"I can tell you how to make Miya cement. However, first I need to ensure the condition of the Holmuland soldiers, and you also need to provide evidence that you can allow us to leave safely."
Baron Holmland became quiet. It must be said that even in this situation, his mind was very clear. He knew what he wanted, and at the same time he was questioning Xavier's current strength.
As an exiled Highness, can he have the ability to leave Nori safely? You must know that the terrifying thing about the Heretic Tribunal is that it is so pervasive.
"There is also a royal investigator from the Holy City, His Highness Xavier. I have some idea of your abilities now."
Baron Holmland said, a light appeared in his eyes.
Xavier didn't answer him, or he didn't listen to what the baron was saying at all. There was only the word "cement" in his mind.
"I call it Mia cement." Xavier repeated this sentence softly, "I", who is this "I"? He may be a very powerful craftsman who found the method of making cement by himself.
But speaking of this, Xavier recalled that before this, he had not heard any news about cement construction. In other words, if he was a craftsman, he did not make this method public, which is obviously not in line with common sense.
.
Or there is another possibility... Xavier frowned. This man, like himself, is a time traveler.
Nineteen years later, Xavier has never forgotten his past identity, and he hides too many secrets.
And if you meet the same time traveler, you cannot use this world's judgment on others to deal with him. Lighting a torch in the dark jungle will definitely attract the covetousness of other hunters.
"...Your Highness, what do you think?" After waiting for a long time, Baron Holmland spoke again.
"Tell me who is the person who created this spell for you, and I can give you an additional 5,000 gold dragons, so that you can quickly build your own army even in other countries."
How much, how much? Baron Holmland swallowed, five thousand gold dragons?! He only had more than five hundred gold dragons a year, but the moment his highness opened his mouth, it was his ten years of gold dragons!
"Sorry, our deal is just that I will give you the blueprints to create a method, and you will let Holmullander's people leave safely." Baron Holmullander tugged at the corner of his mouth, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying.
“Is there no room for deal expansion?”
"Then I think we might end it early." Baron Holmland coughed, raised his head, and looked at Xavier without fear.
"Okay, then Mr. Baron, how are you going to demonstrate to me that what you are talking about can really build a seven-meter-high city wall within a month?"
Xavier adjusted his numb sitting posture and looked at Baron Holmland with interest.
"Your Highness, I think your conversation with this liar Baron can end here." Arthur, who had been standing behind Xavier, frowned. He couldn't help but take a step forward and said in a deep voice.
"To build a seven-meter-high city wall, let's first consider its width to be two and a half meters. It is just a stone barrier building and external structure, and it surrounds Noli City for at least 1,000 meters in length. It is just a trench and stone barrier.
It will take at least half a year to move it from Linglan to Xuansiti and then to Noli."
"And the expenditure of manpower and resources is unimaginable. Your Highness, let me give you an example. Alex once said that the Rose Annex Castle on the northwest border is five meters high, two meters wide, and approximately
It is about 500 meters. Just the stone barrier took more than 300 knights and craftsmen four months to complete."
"As well as the subsequent buildings and arrow towers, watchtowers, fire cannon towers and defensive facilities on the city wall, it took three years from the start to the completion. The city defense of Noli is far greater than the project of the Rose Annex City.
According to him, the time when Rose Annex City was built..."
"His Royal Highness Manton Long can surround the entire Santinoa!"
Baron Holmland raised his eyes and looked at Arthur with disdain: "This knight, 1000 years ago, people didn't believe that stone can be used to cut city walls. 500 years ago, people also didn't believe it.
They didn’t know that the reformed silver mining machine could promote the use of machinery. They also wouldn’t have thought that Master Albert could build a steam engine twelve years ago..."
"The situation of mechanical dominance in silver mines has been reformed. Steam only requires water, which has made precious silver mining machines largely obsolete in a few years. But if you said hundreds of years ago that water could drive machinery, people would just look at it.
Look at you like a stupid lunatic."
"This is reform, the technology that changes the world. So, Your Highness Xavier, have you decided?"
Are those who graduated from the Department of Architecture and those who graduated from the Department of Psychology really better at the development of other worlds? Xavier pondered for a while. He knew about cement, but if he was asked to make cement, he really knew nothing about it.
After all, there are so many different walks of life, and he would never have imagined that one day he would have to worry about how to make cement.
"Okay, then the deal is done. I really need this technology." Xavier thought for a while, using Michelle to make an ice wall was not very reliable after all. It can be tested, but there is nothing wrong with having an extra layer of protection.
"Hey, these are construction drawings, but let me remind you first. Temperature control requires extremely professional people. For every ton of Miya cement made, at least three tons of materials are required, including fuel ore, raw materials and gypsum."
Xavier nodded. He looked at the drawings that Baron Holmland had arrived. Arthur had already checked them and there was no poison on them.
"Raw meal grinding can be divided into two types: dry method and wet method. The dry method generally adopts a closed-circuit operating system, that is, after the raw materials are ground finely by the mill, they enter the powder separator for sorting, and the coarse powder flows back into the mill for further grinding.
, and most of them adopt the process of drying and grinding the materials at the same time in the mill. The equipment used includes tube mill, intermediate discharge mill and roller mill, etc..."
It was a rather sloppy font, but it was easy to read. Xavier examined it carefully and found that a lot of professional knowledge was replaced with nouns from this world. It was obvious that this person was very good at these things.
And this was a man's handwriting, Xavier recognized it. It was sharp-edged and full of arrogance. The man should have written it at night, under the light of a candle. There were also traces of candle oil dripping, but it was wiped off by that man.
Apart from.
"The Mia stone must be made from the orthodox Mia Island stone. If it is not available, it can be replaced with Bader stone. Then some changes will be needed in the calcining process..."
"To my friend, Justin Holmland, break your destiny."
At the end of the drawing, Xavier saw this line of text. It was written in italics, no longer so sloppy, and more orthodox.
Xavier calmly put away the drawings and nodded slightly towards Arthur.
"The transaction is completed. I will go through the formalities for you. There will be five large merchant ships waiting for you at the port tomorrow afternoon. I wish you good luck!"
Xavier put on his trench coat and knocked on the iron pipe beside him. The warden outside quickly opened the door.
"Let him go, I'll be responsible for anything that happens." Xavier walked towards the dungeon door without looking back! Arthur on the side followed closely behind.
