Swamp Lord with an Intelligence System - Chapter 639 - 272: Harnessing Water Veins

Chapter 639: Chapter 272: Harnessing Water Veins

After Lear gave his orders, the entire territory immediately entered a wartime production status.

Bain, the Chief Civil Officer, took the lead in overseeing the whole situation, ensuring that all departments collaborated effectively to produce and reserve materials needed for the war.

Arrows, weapons, armor, bow and arrows… everything that could be used was being produced at full capacity.

Regarding raw materials, a substantial reserve had already been established during this period, so there was no need for concern.

Among the production priorities was the Alchemy Workshop’s output, the Alchemy-Activated Armor, which had become a key production project… This set of armor could fit any wearer without concerns of it not fitting properly.

As a current-stage reserve, it was very suitable.

Over a thousand Goblins, with ancient wisdom bestowed by the Ancient Goblin God, began rapidly producing Alchemy-Activated Armor.

The production efficiency increased along with the Goblins’ skill levels, from an initial output of over a hundred sets per day, now rising to 300 sets.

And the Magic Mercury excavated from the Ancient Ruins, after upgrading the exclusive armor of the Cold-blooded Cavalry – Rock Heavy Armor – began to favor the Alchemy Workshop.

The Master of Heart Eating’s Demon Army was still stationed in the Ancient Ruins, but unlike before, the Worms had not attacked the veins during this period.

This allowed tens of thousands of miners to mine steadily and peacefully.

With improved proficiency, the mining quantity also steadily increased.

This stabilized the output of Magic Mercury, which could produce two hundred units daily.

And for inscribing enchantments, even full-body armor like Rock Heavy Armor required only the consumption of 1 unit.

This greatly improved the overall quality of weapons.

March 10th, intelligence was refreshed.

Perhaps because the intelligence that previously uncovered the catastrophe hidden by the Master of Dark Crows was a significant update, this time the intelligence value wasn’t high, and Lear skipped it after a glance.

His attention was focused on accumulating military supplies as much as possible before the Original Plane emerged.

As the time reached March 12th, the Blacksmith Shop began mass enchanting the Alchemy-Activated Armor, with the Dark Night Hunters being the first beneficiaries.

Stars armor upgraded to 4 Stars, significantly boosting defense.

Moreover, their Armor-Breaking Longbow was also included in the enchantment list.

It would be upgraded as soon as Magic Mercury became abundant.

On March 13th, Underground City construction entered a new stage.

Under Lear’s seemingly endless support of energy, the Vine Fairy completed the initial targets with unimaginable efficiency—

Centering around the City Hall, the Underground City extended out 5 kilometers in diameter, forming a vast and magnificent underground city.

The overall height exceeded 30 meters, constructed entirely from Starry Sky Vine.

This was absolutely a miracle!

Even Bain, who supervised the construction of the Underground City, trembled in excitement after the city was built.

It was so overwhelming and unbelievable.

Moreover, Weilu City now had all necessary buildings for an Underground City.

Due to the cold weather, many departments had already relocated underground for work.

The earth naturally had insulating properties, and coupled with the temperature regulation ability of Starry Sky Vine, the production and living environment was extremely comfortable.

After the first phase of the Underground City construction was completed, Lear directly ordered the Vine Fairy to build a particularly important planned area… the Agricultural Zone.

In his vision, the Underworld could be self-sufficient, with food being one of the core elements.

The surface could grow Swamp Wheat, and underground, without sunlight, could still produce food.

This naturally led to the topic of the Underworld, a world with only dim light, still teeming with life.

Among these were plants that could grow without sunlight.

The Dark Night Elf was quite knowledgeable about this and, after a round of inquiry, provided specifics on food suitable for the dark environment: Moonlight Mushroom.

This unique Underworld food was sweet and delicious, containing a large amount of energy, completely meeting all conditions as a staple food.

It could grow by absorbing magic power in completely dark environments and emitted a faint light itself.

The only requirement was that the surrounding environment needed to be sufficiently moist and the water source unpolluted by evil power.

This growth condition was perfectly compatible with Weilu City.

The swamp, being naturally damp and watery, required no additional measures.

However, this plant wouldn’t thrive on the earth surface and required additional searching.

With a specific goal in hand, Lear dispatched the army to search, focusing on clearing out creatures that had escaped from the Underworld.

Within just three days, they acquired the Moonlight Mushroom.

The unique spore form of life, merely needing its mycelium to adhere to vegetation or soil where it could grow, could naturally absorb moisture and magic power from the air to grow.

However, clean water sources in the Underworld untainted by evil power were quite scarce, making it difficult for Moonlight Mushroom to be cultivated on a large scale.

But in the swamp, this wasn’t an issue.

Yet, if farming areas were only built on the earth surface, the area size would always be limited to expansion on a single plane.

When placed underground, things were different… it could extend both upwards and downwards.

With this in mind, Lear planned to utilize the swamp space below.

A depth of 100 meters was just the beginning, 200 meters, 300 meters… even 500, 1000 could be entirely possible.

A three-dimensional farming base, which could grow an unimaginable amount of food.

Upon receiving suggestions from the Mud Swamp People for this construction, Lear decided not to completely separate the mud.

Instead, constructing smaller planting rooms connected by tunnels, enabling each room to maximize contact with the mud slurry.
