But flood storage areas are necessary.

Leaving the problem alone will not make it go away, it will only pile up and lead to the next major outbreak.

Louis stretched out his hand and shook hands with Beatrice:

"It's okay. Once the observatory is established, we and Tunisia will build a digital model of the country's rivers, and things will be much better."

In the past, our own water conservancy workers have been trying to establish a digital model of rivers across the country to control rainfall, floods, and reservoir scheduling.

But the relevant data was too difficult to collect, and it was still a semi-finished product when he was reborn.

However, in the Star Continent, such observations are easier to accomplish.

The Star Mage is a profession that has basic night-time celestial observation capabilities in the early stages and can be described as a living astronomical observation device.

Ordinary mages and even some sage swords can also do the job.

When the number of grassroots mages increases, the observation platform system formed by them will be able to prevent and respond to disasters in advance and build an iron wall for Enther.

This is a replica of work-for-relief.

Moreover, the invested money can be circulated quickly because it is local.

Only liquid funds count as funds.

This will not only open up a new job market, but also drive the long-term development of the mage group.

When war comes, the mages will receive a little training and will soon be able to participate in several future major disasters.

This is the best solution Louis can think of these days.

“Once the giant river is halfway through its management, the diversion project can start.”

Beatrice smiled and said, "Don't worry about me too much. I'm not that fragile."

Louis nodded. The diversion project is another project alongside the Great River Project.

To be precise, the diversion project is actually the practical application of the giant river project.

In this era where the logistics system is extremely backward except for the teleportation array, most cities can only be built relying on rivers and oceans.

While the banks of the great river suffered from flooding, another area of ​​the Unther Empire was in a situation where there was no water available.

Tunisia has a steel city that produces a lot of steel.

Unther's largest iron ore production base is located in the Ash Fields on the other side of the Smoking Mountains.

The city of Ryan and the surrounding cities in the Ashfield once surrounded the capital of the former Unther Empire.

The continuous mining of iron ore and coal and shipping to all parts of the country causes the city's sky to be covered with gray clouds all year round.

In addition, steelmaking requires a large amount of water, which gradually put the city into trouble.

Especially in recent years, the groundwater in Ryan City has become increasingly difficult to exploit. At the worst time, it even caused the steel industry to stagnate.

Beatrice looked at the map for a long time before closing it: "The diversion project is imperative. The Star Continent has become increasingly chaotic over the years. I smell the smoke of war."

"Steel production cannot be stopped for a moment. Even if there is a backlog of inventory, we must ensure the use of steel during the war. I hope the diversion project can alleviate the troubles in Ryan City."

"After the trip to Tunisia, we will not return to Tino City first, but will go to Ryan City instead."

"I want to go and see for myself where the hanging river you mentioned is."

Louis nodded.

The city of Ryan is one of the cities with the most serious water shortage in the entire Unther. In order to obtain water, they built a large ditch on the other side of the Smoking Mountains.

A ditch blocked the accumulated water falling from the Smoking Mountains, and the citizens of Ryan City dug out this artificial river that is 140 miles long and surrounds most of the Smoking Mountains.

There are many similar artificial rivers in the Enther Empire.

Their mission is to break the extremely unbalanced water resources and reorganize the distribution into a new pattern.

The three great empires of mankind, or the old countries on the Star Continent, have never lacked such man-made wonders.

Louis couldn't help but sigh: "To recreate rivers means we have to fight against the punishment of nature."

"If the purpose of the Great River Project is to prevent floods and expand the job market for mages, then the purpose of the Diversion Project is to build the largest inter-basin water diversion project on the Star Continent."

"Unlike observation, we need a large number of mages who can master [Convert Fossil to Mud] and [Convert Mud to Stone]. The number required is extremely large."

"This line alone can provide a reliable career for low-level mages for a long time."

Olivia thought for a moment, and quickly locked onto the relevant spells:

"Fossils turn to mud and mud turns to stone?"

Louis nodded.

To be more precise, it should be [Transformation Rock].

[Transform Rock] is a 5th-level spell of the Transmutation system. It can select no more than 40 cubic meters and reshape the rock concrete in the area.

The effect is divided into two directions.

One is that fossils turn into mud.

All nonmagical stones are transformed into a thin, flowable mud after the spell takes effect.

The second is to turn mud into stone.

Transforms nonmagical dirt or quicksand into stone.

Of course, Transmuting Rock is a fifth-ring spell, which requires a very high-level mage.

Little Swan said: "Although the tactical effect of transforming rocks is not that high, this spell has gradually developed from a 1st-ring spell to the current 5th-ring spell."

The development of magic is not a one-day job.

The effect and range of rock transformation are very large, but this spell has undergone multiple modifications by predecessors before becoming the five-ring spell it is today.

Weakened spells of levels 1-4 also have effects, the only difference is the coverage area and fineness.

