After mixing red mud, coarse sand, and lime and pounding it, it is Sanhe soil.

Most of the buildings in the Qin and Han Dynasties were made of rammed earth, with a khaki-yellow appearance, which is the kind of loess high-slope style buildings that you see in TV dramas.It is not as strong as concrete, but it is enough to support large buildings. The combination of masonry and glutinous rice lime mortar was widely used in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. That is to say, this stuff is equivalent to a kind of cement, which can be directly molded into buildings.

After the red clay was discovered, the transportation of materials was still a big problem.

First of all, the red soil needs to be excavated. Under the dry river, not only the soil needs to be dug out, but also the tools to pry the stones are needed.

Secondly, a large amount of lime needs to be purchased from the Port of Toto. Due to the huge amount, transporting it with griffins will become an astronomical cost. Langdon, the accountant, directly denied the griffin transportation method after hearing the required quantity.

Even if the two materials were transported to the vicinity of the village with great difficulty, building the wall still required a lot of manpower, and the construction period had to be rushed, because the weather was rapidly entering winter, and Cecil reckoned that it would be at least November. No, once it's frozen, the project can't be done at all.

"One more question." Luther interrupted suddenly.

"What?" Cecil said casually. There were too many questions, and he was already calm.

"Are you sure this rammed earth will work? I mean, it's some kind of hybrid reaction, right? Hybrid reactions often fail outside the 'country'."

Cecil was taken aback, then remembered the soap that could no longer be mixed into soap slurry, and panicked.Does the lime give off heat?Is this a kind of thermal reaction?

Langdon stood up: "We can build another 'country', and use a fence to build a special rammed earth a little farther away from here. After mixing it, we can get it to the village."

Cecil was puzzled and said: "This is also okay?"

"Why not?" Langdon laughed. "We can try it first."

In spite of Cecil's doubts, the experiment was successful, moving the hardwood fence a kilometer away—one kilometer was the minimum distance after the soap-stirring experiment, and any closer would not work—and thus obtained a Small construction site.

Next is how to move the building materials here.

Griffins can't do it, manpower can't do it.

"Magic?" Cecil said.

"Yes, yes, but the price is too high." Oakes was no longer in the mood for joking, "Space magic is very expensive."

At this time, Russell suddenly interjected: "Ebo's first trade team is back."

Cecil didn't know, so: "Huh?"

Langdon showed a stunned look: "Yes, the Yak Trading Team."

Cecil understood: "Well..."

Cecil never thought that one day he would ride in that bumpy yak cart. The yaks in a peaceful state are quite kind. Once they started running wildly, he immediately understood why the priest would have such crazy cramps: instead of being forced to bump, It's better to take the initiative to dance disco.

It's like on a shaking object, it will be very difficult to resist the acceleration force desperately, but it will be much easier to oscillate in the direction of the acceleration force.

At first, Cecil tried to fix himself on the car with a blank face. After he failed, he simply stood up and jumped with the frequency of the car's bumps to reduce the impact on his body. This move was quite successful, but it took a while. Long knees are a bit unbearable.

Bills readily lent these cars, after Langdon said that he would pay ten silver coins for each.

Through Mrs. Krass and all the diners, Cecil knew that these trade vehicles are completely useless in winter and summer, and they will not even afford transportation within the city—because the trade team is sacred, and the sacred trade vehicles cannot be misappropriated elsewhere—— The real situation is that the width of the vehicle exceeds most of the roads in the city, making it difficult to travel.

Bills was very satisfied with the extra money. Obviously, his financial situation was further deteriorating. After Langdon comforted him, he offered to introduce the magic elite of the Kingdom of Magic to him. He immediately said that the car rental could be extended to a whole winter.

"This guy is looking for money." Cecil said disdainfully while maintaining his bounce, "I don't even think about how to deal with winter."

"He doesn't need to think about it." Langdon sat still as a mountain. "There is magic."

"Hey—what's so good about magic." Cecil immediately complained about a lot of nonsense about magic, then turned to look at Langdon, and said, "How can you sit so firmly?"

"Oh, I used magic."

"..."

The number of people mining the red soil was less than expected, because Cecil adopted Langdon's suggestion very spinelessly, and directly used magic to blow up the stones at the bottom of the river channel. Come out, and you can get the necessary pebbles.Coarse sand is also mined here, and he plans to add small gravel to the rammed earth to see what he gets.

Truckloads of laterite, small gravel, and coarse sand were transported to the "construction site", and the lime procurement project in Toto Port was a bit fraught.

