Chapter 296: . Arrangement of Salt Mine Station

"Sure enough."
Kant nodded thoughtfully.
This well was once the center of the lower jackal tribe.
The freshwater resources are allocated by the jackal shaman, and the well will allow all the jackals of the entire tribe to drink 2000+ of freshwater in their daily life and ensure the reproduction of the entire tribe.
Judging from the water consumption of so many people, even the original sentry oasis could not be satisfied.
After all, the original water resources of the sentry oasis were at most pools.
Not even a bigger pond!
If there are so many jackals, no, even if there are 1,000 jackals, in less than 7 days, the original sentry oasis can be completely destroyed. After all, drinking water every day, the scale of thousands of people is extremely scary.
Not to mention the jackal tribe of 2000+ people!
If this well does not connect underground underground rivers or underground lakes, there can be no such amount of water.
Kant had guessed this at the time.
And now.
The mage apprentices undoubtedly solved this doubt!
"Since this is an underground river."
Kant pondered slightly.
His eyes flickered, the system dialog opened, and when he saw the buildings in it, his eyes suddenly appeared: "Really."
well.
It's just a system well.
As long as there is a groundwater source, Kant can build a system well at any time.
Just like when I was in the central post, the direction given by the system was above the underground lake, so the well was built, and then the central post was built.
In the Nalun Desert, water resources are precious wealth.
Occupy water resources.
That is equivalent to occupying the gold mine!
In fact, even if there is a gold mine deep in the desert, but there is no water well and no oasis around, then this gold mine is equivalent to useless waste, even mining can not be exploited, is it not waste or what?
Miners who are mining are always drinking water!
"Since there is an underground river here." Kant turned to look north.
This underground river always has a vein. If this underground river can be located not far from the salt mine, it can indeed solve many problems. For example, fresh water that needs to be transported every week can be canceled, and they can drink water for drinking. .
From the sentry oasis to the salt mine, it also takes a day.
It is already dusk.
Kant intends to arrive at the Salt Mine Post Station late at night.
There, there are already civilians working and living, and 20 desert robbers are responsible for protecting the security of the place, ensuring that the low-level jackals who are red-eyed due to hunger will not appear, attacking the civilians who have been tired all day.
"let's go!"
Kant rolled over and started again.
It has been abandoned here and there is not much future for development.
Perhaps when Kant’s oasis becomes larger in the future, it can become a very good spreading area. After all, there are underground underground rivers. As long as several wells are built, the oasis can be irrigated.
But it will take a long, long time.
After all, it is unrealistic that sentry oasis can become an oasis group spanning ten kilometers.
Only by thoroughly opening an above-ground river, with the help of the river’s powerful irrigation capacity, and improving the environment on both sides, can large-scale oasis appear in the desert, otherwise it will still be like a moon in the mirror, and it will be burned and destroyed by the scorching sun. The dry sandbar eventually disappeared.
Just like the desert oasis group that disappeared in various times on the earth, it was caused by the disappearance of underground rivers and the depletion of rivers on the ground.
To get an oasis like a fertile plain, you need a river.
Kant has already conceived this.
But in the current situation, it is better to develop your own sentinel oasis more vigorously.
The sentinel oasis carrying the "Drechem" castle is the foundation of Kant!
Time passed.
The night shrouded the sky.
Kant and the troops moved forward, looking up to the top of the sand dunes in front of them. As the starlight shone, there was faint fire swaying, that is the salt mine post, where he and the troops could rest temporarily.
At least much better than setting up tents in the desert.
Moonlight is like a soft gauze.
Soon, they also found Kant at the salt mine post.
Ten desert robbers drove directly from the horse, and another 10 desert robbers scattered around. Zema stood on the sand dunes and looked at the situation here. One by one, they were extremely cautious, fearing that they would encounter strange cavalry troops. If they are not enemies, they can still run away and escape to take the lead to report to the castle.
But soon their vigilance was lifted, and the desert robber headed salutes Kant very respectfully: "Master Lord, I didn't expect to see you this late. It is a great honor!"
"Well, I just arrived."
Kant nodded and told him: "Don't be nervous, let everyone come back."
"Yes!" The desert robber nodded.
As the rhythmic whistle blew, the desert robbers on the surrounding dunes waiting for the results immediately rushed over and looked at Kant one by one, with glances of honor and excitement in their eyes.
For them, seeing Kant is no different than seeing their own king!
Flocked into the post.
Thirty farmers wearing burlap clothes also respectfully stood at the gate of the post to welcome Kant's arrival.
