The yellow sand dunes that stretch as far as the eye can see, and the wind-eroded boulders dotted in between, are all scorched by the blazing sunlight cast in the direction of the sky as if they were natural teppanyaki. (Please search Bayi Chinese Net, the fastest updated novel website!)

When a hot wind seems to blow from an oven blows through this wind-eroded landscape, and the flowing air makes a strange whining sound between the rock crevices, the dead silence of the Gobi scene seems to extend to the end of the world.

The dizzying sunlight causes the temperature of the sand rises sharply, and the heat rising from the surface heats the air, making the distant scenery look like a dreamscape full of illusions.

Luo Zhengdao and the pirates got off the boat and crossed the sand dune ridges and salt flats adjacent to the coastline with a few salt-tolerant plants. This is not just a few lines written on paper, Luo Zhengdao no longer doubts that the text describes how unlivable the climate of this ghost place is, and the investigators described it without exaggeration. According to Luo Zhengdao's personal feelings, the blazing heat that can make people faintly painful through the heavy boots under his feet, this temperature comparable to a hot pot, he can't help but think evilly, is it possible to lean over and bury a raw egg, and after a few minutes, you can eat a cooked egg?

"Well, this place is desolate and the environment is terrible, but it's what I want! Hey, hurry up and ask that Master Steve to disembark and ask him to choose a location to build the Mage Tower! ”

With a meaningless sigh, Luo Zhengdao beckoned the pirates to start working, building the mage tower is a very high-tech job, not simply piling up building materials, there are many doorways and sayings in it, and laymen can't figure out the tricks inside.

Each mage tower in the New World can be considered a complex structure, belonging to the kind of sparrows that are small and well-organized, so that the fully functional mage tower is almost a self-sufficient and impregnable magical fortress. Of course, the prerequisite for this definition is that there must be a skilled arcanist in the mage tower, and then it can be said that the various functions are functional. For example, Luo Zhengdao's two pieces of waste wood mage advisors, the combined abilities of the two of them can ensure the supply of food and water on time, Luo Zhengdao has to burn high incense, hoping that too many things will be struck by lightning.

Surveying the barren and almost barren Wake Reef, despite the extremely harsh surroundings, has reduced a lot of hassle in terms of actual workload, and who calls this place a wide view!

It didn't take much time to prepare, but on a piece of the Gobi Desert more than a dozen kilometers away from the coast, Master Steve Shire, who was often nostrils turned to the sky, quickly tapped the staff in his hand a few times against the hard bedrock under his feet, and said lazily:

"Well, this is the dragon vein node on the island, which is what naturalists call a treasure land of feng shui."

The predecessor of the Emperor who came to the New World more than a thousand years before Luo Zhengdao, not only did he rise to prominence in the New World, becoming the founding monarch of the Bright Dynasty from a down-and-out nobleman, but he also devoted himself to introducing cultures and concepts from the Old World. Although this monarch made unremitting efforts to spread and promote Chinese culture throughout his life, in the end, he was not able to completely reinvent the Guangming Dynasty and replicate it into another Chixian Shenzhou, and his many efforts left some traces in history and folklore, and the theory of leyline feng shui with new world characteristics is one of them.

Unlike the old world, before entering the Industrial Revolution, people who delved into technology were regarded as vulgar craftsmen, and were generally considered to be the best by the upper class. In this new world of professions with a variety of in-demand knowledge such as alchemy and arcane, people have a rather fanatical interest in learning new knowledge and getting in touch with new things.

Since the rise of Feng Shui, which had been vigorously promoted by the Emperor of Light during his reign, mages and naturalists in the New World began to sort out and analyze the concepts contained in it, and finally they proved through various means that there was a leyline energy system similar to that of the Old World in the New World. It may be due to slight differences in the structure of the world, and in many places, the old world feng shui theory needs to be revised to fit into practice. After thousands of years of hard work, this Feng Shui discipline has become one of the compulsory subjects for mages, especially in the design and exploration of site selection, and the importance of the use of Feng Shui has been raised to an indispensable special level.

For example, D&D running group or something, Luo Zhengdao also played with a few classmates who had a good relationship with him when he was in college, he was the kind of mass player who everyone played and I came to join in the fun, and I couldn't remember if everyone didn't play, just to not be rejected by the collective and choose to follow the crowd. However, being born in a real-world world is not the same as the complexity of a fantasy role-playing game. No matter how rich one's imagination is, or how boring it is, it is impossible for players whose ultimate goal is to have fun to think through all the details of building a mage tower.

If it is said that it is necessary to play a game and still need to make up for the brain to such a point, it is estimated that it will not be far from being dragged by Professor Yang, who has earned tens of millions of net worth by treating Internet addicted teenagers, to accept the "whip of love"!

