On the bank of the Ness River, Qin Song stood with his hands in his hands, staring at the rushing river. The distance between the Sage Canyon and the Black Stone Collar is actually not too far, the only obstacle is the river in front of you, which is about twenty meters wide, if there is a bridge here, you can save a lot of time.

Alice and Luna stood obediently behind him, looking at the tall figure, staring quietly at the river, the gorgeous lines on the robes, the ripples of light.

The silent and quiet thinking demeanor makes people involuntarily respect.

"Alice, there's a need for a connecting hub. Qin Song pointed to the river: "This will save a lot of time and make it more convenient to communicate." ”

"yes. Alice nodded a little frustratedly: "But we don't have a craftsman to build the bridge." ”

"No, Alice. A hub is more than just a bridge. Qin Song smiled, although the span of this river is not too large, with the current technical conditions, it is not realistic to build a bridge here.

"Why not think about it another way, like a ship?"

"That's right!" Alice was stunned for a moment, only to realize that her thinking was still a little rigid, this seemingly uncrossable river could be crossed by a small boat. As a port town, Dodantown has shipbuilding craftsmen.

"When I see Leah, I'll ask her to order a few boats. ”

"There will be bridges, too. Qin Song nodded lightly, and continued to take the two of them along the riverbank, walking gracefully.

As a messenger, Mons had traveled to Blackstone Fort to inform Leah and Linda that they were meeting on the only bridge over the River Ness. Given Qin Song's current peculiar image, it is not a good time to appear in front of the public public.

As a typical Chinese person, looking at the endless land by the river, flat and fertile, and close to the water source, the first thought is - it is a pity not to use it to grow crops.

When they came to the rudimentary wooden bridge, Leah, Linda, and Elena were already waiting. After a period of greetings between the sisters, Lia followed the instructions of the gods and told Qin Song about her troubles.

"The weather is nice today, let's take a walk together. Qin Song didn't answer, but took a group of witches and walked quietly along the riverbank.

He didn't speak, and the witches were silent.

After walking for a while, Qin Song bent down, looked at a piece of bare ground, found a branch and dug for a while, grabbed a handful of red clay from it, and twisted it in his hand, which was delicate and smooth, slightly sticky.

Good quality clay can be used to burn bricks, or mixed with limestone to make cement.

"Qin, do you have a lot of knowledge in the soil?" Luna leaned over curiously and grabbed a handful of clay from the pit, "I used them to pinch a lot of small animals when I was a child, and it was especially fun to dry them. ”

"Luna, knowledge is everywhere. Qin Song nodded lightly: "Soil is the greatest gift of the gods, not only can it be used to grow crops, but also many, many wonderful uses that you can't imagine. ”

Alice seemed to be pondering his words and replied, "Qin, I know a use. Clay can also be used as a mold. ”

"That's right. Qin Song stood up, patted off the soil in his hand, and faced the curious witches: "The nobles live in stone castles, and the serfs live in wooden sheds, who knows what the reason is?"

"Because the serfs are poor. Elena gave the most straightforward answer.

"Because the status of the nobility is noble. Linda's answer was also very straightforward.

However, Alice, who was a nobleman, fell into deep thought, this question sounded simple, but she knew that Qin Song must be testing her, and after thinking seriously for a while, she said: "Because it is very difficult to build a castle, it requires a lot of stones and craftsmen, and it takes several years to complete the construction. And the Black Stone Collar was too weak and impoverished to build more castles, and even building stone houses was a luxury. ”

"I know, I know. Luna also raised her hand and said, "I heard from my father that grinding the stone into a flat and usable stone is particularly labor-intensive. Our stone fort in the royal capital took two years to build. ”

The last to answer was a contemplative Leah: "The castle was not only a status symbol for the nobility, but also a military fortress that provided shelter to the lords. In fact, living in a castle is not something to enjoy. The room was dark and damp, and there were many rats and pests. ”

"You're all very good. Qin Song nodded: "Raw materials are difficult, construction is difficult, and only nobles with corresponding financial resources can support it." But if there is a material that is cheap and easy to use, it can be as hard as a stone. So, what will be the result?"

Cheap and easy to use, can it be as strong as a stone? Alice's eyes gradually lit up, and she understood that Qin Song was not talking about playing, but that this material really existed.

Liya's eyes were also shining: "Then all serfs will no longer live in simple wooden sheds." ”

"Wow, is there really such a material?" Luna's eyes were shining, she had lived in the stone castle since she was a child, and since her exile, she had lived in a cave for a long time before moving to a wooden house in the camp. She knew how it felt, and at night, the cold wind would blow in through the cracks in the planks, whining and screaming, terrible.

Qin Song smiled without saying a word, and continued to walk slowly.

A group of witches are like cat scratches in their hearts, but they don't dare to ask.

After walking for a while, we reached the mouth of the Ness River, and there were towering cliffs on both sides, and the cliffs were full of rubble. Qin Song searched carefully for a while, and picked up a stone with a gray-white section, which would deposit a large amount of thick limestone due to the perennial sea invasion, which was simply a natural cement raw material.

"Linda, the gods have given you the power of the rock. Did you know that there is such wonderful knowledge in the rocks?"

Linda pondered for a moment: "The gods told me that a black stone can burn for a long time. I found it in the southern part of the Blackstone Realm, but—and he warned me that there was some danger in that stone. The final usage is to make magic powder to expel sea monsters. ”

"The wisdom of the gods is beyond our reach. Qin Song bragged about himself shamelessly before handing the stone to Linda's hand: "We have also discovered a lot of wonderful knowledge from the stone. The material I just mentioned is made of soft clay and hard stone. Also, Linda, the blackstone you found. If I'm not mistaken, it's a fuel that can be used for heating and production. ”

"Well, I've got one with me. It had long been Linda's habit to carry rocks with her and collect all kinds of stones, but Blackstone was too easy to get her hands dirty, so she only brought a small piece, and the rest had smooth pebbles of various colors and unknown strips.

"Everything in nature is not isolated, but there is a wonderful connection between them. When you are inspired by the gods and continue to explore and learn, you can find this connection, which is knowledge. ”

"Clay and stone, as the composition of the earth. They are inherently interconnected, and what we have to do is to make it happen and bring happiness to the general public. ”

The witches' expressions became very reverent, and the feeling of listening to knowledge was wonderful.

"Leah, in my canyon, it's just like you. Faced with the problem of surviving the winter. So, I thought, we can join forces and build shelters for your people and my warriors that are strong enough to shelter from the elements. ”

"That's fine, Blackstone Collar is willing to help you in any way he can. Leah smiled heartily, "And us, waiting for your dispatch at any time." ”

The preliminary cooperation intention is reached, and the next step is to negotiate the detailed rules. said that it was a discussion, but in fact, it was completely decided by Qin Song, and everyone raised their hands to agree.

The bloodline of the infrastructure madness has always flowed in Qin Song's veins. Red bricks and cement will kick off the construction.
