Chapter 231 230. Good job for graduation, but bad job [asking for monthly vote 510]

"Why is desertification so serious on the ground?"

Old Chentou was led by two students to the ruins of the inner city above the Blood Eagle Corridor. He saw the poor soil condition on the ground at a glance. He bent down and grabbed a handful of soil on the ground and squeezed it in his hands.

The large lumps of soil immediately dispersed when exposed to external force, without any stickiness at all.

Moreover, the color of the soil was a strange gray-white color, which made Professor Chen frown.

"It is impossible to construct directly in this situation, even if the foundation is reinforced. Have you measured it? How thick is this soil?"

"At least one and a half meters down, mentor."

The gray man pushed up his decorative glasses and said to Old Chen:

"I asked someone about it. It is said that the erosion of spiritual energy from the star realm outside this world has caused the vitality of this land to drain rapidly. The entire city on the surface has been dragged into that alien plane, leaving behind The land was eroded by dirty energy and became like this.

I think what the locals call the loss of ‘land vitality’ probably refers to this loss of fertility and a situation similar to desertification.

And you see! "

He pointed to the sky. There was a 12-hour time difference between the game and reality, so it was almost dawn when Old Chentou entered the game.

When he raised his head, he could see the strange astral creation emitting purple light in the sky above his head. It was like a crack in the sky that was incompatible with the surrounding starry sky.

"The dirty spiritual energy from the star realm is still pouring in here. Mrs. Tracey said that this situation will last for at least ten years. Under its shroud, the inner city cannot return to its original soil quality. To be honest, the outer city is a little better. .

The stone slabs used to pave the road there previously blocked some energy intrusion, and there were underground waterways, which alleviated the spread of desertification to a certain extent. "

"That does not work."

Old Chen Tou scattered the sand in his hands, clapped his hands and said:

"We have to think of a way. If we have to start construction on such land, we must first dispose of the mobile sand without any viscosity. Over there, we can directly strengthen the underground structure on a large scale and then pour special cement. Make a construction bench.

Not so here.

Isn't there magic in this world? Do they have similar technology? "

"We have also asked about this. Sister Marianne, who is well-informed among the witch hunters, said that the earth priests of the silver dwarves are very good at dealing with this kind of thing. They can use the magic of the Mother of the Earth here to restore the vitality of the land. ”

The brick mover replied:

"But the embarrassing thing is that the Silver Dwarves are an ally of the Plantagenet Kingdom, and the Plantagenet Kingdom has just defeated the Portia Confederation where we are. Now that the war is over, the two sides are still hostile.

However, Sister Marian also said that the Church of Avalon can plant some special trees on such land. They can grow rapidly under the catalysis of natural spiritual energy. After their roots are intertwined to a certain extent, they can also grow Restoring the land to a point strong enough to support large buildings.

She said if she starts now, if all goes well, similar results can be achieved in just over three months.

But the problem is that this is a city of vampires, and it always feels weird to plant so many trees. "

The brick mover said awkwardly:

"This is the second plan of the Gray Man and I. It has not yet been reported to Archon Miriam and Lord Murphy. This is not to invite you to come and see if there are other solutions."

"Can I plant trees?"

Old Chen hesitated for a moment and asked:

"And it only takes three months? So, those 'witch hunters' actually have a way to make plants grow, right?"

"Well, they're experts at it."

The Asher explained:

"Although there are no druids in the old religion who are better at this, they all use natural spiritual energy to promote plant growth."

"Then let's plant grass."

Professor Chen narrowed his eyes and said:

"Didn't you go to the northwest for inspection last year? Refer to the sand fixation technology there, look for similar plants locally, and use square planting and irrigation methods. These sandy soils are still within the manageable range.

Of course, trees must be planted too!

The entanglement of the roots of trees is much stronger than that of grass. The combination of the two may have a better effect, and by the way, it can be used as a preliminary greening of this ruins. Three months is enough for the two of you to adjust the city plan. , and then slowly advance.

However, a solution must be found for that big rift. "

Pointing to the vast chasm between the inner and outer cities, he said:

"Build at least three bridges, otherwise just transporting materials would be a big trouble. If we don't plan to fill it in later, we can introduce local water sources and make it into an artificial river. It can cross the main structure of the city and introduce some shipping to the city. Industry and exotic customs.

