Chapter 103: Mediterranean Style
About half an hour later, Tianxuan arrived at the first city of Twilight City with the engineering team of Lanmian City and Black.
When he arrived at his destination, Tianxuan immediately ordered the engineering team to lap light grooves at the W of the waterway, all the way to the barrier. Next, the professionals brought by Tianxuan took out something like a bat.
"What is this?" Blake asked.
"An upgraded version of the Photon Harvester!" Tianxuan raised his head and said proudly.
"Huh?" Blake looked surprised, and then stared closely: one of the alchemists with a bat pressed the button on the handle, and then with a "whew", an oval-shaped, thin blade of light appeared at the tip of the bat.
"What the hell is this for?" Blake asked, surprised.
"Saws!"
"Saws?"
"yes, I don't believe you!" Just as Tianxuan pointed at the alchemist, the light blade had already penetrated the barrier, and immediately after, a fan-shaped piece of glass was cut off. Tianxuan then proceeded to order his subordinates to continue to extend the groove beyond the barrier.
"Oh! I understand! Blake nodded with his chin in a figure-eight and said, "It's really the same way the saw operates." But ......," he turned his head and said angrily, "which one is like a saw, and the uprightness is to make you look like a stick." β
Tianxuan smiled and said, "It's over." This is what I have carefully researched, an ordinary saw, the handle is square, but the blade emits a jagged light blade, this kind of prop is too inefficient, and the grasp time is long, and the hand hurts. β
"Hey! I mean not you! Blake sighed, but then raised his thumb and said, "But you did a good job." β
In this way, it took about three days for the Lanmian City engineering team led by Tianxuan to connect all the six cities with eight-meter-wide grooves. Then, according to the original plan, a small hole was torn in the W-shape of the waterway.
Then, in an instant, the sea water flowed into the groove. Suddenly, the six cities were connected by a zigzag blue strip of water.
"It's finally done!" Blake looked at the water flow and said to Tianxuan with a smile.
"Nope! No! No! Tianxuan shook his head and said, "It's still early?" β
"What's wrong?" Blake asked, puzzled.
Tianxuan cleared his throat and said, "The distance between the six cities is still quite long, so for the sake of safety, we will also build several outposts along the way. You combat units should know very well where to set up a reasonable place! β
"Of course! Needless to say, wrap it up on me! Blake patted his chest and said confidently.
"Alright! Let's get started! With that, Tianxuan, with Blake's assistance, spent another five days surveying the terrain and building an outpost.
After the outpost was repaired, Tianxuan suggested that everyone rest for two days to recuperate. Then, on the third day, he assigned a new task.
Blake couldn't understand this, so he asked, "Acting City Lord, now that the waterways are connected and the outpost has been repaired, what else is there to do for you to be so excited?" β
Tianxuan smiled slightly and said: "Twilight City has been agreed by the above to become the city managed by our Lanmian City, so there will be a group of permanent personnel here in the future, and the next project to be carried out is to build public facilities such as housing." β
"You're in too much of a hurry, aren't you?"
"I can't help it, I've only been in office for two months, and since I've been here, I feel that I should solve all these problems at once." Tianxuan said with a look of longing.
"Hmmm! That's right! Blake nodded, and then said, "So, if you need anything, just tell me, and I'll do my best to help you!" β
"Thank you very much!" Tianxuan nodded with a smile and said.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed, and at this time, the outpost has been successfully built to a certain scale, and Blake expressed surprise at Tianxuan's attainments: "I didn't expect this outpost to give you such a look, it's really a different taste!" β
Tianxuan raised his head and said with a slight meaning: "Let's go, Blake, go over and feel it!" β
"Good! That's exactly what I wanted! With that, Blake went to the outpost under the leadership of Tianxuan.
"Where is this outpost, it's a holy place for leisure!" Blake sighed as he entered the outpost. I saw this in front of me: the engineering team diverted some key nodes of the waterway grooves connecting the cities, forming a number of large and small man-made sea lakes. Then on the shores of these lakes were built a series of small earth slopes.
Then, as they walked up the small dirt slope, the milky white trapezoidal fortresses came into view. From a distance, the sight looks something like this: the milky white trapezoidal fortresses along the azure coast and the white sand beach seem to merge into one, and there is no clear boundary.
Blake and Tianxuan were strolling at the foot of the fortress, and suddenly he noticed that the perimeter of the fortress was dotted with purple electric light flowers, and he immediately felt a dreamlike feeling. However, Blake couldn't understand why the electric light flower was planted here, so he asked: "Isn't this electric light flower sucking the water of the River Styx, is it okay to plant it here?" β
"We've done a geological survey to determine that the Styx is constantly flowing in beneath the soil! In this way, it just adds some light and color to the dark twilight city. Tianxuan pointed to the electric light flower and explained.