This is not a disadvantage of this spell, on the contrary, it is an advantage.

As long as there are enough low-level mages involved, a little less precision won’t be a big problem.

——After all, we can let a stronger magician to check.

Olivia looked at him speechlessly and said:

"The number of spells a wizard can cast in a day is limited. Are you sure this can meet the needs of basic construction?"

"Don't end up being slower than a soldier moving bricks. That would be hilarious."

Louis raised a smile and said:

"I knew you would ask this question."

Louis snapped his fingers.

Suddenly, a silver plate on the dining table melted instantly.

Olivia looked towards Louis' pocket: "Rimuru?"

Louis nodded:

"I told you before that Rimuru's metal control can actually be divided into two stages."

The little swan nodded and said:

"The reason why you were able to rely on metal control to fight against the Exemplar class before was that you actually let Rimuru handle the process of 'melting metal into liquid' which consumes the most magic power."

"And you only need to reshape the molten metal into metal. This process consumes less magic power."

Louis nodded.

Metal control itself is also a type of transmutation magic.

So it was natural for him to apply this idea to other transformation magic.

"The process of 'changing' the water diversion project to create a qualified artificial canal requires the most mana."

"Shaping actually consumes more mental energy."

"So, we just need to put all the spells of other low-level mages into the transformation, and then leave the final shaping stage to the intermediate or even high-level mages..."

Olivia clapped her hands and laughed, "In this way, as long as we ensure the number of low-level mages, we can quickly build a complete industrial chain!"

Louis nodded.

Low-level mages have no skills, so they sell their magic power to make money.

The high-level wizard has the skills, so he sells his brainpower to shape his body.

Both parties get what they need.

The next moment, the silver liquid rolling on the table instantly solidified into the shape of a beautiful woman.

Beatrice took a look and saw that it was a metal statue of her.

Louis handed her statue to Beatrice, and the little swan looked sour.

"Can you show your affection just to the two of you?"

As soon as she said this, the two people who had done something shameful last night blushed instantly.

The little swan looked at the two of them in confusion.

Suddenly.

She felt her scalp tingling.

The scene of going to Louis' room last night and not seeing anyone came to my mind.

In a trance, she seemed to hear what Lumi said last night: "Your Highness, if you continue to act like this, Princess Beatrice will really be angry. They have something else to do today."

At this moment, the little swan was struck by lightning.

She is not a newbie who knows nothing.

I immediately thought that the two of them might have done something shameful last night.

She cried and said, "Sister Wang, did you two do it last night?"

These words coming from the little swan shocked the two of them instantly.

Damn it, who corrupted the innocent little swan?

Louis immediately put the blame on Black Swan.

It must be the Black Swan.jpg (Black Swan:???)

…

Somewhere on the Tunisian border.

Black Swan Olivia suddenly staggered, and a look of anger flashed across her face.

"What do you mean by that suspicious look?"

Black swan, angry.

...Because Louis was right, it was indeed she who did it.

…

Louis coughed and said seriously, "Nothing."

Fast forward to the point where using your mouth doesn’t count as sex.

Beatrice was a little embarrassed, but she quickly reacted and said, "It's not what you think."

At this moment, the engaged couple reached a tacit understanding.

They shouldn't be so shy.

But this man is a little swan.

The cute little face full of collagen is looking up at you, with an expression that looks like it is about to cry and says to you:

"Did you do it last night?"

That feeling is no less than when a loving couple is planning to weather the storm together, and their little daughter suddenly comes to your bedroom and knocks on the door.

That feeling...

hiss.

Going to die.

So both of them chose to tell a white lie.

They did not take the final step after all.

The little swan looked at the two men with half belief and half doubt, but seeing that their expressions were extremely firm, he reluctantly believed what they said.

Poor little swan doesn't understand how this world works.

The limited knowledge I have is also gained from books.

So I didn't know that there were other actions in this world besides giving birth to babies.

For a moment, I was actually fooled by their word game.

After a long while, Louis said to the little swan:

"The series of spells for transforming rocks has another benefit. The gradual progress helps mages master the operation of quickly building positions on the battlefield."

Not to mention the few things, abilities such as battlefield generation, shield manufacturing, and rapid house construction are completely achievable after long-term training.

Whether it is clearing wasteland in the wild or fighting on the battlefield.

Or returning to your original intention and continuing to engage in infrastructure construction are both good career options.

In the past, there was the Konoha Yamato Wood Release: Three Rooms and One Hall Technique.

Later, Master Enser developed the technique of earth escape and formation.

That makes sense.

Normally, since mages have to learn a lot of spells, many people who are not talented enough are often not sophisticated enough in the use of related spells.

But now, at least the method is certain. In order to make more money, these mages will probably be able to make full use of the magic of transforming rocks after the plan is launched.

"Use the power of magic to reshape the rivers and create new rivers in this ancient land?"

This is a long-term plan.

