301 Twin Towers
I opened a new book "Starting from a Superstar", everyone can help collect it and recommend it!
He hadn't paid much attention to it before, but this time he had taken a look at the topography, and the mouth of the great river was just at the tip of the island on the Pannivela Peninsula.
The mountains that stretch south from both sides of the peninsula are just beginning to slow down here, and the great river has just washed a flat ground through a gap in the middle of the mountains on both sides.
The castle chosen by Kayla is at the foot of a mountain on the right side of the estuary, which is flat, and on the right is the mountain that extends down the terrain, just to block the wind blowing from the sea, and to the north is a plain of a flat river.
On the left side is the great river, and over the mountain, there happens to be an inner lake-like sea surrounded by two small mountains jutting out to the sea, which is very suitable for building a port.
When Xiao Feng came last time, he hadn't thought much about building a city here, so he didn't pay attention to the terrain, but this time, the place chosen by Kayla was really good, and in this era, it was really a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
From the telescope, the castle is just halfway up the hill at the foot of the mountain, facing north, but it can be seen that this should only be the initial planning, and there will be later works.
The planned area of the castle is not small, the surrounding walls have been half built, and the roads leading to the bottom of the mountain are very neatly built.
At the foot of the mountain are patches of rice and vegetable fields, and in the distance, there are patches of barbed wire and local specialty thorn vines, woven fences, these fences draw out patches of flat grass, and on the ground inside the fence, there are groups of leisurely cattle and sheep grazing on the grass.
To the right, there are patches of barren grass gardens that are taller than man, and from these barren grass gardens there are rivers running through them and extending into the pastures and rice fields that have been carved out by man, so that there is no shortage of water in those places.
From time to time, the crowd haunts the rice paddies, and the busy people burst into laughter from time to time, and it is clear that the people here are still very satisfied with the current state of life.
Xiao Feng jumped off the roof of the car and asked Friday to drive in the direction of the castle, and only halfway through, he saw a group of cavalry rushing out of the castle.
After a while, the cavalry rushed to the front of their car, and Kayla jumped off her horse and plunged into Xiao Feng's arms, and she missed Xiao Feng very much after not seeing her for a while.
Xiao Feng smiled and hugged Kayla into his arms, warmed her for a while, and then invited her to get in the car and let Friday drive into the castle.
Inside the castle, Xiao Feng is also quite satisfied with the planning here, although the castle is still built with stones, but many places use cement and concrete, which makes the construction of the castle much faster than the traditional construction method here.
The road surface in the castle has been hardened, and pedestrians are also designed to walk on both sides of the road without interfering with each other, and drainage channels are also designed on both sides of the road, and the design of garbage cans and public toilets can be seen within a few steps, which makes Xiao Feng very satisfied.
As they walked all the way, Kayla introduced Xiao Feng to the design concept and construction of the castle, and she was obviously very satisfied with the results of her work.
Of course, Xiao Feng is also very satisfied with the results of her work, although the city wall is only half built, but the castle is very well planned, and the functional areas are very clearly divided.
There are also a lot of stone houses built in it, mainly for the distribution of the leaders, the leaders of the base, the soldiers, and the civilians who work hard and make great contributions, most of the civilians can only live in a proposed urban area planned at the foot of the mountain.
Kayla and Charlesman decided to set up a reward and punishment mechanism after research, and only those civilians who worked well and contributed a lot to the base could be assigned to the house in the castle.
And in this age of insecurity, that commoner didn't want to live in such a strong, safe castle?
Besides, there are so many convenient living measures in this castle, public toilets, public baths, running water, etc., living here is definitely not worse than the quality of life of the aristocratic lords in the human empire before!
So the enthusiasm of the civilians here is very high, just when Kayla introduced the construction of the castle to Xiao Feng, suddenly there was a loud noise near the mountain in front, and there was a large noise of human beings.
Kayla hurriedly took Xiao Feng over, it turned out that there was a huge cave next to the mountain in this castle, at this time, there were just bursts of smoke floating out of the cave, and after a while, I saw a lot of workers, pushing wooden carts, carrying carts of gravel out of the cave.
Kayla told Xiao Feng that there was another reason why they chose to build a city here, that is, because on this mountainside, they found a cave that could cross to the other side of the mountain.
Now Charlesman is leading people to widen the cave in the cave, and on the other side of the cave, there are two foothill remnants that extend into the sea, forming an outlet.
