The Godsfall Chronicles

Municipalities with a population of 350,000 in the wilderness over the millennium, like Cape Phoenix, have hardly, and are unlikely to, emerge as large cities with millions of people.

One of the main reasons for this is the oppression of the Divine Domain.

But that's not the most fundamental reason!

Owing to the limitations of living resources in the wilderness, the uniqueness of access to food and the extreme scarcity of water, it is difficult to create a large colony that can meet the needs of hundreds of millions of people.

The ceiling on survival resources determines the ceiling of the population.

It is not surprising that the competition for survival becomes more brutal and fierce when the population exceeds the maximum value that can be accommodated in the region, with killings and blood consumption occurring. Failure either dies or leaves, and due to the natural mechanism of elimination at the end, the scale of death is always firmly limited.

The current practice of cloudhawks goes the other way.

He broke the pattern of dispersed living in the wilderness, and he was preparing to build large wilderness castles, unify language and script units and currencies, and build national civilizations and armies.

In the future, the city will have a population of at least one million, possibly even millions.

But the scale of the oasis's resources can only feed hundreds of thousands of people, and if the population grows to millions, I'm afraid it will face very serious challenges, not to mention millions? That's impossible! In a few years, this place will be squeezed dry and turned into a desert.

The sense of crisis is already strong.

Because, at the current rate of population growth, water may only sustain consumption for two weeks and food for a maximum of one month, the establishment of the Southern Desert City will have to be suspended if a good response is not devised.

Flowers across the coast have come up with the idea of open source throttling.

Control population growth rates while increasing access to water and food.

As for practical means of implementation, it is natural to limit the size of the additional population each day, to keep population growth within the limits of control and management, while at the same time exploring a great deal of oasis and nearby groundwater resources, opening wilderness water routes, collecting water from surrounding areas and collecting and transporting it back in water tankers.

This is indeed a rational approach.

But it can only ease for a moment and not solve the problem from the ground up.

Moreover, how can countless wildlings reject them on their way to the Castle? The motivation of the latter is overwhelmed by the dangerous environment in the wilderness, where people die every additional day of delay.

A water truck? Not very reliable!

There are not many water tankers in the Green Alliance, and even if they are all used, they are afraid of being paid for a glass of water.

Driving into the wilderness is absolutely walking fat, and all bandits and sweepers will be interested, because the tank is filled with either oil or water, but whatever it is, it is a precious resource enough to provoke the greed of these bandits.

As for digging wells and looking for groundwater?

The deterioration of the wilderness environment did not take place overnight, but slowly transformed over more than a thousand years. Now, apart from a very few miraculous places like oases, it is difficult to find water sources in the wilderness, even groundwater can be undesirable, with long exploration and excavation cycles, and not necessarily the ideal return.

There's another way.

If it doesn't work.

Then let the Eagle do it himself!

Cloudhawks use the ability to move space to bring water from different realms.

This is an approach that can only be contingency, not long-term, but ultimately healed. How can a cloud hawk, as the Supreme Leader of the Green League, be a porter all day? Not to mention the fact that cloudhawks are powerful, but the power of a person can't serve millions of people at the same time.

Neither can it.

Neither can that.

South Desert Castle is in great difficulty.

Cloud Eagle ends the meeting early, takes the Oasis City trail and just wants to think about it alone and quietly.

At this point, the little weirdo screamed and suddenly it reached his ear: “Squeak! Squeak!”

How did that little guy end up here?

Cloudhawks have not recently carried their little freaky birds with them, either hunted by the infidels themselves or handed over to children such as Aqua Blue to assist in their practice. Don't look at this little bird. He's not a high beast. He's been following clouds and eagles all these years. Now he's grown up to be a powerful guy.

Enough to stand alone against an average high-ranking hunter.

Under the help of the cloud eagle spirit, a master like North Chenxi is not his opponent.

The essence of the bird is a special weapon, which is inherently strong and weak, but more importantly, the person who uses it.

Cloudhawk walks over.

Little freaky bird follows a girl.

Looking in her teens, the girl, dressed in a special leather coat from the apprentice of the hunter, had a demon stick inserted in her waist and was walking into a wasteland with a large bucket, an open area in the middle of the oasis that had not been developed and used.

What's this little girl doing here?

When the blue water enters the wasteland, place the bucket on the ground, take out a glove and put it on. From the material of this glove and the pattern above, the glove should be a spell, and the blue water should start immediately after wearing the spell.

The water molecules in the surrounding air, all gathered towards the palm of the hand, form a small stream, which flows into the bucket as a faucet.