Now tell me, how do you plan to plan the functional areas of this city? "

The grayer and the brick mover looked at each other and took out the pictures they just took out, and said to the instructor:

"The area of ​​the outer city is small and the land is much less affected, so we plan to build a temporary gathering point in the outer city first and build the residential area. The remaining area will be divided into seven streets along two central axes. Make it boxy to improve land utilization.

With the current population of Scarlet Castle, the outer city will be enough to be used for a long time after it is built. After the inner city is rebuilt, the outer city will be used as a large trade area.

This great rift valley can just serve as a partition between the inner and outer cities, separating the trade and residence, administration and church areas.

Although Lord Murphy did not specify it, we think that we should still build a new "Midnight Tower" in the center of the inner city in the later stage of the city construction as a landmark building of Scarlet Castle.

Both the inner and outer city areas have relatively complete sewer systems that can be used directly, but before they directly discharged domestic sewage into the Cadman River. Of course, this cannot be done now, so a sewage treatment and filtration site must be built outside the city, and a few water storage sites must be built by the way.

In the ghoul disaster incident that just ended a few days ago, the villains tried to use the city's groundwater system to poison! So Lord Murphy made special instructions to separate groundwater from daily water sources.

Archon Miriam meant that the northern Lim Barony will be the core settlement of the Cadman Earldom in the future. She hopes that we can make a water conservancy plan by the way to facilitate the irrigation of five collective farms.

But this really touches on our knowledge blind spots. "So, your job is not just to build a city, but also to make a construction plan for the entire earldom? This is equivalent to making an overall plan for a prefecture-level city. No wonder you are so eager to pull an old man like me into the game." Old Chen grinned and said: "This job is really not something you two cucumbers can do." The two guys grinned. It is obviously because the experienced mentor has already boarded the pirate ship. Oh, now there is someone to take the blame, which makes the pressure of these two unconfident guys suddenly reduced by half. "We have roughly converted it, mentor, the area of ​​the entire Transia region is equivalent to the superposition of one and a half central provinces, but this place is really famous for its vast land and sparse population. The population of such a large area did not exceed 2 million in its heyday. Now after ten years of war, the population here has dropped sharply to less than 300,000. So it is not difficult to make a plan. With a master like you, it will be done in a few months. ”

The brick mover flattered him:

"Come with us to register with the governor now, and you will be the chief architect of Transia. You have never taken such a big job in reality, how exciting it is. Moreover, NPCs basically do not interfere with our planning, and the degree of freedom in this regard is extremely high!

Even if you want to replicate a pyramid in Transia, it's up to you, as long as the reason is appropriate. ”

"Bullshit!"

Old Chen taught:

"Where can there be so many manpower to replicate the pyramid for you? With so few people now, it's difficult to even build this city, and this job is not as easy as you think.

Before I start mapping, I have to walk around the entire Transia to see the topography and landforms here, and I also need some local customs and things. You two should follow me to walk around. ”

"This is a mess. ”

The Grayman shook his head and said:

“Other players are still exterminating the gnolls. If you want to go out, the NPC will not let you go. It takes three days to revive after dying once, which is too time-consuming. Why don’t you go to the collective farm first?

The three of us, the master and the apprentice, will first deal with this mess to show the NPCs the ability of our "Stonemason Brotherhood", and then talk about the whole Transia.

I think this is the main task for us administrative players.

The combat professions have to pacify the threats on this land, the manufacturing players have to make it prosperous, and we administrative players are responsible for construction. This game actually explains the gameplay of the major professional factions from the beginning. ”

“I don’t quite understand what you said, but it is obviously a good thing for everyone to do their job.”

Old Chen nodded and said:

“It seems that the NPCs in this game are really smart. ”

“They are not as simple as intelligence. Teacher, please take a look at this first. "

The plasterer grinned and took out a few plans to show Professor Chen, who took them in his hand, glanced at them, frowned, and said:

"What is this drawing? Is it a child's graffiti? If this house design can withstand a rain without collapsing, I will write my name upside down. "

"Hehe, this is drawn by my 'apprentice.' "

The plasterer scratched his head and said proudly, but was glared at by Old Chen, who said:

"Don't you know what level you are? You are still teaching apprentices, misleading the students!"

"It's a professional task, teacher."

The brick mover sighed and said:

"We have to take apprentices. The plasterer took five and I took six. They are all smart boys and girls carefully selected by Ms. Miriam in the camp. They have to pass the 'primary architect assessment' within three months.