"The saltwater lake with the Styx plants can form such a unique pattern, and only you can think of it. Such a spectacle, I want to take a good look at it, acting city lord, is it okay? Blake asked with a curious look.
"Huh! Of course! Please! With that, he stretched out his arm and turned sideways to make a gesture to Blake inviting him in.
As Blake walked into the complex, he gradually learned about its construction: a long corridor that stretched to the end and then turned vertically; semicircular tall arches, or several connected or vertically jointed; The wall surface is hollowed out by piercing or semi-piercing......
After touring, Blake asked Tianxuan curiously, "Acting City Lord, how did you come up with this style!" β
Tianxuan blinked and smiled mysteriously.
"Come on, don't hang my appetite!" Blake said a little impatiently.
"Good! Since you are sincere in asking questions, then I will tell you with great mercy! Tianxuan crossed his waist and looked elated.
"Hmmm! I'm sincere, say it quickly! Blake asked sincerely.
"Mediterranean style!"
"Mediterranean?" Blake's fingers touched the bridge of his nose, his eyes rolled up, and he searched his mind for various fragments. After a while, he sighed and said, "I don't have any clues about this thing in my head." β
"Hee-hee!" Tianxuan shook his finger and said as if he were giving a lecture by an expert, "On the ground, there is the world's largest intercontinental sea, called the Mediterranean. It resembles a giant sink deep between the continents. β
"Oh! I see, it's no wonder that we don't have an ocean here, except for those columns of sea water that are rushing down near Lanmian City. Blake recalled, rolling his eyes upward.
"It's normal that you haven't seen it, but the vast blue waters along the Mediterranean Sea all have their own unique characteristics. I'm just one of the Mediterranean architectural forms. Tianxuan explained.
"And what's the style?" Blake asked.
Tianxuan scratched the back of his head, opened his eyes, and said, "There are too many for me to say for a while, but no matter how the form changes, the melting sun, warm smoke and wind of the Mediterranean coast make it have the same architectural language and symbolic elements." β
"Oh! I see, there's no sunlight here, so you just use electric lights to see the night view, right? Blake said with a smile.
"That is, you can enjoy the night view all the time here, and you don't have to worry about the sun the next day disturbing this peaceful interest." Tianxuan followed the stubble.
While chatting, Blake suddenly noticed that there was a cool breeze blowing along the corridor, so he asked: "Acting City Lord, I suddenly found that the temperature here has not changed much along the way, and the wind blows very comfortably." β
"Hey, hey!" Tianxuan smiled, danced with his hands, pointed around and said: "The characteristics of Mediterranean architecture are: numerous corridors, halls, and passages, on the one hand, to increase the length of the sea view appreciation point, and on the other hand, to use the principle of air ducts to increase convection, forming the so-called passive cooling effect of the wind through the hall. β
"I didn't expect there to be so many doorways here!" Blake exclaimed.
"That's, there's something that will make you even more amazing!" Tianxuan crossed his hands and hugged his back, raised his head and said.
"Oh?" Blake's eyes opened at this time, and after glancing around, he grabbed Tianxuan's arm and asked eagerly, "Where?" Where? β
"Hey! Ay! Tianxuan talked with his fingers about Blake holding his hand, and said, "Can you not be so enthusiastic, two big men are leaning together, aren't they so hot and panicked!" In a hurry, follow me up to the rooftop and have a look! β
"Oh! I'm sorry! I was excited! Blake quickly withdrew his hand and said apologetically.
The two men then walked up the stairs to the roof platform.
At this time, Blake suddenly noticed that the platform was really unusualβit turned out that on top of this platform, a number of pale blue cylindrical towers with teapot lids were being built against the sea lake.
"It's ?......" Blake pointed to the pale blue tower, frowning, puzzled.
"Hmmm! This is an observation post used to scout and snipe the enemy. The fortress was built, but it couldn't be covered by a fire net, so I built a small watchtower on top of it. How, how does it feel? Tianxuan smiled a little smugly.
Blake looked around and saw that the Mediterranean buildings were scattered in irregular steps, and the roads from the bottom to the top were curved, and the watchtowers on these platforms were not only beautiful to look at, but also set on the main roads of the enemy's attack.
"No matter where you attack them, these towers can completely cover any point, leaving no dead spots at all. It's really easy to defend and hard to attack! After checking the layout of the entire complex, Blake stretched out his thumb and admired Tianxuan.
