Martin also rushed over quickly. The ancestor gods of his universe couldn't get through, but it seemed that there were ancestor gods in the Marvel universe. He set up an altar outside and summoned one for a long time, and he actually summoned one.
Currently, there are no students of Mexican origin in Cama Taj Magic Academy, so no one has summoned a god from the Aztec pantheon, and Martin is the first one.
The magic rules of this universe are much clearer than those of DC. They are not so obscure and unfamiliar. The ancestral gods such as the Egyptian gods and the Astek gods are not very demanding. They do not have to ask for your internal organs or soul to give you power.
Most of them are just for worship.
"The pantheon here is much more complete than that over there." Martin said: "Quetzalcoatl is very interested in this place, so I signed a contract with him first, but according to him, I can also sign contracts with other gods.
, but having him alone is enough for now."
Soon a person who was not within Stark's expectation but not unexpected came, and that was Xu Shangqi.
He also looked dusty and exhausted, and he looked like a college student who had stayed up for days and nights to catch up on his progress.
"How is the space station cooperation project going?" Schiller asked.
"It's okay, but those Indians are too difficult to deal with. I can't understand the English they speak." Xu Shangqi was obviously full of complaints, but in the end he swallowed it back and just said: "The relationship between China and the United States
The technical cooperation is going quite smoothly, and although there are still several patented technologies that have been difficult to negotiate, there have been breakthroughs in cooperation on more than a dozen projects."
"Is he also a magician?" Pamela asked.
"Oh, hello miss, I am not." Xu Shangqi was very humble and polite. He said, "You can understand that I am a monk and belong to the Eastern Power System."
"Have you already visited Kunlun?"
"Yes, we also went to Qingcheng Mountain and Shaolin Temple." Xu Shangqi thought for a while and said: "They said we could go to Tianting and Lingshan, but I really don't have time, so I have to wait for another day."
"How is the Great Sage?"
"Busy, very busy." Xu Shangqi waved his hand and said: "He said that he has not been so busy since he jumped out of the stone, but rather than being busy, I feel that he is more annoyed by those Indian gods.
I don’t have any skills, but I’m very arrogant and annoying to death.”
Schiller could clearly see that he had grown up a lot. He was no longer the panicked kid who had just traveled through time, but had now devoted himself wholeheartedly to his new career.
At present, Xu Shangqi is mainly involved in the exchange of Sino-US technical cooperation projects at the Xinghe Space Station, acting as a middleman and responsible for various reception tasks. He can also be regarded as his old profession in civil engineering.
At the same time, because Xu Shangqi himself practices the Eastern system, he has a good relationship with the magic side here, and has even dealt with some famous figures here.
The first is Monkey, followed by Kunlun, then Longhu Mountain, Wudang, Qingcheng Mountain, Shaolin Temple, Fahua Temple and other sects.
But this time Schiller called him over to do something more professional. He handed Xu Shangqi a design drawing and said: "We are going to build a plant cultivation and experimental base here. This is the first phase of the project drawing.
."
Xu Shangqi let out a cry, but still looked at the drawings seriously. After half a day, he said: "The design is very good, both beautiful and practical, and there are no problems in terms of safety. The only problem is how do you plan to make such a blockbuster
Building built?”
Several people came over to look at the design drawing in his hand, and saw that what was drawn on the design drawing was not one or two buildings, but more like a drawing of a community.
The three villages of Shambhala are scattered at different heights. The lowest is about 5,500 meters above sea level, and the highest is more than 7,000 meters above sea level. The middle altitude difference is 2,000 meters. This design makes full use of the difference and integrates five greenhouses into one.
It is distributed in a spiral shape on the only way to pass through the three villages.
Among them, two are large greenhouses, and there are three small specialized greenhouses. In addition to greenhouse buildings, there are also facilities such as open-air farmland, medicinal fields and springs, as well as several phases of greening plans.
It can be seen that this design idea is not entirely for practicality, but considering that in order to make Shambhala's medicinal materials famous, it is inevitable for tourists to have a little contact with the mysterious Shambhala, and it is inevitable to create wonders
.
In addition, there are structures such as sky islands and suspended plank roads, which seem to be used for tourists to visit. There are also supporting oxygen supply stations, power stations, and network signal base stations, which make people look big.
"With all due respect, the road has not yet been passed, and it is difficult to build ordinary village houses. This kind of big project is really outrageous."
Everyone can hear that Xu Shangqi is already very tactful.
They are now visiting the village at the bottom, and they can clearly see that the pillar industry here is handicraft industry. Whether it is buildings or crops, there are very strong traces of handicrafts.
Take houses for example. Most of the houses are made by cutting down trees on the spot, and then people build wooden houses with their shoulders and hands. The mining technology of stone is not as good as that in the Middle Ages, and most of them are only used for decoration.
There are no large-scale construction machinery here, and even the roads are crowded plank roads. Although the south side of the village is close to the cliffs, there is a lot of space for building things, but we hope that large buildings can be built in the engineering civilization stage here.
Still thinking a little too much.
