While Nethers was chatting with Taliyah, the brigade gradually approached their destination, Vikoala City.

Such a city can be formed in the depths of the desert, even if it is now desolate and dilapidated, it is still a miracle.

And there is only one reason for this miracle, that is, there is a precious resource that is enough to support a city's population - water.

This is also the reason why Taliya and his group chose to come here.

The water attracted enough population and formed a city.

Nearby desert tribes and desert merchants heading north will spontaneously gather in this city to replenish precious water resources.

Therefore, the leader only needs to visit this Vikoala City to meet all kinds of desert tribes, find them to understand the details of all aspects of the desert, and complete the social background investigation of the eastern part of the Shurima Desert.

So, where does the water source in Vikoala come from?

"Mother of Life." Looking at the dry riverbed that gradually appeared in front of him, Nethers sighed in a melancholy tone.

This long river that miraculously appeared deep in the desert is the source of Vikoala's water.

However, the part it appeared on the surface of the ground has completely dried up, leaving only a wide riverbed that was buried mostly by wind and sand, which is still telling its once surging and surging.

Fortunately, although this river has been cut off, it has not completely cut off.

Although the long river on the ground has dried up, the underground river is still flowing quietly.

The deep groundwater mercifully pours onto the ground here, forming a small constant lake. The lake nourishes the oasis, which nourishes life.

This is also the reason why the declining and dilapidated city of Guvikoala has survived so far.

"Is this the mother of life?" Taliyah had never seen it before, but she knew the river.

This river is the spiritual totem of all Shurima people, and is the source of life that has nourished Shurima land in legend.

Its importance is like the Nile River to Egypt - that is why it is called the Mother of Life.

The mother of life in the story is abundant and has many tributaries. It is said that it originated from the capital of the Shurima Empire, and transported sweet spring water to every corner of the Shurima desert like a spider web.

The lonely Shurima Desert was revitalized, with oasis born from water, cities rising from the ground, and eventually creating a prosperous ancient Shurima Empire.

However, Shurima people will know as long as they grow up a little bit:

These beautiful legends are just stories of cheating children.

The Mother of Life in reality has no vast flow, and it would be nice to have a dry outline of the riverbed that was not completely buried by the yellow sand.

"She runs like the sea, feeding people with the tide and crops that people cultivate. She is the wheat grains she eats, and the cotton she makes clothes."

Siville next to him is still living unlovingly carrying the ancient Shurima poems praising the mother of life.

Taliyah looked at the lonely and decaying scene in front of her and couldn't help asking Nathers: "Mr. Giant."

"In the ancient poem you taught to Severe, it says that the mother of life is the 'eedy wheat grain' and the 'cotton for clothes'."

"Can you still grow crops and cotton in the Gushurima desert?"

Growing crops is very water-consuming, and cotton is even more so.

Piltwolf scientists have studied it earlier that producing one kilogram of wheat requires 1 to 2 tons of water, and producing one kilogram of cotton requires 7 tons of water.

With so much water, can this dead river in front of you really provide?

Even poplar and cactus can only barely survive in this desert, so how can there be room for survival to give it to the delicate crops and cotton?

Taliyah couldn't believe that the ancient legends about the Mother of Life were true.

"Oh." Nathers sighed deeply.

"This is true." His eyes showed a look of memories: "Our mother of life is far greater than you think."

"Taliyah, in the legend you heard, the Mother of Life originated from the capital of Shurima Empire, right?"

"Yeah." Taliyah nodded.

This is also what she couldn't understand the most.

The capital of the Shurima Empire is located at the center of the desert, with the endless Gobi Desert in the east, west, south and north.

In the center of this desert, how could the Jedi of life originate out of thin air a river that can be known as the mother of life?

"Because the source of the Mother of Life is not the capital of the empire, but the Giant God Peak Mountains on the westmost side of the desert." Nass said: "It is the snow-filled water of Giant God Peak that has been endless all year round, bringing the source of life to this desert."

"Giant God Peak?" Taliyah frowned slightly.

She has been to the Giant Shen Peak Mountains.

After she left the tribe, she headed north along the Giant Peak Mountains on the west side of the desert to reach the Noxus Colony on the north bank of Shurima.

