Although Lux had long been accustomed to "listening to Kalya's words," she still instinctively felt disbelief after realizing the scope of the artificial lake planned by Kalya.
Lux didn't know much about engineering construction. If she had to say it, she only dug mines in Zaun for a few days, presided over the renovation of Zaun's urban area, and supervised the construction of Zaun's new port.
Coupled with her understanding of the history of the canal being dug by the Zaun people, Lux knew that project construction was something that required a lot of manpower and material resources.
Even with magic, the progress of the project can be accelerated to a certain extent, but to dig out an artificial lake as large as Kalya's plan requires less than a thousand mages and only takes one winter.
It's a little unbelievable.
"Vazuan's technology has its merits." Seemingly understanding Lux's doubts, Kalya cheerfully explained, "They did a good job of involving civilians in the project. This was something Shuri once did.
What Madu has not accomplished, but when it comes to the construction speed of the project, they are completely inadequate."
Lux and Ino both blinked.
"Take these drawings for example." Kalya continued, "Ino, when you were in Zaun, you also participated in the front-line coordination. Just take the drawing as an example. Draw the project according to Zaun's method.
How to make a picture?"
"Survey, measure, calculate, check, and draw." Ino nodded and subconsciously answered, "Finally, the drawing team makes the drawing."
"Well said." Karya agreed, "But do you know how I drew these drawings?"
Ino shook his head.
"Look carefully at the lines on the picture and use magic to feel it." Kalya reminded, "Although Shyvana is responsible for this picture, it should actually be regarded as my work."
Following Kalya's method, both Lux and Ino expanded their elemental vision, and then they were surprised to find that in the drawings provided by Kalja, most of the lines and symbols representing terrain and engineering requirements exuded
Unique to Shyvana, there is even a bit of burning aura of the fire element.
"Is this picture drawn with magic? Are these lines materialized magic?" Lux suddenly said, "Wait, let me take a closer look...the traces of mixed elements, and an aura similar to simulation training!
"
"The perception is quite sharp." Kalya chuckled, "I have done some research on space magic. When drawing these lines, I only need to let Shyvana take me to fly quickly, and at the same time shrink the path on the paper and record it.
Just come down - to be honest, I asked Ino to take me to find the dragon, not only to train the air force, but also to facilitate construction. If you don't have the ability to fly and just rely on walking, even if you have this method, drawing will be very troublesome.
.”
Hearing what Kalya said, Lux was simply stunned.
There is no doubt that Kalya's "drawing method" has exceeded her imagination.
In Runeterra, a place where "measurement, calculation and verification" have not really formed standards, Kalya's drawing method is already at the modeling level.
Through Shyvana's high mobility, Kalya can record his own action path through space magic, and then record the key terrain information of the engineering operation area in extremely detailed detail and build a model.
Then, he ran the "simulated artificial lake" again and drew the engineering information, finally forming this stack of drawings.
It is true that the person who drew these drawings is Shyvana, but to be precise, Shyvana is more like a pen or a scanner. She does not understand drawing at all, but she accurately draws the drawings according to the actual terrain.
All information has been “copied”!
After figuring out the joints, even though Lux and Ino thought they knew Kalya very well, they still felt a bit amazed in their hearts.
Before this, they had never thought that besides using earth element magic to move sand, magic had such applications!
After smacking their lips, the two little girls quickly looked at each other and almost simultaneously thought of the small world of Kalya and the sand dunes there.
Could it be that that world was copied from a certain place by Kalya?
"Although the scale of this project is not small, the construction difficulty is actually not that big." Kalya didn't know that they were thinking about the world of simulation training, and was very satisfied with their shocked attitude.
There are few people. Although the melted water from the snow-capped mountains will rumble over in the form of glaciers, the actual runoff is not high. The construction of this artificial lake is not too difficult - and the law protectors are all extremely qualified.
Mages, very few people can master space mapping techniques like mine, but among the mages, there is a guy who has a unique perception of space..."
It seemed that he was a little excited when talking about the project. Kalya rarely talked about many things in the past, and during his narration, Lux finally understood how rare it is to be a spellcaster with unique talents.
According to Kalya, when there is sufficient magic power, excavation of earth could not be easier for the caster - whether it is using explosives or digging, the caster can always do it in a way that is difficult for ordinary people.
In an accessible way, rapid engineering construction can be carried out.
In contrast, many seemingly mundane tasks are particularly troublesome to do.
For example, the reinforcement of the lake shore, the control of the slope of the lake bottom, the structural solidification of frozen soil, and the quality assurance of projects under huge temperature differences, etc., are the major issues.
If you just dig a hole, it won't be easy to rely on these spellcasters!
……………………
After spending a whole morning, Lux and Ino finally had a concrete concept of "using magic to dig an artificial lake."
