Chapter 255: Serving the People
The next day, Trist followed behind Bredero and studied the Selected Works of Chen Ke through practice.
Bredrow summoned the Grey Dwarf Lizard Riders in the village and gave each of them a strangely shaped shovel. This shovel is not large, horseshoe-shaped, and the shovel handle has a bolted steel pipe that can be connected.
"Let's call this shovel 'rockfall shovel' for the time being."
Luo Feng held a shovel to show the lizard riders, and said while demonstrating: "Its purpose is exploration, and to put it simply, it is to make holes." ”
So saying, Bredrow dug into the ground with a shovel, and soon dug a hole the size of a bowl, and he attached the extended handle and continued to dig deeper and deeper.
"Just like that, the shovel can dig up to 20 meters underground, and if it hits a rock formation, the gote head is replaced. You all carry maps of the surrounding area in your backpacks, and you are all miners who are good at identifying minerals. ”
Luo Feng continued: "The task I have given you is to explore the nearby mineral resources and water sources, especially the water sources, and report back to the village immediately if you find a water vein. ”
There is no rain in dark areas, so fresh water is the most valuable resource. Residents must rely on any filters that come down from the surface. The discoverer of water stores water and protects it with life.
There are also rivers and lakes in the Dark Lands, but the rivers are too high in minerals and even contain toxins, and the lakes are occupied by powerful races.
It was also a good deal for caravans from the surface to trade clean water, where a penny of water was transported in wooden barrels to a dark area in exchange for an equal weight of silver ore.
There is a great shortage of water here, like the barren Gobi Desert, but Luo Feng believes that this is not the case, groundwater is obviously an important part of water resources, and it is one of the important water sources for agricultural irrigation, industrial mining and cities in the real world.
It is very likely that the bottom layer of the dark area is above the groundwater layer, which happens to be in a groundwater scarcity zone, and due to the limitation of exploration technology, the residents of the dark area do not know where to dig the well, once they dig in the wrong place, they have to give up after spending a lot of manpower.
So he summoned the Grey Dwarf Lizard Riders to survey the nearby ore veins and water veins to lay the foundation for future development.
Seeing off the exploration team carrying the Luoyang shovel on his back, Luo Feng took Trist to a stone house made of stone and clayed walls.
As soon as he entered the room, Trist felt that the temperature inside was much warmer.
"Feel the difference?" Luo Feng saw that he was puzzled, and said to him: "There is a flue under this room, and if you light a fire outside, the heat and smoke will be discharged along the flue, and the ground is equivalent to a large kang." ”
Trist continued to observe the furnishings of the room, which was full of iron shelves, rows and rows of iron shelves in good order, and on the shelves were stacked bags of burlap bags, and holes were drilled into them, and small milky mushroom umbrellas were drilled out of the holes.
He recognized the mushroom, it was Los liver, a delicious underground mushroom.
As far as the eye can see, there are no less than thousands of bags in the whole big room, and each bag is covered with ox liver mushrooms that have just emerged from the tip of the umbrella.
This mushroom is delicious and nutritious, much better than the lichen moss and straw mushrooms that gray dwarves usually eat, but this mushroom is not very common, and only occasionally grows a few clumps near geothermal areas and hot springs.
Because of its rarity, this kind of mushroom can be regarded as a high-end ingredient on the table of the drow elves, but I didn't expect that so much could grow in this room.
"As long as we understand the conditions for the growth of fungi, mix the substrate soil suitable for fungi, make fungus bags from giant mushroom skin, supplemented by geothermal heating with coal-burning, and then properly sprinkle water to adjust the humidity, we can grow fungi on a large scale."
Luo Feng pointed to the beef liver mushroom on the shelf and explained to Trist: "Grasp the laws of nature and use scientific methods, and agriculture can also be developed in dark areas. To do all this, do we need to pray to Mother Earth Goddess, we pray to her, will she give this planting technique? ”
Trist shook his head slightly, then nodded again.
"The natural conditions of the surface world are better, and there are more ways to promote agricultural technology and increase food production, enough to feed all the people of Faerun. But the gods disagreed, if the people of Faeron had eaten their fill, wouldn't they have more time to study and think? As a result of studying and thinking, science has developed, and people can live happily on their own, and will they still kneel before the gods and pray to them? ”
Luo Feng looked at Trist, who was bowing his head and contemplating, and continued: "We must first prove to the gray dwarves that believing in red means believing in the representatives of the most advanced productive forces, and they can improve their lives through labor and creation with their own hands, change their fate and the mercy of the gods, and create a better future for themselves and future generations where they can live in equality and dignity." ”
Trist clenched his fists, he felt a surge of power from the bottom of his heart, wasn't the kind of future Bradelow was what he dreamed of?
People have suffered a lot in the world, God has enjoyed all the glory in the kingdom of God, and the happiness of more than 100 gods is the result of the hardships of the vast majority of mortals.
Why?
Just because they are gods?
Tens of millions of ordinary souls are inferior to more than a hundred Holy Spirits?
Since mortals can transform the world and create the future with their own hands, what else do the gods need?
Mortals should not bow down to the gods and pray, on the contrary, the gods should serve mortals in exchange for their respect!
Otherwise, the glory of the gods is a joke!
If you don't work for the interests of the people, no matter how powerful you are, you don't deserve the word glory!
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Trist knew that he had understood, and suddenly a message came from the void, which was the approval of Safras, the god of prophecy, for his establishment of the Red Faith.
A bright red aura of divine power lingered around him, and the golden and red light enveloped him, and Trist was promoted to the Battle Priest of the Red Faith, "The Crimson Priest".
He received the first Red Priest Divine Technique: "Serve the people!" ”
This spell is similar to the Priest's Magic: "Blessing Technique", but it has more bonuses and stronger effects than "Blessing Spell"!
Divine Blessing can give your recipient's morale +1, gain Attack Identification and gain +1 Attack Power.
And "Serve the people!" "Then you can increase your morale +2, gain attack identification and attack power +2, and you can also eliminate fatigue to a certain extent and regain the magic spell position.
Seeing Trist promoted to Red Priest in front of him, Luo Feng patted him on the shoulder with great satisfaction, nodded and said, "The little comrade has a high level of consciousness......
