For facilities or buildings like Farms that have been looted or destroyed, the remedies in Civilization VI are usually very straightforward.
That is to use [Builder] to select the "Repair" command, and the damaged improved facilities will be restored to their original state immediately.
This means that even if certain key facilities are damaged in the war, as long as there are enough [Builders] on hand, all losses can be quickly repaired and the city's production capacity can be restored.
And in today's Holy Egypt, repairing this damaged [Farm] will take more than just time.
For example, to bring a burned field of crops back to life, you first need to clean up the scorched earth, then transport a large amount of new soil to fill the gap, and then purchase high-quality seeds for replanting.
At the same time, the water source may be contaminated by the fire, so the water used for irrigation needs to be replaced.
Then, broken farm tools and storage facilities had to be rebuilt, requiring skilled blacksmiths to provide metal parts, and carpenters to repair or redo field huts and fences...
Each of these tasks requires human effort to coordinate, move, and execute.
In addition, money needs to be spent on purchasing materials, paying craftsmen, and even arranging daily meals for the workers.
The whole process can take as little as a week or as long as several months!
Moreover, judging from the current situation in Holy Egypt, food is almost the number one resource.
During this period, farmland that does not produce any output may cause some people to go hungry.
If there is bad weather or a shortage of manpower, the recovery time will be even longer.
However, in the civilization panel, Lin Ke only needs to send a [Builder] and click the "Repair" command. In just a few seconds, the damaged facilities or buildings can be restored to their original state.
No need to transport materials, no need to hire craftsmen, no need to spend huge amounts of money!
This convenience is unmatched by any other resources in Holy Egypt.
The next morning, Kamul started to get busy early.
He carefully inspected every street and alley, marked several potential risk areas in Cairo, and even drew a detailed investigation map by hand.
His plan was even precise enough to detail the assignment of each soldier: who would patrol where, who would guard which checkpoint, and who would be responsible for supporting emergencies.
Kamul arranged everything in an orderly manner, even the soldiers' rest time and replacement personnel were clearly marked.
But even so, Kamul's expression still looked solemn.
"How's the cleanup going on over there?"
He asked a soldier who had spent the entire night cleaning up the scorched earth.
"Reporting to the lord, we sent people to clean up the remaining scorched earth last night, but the land is still difficult to recover." The soldier replied respectfully.
"What about the burned areas? Have you found suitable soil for replanting?" Kamul continued to ask.
"Not yet. The land was damaged too badly. All the original fertile soil was burnt. New fertilizers and seeds are needed to restore it." There was a hint of embarrassment in the soldier's tone.
"Keep sending people to look for him. We must not disappoint Saint Pharaoh's expectations of us."
He decided to oversee the restoration work himself, but soon discovered that the resources required to repair such a farm were simply daunting.
First, the soil.
[The farm] uses extremely fertile soil, which can almost only be found in the wetlands of the Nile River.
The second is water source.
After a round of inspection, Kamul discovered that the farm's water channel had been polluted by the fire. Purifying the water and redirecting it would require a large amount of engineering equipment and manpower.
In addition, the special wooden stakes and irrigation troughs used to hold the ridges in place also developed cracks due to the high temperatures.
This special wood can only be found in the far south. Even if Kamul puts all his national strength into it, he cannot mobilize enough of it in a short period of time.
Even more troublesome are the seeds.
These grain seeds are all extremely high-quality varieties, but the seeds in the bank have long been sold out.
Kamul sent people to inquire everywhere, but it turned out that no caravan had enough stock.
Even if he managed to buy it from another town, it would take at least several weeks.
Moreover, the seeds were expensive and difficult to transport. Kamul's men shook their heads, saying that the task was simply impossible to accomplish.
When Kamul thought of the charred land, he was filled with guilt.
The images in his mind, those barren fields and broken canals, seemed to be silently accusing him of his incompetence.
He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his palms.
He felt that he had failed the Saint Pharaoh's expectations again, and as he thought about it, his body began to tremble slightly.
"What should I do? Am I going to disappoint Saint Pharaoh again..."
Kamul murmured softly.
Seeing that the repair work had made no progress, Kamul began to consider another possibility: if he died as an atonement, perhaps he could save the Holy Pharaoh's face a little.
Just as he was about to go back and ask for punishment, a soldier hurried over.
"Mr. Prime Minister, the burned farmland... has been repaired!"
Kamul was stunned, and the guilt on his face was instantly replaced by disbelief.
"What did you say? It's been repaired?" His voice rose several tones in shock.
"Yes, Prime Minister. I saw with my own eyes that the farmland has been restored to its original state. The ridges have been rearranged neatly, the irrigation troughs have been repaired, and the water in the canals is flowing very clear. It's as if the fire had never happened."
