Chapter 264: Opening Mountains and Expanding Water
The northern district of the new town is Changpai Village, now called Changpai District. About ten kilometers further north is Tianjiang.
As the saying goes, live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water. If you are close to Tianjiang, how can you not eat from Tianjiang?
In fact, the residents of the new town had already thought of this solution.
However, there is a reason why there are so few people fishing in Tianjiang, such a big river from top to bottom.
The Tianjiang River flows very fast, the river surface is too wide, the river water is sandy, and the river bottom is too deep. Most fish live in the river and on the river bottom. Small-scale fishing is inefficient, and large-scale fishing requires deep nets, which requires too much investment and is easy to lose money.
Therefore, although Tianjiang River is rich in fish resources, no one has ever done anything about it.
The residents of the new town also tried it, but they could only fish on the shore, which was not very efficient. More than 30 people caught less than 100 kilograms of fish a day, an average of a little more than 3 kilograms per person.
The main problem is that the water flow is too fast, which greatly increases the cost of fishing, making it a high-risk, low-return, or even negative-return activity.
But for Lin Wen, it was not a difficult problem to solve.
What should I do if the water flow is too fast?
Widen the river!
The other side of Tianjiang is close to the Yunxiao Mountains. Can't I just go over there and blow up the mountain?
Wouldn't that make the waterway wider? Wouldn't the current be slower? Wouldn't the fish gather there?
Aren’t all the fish in the entire river mine?
Changshan County just happens to be short of food, so the food will come soon, right?
One answer directly addresses both questions.
Asking questions is indeed an art.
"Ahahahaha! I got it!"
Lin Wen laughed loudly, jumped up, met Ji Fuxiao's hopeful eyes, and lived up to everyone's expectations by speaking of a solution that no one could understand.
"Establish Tianjiang Fishery Company and Changshan County Social Food Factory."
"I'm determined to catch the fish in Tianjiang! Even the gods can't save it! I'm telling you!"
There were some ignorant people who raised objections.
"It's not appropriate, County Chief Lin..."
"Stop talking nonsense and get to work!"
"It's all part of the plan!"
Although most people could not understand it, County Chief Lin’s order was the highest order, and the bureaucratic machine of Changshan County still started to operate at high speed.
After being repaired, modified and oiled by Xia Xiaoxiang, the machine became very smooth.
Qin Luoshuang, holding a large hammer, made it very quiet, and the machine's central numerical control computer was extremely efficient and could fully drive its huge components.
Lin Wen is the unscrupulous capitalist who rules this machine. He only cares about giving orders and enjoying the results.
But sometimes, he was like a brave and fearless worker, charging forward and smashing anything that dared to stand in their way.
These two completely contradictory identities make Lin Wen's figure hazy and blurred, and even the people closest to him cannot see his true face.
Although Qin Luoshuang supported any of Lin Wen's plans, she was not sure about it.
Xiao Xiao and others were even more worried.
Only Ji Fuxiao was full of unconditional trust in Lin Wen. She had experienced the entire process of disaster relief and witnessed everything Lin Wen did with her own eyes. She firmly believed that this man could create any miracle.
"Great! As expected of County Chief Lin... Woohoo, I should have come to see you sooner..."
She wiped her tears, thinking she had found a savior.
While everyone was busy, Lin Wen was not idle either.
He ordered Qin Luoshuang to borrow a hundred mortars from Fang Dashan, and to blast open the Yunxiao Mountains tomorrow and smash the huge rocks that blocked the development of Changshan County.
Although Qin Luoshuang carried out the order, she still told him a terrible truth:
"The Tianjiang River is two kilometers wide. To reduce its flow to a reasonable level, we need to widen it by at least one kilometer. This means we need to blast a hole at least one kilometer deep in the Yunxiao Mountains. If we want to fish, we need to blast a hole at least one kilometer deep. Furthermore, the water depth near Changpai Village is quite deep, over fifty meters, so we need to blast the mountain fifty meters underwater as well."
"A mountain one kilometer long, one kilometer deep, fifty meters underwater, and entirely rocky, we estimate it will require at least 100,000 shells."
Lin Wen smiled slightly.
"You're too shallow, Fengchu. What's one kilometer and fifty meters? I want it to be big and thick. Three kilometers is the starting point. Don't think it's too much. If I'm not happy and have some free time in the future, I'll come and open up the mountain again."
"This is Changshan County's fishing ground, a one-of-a-kind fishing ground!"
After saying this, he turned and left. In the darkness of the night, he rode his beloved little motorcycle and sped away.
