The hot air balloon slowly descended, landing beside the city wall currently under construction.
This ti, the balloon touched down at the location where Shan Qiu was stationed.
Because the city wall construction was proceeding from two directions simultaneously, Shan Qiu had to shuttle between both sites.
"Shaman, why have you co in person? That is too dangerous." Shan Qiu imdiately moved forward to greet him.
Despite having lost both legs, his forward montum was no slower than soone who still possessed them.
"I’ve co to inspect the progress of the city wall construction." Su Bai said calmly.
He observed that everyone was covered head to toe in dust, their hair, shoulders and faces all coated with grey powder.
The muscles in their hands appeared even more robust than before, suggesting just how gruelling the work had been during this period.
"Shaman, the city wall construction has been progressing steadily without any errors." Shan Qiu hurriedly reported.
"No need to rush. I’m simply here to observe." Su Bai waved his hand dismissively.
From the tone in his voice, it was evident that Shan Qiu had grown tense, assuming that Su Bai had co to press for faster completion of the wall.
"Shaman, there’s too much dust here. Let’s move sowhere further away to speak." Shan Qiu took the lead, guiding them forward.
Using two wooden blocks in his hands, he propped himself up and moved towards a nearby Teepee.
That Teepee wasn’t used for living quarters, but rather for storing supplies – sotis food, sotis water were kept inside.
Su Bai and the others followed behind towards the Teepee, constantly glancing back at the workers constructing the city wall.
Their division of labour remained remarkably clear, so transported stones, others polished them, and so produced the grass ash cent.
There were also those who began laying the city wall foundations, planning the wall’s trajectory, and ensuring the wall wasn’t being built crookedly.
In short, everyone’s work was intensely busy, and nobody was slacking in their duties.
Su Bai entered the Teepee and scanned the interior before asking, "How much longer will the city wall construction need?"
As for the wall’s construction tiline, he could only make rough estimates. The specific tifra would need to co from Shan Qiu. After all, when it ca to constructing city walls, he was the expert. Only he would know approximately how long it would take to complete the wall.
"Shaman, it may not be that quick, because this is the second revised plan."
Shan Qiu produced a stool and passed it over, continuing, "Following the current design blueprints, it will likely take two to three years."
"Are you referring to the ti needed to completely encircle everything, or the ti to build the wall to its full height as well?" Su Bai sat on the proffered stool.
"The two to three years I ntioned is for all sections of the city wall to reach the height specified in the design blueprints."
Shan Qiu brushed the dust from his shoulders, concerned these particles might affect the Shaman, and continued, "This way, our Fla Dragon Tribe’s territory will be equivalent to the area enclosed within the city walls."
He was trendously excited about this. No one would be unwilling to see their own Tribe expand to such magnitude.
Particularly when the Tribe grew to such proportions, the re thought was profoundly invigorating.
"Two to three years? In that case, it’s actually quite reasonable." Su Bai nodded thoughtfully.
"Shaman, two to three years is a long ti. This is still considered reasonable?" Yan Hua widened her red eyes.
"If that’s the case, we’ll still need to deal with Ferocious Beasts driven mad by the eternal night for two to three years. I hope we can successfully endure it." Sha Lan said aningfully.
Sha Lan still vividly rembered the last Ferocious Beast invasion. The maddened beasts had been extraordinarily difficult to handle.
"This tiline truly isn’t long at all. Shan Qiu should understand this." Su Bai said calmly.
Because back on Earth, the construction of the Forbidden City had taken approximately the sa amount of ti, roughly three years as well.
However, the most crucial aspect was the extensive preparatory work that preceded it, since the design blueprints for the Forbidden City alone had consud eleven years.
In fact, calculated more precisely, the Forbidden City’s construction had taken a total of fourteen years.
This clearly demonstrated that when undertaking a major construction project, the design blueprints were of paramount importance.
Su Bai naturally understood this principle, which was why the city wall’s design blueprints had taken several days to complete.
The city wall blueprints here couldn’t possibly compare with the Forbidden City’s blueprints.
One was rely constructing a wall, while the other had created a structure that remained profoundly awe-inspiring even after all this ti.
"Correct, the Shaman speaks truly. This tiline genuinely isn’t long at all, especially considering we already possess such great conditions." Shan Qiu’s expression grew serious as he continued, "If another Tribe attempted this, it would require several decades at the minimum. No, it would likely require several centuries."
He clearly understood that other Tribes could never possibly achieve what the Fla Dragon Tribe had accomplished.
Grass ash cent alone would require other Tribes several decades to develop. Several decades was actually a conservative estimate. Shan Qiu knew how to manufacture grass ash cent.
But precisely because he knew, he understood that other Tribes would never be able to devise it.
Therefore, creating such a substance was extraordinarily difficult, because they wouldn’t even know where to begin.
Even if the most intelligent individuals attempted to figure it out, they would never discover the manufacturing thod for grass ash cent.
This was why he could state with absolute certainty that other Tribes could never devise it, and would require several centuries.
"It would actually require that long? That’s truly incredible." Yu Ying listened in stunned amazent.
"You don’t need to worry. The most important aspect is ensuring the city wall’s construction quality ets the standards." Su Bai instructed. He absolutely didn’t want to sacrifice quality in pursuit of speed, ultimately resulting in poorly constructed walls.
Shoddy construction projects absolutely could not appear in the Primitive Tribes, especially since the city walls needed to withstand those Ferocious Beasts. Any gap would an deaths.
"I understand. Every day I ensure people are paying attention. I definitely won’t allow the workers to construct the city wall carelessly." Shan Qiu imdiately responded.
Construction quality was his primary concern. Even before building the city walls, when he had been crafting stone implents, he had been extraordinarily ticulous.
"Each day, ensure people asure the wall’s vertical alignnt properly. Don’t let it be built crooked and twisted." Su Bai continued his instructions.
"Rest assured, Shaman. For every section of the city wall we construct, we use suspended ropes to verify the wall’s vertical alignnt." Shan Qiu continued.
"Good. I trust you to handle this." Su Bai said with satisfaction.
