The correct way to open the elf

Chapter 364 Desert Railway
The Chinese pine trees along the Snow Peak Mountains have almost been cut down. Now, as you go down the Lengshui River, the originally lush coniferous forests of the Snow Peak Mountains on the west bank have turned into bare tree stumps.

However, it was these woods that accelerated the development of Cattail City. As the amount of wood required in the construction field of Cattail City became smaller and smaller, these woods found new applications, that is, railroad sleepers.

As more sand people joined and the population of Cattail City grew again, more workers were put into the desert railway line.

With construction at both ends, they were finally successfully connected and the overall construction was completed, becoming the second railway line in the Green World, the Cattail City to Golden City railway line.

Thanks to the flat terrain of the wilderness and the desert coastal areas, the construction of the railway in Cattail City could be completed so quickly.

After the test, the oil tanker train set off from Cattail City and headed all the way to Golden City.

Following the oil train was the material train, which also had flatbed carriages carrying the Jiaolu armored vehicles and engineering machinery assigned to Golden City to support the defense and construction of Golden City.

Due to the threat of plane wars and the threat of sea-dwelling fishmen, the train to the Golden City has armored carriages at the front and rear to defend against possible dangers.

"The supply of oil is finally entering an era of abundant supply." Feng Yu muttered quietly as he watched the departing special train.

Illya said to Feng Yu, "Teacher, I think our locomotives and power plants should not all be equipped with fuel equipment. Golden City is too far away from us. If something happens there, it may cause our Xiangpu City to stop operating."

"Of course, there is no need for the power plant to install oil-fired power generation equipment. The flint ore reserves in the Great Wilderness are so large, and our workers are familiar with thermal power, so there is no need to build a new oil-fired power plant.

Even if it is to be built in the future, it must be built in Golden City, and transmission lines must be built to directly transmit electricity back to Xiangpu City.

But there should be no need for that. After all, the power generation capacity of Cattail City can still meet the demand.

What is important are trains and warships. These things are too slow to start with steam power. It is okay in normal times, but in wartime, there is no time to react to any emergencies.

Moreover, we are not dismantling steam-powered locomotives and steam battleships right now, but sealing them together with the weapons so that they can be used in emergencies when needed.”

Illya nodded and said: "The newly built refinery has passed the test. As soon as the oil train comes back, we can start refining the oil.

Teacher, is the civilian vehicle project temporarily closed?"

"Well, first we will produce more Horned Deer armored vehicles and earth-moving trucks, double our planned mobile force, and then produce more as spare replacements.

We have to start with the hydropower super project. Many future scientific research projects will be large consumers of electricity, and they cannot be carried out without super hydropower stations.

As for the Dwarf Kingdom, let's choose a place around their flint mine to build a thermal power plant. They don't need much electricity anyway, so a small one will do.

And letting them build and use it themselves can also save us some workers.”

Illya asked, "Aren't there enough trucks now?"

Feng Yu thought for a moment and said, "It's a little too little. It would be enough if we just changed the people but not the vehicles. But the performance of these vehicles is unstable now. I'm afraid they won't be able to withstand long-term continuous use. So it's better to produce more for rotation use and maintenance."

"What about the Misty Moon Forest?"

"Have we recruited enough elf warriors?"

"It's almost done. King Minai has transferred some soldiers to us, but I have broken them up and assigned them to different teams."

"Then let them do the rest. Anyway, we have the wilderness railway and shipping, and we are also capable of quickly transferring the elves there. When the time comes, we will be able to make better arrangements."

Two months later, on the morning, a huge convoy of trucks drove out of Cattail City and entered the Great Wasteland along the road east of Cattail City.

Feng Yu drove the car with Nicole leading the way. Behind him followed several newly produced improved jeeps. The entire convoy stopped in the vast wasteland east of the industrial zone.

At this time, a lot of wooden poles have been nailed on the vast wasteland as markings, and a lot of large machinery has also arrived.

"We're here, everyone get out. This is where we'll get soil for the Lengshui River diversion project." Feng Yu helped Nicole get out of the car and asked everyone else to get out.

Bo Rui looked at the wooden pole nailed to the wilderness and said, "Is there a limit for digging?"

Feng Yu waved his hand and drove the truck into the soil extraction operation area. He turned around and said, "Of course there is a range."

He led everyone to a newly built fortress here, pointed to the wooden pole markings on the wasteland and said: "Look, the range of the wooden pole is the range where we will take the soil.

The range starts from the fort in the east and extends in a northwest direction.

After the earthwork is completed, an arc-shaped deep pit about 100 meters wide will be dug all the way to the fortress near the wilderness railway line, with an average depth of about ten meters.

We all know that the wells we dug in the wilderness are about fifteen meters away from the water surface to the wellhead. Digging ten meters to get soil will not produce water relative to the groundwater level fifteen meters deep, and it will not affect our soil excavation project.

Once the Lengshui River diversion project is completed and the water level of the Lengshui River rises, it will inevitably cause the overall groundwater level in the Great Wilderness to rise.

The arc-shaped trench we dug out by taking soil will become a pond with steep banks, and become a moat in the southeast direction of Xiangpu City. This is why we have to come all the way here to take soil.

As for the soil excavation on the edge of the alluvial plain in the Great Wasteland, it was a small project, just to shape the large earth slope, shovel away the excess soil, and then reinforce it with a wall made of bricks and stone powder to build it into a natural city wall. "

"It's so far to dig, how long will it take to finish?"

"It's fast. The key is the earthwork, which has been fully mechanized. You will see it later."

In the eyes of these Green natives, taking soil is nothing more than digging with tools such as pickaxes, and then carrying it away in baskets. Even though they know about vehicles, they still haven't gotten rid of the concept of digging soil with tools such as pickaxes.

The loader driver was not yet skilled, but even so, he was able to complete the loading of a truckload of soil after several attempts.

The fully loaded truck slowly drove out of the earth-moving operation area, passed by the fortress where Feng Yu and others were standing, and drove back towards the direction of Xiangpu City.

This was not the reason why everyone was surprised. What surprised everyone was that there were dozens of these machines that could easily shovel a large shovel of soil on the ground and then dump it onto a truck.
