Stars for the good Warhammer

"You mean, this is a hydroponic greenhouse designed by you?"

While speaking, Raya, who looked in disbelief, moved her legs and slowly walked to Otto's side. Her eyes were always fixed on the huge billboard, carefully examining every line and every piece of the drawing. The ruler size of the part.

Strictly speaking, the structure of the building in this drawing is not complex. The overall building is like an upright eggshell. The outside is covered with light-transmitting materials that can adjust the light intensity, and the inside is divided into five pieces from top to bottom. Large farmland area, which also has more detailed planning.

As for the number of personnel and monitoring servitors required on each floor, there are also regulations in the drawing. It can be said that the details are very detailed. Although compared with the professional cartographers working in the Ministry of Interior, this drawing is still lacking to a certain extent. , but this does not affect the practicality of the drawings.

"This is really amazing. How on earth did you complete such a masterpiece in such a short time?"

Although as an imperial noble, high-ranking children like Otto will receive a good education from an early age, except for those planets within the sphere of influence of the Mechanicus, most areas will not treat them with anything other than imperial etiquette and family history. courses as compulsory courses for future generations.

Out of extreme shock, Raya did not notice that her tone had begun to become a little incoherent. While stumbling, she lowered her head and returned her gaze to Otto, looking at the man beside her with some confusion. The profile of a young man.

As for Raya's question, Otto was already prepared. He took a bound book with a gear emblem from the table nearby. It was a technical book written by the Mechanicus Association of this galaxy. manual.

Due to the relatively good relationship between the former Governor and the Mechanicus, there is no shortage of things from the Gear Boys in the Governor's daily life and private collection. For example, the book in his hand is the book that Otto asked Controller Kalman to prepare for himself earlier. Brought here from the library.

"I have seen similar buildings in some introductions about the agricultural world of the empire. It is a large building built using water canals and watering equipment. It is the size of a small hive city and is filled with crops. "

"Just a few of these planting towers can ensure the basic food supply of one or even multiple imperial worlds. And most importantly, those buildings do not need to occupy too much land, and the plants indoors will not be affected at all. Effects of local planetary environment and temperature.”

"Have you ever been to Agricultural World for an inspection?"

Raya's tone sounded a little surprised. Faced with the inquiry, Otto just nodded calmly, then pretended to be nonchalant and opened the thick technical manual in his hand, pretending to read it very seriously. He didn't forget to continue talking.

"If we can build such a facility in Haiwen, then the food problem plaguing Haiwen will most likely be effectively solved, so I tried to draw something like this based on my memory and some cases in the manual."

"How's it going? Do you have any suggestions, Miss Raya?"

As the words fell, Otto, who closed the book again, once again cast his eyes on the woman. When the eyes of the two parties intersected, he could see a trace of wavering in the other's eyes, and the right hand hanging on the side of his thigh was looking straight. She clutched the hem of her skirt tightly, looking very tangled.

In order to make it easier for Raya to believe in himself, in fact, most of what Otto said was true, such as the speech about the agricultural world, which he had indeed conducted detailed research on.

It's just that it's not the kind of field trip that Raya thought, but an introduction to GW's setting of the Warhammer universe before time travel. As for the architectural drawings on the board, there are indeed places where he personally modified them.

After all, this building itself comes from the [High Efficiency Hydroponic Farm] technology in the Stars worldview. Its original architectural blueprint is filled with a lot of technologies related to AI intelligence. This is naturally a problem for the human empire that has experienced the Iron Man Rebellion. is not allowed.

Due to the fear of AI, the Terran government would rather use parchment and handwriting to manage an empire spanning the galaxy with incredibly low efficiency, rather than spend any more effort on AI-related technologies.

Therefore, when he started writing, Otto deliberately avoided the AI-related technical modules in the original picture, and replaced them with pure human power and servitors, and finally "improved" it into what it looks like today. , strictly speaking, this can indeed be regarded as Otto’s personal work.

"I'm sorry, Lord Otto, I had doubts about you before."

Hearing Raya apologizing to himself, Otto put the book in his hand back on the table, and a dull sound interrupted the other party's speech.

"That's not what I want to hear. I'm asking for your suggestions on this drawing."

Looking at the serious expression on the other person's face, after lowering his head and thinking for a moment, Raya responded with a somewhat nervous tone.

"One thing I don't quite understand is that in your design, this greenhouse building requires the use of a large amount of shading materials. As far as I know, Haven does not have the ability to produce this material. How do you plan to complete it?"

"Besides, this building is huge enough. The middle nest and lower nest don't have such space, and the upper nest is full of private property. Where do you plan to place it?"

"It's very simple. I had already noticed it when I passed the palace in the evening. The shading panels used to build the garden greenhouse are very good materials. I plan to remove them all, and the location of the central garden is also very suitable. "It's just the right place to put the greenhouse tower where we can conduct small-scale experiments."

"You're going to put it in your own palace!?"

Otto's remarks really made Raya feel numb. Before this, she had never heard of any governor who built a large vegetable garden in his palace.

"But will the steward agree? That garden is his favorite work, and it was also a place used by the former governor to entertain distinguished guests."

In any case, in Raya's opinion, such a decision is a bit too strange.

"The purpose of a garden is to grow plants, and crops are also plants. I want to plant another plant in my own garden. Is there any problem with that?"

"But there is still an issue that needs to be decided urgently."

Seeing the slightly distressed look on Otto's face, Raya held her breath again.

"What kind of plants should we plant inside? It is best to have varieties that produce large yields, are easy to survive, and have a short maturity period."

However, his question had only just been asked.

"ah"

As if she suddenly remembered something, Raya, who was originally silent, suddenly clapped her hands.

“In my hometown, there is a kind of bean crop with a pungent taste. Before it is fully mature, its fruits are highly poisonous and can cause severe diarrhea. But once mature, both the roots and leaves can be eaten, and even Can be used to extract vegetable oil.”

Listening to the other party's eloquent introduction, it was obvious that he had great affection for this plant, but Raya's description made Otto feel a little confused.

"With so many benefits, why hasn't this crop been promoted across the empire?"

Regarding this question, Raya's expression became very embarrassed for a moment.

"this"

"It is said that the tithe tax commissioner who came to investigate accidentally ate immature beans and then made a fool of himself in front of a large number of officials. That's why"

Oh, just listening to it, you can imagine how exciting that scene is.

“So where can I find a sample of this plant?”

"I actually have two pots in my bedroom, and I usually bring these beans as a snack."

Raya's voice was slightly lowered, and then as if she thought of something, the young woman didn't forget to add something.

"But I only taste it occasionally, definitely not because of gluttony."

However, Otto obviously didn't think that much. At this time, he just wanted to see the magical plant that the other party mentioned.

Then I saw him saying with a slightly excited expression.

"Very good, then bring it over quickly."
