Chapter 390: Turn sand into brick

At eight o'clock the next morning, Joan came to the construction site after breakfast and opened the roster to begin the roll call.
Two hundred and four employees from Dafeng Town arrived on time.
It can be seen that the daily wage of one silver coin is very tempting to these poor rural people.
In addition to the employees registered on the list, many women and children also voluntarily came and begged Joan to give them a job, even if the wages were less.
Qiao An didn’t want to hire women and minors to do heavy physical work on the construction site, but they couldn’t stand their continued pleading, especially those young faces in the crowd, who looked only twelve or three years old, and were considered his peers. It reminded him of the hard experience of working hard to make money for tuition.
If there was such a job in front of me, I would strive hard.
With such a thought, Joan couldn't bear to say no, and used "windstorm technique" to forward people's request to Lieutenant Colonel Vasa and asked him to take his idea.
Qiao An relieved Lieutenant Colonel Vaasa.
Immediately tell those women and teenagers who have their eyes on them: "The Corps can hire you to do some laundry, cooking, cleaning and other debris, but only give you 3 copper coins a day. If you are willing to accept it, come to me Sign up here."
Although the wages were less than a third of the construction workers, the women and half-old children cheered in unison and rushed to rush to Joan to sign up.
Joan spent a whole hour busy with sweat, and finally settled in these female workers and child laborers. Later, the roster was put away and returned to the construction site. More than 200 laborers recruited earlier were excavating the foundation and moving sand.
Joan strolled around the site and went to chat with Major Green, who was in charge of construction supervision.
Lieutenant Colonel Vaasa swiped a large swath on the map, circled a suitable piece of land as a place to build a fortress, and Major Green was responsible for how to construct it. Even the engineering drawings of the fortress were hand-drawn by this versatile academic officer of.
Joan was deeply admired after reading the drawings. Major Green’s handwriting was not inferior to that of professional engineers.
"The building materials of the house are nothing more than wood and masonry. The dormitory for officers and soldiers can be built with wood and simply burned mud embryos, but the fortress and the city wall are not good. It must be built with stronger stone."
Major Green pointed to the drawing and introduced it to Joanne.
"The problem now is that there is no ready-made quarry near the construction site. If we start quarrying by ourselves, it will be too much trouble, and the construction period will be greatly slowed down. Not only will we need to pay a lot of extra money, but we must always beware of the wolves and even gangs The Musbelheim Border Guards attacked our army before the fort was completed."
"In other words, the top priority is to solve the problem of stone supply."
Joan heard the subtext of Major Green and thought of the "stone wand" that Lieutenant Colonel Vasa gave to him last night.
"Mr. Green, less than half a mile from the construction site is the Jinsha River, and there is gravel near the beach. If you do not object, I plan to allocate some workers to be responsible for extracting the gravel, and transport the gravel to the construction site with a pole or a wheelbarrow. I can apply the law. Turn this gravel into sandstone and cut it into regular-sized stone bricks."
"Great, this is the answer I want to hear!" Major Green smiled and patted the shoulder of the young mage. "Can you give me a rough number, how many stone bricks can be converted every day?"
Joan figured it out and used the magic wand to perform "plastic stone", which can process up to 20 cubic feet of stone at a time, which is equivalent to 400 stone bricks. The energy stored in the wand can be cast 10 times a day, so a total of 4000 can be processed. Stone brick.
"4000 stone bricks? Well, a little less. According to my plan, a total of 60,000 to 70,000 bricks are needed to build the fortress and the surrounding wall."
"Fortunately, the current main projects are digging foundations, harvesting timber and setting up barracks. The construction of fortresses and fences has not yet been completed. During this period of time, we will store a lot of stone bricks and we will have sufficient supplies when they are used in the future. ."
"No problem, Mr. Green, just do what you said." Joan nodded happily.
That afternoon, Joan came to the construction site again.
The labor arranged by Major Green has piled up hilly gravel on the designated ground.
When Joan came, he heard the workers talking about the use of collecting so much gravel.
If it is used to mix clay to make mortar for bonding bricks and tiles, then fine river sand should also be used. These fist-sized pebbles are not useful at all.
In the sound of people's discussion, Joan walked to the gravel pile, pulled out his wand from the storage bag and held it in his palm, chanted softly to start the spell.
"Ondo!"
The Quenya word "Ondo" is translated into the common language as "stone".
Along with Joan's chant, the "crimson tears" set on the top of the wand released a strong magical glory.
This magical force caused the magic mesh threads randomly distributed around the head of the rod to be bundled into a regular loop of stripes. It looks like Joan took the magic wand as the handle and stretched out a braided with countless magic threads. The "big umbrella" enveloped a pile of gravel.
At the same time, the local magic net that constitutes this "big umbrella" also maps the "order" obtained by the entropy reduction to the scattered sand covered by it, instantly changing its physical form, changing its original size and shape. The same pebbles are reshaped into a pile of bricks of uniform material and equal size.
No more, no less, just four hundred!
Witnessing the sand pile in front of him instantly transforming into a pile of neatly arranged stone bricks, Joan nodded with satisfaction, and walked all the way with his magic wand, touching the gravel pile from time to time with the head of the "crimson tears" inlaid.
After a dizzying glory of magic, a pile of gravel was transformed into a square stack of bricks arranged behind him.
Joan exhausted the wand's energy in one breath, and the gravel accumulated in the field almost completely disappeared. Instead, 4,000 solid and solid stones appeared in front of people.
Those who have lived in the backcountry of their lifetimes have never seen such a miracle.
The admiration of people made Joan secretly ashamed.
Turning gravel into stones is nothing more than a magical skill for a truly powerful mage, not to mention that he completed the work with a wand made by someone—not his own power—which is really not a real skill.
Now that the energy of the "stone wand" has been exhausted, Joan continues to stay on the construction site and has nothing to do, so he returns to his barracks and starts a job that is more important to him than making bricks-try Use your own "mythical power" to improve several carefully selected 1st-level spells into "mythical spells".
