The people from the Volcano Tribe arrived at the right time.
When Chen Wangping arrived at the entrance of the town, he saw Xiao Fang and Xiao Yuan chatting energetically with the refugees next to them.
Only three of the ten cars were left. They were in tatters and covered in mud. It was obvious that their journey was not smooth.
After seeing Chen Wangping, Xiao Fang and Xiao Yuan walked over quickly.
Chen Wangping felt it and found that both of them had improved in strength. It seemed that they had not forgotten to practice during the journey. He patted their shoulders and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Is everyone here?"
Xiao Fang reported: "Of course everyone arrived safely. Although we encountered some problems along the way, we would rather lose the car than lose our faces. We lived up to expectations and finally everyone arrived safely."
Xiao Yuan scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "It's just that we haven't had enough supplies these past two days. Everyone has been hungry for two days."
Chen Wangping smiled and said, "It's okay. You won't have to worry about not having food when you get home. Go home first. I'll welcome you tonight."
At this time, Xiao Tieniu jumped out of the car and laughed, "Thank you very much, benefactor, benefactor, our Rocket Team has been busy this trip. I have been promoted to level three, and the others have all reached the peak of level two. I guarantee that we can keep up with the battle rhythm."
Chen Wangping nodded and said, "Well done. There are more enemies in the central area. This is a good opportunity for your Rockets to perform well."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Zhounan strode over and saluted Chen Wangping. "Good morning, Mayor. I was just about to report to you. The work-for-relief program you mentioned earlier is very effective. Most of the refugees have settled down, and many new homes have been built. I've also assigned the excess labor to the mines. However, a few troublemakers are unwilling to accept the work-for-relief program and are thinking of borrowing money to look for opportunities in Leilong City. They say they'll pay them back when they make money."
Chen Wangping shook his head and said, "We don't give credit here. If you don't want to stay, that's fine. Just dig for a few days and pay for your meal."
Fang Zhounan said with some embarrassment: "I understand what the mayor means, but those troublemakers are quite strong, and it's difficult for me to suppress them alone."
Chen Wangping smiled and patted Xiao Tieniu on the shoulder, then said to Fang Zhounan, "Mr. Fang, you are not alone now. Xiao Tieniu, I appoint you as the captain of the Fangshan Town Guard. You will be responsible for maintaining public security. Just bombard where necessary. Just do it. There will be no problem if you two cooperate." After that, he handed over a space device containing a hundred rockets.
Xiao Tieniu took the space device with both hands, took a look at the amount of things inside, and laughed twice. "The Rocket Team, follow me, Mr. Fang, tell me where the troublemaker is. I'm not Xiao if I don't beat him up and make him cough up the money."
When Mr. Fang saw that this team was well-equipped and had an impressive aura, he said happily, "This way, Captain Xiao, I'll lead the way." He thought to himself that he was not from a big family and came out to gain experience, but the guard team was so imposing and powerful.
Chen Wangping led the Volcano Tribe back to the base, where he had most of them eat and wash up. He then summoned Xiao Fang, Xiao Yuan, and Xiao Yu to the living room and gave them instructions. "Currently, the mineral resources in Fangshan Town are quite scattered. Xiao Yuan, take a team to monitor the coal mines. Xiao Fang, lead a patrol near the iron mines. Watch for insect attacks. If you encounter any, report back to me immediately. Do not attack. Xiao Yu, I'll arrange for you to have some feed machines. You and your women will be responsible for weaving and breeding these giant firebirds. Make sure you take good care of them."
The three of them agreed in unison. Xiao Fang then took out a soft, sponge-like object from the space device and said to Chen Wangping, "Brother Chen, this is something we stumbled upon on the road. The locals call it a water sponge. It can be used to find wells. Place it on the ground, and it will automatically run towards a suitable spot on the ground for digging a well."
Chen Wangping smiled and said, "It's so magical, why not try it now?"
"good."
Xiao Fang first took out a pile of water and threw the water sponge into it. After it absorbed the water and expanded, he walked out of the living room and put it on the ground.
The water sponge floated on the ground and swayed around. Perhaps because concrete was laid nearby, it circled the base and finally stopped on a piece of improved land in the northeast corner where there was no concrete. It jumped a few times on the spot and injected the water in its body into the ground. It gradually turned into its original dry state and looked a little silly.
Tang Xihe walked over and picked up the water sponge. He reached out and poked it gently, and found that the little thing seemed to have entered a dormant state and was motionless.
Chen Wangping stood on the wet ground and asked, "Can we just drill a hole here?"
Xiao Fang nodded and said, "I see that the locals do use it this way. In their native habitat, water sponges release water from their bodies and draw water from underground wells to restore themselves."
Chen Wangping chatted with Xiao Fang and the other two for a while, and asked them to go and rest. Tang Xihe would take them to familiarize themselves with the work location later.
Then he walked to the workbench and drew a simple well-digging machine based on the electric mining machine, ready to give it a try.
It would be better to dig a well as soon as possible to revive little Tiemu.
After an hour or so, the mining machine was built, and it started digging by aiming at the position marked by the water sponge.
The digging took two hours.
We dug until lunchtime.
Everyone in the Volcano Tribe was very happy. They were able to reach the central region smoothly and had a better living environment than before. This was indeed something to be happy about.
The dining table was filled with food, mostly from male chickens, ducks, and geese. They didn't grow many feathers and still needed to eat feed, so they might as well just eat it, which just made room for the flamingos to be raised.
Chen Wangping also ate and drank with everyone else, feeling very good. Finally, there were more people, and they were his own people who knew him well, which would make things easier in the future.
While we were eating, the drill bit of the well-drilling machine suddenly stopped, and then was pushed out by the water flow.
"Water has been dug out!"
"There's well water to drink!"
Chen Wangping arrived quickly and put away the well-digging machine. He immediately saw the water spraying all the way along the dug channel. The pressure was so high that it could spray two meters above the ground.
He took out the iron-struck wooden stick and threw it directly into the well.
The ironwood stick struck by lightning fell into the cave entrance and quickly expanded when it came into contact with water. In the blink of an eye, it turned from a stick into a small sapling. Then new buds grew on the branches, the trunk grew layer by layer, the white tender roots spread out in all directions, and the crown grew long and covered the surroundings.
Looking closely, the newly grown small ironwood tree is more imposing than before, and the growth of its branches and leaves is more reasonable.
After fully recovering, it lifted its roots and moved to another place, making way for the wellhead. It happily shook its crown and greeted Chen Wangping.
Chen Wangping smiled and said, "Long time no see."
