Chapter 1040: Magic Light Bulb
The Cardinal Squad of the Knights of the Guards has been formed, and twenty-six fire-attribute elite Earth Knights have all signed a contract with Cardinal Bird with the help of Liszt.
The Cardinal Squad will serve as the first knights to defend the Flame King's City.
Of course, they are only reserves, and they must wait for Cardinals to really establish a close relationship with them and will not rebel before they can determine the real Cardinal Squad formation. In any case, this group of knights will be the backbone of the future Burning Legion, and they will also be the knights directly under the Flame Family.
The Flame King City they defended had not yet been completely built, but it had basically formed the main framework.
In such a magical fantasy world, although the construction industry is not developed enough, as long as you are willing to spend resources and mobilize magicians to participate in the construction. The speed and quality of construction and the difficulty of building are definitely more efficient than the high-tech construction methods on earth.
It just so happened that the Moonkiller natives on the Flame Island relied on magical dust to train a large number of ancient magicians.
They participate in the construction, take on the hardest part, and make the city construction skyrocket. Not to mention the fact that there are also magic guilds that coordinate behind the scenes and develop more building crafts. The Flame King City is the highest test platform for the architectural level of the Flame Kingdom, and it is an overall plan.
Most of the cities under the knightly system were spontaneous accumulation, and there was no complete urban planning.
However, the Flame King City was planned as a large city with a population of 500,000 from the beginning, with streets and blocks arranged in a radial pattern. At the very center is the city's landmark, a huge stone gate - the Arc de Triomphe, which is Liszt's bad taste, imitating Paris, France.
A north-south avenue runs through the Arc de Triomphe. This avenue is called the Gilded Avenue, and it can drive ten carriages side by side, that is, the distance between twenty war horses.
In addition to this gilded avenue, there are five avenues that cross the Arc de Triomphe – of course, because of the direction of the Arc de Triomphe, these roads can only circle around the Arc de Triomphe, forming a large turntable around it. Only the gilded avenue can pass through the Arc de Triomphe unimpeded.
Five avenues and gilded avenues divide the Flame King City into twelve radial fan-shaped areas.
Follow in a clockwise direction.
The area from 12 o'clock to 1 o'clock is the administrative area, the area from 1 o'clock to 2 o'clock is the education area, and the area from 2 o'clock to 3 o'clock is the green area;
The area from 3 to 4 o'clock is the commercial area, the area from 4 to 5 o'clock is the residential area, and the area from 5 to 6 o'clock is the commercial area;
The area from 6 a.m. to 7 a.m. is the Civilian Quarter, the area from 7 a.m. to 8 a.m. is the Storage Zone, and the area from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. is the Enchanted Zone.
The area from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. is the green area, the area from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. is the residential area of the nobility, and the area from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. is the military area.
Of course, this is only a rough distribution, and each fan-shaped area is divided by countless streets, and many small fragments are subdivided. For Liszt, who has a great pursuit of greening, he requires that every small area should have a park, and every small street should have an eye-catching public toilet.
All in all, the future Flame King City will be a tree-lined and clean city.
Cities in other countries are always accompanied by a large amount of feces, sewage and other filthy things, but in any city of the Flame Kingdom, he does not allow such uncivilized phenomena to exist - in fact, even if there is no official unified cleaning of excrement, those civilians will snatch the excrement away.
Dung can help crops grow, and it has become common knowledge that the civilians of the Flame Kingdom know.
Compared to the elves, which were so extravagant that only the nobles were qualified to master, dung could be produced by both humans and animals, and could help all crops. There are many small traders who specialize in selling manure, pulling manure from the city to the major plantations, so that the phenomenon of feces in the wild is no longer there - civilians keep the manure and sell it for money.
Noble lords will buy manure for farming at a high price.
But there is one problem, and that is that transporting manure from cities inevitably pollutes the air. Liszt asked the Flame King to build underground tunnels that were so spacious that horse-drawn carriages could run in them. The manure is transported out of the city through underground tunnels.
Now.
Returning from the Fengqi Sycamore Forest with the Red Finch Squad, Liszt stayed in the Flame King City to inspect, and the place he inspected today was the sewer system.
At the moment, no one has lived in the Flame King City, so the sewers have not yet started to transport feces and sewage.
"Light is a big problem, the underground tunnel is very deep, and this is a place where the light does not shine, and it is easy to breed evil here. Liszt said to Galtai and the others who accompanied him, who he had sent to supervise the construction of the Flame King City.
The former knight of the Broken Lord is now a viscount and a member of the Development Committee.
"Your Majesty, when the Flame King City is running, I will instruct the Royal City Administration to form a special patrol knight group to protect the safety of the underground passages and never let any filth survive here!" Galtai said loudly, following Liszt's continuous rise in status, he has adapted well to his current status.
Although the strength is still a poor trainee knight, but as Liszt's spokesperson, he will not be arrogant.
"The inspection is definitely inspected, after all, in addition to transporting manure, sewage, and garbage, some of the underground tunnels are used as emergency passages and material passages...... However, if the light problem is not solved, it will always be a hidden danger, and the magic guild has not developed the results yet?"
"I don't know this yet, the management of the Magic Guild is not part of my division of labor, the two presidents of Chrissy and Kenley should be clear, Your Majesty, do you need to contact them?"
The members of the development committee have their own division of labor, and it is easy not to cross the line.
William Tulip, the chairman, is in charge of the overall situation, Vice Chairman Di Maria Yuhuashi is in charge of diplomacy, Emily is in charge of the military, Piero Gray Iron is in charge of trade, Elton Golden Ju is in charge of agriculture, Geoffrey Fleur is in charge of justice, Durt Hongxingguo is in charge of communications, and Paris is in charge of finance.
Galtai Mast was in charge of the city, and Marcus Wheel was in charge of education...... There are two special commissioners, Chrissy Truth is in charge of the Magic Guild's outreach to the various departments of the Fire Kingdom, and Kenley Truth is in charge of the Magic Guild's scientific research.
"Get in touch. ”
Liszt said.
Soon Galtai instructed his assistant to send a message through the magic platform and contact Chrissy and Kenley. Liszt asked directly: "I asked the magic guild to develop the magic bulb, how is the progress of your research and development?"
"Your Majesty, there have been preliminary results, and the problem of magic glow has been solved, but glass products cannot replace crystals, and magic cannot be used steadily. And now we have not found a material that can replace crystal, and we have not yet developed the magic bulb that His Majesty wants. ”
Magic bulbs, as the name suggests, are made with magic bulbs.
There should be a physical phenomenon of magnetism and electricity in this world, but Liszt does not understand this aspect, and he can't develop it in depth, after all, even the steam engine has not yet been explored. So he decided to avoid electricity and use magic directly to achieve some high-tech.
The magic light bulb is one of the ideas, there is already a magic equipment such as crystal lamps, and now it is nothing more than the cheap mass production of crystal lamps.
Once the magic bulb is developed, the city will be able to light up at night, which will greatly increase the working hours.
In the past, most people obediently went to bed at night, but with the magic bulb, they can at least work until midnight with the lamp, which will definitely greatly improve labor efficiency.
Liszt couldn't help urging Chrissy and Kenley: "Hurry up as soon as possible, break through the shackles of thinking, explore more materials, even the magic glow has been solved, what is the difficulty of finding a suitable carrier! Tell those arcanists, whoever can find the right materials, I will fund him to set up his own magic laboratory!"
