Lannisport.

The main castle of the Count of Ode, the reception hall.

Long tables.

Earl Odd and Grey Scholar Bancrof stood at the long table, and the precious daughter Rosamon Lannister stood between them, her big eyes twinkling and her face full of wonder as Jane Westerling drew a strange figure with a quill on a piece of parchment.

Sinkbend.

It was a secret that Sir Gregor had refused to reveal.

A few days ago, when Earl Ode had gone to Cregan to sign a cooperation agreement with Sir Gregor for a noodle restaurant, Earl Ode went to the latrine and noticed a surprising detail.

There was no noticeable smell in the latrines in Fort Krigane.

The Count looked everywhere and saw no secrets.

The water washed down the crater, and it was still pitch black. However, there was not a single smell coming back from the pipes.

And in the latrine of the earl's own castle, the smell was not expelled for a long time.

As long as it is a latrine, even in Kaiyan City, Duke Tywin's latrine is decorated with gold, which is resplendent and splendid, but it still smells.

Because the sewage pipe and the space of the house are connected, the circulation of air will inevitably bring about the flow of odors in the air.

However, the latrines in Fort Krigan did not have the obvious unpleasant odor.

The latrine window was open, incense candles were lit in the corner, and there was a faint sense of freshness in the air.

The smell is gone.

This amazed the Count.

The Count had consulted Gregor at Fort Klegane, but Gregor ignored the Count's question and moved on to other unrelated topics.

Today, Sir Gregor sent Miss Jenny and Earl Gavin to Castle Rock to prepare for the wedding, and the time was short, and there were five days left before the date set by Earl Tywin.

The wedding takes place in Castle Rock, and Tywin is hosting as Janie's father.

Gregor and Jane and their entourage will definitely pass by Lannisport when they go to Castle Rock City, so everyone comes to visit Count Ode, and the guests of honor have a very happy exchange, during the dinner, Count Ode again asks for the secret of eliminating the smell of the latrine, so Gregor consults with Miss Jane, the inventor, and Miss Jane agrees to tell the secret to Count Ode.

Jenny asked for a pen and paper and drew a partial structure of a sewage pipe buried under a latrine: a submersible bend.

Jane finished drawing, the annotation was not finished, and the gray-robed bachelor Bancrof had fully understood: the structure is very simple, that is, a straight pipe with an elbow in the middle, and the principle is even simpler, using the position of the elbow to isolate the air flow of the upper and lower pipes with water, so that the odor of the sewage tank can not enter the room through the sewage pipe.

To put it bluntly, I understand it, everything is very simple. It's easy to see, but the real challenge is how to think about it openly.

Geniuses and ordinary people are just a little bit worse: a breakthrough in thinking that is thinner than a layer of paper. At a glance, you can understand that it is so simple that it can't be simpler, but you just can't think of it and don't think about it.

Bancrof's surprise and admiration cannot be expressed in words.

"Miss Jenny, you are the smartest lady I have ever met, and if this sinking bend is placed in the school city, it will surely win the prize of whimsy in the field of basic construction. Bancrof's praise and admiration overflowed from his words.

The school city is the only place on the continent that trains bachelors.

School City, School City, that's really a city. It includes all fields of scientific research, astronomy, geography, machinery, agriculture, etc., which are completely sciences and have nothing to do with the occult. Although there are also studies on wizards and beliefs, it is only to improve the full coverage of the types and fields of the school, and has little to do with the occult, and is mainly based on the study of the evolution of religious beliefs.

Miss Jenny humbled herself: "Everyone understands the structure and principle of the sinking bend, but I was a little luckier, and I got the idea first and tried to make it, so don't praise me." ”

Earl Ode's eyes flashed: "Bachelor, if this sinking bend is taken to the school city to promote and apply for a bonus, how much reward will it get?"

