I Became the Demon Lord and my Territory is an Uninhabited Island

Episode 182: Things When Thinking About Red Earth

From there, he returned to the island and gave Russ a contract signed by Nils as official documentation, and returned to work.

Rush saw the sentence in the contract stating that she could buy or sell from warehouse inventory, but instead turned to a typed rack without saying anything.

The next day, I raised my waist, trying to find red clay for brick. Although it has a certain degree of eyesight, in some cases it is unpleasant unless you consider the movement of places.

The goal is to be close to the villages, with water sources nearby for training.

For now, I'd like to make the other side of the pond in the first village a brick-making place.

The village near the second village has a lot of flat land and few trees, so if you dig lightly you will get red soil, and the third village is thinking about where the cacao tree is growing.

Well, first is the first village. I have to decide on the name of Kakamura.

Then he arrives across the village pond, using magic to remove the black soil on the surface and dig until red soil comes out.

It's a swamp originally filled with water, so if you dig it down to the waist, you'd expect red soil. Yeah, it came out. Because it was near the pond, the black soil near the red soil was swept away, and water had already started to accumulate on the surface of the red soil in a muddy state.

Red soil is really badly drained ... It's impossible if we don't leave a little further.

I return the black soil and move to a higher altitude even a little. Now, the stream stands 100 meters upstream and 50 meters sideways from where the water flows into the pond.

In this area, maybe the red clay layer is inclined, so I think it's fine.

Then remove the black soil again and confirm. The black soil was dry and the water did not bleed. I get down into the hole and step on the scoop to dig up the red clay, but it's not too hard, so a scoop is enough.

Divide the clods by half and rub them with your fingers, but since they contain quite a small amount of volcanic rock, I think they are enough for a jumpsuit. It saves you the trouble of bringing rough, soily objects near the hot springs in the mountains.

Then put out the [water] and knead the half in your hands, but it will look like clay, so if you adjust the water, I think it will enter the frame. The problem is logging, rooting and drainage. To expand the village, she fell down along the creek with some hits, but she didn't even think of a brick-making place.

There seems to be no water near the quarry, and pumping water from the well is a hassle. After all here. Fifty meters away from the site where the road is to be laid, the scenery will not be much impaired, but if you think about the future, why not build a brick workplace here. However, if you think before transportation, this is convenient.

Since it is not a dried brick, there is no need to worry about melting it even if it is stacked. However, drainage in case of digging and raining is such a problem. I don't want to do it because the work is dangerous because of poor scaffolding. Pouring into the pond will make the water turbid and will accumulate fine particles at the bottom, which will need to be dammed and cleaned up.

Digging a single bed of rock and draining it from there is probably the best, but it will probably clog.

I hold the clay and spread the dripping ocher water with my shoes, but I slip a lot. I don't know much about the coefficient of friction, but when it rains it will be hot until it dries. I don't want the problem to be passed on to children and grandchildren.

The accumulated water may be used for kneading as it is, but I think it is probably not enough. Like a pool, do you drop it one step down and draw it like a dirty water bank? The problem is where to drain.

I want to avoid running sewage into the sea. Can I sow it on red soil on a sunny day and let it dry?

Or the opposite idea. It is a way of cultivating creatures that can flow in fresh water by flowing sewage into a very large paddy field, draining only clean water.

Is the latter more productive? I surely planted some mangrove plants and feed on the bacteria on the fallen leaves, and I think there was a way of cultivation that was going to become more and more black soil. However, because it drains water, poultry that produces strong currents will not be released. If you think so, I want to avoid farming something. It would be less problematic to make a sedimentary layer only.

I feel that planting and aquaculture was something of a measure against soil pollution. It is not red soil water pollution.

It's easy to say and difficult to do.

This is a consultation for the heroes to flow into the red earth and the sea.

I have to go with this. Even if it is made inland too much, it is difficult to transport.

I cleaned the clothes, carefully removed the soil from the shoes, returned to the office, and started writing plans.

The place where the brick is made is close to the water source, a place that does not impair the scenery, and protection of the coral reef by the outflow of red soil into the sea.

Plans for securing future transportation routes, maximum loading capacity of carts, uniform size on the island, and planting of timber that grows quickly after securing timber for fuel.

Is it this much for now? For now, maybe this is fine. Oh, I have to eat dinner at this time ...

When I noticed, there were documents on the work desk processed by Mr. Rush and cold tea. Did you pack your roots too much ...? Once you start, you may want to fix your habit of working until the breaks get better. Even though it's still around 6:00 in the evening.

He spells out a proposal for a place for making red clay bricks and the associated sewage treatment method using a string, finishes today's work, and asks Fleur to take an appointment to Aida. I hope there is someone who knows well ...

