Chapter 663 Spectacle

"Also, I plan to build a landmark building in Neverwinter." Roland continued.

"Landmark?" Carl quickly recovered after being excited, "Do you mean a striking building such as a monument or a clock tower?"

"You can also call it a spectacle." As expected of the top figure of the original King's Capital Stonemasons Association, who can respond so quickly to the new term, Roland nodded first, then shook his head and said, "But I don't plan to build nothing. A landmark of practical value."

The First Army suffered the heaviest losses after fighting the Church, and although Iron Ax reported that the morale of the army was not dampened, family grief from the casualties was inevitable.

In order to strengthen the confidence of the citizens, especially those from other places, he thought of something astonishing as a spectacle. Of course, some wonders in history were built entirely to satisfy the selfish desires of the rulers, and did not do any good to the builders. Even if they could demonstrate national power, Roland would not do so.

"I plan to build a residential building on the south bank of the Chishui River, which is behind the industrial park."

Carl didn't speak, he obviously realized that this building is definitely not ordinary.

Roland was very satisfied with the other party's composure, "It will have about fifteen floors. Calculated at 3.5 meters per floor, the height of this building will exceed 50 meters. In other words, it is close to the height of the walls of the four old royal capitals—— That's the most magnificent project you've ever been involved in, isn't it?"

He gasped, "Your Majesty, this can be regarded as Tongtian Tower!"

"Tongtian doesn't matter, it's just a very ordinary high-rise building." Roland smiled, "But in this era, it's not too much to be used as a landmark."

The height of fifteen floors means that it will be far higher than the castle, as long as you enter the boundary of Neverwinter, you can see this high-rise building at a glance. It can not only symbolize the strength of Neverwinter, but also make up for the current shortage of housing. After all, the floor area ratio of high-rise housing is much higher than that of bungalows, which is why there are more and more skyscrapers in later generations.

"Can a house really be built so high?" Karl seemed a little doubtful.

"For concrete, this is far from the limit." Roland said after pondering for a moment, "I will personally guide you to complete it."

Despite the interlacing, the mechanics and structural principles are still universal. Before proposing this idea, he has considered many aspects: the height may seem amazing, but in fact it is not. built of stones. There have also been wooden pagodas of 130 meters in China - as long as the support is strong enough, the height is not a big problem.

In order to save materials, future generations will try to reduce the volume of wall columns as long as they meet the stability conditions. However, the current cement production in Neverwinter City is already surplus, so it is a good choice to use it to build a concrete building.

In addition, if a tower-like design with multiple podiums is adopted in the structure, although it will occupy some additional land, it can greatly enhance the stability of the structure and reduce the difficulty of construction at the same time.

As the saying goes, if the structure is unstable, more columns are added, and the level is not enough to make up the reinforcement. As long as the foundation is solid enough, it will be difficult to collapse.

The final difficulty is the pouring of concrete—this Roland has already considered, that is, let Maggie carry the hummingbird into the air, and the hummingbird will carry the tin can to pour concrete from the sky, the efficiency is not much lower than that of a pump truck.

Carl had the experience of building a witch building before, and it was also a concrete structure, but this time he just expanded the scale a little bit. Moreover, the bamboo bars and iron wires will be replaced with real steel bars at that time, and with the Witch Union as technical support, he is full of confidence in this.

"It's time, everyone put down your pens," Shujuan knocked on the table and said.

"Phew..." Evelyn let out a long breath, so, coming to Border Town... No, the second semester of Neverwinter is considered to be over. During this year, she finally caught up with everyone's study progress and took the final exam together.

She put away the charcoal pencils and looked at the people around—Anna still didn't attend. According to Sister Wendy, she has reached a mysterious and mysterious realm. When ordinary people see the books she reads, they will only I feel dizzy and drowsy, as if I have exhausted all the magic power in my body.

Candlelight was also looking at herself, and when their eyes met, she gave a thumbs up, which seemed to be a good test.

Nightingale, who sat at the end, still had a sad face. Since the reading and writing test was gone, her grades had plummeted, which made Evelyn quite puzzled. According to her understanding, the other party came from aristocratic background, and received education earlier than most people, so she would not be so hard on her studies. After thinking about it, she can only think that it is because Nightingale's ability is too important, and she is busy all day Handling things for His Majesty, thus delaying study.

After all, the other party is a battle witch who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Lord Ashes. If she is on Sleeping Island, she is almost the only existence she can look up to.

Others have joys and sorrows. For example, Agatha, Lucia, and Lily in the first echelon can always get high scores easily, and learning seems to be an innate ability for them, especially Miss Agatha , At present, there is a tendency to move closer to Anna and Tilly, and she is also a battle witch, which makes Evelyn very envious.

And the last few can be guessed by looking at their expressions. If there is no accident, Honey, Hummingbird, and Echo will basically be in charge.

Of course, this does not include the newcomers to the alliance, Baizhi and Axia—they still haven't kept up with the progress, and they can only be taught by Teacher Scroll alone for the time being.

But it was Maggie who excited Evelyn the most—looking at the dumbfounded little girl, she couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.

There are no multiple choice questions on this exam!

Ever since the results of the last final test came out, Evelyn has been brooding on her heart. She thought that the goals she had set were realistic, but she didn't expect to lose to Maggie by one point in the end.

For this reason, she also looked for the scroll to see if she had miscalculated the score, but found that the other party's multiple-choice questions had an astonishingly high correct rate, and her defeat was indisputable.

For the next year, Evelyn spent most of her down time studying.

Her ability is very quick to use. She usually only needs to go to the winery two or three times a week, and all the magic power can be cast in less than half a quarter of an hour each time. Even if she opens a bar later, it doesn't take too much time.

She has never had fun with a poker trio, and she always turns to this workbook to consolidate what she has learned in the evening when she is not bartending. Even when she collects her favorite perfumes, she has restrained a lot. Only when new perfumes are put on the shelves, Evelyn will visit the convenience market with candlelight, in order to achieve the goals she set.

And this time, she won! 8
