An exciting speech may make many people feel surging for a while, unable to control themselves, and then make blind choices.

However, the knights of Lorraine Castle and the people of Lorraine have long since passed the stage where they can be easily fooled.

Once upon a time, they came to be pioneers with dreams and the hope of the whole family on their shoulders.

The cruel reality smoothed their edges and corners, and the blood of the robe extinguished their hopes.

No matter how much Martin said before, he couldn't really touch their hearts. What they want to see is performance. There is nothing tangible that simply cannot shake their minds.

Loyalty rooted in their hearts may drive them to obey orders, but that doesn't mean it motivates them.

Now it's different, this new young lord, despite a series of unruly rumors, despite his extreme youth, it seems that he can really introduce a new stream to the backwater of Lorrainburg, which seems to be heading straight for death?

The world is cruel, even the smallest village will be guarded by wooden fences, otherwise it will not be able to sleep peacefully.

When the darkness of the long night is driven away from the earth by the light of the morning light, a new wooden castle with seven wooden fenced gates stands on a safe high ground.

The people of Lorraineburg, who had been busy all night, looked at the mermaid flag rising on the newly erected flagpole by the highest gate of the castle, and at the same time burst into the greatest cheers.

"Long live Lorrainburg!"

"Long live Young Lord Martin!"

"Praise Sigma—"

This is the new castle, the new hope!

Even if all the fences were ready-made, even if there was not even a decent house in this wooden fort, only seven fences on the slope and a ring of fences on the high ground, which were just empty shells, people were still moved to tears.

Build a city in one night, which is also known as a city in one night!

Even if everyone knows that the materials of the old city are used, everyone can brag about it in the tavern for a lifetime.

"I followed Lord Martin Lorraine and built a castle in one night......"

People celebrated and hugged the people around them.

In addition to the joy and ecstasy, everyone found that this new lord really seemed to be different from the rumors......

Kuden walked up to Martin and said heavily, "Young Lord, you have worked hard. ”

It is hard to imagine that this emaciated boy did not scream and hide in the corner of the wooden castle after escaping death, but supported his weak body and fought with his knights and lords for a full afternoon and an all-nighter.

What's even more rare is his wonderful ideas, each of which is practical.

The corners of Martin's mouth curled up in a wonderful arc: "Everyone has worked hard. ”

Standing on Martin's side, Gal needless to say, even Sylvie was a little convinced.

Martin ignored them, and instead looked at the pools on the west side of the heights: "The reservoir is too slow. Without water, we are chronically suicidal. ”

Kuden called in the stonemasons.

The stonemason was also complaining: "My lord, the stones on the high ground are so hard that we dug for an afternoon and a night, but we couldn't dig them anymore. Everyone is too tired to do it. ”

The carpenter's side had a gorgeous performance, but the stonemason's side was slow, and their faces were also gloomy.

"Let's go, let's see. "Martin passed.

This is an era when there are no bulldozers and excavators, otherwise a Lanxiang high-achieving student can handle everything. Looking at the stonemasons who were tired by the pool, Martin did not get angry, but squatted down to look carefully at the tools of the stonemasons.

The engineering of this world is not too backward, at least Martin saw in Lorrainburg the kind of catapult equivalent to the mid-14th century level in Europe.

According to Kouden, the boom of the stone thrower was 50 feet (about 15.2 meters) long, and the 10-ton counterweight of the stone thrower could throw 200 to 300 pounds (about 90 to 136 kilograms) of stone projectiles about 300 yards (about 274 meters).

So shovels or something, there have been them for a long time.

It's just that Martin knew it was unscientific as soon as he looked at the shovel.

Martin measured the measurements with his hands. After the crossing, Martin carefully examined his palm. His palm is very distinctive, and when it is opened to the extreme, the distance between the tip of his thumb and the tip of his little finger is exactly 20 centimeters, which becomes his best ruler.

After the comparison, he immediately knew that the handle was too long.

The shovel of this era was very arbitrary, both in terms of the size of the shovel head and the length of the wooden handle. After all, only the size of the knight's sword is the strictest. Whatever the farmer and craftsman use, just do it. No one thinks there's anything wrong with that.

Martin knew, not so.

Why are there strict requirements for the size of short and long shovels in the three-piece set used by firefighters?

That's because the length, width and weight of the shovel, after the most careful and rigorous ergonomic calculations, only the specified size is the best to exert force and save the most physical strength.

Therefore, the length of the short handle shovel used to remove the obstacle is set at 695mm, and the handle width is 105mm. The total length of the long shovel used to shovel sand to extinguish the fire is 101 cm, the length of the shovel head is 28 cm, and the width of the handle is 12 cm.

Martin picked up a small pebble with sharp points, drew a line on the shovel, and handed it to Sylvie: "Don't you claim to be good at swordsmanship? ”

Sylvie gritted her teeth, lightning drew her sword. Before others could stop it, they saw a flash of cold light, and the wooden handle that had grown out had been cut off by her. The incision is smooth, not more than a point, not less than a millimeter.

Martin clicked his mouth.

This chick seems to have some skills.

If it were him, he would have cut off the wooden handle and his hand just now.

Martin showed the demeanor of a general, did not care that the faces of others were still frightened, and handed the shovel to the leader of the stonemasons: "You can't do this, then do as I say—first all of you cut the shovel to the size of my hand, believe me, in this way you will shovel the soil with less effort." ”

Martin glanced around again, and saw that many of the masons were showing signs of exhaustion: "Everyone rests for half an hour, and then when they work, they stop every 20 minutes to rest for two minutes, and only drink a small sip of water." Take a two-hour break at noon and continue in the afternoon. ”

What Martin said is the most scientific way of working that has been verified by countless sciences before the crossing. If you are not a modern person, you can't understand the mystery at all.

Sure enough, after half a day, the stonemason came running and said, "Your Excellency, it's really amazing. The boys' fitness seems to be much better, and their progress is getting faster. It is estimated that the pond will be dug this afternoon, and all the ponds will be plastered in the evening, and the cistern will be ready for use tomorrow morning at most. ”
