Chapter 453: Road Plan
Kay soon moved her home to a backyard lab, and Nono and Philip, who had followed her to Sadland, naturally became her lab assistants. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Like a child finding a new toy, the woman was interested in researching fuel, and Kay was clearly interested in all sorts of fuel that could replace fire-based magical attacks. The great magician, who has a wealth of knowledge in magic potions, also pointed out that there are still certain deficiencies in the magic potion in Jose's fuel, such as poor stability, although this can explode the destructive power in the bomb, but the safety is very poor.
The woman suggested that the explosiveness and safety of the fuel could be stabilized by improving and adding other magic potions. She got a large sample of oil from Joseph and started her own research in the backyard, much to Joseph's surprise. This glamorous and beautiful woman doesn't seem to look like a magician at all, but as soon as she enters the laboratory, she almost immediately becomes a magic maniac.
The woman hadn't stepped out of the laboratory for half a month, and Joseph had seen her experiments. Kay didn't care about the pollution and pungent smell of the oil refining process, which José knew was the sulfide in the oil, and the dirty oil stains were simply ignored by Kay.
The woman didn't even care about rubbing her oil-stained hands on the long skirt on her body, and the red dress didn't know what material it was, and it would immediately become very clean after being stained with oil, and there would be no trace at all.
Only then did Jose finally understand that although this Kay seemed arrogant and arrogant on weekdays, he didn't expect to be so serious and rigorous in his treatment of magic, no wonder he had achieved such a high level of achievement on the road of magic at a young age. It seems that behind every successful strong person is his own unknown efforts, how noble Kayi's identity is, and he has never been afraid to conduct experiments and research in person, this is the attitude that a great magician should have.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but have some respect for Kay, but after this woman learned of José's thoughts, she sneered and sneered and said: "What is this, I think that when I came all the way from a low-level magician, what kind of demonic beasts' corpse internal organs, how dirty and disgusting things have been touched, what are these oil stains compared to those things?!"
José was speechless by such a fierce answer, but Kay quickly sneered and asked how his recent magic practice was, which made José a little unsure of how to answer. After all, the astral magic he learned was very different from the magic system prevailing in the continent, and he didn't even need to spend too much time cultivating, but mainly cultivated through meditation and induction.
In the past few months, he has been so busy with all kinds of things in Sadran that he has no time to practice magic. In addition to meditating regularly every night to improve the space of consciousness, he has almost only performed magic in a few battles, and after thinking about it, what he is best at now is only a few mid-level magic, and as for high-level magic spells, he can't do one.
Therefore, as soon as Kay came to Sadrand, José naturally would not miss such a good opportunity, he followed Kay all day long, and finally managed to trick a few high-level fire magic. Of course, José knew that Kay had deliberately taught herself, otherwise, with her temperament, if she really didn't want to teach herself, she might not be able to get a high-level spell after serving by her side for ten years.
Fortunately, the affairs of Sadrand are almost handled now, and the Northwest Army has experienced the last defeat, and I am afraid that it will not pose any threat to Sadrand in the short term. Both the government and military affairs were handed over to Sophia and Alok and the others below, but he didn't have to worry too much, and Joseph was even thinking about whether to take it away and take advantage of this time to make up for the previous practice.
However, while Chaucer was actively distilling the crude oil, the craftsmen in the Sadrand workshop came to inform him that after the crude oil had been initially distilled, a large amount of black residue remained, which was dumped in the city at will, which would inevitably cause pollution, so they suggested that the workers, that is, the prisoners of the Northwest Army, should transport the waste outside the city and dump it.
When Joseph heard these words, his eyes couldn't help but light up: those craftsmen may not know that what is left after the distillation of crude oil is not an ordinary residue, but a very useful petroleum asphalt, and it is a waste anyway, so it is better to think of some way to use this asphalt on the roads and buildings of the county.
Thinking of this, Joseph immediately took action, due to the backwardness of refining technology, there must be some oil and other impurities in the remaining oil residue and asphalt. This was not too difficult for José, who took some specimens of asphalt and then began his experimental journey with some lime, crushed rock, and gravel from the city.
According to Joseph's understanding, the so-called asphalt road has actually been around for a long time, taking the real world as an example, it is said that as early as about 600 B.C., there were records of asphalt roads in ancient Babylon in the valley of the two rivers, but later this technology was lost, and it was not until modern times that Westerners began to study and build asphalt roads in Europe.
This so-called asphalt road is nothing more than a solid pavement caused by the mixture, rolling, and paving of petroleum asphalt and various stones according to the proportion, size, and thickness. This is very suitable for inland cities in the northwest like Sadrand, and there is a large amount of petroleum asphalt left in the Sadrand workshop every day, and the raw material can be said to be very abundant.
While Chaux didn't expect to build a high-quality asphalt road like the one in the real world, it would be nice to simply use asphalt to transform Sadrand's roads. After all, in the era of cold weapons such as the mainland of Ceylon, there was basically no concept of roads, and only there would be some stone and brick paving in the towns, while there were few large-scale roads in various places outside the city.
This layout was naturally detrimental to the predominantly commercial Sadrand, and if a large number of asphalt roads were built, it would not only facilitate transportation within the county, but also facilitate the transportation of caravans. Or think further, after the war with the Northwest Army in the future, there will also be convenient transportation to transport troops, and the asphalt and gravel roads are much more convenient than those dirt roads.
Unable to do so, Jose approached Sophia and asked her to plan the main towns in Sadrand and draw up a blueprint for the roads to be built. This drawing basically connects the various towns in the city of Sadrand, and the road planning is in the interior of Sadrand, and the march and transportation are extremely convenient, if the road is completed, to reach the border area like Boulder Town, the fast horse only needs one day, which greatly shortens the distance.
