The Lord is Addicted in Infrastructure

Almost all the people of Amtrak have been settled.

Walker led Barna and the other knights to Guyana on a "business trip" to continue recruiting people.

The weather is getting warmer gradually.

The entire Wissas and Fort Comoy began to get busy.

The plan for urban construction in the next five years is initially implemented.

Residential districts, administrative districts, commercial districts, etc. were first planned, and reasonable arrangements were also needed for the spatial layout and land use of the two cities.

There are too many factors to consider from all sides.

Xia Zoe asked Conrad to convene engineers at any time in the guild to discuss and discuss countermeasures.

Everyone needs to write a detailed and exact plan, and then Conrad will summarize it and give it to him.

After all, the power of the collective is like steel, and the wisdom of everyone is like the sun and the moon.

Engineers: Getting bald day by day.

Fifteen days later, after repeated revisions, rejections, and revisions...

Xia Zuoyi finally finalized a complete plan and drawings.

He decided that the first area to be built in the two cities was the residential area. The housing problem was solved first, and everything else was easy to say.

But for the materials used to build houses.

Xia Zoe denied Conrad's claim that he wanted to use wood entirely.

"No, let's not talk about Fort Comoy for the time being, Wessas is near the sea, if all wood is used, but there is no good waterproof and moisture-proof preparation measures at all..."

"In the long run, houses are easily corroded by water vapor, and they are also prone to fire. The useful life must be very short."

Besides, the amount of construction for building houses in the residential areas of the city is not small, and there will be a shortage of timber.

"No, no." Xia Zuoyi denied again.

Conrad also felt helpless and embarrassed about this.

He said: "But if you don't use wood, you have to use rammed earth..."

Rammed earth houses have worse strength and durability, and are more susceptible to water vapor corrosion than wooden houses. They may even collapse after heavy rain...

Although the law of the Kingdom of Jadayat does not stipulate that civilians are not allowed to use stone materials for construction, it is a convention.

Besides, civilians can't afford stone.

If you choose stone buildings, the funds that have been roughly calculated at present need to be calculated from the beginning.

Xia Zuoyi: "If the stone is crushed, soil and other raw materials are added to it... can it be made into a new material that can be built?"

-brick.

This world is indeed formed as 098 said because of a novel, leading to incomplete world lines and incompleteness...

Although it is the background of the early Middle Ages in the West, part of the historical trend is quite different from and deviated from the actual Middle Ages in the West.

For example, the appearance of red bricks was invented by the ancient Romans very early.

There is no Rome in the overhead world, so there are no bricks?

As a material suitable for construction, bricks have good thermal insulation, good air permeability and good water absorption.

The most important thing is that it is very strong and not afraid of wind and sun, durable sound insulation, easy to obtain materials, and low cost.

The only problem is that the brick-burning kiln needs to be built.

Xia Zoe gave plenty of hints, and then asked Conrad to go back and find someone to study it in detail.

He thought it might take more than ten days before news came to the castle.

But he didn't expect that eight days later, Conrad would come to the castle and said: "Earl, the kiln has been built."

Xia Zuoyi raised his eyes in surprise: "So fast?!"

Conrad: "Yes, Lord Earl, are you going to have a look in the city?"

Xia Zoe: "Well, I'm going."

Ever since Xia Zoe proposed to mix stone crushing with soil and other materials, Conrad has been thinking about how to make suitable structures.

He went to the site where the stones were piled up in the city, and accidentally discovered that the stones were crushed very fast here. After asking a craftsman, he learned that someone had invented a tool for crushing stones.

The craftsman led Conrad to a machine that was half a person tall and about two meters long.

This is a gravel tool consisting of two relatively rotating iron wheels.

There are uneven blunt undulations on the iron wheel, and a hollow in the middle of the iron wheel can be inlaid with a horizontal wood to rotate the iron wheel.

Before using this tool, you need to break the big stone with a hammer to form a small piece of stone and then throw it into the sinking position between the two iron wheels.

The uneven undulations on the iron wheel will be inlaid together when rotating, so as to crush the stone even more, saving a lot of labor and effort.

Conrad immediately asked, who invented this tool?

Craftsman: "I am a native of Trak."

"They made two of these gravel iron wheels. We thought it was good and we borrowed one for use. It's not clear who the specifics are..."

"But President, you should know if you ask in the past."

Conrad personally went to Fort Komoy and successfully found the person who invented the iron wheel.

Later, he discovered that this person had a very clever mind, and he had worked out a lot of effort-saving gadgets in such a short period of time by participating in the temporary craftsman.

And the design of each tool is very clever.

So Conrad asked him to study the questions raised by Shazoe.

Xia Zoe heard Conrad say the name of this man on the road.

After the meeting, it was determined that he was indeed Renault Massey.

Xia Zuoyi looked at the kiln and every tool, and was secretly amazed that Renault Massey was indeed a talent.

He asked: "How did you come up with these things?"

Reynolds: "I have liked to mess around since I was a kid... I think about it every day when I grow up... Then I came up with it."