In the end, perhaps a group of top talents specializing in infrastructure construction will be cultivated for the empire.

Just imagine that wherever you go, a large army of spellcasters will quickly appear with high-density city walls...

In a way, it's like a mobile war fortress.

It’s quite exciting to think about it.

…

afternoon.

Beatrice needs to go to a final meeting with the Tunisian upper class.

At this time, Louis finally remembered that he still had some things to handle through Mayer's identity.

He smacked his lips, an expression of enjoying the taste buds appeared on his face.

In fact, he was far from satisfied last night.

This may be the trouble brought by the bloodline he carries.

It was just that in the afternoon, not long after he put on the mask, something unexpected happened.

Louis stared blankly at Sean and Fafner who appeared in front of him, and a question mark slowly appeared in his head.

"Why are you here?"

The male dragon Sean snorted, his nostrils flaring slightly as he said, "There is no place in the world I can't go. Ah, Fafner, you stepped on me again!"

The female dragon Fafna covered her head with a headache and said, "Don't worry about what he says. We came here specifically to find you."

"ah?"

Louis was confused: "Did something happen that required me to handle it?"

Sean scraped his foot against the floor unhappily.

He doesn't like to take human form.

This feeling was too restrictive for him.

Fafna glared at him, then said helplessly, "Actually, Sean was worried that something might happen to you in Tunisia, so he came to take a look."

Louis looked at Sean in surprise.

Sean turned his head aside and snorted coldly:

"You believe her nonsense?"

Louis nodded: "I believe that Mr. Sean and Ms. Fafner are good people."

"I am not a human being."

Sean said this with an awkward expression on his face.

Louis wanted to yell at him and tell him that Tsundere had withdrawn from the market.

But before he could finish his words, he couldn't help but smile: "Anyway, welcome back."

The two nodded.

He thought for a moment, and a sly smile appeared on his face:

"I have something to negotiate with merchants from Tunisia and the Am Empire today. Would you two like to come with me?"

The two looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

If Louis wants to borrow their prestige, then let him do so.

They could tell at a glance that Louis was a little dragon.

It's normal for a dragon cub of this age to have some concerns.

After all, dragons are full of treasures from head to toe.

But it is not easy for adult dragons to hunt, and there is a high possibility of many deaths.

But the young dragons are different.

They couldn't guarantee that others would be so bold as to attack Meyer directly.

In fact, they arrived in this city yesterday.

After returning from the Dragon Empire, they first abided by the agreement and returned to Tino City to wait.

But it took a long time for Louis and his group to come back.

So after some investigation, we found out that they were going to another country to attend an important meeting.

The male dragon Sean said with dissatisfaction: "Leave as soon as you can. I don't like Tunisia."

Fafna explained: "Because this will remind him of the unlucky guy who had his vital organs crushed by the battle mage.

Sean's mouth twitched slightly:

"Besides, the Battle Mage isn't that strong. He'd still be easily beaten if he faced the Dragon King."

Fafnir continued, "The implication is that he will not be protected here. Some people in the Battle Mage Academy cannot defeat the Dragon King, but they cannot defeat him?"

Sean's face began to show a painful expression.

He doesn't want to talk anymore.

But Fafner continued, "Sean is angry because I'm telling the truth."

Sean was so angry that he jumped up and down:

"Favrna, why are you destroying my show again?"

Fafner snorted lightly, holding her face and said:

"Because seeing you so anxious, I feel happy all of a sudden!"

"I am not your toy!"

"Um?"

"…I am your sweetheart. If anyone dares to say I am a toy, I will beat him!"

Louis looked on in amazement.

This guy Sean is a man who can bend and stretch.

Louis suddenly remembered something.

That was something that someone mentioned during the Jade Phoenix Alliance's previous online gathering.

He looked at the two dragons and said:

"I am the Jade Phoenix Mage of this generation. When I attended a private meeting of the Jade Phoenix Alliance, another Jade Phoenix Mage entrusted me to say something."

"He hopes that you two can return to your country, to the Dragon Empire."

The two dragons shook their heads and said, "No matter what, there's no going back."

Louis nodded and said:

"Understood."

"Since we're here, would you two like to join me in attending today's merchandise exhibition?"

then.

One man and two dragons slowly came to another venue.

There is a trade fair-like venue here that is open to the public.

The main products exhibited this time come from Enser and Tunisia.

A small number of products come from the Empire of Am.

Louis took a quick look at the scene and quickly focused his attention on one product.

He waved to the staff around him and asked, "Where did you get that thing from?"

Louis's eyes were directed towards a vase that looked quite exquisite.

The shopping guide said:

"That was the cursed jade bottle we bought from the Kingdom of East Monet more than a decade ago."

"Legend has it that anyone who uses the bottle for a long time will fall into a long-lasting nightmare."

"You should be familiar with the Kingdom of Monet. They were cursed and eventually split into two."
