My players are so fierce

Chapter 228 227. I wonder if the rapid construction technology based on psychic energy can be mixed with SCI? 【210】

(Please give me a monthly ticket! Ouch!)

The triggering of the plot branch of Jackal Hogg is just an inconspicuous part of the ongoing mass extermination of Jackals.

At least it hasn't made waves yet.

While combat players are busy swiping points in the point pool to exchange for rewards, and new players are busy upgrading and acquiring equipment, the game rhythm of administrative professional players has not been affected by the external war.

For example, the chief architect of Scarlet Castle, Tianxuan Huihui, and his roommate assistant Brickman, they went online early today and rushed to the urban construction site of Scarlet Castle.

Today is a very important day for the two of them. The first three-story "residential building" designed by the two of them will be built today.

If this can be accomplished, it means that Murphy's Scarlet Castle reconstruction work can truly advance to the implementation stage.

More importantly, the construction of this building today is probably the first implementation of the "new construction method" on this continent. The two "architects" themselves have no confidence in whether this can be achieved.

"I said, it feels weird to rely solely on drawings for construction without cement or measurement."

On a busy construction site outside the city, the brick mover held a stack of drawings and complained to the equally uneasy grayer next to him:

"And do you really believe that their 'fossils into mud' spell can proceed as we expected? Don't end up with a strange thing, that would be very embarrassing."

"I don't know. You ask me, I ask who. You can search the entire design institute and still can't find a senior brother or sister who can use psychic spells to build a house."

The Asher sighed for the seventeenth time.

He glanced at the drawings again, and finally shook his head and looked at the "model" in front of him that was being built by the camp workers.

What a model!

Only the first floor of the three-story design has been completed. The main body of the model is fixed with long wooden boards and wedges, just like a child playing with Lego. It is built from the foundation according to the design drawings they produced.

Four wooden boards are combined with reserved wedges and grooves to form "hollow columns" to support the structural strength of the entire first floor.

Because it was an experiment, the dustman and the bricklayer did not exactly follow the plan to build the ten rooms on the first floor.

They made a parallel connection of three houses, and it took the workers four full days to complete the entire model. Judging from the appearance, it is already a qualified boxy "wooden house".

Workers standing on ladders are "capping" it.

They put the hollow boards that had been assembled on the construction site on the square house according to the positions drawn in advance, and reserved interfaces to connect its internal space with the hollow pillars below, forming a wooden structure protected by wooden boards. "Hollow structure".

In order to ensure the structural strength of the house, the graywashers and bricklayers made these "wooden molds" quite thick, basically equivalent to the thickness of standard concrete walls and floors.

This makes the wooden "model" in front of you look quite large.

"Hey, this 'building block toy' is really good."

The three old buddies who first tried their administrative careers: Iai the dump truck, the forklift man, and the all-insurance semi-trailer strolled to the construction site.

They commented on the "house mold" being built in front of them, and the dump truck even asked very humbly:

"So, are you planning to use a method similar to 'pouring' to build a house? I heard you say before that you first make a mold of a house, and then let the psionicist use the fossil-to-mud spell to reshape it. The shape of the stone allows the stone slurry to flow into the mold and finally fix it into shape, and then the outer mold can be removed to form a standard room?"

"Yes, that's the principle. It's similar to the mainstream method used on our construction site, except there is no steel reinforcement here."

The brick mover sighed and said:

"Although I have asked Mrs. Tracey and received a positive answer, to be honest, we brothers have no idea whether it will work. Although in theory, as long as the psionicist can ensure that the stone slurry flows evenly in the house mold and can be molded quickly. The shape will definitely be fine.”

"Sounds convenient."

The forklift man struck out and rubbed his chin and said:

"If this is possible, wouldn't you be able to 'copy' similar houses using a set of mold templates? Theoretically, as long as there are enough stones and the psychic master can hold on, it can be completed within a month Construction of residential areas?"

"It's not that fast!"

Asher complained:

"Designing and making molds also takes time, and the workers are not skilled in assembling them. Most importantly, no one knows whether the structural strength of this thing can support a three-story building. If it collapses, wouldn't it be the end?

This is just the beginning, there are still many testing processes to be done later.

And even if it really works, this modular construction method can only be used for basic buildings, which can only be made into boxy or geometric structures. What specific functions or architectural details do you want to fill in the floors? Flower work requires subsequent processing.

That's a lot of wasted time.

We are recruiting masons, but this profession is considered a 'high-tech talent' in Transia, and it is difficult to find suitable ones. We can only start training by selecting those with dexterity and dexterity from ordinary workers. "

"You're thinking long-term."

