Chapter 125 Crazy Hypothesis (Seeking Subscription Asking Monthly Pass)

Ferdinand was neither a good knight nor a qualified lord. When he inherited the title, his father left him at least one town and three manors. When he was captured, his property was only A manor, and heavily in debt, participated in the conquest of the Bastille, purely forced and helpless, wanting to make a fortune and change his embarrassing situation.

However, Ferdinand was not useless. He was an excellent architect, and he squandered all his family property on it. In order to study architecture, he even traveled thousands of miles to study at the University College of the Silver Federation Warlock Union.

He has visited and studied the ruins of the elves, the ruins of the giants, the ruined castle of the ancient Andes empire, and the mage tower. In order to study the architecture of the half-elf, he even risked his life to go to the silent rainforest and was trapped in the rainforest for half a year. As for He kept silent about what he had experienced back then, and when pressed urgently, he would be furious and burst into flames.

If only this was the case, his life would not be so miserable. After all, many nobles in the Byron League were interested in building castles, and there was a great demand for excellent architects, and the salary was usually good.

But the problem is that Ferdinand has seen too many things. Compared with those conservative lords and nobles, his architectural awareness is too advanced. Either he cannot accept his advanced style, or he cannot accept the high construction cost of the things he designed.

But Ferdinand is the kind of very stubborn person, it's okay not to listen to me, unless you can convince me, otherwise, I won't serve you!

After coming and going, his reputation will naturally stink, and no one will look for him again. The most brilliant achievement in his life should be helping Grand Duke Borg build the Solo Arena 20 years ago.

Ferdinand, who was not well received by the Man Yu army, sparked sparks with the Eternal Night Army.

No matter how advanced Ferdinand's thinking is, Sean can surpass the memory of two lifetimes. Most of the Eternal Night Legion have been nurtured by him. I dare not say that I am used to strong winds and waves. At least the ability to accept is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

The most important thing is that the Eternal Night Legion has no architects that they can use, but the energy they can use is getting bigger and bigger. At its peak, a project can mobilize 50,000 to 60,000 people. Relief, naturally engage in infrastructure projects.

What the Eternal Night Army possessed was exactly what Ferdinand dreamed of. The two sides were like dry wood meeting a raging fire, and it was only normal that they hit it off immediately.

At the beginning, the Eternal Night Legion had prejudices against his identity, but Ferdinand conquered them with his own abilities. His attainments in architecture are indeed profound, and he has his own uniqueness.

People in the world will always be tolerant to those who have real abilities.

"This is the blueprint sent by the army's staff department. I have repeatedly emphasized that we must carry out the construction according to the blueprint."

Jeffrey, head of the First Regiment of the Affiliated Engineering Corps, patiently tried to comfort him. He had been cooperating with Ferdinand for a while, and he had already figured out the other party's temper.

"The staff department seldom directly intervenes in our construction. Since it intervened this time and sent the blueprints in person, it must have deep meaning. It may not have any unique strategic significance. We just need to follow the blueprints."

Everyone has their own opportunities, but compared to Chad, Jeffrey's luck is slightly worse. During the attack on the Bastille, he was seriously injured, blinded in one eye and lame in one leg. There was no way to get in, so I had to settle for the next best thing, and went to the affiliated engineering regiment.

His ability is there. As the first batch of young soldiers, he is not bad at learning, and he has been working his own way for a few years, and he has rich experience. What's more, almost all the outstanding young soldiers go to the main force. Well, his election as the head of the First Regiment of the Affiliated Engineering Corps is not that competitive, which is a matter of course.

Since the affiliated engineering corps does not have a general, it will be dispatched and controlled by the Eternal Night Army. However, some projects require multiple corps to work together. The normal military order of the Eternal Night Legion.

Therefore, Jeffrey often performs the duties of a deputy general.

"What kind of fart is the Legion's staff department? They haven't conducted a field survey. Do they know the actual situation in Bastille? How dare they send over the drawings without authorization? I don't care what military considerations he has. Since I am the chief architect, I have the final say." Judgment power, I do not agree with this plan!"

