19 ottob 279 anni - The Southern Canal Project is Started

Descrizione:

The most well known canal on 2b2t is the Southern Canal that runs along the +Z axis.

The canal was founded by ThebesAndSound in October 19th of 279. It began at around 26.5k, with the original intention to build northwards (towards spawn), and finish at spawn. Over the span of over 20 years, Thebes finished the original section between 21.5k and 26.5k.

Around 20 years after the start of construction, Thebes contacted ChadDX, who was known at the time for constructing projects at spawn. Thebes gave Chad full ownership of how the spawn end of the canal should look and where it should be. Chad decided it should start at 1200, on the outermost ring of the three spawn ring roads he had built (400, 800, and 1200). Work was done by ChadDX, joshYarnspinner, Dic and rainyafternoon to complete the 1200 terminal. A short section of the canal was made from stone brick leading south away from the terminal. Upon hearing news of the work happening at the spawn end, Thebes traveled to 1200 to meet who was there. This culminated in Thebes's abandonment of the original section to work with the group at spawn and construct the canal southwards from there. This group of people eventually became known as the South Canal Corp.
