Release that Witch Chapter 242: The new field of architecture
The first honour ceremony lasted until noon. The Roland station, which is also a honour, commentator and host, was exhausted. Fortunately, the ceremony finally closed at noon with bell sound and salute. . Sweating back to the castle, as soon as he stepped on the third floor, he saw Anna leaning on the door of the office with a smile.
"What's wrong?"
"You'll know when you go in," she blinked her beautiful lake-blue eyes.
It won't be a tidy show. Roland pushed the door open with a lot of fog, and then 愣 in the place --, I saw twelve witch standing neatly in two rows. Scroll and Wendy are at the front. . Seeing the prince appearing, everyone simultaneously lifted the skirt angle, bent his knees, and bowed.
"cough cough, you are ..."
Scroll was the first to say, "Your Highness, your actions have proven everything you said, and the sisters are grateful for this. No words can describe our gratitude, and please let us continue to work for you in the future."
"So that's it," Roland breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought you were going to resign collectively."
"Well," Wendy couldn't help but laugh out loud, "How could it be, Your Highness, here is the Holy Mountain that witch dreams of. As long as you don't drive us away, we hope to live here forever."
"And this is what I want to see ... Actually, you don't have to do this. I'm doing this not only to help you, but to help myself. Don't be too serious, I prefer your relaxed appearance. "
"Hum, I just said it's not necessary to be so formal," Lily snorted, "Look, he thinks we're too serious."
"How can you say that you promised to go down as soon as you didn't take a bite," Mystery Moon mumbled, "traitor!"
"Okay, everyone, please go to the restaurant first, Your Highness will have to change clothes," Scroll helplessly held his forehead, "Yes, listen to Miss Anna said you have slept late recently? Please take care of your body and achieve that goal Before, you must not fall. "
"Relax," Roland smiled, "I'm very healthy."
After witches went out, only him and Anna remained in the office.
"Why, would you like to thank me?" Roland teased her.
"Yeah ... I want to say the same as them," Anna raised his lips, "" No words can describe my gratitude. " "
"And ... want to live in Border Town all the time?"
"That's not necessarily the case."
Roland startled, my heart jumped, "Why?"
"Because you won't stay here all the time," Anna tilted his head, "... and no matter where you go, I will always follow you."
Suddenly a warm current surged in his heart, and her mind has never changed since the day she met her. No matter in the face of Cooperation Association's invitation or in the critical moment of confronting Evil Beast's, she chose to stand with herself.
At this moment, Anna suddenly took the first two steps and hugged him gently.
"Wait, sweat." Roland reminded.
The girl does not have answer, but puts her head on his chest. It seems that she wants to write down the taste, take a deep breath. He eventually gave up her plan to push her away, and both hands took hold of the other's fair neck and never let go.
...
After having lunch, Roland took a cold shower and was quickly put into work.
He called Karl van Bate, spread out the detailed map of Border Town's, and pointed to the location of Scarlet Water River. "I want to build a bridge here."
"Not floating bridge?" Karl thought for a moment and said, "Excuse me, Your Highness, Scarlet Water River is nearly a hundred meters wide here. It is almost an impossible implementation to build a stone bridge. Even if it is an arch bridge, it can only be at most It spans a third of the distance, and the water flow of Scarlet Water River is extremely large, and the bridge piers cannot fall at all. Even a thick stone pile will be washed down ... except for the raft crossing and floating bridge, there is no bridge on the entire river. "
"It's not a stone bridge, but a steel bridge," Roland explained. "There are three spans in total, and the middle bridge pier will be settled by witch. You only need to put its approach bridge in place in advance. But I ask at the bridge head Take the **** and raise the entire bridge so that the inland riverboat can pass, and the mast will not touch the bottom of the bridge. "
"Isn't that setting the bridge up to the sky?" Karl was surprised.
"It's only about six or seven meters above the ground," he drew a schematic diagram of the three-span iron bridge in a sketch. "In order to better develop the south bank and dock construction in the future, there must be a river on the river that does not affect the traffic. floating bridge, although simple, is equivalent to clogging the river, which is not good for subsequent development. "
The Kingdom Capital trip of the First Army expedition team gave Roland a lot of inspiration to --. He discovered that the rivers in Greycastle extend in all directions, and major cities are basically built beside several major river channels. If we start domestic operations in the future and have several shallow-water heavy gunships, it will definitely be a weapon to provide fire support and siege. --, after all, is known for its caliber. The power of naval guns is far from being comparable to field guns. In order to build a ship, he first had to have a dock, so the plan for a steel bridge came into being.
"But I don't have experience in building bridges like this ..." Karl seemed hesitant.
"I haven't," Roland shrugged. "It's the first time to explore it slowly. You can set up a bridge on the shore to test it. If it's OK, move to Scarlet Water River." He incidentally Instill the construction concept of integral prefabrication and one-time hoisting into the other party. "Just like installing a water tower, there is Hummingbird to reduce its weight, and your student Anna can help with assembly and welding. It will not be difficult to go."
"Follow ..., Your Highness," he nodded.
"In addition, there is a very important project to be handed over to you," said the prince, moving his finger to the castle area. "I intend to expand the size of the backyard and enclose all the open space on the high ground, and here it is Build a three-story building. "
If all goes well, five witch of Tilly will arrive at Border Town next month, and there are no more guest rooms in the castle. Although it can be changed to three people for the time being, witch will always be more and more in the future, and impossible has been making up. The superior living environment and all kinds of novel and comfortable experiences are also one of his strategies for retaining witch. Whether it is the ancients who turned from luxury to frugality, or the modern sugar-coated shell theory, a beautiful and comfortable life can always indulge people. .
"Three floors ... brick house?"
"It's not exactly a brick house," Roland smiled. "It should be called a brick-concrete structure. The pillars and roof beams are made of reinforced concrete, just like a human skeleton. This structure It can make the house higher, and it will be fine to add it to the Four floor and the fifth floor in the future. "
"Reinforcement ... concrete?" Karl repeated with a confused expression.
"It is a mixed product of cement, sand and stone, with reinforcing steel inserted in the middle to enhance its bending resistance," he said. "Of course, the exact amount of each ingredient needs to be rigorously tested. If the configuration is successful, , It's even stronger than natural bluestone. "
In theory, this kind of thing has a very large elastic space in quality. It is also concrete. The cement purchased in the countryside is configured by itself. The measurement and configuration of the mixing station are completely different. The same is true of steel bars ... Some people do n’t even put pebbles or replace steel bars with wire or bamboo when they build their own homes. When Roland stayed in the countryside, he had seen several "country houses" plucking the ground. The process.
And he intends to follow suit. After all, it's just a three-story house.
In addition, he hopes to pass the witch residential building project, so that Karl can master this kind of building material that can change shape freely, like artificial stone. As one of the development directions of the construction industry, concrete occupies almost half of the country. He is not very proficient in architecture, he will be just a little bit learned from the countryside, so it is the correct way to broaden the horizon of Stonemason and get it right.
"Uh ... does this make me slowly explore?" he asked.
"No," Roland smiled, "I can teach you this."
