This strange building with long trapezoidal walls and long curved vaults slowly emerged from the rock that seemed to have turned into a fluid.
There was no vibration, no noise, except for the shining magic light. It was as if this building had already existed, sunk beneath the water composed of rocks, and now it was just pushing away from the rocks above and floating to the ground.
As the final curing light came on, it only took a few minutes. Even Case's sweat on installing the copper plates had not dried yet. This extremely simple building was already standing in the roaring sea breeze.
Even the workers who had seen the construction process many times before in the construction of residential houses also gave out warm cheers this time.
After all, there is a big difference between the experience of a small house growing out of the ground and a building the size of several auditoriums strung together suddenly.
"This house looks like a whole loaf of freshly baked bread!"
Bolu sighed and picked up the trumpet again:
"Procedure completed, cut off energy!"
Polu watched as the workers rushed to the two rows of more than ten machines sandwiched between the two sides of the building, which were almost the same size as the original furnaces they saw when they first arrived in Hongshan. They removed the pipelines connected together and turned the hand wheels.
Lift the action plate mounted on the robotic arm off the ground.
These machines, whose core parts were manufactured by Landau himself, are obviously very expensive. Just to ensure the transformation power, the action plate that touches the ground is made of mithril filigree inlaid on a circular steel plate.
What's even more exaggerated is that each machine has four such action plates, which are connected to the machine body like the support arms put down by the lunar module. Unfortunately, this side is facing down and in contact with the ground, so you can't feel it during operation.
It is a grand occasion when the high-quality and exquisitely crafted array is in operation.
"I feel like the teacher doesn't take these materials so seriously after he used a lot of crystals last time? Mithril is even willing to use them."
These machines, which use a lot of high-end materials, were prototyped by Polu and Zhu Yiwei, and improved and manufactured after Landau joined. After all, it is common for mages to cast spells to transform terrain, and she has learned how to use spells to transform small-scale terrain—
-For example, the stone wall spell. The mage uses it to resist damage, and Bolu wants to use it to protect the workers from bad weather!
The stone wall pulled out from the stone by the Stone Wall Technique will naturally not collapse out of thin air after the spell stops. However, according to Zhu Yiwei's explanation, the more troublesome thing is that the corresponding spell can only be cast on the corresponding terrain. The Stone Wall Technique can only be cast on stones.
, Correspondingly, earth walls can only be deployed on land.
“What if it’s a mix of rock and dirt?”
Polu stopped asking such questions.
"They are all earth elements. As long as you have strong enough control, you can turn soil into stone, or turn stone into soil. You can definitely release it."
What Zhu Yiwei's answer highlights is that it is simple and crude - as long as the control is strong enough, I can let it go.
"Besides, aren't you using a magic memory to power this? With such a high power, it will definitely work. Don't worry!"
Originally, Polu's design was to use two corresponding fixed targets, first pull out the stone walls and then generate the foundation, and finally control the growth of these stone walls together, which is mechanically generated, simple and convenient.
The disadvantage is that this can only generate the four walls that make up the house. Things that need to be controlled, including the floor, still need to be built manually. As a result, Landau saw it during the equipment experiment.
"Why is your idea so weird? You actually use stone wall magic to build a house?"
Landau was once again shocked by his student's thoughts, and then was made to cry by Polu.
"Now that you've thought about it, is it that difficult to lift up four walls in one go? Is it that difficult to control the positions of windows and door openings on the walls?"
Bolu scratched his head: "It's really difficult. We can only directly let the stone wall technique work on the ground. As for finely controlling the shape, this is really not possible."
"It's the same as direct shaping! Use the mental power frame to restrain the magic shape... Well, it's okay. I just forgot about you. It's very interesting. I will do this part."
Bolu, who was judged to be incompetent, lowered his head in shame, blocking the ecstatic expression on his face.
"The mental power framework guides magic restraint? Damn, is this too advanced? Why does it sound like directional growth? Is there such a high-end technology?"
So Landau brought its own technology and materials to join this experimental project.
The boss has the skills and Polu has the ideas. Soon, these transformation machines were produced - unfortunately, the stone walls released are still limited by the stone wall technique itself, and the width is limited.
When increasing the magic energy level, if you want to widen the width of the generated stone wall, you can only achieve it by connecting the transformation machine.
The newly made finished product can only generate a very limited number of shapes. If Bolu wants to create walls of other shapes, he must either choose to build a new transformation machine with a different shape of magic frame, or choose to create his own
guide.
After patting his head and reminiscing, it was impossible to write a program on the spot. So Bolu chose another direction - inserting industrial control. He engraved what he wanted on a copper plate according to a fixed proportion and let the magic machine read it.
The rest is left to the magic machinery that performs fixed steps.