For them, this is a brand new field, and most of the engineering experience accumulated in Zaun has to be overturned.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After Kalya finally finished all the construction ideas, Lux asked a question in confusion while digesting the information: "If the caster can do it so easily
If you can do things that are difficult for ordinary people to do, then why do you insist on industrializing magic? Just to let more people become spellcasters?"
"No, this is a very complicated matter." When asked about this topic, Kalya's tone finally stopped being excited, "How should I put it... In your opinion, what was the model of the Shurima Empire? Damn it.
The kind that involves the Ascended Ones in carrying out big projects.”
"Although I have only traveled through part of the area, I think it is very good." Lux blinked and said honestly, "You have cultivated many animals and plants suitable for various places, and built amazing projects, many of which even
Until now, except for the source of power being a little biased, it has been almost perfect."
"That's what I thought at first." Kalya smacked her lips, "But later on, Shurima was fragmented - even if I asked for equal education, the entire Shurima is still in an extremely fragmented state...
...If Shurima can be as united as it was in the early days of its founding, a hundred battles in Icathia will not tear it apart."
Lux's eyes were dull. Obviously, this part of the content was a bit out of line and she couldn't understand it yet.
"Everything has a price. The ascended ones have created all the brilliance, so when the contradictions cannot be reconciled, the empire will fall apart. But those ordinary people who have shared this glory because of the ascended ones are in the midst of this change.
I'm helpless." Kalya sighed softly, "Forget it, let's not talk about it. The thousand-year-old empire has always had all kinds of weird shortcomings. The only thing I can do is to try my best to start over.
Maybe the foundation will be laid stronger, let alone this - well, Shyvana, go call Sona, her class schedule should be almost out."
Sona's class schedule has indeed been released.
Although there are more than 80 groups of people who want to take classes, the actual arrangement of the courses is not complicated - because the talents of the law protectors are taken into account when grouping, so the content of the courses that people in the same group need to teach are similar.
In other words, for lectures, a group of people can be regarded as "one person".
The course for more than eighty people was taken care of by Lux, Ino and Sona. It was actually not that difficult. At least in this winter, they could handle it.
Compared with courses, the actual work part is more difficult to schedule.
Even if Kalya can provide each group with a construction plan, there is a serious shortage of manpower responsible for determining construction supervision.
After all, these mages are all real rookies. No matter how detailed the construction plan given by Kalya is, they may not be able to fully understand the requirements and purpose.
At present, only Kalya knows how to do the entire artificial lake project. Apart from Kalya, even Lux and Ino know little about it, let alone those who have never had such "magic engineering experience".
The ruler of the law!
The chief engineer and chief designer are top-notch, but below the chief engineer, all the staff are rookies who know nothing!
This is the biggest difficulty of this project in Kalya's eyes.
Unfortunately, this issue cannot be urgent. Even Karya can only try his best to standardize the construction goals of each group as much as possible, and then start with simple tasks and let the leaders of each group supervise them on their behalf.
Fortunately, the Archivists were very enthusiastic about their work. Even though the temperature in Forsbarrow in winter was very low, after getting the plan and arriving at the scheduled construction location, the Archivists were still enthusiastic, and the entire project site was in full swing.
……………………
At sunrise in the snow, Bnocklin and the members of Group 77 were brought to the predetermined location according to Kalya's request.
Unlike the group not far away that gathered together densely and prepared to start digging soil and clearing dust, most of the people in Bnocklin's group had talents related to magic.
Therefore, according to the plan distributed before, their job content is to plant trees.
Specifically, trees were planted along the edge of the lake planned by Kalya.
To be honest, Bnocklin and his team members were very confused when they received the plan - didn't it say that we were going to dig an artificial lake? Why did they come to plant trees?
In this regard, Eno, who was responsible for distributing the mission statement at the time, also gave an explanation.
"The frozen soil in Forsbarrow has poor stability. In order to stabilize the lake shore, in addition to lithification and reinforcement, a forest must be planted ten yards away from the lake shore."
This statement made Bnocklin and the members of Team 77 feel very novel and interesting - although in winter, the frozen soil was as hard as stone, but in the previous autumn, the land here was
It's soft. Although they don't understand what seasonally frozen soil is, they think that even if a lake is dug in this kind of land, sooner or later it will slowly collapse and be backfilled.
Using a combination of tree planting and rock reinforcement to maintain the lakeshore sounds like a really good idea!
Maybe ordinary people don't know it, but Group 77 has been working with plants all year round, so they naturally understand the importance of plant roots in reinforcing soil!
This arrangement made all members of the 77 team who were worried that they would not be able to help feel very motivated.
They really don't know how to dig soil and dust, but they are particularly good at planting trees!
Bunocklin can accelerate the growth of trees, and the acceleration effect is directly related to the magic power it provides.
As long as the sapling is planted in the soil, in one afternoon, Bunocklin can make it grow into a big tree that needs to be hugged by both hands!
