Chapter 474: Design for the Future

"There are more than 2,000 people who have magical talents, and more than 300 people who can become magicians. "As the vice president of the Academy of Magic, this data is simply coming with his mouth open.

"That's right, senior brother, I have already suggested that when the Civilian Academy opens on September 1 this year, not only the school-age children near the imperial capital will come, but also the children of the Kunmo Kingdom, the Yiwu Kingdom, and even the Viton Empire will also come to enroll, do you calculate how many magicians can appear in a year?"

"Ahh

"But have you thought about it, senior brother, a thousand this year, a thousand next year, ten years from now, twenty years from now, how many magicians will there be?"

The lifespan of the group of magicians is very long, and it is not uncommon to be over 100 years old, and if this continues, there will be more and more magicians, and it is possible to accumulate over the years, and even reach 100,000 million.

"Isn't the more magicians the better?" asked Vice Dean Gavin curiously.

"Of course, the more the merrier, I want to say that after many years, there will be more and more magicians, and the status will be reduced accordingly, so don't be too concerned about this identity. Flandi was seductive.

"Come on, Frandy, just say whatever you want, don't go around in such a big circle. "Vice Dean Gavin only now understands that the ultimate goal of what Flandy said for a long time is to get him not to take his identity as a magician too seriously.

"Hey, okay, I'd like to get some earth mages to dig holes. Brandi smiled a little sheepishly.

"What??," Vice President Gavin was stunned.

He thought that Flandi would talk about working as a bodyguard for important people, but he didn't expect it to be digging a hole.

That's right, it's really easy for an earth magician to dig a hole, but what kind of system is it to let a group of noble magicians dig a hole, no wonder he said a lot of things in advance to let Vice Dean Gavin lower his psychological expectations.

"Well, digging a hole, this matter has to be done by a magician, senior brother, come and see, this is the underground network system I designed for the imperial capital. As he spoke, Brandi brought over a bunch of drawings.

"What is that?" Vice Dean Gavin looked at the drawings, one by one, and saw that Flandy's drawings were different from ordinary drawings, but they could be understood at a glance.

From the overview map, it is easy to tell that this is the top view of the imperial capital, the east, west, south and north gates are clearly marked, and the palace in the middle is not marked with the vice president of Gavin.

Then there are eight horizontal and eight vertical lines for a total of sixteen dotted lines, at first he didn't know what it was, and after looking at the later sectional drawing, he realized that this was the "hole" that Flandy said the magicians wanted to dig. ”

There are still many nodes, although a lot of words are marked, but there are some words that the vice president Gavin can't understand, and after asking Flandy one by one, he gradually understands.

"Big project, big project. After reading it all, Vice Dean Gavin couldn't help but admire.

"Some of the designs are not too detailed, even Gülen hasn't seen these drawings yet, senior brother, you're the first to see them. Brandy smiled, indeed, it was shocking to come up with such a drawing in this era.

This drawing is designed by Brandi with reference to the underground drainage system in Tokyo, Japan, which not only has a drainage system, but also a sewage system, a water purification system, and a strong and weak current system, all of which are integrated.

It can be said that as long as all the functions on these drawings are realized, the city of the imperial capital will even be more advanced than the underground system of any city on the earth in the previous life.

Of course, this is what Flandy designed in his spare time, and it is not a matter of a year or two to really want to complete it all.

However, it can be built in phases and batches, the waterlogging of the imperial capital is not too serious, the drainage system can be temporarily built not so big, it is enough, the important thing is that the upper electricity, water purification, sewage systems need to be built as soon as possible.

The reason why I am so anxious is mainly that after the end of the war, tens of thousands of workers in the mines, smelters and foundries on the side of the Ministry of Industry have been idle.

In order to cast as many artillery pieces and shells as possible during the war, the Ministry of Engineering carried out a large number of recruitments, which were heavy manual work, so that most of the recruits were adult men.

The imperial capital has recruited a lot, and it has recruited a lot of refugees in the Yiwu Kingdom and the Kunmo Kingdom, which is barely enough.

As soon as the war ended, of course, there was no longer much demand for artillery and shells, and there was no need to mine so many ores and smelt so many metals in the corresponding mines.

What to do with so many people? The empire can't just hand out gold coins and not let them work, but it can't all be dismissed at once.