Of course, China is not without ancient wonders. In other words, this country is the only civilization that has continued to build large-scale wonders in ancient times and still continues to this day.
But this is not a feudal society after all, and Kamal Taj is not a slave owner. Even if he were just a few hundred people in the village, let alone building the Great Wall, he wouldn't be able to dig out much soil.
??????55.??????
Some people may say that there is magic, but magic is energy. So far, human mages do not have the technology to turn reality into reality, which means that they cannot use magic energy to create things out of thin air. Even if they can create things, what they create is energy condensed into substance.
rather than real matter.
So at most they can only do some destructive work such as excavation and rock removal, and they can also do some heavy lifting work. However, a large number of stone and wood processing, data measurement, structural integration, and component docking are all very real problems, and there is no such thing here.
People can do these jobs.
Xu Shangqi kept shaking his head and sighing, and Stark also said: "It would be great if I could bring a mechanical engineering brood over, but it's a pity that Pepper doesn't allow me to enter the laboratory."
"Intelligent engineering nests are not enough." Schiller said: "They are used to using synthetic materials. If they want to build without destroying the village's style, they can only use original materials, and the treatment of original materials is also
It takes time to learn, and more importantly, it will waste raw materials, and there are not many raw materials here."
Pamela's face became more and more solemn, and she said: "I just took a look and found that the root system of underground plants is not dense and cannot be cut down in large quantities. As for stones, I don't know much about them, but I know that since most of them in ancient times in the East
It is a wooden building, which proves that the stone resources here are not abundant."
"The main reason is that it is difficult to mine." Xu Shangqi added, which he learned in university courses. He said: "There are so many magnificent stone churches in Europe mainly because they have abundant stone reserves and
There are many open-pit stone mines and there is a natural transportation hub like the Mediterranean Sea for transportation."
"In comparison, stone in ancient China was basically underground, and it was far less easy to obtain than wood resources. Therefore, most ancient buildings were made of wood. They were fine for use at the time, but they were not easy to preserve."
"What about transporting from the outside?" Stark asked: "Sichuan is very close to here, isn't there enough stone there?"
"That's the problem," Schiller said: "Stephen wants to show his sincerity, but isn't transporting supplies from China the same as asking the examiner for answers? He still wants to be self-reliant."
"This is a bit troublesome." Pamela said: "I think I need to go back to Bruce to get some information. When he carried out the Gotham renovation project, he was able to save materials to the extreme while ensuring safety and comfort.
At the same time, no very advanced synthetic materials are used, they are basically original materials.”
"Original material? Reinforced concrete?"
"It's not impossible if we can really use reinforced concrete as the skeleton." Xu Shangqi said: "Anyway, it's just a retro appearance. At worst, we can just make patches on the outside. The steel-concrete structure is indeed the most economical and strongest structure.
"
"As for this?" Xu Shangqi glanced at the drawing in his hand, "It is a completely retro construction method. The wooden one is the mortise and tenon structure, and the stone one is the medieval support structure. It can only be said that it has strong artistic and architectural aesthetic value.
It’s just not realistic.”
"But doesn't reinforced concrete also have no materials?" Stark asked, "Don't tell me there is a place to produce ready-made steel bars and cement."
"It's true, but we have alternatives." Helen suddenly said: "Don't forget, as long as it reaches the strength of reinforced concrete, you don't care what material it is?"
"you mean?"
"Do you remember the Sandman?"
"You mean the guy who always had trouble with Peter before?" Stark thought about it and said, "Last time when Peter came back, he said that he always seemed to dislike him, and he didn't forget to quarrel with him on the way home from get off work."
"Did he participate in the construction of the space station before? Where does he work now?" Schiller asked.
Stark took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Nick, and received a reply soon. He said: "This guy is working on the moon now. Do you remember the moon back transformation plan?"
"Oh, you mean the Lunar Battleship Project?"
"Can you please stop mentioning this outrageous name?" Stark said helplessly: "All countries are refuting the rumors. We are only carrying out limited modifications to the moon, and we are not trying to drive it away! Why do the Chinese like to drive the planet?
run?!"
"Let's get down to business." Helen brought the topic back and said: "I heard that he can compress sand to the extreme to form a new building material with excellent insulation and breathability properties, as well as good adhesion.
."
"But there's no sand here, is there?" Pamela asked.
"He can make sand by himself, or he is sand himself. He can shape himself into various shapes. Recently, he has developed the ability to compress molecules in his body and has become stronger." Stark looked at Nick and said
The information that came over was summarized.
"It sounds powerful, doesn't it have any weaknesses?" Barry asked.
"He is a little afraid of water. Water will make him slow, but logically he should not have this weakness. Maybe it is a psychological problem." Schiller said: "I have only met him once before and never fought with him.
Let’s wait until he comes and ask again.”
Suddenly, Stark's phone rang. After picking up the phone, he spoke a few words to the person on the other side, and then hung up the phone.
"Something went wrong," Stark said. "Baker resigned about a week ago with nothing in his resignation letter, and now none of his former colleagues and friends can contact him."
