"Puff—"

Gu Yuancheng couldn't help laughing at her description.

"You mean the fire dragon turning over? It hasn't happened in the last few decades. But according to historical records, about a thousand years ago, a rare fire dragon turning over did happen in Hansongling, located on the border of Southern Qi."

"It is said that black ash was sprayed from the top of the mountain, and soon buried several nearby villages, killing tens of thousands of people. But Hansongling is thousands of miles away from here, and even dragons are rarely seen in the nearby counties, let alone fire dragons."

The dragon he mentioned is the same as what modern people call earthquake.

After hearing this, Sheng Nanxi finally confirmed her guess and immediately sat up straight with excitement.

Good guy! Your sister Xi called him a good guy!

There are hot springs and hot springs? Isn't this a manifestation of the abundant thermal resources?

And according to Xiao Tai, earthquakes rarely occur in nearby counties, which means that this area is not in the earthquake zone!

The popular science that Sheng Nancy had read before mentioned that there is no absolute correlation between the abundance of thermal resources and the frequency of earthquakes. The thermal resources in some areas may come from specific geological structures or heat sources and water circulation inside the earth.

In modern times, people living in these areas can not only use the abundant thermal resources to provide urban heating and electricity, but also vigorously develop greenhouse planting and animal husbandry.

In her time, technology had developed to the point where it was possible to use thermal energy at a very low cost. Moreover, because this type of energy is a renewable resource, there is no need to save it. Therefore, it has become one of the most commonly used energy sources.

In areas with large reserves of thermal energy, not only are water and electricity bills generally several times cheaper than in other areas, but the economy has also been greatly developed as a result.

Nancy Sheng remembered that before she died, she had read a news report about a developed country with thermal energy that had achieved the goal of using thermal energy to heat the entire city.

Even the outdoor sidewalks are equipped with heaters! On sunny days, the whole city is several degrees warmer than outside!

If it is really as Xiao Tai described, then this Tangyuan County is like a treasure that people in the modern world are flocking to. It has a large amount of heat resources and does not have to endure the disasters brought by frequent earthquakes? !

Sheng Nanxi became more and more excited as she thought about it, and suddenly she felt that the soup in the bowl didn't smell good anymore. She asked hurriedly:

"Can these places you mentioned include Nanyang County? My grandfather's home, that is."

"Xiao Xier misses her grandparents?" Gu Yuancheng obviously noticed her thoughts and continued.

“All counties near the Snow Ridge Basin have a large number of natural hot springs, and Nanyang County is no exception. However, because it is not located at a major transportation hub, few people go there for treatment, so it is not as famous as other counties.”

"And if we are in a hurry to get to the Dragon Swamp deep in the Snow Ridge Basin, we can get there the fastest by following the North Straight Road. If we want to go to Nanyang County, we have to take a detour and add a few more days to our journey."

"If you are in a hurry to go to that 'Peach Blossom Spring', we'd better do as we discussed before. Go to the 'Peach Blossom Spring' to settle down first, and then take grandpa and the others there later, right?"

Sheng Nanxi was indeed in a hurry to find the "Peach Blossom Spring", so she asked everyone to rush north.

But plans don’t change as fast as they seem!

Since they sent so many experts but still couldn't find the exact location of the Peach Blossom Spring, it means there is some big variable there.

Instead of taking the whole family on an adventure, it would be better to find a place to settle down first. After that, she and Xiao Cheng went to the Dragon Swamp to find out more.

Sheng Nanxi remembered that the original book did mention that due to the special climate of Xueling Basin, even when extreme cold came later, it was still a little warmer than outside, and the number of casualties among the people was also less than in other areas.

She possesses metal and silk abilities, and construction projects that are extremely difficult for ordinary people are just a piece of cake for her.

If she went to Nanyang County first and organized everyone to make rational use of the endless supply of thermal energy, she could not only protect her whole family, but also save more innocent people.

And Xiao Tai also said that Nanyang County has a congested transportation system, and few people have time to go there. Wouldn't it be convenient for them to do something there quietly? !

After all, the original book only contains a few sentences about the "Peach Blossom Spring". It says that after several years of extremely cold weather, the outside world was full of starving people. Suddenly, a group of people in simple clothes appeared and donated a lot of food to everyone.

The other party claimed that he lived in an isolated valley, which was affected by the extremely cold weather due to its special appearance. Later, a kind-hearted writer spread the word by word of mouth and named the place "Taohuayuan".

As for what exactly is going on there...

Did the indigenous people occupy the entire territory, or did they only open up a small part, leaving the remaining unowned land for others to develop?

Or is it that there is a mysterious little country inside that does not communicate with outsiders, and as long as the local government is given enough benefits, it can be settled smoothly?

She was completely in the dark about these issues and knew nothing.

So… instead of rushing to find the mysterious Peach Blossom Spring, it would be better to stay at my grandmother’s house first and renovate it to make it more suitable for living.

Even if we can't catch up with the unique scenery of Taohuayuan, the family can still live much more comfortably in the face of extremely cold weather.

Sheng Nanxi figured it out and stopped hesitating. She immediately slid off Xiao Dongtai's body, ran to the fifth brother, and tugged at his clothes.

"Fifth brother, let's change our route. There's no need to rush to the Dragon Swamp. Let's stay at grandpa's house for a few days first!"
