Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

Harvey summoned the Minister of Construction Haru and ordered seriously: "I plan to build a landmark building in Spark City after I officially ascend the throne to the forefront to show the appearance of the new royal capital."

"Landmark building?" Haru held the workbook, excited and confused, "Mr. Lord, is he going to build a commemorative statue for your succession ceremony? It's so great. This will be a rare opportunity for me in my life. The honor!”

Even in the southern territory where civilization is more prosperous, only the chief of the Royal Stonemasters' Union can be lucky enough to win this honor. Ordinary stonemasons like Haru who used to be able to knock on and repair stone houses are not at all. Dare to hope for it.

"No, I'm not so narcissistic yet." Harvey shook his head and explained patiently, "I don't plan to build a decorative landmark that has no practical value in the same situation as it requires a lot of manpower and financial resources."

In the past two years, the northern army and territorial people under Harvey have experienced several wars with the evil orcs, the southern nobles, the demons and the church. Although each ended with an overwhelming overall victory, the war could be fought. It is always going to die, and although the morale and loyalty of the army are still high, the casualties of soldiers are separated from the cold statistics, which is a lasting grief for every family that has lost their closest relatives.

If it is just to satisfy the ruler's own selfish desires, building a "miracle" is obviously a "missing the country" behavior - if it is simply to demonstrate national strength, Harvey feels that nearly 10,000 professional soldiers and magic weapons under his command are enough to deter The whole area is here.

"I plan to draw an area next to the People's Sports Field...that is, the junction between the administrative area and the market area, and then name it the military community."

Haru did not rush to interrupt Harvi, and he carefully recorded... Until he saw Harvi spread a piece of paper with a simple sketch on the desktop, he finally couldn't help but wonder: "Sir, this... The residential building is too high, right?”

He stretched out his rough finger and pointed a columnar building in the sketch standing directly in front of the residential building, "What...is this? It looks like an obelisk."

As the Minister of Territory Construction, after experiencing a series of incredible miracle projects such as building city walls, laying railways and crossing river bridges, Haru has obviously gained much more experience. Faced with the shocking ideas that Harvi has come up from time to time, he is more calm than others. .

Harvey was very satisfied with his reaction and patiently explained: "The residential building will be built to more than 16 floors, or even higher... If it is followed by the current building standards of the Ministry of Construction, its height will exceed 60 meters."

In other words, the height of the residential building will be twice as high as the existing city wall, which will directly break the record of the tallest building in the Academy of Magical Sciences.

Haru took a breath, "Sir, such a tall building...is probably comparable to Alaye's floating magic tower?"

Harvey laughed and said, "There is no similarity between the two. The Sky and Sky Domain is a legendary creation created by magic power, while our tall buildings are built by ordinary people with steel and cement, without any extraordinary power."

Haru's fingers trembled uncontrollably when he heard this - doesn't this mean that he will have the opportunity to participate in and lead the construction of a grand project that is comparable to legendary magic?

"This tall building...will be the residence you prepare for after ascending the throne in the future?"

Harvey shook his head again, then pointed to the obelisk standing directly in front of the tall building on the drawings, and continued warmly: "This is a monument about 12 meters high. After it is completed, I will order people to take all the money. The names of soldiers who died in battle for the Pioneer Leader and Xinghuo City were engraved one by one for the people of the city and later generations to remember and pay tribute to them all the time... and the tall buildings behind it would allow the families of the dead to move in to live in."

"Sixteenth floor is so high, will it really not collapse?" Haru remembered that a few years ago, the territory's city wall was just passed by a giant worm under the foundation, and it collapsed a whole section of several meters. I suddenly felt scared.

After pondering for a while, Harvey carefully analyzed: "In the past, our steel smelting technology was lacking, and we were not proficient in the use of cement and concrete. Believe me... the sixteenth floor is far from the height limit of the building."

You should know that in the ancient times when there was no steel and concrete at all, Harvey also witnessed the Potala Palace, which was more than 110 meters high, not to mention the Yingxian wooden tower with a pure wooden structure of nearly 70 meters in his hometown in his previous life. Now.

Although Harvey is not an expert in engineering construction, the principles of architectural mechanics and structural mechanics are obviously common in both worlds. As long as the foundation and support columns are stable enough, it is not a big deal to build a high-rise building with steel and concrete. Tan.

Anyway, the cement production in Xinghuo City has long been overproduction, and Harvey has no intention of exporting it in large quantities. It is just for building a landmark building, which will also make a pre-production for the large-scale construction of high-rise residential buildings in the future.

With the large number of foreign populations in Xinghuo City, the standard two-story buildings that were built in large numbers have obviously been unable to meet the needs. The Ministry of Construction has tried to propose to add floors in a recent batch of new residential applications. Suggestion - Obviously, these civil engineering experts are like Harvey, realizing that the floor area ratio of high-rise residential buildings is much higher than that of bungalows. Just build the original flat and double floors slightly upwards, and the number of residential buildings can be doubled immediately. , is a behavior that is stable and profitable.

Before Harvey could bring up the only difficulty in building the tallest building in Spark City, Haru excitedly suggested: "For the pouring of concrete, we can't use alchemy beasts to pull the lifting pulley device to transport it like we did when we built the city wall and the Academy of Sciences... But we can try to have the floating airship directly hoist it up, and then let the engineering alchemy beasts replace manpower to complete the high-altitude work!"

Harvey shook his head with a smile, thinking: "It's worthy of being a congenital ash-beating holy body."

Then the two of them discussed some detailed construction details. In response to Haru's question about the high floors being difficult to climb, Haru also reserved a channel interface on the outside of the building in advance, and built an "external elevator" driven by a magic power instrument to replace climbing the stairs. This immediately broadened Haru's horizons and once again admired Harvey's wisdom and ingenuity.

"Gather the people and work hard right away, but don't rush. The preparatory work must be thorough... If it is officially completed in time for the winter celebration next year, the first anniversary of my accession to the throne, then the mission will be successfully completed."

Harvey patted the Minister of Construction on the shoulder and encouraged him.
