Section 152 Development (5)
"You, from now on, will live here for a long time, because, from this day onwards, a new city will be born at your feet, and you who are standing here now will be the creators and witnesses of this miracle!"
Moon Shadow won't say anything if it's too windy, but it's just to boost morale, it's not that difficult, except for those dragon warriors who are happy and angry, the eyes of those engineers are shining.
Moon Shadow gave the order, and the dragon warriors were in charge of clearing and guarding the field, while the engineers were busy unloading supplies and preparing to start work.
She also had a preliminary idea of the city to be built, which was further refined by the designer Le Mans and became a perfect plan.
The island lacks the stone needed for construction, but the last time Moon Shadow came to the island, he found a place where the clay is perfect for making bricks, and the work is not very difficult, just filter out the impurities in the clay, and then use a specific mold to make it into a brick, and then dry it in the sun, and then burn it with firewood.
The goblin craftsman was able to grasp Moonshadow's intentions very correctly, and she had only described it to them, and thousands of brick molds had been made.
There is no technical difficulty in making bricks, thousands of sets of brick molds are used at the same time, millions of bricks are continuously processed, when the number accumulates to a certain number, Moon Shadow will draw out some people to prepare firewood, and burn those bricks that have been sun-dried---- temperature is probably the most technical step in the brick-making process. ^^Starting^^
The dragon warriors and trainees who stayed in the temporary camp by the sea have also arrived with the follow-up supplies, relieving some of the manpower tensions. Under the command of Moon Shadow, the trainees first built the dried bricks into a large kiln, and then transported the prepared firewood into it. Bricks are placed in a square around firewood and ventilation holes are left.
Due to manpower and site constraints, only 100,000 bricks entered the kiln...... One more point. I didn't learn how to make bricks when Moon Shadow traveled through it, and this is all a memory left when I watched popular science books and TV. Whether it will succeed or not, she has no bottom at all.
In order to prevent the kiln fire from going out, Moon Shadow assigned twenty students to take turns on duty at night, and also sent an alchemist to take notes ---- collect data for the next step of brick making.
Forty-eight hours later, the results were already taking shape. The cyan bricks are steaming hot, and they need to be further cooled before they can be released from the kiln.
Unfortunately, Moon Shadow doesn't know how cement and concrete are made. However, she found a very sticky seaweed on the beach. This seaweed clings to the reef and can be found everywhere and is able to extract an extremely sticky gum. Brushing a layer on the brick surface is better than the stucco used in construction. Therefore, as soon as she got on the island, she found two alchemists to boil glue with a group of people.
With these matters almost arranged, Lunaris handed over the construction of the castle to Le Mans, and Ferdinand naturally took care of the guards, while she and Phoenix prepared to make a trip to the slave auction house in Port Prince.
If it was just her and Phoenix, it would have been quicker to fly to Port Prince. However, Lunaris didn't know where to go to Port Prince, so Charlotte had a guide to fly with him...... Forget it.
Thinking of speed, comfort, and time-saving ...... "Senior, I'm going to bother you this time!" Moon Shadow smiled and summoned Old Xuanwu out---- I don't know if it was intentional, Old Xuanwu who was meditating was suddenly summoned, and it was not happy. Even more depressingly. It found that there was sea water beneath it, and its limbs were in a hurry. Finally, there is no shame in sinking to the bottom.
Sidro was a natural pirate---- not how talented he was as a pirate (do pirates need talent?). ), but since his great-grandfather's generation, he has been engaged in this job with no capital, but with money.
It's just that in Sidro's generation, this famous family in the pirate world began to decline, the main reason is that Sidro's body is really not suitable for being a pirate, and later, he joined Charlotte and is responsible for finding out the news.
This time, the Boss ...... Now it should be said that he is the deputy head of the regiment, and he is really flattered to transfer him back to be a guide for the lord---- lord is a magician, he has made up his mind that he must find a way to stay with the lord, even if it is to be a groom.
However, as soon as he got on the dock today, he was startled, and the young lord didn't even move his hand, and conjured a huge turtle out of thin air, a magician...... It's really mysterious!
When I was on the island, I only felt that the breeze was gusting and my body was comfortable, but when I got to the sea, I found that the wind was still stronger, but Lao Xuanwu did not lie, in the undulating waves, it was like a moving reef, galloping forward steadily and quickly, no matter how big the waves, as soon as they approached it, they disappeared silently, much more comfortable than taking a boat.
"Huh! There's a ship there, and it looks like it's in trouble. ”
Moon Shadow's gaze suddenly turned to the side behind her, and a sailboat appeared in her field of vision, and she noticed that the sail of that ship seemed to have a hole in it, and there were signs of scorching on it.
In a few moments, the ship was fully in view---- it was a typical commercial sailing ship, and five clippers were closely following it, and on the top of the masts of the five clippers, all of them were hoisting gray skeleton flags, and the white skeleton symbols were hunting and flying in the wind, which was especially hideous and terrifying.
"Yes...... It's a gray skeleton! ”
Sidro's little face turned pale with fright, it was a bloodthirsty gray skeleton, although the lord was said to be a very powerful magician, and the super giant turtle under his feet also seemed to be very good, but ...... That's five ships, nearly a thousand pirates, and just using people as sandbags will crush people to death. "Don't be nervous, who is the merchant ship they're chasing?"
Phoenix looked at Sidro pitifully frightened and patted him on the shoulder, signaling that he didn't need to panic.
"Yes...... It is from the Hapulus firm. ”
Although he was still nervous, this did not affect Sidro's judgment, and he had already seen the sign on the merchant ship.
"Well, that's our friend."
Moon Shadow said to Phoenix, "Phoenix, do your friends a favor and educate these guys by the way, so that they don't stretch their skeleton claws too long and catch them out of bounds!" ”
"Yes, Your Highness, as you wish!"
Phoenix agreed, and a white ball of fighting energy wrapped around him and soared into the air, flying like a big bird in the direction of the pirate ship.
