Vol 9 Chapter 8: Temple under reconstruction

right now? !! Maximus looked at the children in surprise, reminding Gauss: "Don't forget, at late night, the patrol will check the post!" "
"Rest assured, I will go back on time and not be caught by those Dionians!"
Seeing Gauss insisting, Massims had to agree to let his wife take out his treasured Turui wine from under the bed (this was sent by Pubius when he visited him, and the two had worked together in Rome For a long time, the relationship is good), and then let his wife lead the children into the house to rest in advance.
The two children could rest early when they heard it, and immediately cheered, which triggered Gauss's discussion. He looked at the two small wooden boards and white pens placed under the candlelight, and said, "Brother, look, children. You do n’t want to learn the words of Dionysian. You still force them to learn this every day!

Because he had argued with Gauss several times before about this, Massims smiled helplessly, and he didn't want to say more. He moved the shabby wooden table in the corner and took out two more wooden cups. Pour wine ...
Gaius was sent away. Although Maximus was flushed because of his drunkenness, his eyes were extremely deep. He never expected that the information that Gauss unintentionally revealed when drinking and chatting was so amazing. Making him unable to stand idly by, he needs to make an important decision on this matter, which concerns his future and the future of the children.
So he sat and pondered in the room, hesitating ...
……………………………………
As the center of the Kingdom of Dioriya, the early morning of Turui Inner City has always been peaceful and peaceful, but during this period, due to the expansion of the main temple of Hades, the entire inner city has become much more lively and sometimes too noisy However, the people in the inner city not only expressed their understanding of this, but even strongly supported it, because most of them were loyal believers of Hades, and they all hoped that the gods they worship could sit in a wider and more comfortable temple and accept more The worship of many people can better show its power.
What's more, the main temple of Hades was built when the city of Turui was rebuilt 20 years ago. At that time, Dionia was only a small alliance just established. Its national strength was not strong and was limited by the financial resources at that time. The temple may have been built very magnificently.
Today, the Kingdom of Dionia has become the most powerful country in the Western Mediterranean, and the main temple of Hades, the symbol of the spirit of the Kingdom, cannot match the prominent status of Dionia today, even the newly-built Roman of Hades. Both the temple and the temple of Syracuse hadis are larger and more spectacular than the main temple of Turui, which shames the superior Turui people, so they have repeatedly asked the Senate Expansion of the main temple of Hades has not been approved by the king and the Senate until this year. Of course, as advocates, they must actively cooperate.
The gates of the inner city had already opened before daybreak, and the city guards who had completely awoke had to work up their spirits and began to perform their duties, because the artisans responsible for the construction of the temple had gradually entered from the outer city. Inner city. They are the most exquisite craftsmen summoned from the whole kingdom by the Senate, and there are thousands of people. Most of them are arranged in temporary dormitories where athletes lived in the past when football and football games were held in the outer city. The region gathered more than 3,000 laborers, so a long line was formed outside the gates of the inner city early in the morning.
Nearly 5,000 people build temples at the same time, which is a great test for the organization and management of the entire construction site and the safety and security of the entire inner city.
The artisans get up at 4 in the morning, and there is a special cafeteria to provide them with a rich breakfast. After eating, they also bring some bread and fruits to the construction site for lunch. Then, under the leadership of their respective foremen, they came to the gates of the inner city and entered the inner city after careful examination by the city guards and boarded the heaven hill.
After the craftsmen have basically arrived, the chief foreman of the craftsman will gather the foremen to get together and assign them the work of the day. And these foremen will gather their own artisans and laborers to communicate the tasks and guide them how to complete the tasks better.
After the meeting, thousands of workers dispersed, and one day of construction began.
The construction of the temple is mainly divided into 4 parts: fine processing of stone, carving of idols, building of scaffolding and building of the temple body.
Up to now, most of the outer wall of the temple has been built, so the wooden scaffolding surrounding the temple has been set up long ago, and the rest is just for inspection and maintenance at any time. A large amount of artisans and laborers concentrated their energy on the fine processing of stone and the construction of temples.