The weapon shop in Port Toto said they didn't have so much stock, and the nearest lime quarry replied that it would take at least a month to prepare all the goods. If they didn't use Might and Magic to ship them over, they would have to float at sea for at least a month.

In a word, no matter what, it is too late.

"If you agree, I can go to the lime quarry myself..."

Before the half-blood devil finished speaking, he was interrupted by Langdon: "No."

Moyer: "..."

In the end, Langdon sent a request to the Temple, and the Temple replied: pick up the goods at Toto Port in eleven days.

Cecil asked curiously: "How did you do it?"

"Oh, let me take care of it." It was rare that Langdon didn't reply immediately, and he said after a while, "A king cavalry acted coquettishly on his king's lover, and that king issued an announcement, who can tell in the shortest time?" Whoever sends these limes to Toto Port within the time limit will get a title of Viscount."

Cecil was unable to comment on this "nepotism" for a while: "Isn't it too uneconomical to change a noble title for such a small thing?"

"The title of nobility in that country has long been emptied, and the rich and small nobles can pay for it." Langdon said indifferently, "The idea of ​​the king, the king who has always suffered from the nobles, is very satisfied with this proposal. .”

Cecil: "..."

Will you knights die if you don't do anything?

However, after this incident, Cecil had to re-recognize the energy of the Gay Knights. In this world where transportation is inconvenient and magic is rampant, the Gay Knights obviously have a unique global network, regardless of national boundaries and civilizations. It can be regarded as a wonderful flower.

The amount of lime was settled, and the next step was how to transport these things from Toto Port back to the construction site. In this matter, Dali played a pivotal role.When Cecil was at a loss, he thought of the High Court purchasing team. It took a lot of work to find this team. Fortunately, they had finished purchasing at that time and were preparing to go home.

"Of course, we can help you bring the lime back along the way, I'm happy." Through Dali's introduction, the leader of the trade team said, "However, we also need a corresponding fee."

Cecil was a little nervous: "How much?" Now the account is quite nervous.

Unexpectedly, the team leader made an unexpected request: "We want the technology of the kang."

Cecil was taken aback: "You guys know the kang? Don't you mind if this is a different civilization?"

"No, it won't." The team leader laughed. "It's a good thing, isn't it? What's more, the shaping magic can improve its quality. I believe it will be very popular in Highgarden."

There is no reason for Cecil not to agree. This is basically like a white wolf with empty gloves.

After leaving the hotel of the High Court procurement team, Cecil was still a little puzzled: "For example, if I invented a technology, but someone else used it, who is the god born?"

"If the scope is too wide and it is used all over the world, generally speaking, this god will gradually transform into a neutral god. If it does not reach the scope of the whole world, then which civilization has more users will prefer which one? ’” Langdon replied.

"How accurate is this number? Does one more person count as too many?" Cecil asked.

Langdon showed a helpless smile: "If you ask such a question, it is too easy for people to think that you have not had a magical accident, but have never survived in this world."

Cecil cleared his throat in embarrassment.

"Belief in this kind of thing is actually very subtle and difficult to quantify. Gods are also wise, and they will not help civilization A wipe out all the people of civilization B just because civilization A has more believers than civilization B. Isn’t that stupid? Why would he destroy his believers? The believers are the basis of his existence, and destroying the believers is undoubtedly suicide.” Langdon explained as always, “If there is a conflict between AB and AB, the people of the two parties will generally die. You will be wise not to summon the gods you believe in together, you don’t think that if the believers summon the gods, the gods will definitely come out?”

Cecil was very surprised: "No way?"

"It's amazing that you succeeded in praying to the gods twice. Usually, the gods are sacrificed alive and you don't care about yourself." Langdon looked at the eyes very movingly, of course, only in Cecil's eyes, If you let others see it, it is probably full of "what can this stupid boy do?" "I have to say, your civilization god is very kind and has a very good personality, which is very rare. Your civilization is probably at peace In the midst of development and development, you have a deep background and enough confidence to pay attention to your random behavior of praying to God."

Cecil: "..."

Male god, just explain it, why do you still have to scold me?

"Different gods have different personalities." Langdon smiled and patted Cecil's head. "Some gods of civilization are very vile, and even blackmail their followers. So, you are very lucky."

Yeah, I'm so lucky that I don't even have to use the toilet.

Cecil let out a hehe, and decided to be conservative in this aspect as much as possible in the future, so it is hard to guarantee that no one else will guess something.