The dump truck guy curled his lips and said:

"Take a look at the tents in the camp first. Thank God that the survivors can live in sheltered houses. Who will be picky about making statues with patterns? That will only be considered when we become developed in the future. thing."

"Hey! You also reserved water pipes in the house mold? What is the big channel that runs through the floor for?"

The Quanxuan semi-trailer walked around the construction site. He quickly discovered the uniqueness of the house mold designed by the dustman, so he ran over and asked:

"I see that the workers stuffed three wooden piles into the hollow mold, so that after the mortar is poured, there will be no gaps that penetrate the floor. Wouldn't this weaken the solidity?"

"It will weaken, but it will not cause structural problems. We have repeatedly calculated it using 3D modeling."

The Asher explained:

"Those reserved holes will become 'floor heating' in the future. We have designed supporting steam and hot water pipes for these residential buildings. When winter comes, an oversized boiler equipment will be used to continuously provide hot water flowing through these holes. You can achieve 24-hour 'central heating'.

Of course, this kind of local heating method cannot adjust the temperature, and the heat transfer efficiency of the stone is very poor. It is estimated that it is better than nothing, and it can barely guarantee that the temperature in the house will not fall below a certain freezing point.

It can even cause moisture as a side effect, and it needs to be reinforced with psychic spells every year to prevent water seepage.

But if this function can really be realized, then I can proudly assure Mr. Murphy that his people will not freeze to death this winter. "

"Fuck! Awesome!"

When the other three brothers heard the dustman's explanation and introduction, they immediately gave a thumbs up and shouted 666. However, after shouting, the oldest dump truck Iai blinked and said to the dustman and the brick mover:

"Haven't you young people heard of something called a 'Kang'? Building a small heated kang in each house is nothing more than adding a chimney, coupled with your local central heating, don't talk about it this winter. It’s freezing to death, I guess the survivors don’t need to wear cotton-padded clothes in the house.”

"6!"

The brick mover's eyes lit up, he grabbed the design drawing, opened it, and said:

"I'll add it right now, this old man is well-informed."

"That is."

The three brothers laughed and started bragging and chatting again. Half an hour later, the workers' "capping out" was completed, and a square wooden house mold stood in front of everyone.

Mrs. Tracey and Lord Murphy were also invited.

A group of workers were immediately frightened when they saw the lord coming. They gathered next to the construction site and whispered.

Although the chosen gray man is popular in the camp, and they all know that this young man is a very knowledgeable person, after all, this method of building a house is the first time they have seen it, and everyone hopes to see how busy they are these days. Can I get a result?

"Well, this mold is well made, so delicate."

Tris, who was tightly wrapped and still a little sleepy, walked around the house mold, came back and whispered to Murphy:

"This is like the work of an old craftsman. It takes years of experience and accumulation of craftsmanship to design such an exquisite hollow mold. However, your warriors are so young. To be honest, I don't believe that they are all geniuses.

So this is what you told me before, the magical function of their world’s unique ‘super library’? "

"I didn't say that thing is called a 'Super Library', you just understood it that way."

On the surface, Murphy maintained a decent smile that an NPC should have, and answered using onomatopoeia skills:

“But it does have all the functions of a super library you can imagine, and as long as they are willing and have certain search skills, they can find everything they need in it.

There weren't that many geniuses in their world.

But by our standards, all of them are geniuses, with endless knowledge waiting for them to seize and use. The only thing that limits them from becoming masters in a certain field is self-discipline and the perseverance to persist in learning.

However, this is the hardest part, no matter where in the world it is. "

“It’s truly unimaginable miracles and great deeds.”

Tris sighed:

“It would be nice if we had something similar here.”

"You may have!"

Murphy reached out and patted Tris's wrist gently, and he said:

"The matrix composed of the computing orbs of the halflings has touched that field. As long as they continue to develop, similar things will be born here. Tris, you can join it if you are willing.

But now I need you to help my warriors build this house. Their hard work and efforts are all visible to us.

They urgently need some positive feedback, and we also urgently need a set of construction methods that can be quickly replicated in the territory to ensure that our territory will not lose one or two unlucky people when the heavy snow comes.

I don’t want to see my tragedy happen again to others. After all, not everyone can meet a kind-hearted vampire lady on a winter night. "

"But you can do this kind of thing, Murphy. You are also an official psionicist. Turning fossils into mud is not a difficult skill. Among the dwarves, it is even regarded as a trick."

Tris glanced at Murphy.

She shook her head and stepped forward, flipping her fingers to take the luxurious Serenade scepter in her hand, and gently moved it forward.

The stones that had been prepared in advance and piled around the mold were immediately "captured" by the shaking spiritual energy and lifted into the air. In the precise manipulation of the earth's spiritual energy, the solid rocks flew quickly in front of the little players. "melt".