They are salt mine workers.
Every day's work is to pack the coarse salt everywhere on the saline ground outside the salt mine station, and wait for the camel team to come and move it to the back of the camel, so that these camels can return quickly Raw materials.
This work was hard work, so Kant took the captives of more than 300 people.
Many slave miners are needed on saline land.
Especially when the salt-making workshop expands its production scale, the crude salt output here must be increased.
However, there are so many slave miners that can obviously relieve a lot of pressure. At least for the slaves who are captured, Kant does not need to care about too much human rights. Even if they let them starve every day, slaves are consumables anyway.
Since you become a slave, you cannot be treated as a friend!
The next time the camel squad transporting supplies arrives, these captive slaves will also be transported.
Kant has perfect arrangements.
At the same time looking at the 20 desert robbers and 30 Swadian civilians in front of him, he was a little surprised in his eyes and could not help but ask: "How many wars have you experienced?"
"War? No, not yet."
These people were equally puzzled and shook their heads to deny: "We have not experienced war."
Kant frowned: "Looking at you, it seems that you have experienced fighting?"
"Uh, when we came here, we had strangled some low-level jackals, and they came down scattered. There are probably more than 200. They are very hungry to attack us, but they are very weak."
The desert robbers and civilians finally remembered.
After all, when I first arrived at the Salt Mine Station, there were scattered sporadic jackals.
They were all survivors who were struggling in the desert of Naron. Kant had defeated the jackals throughout the camp. There were many scattered outside. Although they were all dead, there were still many jackals leaning on a little The water and food persisted and became the walking dead wandering in this desert.
That's right, it doesn't matter if it's the walking dead, because these jackals don't have a fixed source of food, and they don't have enough water. They all rely on their talents to endure support. When they can't support it, they die.
Or it was killed by the desert robbers in partnership with the civilians.
To them, these jackals who came to attack were poor like beggars.
Even civilians can knock down a few with the tools in their hands.
The hungry chest sticks to the back, and the powerless jackals are no threat to civilians.
Moreover, there are 20 desert robbers who are armed and stationed here.
After these two weeks of defense, many sporadic jackals were killed, and the surrounding jackals were almost turned into corpses, which also gave them sufficient experience to allow upgrades.
Kant did not hesitate, he directly chose the upgrade option.
30 Swadia Militia.
20 desert robbers are elite.
After the upgrade, although it is still a low-level soldier, it is also easier to guard this area.
What's more, there are more than 300 captives coming to work as slave miners. With these 50 guards, it can be dealt with. Even if they can't, the hungry slaves can keep them as dogs for a few days.
Where can a slave who has no strength resist?
Sleep late at night.
When tomorrow morning, Kant continued to lead the team.
There is a long way to go in the depths of the Nalun desert.
According to the route reported by the captives of the Grey Mane Kingdom, this saline land would only take 3 days and then 5 days to see the Devil's Land.
But the Devil's Zone is extremely hot, and no one can cross it.
The choice of the expeditionary army of the Grey Mane Kingdom is to bypass the devil zone in 10 days.
But Kant went directly.
His mission was to enter the devil's zone, and the so-called sun goddess may be in the devil's zone. After all, the sun also represents temperature, and the hot and impatient devil's zone may have a lot to do!
Replenish food and water at the post and continue trekking.
Along the way, deeper and deeper into the Nalun desert, the vast sand sea is even occupying the field of vision.
Day after day is full of desert.
Even further in, the desert terrain becomes gentler.
More and more sand appeared in front of them, and the higher and higher temperature also made Kant sweat.
Even the knights with extraordinary powers and the wizard apprentices with elemental powers began to feel a bit overwhelmed by the desert of Nalun. Tired colors appeared on their faces, and they were enduring hardship.
Kant is also patient.
"Is this the depth of the Naron Desert?"
He swallowed and spit~EbookFREE.me~ The chapped lips were no longer moistened with saliva, and even the saliva that was hard to secrete was swallowed, as if the chapped throat had a knife edge.
The cruelty of the Nalun Desert becomes more and more obvious as it gets deeper.
Civilized restricted area.
Ethnic desert.
At this moment, it is undoubtedly revealed!
Putting a pergola in his hand, Kant looked forward, still an endless sand sea.
Can't help but take out the water sac on his side, opened the stopper and took a small sip, so that his mouth and throat were moistened a little, but when the thirst in his throat became stronger, Kant re-plugged the lid.
Now is not the time to swallow fresh water, he wants to ensure the reserves of fresh water.
