Chapter 161 Ten thousand-ton granary! Magic builder! (Please subscribe)(1/2)
After an accident occurred during the sparring between the two, Odin had to stay overnight to observe Ovia's condition to show his concern.
It wasn't until after lunch the next day that I said goodbye to my sister and left Flint Town.
The engineering team he brought stayed in Firestone Town to carry out the second phase of the project. At the same time, Laura, as the deputy captain, was also responsible for the task of collecting stone.
A large transport team composed of thirty endurance camels and oxen continuously dragged the useless stones from Firestone Town back to Boulder Town.
Odin left Firestone Castle, rode alone, and galloped all the way. It took him more than half an hour to pass through Poppy Town and reach the door of his own town.
"It takes so long to run a mere thirty or forty kilometers. This horsepower is too slow. I have to find a way to get a good mount. I saw that the griffon Sofia rode last time was very good. I don't know where it is.
I can get it.”
After complaining casually, Odin dismounted at the three-way intersection in front of the Exchange Market.
Looking at the foot of the mountain on the left, there was a forest half a month ago, but now a large area of flat land has been opened up, and more than 60 construction workers are working here.
The design of the entire Knight's Camp was completed by Kunas.
The building content includes a shooting range, a racecourse, an open-air training ground, an indoor training ground, a complex checkpoint, a guard tower, an equipment warehouse, an office, as well as a row of single-family dormitories and collective single-person dormitories.
So many buildings are gathered together to form this super large knight camp.
There are two special places among them, a compound level and a dormitory.
The special feature of the level lies in its composite design. Kunas drew on the elements of the city gate and built a ladder-shaped overpass above the twelve-meter-wide road leading to the interior of the knight camp.
There are concave and convex walls on the overpass that look like arrow stacks. Below the overpass is a culvert with two-way access. Soldiers will be guarding here, as well as the top of the bridge.
In addition, there is a sentry tower 20 meters away from both sides of the overpass to observe the enemy's situation and deliver news.
Overall, it has many functions and is very practical.
There are two types of dormitories. One is a row of single-family buildings, which are equipped for formal Cavaliers members.
Considering that there are many professions in the Knights and many training activities are carried out alone, a quiet private space is very important.
The preparatory group is a collective dormitory building, but each person's space is not small, ensuring the most basic quality of life.
There are no changes in other various buildings, and they are normal standards.
The above is the entire plan for the Knight Camp. It will take about three months to complete all of this.
Looking at the engineering team working hard on the construction, Odin nodded and moved on to the next government arrangement, the granary.
After the stones are obtained, a series of activities related to building the granary can be started one after another.
The first is the location of the granary and the amount of prepared storage.
"Ruvid, how many tons of food do you think we need to store at least to meet the needs of the entire Boulder Town?"
Odin said this to the administrative officer who had just arrived.
"Sir, I believe that based on the current development trend of the town, a thousand tons of grain storage is necessary."
"Haha, one thousand tons of wheat is only enough to feed five thousand people for one year."
"Then...two thousand tons?"
"Ten thousand tons."
"Ten... ten thousand tons?"
Ruvid was really shocked by the master.
"You heard it right, it's ten thousand tons."
"But sir, ten thousand tons of food may not be eaten in ten years!"
"Haha! Ruvid, you need to take a long-term view. It's just 10,000 tons. It's nothing at all. Only when there is sufficient food can the foundation for development be solid.
A 10,000-ton granary is actually not that big, so don’t scare yourself.”
Odin patted Ruvid on the shoulder and comforted him.
"Yes, sir, this subordinate has lost his temper."
Ruvid said this, but he kept wiping the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeves.
"Sir, where in the town do you want to build this granary?"
"Well... aren't there three timber warehouses next to the new residential area? Let's build them next to them!"
"Follow the Lord's arrangements!"
Ruvid responded and resigned. He needed to calm down his little heart to cope with the upcoming major project.