Then, while cleaning up the desk, Parlor called me for dinner, so I went to eat dinner.

"I didn't get a response when I talked to me, but I can do some serious work on paperwork."

"That's terrible, can I take it seriously?"

"I just thought about cooking and making sweets."

Hahaha, Hide ...

I packed the sake in a wooden box, packed it, called out to Rush, and tried to go to the royal city, and seemed to be wondering what I was writing eagerly yesterday, and showed me the plan.

"I looked over it lightly ... but to be honest, I couldn't understand a part. I thought it was unusually rooted, but I was thinking about this ..."

"Well, the depletion of stone is evident. This is a volcanic island created by eruptions, and I thought it would be a great reserve if I dug red soil."

"What does this mean that red soil flows into the sea and coral is ruined?"

"Is it? There is no nutrient unlike black soil, so there is nothing good for sea plants and fish. In addition, extremely fine soil goes far and sinks and pollutes the bottom of the sea, so do not drain it to the sea as much as possible So, we make something like a very large pond, and when it rains, make it flow over it and let it settle down. The demons will invade you. Well, there is no water flowing all the time, so I think it is unlikely that there will be enough water to collect and overflow like a paddy field. "

"Are you so bad?"

Lush returned with a stern look.

"Red clay is a lot of awkward things, so you have to be careful, so it's not good to clean this sediment layer frequently, so I'm going to consult a little hero. I don't want to wipe out the surrounding coral reefs. ''

"It's serious enough that Mr. Calm consults."

I don't know if I'm praising or degrading ... There are so many things I don't even know ...

"Yes. I'm not an expert and I'm convinced that I want to be convinced.

"Be careful not to be killed by being attacked by demons."

"I know."

Certainly the heroes know me, but the other soldiers and maids are the problem ... I laughed and returned to my office.

I transfer to the basement, say hello and give a box of sake as usual.

"Sake made with aquamarine, so drink it with everyone. Of course, if you like it, buy it. There is also a letter to Mr. Aida, so please give it if you open it."

"I understand. Is it sake anyway ... I heard that Pilz, a mushroom, could play a role in fungus-related, so I'm not surprised at all, but I'm glad I am still grateful."

Today's lookout looks very serious.

"Oops, is it too late today, sorry?"

"No, I just came."

"So what is consultation?"

"Look at this."

I laid my brick-making plan on my desk.

"You look?"

"Well, please. There is no problem if you can clear only the water pollution of the red soil, but there are places where I can not do anything with my knowledge ..."

When Mr. Aida came to the page of the red clay sedimentary layer, the hero who was working for the watch came out.

"Ah, this is it? I'm a little nervous in the neighborhood and a law was made so I know a little. It was near a dog walking course."

"Is this true? I'd like a little more detail."

"Oh, no problem. Well, as far as you can see, there seems to be knowledge of coral reefs, so it's a structure to prevent the red earth from flowing. In this case, digging Because it exposes red soil, it's just a matter of sewage when it rains. ''

"Well, that's right."

"When you cut the mountain to expose the red soil, you need something like a U-shaped ditch around, but this is a drawing that allows water to flow to one place, so a deep water reservoir at the entrance to the sedimentary layer It's correct to make it, most things will settle out here, but fine things are impossible, so I'll put a straw and attach it to the Soko. Was not a piece of red soil, but a protective sheet or a lawn. It feels like preventing red soil from flowing out. If you clean the ditches from which the water flows, you can almost prevent it. "

"Is it better to interpret more straw in the sedimentary layer?"

"Yes, it's like a water tank filter, so I wonder if it's okay to pack it in. I don't know the neighborhood. If it's going to turn into black soil, replace it. The place where it flows is like a net, so it's good to prevent it from flowing. As I say many times, I often clean the first deep place ... "

"understood"

"I thought it was necessary to have an expert, but are there any neighbors ... Is it even better to recommend it to people on the continent?"

Aida-san is thinking about something next to me and the guard hero.

"Unless a typhoon-like rain persists for a few days, this structure seems to be fine, and it is unlikely that water is flowing in."

"That's right. Well, there were people who were familiar with it. It's a beautiful sea and scenery that you can use on a calendar or on TV. I really appreciate it."

"No, I'm glad if my knowledge was helpful. Please do your best to develop the island. Aida-san is doing my best too."

"It looks like, I'm writing something like red soil water pollution while whispering next to me."

"This person is also struggling. Please invite him to the hot spring again."

"Hahahah, that's right. Thank you for today. I'm busy thinking, so please say hello to Mr. Aida."

I got the information in an unexpected way and returned to the office immediately and added the above to the plan.
