Chapter 376 New Castle Facilities

"What is this?" Andrea asked while chewing on the dried fish.

His Royal Highness the Prince of Graycastle was tossing novelties again. He spliced ​​pieces of copper pipes together, then let Anna melt the joints, and Soraya wrapped them with a layer of soft magic creation. At first glance, it looks like the water pipes installed in the bathroom, but the volume is much larger, and each one is close to the thickness of your own thigh. If you don't rely on hummingbirds to lose weight, you can't lift it by yourself.

Moreover, the copper pipes are not only found in one or two rooms, but run through the entire castle and the witch's building horizontally. They all enter from a corner of the room, connect to a strange metal louver along the bottom of the wall, and pass through to the next room. , will be connected with the longitudinal pipeline after reaching the end.

This huge project attracted many witches to watch, whether it was Sleeping Island or the Witch Union, they all showed great curiosity about it.

"Guess all of you?" He smiled mysteriously, "If you guess right, I'll add an extra serving of ice cream bread to dinner."

Andrea suddenly became interested, ice cream bread! That is the most amazing delicacy in this place. Two pieces of bread that are baked on the outside and tender on the inside are topped with a layer of sweet ice cream filling, which has never been heard of in the Kingdom of Dawn. When she tasted it for the first time, she instantly fell in love with this kind of food. Even though she was ridiculed by Ashes repeatedly, she had to eat it with a blushing face, otherwise it would be a torment just looking at it on the plate.

"Is this for watering the room?" Ashes frowned.

It was still short-sighted remarks, and Andrea curled her lips in her heart. Copper is not a cheap metal. Since the small pipes in the bathroom can carry water, why do they have to be so big?

But since recently, if I refute, I will be blocked by her set of "who said that the food is the best in its original taste", and this was mentioned in front of Lady Tilly, so it is really inconvenient to cheat If you don't admit it, you have to pretend that you didn't hear the superficial words of the other party.

"Short knowledge, how can such a large pipe be needed to pass water," someone said behind him, "Your Highness would not do such a thankless thing."

Incisive! It was exactly the same as what she thought, and Andrea lifted her spirits. Apart from herself, the only one who dared to speak to the extraordinary witch in this tone was Miss Nightingale from the Witch Union. She turned her head, and sure enough, she saw that the other party was looking at Ashes with disdain, and the angle of her chin was raised just right.

Nobles should use this expression!

Andrea secretly praised that after she came to Border Town, the witch she was most fond of was this elusive woman. The skill Nightingale displayed when rescuing the Witch of the Ruins was indeed extraordinary, and she was from the same noble family as herself, and even her hair color was very close! In the several sniper battles against the mixed-species evil beasts on the city wall, the other party also recognized his ability, and even shared the dried fish with him, quite like an aristocrat.

Most importantly, she also disliked Ashes very much.

Although I don't know how Ashes offended her when she came to Border Town for the first time, but... the enemy of the enemy is his friend, isn't it? What's more, her character fits so well with her.

"You speak as if you know the answer," Ashes shrugged.

"Of course I know." Nightingale raised the corners of her lips, "I stayed in the office all the time when His Highness drew up the design drawings, and I saw all the drawings he drew."

"It's not fair!" Mystery Moon muttered.

"She doesn't participate in the quiz," the prince's words made Nightingale's proud expression froze. "Let me give you a hint, these channels are only part of the system. You might as well go to other places to guess the answer more easily."

"Goo!" Maggie and Lightning flew out of the room immediately, and the other witches were not far behind, and scattered in search of the pipeline. Andrea deliberately stayed behind everyone, and after they left, she winked at Nightingale and called her outside the door.

"What the hell is this?" Andrea asked in a low voice, "If I get the answer right, you'll get half of the dinner bread."

"I don't know either." Nightingale's answer made her slightly taken aback.

"Didn't you say you've seen all the drawings?"

"That's right, it's like "Theoretical Basis of Natural Science". You know all the words on it, right? But can you understand what it means when you put them together?"

"Uh—" Andrea opened her mouth, but found that what the other party said was completely reasonable. She had also read the book herself, and it was indeed no different from the heavenly book.

"If you can understand His Highness' intentions just by looking at the blueprints, Anna is probably the only one in the Witch Union who has this ability," Nightingale reminded, "If you ask her, she will definitely be able to tell you the answer."

When she left, Andrea hesitated again and again, but finally called Anna out of the room without opening her mouth. Not reserved or embarrassed, but... in awe. She had never been afraid of vicious gangsters or ruthless Judgment Army, but she felt sincere fear of this girl who was less than twenty years old.

She remembered passing by the prince's office once by chance, and heard that Anna was having a conversation with His Royal Highness, the content of the conversation made her goosebumps all over her body when she thought about it now. The calculation of the high throw angle, the correction of the orbit with the parameters of the landing point, and the conversion of kinetic energy under the ideal state made her stand in place immediately. Why can the other party speak words that he can't understand at all so fluently when they are both witches? From then on, Andrea had a feeling of admiration towards Anna, and felt that she was completely different from herself, but on the same level as Lady Tilly.

Since you can't ask the answer, you can only rely on yourself. Following the prince's prompt, Andrea inspected the rooms one by one—she found that in the completed room, the copper pipes were separated by a right-angled iron fence, as if they were afraid that people would touch the pipes. If it's not a savage like Ashes, it doesn't matter even if the copper pipe comes across it, right? Thinking of what Nightingale said, "Your Highness never does things that are thankless", it seems that these iron fences obviously have their own purpose.

When she came to the first floor of the witch's building, she made another discovery. There was an extra bungalow between the castle and the witch's building, and the copper pipes leading to the two buildings extended from here.

Inside the house is a huge iron box. The lower part of the box is hollow, and there is a huge chimney on the top...it looks like a stove for cooking. And she saw a pipe directly connected to the well in the yard, which looked like a water supply device for a water tower.

Wait... Is this for boiling hot water?

But if the pipeline is used to transport hot water, there is no need to make it so large?

Andrea couldn't figure it out until the end.

Before dinner, His Royal Highness gathered all the witches in the hall, and said with a smile, "From today, the heating system of the castle is officially activated."

"Heating?" Ashes asked doubtfully.

"That's right, after the hot water boils in the boiler, the high-temperature steam enters the room along the pipes, and the radiator increases the temperature in the room. As long as the doors and windows are closed, the whole room will be warmed up quickly," the prince explained. "Compared to the fire bucket, which is not convenient to move, and needs to open the window to disperse the air, otherwise there will be a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning, the new heating equipment has no worries at all, and you can also enjoy the warmth of spring when you sleep. After the commissioning is completed, the residential area Such heating equipment will gradually become popular.”

"Then, besides Anna, Soraya and Hummingbird who participated in the installation of the heating system, the winner of the ice cream bread tonight, there is only one person who guessed right, and that is Tilly!"

During the dinner, Andrea looked eagerly at Lady Tilly's delicious smile, completely forgetting her modesty as a nobleman.