Qin Luoshuang inexplicably gained some confidence and went back to prepare the cannons.
Xiao Xiao and Lei Tiantong were responsible for building the structures of the two companies. This was another enterprise directly under the Changshan County Government Office, and was entirely managed by the Planning Bureau.
The Imperial Assets Management Office is now a subordinate department of the Planning Bureau, and all official enterprises are under its jurisdiction.
Ji Fuxiao and Xiao Li excitedly returned to the new town to organize people.
Old Xie started making big purchases again. According to Lin Wen's instructions, he needed to urgently purchase large fishing boats, fishing tools, various related supporting facilities, and all assembly lines for processing fish products.
The mayors of each town have also gone back to do mobilization work. They will decide whether to join Tianjiang Fishery Company or Changshan County Social Food Factory based on their geographical location.
——
Lin Wen rode his motorcycle at full speed in the night. Once he activated [Snatch of the Clever Cat] and [Blind and Clear], he never let up on the accelerator. On the rugged mountain road, the motorcycle almost flew like an airplane.
A moment later, Lin Wen returned to the familiar foot of the Changpai Village embankment.
He climbed up the levee and looked out. In the night, the Tianjiang River seemed like a demon pouncing on its prey.
The water was surging on the two-kilometer-wide river, and on the opposite side was a cliff towering into the clouds, which looked like a huge and terrifying creature in the dark night.
Lin Wen laughed loudly and jumped into the river.
【Fish and Water Harmony】
Lin Wen sank rapidly to the bottom of the water. The turbid river water and darkness did not cause him any disturbance. The violent current slid past him like the caress of a lover.
Sure enough, the water flow in the lower layer is slower than that in the upper layer.
Lin Wen looked around.
We did find quite a few fish. They were large in size and swam freely in the water. When they got tired, they would lie down in the mud and sand.
Lin Wen reached out and caught a silverfish that weighed at least three pounds. The big guy struggled frantically in his hand, but could not escape Lin Wen's control.
After observing carefully for a while, Lin Wen let go, and the big guy disappeared with a flick of its tail.
Lin Wen sank to the bottom of the river and stomped his feet hard, startling more than a dozen big fish out of the mud and sand. It was estimated that each of them weighed more than three pounds.
good.
It seems that Tianjiang is still in its original ecological environment and has not been developed at all.
If only my family and I were fishing, it shouldn't damage the ecology.
Lin Wen kicked his legs and swam quickly over a distance of two thousand meters, touching the stone wall at the bottom of the river.
Above is the Yunxiao Mountains that blocks the entire northern part of Changshan County. With an average height of more than 1,500 meters and a total length of more than 1,200 kilometers, it is the second largest mountain range in the empire.
Today, we are going to bleed this second largest mountain range.
Lin Wen leaned over, placed his hands on the bottom of the mountain, and activated [Fossil to Soil].
The invisible green light swept across like a guillotine, turning all the rocks it encountered into soil.
The river water broke through the soil and seeped into the bottom of the mountain. A large number of bubbles emerged from the bottom of the water and were instantly washed away by the rapids.
After using a spell, Lin Wen cut a semicircular incision with a radius of 62 meters at the bottom of the mountain. The height of the incision was 0.5 meters, turning a total of more than 3,000 cubic meters of stone into soil.
He still has 99% of his soul left. After a short rest, he can use 4 spells. Each spell has a volume of more than 3,000 cubic meters. According to the volume formula of a semi-cylinder, he can only cut a semicircle with a radius of 145 meters at most.
Compared with the three kilometers long and wide breach he calculated, it was definitely not enough.
Therefore, the next four spells cannot cut circles, but can only cut lines, just like constructing a building complex on a mountain, cutting the entire mountain's foundation like tofu.
4 spells, totaling more than 12,000 cubic meters. Lin Wen cut more than 600 crisscrossing lines. The entire bottom of the mountain was full of big holes, as if it had been dug by countless moles.
But unfortunately, the mountain is still relatively solid and no landslides or collapses occurred.
We can only wait for the cannon.
Lin Wen swam back to the shore and took a nap beside the levee.
Not long after the sun rose, Qin Luoshuang dragged Fang Dashan's cannons over. One hundred mortars were lined up on the embankment, giving a feeling of rustling autumn wind and cannons lined up on the battlefield.
This dike has been reinforced by Lin Wen, so there is no need to worry that the vibration from the artillery fire will affect the dike.
When Fang Dashan heard that Lin Wen was going to use artillery to open up the mountain, he took the opportunity to send all the new recruits over.