However... before they start planting trees, according to the requirements of the plan, the first thing they need to do is to select a tree species that can grow on frozen soil and is easy to plant.
There are many types of trees near Forsbarrow, but most of them are low shrubs - it is difficult for ordinary trees to grow on this seasonally frozen soil.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In order to find a tree that can grow on frozen soil under artificial catalytic conditions, Bunocklin took members of the same group and began to experimentally catalyze
various trees.
This is a rather boring task.
Lux collected a lot of Forsbarrow's tree species through Forsbarrow's Chamber of Commerce, and after these seeds were handed over to Team 77, Bnocklin and three other team members who could directly promote plant growth would
Carry out catalysis and preliminary screening on frozen soil.
Through magic acceleration, confirm whether these seeds can germinate on frozen soil.
Because there are many tree species, it takes a lot of magic power and time to fully catalyze the tree to become a big tree, so this kind of screening only focuses on germination and stops until it grows into a sapling.
Then, among the saplings that successfully passed the initial screening, they continued to carry out secondary catalysis and third catalysis.
After spending half a month, Bnocklin finally succeeded in finding a tree that can grow normally on the frozen soil: the dragon's spine larch.
This coniferous tree, native to the foothills of the Longji Mountains, is well adapted to the frozen soil environment and can germinate and grow directly in the frozen soil environment.
In order to confirm its reliability, after initially determining the tree species, Fouquelin quickly followed up and began to simulate the prosperity and decline of the dragon's spine larch.
Fouquelin, who is only sixteen years old this year, is the youngest member of Group 77. She is the little girl who can catalyze the growth of plants and quickly complete the growth and decline of plants throughout their lives.
A larch sapling spawned by Bunocklin was randomly selected, and its life cycle was suddenly accelerated by Fauquelin.
Germinating in the frozen soil environment in winter, the seedling Longji larch grew rapidly and soon became an adult pine tree.
At the same time, the three members of Group 32 (jokingly called the temperature control group) cooperated with Fouquelin's catalysis to reciprocally heat the frozen soil and the surrounding air, and began to simulate the four seasons year after year.
change.
Time seems to be accelerated. Whether it is the growth rate of the Longji Larch or the change rate of the surrounding temperature, every hour is a season.
Three days later, the larch seemed to have grown for eighteen years—it was already a towering tree!
During these three days, the three people in Group 32 could work in cycles. However, in order to maintain the magic effect continuously and specifically sense the changes in the life of the dragon's spine larch to prevent the tree from withering early, Fouquelin could not let go at all!
On the first morning, Fouquelin was just holding the sapling with one hand.
By noon, she had to hug the little tree with one arm.
At night, when the trees bloomed for the first time, Fouquelin put her arms around the pine tree, smelled the oil, and was fed a meal.
By the second day, she could no longer hold on to the tree and had no choice but to climb up the branch.
Fouquelin was young and her magic control ability was not good enough. She could maintain a stable supply of magic power even when she couldn't sleep. In this case, she could only force herself to stay up and survive the 72 hours.
.
When Bunocklin announced that the experiment was successful, confirming that Dragon's Ridge larch could be catalytically planted in frozen soil, and the work of Group 77 entered the next stage, the long-simmering exhaustion finally completely overwhelmed Fouquelin's consciousness.
Her whole body felt light and she fell directly from the tree.
Bunoklin and others caught her immediately - but even so, Fouquelin didn't wake up. When Bunoklin was sent back to the camp, she was still snoring like thunder.
In the temporary camps and construction sites, there are still 85 working groups working as hard as the 77 group.
……………………
The wind and snow are once again blowing in Forsbarrow.
In this snowy sky, 86 working groups and more than 900 legal practitioners took turns studying and working.
These were all geniuses, but they had never received the treatment of true geniuses. They were accustomed to belittling themselves. Under Karya's plan, for the first time, they demonstrated the power of magic that could change the world.
They used their own methods and their own strength to turn the obscure construction drawings into reality bit by bit.
They have no experience, so in order to meet the job requirements, they control their magic power awkwardly and simulate everything with magic.
During this process, they ignored the overdraft of magic power and braved the wind and snow.
In their hands, magic is no longer a disaster, but a tool to change the world.
While changing the world, they are also quietly changing themselves - perhaps in Noxus, powerful magic means strong combat effectiveness and a high social status.
But here, in Forsbarrow, a group of geniuses that can be snatched by all the war groups in Noxus, the first lesson in magic practice is to use this power to create a new life for oneself.
In the wind and snow, the diggers were still digging, and the tree planters were still planting trees. Lux and Ino were giving advanced classes to several elemental magic groups and energy magic groups respectively.
But Kalya, who was supposed to help Lux prepare lessons, returned to her own little world like a fish.
In the small world, the yellow sand blew by and spread.
It seemed like there was heavy snow falling outside.