A minute or so.

Finally filled a barrel of water.

She poured all the water in the bucket in the middle of the empty space, leaving it to flow into the barren sand, then continued to collect fresh water, filling the bucket again, and then repeated it continuously.

The bird felt the cloud eagle appear.

It immediately patted its wings and squeaked.

“Ah, old... teacher, what are you doing here? ”

The little girl discovered that the cloud eagle was always looking at herself not far away, as if her little secret had been discovered, and she immediately felt a little overwhelmed.

Cloud eagle dressed in black, backed out more and more mysterious breath, he walked slowly with his hands behind his back, as he looked at the wasteland wet by water, and looked at this tired and panting little girl in front of him, only to see constant sweat beads, along the gradual chin, falling on the ground.

“What are you doing here? ”

The little girl scratched her head with embarrassment: "I'm trying to save the land. ”

The cloudhawk couldn't help but wonder: “What? To save the land? ”

The little girl nodded very seriously: “The Oasis Academy lecturer said that land desertification is a lack of moisture, and if the land is kept hydrated, the desert will sooner or later be re-greened and revived… so I borrowed this artifact, both for expendable training and to try to wake up the Oasis wasteland. ”

Actually for water blue.

This in itself is an expendable training.

The so-called drain exercise is the process of restoring mental energy to constant drain.

Cloud eagles didn't care much about water blue at first. Even if this method really worked, how could it revive the entire desert? The earth's moisture loss evaporates too badly, just because you think it creates moisture is like reviving the land, that's too naive.

But last heard.

The cloud hawk's mind flashed with a light.

The blue words seemed to inspire him in some way.

Yeah, well, why didn't he just think of that?

Oasis lacks food and water. The first thing that cloudhawks think of is a scientific solution, which is why they ask for flowers from the other side. But the problem is that cloudhawks themselves are not that scientific people, or people who can't be explained by human science. Why doesn't he solve it in another way?

The Green Alliance has the Warrior Squad inside.

The Green Alliance can also materialize the spirit into spiritual beads.

There are things, general science, that are difficult to do, and if you have a crafty hunter and a magical technology, then perhaps you can decay into magic.

For example, how hard is it to collect water in the wilderness using scientific methods?

If a cloud hawk could invent a device that could produce water, like this glove in blue, that could make water for everyone with mental power, that could turn any substance into water, would the Green Alliance still be so short of water?

The Green Alliance will never run out of water as long as it keeps cultivating its hunters!

In addition, the use of the hunter is manifested in all aspects. The magic apparatus is a tool created by the demon. Although humans do not yet know what its principles are, in theory, what human technology cannot or cannot do can all be accomplished through these tools that decay into miracles.

“Teacher, what's wrong with you? ”

The blue face looked at the teacher with surprise.

The cloud eagle gently reached out one hand, and I'm afraid the woman would be jealous to see the teacher's hand, just like the warm white jade carved into it, so that no trace of pores could be seen.

Almost simultaneously.

Water blue can be clearly felt.

All the surrounding air and all the matter is covered by a force.

The loess tumbled quickly to become wet and fertile, with all air molecules fundamentally altered, and countless water molecules gathered for seconds, eventually dropping a small leaching rain, making the entire wasteland damp and earthy.

Is that the power of the teacher?

Actually, this scene is nothing in itself!

Aqua Blue believes in powerful hunters who can do it with their own artifacts.

But the teacher didn't use the artifact!

Although the teacher had been able to create or change matter with spirit more than a year earlier, his abilities now seemed to be stronger than they were at the time.

Cloudhawk retreats.

The surroundings are refreshing!

Although mutant bacteria have a strong reproductive capacity, under the same conditions, the growth rate and efficiency from sand is certainly not comparable to this modified fertile soil. If cloudhawks can green larger areas of desert, the oasis will expand in a very short time.

Oasis expansion, more resources, only permanent increase of the population ceiling, that's the real cure… But then again, although you're right, it's not as simple as that.

First of all, this kind of disengagement artifact, the ability to create matter at will, or to change matter, I'm afraid, after all, the cloud eagle alone has the power, after all, to be very limited, to change a small piece of wasteland is yet to be forced, and if he were to change the whole desert, it would be impossible.

Secondly, even after the modification is completed.

And in what way should it be maintained?

After all, environmental degradation in this era is too severe, even if the land can be greened, if it cannot be protected, it will sooner or later be re-swallowed by the wilderness.

The cloud hawk is constantly generating new ideas.