Stone processing is divided into two types: one is to perform more fine processing on the stone after shaping, not only to remove the debris from the stone, to make it more square, but also to ensure that its size is not bad. In order to ensure that there will be no errors when it is stacked as a wall brick. The processing of round stones is even more stringent, because it is the material of the pillars that support the main body of the temple. The circular area of ​​each temple pillar is continuously shrinking from bottom to top. The size requirements of the stone are more stringent, and the appearance of the stone must be carved with decorative lines.
The second is to process the plate on the top of the temple. This is not ordinary processing, but to sculpt relief patterns that conform to the theme of the temple in accordance with the requirements of the designer. This places higher requirements on the craftsmanship of the craftsman. They are all in charge of well-known stonemason with high artistic level.
In addition, there are some craftsmen who want to further process the finely processed stones, stack several square stones together, use a chisel to cut a complete t-shaped or h-shaped groove, or use an iron drill in the center of the round stone. Drill through ... why bother to do this? Because it is difficult to fix such a huge stone with a mortar, Dionysian's unique cement has strong adhesion, but it will destroy the beauty of the temple's exterior. Using this traditional Method, just use a metal nail to pass through the small hole in the center, connect the various cylinders, or use iron clamps to embed in the T-shaped groove, splice the tiles, and then pour the molten lead water into the groove to fix the metal. The nails and clamps, plus these grooves are all on the inside of the wall tiles. On the outside, they look natural, solid and beautiful, showing the greatness of the gods.
So how are these processed stone bricks and cylinders so huge and heavy, and how are they stacked on high walls?
The artisans have a sharp weapon for lifting stones—the crane. The Greeks invented this lifting tool very early. The Dionian Academy has systematically studied the principles of levers, pulleys and mechanics. This machine is improved to increase its efficiency, and can be easily disassembled and carried by two or three people. As long as it is placed on a high-level scaffold and controlled by two people, the stone can be hoisted to a high place. The handle that was specifically reserved when the stone was previously shaped is effective at this time. It can easily bind the rope and then hang it on the hook of the crane. After the position is put, let the craftsman be careful. Chisel off the handle. Those stones that do not have a reserved handle can also use lifting pliers or use the previously made grooves to help them bind and fix, so that they can be transferred to the designated location by the elevator.
The Greeks have built temples for hundreds of years, and they have long explored various methods to facilitate the lifting of stones. While Dionia has been in the country for more than 20 years, it has not stopped building temples in various towns, and has accumulated a lot of experience. 2. Improved methods and tools, making the most dangerous process of moving and stacking stones in the process of building the temple more secure, greatly reducing the casualty rate and improving the efficiency.
These 5,000 craftsmen and laborers are not only skilled, but also participated in the construction of the Temple of Hades in other towns many times. They have very rich experience and good cooperation. Therefore, although there are many people on the site, the division of labor is very clear. The whole scene seemed orderly and not messy at all.
Even though they have been here for several months, everyone is still very engaged and full of work passion, because they are building the main temple for Hades, the patron saint of the kingdom, and almost all of them are loyal. The believers believe that the main temple is the home of Hades and must provide the best place for this great of heaven. During the construction process, any slackness is disrespect to him!
What's more, the reconstruction of the main temple of Hades ~ EbookFREE.me ~ is also a great opportunity for the Kingdom of Dionia to show its culture and strength to other countries and forces throughout the Mediterranean, so even if the financial situation is a little tight, Daphs still has no Without hesitation, the purpose of "building the most beautiful and magnificent temple in the world" was reached, and was unanimously approved by the elders.
So the craftsmen felt great honor to be able to participate in this great project.
According to Daphs, the temple is at least as grand as the Parthenon in Athens. But in fact, the original main temple of Hades is a double temple. This design will not change even if it is rebuilt, so it determines that the temple is at least twice as large as the Parthenon temple. In the tradition of the Temple of Hades, the Temple of Sages, the Hall of Worship, the Wicked Prison, and the Confessional Room will be set up in the temple, so the final designed temple area will be larger.
The amount of engineering is naturally very large, and the amount of stone is also very large. Tens of thousands of slaves excavate the top-quality stones from quarries throughout the country. The expenditure of the entire project is naturally a huge number, but the Kingdom ’s finances only allocate With a small amount of funds, most of the money comes from the savings of the entire Hades temple system over the past 20 years and the fundraising of countless Hades believers, which has already met the needs.