Not just us.

All administrative and manufacturing players have to take apprentices.

This is part of the professional gameplay. This damn game always makes these details very real. Those guys are easy to learn, but all kinds of problems are a headache.

I feel that it is similar to the apprentices in the old society. Anyway, Archon Miriam’s original words are that if their learning progress is not ideal or they do not obey our orders, we can even punish them or even send them to prison. "

"Ah?"

The old professor widened his eyes and exclaimed:

"Is the game so crazy now? This does not comply with the legal provisions in this regard, right?"

"Otherwise, how can you say that this game is real."

The gray man sighed and said:

“You’ll know after playing for a long time. Anyway, there are always rumors on the forum that the underlying logic of this game is designed to completely imitate the operation mode of the real world in the Middle Ages.

The development team has also been emphasizing that their purpose is to create a 100% real virtual world. Some people speculate that this may be a big project of Guo Zitou, with the purpose of developing the legendary 'Second Life' to alleviate the real world. various social conflicts and so on,

Anyway, it sounds like they have noses and eyes. "

"100% true? Can't do it?"

Old Chen hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice:

"Have you two tried making cement here?"

"ah?"

The two graduate students looked at each other, not quite understanding what the teacher meant. Professor Chen reminded him as he walked forward:

"Don't underestimate cement. Although its production process is not difficult, the various materials and preparation processes involved all follow the laws of physics. I believe that current technology can imitate relatively realistic virtual reality. But if they want to create a 100% realistic environment, they have to work hard on these invisible foundations.

A completely real world cannot be based on illusory world rules.

In other words, if you can make cement in this game, it proves that the development team is not kidding.

They are really serious about simulating the basic logic of how the real world operates, and have even simulated the physical and chemical laws of the substances that make up the world that can be seen everywhere.

To put it more mysteriously, it means that it goes from 'looking like' to 'really subtle'.

To be honest, I don't really believe they can do this. It's just that this kind of simulation of the real world requires too much manpower and material resources, but it doesn't stop you two from giving it a try when you have free time.

Also, I just had an idea. "

Old Chentou stood beside a weathered ruin in the inner city, picked up a cracked wooden board on the ground, looked at the vague patterns on it, and said:

"You two are almost two years away from graduation, so let's take the urban planning of Transia as your graduation topic.

What you two just said is right, old man, I can't mobilize so much manpower and material resources for you two to practice in reality, but in this very real game you already have all the conditions that an architectural designer dreams of.

Complete it as perfectly as possible!

For such a large project, your experience in details such as design, project management, personnel mobilization, material distribution, etc. are all valuable assets for you.

If you do a good job, I will not block your graduation and then write you a job introduction letter. "

He turned back to the gray duster and the brick mover and said with a smile:

"Even though I'm just an ordinary teacher now, I still have some connections in several design institutes, so for your future, work hard."

"Ah this."

The two guys felt as if they had been struck by lightning. They would regret very much that they had dragged Old Chentou into the game and allowed him to see the vast world of Transia.

How can this be done?

Originally, I could graduate by writing a thesis and doing a few designs, but how come it suddenly escalated to such a hellish level of difficulty?

"Ah, um, teacher, can we shake people?"

The grayer scratched his head and said:

"It's just the brothers and sisters who graduated before us. We just can't handle this job."

"Huh? What a beautiful thought!"

Lao Chen, who was wearing novice boxer briefs, put his head on his hips and said:

"Don't you have your own apprentices? Don't you like to teach others? Just figure it out on your own. If you dare to sway others, don't even think about graduating. Don't find it difficult. As you just said, Transia is full of waste now. The happy look is like a white canvas, allowing you to splash ink on it.

So, be bold and don’t be afraid of making mistakes.

I'm here, and I'll warn you two before you cause a big mess. "

"Yeah, don't be afraid of making mistakes, just do it boldly!"

In the night sky above the three people, the blood-eating vulture Reifno flew silently.

With the help of its eyes and perception, Murphy heard the conversation between the three masters and apprentices. Sitting in the corridor office, he smiled like a fox who stole a chicken. He said in a long voice:

"I, a local lord, are not afraid of you, but you are afraid of nothing! Let your knowledge and creativity shine on this land that is in need of development. Everyone will thank you, my warriors!"