Xia Zoe: "..."

Probably every genius has been thinking about it since childhood and adding a little inspiration to achieve the present.

Conrad said: "Master Earl, the new material you mentioned has also been burned out. Here, you can take a look."

He led Xia Zoe to the outside of the kiln, where a pile of failed or burnt bricks was neatly placed on the ground.

Conrad pointed to one of the stacked bricks and said: "Because of the need to shape, Reynolds made a square mold, each about half an arm's length."

"We tried several times, and the texture of the final molding was the strongest, comparable to stone."

Speaking of which.

Conrad's face couldn't help showing joy, and he tried his best to tell Xia Zoe about Renault's work in the research.

Xia Zuoyi expressed satisfaction and asked, "What reward do you want?"

Reynolds froze for a moment, then rubbed his hands: "I, can I get any rewards I want?"

"of course."

"Then, then, can I take off, get out of..."

Seeing him hesitating, Xia Zuoy couldn't help but say for him: "Do you want to be free from slavery?"

Renault's heart jumped sharply, and he nodded involuntarily: "Yes, yes."

Xia Zuoyi: "Yes, you have done a lot this time."

"I've always been fair. The status of being freed from slavery needs to be exchanged with enough merit. You have reached the standard."

"From now on, I will notarize you as a freedman."

Reynolds was surprised and happy, not knowing how to maintain the expression on his face.

He was completely stunned, and his heart was filled with unspeakable surprises and excitement.

Reynolds didn't expect that these things that he thought would not be of much use in the past could become the feats he wanted most now.

After all, as an illegitimate child, Reynolds is often scolded for not being enterprising, and researching waste products that are not on the table all day.

Xia Zuoyi: "Are you interested in becoming a consultant for the Craftsmen's Guild, everything is favorably paid...Should you think about it?"

Reynolds: Is there such a good thing? !

Of course he does!

Xia Zoe: Very good, very good, very good.

Starting today, Renault has officially entered the ranks of "increasingly bald".

Reynolds: Just keep smiling.

When the weather started to get hotter, Walker finally returned from Gaynor to Wessas.

In total, he brought back more than 350 people, who were placed in the two cities.

When Valklai Castle returned to life, he said: "Earl, there has been some turmoil in Gaynor, and one of the princes with inheritance rights has died."

Fernandi was also here, frowning upon hearing this.

Xia Zoe: "How many princes are there in Guyana?"

"I remember Bruno Green is a direct descendant of King Gaynor and has the right to inherit, but the possibility of inheritance is not great, is it?"

Fernandi nodded: "Guena has a total of three princes."

"The old King Guyna has a long life. He is now more than sixty years old but still on the throne. The second prince died early, and the third prince limped when he accidentally fell from a horse."

"Bruno Green is the son of the third prince."

Xia Zoe: "So, the dead man is the prince?"

The look on Walker's face was a little weird, and he shook his head and said, "No, the dead man is the third prince."

Fernandi saw it and asked, "Do you suspect that Bruno Green's death is related to the death of the third prince?"

Walker: "Reasonable doubt."

"Bruno Green has great ambitions. The old king of Gaynor has a long life. The eldest prince is not too young and is in poor health. Now he often needs to seek medical treatment for him."

"When I left Gaynor with some people, there was news that the prince was critically ill. The physicians in the city had been summoned by the knights to enter the palace."

Xia Zoe: Alright, no help. The prince must be dying.

Walker: "After the first heir to the throne is dead, there are fewer people standing in front of Bruno Green."

"Old King Guynar has lived a long time until now, and he should be about to die. Then he will naturally choose from Bruno Green's generation."

If Bruno Green is on the throne...

It will be more difficult for Fernandi to want revenge.

Two days later.

Gadaat.

A surprising piece of news suddenly came from the royal city of Kays-the old king has passed away.

After the king's death, the body needs to be stored in a coffin for three months before it can be buried.

During these three months, the king's coffin will be placed in the church, and the clergy will hold the funeral for the king himself, sprinkle holy water on the coffin, and ring the death knell.

The lords in the Kingdom of Jadayat need to enter the royal city of Kaes to mourn the old king Duke Paqi deeply.

Before departure.

098 also put on a little baggage again and said to Xia Zoe: [Host, I am going to travel again, come back and bring you gifts, remember to miss me, okay. 】

Xia Zuoyi: "Be careful and come back early."

He watched 098 jump into the cosmic mailbox after waving a small match hand, and disappeared from the interface of the system.

Judit watched him sitting in a chair in a daze, and couldn't help asking: "My Lord Earl, how many knights and soldiers do you plan to take to the royal city this time?"

Xia Zoe thinks about it: "Fernand stays in Visas."

"Walker took Tyler and Barna to leave with me, and sent two more platoons of soldiers to follow... No, one platoon was behind a certain distance, and when I entered the city to mourn for the king, I waited outside the city."

Udit was a little puzzled, but he nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Earl."

Xia Zoe: I hope he didn't think too much. The death of the old King Duke had better not be linked to the death of Prince Guynar...