Ferdinand didn't know what he had committed today, and he was very resistant, and the sheepskin drawings fell with a crackling sound.

Even the length, narrowness and width are marked out exactly, so could it be drawn by hand? It must have gone through rigorous on-the-spot detection and various considerations, not to mention that General Xiao En personally participated in the finalization, and it must involve the future layout of the Eternal Night Army.

This is not what Jeffrey heard or guessed, but guessed from their architectural layout in the past year.

In the past year, the walled cities and public buildings they built avoided the ancient Jacob River. Most of them were built on the top of the mountain, and the shortest ones were also halfway up the mountain. There was not a single place in the valley or the ancient river.

Nominally, it is to prevent the Man Yu army from marching into the ancient Jacob River, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and to save land as much as possible and cultivate more high-quality arable land.

It's just that Jeffrey really knows Sean too well, such a reason doesn't make sense to him at all, and there must be a deeper consideration.

Jeffrey also had a guess of his own, but this guess was too bold and absurd. He himself was taken aback by this guess and didn't dare to think about it.

When he got the new construction drawings of Bastille, the guess deeply buried in Jeffrey's heart popped up again, and the more he compared it, the more he felt the correctness of the guess.

Because this construction drawing is extremely unreasonable in the current environment, but it is really reasonable to add your own assumptions into it.

But there is no way to tell Ferdinand about this, not only because it is just a guess that I have not confirmed, if it is confirmed, then I can't say it, I can only rot in my stomach, because it will involve the Eternal Night Army Top-level core secrets.

"Sir Ferdinand, I'm really sorry. As the chief architect on the front line, you have made such a decision. The staff should have communicated with you in advance. It's just that this happened suddenly, and the staff ignored it. This is the decision of the staff. My dereliction of duty is also my dereliction of duty, and I hereby make my most sincere apology to you and explain the reasons to you.”

While Jeffrey was racking his brains to find a way to persuade Ferdinand, someone came uninvited.

Seeing the appearance of the person coming, both Jeffrey and Ferdinand stood up and saluted at the same time, "Your Excellency, General!"

The person who came was none other than Sean, the Supreme Commander of the Eternal Night Legion.

Sean is the busiest person in Eternal Night Legion, but also the most leisurely one.

Busy only because many things require him to check in the end.

Leisure is because he made the division of labor very meticulous from the beginning, and did not leave any specific things for himself, which is convenient for him to get away at any time to do other things.

Although he had been away for a whole winter, the existence of Shanying's summons did not squeeze any military affairs. As far as his work efficiency was concerned, he could finish it in a few days.

The Bastille is considered the biggest project of the Eternal Night Legion in the recent period. If I have time, I will naturally follow it to have a look. I didn't expect to bump into Ferdinand and lose his temper.

Only then did I realize that neither he nor the military staff had ignored the opinion of this construction engineer on the front line. No wonder he lost his temper. Drawings will also be greatly annoyed.

"Your Excellency, you misunderstood. I am not angry because of this, but because there is a problem with this blueprint. Look at the map. The original location of Bastille is the narrowest place in the entire ancient river. It has natural geographical advantages. Just build a A city of 10,000 kilometers can be sealed with 3,000 to 5,000 garrisons. If it is withdrawn by 10 kilometers, the area of ​​the city wall will be tripled, and the number of garrison troops will also increase exponentially, which is not economical at all. , not to mention the layout of this construction blueprint is completely unimaginable, this is not a castle at all, but a port, a port floating in mid-air."

Although Ferdinand's expression eased a little because of Xiao En's words, he would not give up his persistence easily, especially in terms of architecture. If he was such a person who easily compromised, he would not have been so miserable before. Pointing at the sheepskin map to Sean explained.

The location of the Bastille was carefully chosen.

The entire Jacob's ancient river is lined with Bastille, which is in the shape of a gourd.

The Bastille is at the thinnest part of the gourd. From then on to the west, the opening grows bigger and bigger, and then there is the Manyu Army Leader of Yimapingchuan. It is a typical impact plain terrain, but with the river of life Jacob becomes a meandering river. , this place is constantly degrading to the Gobi Desert. In less than a few hundred years, Man Yu's army leader is afraid that it will become the largest desert in the Arshan Continent.

