Vol 4 Chapter 96: Savvy elders of Lisangya

This method is summed up in one sentence.
Is the cliff too high? That's simple, just fill it in!
The cliffs of 50 meters high are completely unsuccessful for most ordinary people on the mainland of Sainz, so no matter whether it is the Kingdom of Rulson or the Amrit Chamber of Commerce, at the beginning, I heard that Xu also actually When I wanted to build a road from here to the Kingdom of Rulson, I thought he was crazy at all.
But for Xu Yi, on the developed world of science and technology, the cliffs of 50 meters high are not difficult to solve.
There are many ways to solve this problem on Earth. It is only limited to the current technological level on the Sains continent. Xu also chose the simplest and most rude method, which is to fill the cliff.
Specifically, it is the use of a large number of stone earthwork to increase the low-lying Principality of Constantine, and to create a subgrade that is sufficient to connect the other side of the cliff to the Kingdom of Rulson.
It is certainly impossible to say that it is completely filled. What Xu also asks is to fill out an uphill roadbed that can be used to lay roads.
Considering the height of the cliff and the of the road, according to the calculation, the length of the roadbed will be as long as five kilometers. With the roadbed of at least 50 meters wide, the required stone earthwork will be an astronomical number.
If it is based on the level of technology on the mainland of Sainz, whether it is excavation or transportation of stone and earth, it can only be completely manpower. To complete such a huge project, at least tens of thousands of migrant workers must be used. It is even possible to complete it in more than ten years.
This amount of engineering. In addition to the embodiment of the national will. There is no other possibility at all.
Now, with the help of engineering magic machinery developed by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. This project is much simpler.
After careful exploration and data projection by the Amrit Chamber of Commerce, it is estimated that as long as the new Feishang Association can provide enough large and medium-sized magic excavators and large-scale magical heavy-duty locomotives, the huge manpower required for this huge project will not exceed 3,000. It will not exceed two years.
If all goes well, the entire Slu Highway will most likely be completely completed within five years.
However, although the required manpower and engineering time are greatly reduced, the investment will not be reduced too much.
According to estimates, the Slu Highway will definitely be the most expensive road built by the Amrit Chamber of Commerce to date.
The total length of the road from Xu’s private territory to the border between the two countries is more than 140 kilometers. It is estimated that it will invest 300,000 gold coins.
The section of the Kingdom of Rulson from the border to the city of Kulaka has a total length of more than 560 kilometers and is expected to invest 1.1 million gold coins.
These two sections of roads are laid in accordance with ordinary road construction standards, and the estimated cost is also in accordance with this standard.
But from filling the roadbed to finally reaching the top of the cliff, the total length of the entry into the Kingdom of Rulson is only about five kilometers, and the estimated cost is likely to exceed the staggering 800,000 gold coins.
Add up, this Slu Highway has a total of 700 kilometers, and the total investment is more than two million gold coins, and may even reach as much as 2.5 million gold coins.
Although the road to the Kingdom of Rulson will be invested by the Kingdom of Rulson, President Cruise still feels that the cost of this road is too high. Some are not worthwhile.
In his view, the new Feishang will build such a highway at such a high cost. It's better to just wrap around a circle and spend more than one day and a small amount of freight at most, which is far more economical than building this road.
However, Xu also did not feel much about this price.
On the earth, the construction of a highway can be carried out at a cost of tens of millions of yuan per kilometer or even hundreds of millions of yuan. The average cost per kilometer of roads here is even less than 10,000 gold coins, which is undoubtedly much cheaper. It is.
Although the artificial materials of the Cairns continent are extremely cheap, and the quality of the roads built is far from the highways on the earth, the price still makes Xu Yi feel completely acceptable.
The reason why I insisted on investing a lot of money and overcoming such difficulties was to build this road. In fact, it was precisely because Xu did not want to adopt the method that President Cruise said.
It is possible to detour the goods to the Kingdom of Rulson, but if you want to detour, you must pass through the territory of the Kingdom of Lampari.
Let’s not say that there must be a certain tariff on the entry and exit of the Kingdom of Lampari. If the Kingdom of Lampari is prohibited from passing through the goods of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, then it will be time for the new company to seek a solution. late.
After all, the new Feishang Association is currently actively developing large-scale magic ships suitable for deep-sea ocean navigation, and the construction of this Slu Highway is to be able to transport the goods produced by the new Feishang Chamber to other places on the mainland more conveniently and quickly. go with.
Although the Principality of Constantine is very suitable for living, it can be used without much interference. However, the terrain here is somewhat limited. If you do not try to solve this problem in advance, the new Feishang Association will only have one dead end.
Of course, these problems are not within the consideration of the elders of Lisangya. She came here to meet with Xu, mainly because of the road foundation filling project of the Slu Highway, which happened to pass through the Moon Shadow Forest where the Moon Shadow tribe is located.