Soon, the Mark Rabbit version insert modification machine appeared in Landau's laboratory.
These heavy machines have been brought to the construction site here by using all the idle tractors in recent days. It took a lot of effort for hundreds of workers to install them one by one using small gantry cranes that can be pushed.
The early preparations have now yielded good results. Polu said to Landau with uncontrollable joy on his face:
"Teacher, let me go over and check."
Although there is no problem in theory with this technology that has been used before, this is the first time that the one-time forming technology has been put into practice on such a tall and large-span building.
Safety first, it's better to check it out.
Landau nodded.
So Polu picked up a small hammer from the tool box, walked under the outer wall, and observed it carefully - without the technology of fluoroscopy, he could just make do by tapping and listening for the sound.
The wall of this building showed a texture like pockmarks. Boru hit it with a small hammer and made a dull sound. There was no sign of the stone peeling off, not even a small white spot was left.
"Well, it's not hollow, and it shouldn't be layered. This thing is more convenient than using concrete. As long as there are enough materials, everything can be done in an instant!"
He walked around in a circle, knocking on the wall every short distance, and found no cracks except for the expansion and contraction gaps deliberately left in each section.
"It's really hard. This technology has great advantages in large-scale construction. I will try to incorporate steel beams later. If it can be done, it will be more convenient."
But this result made it difficult to control a problem in his mind that he had deliberately not thought about before.
"No matter how many times I see the things that magic can do, I still feel it is exaggerated. What is the principle of this thing?"
"Although I only learned how to apply it, why did this change that is close to the reality of fantasy projection occur? Which interaction force changed? The theory of the mages is still the element theory, and they can actually use this thing
Everything works, and it actually works! But this doesn’t solve my deep doubts!”
At this time, he had already finished inspecting the shell of the building. Faced with what might be one of the ultimate problems in the world, he had no choice but to stop his steps and thoughts at the same time and call the people waiting next to the venue to come over.
One end of this building is facing the sea. From the ground to the roof where the ground should be, there is now a huge square cavity. Geora walked over and pointed at this regular space: "Little manager, the wall here is
What about the surface? In such a high space, why won’t it collapse if there are no pillars?”
"There are no walls here. This vault can only be made if it is self-supporting without pillars!"
"Self-supporting?"
Geola remembered this term coined by Po Lusen, which sounded like a long speech. He decided to wait until later to ask, and first asked about another content that gave him a bad premonition.
"There's no wall? Is it just empty?"
"Of course not! This is your next task, to build a movable door for this cavity!"
Geola was shocked, and her ominous premonition was so accurate every time.
"Oh my God, such a tall door? Even if it is built, how can it be obtained from the iron factory?"
"Are you stupid? Just make it out of pieces and assemble it!"
Geola was shocked again. All the doors he had seen in his decades of life were complete doors - after all, it was the job of alchemists to make the city gates of various cities. In order to improve the defense, they would make the entire door.
The material of the city gate melted into one piece, so there was no reaction at all.
Before he came back to his senses, Polu had already started talking again:
"Don't worry, I've already designed it, and I'll wait for it to be shipped here for assembly. We'll discuss this issue later when we go to the iron factory. Let's take a look here first. I don't know how to check the vault here yet.
…”
He turned around and saw Landau put down his raised hand and was dispersing the aura in his hand.
He said, "I had already checked it when you were talking. The internal structure is fairly well-proportioned and there are no problems. You can go in."
"That's great. I'm worried about the internal structure. Teacher, is this a spell?"
"When the general construction is completed, arrangements will be made for you."
Before Poru had finished speaking, Landau had already learned to answer the question.
Landau took out a handful of small beads and threw them into the air. The beads flew out like water, but under his guidance, they formed an array at a certain distance in the air, and then slowly rose and suspended.
Above everyone's heads, a faint light gradually brightened.
Following Doran's pace, this lighting array can actually follow itself!
Show off your skills!
Bolu thought in his mind: "Is the protagonist today a teacher? Every set of operations is so arrogant!"
After walking in this tall space for a while, little Eileen finally couldn't restrain herself and joined the ranks of curious babies:
"Polu, is there nothing in here? You just made a shell, why don't you also make the space inside?"
"The factory space itself should be like this. How wonderful it is to have a huge column-free space! Besides, I would also like to do the inside well, but I can't do it!"
"The modification machine we have on hand can only go so far. Being able to make such a large shell tightly is our current limit. Didn't you see when we installed the copper plates? There are so many copper plates to form this frame.
The structure of the house is also built, and the structure inside the house is also built? Do you really want me to wait until next year?"
"It has been a great success to be able to mold this tall circular vault shell in one go. Let Case arrange the space inside."