In short, the location of a mage tower in the New World needs to take into account the extraction of leyline energy to meet daily energy consumption, and the absurd idea of providing the multiple functions of the mage tower based on the mage's own meditation and the natural accumulation of the elemental pool inside the mage tower is too bizarre to try to light a match to provide heat for the steelmaking furnace. Even if you know what you need to do, the high-tech Mage Tower site selection activity is not a difficult task that ordinary mages can handle, and it has to be a powerful arcane master.

To say that although Luo Zhengdao spent a lot of money, it is not bad luck to be able to invite this Steve Shire ** master with elf blood to help, and most of the time, no matter how much money he spends, he may not be able to find the right candidate!

"Rumble ......"

At this time, as Steve Charles raised his staff to announce the official start of construction, the barren land beneath the pirates' feet made a low rumbling sound, like a wounded beast groaning in pain, and the pirates who were unstable on their feet could only support each other to avoid falling to the ground. At this moment, everyone present couldn't help but turn a little pale, and it is not difficult to understand why the mage is called the son of the wizarding world after seeing this kind of big move that can be called the world's own son, take a look at this pomp and circumstance, it is strong enough and dazzling in all aspects! Later, the tremor of the ground continued to intensify, and soon, a towering white spire slowly rose from the sand, and Luo Zhengdao couldn't help but think of the spring bamboo shoots that had just emerged from the ground.

Witnessing a giant building stretching up close is comparable to watching a documentary about the construction of a skyscraper in a fast-forward shot, and even a traveler like Luo Zhengdao who has seen the world feels dizzy. I can't complain that those who have gone to the world of magic background have devoted themselves to the cause of magic research without hesitation, and the temptation to master this great power is not small, compared to fighting with people with swords, guns, swords, halberds, and halberds, it is not at the same level at all, and the poor ** silk and the handsome rich are not as sad as this gap.

"Done!"

After laughing proudly, Master Steve Shire, who was accustomed to looking at people through his nostrils, turned around and said to Luo Zhengdao and the others arrogantly:

"Hey, what about the promised reward when the work is done?"

"Here, Master Charles, you've worked hard."

After that, Luo Zhengdao waved his hand at Faure Chopin, and more than a dozen sailors put bags of gold Plantagenet coins in front of him, Steve Charles didn't even look at it, and with a wave of his sleeves, he put the gold coins on the ground into the space equipment. Just like this, he still seemed to be dissatisfied, and still frowned and said:

"If it weren't for my last few hard practices, I wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to such trivial matters. Oh, by the way, I'll send a boat to the nearby elven colony, and I'll have to hurry back to continue my work. ”

Although Luo Zhengdao doesn't like the domineering posture of this ** teacher very much, who told you to take the initiative to ask for help! Seeing this, he smiled bitterly and instructed his subordinates:

"No problem, Master Charles. For, use the Zhiyuan to carry Master Charles to his designated port. ”

"Yes, Lord Count."

finally sent away this master Steve Shire, whose temper and ability were also enough to make people scratch his head, and it was difficult to serve to a considerable level, Luo Zhengdao finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then, with a stern expression, he said to the pirates:

"Alright, the Mage Tower has been built, and it's time for us to get down to business. Inform all warships to begin unloading, we are going to establish a settlement here, and Wake Reef will be an important base and pillar for us in the future. ”

Deciding to establish a settlement, it was clear that no permanent place of residence would work, and the first step for the pirates to take root on Wake Reef was to build a house. The magnitude of the difficulties they encountered was obvious, and it was a maddening problem to build a large number of shared houses in a barren land where even weeds were about to turn into scarce resources.

The use of cheap wooden buildings that are more common in this era is not in line with the reality, not to mention how to solve the problem of harvesting and transportation of a large number of logs, in a place where the weather is dry and the wind is howling, a large number of wood is used to build a house, and the end is likely to be a fire and only a piece of charcoal ash will be left in a blink of an eye, fortunately, Luo Zhengdao has long been mentally prepared for this.

Fine-grained volcanic ash is one of the most primitive cements, and in the old world, the Romans who guarded Mount Vesuvius used pozzolanic cement to make primitive concrete, which is of good quality according to later researchers. Volcanic ash, which was not easy to find in the Old World, is common in the vast New World, where the land is abundant, and although it is not clear how geological movements are created here, volcanoes are not uncommon. Assuming that a certain proportion of lime powder is added to the pozzolana with a sufficiently fine particle size, this simplest pozzolana cement can be used as a building material for cemented stone, even if the building quality is not as good as the real cement, it is more than enough to meet the practical needs of Luo Zhengdao.