This is a rare opportunity to train troops.
Before firing, Qin Luoshuang came over again to confirm with Lin Wen.
"Although we captured a lot of mortars, we had very little ammunition, only about 3,000 rounds in total. There's no way to buy these special shells, so once we use them up, they'll be gone."
"fire."
Lin Wen only said two words briefly.
Qin Luoshuang stopped talking nonsense and ordered the artillery to fire.
A moment later, one hundred mortars fired at the same time, and a huge roar resounded across the river. The 110mm shells hit the cliff 2,000 meters away, causing a huge explosion.
Debris flew everywhere, rock walls collapsed, and huge rocks fell into the river, splashing waves dozens of meters high.
But once the smoke cleared, the seemingly roaring scene did not cause much damage to the towering behemoth.
Qin Luoshuang looked at Lin Wen with a questioning look.
Lin Wen only gave her one answer: "Keep fighting."
Then, the second, third, and fourth rounds of artillery fire followed one after another. By the time the fifth round of artillery fire ended, even those who had the most confidence in County Governor Lin could not help but feel disappointed.
Five rounds of artillery fire, five hundred rounds of heavy artillery, hitting the mountain wall, seemed to have only caused a few scratches to the giant.
When Lin Wen ordered the sixth round of artillery fire, some officials couldn't help but shout, "Stop firing! This is a waste of ammunition."
On the contrary, Qin Luoshuang, who had always been skeptical, ordered to open fire again without hesitation.
boom!
Another hundred shells fell on the mountain wall, and this time the bombardment caused a different effect.
The entire mountain wall began to collapse, the cracks expanded rapidly, and with lightning speed, it triggered a landslide.
The collapse expanded rapidly and triggered a chain reaction. Countless huge rocks fell from the sky and crashed into the river. The splashing waves almost covered the sky. Even the people standing on the levee two kilometers away could feel the water splashing on their faces.
The collapse lasted for more than ten minutes. When the water splashed down, the people who were already soaked like drowned rats saw that there was a big hole in the middle of the towering and motionless Yunxiao Mountains, and the river water was rushing in.
Hundreds of officers and soldiers on the dike applauded, and one man excitedly shouted, "Chief Lin, let's continue the bombardment!"
"That's right, blow the hell out of it!"
However, at this time, Lin Wen gave the order to call it a day.
"Come back tomorrow."
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing why.
——
The location of the food factory was quickly decided. After considering various factors, it was chosen in the northern district of Xinzhen, on a piece of vacant land only about 1,000 meters away from Tianjiang.
Lin Wen did not ask Zhao Gongming to send workers to build the factory. Instead, he directly hired 300,000 townspeople from Xinzhen to build this large factory of sexual socialism.
30 yuan a day, food is included but accommodation is not.
It is exactly the same as the disaster relief work, even the division of labor is ready, young and middle-aged people go to the construction site, and women do logistics.
But the work was simpler than before. Lin Wen specifically instructed that there was no need to lay the foundation, only dig drainage holes, leave pipelines, and build the factory building with mud.
The construction site was once again bustling with activity, and when Lin Wen arrived, cheers echoed throughout the wilderness.
Just like in the past when they rebuilt their homes, Lin Wen took the lead in the work.
When the familiar call sounded, everyone's eyes were filled with tears, as if they had returned to the passionate days when they built their home together.
Ji Fuxiao and Xiao Li were in tears. With the sound of uniform shouts, they also joined the activity of moving bricks.
As night falls and the evening breeze blows, hot meals are served again and loud singing sounds again.
Many people feel like they are dreaming, and in a trance, it seems that a period of time is missing in between.
It was not until Lin Wen announced through a loudspeaker that everyone would be given jobs after the Changshan County Food Factory was completed that they realized that this was new history.
Last time, it was for their new home.
And this time, it's for their future.
——
Late at night, after Lin Wen took a short nap, his spirit recovered a little.
He used [Fish and Water Harmony] again and jumped into the river. The bottom of the river was covered with large rocks.
A large crater with a radius of more than 100 meters was blown out in the Yunxiao Mountains.
But the mountain is much stronger than he imagined, and he needs to put in more effort to achieve his goal.
Lin Wen went ashore and carried down the underwater explosives that he had prepared earlier. He stuffed them evenly into the gaps cut by the magic and then detonated the explosives to shake the mountain.
The explosions continued throughout the night.
daytime.
The shelling continued, and this time a new wave of recruits came in. Fang Dashan used this as a means of rotation training.
