Chapter 161: The Water Tower is Completed
Wang Yong came to Regan's side and did not make a sound to disturb, but followed his gaze and began to observe the changes in the magic array.
Soon, Wang Yong found that the energy of the magic crystals embedded in the magic array was rapidly disappearing, and at this rate, the energy in the five low-level magic crystals would not last for a few hours before it would be consumed.
Such a rate of consumption was unacceptable to them, and according to the value of the magic crystal, the water gathered in this way was too expensive, even the emperor could not afford it.
Gradually, the people outside also found out that something was wrong, and they all quieted down so as not to disturb Wang Yong and the others, only Brant and Norman went up and down to check whether the water tank and connecting pipes were leaking.
Just such an hour passed, and just when everyone was waiting a little impatiently, Wang Yong stepped out of the protective cover and ordered someone to open the water pipe below.
Brandt and Norman were ordered to rush to the makeshift faucet under the water tower, and after a long time of humbleness, Brant turned on the faucet made with a wrench.
The trigger was raised, and the onlookers only heard a sound like a beast's roar coming from the faucet, and when everyone thought it was strange, a slightly yellowish stream of water rushed out, and those standing in front of the faucet were caught off guard and sprayed all over their faces.
Brant and Norman held the yellowed water, both feeling that the water quality was not as clean as the groundwater, and they didn't know if they could drink it. The two glanced at each other, and both saw a little disappointment in each other's eyes.
The two didn't say much, just stared at the clear water flowing out of the water pipe, and as the water gradually stabilized, the two were surprised to find that the water flowing out of the water pipe gradually became clear.
Seeing the water flowing out of the pipes and the white splashes falling on the ground, the crowd began to cheer excitedly.
And those workers who are now professionally trained as plasterers feel pity when they see that so much water is wasted in vain, so they quickly bring in a few large wooden barrels to receive water, which saves them a lot of time to carry water.
The supervisors above also came down from above when they saw such a lively scene below, but when they thought of Regan's frowning brows, they were not as happy as the others, but were a little worried.
After another hour or so, Reagan and Rook cheered and then hugged each other.
Everyone outside the protective shield saw Regan, who had always been calm, make such a move, even the most stupid person knew that this composite magic array had succeeded, and everyone's faces were full of smiles.
Just now, the water level in the water tank reached the standard line, and then the function of the magic array to gather water elements automatically stopped. Then, the water began to be discharged below, and the magic array automatically activated again. However, after activating it again, the magic array did not gather water elements as violently as it did at the beginning, but became extremely gentle.
After an hour of observation and calculation, Reagan and Rook determined that at the current rate of consumption of magic crystals, the remaining energy in the five magic crystals would be enough to last for two months. If the water is used normally, there will be a lot of time for the magic array to stop functioning, and if it is calculated in this way, if it is five water-based magic crystals with full energy, it can theoretically be used for more than half a year.
This conclusion completely let go of the mental calculations that the two of them were hanging on just now, and this composite magic array that they had been carving day and night for two days and selecting eleven single magic arrays to combine finally succeeded.
Wang Yong looked at Reagan and Rook with a smile, feeling that they were a little too exaggerated, didn't they succeed in the experiment before, but today they just enlarged the magic array of the experiment at that time, they won't be excited like this, right?
What Wang Yong didn't know was that today's magic array was not the one that was originally experimented, although the magic array made according to the previous plan could be used, but Reagan and Rook, the two most perfect guys, were not very satisfied, so they began to study a better and more perfect magic array without Wang Yong's knowledge.
The success of today's magic array is the biggest breakthrough in history, according to the alchemy diary, that is, in the era of magic prosperity, the most clever magic array masters can use up to eight single magic arrays to combine into a composite magic array.
And today, they used eleven single magic arrays to combine, and they succeeded. If you add the phantom array, it is twelve magic arrays, which has surpassed the highest level of the era of magic flourishing, how can you not let these two people who are obsessed with alchemy and magic array research excited.
With the success of the water tower, the next thing is easy to do, Wang Yong asked everyone who has nothing to do go back to rest, and everyone who has something to do is busy with their own work, and after everyone celebrates the success of Regan's group in the evening, only the workers responsible for building the barracks are left here.
After two days of construction, the barracks' sewerage and water pipes have been laid. The main sewer pipe is made of sturdy stoneware pipes with a diameter of one meter, because there are not so many people here, so it is not too big.
