deia walked toward the group of people from the Junk Garden. So of them seed to be making sketches to rebuild the base, and others were trying to asure the area.
"Jose," deia called to a man she had first t in the Junk Garden. "I didn’t expect you to co here too."
Jose was one of the most important people in the Junk Garden, so deia didn’t expect him to co to the Red Canyon.
"Miss deia, we et again." He continued, "The leader doesn’t want to make a mistake, so he wanted to co here in person."
It seed that Richard really respected Lucian so much that he wanted to do what was best for his cousin. Furthermore, he probably also wanted Jose to collect the seeds and information on how to fertilize the soil.
Before Jose asked her, she said, "I will give you the information on how to fertilize the soil before you leave and then send the seeds to the Junk Garden along with the water supplies this week.
Jose was surprised because deia had already anticipated his request. "You ... have thought of everything, Miss deia."
deia crossed her arms and smiled. "Of course. If I waited for you to ask, we would waste ti, and we don’t have much ti in this world, do we?" Then she asked him to follow her. "Co, I want to give you the blueprint for building the base."
Jose blinked in surprise and hurried to follow deia. "Blueprints? You an ... you’ve already planned everything?"
deia smiled faintly as she led him into a small, makeshift office. "I happen to be a great planner."
A great liar, to be exact.
Who had the ti to create a detailed blueprint from scratch in just a few days?
She pulled the blueprint from her inventory and unrolled it on the table. The design had been ticulously adjusted to fit the canyon’s unique landscape, and the structure incorporated the canyon’s natural walls.
Jose leaned over the table, his eyes scanning the details of the blueprint. "This ... this is incredible, Miss deia. Using the canyon walls as part of the design will save us ti and materials."
deia smiled proudly and for the first ti, she was grateful for having the system. "The canyon walls are strong, so why not let nature do half the work for us?"
deia tapped her fingers on the blueprint. "But this plan is not perfect yet. I need the technicians and chanics from Junk Garden to upgrade it so that the base will be suitable for generating electricity."
Jose nodded. "You’re thinking of solar panels?"
"Exactly," deia replied, glancing at the bright, scorching sun that baked the canyon daily. "The sun is relentless here. It would be a waste not to use that energy. Solar panels would be more reliable than wind in this environnt."
"Smart choice," Jose agreed. "Junk Garden has used both solar panels and wind turbines, but we’ve had better results with solar, especially in areas with consistent sunlight. I’ll bring our technicians here to help integrate a solar grid into the design."
"Good," deia said, "about the materials ... Lucian may be able to change the materials as he likes, but I don’t think it’s ideal for him to make all the materials for the base."
He might be strong, but deia was sure he had a limit. If he pushed himself too hard, Lucian would probably get sick.
"Don’t worry about that. We know places where we can gather good quality building materials." Jose reassured her, "The leader has thought of that."
"Good. Then I’ll leave it to you." deia handed him the plan. "Wait here, I’ll give you sothing to fertilize the soil."
deia then asked soone to bring two sacks of fertility stones to the office. She then explained to Jose how to activate the fertility stones. "Activating these stones is easy, but it will be safe if one person activates only five stones each week."
They didn’t have a super healing ability like Naomi. Therefore, deia wanted to make sure that no one in the Junk Garden would die from activating the fertility stones.
Honestly, deia could activate the stones for them, but why would she do that?
Richard was the one who decided to plant the crops himself instead of getting the crops from the Red Alliance. Therefore, he had to take responsibility for his own decision.
"I’ll make sure everyone follows your instructions carefully." Jose carefully accepted the bag of fertility stones. "I really didn’t expect that these stones could be used to fertilize the soil."
They had seen the stones every ti they entered the forest, but none of them had thought that they were useful.
But that was actually quite normal.
People tend to judge things by their appearance. A small stone would look useless in their eyes, so no one would expect it to have an incredible use.
"Thank you, Miss deia. I really appreciate this knowledge," Jose said.
After the people from Junk Garden finished observing and asuring the site, they decided to leave the Red Canyon before sunset. deia, standing near the gate, whispered to Naomi. "Prepare a sack of fresh vegetables for them. Consider it a gesture of goodwill."
Naomi nodded enthusiastically. "On it!" She dashed off to the farm and returned minutes later with a large sack full of vegetables.
Jose grinned as Naomi handed him the bag. "You didn’t have to do that, but thank you." He asked, "Why haven’t I seen Mr. Lucian since earlier? Did he go sowhere else?"
deia’s expression turned a little grim. "My husband is not coming ho today," she replied curtly, looking like a desperate wife who had been abandoned by her husband.
Jose blinked, taken aback by her sudden nickna for Lucian. If he rembered correctly, deia had told them that she was just Lucian’s companion. But he decided not to think too much about it. "Oh, I see. I hope he’ll be ho soon."
