Chapter 117 What to do about water pressure?
After explaining some more details to Henry, Richard returned to his post.
Drainage ditches and sewage pipes are relatively easy to install; it's the hot and cold water pipes that require further resolution.
--Water pressure.
Placing the source pipe in the Zhouxue River and expecting the water to flow continuously into the city is unrealistic.
Fortunately, the system has a Windmill in the Functional Buildings section. With a little modification, it can be transformed into a giant waterwheel.
At that time, we will build a row of three- to four-story stone houses along the river. The top floor will have its doors and windows sealed off, and then we will connect and open it up to serve as a water tank.
More than a dozen water trucks worked around the clock, pumping water into large water tanks, and then transporting it to the city through the difference in elevation.
If the water pressure is still insufficient, then water tanks can be built directly on the snow-capped mountains, and serfs can pump water to the top of the mountain and then transport it down by manually turning the mill conveyor belt. This would solve the problem in the same way.
The hundreds of meters of elevation difference in the snow-capped mountains ensure that residents in the inner city can be sprayed with water as soon as they turn on the tap.
However, it won't work in winter, so we'll have to wait and see.
As for the sewage pipes.
Once the inner city is built, a huge septic tank will be dug outside the city. Then the sanitation team can collect the sewage directly from the tank and haul it away for burial.
The septic tank must be equipped with anti-seepage facilities to prevent sewage from seeping into the ground and polluting the Zhouxue River.
He had actually considered whether to dig a branch canal into the city, but then thought better of it.
He's not a professional engineer, after all; there are likely many potential problems he wouldn't understand about river diversion.
and.
If a river divides the city in two, the difficulty and distribution of laying the four pipelines will increase accordingly.
A moat isn't necessary either. If Chiffon is so lowly that it needs a river for protection, then it's better to quit playing and go back to its hometown to raise pigs.
The most important thing right now is to get the inner city sorted out as soon as possible, and then bring all the members of the Chiffon Legion over. That way, Chiffon will be able to establish a firm foothold.
The thought of the windmill mill comes to mind.
Richard couldn't wait to take stock of how much material he had gathered during his absence.
...
The first level of the mine.
Many torches were stuck on the rock wall. Fortunately, they were all covered in tree sap and didn't produce much smoke, but they made the entire underground space very stuffy.
Irving seemed to have simply modified a corner of the first floor, building a row of open-top warehouses out of wooden planks to store materials, with two militiamen standing guard at the entrance.
Owen and a young craftsman were near the mine entrance, guarding ten furnaces that were smelting metal ingots.
The finished metal ingots will be immediately sent to the warehouse for safekeeping.
Good day, my lord.
Upon seeing Richard approach, Owen quickly stepped forward to greet him.
Richard nodded.
"It must be boring staying here all day, right?"
"Bear with it for now. I'll be renovating this place soon and replacing the torches with magic lamps. That way it won't be so stuffy."
The mine's output is too important; Richard is still not comfortable moving the artisan department to the surface until all the obstacles are cleared.
Once the northern urban area is completed, an industrial zone will be set aside in the outer urban area to specifically house artisans, as well as the processing and packaging of other agricultural and sideline products.
Irving is alright. As a beginner-level superhuman, he has a certain resistance to changes in ambient temperature and doesn't easily catch a cold or sweat.
However, the new staff members who joined the craftsmen's department were not like that; their faces turned red and they were covered in sweat.
Irving laughed:
"Thank you for your understanding, sir. Otherwise, we would have to let them leave the mine every now and then to catch their breath."
Done.
He began to report on the output of this period.
More than three thousand portions of copper ingots.
More than 500 iron ingots.
More than thirty silver ingots.
Fifty-seven pieces of quartz.
There are sixty-eight pieces of earth crystal.
More than three thousand portions of tree sap.
More than one hundred portions of slime.
Four bottles of maple syrup.
One bottle of pine tar.
These are all materials and items with game attributes.
The ore was mined entirely by hand, including more than 1,000 portions of amethyst, more than 300 portions of citrine, and more than 300 portions of jade.
Besides.
In addition, there are 41 kinds of precious minerals, including ruby, tiger's eye, cat's eye, tremolite, dolomite, malachite, ocean stone, obsidian, lapis lazuli, and diamond.
The quantity of each of these ores is only one or a few portions.
Because they are by-products that occur with a very small chance when mining ordinary boulders after going down to the tenth level of the mine.
Unlike amethyst, jade, and quartz, it does not exist in huge primary deposits.
The difference between the two lies in the fact that precious ores are high-level magical materials, while crystals and quartz are only low-level magical materials.
In reality, magical equipment and props require high-level magical materials to be made. The white fox fur robe that his older brother gave him was made by adding calcite.
The same applies to games.
[Equipment Craftsman] To craft magical equipment, you also need to use precious ores such as rubies, diamonds, and cat's eye.
Since it is obtained by mining ordinary rocks using game mechanics, it also possesses game attributes and can be used directly regardless of whether it is created in reality or in the game.
...
After reporting the figures, Irving carefully took out a fist-sized piece of ore from his pocket and handed it to Richard.
The ore is bright orange with a fine, oily sheen on its surface, and a golden stripe runs across it.
As the movement changed, the stripes seemed to flow like a living thing, as if holding a handful of flowing sunlight.
Tiger's Eye.
Richard looked at its smooth surface and was very satisfied.
Due to the low magic environment, many rare ores have mutated and now contain magic power.
Of course, in reality, not all ore from an entire vein is like this; it's similar to crops, with only a very small chance of it happening.
A high-quality, precious gemstone can sell for anywhere from one to several dozen gold coins, depending on demand and the magical recipe.
The system produces minerals that are byproducts of ordinary rocks, all of which are mutated and contain extremely rich, pure, and original magic power.
This should be related to Mining Lv.10.
The fourth secondary skill enhancement effect is that the purity of all gems will reach flawless quality.
...
Richard handed the tiger's eye stone back to Irving.
"Could you break it down and polish it, preferably into individual beads, so we can string them together into a bracelet?"
Irving took it.
He frowned and looked her over.
Finally, he nodded emphatically.
"It should be fine, but I'll need a few days."
Richard nodded.
These precious minerals are priceless; Lucy would definitely love them if they were made into jewelry as a gift.
When the time comes, find a magic craftsman to enchant it with arcane magic, and it will become a magical piece of equipment that is both beautiful and practical.
Unlike his magic fox fur coat, which would look weird to wear in the summer. Who would wear a thick fur coat in the hot weather? Are they crazy?
Even the most flamboyant person has their limits.
Although the [Equipment Crafter] can craft magical equipment in the game, many of these items have a particularly monotonous design and style.
If Richard has the opportunity in the future, he would like to hire a professional jeweler to settle in Chiffon and use these precious minerals to create some exquisite and beautiful jewelry.
That's how I'll look impressive; otherwise, how can I show off and highlight my noble status?
