Chapter 175: Under Construction

"Fall, fall, fall!"

On the ground, a tall sandman raised his hands above his head and kept swinging backwards, and dust flew up on the ground.

Looking at the sky above him, the huge bone dragon was flapping its wings, slowly lowering the hanging basket on top of its claws.

When the basket touched the ground, the sandman quickly ran to the basket and opened the small door on the basket, and then a dozen sandmen came down from the basket.

Since the start of the project, the dragon corpse, which was previously terrifying in the eyes of the sandpeople, has become an indispensable means of transportation for them every day, and as the project progresses, it has become their air bus.

Oxbar, who had just come down from the gondola, shook his lion's head to sober himself up, and led the workers forward.

This is the new name that Sun Licheng called their sand people, because the project is underway, so the construction people are called workers.

"How's the project going today?"

Oxbar, dodging a skeleton soldier who had just crawled out of the shaft with a large basket of dirt on his back, shouted into the shaft.

After a while, a sand man with a rat's head came out, wiped a handful of mud from his face, and said to him, "Today is going well, but the tools are badly worn. And when to call the mummy's head, this aqueduct needs to be solidified. ”

"Don't call Barack Mummy Head, be careful that my brother whips you. That mummy's head went to the side to summon skeletons, and we've been a bit ruthless lately, and the losses of the skeleton soldiers are a bit big. ”

Oxbar slapped the sandman hard with his right hand, then handed a water bladder to him in pain, bared his teeth, and said.

The sandman took a sip of water, looked at the skeleton soldiers who continued to dig deep in his place, and said with a smile: "Not to mention, if it weren't for these skeleton soldiers, it is estimated that we would not be able to do so much work if we were killed." Where it is like now, you can rest for a while after doing it. ”

"By the way, when will the bricks and that cement come?"

The rat-headed sandman thought of a question and hurriedly asked.

Oxba smiled and said, "It is estimated that Lord Sun Licheng is having a headache about this." Because of the fact that I came across several plots with poor geology, the length of the canal increased a lot, and the number of bricks needed skyrocketed. ”

At the same time, Sun Licheng was taking a few sandman craftsmen to make brick blanks.

Recently, because the amount of work has increased a lot, the number of bricks is not enough, and more brick kilns need to be opened.

I saw Sun Licheng dismantle a shield, then skillfully removed the wooden planks on it, measured it with a bronze ruler, drew lines on it, and then used a bronze hand saw to saw them out of the mortise and tenon joints.

Soon, the four brick blank formwork was ready, and after a few more operations, a rectangular wooden frame appeared in Sun Licheng's hand.

With this template ready, Sun Licheng handed it to the skeleton soldier next to him, who took out a piece of the reconciled soil and began to press the bricks.

When the brick blanks were pressed into a batch, the eight skeleton soldiers lifted the bronze plates underneath and carefully placed them in the kiln for drying.

In the cave, a flame magic array was emitting high temperatures, and the boiling heat blew over the brick blanks placed in the cave, quickly evaporating the water in the blanks.

If it is a living person, it can't withstand such a temperature at all, but the skeleton soldiers don't care, they don't feel pain, and the temperature in the cave can't make them burn directly, so I saw these skeleton soldiers put the new brick blanks next to the magic array, and then walked to the downwind outlet and took the brick blanks that had been dried.

The dried billets will be placed in the firing cavern, which contains a powerful flame magic array.

Every once in a while, the Flame Magic Array was activated, and the raging flames burned the brick kiln like purgatory.

When the flame is extinguished, the bricks are burned. Although too high a temperature will make the bricks brittle and even chip. But this is a magical world, Sun Licheng is already very experienced in arranging magic arrays, he easily found the best balance, and the quality of the bricks burned is still quite good.

In this way, using the assembly line process, through the magic array and skeleton soldiers, bricks and Roman cement are continuously produced from the boulder mountains, and then the skeleton soldiers are either carried or carried, and even transported by the bone dragon to the place where they are needed, and the whole construction site is a busy scene.

"Sun Licheng, drink some water. ”

Caroline took a water bladder, walked up to Sun Licheng's side, and said softly.

Although she is an ogre and her hometown is not here, she is very excited to be involved in this kind of project.

It's a pity that this kind of thing doesn't need to be fought and killed, and an ogre like her, who has professional knowledge of robbery, is suddenly idle, and can only be responsible for Sun Licheng's logistics.

"Is Solomon gone again?"

Sun Licheng took a sip of water and asked Caroline.

Caroline nodded and said, "He went out again, saying that he wanted to inquire about the Great Pyramid." ”

Since the beginning of the project, Solomon has also been idle. Except for the occasional heroic story, the rest of the time is spent looking for those legendary pyramids.

Sun Licheng was deeply sorry for Solomon, after all, he had been delayed for too long now, but thinking about those sandmen living on the verge of life and death, he let himself calm down and do the job at hand well.

"By the way, Barak's level of control over skeletons has increased again. According to him, he has made his way to becoming a high-level necromancer. ”

Caroline said suddenly.

"yes, then you have to congratulate, or is this kind of work more suitable for him. ”

Sun Licheng looked surprised.

Although the original intention was good, his actions caused too much damage to the sea of sand, and Barak worked selflessly from the beginning of the project, constantly walking around the Boulder Mountains, summoning all kinds of skeletons.

At the same time, because he is very proficient in earth magic, he also constantly goes to various construction sites to cast spells and strengthen underground culverts and shafts.

Unexpectedly, with such high-intensity labor and his own recognition of work, Barak's earth-based magic and undead summoning skills have greatly improved, especially the undead summoning skills, which have advanced to the next level.

And once the undead summoning technique reaches the advanced stage, you can summon upgraded classes like the Skeleton Warrior. Although Sun Licheng didn't look down on the tattered weapons and armor of the skeleton warriors, the intelligence of the skeleton warriors would be greatly improved, and they could fully undertake some more delicate labor, which was very important for the huge project in front of them.

Just as the entire sand sea was working for the revival of the oasis, a group of camel cavalry appeared not far from the qanats construction site.

Instead of greeting them, the sandmen hid in a hidden place, not wanting to be seen by the people on the construction site.

Seeing the skeleton transport line stretching out into the distance like a white line, the leader of this group of cavalry had a gloomy face, and he couldn't help but clench his horsewhip in his hand.

"We must not let them do this!"

The sandman said fiercely.
