Chapter 456 Calculation of construction period
The construction of Hwaseong Fortress did not happen overnight. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Such a huge project, if it was left in ancient times on the earth, often required tens of thousands of people's efforts for ten years, or even decades to complete.
If it is placed in the rest of the tribes of the Great Wilderness, it will take time, or even longer, and it may not be possible to complete it in several generations.
However, all this, placed in Huacheng and under Wang Hao's hands, is much simpler.
Gollums are natural architects.
They were able to build the most neat hives without the use of any measuring tools.
The drawings of the building, they only need to look at them, they can remember them, and then the drawings do not need to be read a second time, and they do not need any measuring tools to build a building that is exactly the same as the drawings on a certain scale.
Under the leadership of the Gollums, the walls of Hwaseong are slowly but surely increasing every day.
In view of the limit of 1,000 people in the Great Wilderness, all the people of Hwaseong were moved out.
Even the Black Armor Army was stationed in a village eighteen miles away. This is the closest village to Hwaseong, and if you stand on a high point in that village, you can even see the factory buildings in Hwaseong.
With such a close distance, if there is any emergency in Hwaseong, the Black Armor Army can arrive in the shortest possible time.
The entire Hwaseong was inhabited by more than 800 well-trained construction workers and more than 10,000 savages.
To say that they are well trained, in fact it means that they know how to lay bricks.
Although Hwaseong Fortress is a grand project, the level of construction required is very low. Just keep stacking bricks.
Wang Hao built such a city wall for the purpose of defense, so hardness became the only criterion for Hwaseong.
It doesn't need to be flashy, and it doesn't need to be strategic.
As long as the walls of Hwaseong are hard enough to be damaged by ordinary third-level creatures, then the people hiding in the holes in the walls will be invincible.
At that time, only the people of Hwaseong beat others, and there was no chance for others to beat them.
Wang Hao believed that under the repeated bombardment of ballistas, eight-bull crossbows, black crystal bombs, fire melons, incendiary bombs made of gasoline, and a large number of black powder bombs that might be produced, Hwaseong would definitely be able to defend the monster siege.
The construction of Hwaseong Fortress became a repetitive mechanical movement.
Compared with the earthlings, the people of the Great Wilderness all belong to the perverted level of Hercules.
Even if it is a wild man, the strength of one person is equivalent to the strength of four or five adult men on the earth.
Therefore, without the mixer, the cement produced by manpower can be fully supplied.
Without the big trucks that pull bricks, a two-wheeled wooden cart can transport bricks to where they are needed.
When more than 10,000 savages, under the command of more than 100 people, did their best to serve the more than 800 construction workers in Hwaseong, the more than 800 construction workers really enjoyed the top service.
No matter where they worked, they would be able to reach bricks and bricks with their hands, scoop brick knives, and cement in the cement baskets made of animal crusts around them.
If they are thirsty, they only need to shout, and in less than a minute, a wild man will feed them water.
When eating, their food is at least the size of two people, and it is a combination of meat and vegetables.
Everything in Hwaseong is based on the construction of the city wall, and nothing can resist the importance of the city wall.
Like burning cement, in the mountains across the river, dozens of vertical kilns are started at one time, because the distance is too scattered, and there is no talk of a population limit.
As for the firing of bricks, except for a small number of special-shaped bricks, the rest of the ordinary bricks can be fired in various villages around Hwaseong.
When it was finished, the villages would take the asphalt road and transport it to Hwaseong.
At this time, the villages finally understood the role of Wang Hao in building asphalt roads in the first place. With the asphalt road, the villages were not too far apart, and they were all connected together.
These things that can be scattered have been scattered by Wang Hao.
But only bricklaying, the final step of the construction of Hwaseong, can only be completed by these more than 800 construction workers one by one.
Fortunately, with the command of the Gollums, the builders of Hwaseong did not need to take any detours, and even those necessary flat water and hanging vertical lines on the earth could save them.
Then with the help of the savages, they don't need to mix the cement, they don't need to transport the bricks, they just need to keep stacking bricks from morning to night.
If you look at the drawings of Hwaseong, a section of the city wall is a narrow and long cuboid.
It is twenty-five meters high, thirty meters wide, and two thousand meters long.
In this way, it has a volume of 1.5 million square meters.
And such a wall has four sections, so if you count it, it is 6 million square meters.
On Earth, an ordinary red brick measures 0.24 meters long, 0.115 meters wide, and 0.053 meters thick.
However, the thickness of the bricks in the Great Wilderness is more than double that of this, and the width is the same as that of 0.115 meters.
Therefore, the volume of a brick is almost 0.0032 square meters.
After a simple calculation, Wang Hao came to the conclusion that if he wanted to complete the construction of Huacheng, a total of 1.875 billion bricks would be needed.
With so many bricks, if only 800 people were to yard them, the number of bricks needed for one person would be 2,343,750 pieces.
On Earth, a skilled builder is able to lay about 1,300 bricks a day.
And the builders of Hwaseong, because anything that wasted their time was completed by the savages in advance, plus their strength far exceeded that of the earthlings, so the speed of bricklaying would be at least three times faster than that of the construction workers on the earth.
In other words, almost a great wilderness man can lay 4,000 bricks a day.
Then, if you build more than 2 million bricks and 4,000 bricks a day, it will take 586 days to finish it.
The weather is too cold to start when the cement will freeze and crack, and you can't start work when it rains, snows, or hails.
If you calculate this way, 586 days of work will take almost three years to complete.
The seemingly huge Hwaseong Fortress, under such a careful calculation, did not take too long to build.
In three years, Wang Hao can afford to wait.
When Wang Hao and Wang Long talked about the vision of Hwaseong, Wang Hao once described Hwaseong after the construction was completed like Wang Lung.
Although Wang Lung looked yearning, he didn't think that he would be able to live to that day.
But now it seems that as long as there are no accidents, Wang Lung can completely see what the completed Hwaseong City looks like.