However, in the sewers of the seaside city in the future, Wang Yong still decided to make it the same as in American blockbusters, where you can run a carriage.
The interface of the pottery pipe is made of special cement with precious alchemy materials, which has super good adhesion and is waterproof, although the cost is a little expensive, but it is still within the range that can be afforded.
As for the water pipes, they are not yet fully covered, because the smelter is in full swing to produce steel bars, and the stock of water pipes has been depleted. Only when the smelter starts making iron pipes again can it continue to lay water pipes, and now it has to stop work to do other work.
Because we have not yet found a suitable material for making the wire sheath, the cable duct has to stop digging and reserve a place for later.
Wang Yong has ordered the smelter to start producing the iron pipes needed to build the asphalt lake base, and the smelter is expected to take about ten days to complete.
Wang Yong felt that such a speed was not enough for the construction of the seaside city, so he transferred 300 people to the foundation of the city wall to help the smelter build ten rolling mills and 1,000 iron pipe molds of various specifications.
After experiments, the temperature of the Wupin smelting pot has reached the limit that ordinary metals can withstand.
After the ground fire heating, the temperature in the five-grade smelting pot could not be measured, and the fist-sized iron ore was thrown in, and the ore had melted into a few drops of molten steel before it reached the bottom of the pot. Although it is a bit wasteful, the five-grade steel obtained is definitely a good thing.
The five-grade steel ingot is melted in a second-grade smelting pot, and then various alchemy materials are added to obtain the best and most applicable steel, which is definitely a god grade when processed into tools.
For example, the carving knives used by Regan and Rook to carve the magic array are better than the carving knives they used to use as treasures, and I don't know how much to accompany them.
After the chef learned about it, he also made a set of knives out of five-grade steel, and after trying the effect, the two chefs brought this set of knives that were not as sharp as clay, but absolutely sharp, and they were reluctant to let go even when they slept.
Although the five-grade steel is good, but the consumption of iron ore is also quite large, and the materials consumed by the same pot of five-grade steel are dozens of times that of the second-grade steel, so after Wang Yong only produced one pot of five-grade steel, he asked the dwarf Robert to put the five-grade smelting pot and the four-grade smelting pot into the warehouse, and then use it when needed in the future.
Now in the construction of the territory, it is enough to use second-grade steel, and third-grade steel is a bit luxurious, so third-grade steel is basically used in key parts.
Wang Yong called Brant and Norman together, and the three of them completed the construction of the first floor of a soldiers' dormitory in one day.
Wang Yong designed the barracks as the structure of an office building, with a spacious lobby at the middle gate on the first floor, and rooms of the same size on both sides of the corridors on the left and right, and there was absolutely no problem for a dozen people to live in each room.
Wang Yong was designed according to the scheme of one room for one squad and one floor for two squadrons, with three floors per building and a capacity for 300 people. It is expected that four such barracks will be built, enough for a battalion of a thousand people.
There are other buildings, such as canteens, officers' office buildings, training halls, warehouses, stables and other infrastructure.
The reason why the construction is so comprehensive is that Wang Yong intends to completely separate the logistics of the army and the people, so as to ensure that the armed forces in the territory and the local administration have less to do with each other, so that when someone really does something in the future, everyone will be familiar with each other and will not be able to get started.
With Wang Yong's demonstration building, Brant and Norman have a direction to refer to, and the rest of Wang Yong doesn't have to worry about it, and it is all handed over to Brant and Norman to be responsible.
After Wang Yong's observation in the past few days, this Norman is not a selfish person, he taught Brant a lot of theoretical knowledge that Wang Yong told him but Brandt was not clear about, plus some of his own understanding and experience, all of which were taught to Brant without reservation. Brandt also often discussed with Norman, which made Wang Yong very pleased, and appointed Norman as the deputy director of the construction department, so that the two of them could work together to build the asphalt lake base.
If the project here can satisfy Wang Yong, the construction of the seaside city will also let them do it in the future, which makes the two people who have been obsessed with new architecture full of yearning, and now the end of the work is full, often sticking to the construction site day and night, and it seems that they have more endurance than the minotaur who is in the prime of life.
And Wang Yong had to deal with many things because of the trouble, and the construction site had to be stopped, which made the two construction directors depressed.
Sophia and the others are becoming more and more proficient in the use of magic, and they can already dehydrate the cement in pairs, so it is natural for them to step forward and take over Wang Yong's pumping work, so that he can concentrate on other things.
