Struggle in the Steam Age

No matter how you looked at it before, this gem was just a gem full of life force. When Lawrence and the others read the information from it, it also changed. At first, he thought it was a manifestation of the exhaustion of internal magic power, but then he discovered it. A gem is not a gem at all, but a seed of the world tree.

Although it sounds very tall, the seeds of the World Tree are not as precious as imagined. For the elves, any settlement with more than 50,000 people or independent elven clan settlements will have a symbol of the city or the elven clan.

The world tree that grew up was purely because of its huge size to get such a name, and it did not represent the entire world as Lawrence imagined in the legend of the previous life. However, as the core of the settlement of the elves, the World Tree can provide a series of protection and regulation for the surrounding environment, and it can also be said to be an extremely rare magic plant.

More importantly, the attributes of the world tree itself are very consistent with this astral plane and Nora. Therefore, if the World Tree is descended on this plane, it is a very beneficial thing for the World Tree itself, the astral plane, or the little doll Nara herself. According to Lawrence's later generations, this It is three wins.

"Then let's plant this tree in this place." Nora said after looking at the surrounding environment. "At least from various angles, this place should be the most suitable place for planting this tree in the entire space. The place for the World Tree. Then I can take this opportunity to build a new city in this place."

"I thought you would plant this tree in the capital of this plane. After all, this world tree is more suitable for planting near the settlements of intelligent creatures." Hearing this, Lawrence turned his head and asked strangely. Tao. "What do you think is the problem with that old city?"

"There was a problem from the site selection." Nora said and waved her hand. Soon, a sand table model of the city appeared on the ground. In addition to the city itself, there are also a series of topography surrounding the city. In order to allow viewers to understand the specific situation of the city more intuitively, Nora also made the model appear on the model with grass instead of vegetation and a small area of ​​water instead of the river flowing through the city.

"You see, this city is located on a high ground by the water. The surrounding area has convenient transportation and sufficient farmland area. It can indeed be regarded as a suitable environment for jackals to live." Nara fell on the edge of the sand table at this time. , And then he held a small stick that I didn't know where it came out of and pointed. "However, with the development of the Jackal civilization in this space, this place has gradually lost its development potential."

"For example, the foundation of this area." Nara said that the location of the city with the stick in her hand drew a circle with the surrounding area. "Except for the foundation of the temple, which is a stone hill, the entire city is built on the siltated land created by the flooding of ancient rivers, which makes it impossible to build too large buildings in this area."

"Before we came, the local people didn't know how to compost, so that all kinds of sewage continued to seep. As a result, after thousands of years, the groundwater under the whole city was completely polluted. The river water can only be drunk in stages due to the huge amount of sand during the flooding period of several months each year."

"City groundwater pollution!" Lawrence was also aware of this serious problem when Nora said so. Even before the industrialization era, urban groundwater pollution was very serious. For example, the reason why the Han Chang'an city in his hometown was abandoned in the Tang Dynasty and the Sui Daxing city was built in the southeast of the old site. It is also the Tang Chang'an city. A very important issue is that the Han Chang'an city has gone through hundreds of years of human activities. After the groundwater was seriously polluted.

In this place, the jackals have lived in that city for thousands of years, and the groundwater situation is even worse. Many canals and cisterns have been built throughout the city to draw relatively clean river water from the upper reaches of the river for drinking. But because of various problems, the city causes a large number of patients every year due to water pollution.

The only good news is that because the world lacks extraordinary powers, disease does not contain extraordinary powers. The physical quality of jackals is much better than that of humans. So I can persevere in this bad environment.

"Moreover, from the perspective of urban development alone, this city doesn't have much room for development." Nora said, pointing to the slopes around the city. "In the beginning, the jackals chose this place to avoid attacks by wild beasts and to use the ground to defend with the terrain, but now it also prevents the expansion of the city."

"I can understand why we need to build a new city." Watching Nora start to adjust the magical power of the entire astral plane to gather the magic power and even the purified power of faith, Lawrence took the opportunity to observe the surroundings and guessed it. It's out why this place was chosen as the new core city.

Because according to the current development speed of this plane, that old city will soon be unable to accommodate the new population. Instead of hurriedly rebuilding a new city when the time comes, it is better to be fully prepared now. On the other hand, this Gobi Desert is indeed suitable for building a city.

Not to mention that this place is located in the geometric center of the entire plane. At the same time, it is close to the river that runs through the entire astral plane to facilitate the transportation of people and materials around. The solid and flat ground alone can greatly reduce construction. At the time of the cost, the large amount of open space around has also reserved enough space for the future development of the city.

Just as Lawrence was thinking about these questions, Nora's work was coming to an end. Under the command of the little doll, the silver liquid condensed by the pure power of faith began to gather on the ground into a small pool of two or three meters in diameter. According to the amount of this power of faith, even for the gods. Said they are all expensive.

"Go back a little, my brother." After all the preparations were done, Nora reminded Lawrence who was still thinking about leaning back. Then he threw the seed in his hand into the silver pool in front of him.

Nothing changed in the pool when the seed was thrown into the pool. After a sound of falling water, Lawrence and the others only saw a circle of ripples on the pool. But soon, the ground shook slightly, and then a green thing quickly rushed out of the pool~www.ltnovel.com~ At the beginning, Lawrence thought it was a rattan. But soon he discovered that it was actually a tree with emerald green bark growing rapidly, and the whole scene was just like a fast-playing video in a documentary.

In the beginning, the tree was only as thick as Lawrence's thumb and as long as his palm. But after the silver pool emerged from the tips of the trees, it has not stopped increasing and thickening. Just a minute later, the tree became a five- to six-story tall tree with a diameter of one meter at breast height, and it continued to grow taller and thicker.

"How big will this thing grow?" Lawrence asked Nora next to him looking at the fast-growing tree. "If I remember correctly, the size of this tree is basically the same as a normal world tree that has grown for three or four years."

"I don't know." Nora also looked at the fast-growing tree in front of her in shock. "I only know that the world tree blessed by the gods on the side of the elves can grow very fast, so I wanted to try it with pure power of faith. I really didn't expect the effect to be so good."

Fortunately, after about half an hour, the growth rate of the trees finally slowed down. At this time, the entire tree had become a giant with a diameter of seven or eight meters at breast height and about ten stories high.