Its material form was temporarily changed into fluid slurry, and under Cuisi's control, it was pushed by invisible hands from all sides and flowed into the holes reserved in the house mold.

It's like liquid flowing.

The stone slurry continues to move forward along the geometric "channels" created by the hollow wooden boards, filling every space.

This scene was like mercury pouring down the ground. Under the action of gravity, the fluid slurry made a pleasant rushing sound. It was like a delicate container being filled bit by bit, and it was built in the same way from the holes on the ground to further down. The foundation settled, and as Tris took the time to move away, it quickly changed from fluid to cold solid rock.

But their form has been permanently changed into another image under the constraints of the wood board mold.

The entire casting process lasted five minutes.

This is still the result of Tris, the psychic master, who is personally controlling it. If it were replaced by an ordinary psionic master or a psionic master apprentice, this process would be lengthened.

But to be honest, in the original imagination of the builder, the house would not be "one piece". He would complete the construction of the house according to strict standards according to the repeated process from foundation to pillars to capping.

Today's test is just to verify whether the "rapid construction" designed by myself and the brick builder can be effective. Of course, it is difficult to say that this is their original work. After all, the same cement pouring method is used when building high-rise buildings in real society.

It's just that it was replaced with a more mysterious psychic method here.

"Done!"

Tris stopped casting spells, and when the psychic vibrations gradually subsided, she pushed her hair, turned to the excited Gray Duster and Brick Man, and said:

"All the spaces in your molds have been filled with stone slurry and they have solidified. Go ahead and remove the outer mold and look at your work."

"Up! Take it down!"

The excited duster gave the order, and the workers who could no longer bear it immediately stepped forward to dismantle the outer wooden mold.

The three brothers also ran to help, but the internal mold had already been sealed into the formed house structure according to the design of the mortar when the stone slurry solidified. Now they only need to remove the external mold to see the real condition of the house. .

As he was taking it apart, Brother Shovel, who was always sober in the world, suddenly slapped his forehead and said:

"Alas! We don't need to remove the external wooden boards! After you remove them, you still have to paint and tile the walls. Why not just leave them as they are and treat them as using wooden boards to make a ' Protective layer', whether it's painting or secondary treatment, isn't it stronger than what you put on the stone?"

"Yes!"

The gray man looked excited.

When he heard what Brother Shovel said, he was immediately convinced and ordered the workers not to remove the boards. He grabbed a sledgehammer and walked to the wall in full view of everyone.

He glanced at the brick-carrying man, who nodded vigorously to him.

So the grayer took a deep breath, swung the sledgehammer and hit the wall in front of him.

This is testing the sturdiness of the molded house, with a full insurance semi-trailer next to it "dubbing" it:

"Eighty! Eighty! Eighty!"

"Damn it, how can I test it if you do this?"

The man who smashed the hammer three times in a row was laughed at. He put down the hammer and cursed.

But everyone was looking at the wall in front of them. Three hammers smashed the wooden boards, revealing the flat rock layer inside without any cracking or peeling.

This solidity is not much worse than concrete. After all, the solidity of the stone produced in Transia is not bad.

"You all get out of the way!"

Tris from behind said something.

She kept everyone at a distance and struck it with a heavy psychic blow. With a loud bang, a third of the newly built house was shattered by the raging psychic energy, as if it was hit by an aerial bomb. The hit was just as brutal.

"Ah this!"

The brick mover patted the flying dust in front of his eyes and said with great disappointment:

"It seems the sturdiness is not good enough."

"no?"

Tris smiled and explained:

"With the destructive power of this spell just now, ordinary houses will be directly razed, but more than half of your building is left, which has proven that it is stronger than the previous buildings in Cadman City.

Congratulations, warriors.

You have invented a very powerful 'quick construction technique'. "

"Ah, I should give you enough rewards. No matter what you want, I will satisfy you."

Murphy stepped forward and took Tris's hand. He said to the gray duster and brick mover in front of him:

"Your efforts have laid solid hope for the future of Scarlet Castle. From now on, our reconstruction will no longer just stay on paper. You will be very busy in the next two months. In addition to building residences for the survivors Outside the district, I also need you to build sturdy enough houses for my subjects in the five planned collective farms.

This will be a big project!

But I believe you can do a good job. "

"Ding"

The Grayman's calculation orb made a soft sound. He looked down and exclaimed:

"I passed the administrative trial, and I am now the official village leader! Why does this professional mission called 'The Rise of the Masonic Brotherhood' feel so weird? My surname is not Van Cleef, and it really requires me to design and build a new city. ?

Mom, this is really impossible! "