"New inventions are rewarded according to their value, and one hundred golden dragons is the lowest award for all recognized inventions. If the school city is sold to the royal family and promoted nationwide, then Miss Jenny will get more bonuses, I think it should be between five hundred and one thousand gold dragons. In addition to money, there is also eternal honor. Jenny Westerling's name will be written into the whimsical characters of the city's basic architectural inventions, and will be known and praised by generations of undergraduate apprentices. ”

Gregor said, "Miss Jenny, would you like to make the invention of the Sinking Bend public, and spread it to the whole country through the school?" ”

Miss Jenny said, "Now that Clegane already has it, and the Earl of Lanniport Ode knows about it, I am willing to give the invention of the sinking bend to the school city, and then spread it to the whole country." But before I hand it over to the school, I'd like to ask my father, Lord Tywin, for his opinion. ”

Earl Odd, University Scholar Bancrof, Sir Gregor, Earl Gavin, and Maester Harry all nodded their heads together.

Under the seven steps, the big iron-headed Chiswick moved uneasily and anxiously.

Lord Magic Mountain agreed to come to Count Ode, and he promised him to come to the rescue of his brothers in the underground black cell of Lannisport. They had been here for so long, but Sir Gregor seemed to have forgotten the purpose of coming, first talking about the meaningless days, then drawing the structure of the sinking bend, and now discussing what national promotion, he really couldn't wait.

Beside Chiswick, Polivier and the other knights stood quietly and without any displeasure. Gna Ranney, the captain of Earl Odeh's guard, and the four centurions, Bard and Barrow, all stood silently at the foot of the seven steps, watching the adults discuss on the stage what they knew nothing about.

At some point, the clever part of the discussion at the long table on the high platform turned into a discussion of piracy in the waters of Lannisham, and Gregor said, "Earl, I have a way to add two more warships to your naval fleet to fight pirates. ”

Earl Odd was overjoyed: "Sir Gregor, please teach me how to do it." ”

Gregor looked at Chiswick at the bottom of the steps and said with a smile: "The Chiswick Knife Regiment used to have two warships, which were specially hired to take on the task of escorting convoys at sea. After Chiswick and his brother were captured by the adults, the brothers on the two ships went out to sea to become pirates. As long as the Lord releases those brothers in the underground black prison and lets Chiswick take them, he will go to the sea to persuade his former brothers of the Sword Regiment to surrender to the Lord and become a more glorious navy, which will not only have two more warships and two less ships of pirates. ”

Earl Odd laughed, "Good idea, I just don't know if Chiswick is willing to make this trip?"

Chiswick was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Lord Gregor has given an order, and I will do my best for Lord Earl, and promise that the brothers of those two ships will be willing to accept the adaptation and become a force in the Lord's navy." ”

"Okay, that's settled. Lord Gregor, you have given me the secret of the sinking bend and helped me add two more ships, what can I do for you, you say, I will do my best!"

Gregor said, "Earl, the battleship and its personnel are yours, and Chiswick and his dozen brothers are mine. ”

Miss Jane smiled: "Earl, there are still more than a dozen people left in the Clegon Hundred Cavalry Regiment, and although Lord Gregor's territory is much larger, there are few people in the territory, and it is difficult to even gather a hundred cavalry to protect the territory." ”

"Miss Jenny, Sir Gregor, in case Chiswick fails to bring down those two ships of pirates, I will make up the difference of a hundred cavalry for Klegane. Count Odd smiled and was in a good mood, "Since your Excellency has a Guards Cavalry Regiment, you must need a cavalry reserve to replenish it. So be it, Sir Gregor, after the wedding, come to me Lanniport to recruit a cavalry reserve, within fifty men, and I will give it to you. ”

Gregor knew that if Chiswick and his brothers were out of town, the pirates of the two ships would come. The Count spoke very beautifully, full of friendship, and actually got a great bargain.

But Gregor knew that he could not develop a navy, first of all, he had no port at all, and second, he could not develop his forces rapidly in the air, which would cause jealousy and suspicion.

There are not many soldiers!

Strive for perfection first!Do every step to the extreme!

"Well, Count, that's it. Gregor was the final word.