These two hills are shaped like two arms that extend into the sea, just holding a bay in their arms, and the water depth of that bay is still very deep, according to Yingran's investigation, it is said that this is a natural haven, very suitable for building a harbor, so Charlesman and Kayla, and Yingran decided to build a twin tower city here after research.
On the north side of the foothills, build a castle that will be able to monitor the vast expanse of land behind, and another castle on the south side, and a harbor by the way.
Xiao Feng is very satisfied with this design concept, but the amount of work sounds a bit large, but it doesn't matter, as long as it can be replenished by a steady stream of personnel in the future, it is not difficult to build two castles.
After all, this seaside has abundant water and wind resources, plus the nearby wasteland, and can also provide them with a steady stream of livestock, and they can build castles to deploy the power, but those human countries that rely on human manual operation are completely incomparable.
Soon there were fewer and fewer wooden carts coming out of the cave, and the smoke cleared, and Xiao Feng followed Kayla into the cave, which was very wide enough to accommodate four troikas driving side by side.
The ground has obviously been leveled, and it is very smooth to walk, about ten minutes of walking, and then I came to the opposite side.
As soon as I came out of this cave, I immediately felt a hot and humid smell of the sea, and standing at the entrance of the cave, I could just overlook the whole bay.
Indeed, as Kayla introduced before, the two foothills embraced the bay, and the area of this bay was not small, Xiao Feng grew up by the sea since he was a child, but he was also shocked by the beautiful seascape in front of him.
The sea is blue, not green, indicating that the seabed here is very deep, and it is really a natural harbor, and the foothills extend to the junction of the sea level, and there is a long gentle slope, which is currently covered by greenery, but if all the greenery is cut down, it should be possible to develop a large flat land suitable for building houses, and the terrain is very suitable for building a city.
The most important thing is that there are several rivers that meander down from the top of the mountain and flow into the sea below, which in turn provides plenty of fresh water for the people who will live here.
This place is really amazing, Xiao Feng is very satisfied, even on the earth, there are not many places like the natural harbor here.
In his opinion, the topography of this place is very similar to that of Ludagang in China, but the area of the bay embraced by the mountains is much larger than that of Ludagang, and the gentle slope area in the bay is also very large, the sea water is also deeper than Ludagang, and the temperature environment is much better than that of Ludagang.
The castle on the south side of the hill can provide various living facilities for the boats in the bay, and the castle on the north side of the hill can also obtain a steady stream of daily necessities from the plains to the north.
And to the right, you can hold the big river, and even if the enemy attacks from the sea, it will be difficult to break through the bend.
This is really a natural place to build a city, if it develops well, this is the cradle of the future marine civilization!
Xiao Feng was very satisfied with the location of the city and the construction concept, but he didn't see Charlesman, so he casually asked Kayla Dao.
He was digging down the mountain in the cave, where the temperature was much higher than the castle to the north, and the climate was more humid, so the storage of supplies was very problematic.
He wanted to follow the example of the north, digging a few ice reservoirs in the mountains to prepare for future grain storage.
Xiao Feng didn't expect that this Charlesman could still think of this, and he couldn't help but rejoice, it was really right to rescue this scholar from the half-orc concentration camp back then.
He followed Kayla back to the cave, and sure enough, halfway through, he found that there were several forked caves on the right side of the cave, and then under the guidance of the construction crew, they drilled into one of the caves.
The cave was not badly extended, the winding down was a gentle slope, and it was not dim under the light of the oil lamps made of fierce fire oil, and soon they reached the bottom of the cave, where the temperature felt more than ten degrees lower than above.
The people above were already wearing short sleeves and even working shirtless, while the people here were all wearing leather jackets, and Kayla was shivering with cold.
Xiao Feng hurriedly took out two cotton coats from the space and put them on separately, the space of this cave has expanded very much, and it can be seen that Charlesman's plan for the cold storage is very large.
Suddenly, a firelight flashed not far ahead, under the illumination of the firelight, Xiao Feng saw clearly that it was a box car with wheels, on the top of the box car was a person operating an iron pipe, and on the other side was someone constantly pressing up and down a pressure pump, and then a series of fire oil sprayed out from the copper pipe, in front of the copper pipe was a cleverly designed igniter, the fire oil passed through the igniter, and it became a fire dragon, sprayed on the cold stone wall opposite...
