The mist swirled, enveloping a considerable area, creating an ethereal scene akin to a fairyland.
Chen Yu stood with his hands behind his back.
Looking at this sub-camp, even though he already possessed twenty-four sub-camps, it still seemed too small when it came to establishing a water system.
Imagine.
Whose river was only a few hundred meters wide?
"The road ahead is long and arduous!" Chen Yu murmured. He was merely showing his initial potential; there was no room for complacency with such minor achievements.
The area he was currently in could serve as the preliminary water condensation zone.
Further modifications could be made later.
Even a city would undergo continuous reforms with development. Chen Yu doubted if anyone could envision the urban planning of decades later at the dawn of reform and opening up.
Of course—wΑp.kanshu伍.net
Chen Yu wouldn't definitively say it was impossible, but he certainly didn't possess such a powerful intellect.
"How should the smelting zone be handled?"
Leaving the water condensation zone, Chen Yu slowly walked towards the smelting area.
From tens of meters away, he could feel the intense heat, with waves of heat lapping against him. Even a brief pause would leave him drenched in sweat.
To prevent the smelting zone from affecting other areas.
Chen Yu had already moved it to a corner, but the range of its heat radiation remained extensive. If Chen Yu were to expand the smelting zone further, his entire camp might turn into a furnace.
"Hiss!"
"How can I cool down this area?"
He hugged Chen Yu's shoulder and mumbled.
If he wanted to further expand the smelting zone, he had to find a way to control its temperature. This was a crucial issue for him.
Expansion of the smelting zone was inevitable.
Even if he didn't face it now, he would eventually have to!
"How are the smelting zones outside the underground developed?" Chen Yu retreated to the main camp, sitting on a chair, chin in his hand.
Specialization was key.
He really didn't understand this aspect well.
Recalling roughly, there should be a buffer zone, and the smelting facilities outside the underground were purely modern mechanical, which were not applicable to Chen Yu's current situation.
"Still need temperature control!"
Chen Yu narrowed his eyes.
Just as Chen Yu was pondering, a black shadow fell into his line of sight.
It was Hei Dou.
He carried his exhausted body, looking as if he were under a weakness aura, weakly dragging his legs as he moved forward step by step.
His pupils seemed to be glazing over.
"What's wrong with you? Did you sneak off and enter Sage Mode?" Chen Yu strode forward, picking up Hei Dou and placing him on a chair.
"Sneak off?"
Lying on the chair, Hei Dou had lost all will to live.
"Who snuck off!"
"Then you..." Chen Yu looked strangely. Hei Dou, lying down, panted heavily and said, "It's weird, I don't know what I ate, but I suddenly got diarrhea."
"Ah?"
Chen Yu was stunned.
He immediately recalled that on their way back, Hei Dou had been walking with his legs clamped together. As soon as they entered the camp, he disappeared. Chen Yu had thought he was in heat and hadn't paid much attention.
"You had the runs."
"Ah, it's like fireworks!" Hei Dou said speechlessly. "My legs were trembling, making clanging sounds. I was afraid the force would make me fall."
"That stimulating?"
"Extremely stimulating!"
It was evident that Hei Dou wanted to make exaggerated expressions, but he was already in a state of exhaustion and truly lacked the strength.
Chen Yu also raised his hand and patted his head in comfort.
"How did you get the runs? We ate the same things, why am I fine?"
"I wish I knew too." Hei Dou's voice was tinged with tears. "When we came back, I was happily grooming myself. As I was licking my fur, suddenly my anal valve became uncontrollable, and then I..."
Gurgle!!
Hei Dou's stomach gurgled as he lay on the chair. He almost instantly stood up and shouted.
"Throw me out!"
"Ah?"
"Quickly, I can't hold it in anymore." Hei Dou gritted his teeth anxiously. Chen Yu grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and threw him out, "Go!"
Whoosh!
Hei Dou transformed into a perfect parabola and landed precisely.
Immediately—
"Clang!"
The thunderous sound made Chen Yu tremble. He instinctively touched his stomach.
"Why am I okay?"
As Chen Yu muttered to himself, he suddenly recalled Hei Dou's earlier words.
'I was happily grooming myself~'
'As I was licking~'
Chen Yu looked down at his fingers again. He vaguely remembered pinching a candied chestnut with his fingers and rubbing it on Hei Dou's fur.
Oh, this...
Could it be that he was the cause of this misfortune?
Chen Yu stared in the direction of Hei Dou, stunned for a long time. He had just instinctively wanted to find a place to wipe his hands and never intended for Hei Dou to suffer!
However, it had to be said, experimenting yielded truth!
The effect of the medicine was truly remarkable!
Just rubbing it on Hei Dou's fur with his fingers after pinching a candied chestnut, and Hei Dou licking it, had such an effect. This candied chestnut was worth the purchase!
"Hoo~"
"Help me~"
"Boss, save me~"
In the distance, Hei Dou, after finishing his explosive ordeal, slowly approached with his battered body. Chen Yu quickly picked him up and placed him on the chair to lie down. Seeing his pitiable state, his heart ached.
"Why did I get the runs?"
Hei Dou was lifeless. Chen Yu, with a guilty conscience, coughed lightly.
"The runs are a blessing; consider it detoxification." Chen Yu rubbed his little head. "Perhaps it's because you always ate indiscriminately before, accumulating too many toxins in your body, and your body is protecting itself."
"Is that so?"
"Of course, why would I lie to you? Such episodes of diarrhea will pass with time, so don't panic."
"I hope so."
Hei Dou, lying down, found it difficult to even breathe, his head drooping.
"Get well soon, and when you're better, we'll go to that Black City again!" Chen Yu whispered. Mentioning Black City caused Hei Dou's expression to sharpen.
"Attack the city?"
"How could that be? We haven't even recruited soldiers yet. Didn't you say there are treasures in that Black City? Let's go in and scout their troop strength first, and maybe grab some resources along the way."
"No problem!"
Hei Dou grinned, then gasped.
"Do you need my help?" Chen Yu thought Hei Dou was about to have another episode and grabbed him by the scruff of his neck, preparing to throw him out.
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Hei Dou, now airborne, kicked his legs and said.
"I don't have the runs, I just felt a bit cold." Hei Dou mumbled, then stared at the frost on the ground. "What's going on down there? Why is it freezing?"
"Ah?"
Chen Yu subconsciously looked down.
He saw the ice crystal ore he had just thrown onto the ground, which had caused a thick layer of frost to form around it, with cold air continuously spreading outwards.
Seeing this, Chen Yu immediately released his grip on Hei Dou and clapped his hands forcefully.
"I have an idea!"