To fill the ground and improve the roadbed, of course, it will greatly affect the topography of the Moonshadow Forest, so Xu must also obtain the support of the Moon Shadow tribe in advance.
Xu also proposed this project to the elders of Lisangya. When asked for cooperation, he got the initial consent of the elders of Lisangya.
This time, the elders of Lisangya came and did not reveal any strange expressions. Xu also naturally believed that she had decided to cooperate.
Sure enough, after hearing the question of Xu Yi, the elder Laosian nodded and said: "Well, cooperation is no problem. After all, it is good for our tribe to be able to go straight to the Kingdom of Rulson."
Xu also smiled slightly and waited for the following.
The elders of Lisangya paused: "But... Xu will be president, I have to make a few requests."
"please say."
"First of all, the construction of this road will cause a lot of damage to the Moon Shadow Forest. So it will have a certain impact on the lives of our people. Xu Huichang. You should give some compensation to our tribes."
Xu also couldn't help but smile.
Who said that the elves are proud of being disdainful like humans? At the moment, the elders of Lisangya are not bargaining with him.
"This is of course. Just don't know how much the Lisian elders feel satisfied with the compensation we have given?" Xu Yixiao asked.
"No. Pure gold coins don't make much sense to us, and we are not very short now." Elder Lisangya shook his head. "Oh? What compensation do you need?" Xu was slightly surprised.
"We need some practical help. For example, because there is not enough water in the Moon Shadow Forest, it is always very difficult for our people to use water. Xu Huichang, listen to Aluthia, you and their night song tribe One contact is to help them solve the water problem, then can you help our tribe solve this problem?"
Xu also indulged for a moment and nodded: "Although this requires field visits to know the exact answer. But it should not be a problem. For example, with the ability of the siege machine that our Chamber of Commerce is now developing, it is possible to mine the groundwater of the Moonshade forest for you. For use. Even I can build a comprehensive automatic water supply system for your tribe, ensuring that every member of your family can use clean water without leaving home."

Really?
The elders of Lisangya had a surprise on their faces. "Is there such a convenient system? That's great! Mr. Xu, I will order this system for you now. Let me pay for it."
Seeing the excitement in the application of the elders of Lisangya, Xu also wondered.
Is every elf tribe facing water problems?
Whether it is the night song tribe or the moon shadow tribe, the first question that he helped solve is actually this problem.
With regard to this comprehensive automatic water supply system, Xu has actually started small-scale facts in his own private territory.
For example, a magic water pump was placed underground in the manor, and the groundwater was continuously pumped into a newly built water tower in the manor, and then flowed into the pipes through the water tower. For all the rooms you need.
The automatic water supply system has been developed for less than two months and is still in the experimental stage. After the trial is determined to be feasible, it will be promoted to the entire territory.
Xu Yi’s goal is to allow every household in the territory to use clean tap water in the first half of next year.
"Aside from the water problem? Is there any requirement?"
"In addition to the water problem, there is nothing too important."
Elder Lisangya smiled and made several requests. It really isn't anything too important. It just hopes that the new Feishang will be able to provide more convenience to the Moon Shadow tribe.
For example, Elder Lisangya hopes that the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce will develop a new type of fertilizer processing machinery for the Yueying tribe's fertilizer processing plant to improve the efficiency and output of the fertilizer processing plant.
For example, the Moon Shadow tribe hopes to build a small elves in the human towns outside the Moon Shadow Forest. It is hoped that Xu will also be able to negotiate with the lords of Stading and Weilun and obtain their approval.
For example, Elder Lisangya hopes that the new Feishang will tailor a special magic car for her according to her requirements...
......
After listening to the various requirements of Elder Lisangya, Xu also looked at her eyes and made a great change.
Compared with the ordinary elves, this elder of Lisangya is more like a savvy human businessman. He has never given up any of his own interests because of the so-called pride and restraint of the elves.
In the process of cooperation with the Moon Shadow tribe, Xu also did not know much about this. This time, it was a profound experience.
Because Xu also basically satisfied all of his demands, the elders of Lisangya were extremely satisfied. After finalizing these compensations, she nodded with a smile.
"Very good, Xu Hui is really the best friend of our elves. As a noble elf, I must respond enough to your generosity. Xu Hui, in fact, I can provide this roadbed increase project. Are you interested in a brand new solution that can save you a minimum of 500,000 gold coins and a lot of time?"
Xu Yiyi.
No way? What program can save a full 500,000 gold coins at once? Can you save a lot of time?
This is simply a fantasy!
But thinking of the mystery of the elves, Xu’s face immediately became cautious, sitting up straight and staring at the elders of Lisangya.
"I want to hear the details." (To be continued, please search for astronomical literature, the novel is better updated faster!