From the Bastille to the east, although the opening is not as severe as the opening in the west, it is still open. After all, there are two large mountain ranges on the left and right of the Bastille.

Ten kilometers away, the north and south sides are directly two kilometers wider, and the original wall of the Bastille is only a little over one kilometer. Even so, it took the old Bolton nearly thirty years to build it.

And the city that the Eternal Night Legion started now will directly expand seven or eight times in size.

This scale can no longer be called a castle, but a fortress. Even if the manpower invested by the Eternal Night Legion is not ten or eight years old, it can't be completed at all.

If it was only like this, Ferdinand would not be so angry. After all, it was the business of Sean and the Eternal Night Legion to consume a lot of materials. He wished that the city could be built bigger, so he could flex his muscles.

But the problem is that the blueprint sent by the military staff is basically to build a dam-like city wall in the middle, divide the ancient Jacob River into two, and then build two castles on the mountainside at both ends of the dam.

This almost unbelievable construction style, even Ferdinand, who has a relatively strong ability to accept, can accept incompetence for a while.

"I know." Xiao En said with a smile, "Half a year ago, I took the military staff to step back and forth on the lower half of the Andes Mountains in the Jacob's Ancient River Channel seven or eight times. The blueprint you used We calibrated it and made it!"

"Since you know, why make such absurd decision?"

"A lot of things are absurd. There are prerequisites. Let me make a hypothesis. Assuming that the Jacob River resumes the situation before it stopped flowing again, would you still think this construction blueprint is absurd?"

"Impossible!" Ferdinand shook his head without hesitation. "The Jacob River has been shut down for nearly 300 years. How can it return to the previous situation?"

"Anything is possible!" Xiao En smiled unfathomably, "The Andis Crater didn't undergo any major changes in landform or rainfall three hundred years ago. No, no one asked where the water went?"

"This..." Ferdinand blinked his eyes. He really never thought about this problem, because the Jacob River has been cut off since he was a child. In his opinion, the Jacob River has been cut off. Who would ask why the Jacob River stopped flowing? Now that the flow is cut off, where does the water go?

Ferdinand got a little grumpy, but he didn't have the habit of pretending to understand. He asked, "Where did the water from the Jacob River go?"

"It diverted to the south and flowed into the Swamp of Despair." Xiao En said with a smile, "The culprit is just a collapsed mountain range. If this blocked river channel breaks open again, what do you think will happen here?"

"That would have a huge impact. Not only will we have a huge impact here, but even the structure of the Man Yu army will undergo earth-shaking changes. But you are just a hypothesis, and it is impossible to appear. Use this as a construction standard. It's too ridiculous!"

Ferdinand still had an unthinkable expression, thinking that what Xiao En said was a bit out of date, but after the other party said so, the blueprint in his hand was not as difficult to understand as before.

Once the hypothetical big river appears, rebuild the Bastille according to the original method, and if you put yourself in the big river, it will be the inevitable result that it will be washed away.

On the contrary, the design drawing in his hand is full of rationality. At most, the city wall in the middle section will be destroyed. The two castles on the mountainside and the large section of the city wall will become water fortresses, which need to be repaired slightly. can become a port.

Is it true that Jacob Jiang will fail to return?

Ferdinand is not a fool, he naturally thought of the layout of the city wall in the past year or so, the original unreasonable place, bringing this assumption into it, the same reasonable can no longer be reasonable.

Could it be that all the layouts of the Eternal Night Legion are based on this premise?

But how can they be sure that Jacob Jiang will return?

Could it be that the other party is going to cut through the mountains that block the flow of the Jacob River?

Don't look at what Sean said so lightly, but it is basically impossible to accomplish this.

Although Ferdinand has never seen the water volume of the Jacob River in its heyday, judging from the ancient river channel measured in kilometers, the water volume is absolutely astonishing. Could the mountain range that diverted such a large river be an ordinary mountain range?

How much manpower and material resources must be invested in order to accomplish this matter?