After all, tens of thousands of strong laborers, plus the old people, women, and children behind them, add up to hundreds of thousands, and if they are all dismissed at once, too many displaced people will be formed.

Two days ago, Glenn asked Flandi to complain about his grievances, and asked Flandi to find a way, which gave Flandi a headache.

If you want to feed a large number of workers, you must have big projects, and if this world develops normally, it is impossible for any big projects to appear.

Therefore, Flandy had no choice but to speed up the progress of human civilization and bring some projects that should not appear until a few years or more than a decade later.

That is urban transformation, and he plans to carry out a series of transformations in the imperial capital, which is currently the largest city of mankind, to meet the work needs of these "about to be laid off" workers.

First of all, there are water purification and sewage systems, which require a large number of pipes to be laid underground, and these pipes also need to be cast, which just meets the skills that the workers in the Ministry of Industry have mastered.

Of course, a lot of metal is required to cast pipes, and the workers on the mine side can also meet the work demand.

Once the sewage system is built, the garbage recycling plant will no longer have to walk the streets and alleys every morning to collect it, as long as the sewage pipe is connected, everything will become much cleaner and more convenient.

It will take a lot of work to clean the water, and it will be necessary to build a large reservoir upstream of the river of life outside the city, and then create some water purification systems so that ordinary people in the imperial capital can drink clean water.

Nowadays, it is not too easy for the civilians to drink water, the river of life is too far away, and it is impossible for the civilians in the city to walk to carry water, so they can only wait for the water truck to come and sell it.

It's better to have a well at home, but the cost of a well is also a lot, and only those who have money in the family can afford to build it.

Moreover, even the water transported from the river of life is not necessarily clean, and anything can happen in nature, and there is no way to test whether the water is clean or not with the current methods of this world.

If you want not to get sick, you have to boil the water, and to boil the water, you need firewood, which is another expense.

So Franky plans to solve these problems in people's daily lives together, and even lay the main cable together.

At present, after the research of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, there is a preliminary plan for the distribution of electricity, and Tom and Jerry, Gustav, and Katrina have been asking for ideas for the application of electricity from Frandi, and the practical application of electricity has been fully realized.

Needless to say, the four of them, under the reminder of Frandy intentionally or unintentionally, they developed a series of household appliances such as electric fans and electric stoves.

Electric fans need motors, that is, electric motors, after having electric motors, washing machines, hoists, small water pumps and the like can be developed, which can greatly replace labor and facilitate people's daily life.

As for how to generate electricity, Flandy had already prepared, originally he wanted to use the elemental collector and the scorching magic device to heat the water, and then drive the steam turbine to generate electricity.

However, in this case, it takes a lot of materials to build a power plant, and it takes a long time to prepare.

Unexpectedly, a few days after the end of the war, when I was chatting with Vice President Gavin, I heard that there was a new progress in the research of the fire crystal he retrieved from the fire cave.

Some alchemists added the powder of fire crystal research to the gunpowder, and found that the power of the gunpowder was several times greater.

Originally, this was a good thing, but the war was over, and there was no need for more intense gunpowder, so there was no use.

If this was discovered before the war, it would have caused a lot of damage to the Warcraft, but it was discovered too late and became meaningless.

This is actually just a complaint from Vice Dean Gavin, saying that even if the fire crystal is to be made into powder and added to gunpowder, it must be cleaned of all the fire elements in it. And if you want to clean up these fire elements, you need to soak them in water for a long time.

The large fire crystal that Flandi had brought back was broken down into several smaller ones, one of which was the size of a fist after eleven days of soaking in water, and finally cleaned up all the fire elementals, and then ground a small part of them into powder, before discovering this property.

And the largest fire crystal is still burning in the water until now, and I don't know how much water has been wasted, so I might as well throw it into the river in the first place.

When Flandi heard this, he was intrigued, and hurriedly asked about the various research results of the fire crystal, and when he learned that the small piece of fire crystal that had been cleaned up of the fire element was taken to the fire cave and was filled with fire element after a few days, and it was still burning, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

The largest piece of fire crystal is still burning until now, and half a year has passed, and God knows how much water has evaporated and how much vapor has been produced.

If these steam are used to generate electricity, I don't know how many kilowatt-hours of electricity can be generated, and even better, after the fire element in the fire crystal is used up, it can also be taken to the fire cave for "charging" and recycling!
