Be A Lord Starting Today

[ps: The picture above shows an ancient western city wall. It can be easily seen that it is made of a large number of irregular stones. It takes a lot of time to build such a city wall. 】

"Building a city wall requires a lot of stones, and those huge amounts of stones of various shapes and shapes must be polished, and then piled up with Fen soil. This process is based on the manpower of Xieyue Town today. A city wall that is one mile long, eight meters high, and three meters thick will take at least four or five years!"

"It takes three months to build a small section at most, let alone three months to build all four walls!"

"It's impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Smith shook his head again and again, and kept denying in his mouth.

To build such a city wall within three months, unless more than tens of thousands of laborers are mobilized to work continuously day and night, it is possible to build a section or two sections of the city wall within three months. It is impossible to meet the conditions of Yuezhen!

"Is he crazy..."

Smith felt a little depressed, just decided to stay in Xieyue Town for two months, and then he found out that the boss who hired him was a lunatic.

"Engineer Smith, I'll show you something after which you're drawing conclusions."

A smile that Smith couldn't understand appeared on Don Juan's face.

Obviously very confident.

Smith had no choice but to follow Don Juan.

Walking all the way to the inside of the castle, Don Juan pointed to a wooden box placed inside the castle, and said to Smith, "Engineer Smith, look at this."

"What's this?"

Smith walked over suspiciously.

The box is a square, one meter long and wide.

"Pendragon, open the box."

Under Don Juan's order, Pendragon on the side stepped forward and removed the wooden planks placed on the box, and immediately, the contents inside the box were exposed.

It is a hard, smooth stone with a grayish tinge.

"My God, I've never seen such a stone!"

Smith stepped forward to touch the flat and smooth side as if possessed.

Feeling the hard and cold touch, Smith said to Don Juan.

"Ah! Are you trying to say that there are a large number of ready-made polished stones in Xieyue Town?!"

"If there is such a large amount of polished and ready-made stone materials, it is completely sufficient to build a section of the city wall within three months."

There was excitement in Smith's eyes, but at the same time, he also had doubts in his heart, that is, how did such a large, perfectly flat stone be polished? !

If a craftsman is directly used for manual polishing, it is entirely possible to completely polish such a large stone into such a smooth and smooth surface, and it will take a year or two.

"But my lord, don't think about building four sections of the city wall within three months, because that's impossible, and I don't recommend you to work hard to build such a section of the city wall, because it is impossible for a city wall to serve as a defense with only one side. .”

Smith persuaded: "If you have that skill, how about I help you expand the castle with these ready-made stones and improve the defense of the castle."

He still felt in his heart that even if there were such ready-made, polished stones, it would be impossible to build four sections of the city wall that completely covered the town within three months.

"I'm going to show you something next."

With a smile that Smith couldn't see through, Don Juan led Smith out of the castle and outside the town of Crescent Moon.

From a distance, Smith saw a not-so-small creation.

The whole is built of wood, like a tower, about ten meters high, and above the tower is a large boom made of wood.

There are many pulleys on this tower, and there are special ropes linking the pulleys and booms.

"What's this?!"

Smith looked at Don Juan suspiciously.

"This is the crane I built."

Don Juan said calmly.

"Crane? A crane this big?"

Smith's eyes widened in disbelief.

In his impression, cranes should be some small things that are only seven or eight meters high. When building things, they lift stones and look up to pile them up.

However, Smith has never seen such a large crane!

Moreover, the shape of this crane is different from the cranes known to Smith. The imperial crane has a mast on the top, and a pulley is installed on the top of the mast. thing.

And this crane.....

Smith clearly noticed the difference in the structure of the two. The crane in Crescent Town is larger, and the cantilever on the top is inclined, and the top of the arm is equipped with pulleys.

"This design..."

Smith's eyes widened, and he suddenly understood the purpose of this design.

"My God, whoever invented this design is truly a genius!"

Smith couldn't help himself from screaming loudly.

The cranes of the Empire can only lift small objects, and they can only go straight and cannot turn sideways.

But the design of the crane in Xieyue Town is an absolute genius. It can not only lift up and down, but also turn sideways. In this way, the mobility and efficiency will be greatly improved.

"My lord, who invented this design?! ​​I'm going to visit him, genius, absolutely genius design!"

"So simple to solve the problem of crane steering."

Smith couldn't wait to ask Don Juan.

As an Imperial engineer, Smith obviously respects technology very much.

"Ahem, it's actually me."

Don Juan said a little embarrassedly.

Tang Juan saw this design by accident on the Internet in his previous life, and wrote it down. Tang Juan was designing this thing when he first arrived in Xieyue Town.

Relying on a slightly vague impression, Don Juan just took a chance and asked people to build it.

What even Don Juan didn't expect was that it succeeded by accident.

Hearing Don Juan's words, Smith was dumbfounded.

Because he never expected that the one who designed the genius design in front of him was actually the young nobleman in front of him who he thought didn't understand construction design at all.

"If there is a crane like this, and the stones seen in the castle before, then building the city wall will become a simple matter, just pile up the stones."

"but....."

Smith frowned again. In his perception, a stone of that size, with extremely flat and smooth sides, would definitely take a huge amount of time to polish such a stone.

In this way, the time is still insufficient, and what is used to glue and pile the stones between the stones! ?
