Our neighborhood has been transported again.

Chapter 340 Advanced Resources: River of Life
After the farmland evolves, the next step is to choose the building to evolve.

After much consideration, Qin Ziwen decided to put it aside for the time being.

The main problem is that the other ordinary buildings are either too low-level, unsuitable, or already have similar items.

While there aren't any suitable buildings, there are quite a few resource points.

Qin Ziwen led Jia Liangcai to the spring.

The spring in the homestead is currently at level 4, and it is mainly responsible for the production of freshwater within the homestead.

Several bamboo pipes were built next to the spring, from which water gushed forth. At the end of each pipe were several large wooden basins, and every now and then someone would come and take the water from the basins.

This has saved a lot of pressure on freshwater. Although other people in the community also have spring resources, their springs are mostly of low level, with the highest being only level 2.

Jia Liangcai said, "My lord, our homestead currently lacks mature seawater purification capabilities. If we upgrade it, we will lose the ability to produce freshwater."

Qin Ziwen remained silent, pondered for a long time, and decided to put it aside for the time being.

However, the advanced resource card "River of Life" obtained from the Red Cauldron Building can now be used.

Upon arriving at the newly expanded area, the required construction area for the River of Life was 1000*50m. Qin Ziwen directly drew a straight long path in the middle of this newly built blank area.

Like a canal running north to south, it divides this area in two.

Once the card is confirmed for use.

He could hear the sound of the river flowing.

The straight curtain of light stretched forward.

From where you stand to the horizon, it's exactly one kilometer.

When the light faded, a river fifty meters wide flowed slowly.

Just then, the small orb of light appeared in the home.

Qin Ziwen's expression shifted slightly. The previous occurrence of this situation was due to a linkage between certain buildings.

[Resource cards of the same series detected. Do you want to merge them?]

"Yes."

The words fell.

A streak of light, like a swimming fish, pierced the sky behind them and merged into the newly formed river at their feet.

At first, the river surface only showed a few unusual ripples.

Immediately afterwards, in the middle of the river, several hundred meters away from Qin Ziwen, the water surface silently rose up. Instead of being pushed aside, the water flowed as if lifted by an invisible hand, slowly forming the outline of a spring.

After a few seconds, it slowly subsided, and everything returned to calm.

[Integration complete: Level 4 springs have been incorporated into the "River of Life"]

[The River of Life gains a special effect: Endless Life]

[Advanced Resource - Level 1 River of Life: Level 2 River Eye, Level 2 River of Reproduction, Level 2 Ecological Hub] (Special Effects: ① Revitalize River Water: The water quality of the entire river is fundamentally improved, containing weak life energy. Long-term drinking can slowly improve physical condition, and irrigation can accelerate crop growth and slightly improve quality. ② Endless Regeneration: The river water has a strong self-purification and circulation ability; even if the downstream is polluted, the river water can be purified and restored.)
First, there's the river eye. Its effect is simple and similar to a spring, producing a continuous stream of fresh water without exceeding the river's limits, thus preventing the river from overflowing and flooding the surrounding land.

Although the river eye is only level 2, its water production rate far exceeds that of a level 4 spring.

Secondly, it serves as a breeding ground for aquatic animals, whether freshwater or seawater, as long as they are aquatic. This also reduces reproductive isolation between species and increases the chances of pregnancy.

The final ecological hub is a passive entity that covers the entire homeland.

Rivers, springs, and all types of buildings and resource points within your home will receive a permanent buff, creating a virtuous cycle of micro-ecosystems.

The higher the level of the ecological hub, the more significant the benefit effect.

As for the two special effects that follow.

Needless to say, the river water revitalizes the plants, which were already growing very quickly in the Garden of Rare Treasures. Irrigating them with river water would further accelerate their growth. With these combined effects, he couldn't even imagine how fast the crops would grow.

As for the continuous flow of life, it can be considered a safeguard for the river. With the development of industry and population in the community, even with control measures in place, the river will inevitably be affected to some extent as long as there is any trace of human activity.

This situation serves as a safety net.

Arriving at the riverbank, perhaps because the river is a straight line, the water surface was very calm.

But you can see the water flowing slowly from upstream to downstream.

Qin Ziwen took off his coat and jumped into the river.

The river water wasn't cold; it was much warmer than the sea.

I dived down and swam a distance before reaching the riverbed.

There is a shallow layer of silt at the bottom of the river, and many scattered stones that can serve as natural shelter for river creatures.

The riverbed is V-shaped. It is shallow near the bank, about eight meters deep, but it gets deeper as you go further in. In the middle, it can be about twenty or thirty meters deep.

Reaching the downstream end of the river, Qin Ziwen saw a blurry black cave ahead. He reached out and touched the edge of the dividing line, only to be blocked by an invisible barrier.

But the water flow was unaffected, passing through this membrane like a lava river in a furnace bunker; this was simply a section of the river that had been cut off.

"So this river is alive, not stagnant."

Back on the river, Qin Ziwen was already thinking about how many fish such a large river could support.

Given the width and depth of this river, it's more than enough to raise a whale.

However, there was nothing in the river except water.

The fish I raise I have to replenish myself.

However, it's not a big problem; there's still plenty of time.

He told Jia Liangcai his thoughts, and Jia Liangcai wrote them all down in his notebook.

Unlike the planning of the Rare Treasures Garden, the replenishment of fish species and ecological construction of the River of Life is a major project.

Jia Liangcai subconsciously touched his hair; another wave of hair loss was about to occur.

The news that a river and a large new blank area had appeared in the president's residence could not be kept secret for long and quickly spread throughout the Qin Alliance.

Meanwhile, news also circulated that a "life-for-death" campaign had been launched within the community.

Live fish can be exchanged for dead fish at a ratio of 1:1.2.

Although the proportion is not high, there are still quite a few people who flock to it.

You can get an extra two ounces of meat for every pound of live fish!

This also led to island development work becoming a hot topic for a time.

The island where the residential area is located has a limited area, and due to extensive development by residents in recent days, the seafood production near the island has decreased significantly.

Many of the surrounding islands are undeveloped and wild lands.

If you're bold enough, one day's harvest can equal several days' worth of earnings.

The increased efficiency of development has led to a significant increase in the frequency of ferry trips, from once every three hours to once every two hours.

The demand for boats in the community has reached its peak.

Amid the lively atmosphere, Huang Tao, who had been keeping a low profile for some time, took the opportunity to promote his small ferry in the community.

"Although the boat is small, only five meters long, and uses oars so it's not very fast, its advantage lies in its cheap price. More importantly, this boat is for sale. Once you buy it, it's yours! You can go out to sea whenever you want!"
