian to the small room next to him. There were two ice basins here, which was cooler than other places.

Shen Qingqian was pulled to sit down by him, and before she could even take a sip of water, she said, "I've thought of a way to increase the amount of water in northern Hubei."

"What's the real method?" Sheng Ze's eyes flashed with surprise and he stared at her closely.

Shen Qingqian shared his guess and then said, "Now we need to test whether to widen the river or deepen it. If the river is too wide, it will increase water evaporation, which would be a waste."

Sheng Ze nodded when he heard this, and paced around the room. After thinking for a while, he said, "I will take people to Chengjin Mountain right away."

He first asked people to observe the situation in a small area. If it was really feasible, he would organize people to solve the problem after the war was over.

"Okay, then you should be careful and come back early." Shen Qingqian said casually.

Sheng Ze took her hand and squeezed it gently, "You'll be fine in northern Hubei."

"It's hard to say. Didn't we let those people sneak in before?" Shen Qingqian raised her eyebrows. She didn't feel safe at all now.

Sheng Ze said calmly: "They are nothing to be afraid of."

"Yeah, it's nothing to be afraid of, but it's what you got in exchange for gunpowder weapons." Shen Qingqian rolled his eyes at him.

Sheng Ze fell silent after hearing this.

War is the last thing that can solve a problem, but sometimes it is really necessary.

There are more than 100,000 people outside the Great Wall. If these people can stay in northern Hubei, the population crisis in northern Hubei will be solved immediately.

Well, why does he have to kill these people? Wouldn't it be better to recruit them or assimilate them?

Of course, we still have to rely on gunpowder weapons to defeat them now. Only by shocking them mentally can we avoid trouble in the future.

Sheng Ze's expression suddenly changed, and Shen Qingqian was startled. "What's wrong?"