According to the volume proportion of wheat, one cubic meter of space can accommodate 0.75 tons of wheat.
To store 10,000 tons of wheat, 13,333 cubic meters are needed, which, rounded up, is 15,000 cubic meters.
Assuming that the granary is ten meters high, it would require an area of 1,500 square meters. This size is not unacceptable.
The super large hollow cylinder structure between the granaries cannot withstand tens of thousands of tons of pressure without collapsing just by relying on ordinary construction methods in this world.
This requires an extremely unpopular extraordinary profession to help build this granary.
This extraordinary profession is the magic circle construction engineer, Jian Cheng Magic Architect.
Magic Architects are a lineage that is subdivided from the magic array system. They specialize in various types of stable formations that can be added to buildings. They are a very rare profession. In many cases, they are held part-time by serious array masters.
In order to successfully build this granary, Odin announced the hiring of a magic builder through various channels, but this news took time to spread and ferment.
There will definitely be no definite news in a short period of time, because the Rock Territory does not have a rare profession like a magic architect.
During this waiting period, the city hall can do some preparatory work, such as collecting stones and digging foundations.
And our Master Odin returned to the normal rhythm of archery practice after a brief period of busyness.
Duh!
The shooting range in the backyard of the castle is where Odin and Sis practice archery.
"Wow! You succeeded, Lord. In one month, you managed to hit ten out of ten shots with a wooden bow!"
Our elf archer Instructor Sisi was about to cry with joy. Lord Odin can be said to be the apprentice with the slowest progress she has ever taken.
Although the salary is not less, watching a stupid student like Odin practice archery every day is a kind of torture for her.
According to the standards of the elves, it is the minimum standard for a young elf who has reached the age of archery to spend a week using a wooden bow to hit the bull's-eye at a distance of fifty meters.
If you fail to do it after more than a week, you will be considered to have poor talent and not suitable for using arrows.
Of course, this is the standard of elves and cannot be tried on Odin.
Because of his physical strength, Odin thought he could master it very quickly, but Sisi didn't understand it.
"Lord Odin, this wooden bow is just for you to get started. This first step has been completed. You can change to another bow. Here you go!"
Sisi took off another bow from behind and handed it to him.
Odin took the two bows that Sisi handed him and compared them. He found that this new bow was one-third longer than the wooden bow, and the bow body was much thicker.
"Sir, this is a standard hornwood bow, an upgraded version of the tire wood bow. Except for the difference in strength, the curvature of the bow body is exactly the same.
The hornwood bow has a draw force of 100 kilograms, and at special times it can be overloaded with a draw force of 120 kilograms. However, overload use will cause damage to the bow.
It will be scrapped after ten times at most, please use it with caution."
"Well, this bow should be easier to use. What are the requirements for proficiency?"
"Haha, the requirement for the hornwood bow is that it can hit the target every time at a distance of one hundred meters. I don't know how long it will take you to use it this time, hehe~"
"That's it, then half a month."
Odin said confidently.
"I don't believe it. It takes you a month to master even the simplest wooden bow, and the hornwood bow takes at least one and a half months."
Sisi wrinkled her cute nose, obviously not believing it.
"In that case, how about we make a bet?"
"What kind of bet? Don't make crooked ideas about me. Humans and elves are impossible!"
Sisi looked at Odin with wide eyes and suspicion, suspecting that she had fallen into some kind of trap.
"Well... that's not a big deal. My character is still guaranteed. How about just betting on one month's tuition!"
"Ha~ That's no problem. If you can meet the requirements I just mentioned in half a month, I will teach you for free for a month!
But if you don’t do it, hehe~”
Odin answered.
"If I don't do it, I'll pay double the tuition this month!"
"make a deal!"
"Haha, deal!"
Sisi raised her palms and high-fived Odin to confirm the bet.
In fact, beneath Sisi's arrogant appearance, Sisi has just grown up and still maintains a lively and fun-loving heart.