When passing through the Giant Shenfeng Mountains, Taliyah did see what Nethers said about the melting water of the snow-capped mountains.

The melting water of the snow-capped mountains flows down from the mountains, gathering into countless streams and rivers, pouring eastward into the Shurima Desert.

"But, as far as I can see," Taliyah said, "the streams did not change the environment of the desert after entering the desert."

"Maybe they dried up quickly after entering the desert."

Taliyah did not specifically inspect the hydrological environment downstream of these streams at the beginning. But she knew that if these waters really could play a role, Shurima would not be what it is now.

"What's more, from Giant God Peak to Vikoala"

The Giant God Peak is on the west side of the desert, and the Vikoala is on the east side of the desert, with a span of thousands of kilometers east-west.

Can those snow-filled mountains and melt water really withstand the scorching sun in the desert, without losing or evaporating along the way, and come here across thousands of kilometers?

"It's not possible under natural conditions." Nathus replied in a deep voice: "But in the Shurima Empire, it's OK."

"How did it do it?" Taliyah asked anxiously.

If what Nathers said is true, it means that the ecological environment of the desert can actually be changed artificially.

As long as such a method really exists, the ancient Shurima people could do it, and the current leaders can do it.

Taliyah believed so.

She hopes that one day the Shurima people can see spring again, with flowers blooming on the branches.

"No, you can't." Nathers just shook his head.

He was not mocking, but sighing: "After the fall of the Shurima Empire, no one in this world can do it."

As he spoke, he began to talk about the basic principles of Gushurima's great project of "Sending the West Water to the East".

"In fact, the snow-capped water sent by the Giant Shen Peak Mountains to the Shurima Desert is sufficient."

"These waters did not completely dry up after entering the desert. They gathered into the intersection of three rivers - the lower reaches of the three rivers, which was the capital of the Shurima Empire."

"Oh?" Taliyah was puzzled: "You mean that the capital of Shurima is actually a place with abundant water?"

"No." Nathers shook his head again: "When those big rivers flowed to the capital of the empire, they were actually completely exhausted due to the excessive evaporation of water caused by the high temperature environment along the way."

Although the capital of Shurima Empire is located at the intersection of the three rivers, it is also the end of the three rivers, a place with severe water shortage. Otherwise, it would not have been buried under the deep yellow sand and become a forbidden area for life.

"But this is just a manifestation."

"What was exhausted and broken in the imperial capital was just the surface riverbed."

"Most of the water in the snow-filled mountain of Giant God Peak did not evaporate by the sun along the way - but gathered deep into the ground, and formed an "underground ocean" in the underground of Shurima Desert."

Nathers spoke something amazing.

There is a vast ocean of water underground in the dry and water-deficient Shurima Desert!

"Yes." Nathers confirmed seriously in Taliyah's surprised gaze.

But before Taliyah could speak, he poured another basin of cold water: "But this underground aquifer is too deep."

"With human power, it is impossible to drill through the strata and take out the water from the depths of the ground to use it."

"Even if you are the leader, the science and technology you rely on are pride cannot do it now."

Nathers is telling the truth.

Take water from the depths of the ground for use in Quanshurima. This project volume is as outrageous as blowing a hole in the Giant Shenfeng Mountains and induced the moist water vapor on the west coast to moisten the desert.

Even if the Zuan people burst the screws, they would not be able to screw out such a powerful pump.

What's more, pumps also consume energy.

The water extracted from burning alchemy fuel oil is not more expensive than oil?

The leader is not a foolish family in the Middle East, so where did he get so much money to engage in desert agriculture?

"That is to say," Taliyah figured it out: "In the Gushurima Empire, humans not only had the technology to create a ‘continental water supply center’, but also had a nearly infinite cheap energy that could be used?"

"That's right." Nathers nodded.

Gushurima really has this kind of black technology.

This "black technology" is

"Sun Disc." A complex look appeared in Nethers' eyes.

The Sun Disc is a magical wonder created by the star spirits who stole the great power of the Star-casting Dragon King.

It can extract infinite energy from cosmic stars and continuously transport them to the rune land.
