_3 “Without even concrete, what do you plan to use to lay the foundation?
And what would you use for load-bearing pillars?
Don’t tell you plan to use wood?
That would be better off borrowing from North Arican log cabins, at least those have so practicality.”
“Indeed, they lack both concrete and cranes.”
Dust Beater squinted as he spoke:
“But they have magic.
I heard from Sir Morphy that their mages can reshape the stones which are structurally and safely not inferior to concrete.
I am now considering if this thing can be used on a large scale, we might be able to recreate a functional building in the ga.
Sothing similar to an apartnt tower.
And even introduce centralized heating…”
“You’re insane!
You’re lost in your delusions.”
His roommate took off his glasses and shook his head as he spoke:
“I know the ga has all sorts of strange steam technologies, and the halflings in that ga seem pretty good at stoking furnaces too, but they don’t have radiators.
Don’t underestimate the casting process.
If it’s to be completed by hand, we won’t have enough before winter arrives to accommodate a few thousand people.”
“And you said you’re not interested in the ga?”
Dust Beater glanced at him and said:
“Aren’t you playing well in the forum?
Even knowing about steam technology.
Pfft, you pretending to be so serious.
Listen to , my plan is to use wooden boards to construct the main body of the floors and then using a concrete-casting filling process to let those psychics pour the reshaped stones into the reserved channels.
In this way, by the ti the psychic energy dissipates and the stones are reshaped, the main body of the building will be completed, and we can pre-bury the pipes in the channels.
So, all we need is a large boiler…”
“Damn!
You ant centralized heating after all!
I thought you were just bluffing.”
Now the roommate was interested too.
He pulled a chair over next to Dust Beater, and the two design system beasts spread the paper on the table and discussed this unique construction approach, even choosing the materials for the preset pipelines and started 3D modeling with so professional tools.
However, just when they were heatedly discussing, and even more impassioned, a deep voice suddenly sounded from nearby:
“What are you two doing?
Who drew this sketch?
Why is it so strange?
And most importantly, is the restroom in this strange building you designed shared?
Then why are the paraters of the planned sewerage system arranged according to independent restrooms?
Have you guys ever lived in a Khrushchev building?
No, have you ever seen one?”
“Huh?”
When Dust Beater turned around, he saw a sixty-sothing-year-old man with white hair, adjusting his glasses to examine the sketch he and his roommate had laid out on the table.
Under his arm, he carried a briefcase.
A style of an old-fashioned intellectual.
“Professor?
Weren’t you still in Germany?”
“Oh, isn’t there an epidemic going around?
Things in Europe seed a bit off, so the eting was canceled, and I ca back early.
Don’t look at , look at the drawing!
Tell , what’s up with this strange building?
Why does it say no use of concrete beside it?
If not with concrete what will you use?
With stones?”
“Ah well, Professor, this issue is complicated to explain.
To put it simply, we have accepted a commission from a ga company to construct city modeling in their ga and act as construction supervisors throughout the process.”
The roommate signaled Dust Beater with his eyes, then wrapped up the matter about playing gas.
The old professor was taken aback.
“Are ga companies so casual now?
With your skills, you can hardly even construct a pigsty…
Tsk tsk, it’s challenging.”
“Ahem, let’s not talk about this for now.”
Dust Beater quickly changed the topic.
He pulled out a roll of construction plans from under the cupboard, spread it out on the table, and said to his professor:
“This is the original sketch made by the ga company, based on a fantasy setting during the Middle Ages.
According to the story background, this city has existed for 400 years.
Professor, take a look at this sketch…”
“Hss…
This sketch is sowhat acceptable.
The main body is a European-style castle.
It seems to be the style from the German side, right?
Centered around the castle, it expands outward, a standard dieval city design.
But this sewer system is a problem.
How is it stacked?
And there are two clear empty areas not drawn on paper below, each within the outer and inner cities, and they’re quite large.
There could be an underground cavity or natural cavern, perhaps?
Is this the water source?
What’s the terrain on the outside?
Well, this is interesting.”
