The newly built Iron Hammer City is located on the bank of Naxi Lake, and the main city planned in the first phase will be 10 square kilometers, which is more than double the area of the old Black Sheep City, even compared to the royal capital. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Moreover, all the buildings in the main city are made of solid steel, which is something that no one could have imagined before this.

Such a steel giant, even with Renault's knowledge, has only appeared in science fiction movies.

The amount of steel it needs has reached a terrifying astronomical amount. Renault made a preliminary calculation, based on the calculation of 1,000 two-story buildings, each with 20 sets, each set of 100 square meters, and then adding up the underground reinforcement, sewers and other messy facilities, a total of 400,000 tons of high-quality steel is needed.

That means digging an entire mine!

Perhaps in the previous world, this was equivalent to less than a year's output of a small steel mill.

But for Heitie Town, although there are already 20 100-ton blast furnaces, it will take nearly two years to produce at full capacity according to the calculation of 30% of the iron ore taste.

And that's just the basics of the main material.

Urban construction is not a model, and the foundation, structure, anti-corrosion and even greening of each house must be implemented by a large number of workers little by little.

Historically, no matter which city, it took tens or hundreds of years to reach its final size.

There are even many ancient cities and capitals, all of which have thousands of years of history.

So Hammer City wants to be completed in two years, which is basically whimsical.

Xavier and Yoruba, who were involved in the urban planning, felt that this was an impossible task just by looking at the dense models on the sand table.

But Renault still felt that two years was a bit long, and he was ready to finish it in a year.

This made everyone's eyes pop out.

Such a huge city, it only took two years to build, and he still felt that it was too slow, and he wanted to finish it in one year!

Even if 10,000 laborers are organized to dig non-stop, and the foundation can be dug within half a year, it is already very good.

You must know that in the city designed by Renault, there are sewers under every street.

In addition, in winter, the snow is covered and the ground is frozen, and it is extremely difficult to carry out construction.

Relo smiled and said nothing, and asked Xavier to go and collect a thousand able-bodied laborers first.

What can a thousand people do?

Moreover, the snow had just begun to melt, and the ground was still very hard, and the pickaxe could only dig a fist-sized hole when he dug it. At this time, the recruitment of laborers began, and they had to be fed every day, which was a large expense.

Although he knew that Renault had copied a lot of gold from the lord's mansion in Black Sheep City, no matter how much money he had, it wouldn't be such a waste.

Xavier went away with doubts, he had not seen Renault's methods, and certainly did not believe in miracles.

A thousand men were soon recruited, and they were not idle every day, as Xavier had expected, and the day after they were put into makeshift tents, they were sent out to work.

They took long ropes and measured the snow, marking them every twenty meters, and then someone cleared the snow and smashed a one-meter-deep hole with a hammer and an arm-thick iron rod.

No one knew what the holes were used for, until the guards of Black Iron put bags of explosives in them and detonated them from afar.

Boom, boom, boom

The continuous sound of explosions made the earth tremble, and the originally hard frozen soil became soft under the powerful force of the explosion, reaching two meters underground.

Xavier and Yoruba were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths when they looked at the area of hundreds of square meters that had been carved out in an instant.

They had experienced the power of such an explosion firsthand, and it had made them suffer.

But they couldn't have imagined that in addition to being used to kill people, this kind of explosion could be used in such a way.

However, it is not enough to blow up the soil and blow it soft, and the thousands of earthworks always need to be carried by people.

As a result, no sooner had the explosion ended, than the rumbling sound of machinery came.

The Megatron mounted a hard steel shovel in front of it, arching headlong into the dirt like a desolate beast.

He was followed by dozens of smaller tanks, lined up in rows, pushing dirt layer by layer.

Using a tank to arch the dirt is probably the only one Renault is willing to do.

He really can't wait for the bulldozer specially produced in Black Iron Town, and the time is pressing, so he will make do with the tank, and it will be a big waste of gas.

But it's not enough to just pile the dirt together, it has to be transported.

Eight hundred out of a thousand laborers were sent to load the tractor with dirt.

Ten days later, more than a dozen conveyor belts made of rubber were transported to the site, mounted on a long, iron frame with huge wheels, and turned by a diesel engine and gearbox with rollers.

In this way, only the soil needs to be shoveled into the funnel on the conveyor leader, and the soil can be automatically fed into the carriage of the tractor, which not only saves labor, but also greatly reduces the labor intensity of labor.

After a month, nearly half of the foundation had been dug up.

Xavier and Yoruba have been staying close to the construction site all this time, trying to prevent someone from stealing the mountain of steel, while also witnessing the miraculous progress.

From their initial unbelief, to their slow belief, to their current expectations, their mental journey has undergone tremendous changes in just one month.

They are even a little worried, because spring has finally officially arrived in the grassland, the snow has melted, and the next two months will be drizzle, the road is muddy, and the construction is extremely inconvenient.

And after the foundation is dug down, the next step is to tamp the ground, then lay stones on top of it, and then tamp it so that it can withstand the heavy house.

At this time, in the direction of Black Iron Town, a team of brand-new huge machines finally drove up again.

Twenty bulldozers, ten rollers, one hundred small tractors.

Their arrival took the place of tanks and large tractors, as well as the work of land tamping was done with ease.

The flat ground was covered with fine stones, a huge iron mill with a diameter of three meters, and a 20-ton roller walked over it, and the originally muddy ground quickly became as flat as a stone slab.

It's only been less than two months, and a quarter of the foundation has been completed, Xavier felt the shaking from the ground, and his heart shook even more.

He suddenly felt that the destruction of the Black Sheep family might be a good thing. Otherwise, they and the people of the western steppes will never be able to feel such a change for themselves, and they will always be able to live in stone houses and live a dark and damp life.

The various shapes of steel piled up next to the construction site have piled up, and yellow rust has begun to grow in the sparse spring rains.

Xavier knew that soon they would come in handy, so he was looking forward to, and even couldn't wait to see, how these heavy steel plates would be turned into tall buildings.

That afternoon, several large tractors arrived at the site carrying a hundred well-dressed workers, and with them came four more eccentric vehicles. (To be continued.) )
