Chapter 281 Mage Tower, the Structure Is Capped!

"Change the formula?"

The old magician stopped his spell, looked down at Gretel, and frowned slightly:

"What, you are not satisfied with this wall?"

He was vaguely unhappy. Fossils can be turned into mud, and mud can be turned into stone. These two brothers are both level 5 spells of the transformation system. In other words, only a level 9 mage can operate them. However, he personally took action as a 14th-level great magician and a member of the jury. The hardness and fineness of the stone and the precision of the shaping were far ahead of those of mid-level mages.

Why, the little guy still dislikes one thing and the other?

But he saw a buried, motionless head and an open palm. Grete squatted in a ball on the ground, holding forward the magic materials that turned mud into stone - sand, lime, water - with his palms in front of him. His voice was confused, as if he was desperately trying to remember something:

"No... I mean, sand, lime, water, isn't this cement? Cement plus gravel and water is concrete...

Different formulas have different functions, some are quick-drying, some are wear-resistant, some are acid- and alkali-resistant, some are high-temperature resistant, and some are particularly frost-resistant, impermeable, and crack-resistant...

You must try this one by one! "

The old magician was silent. He has cast the spell of turning mud into stone countless times over the decades, and it is true that it is slightly different every time. Moreover, this difference does not seem to have anything to do with his spell control. He couldn't help but squat down and look into Gretel's eyes, and asked:

"Cement? Mix..."

The words got stuck here. After thinking for a while, he awkwardly repeated the word he heard for the first time:

"Concrete? What is that? Do you know the recipe?"

"I don't know!" Gretel said very confidently:

"I am a healer! I know that sand, lime, and water can be mixed together to make cement. No, it seems that clay and lime can be burned into cement at high temperatures. Cement plus sand, water, gravel, etc. Yes, it can be mixed into concrete! No extraordinary strength is needed, ordinary people can also make it!

But which formula produces what result? Then, I have to try them one by one... I know that there are several types of cement. It seems that it is burnt with lime, burnt with sand, and burnt with bauxite... volcanic ash, Everything is made from fly ash and slag..."

His voice became quieter as he spoke later, and he shrank down, almost curling up into a ball. He himself feels that this method of "I know the direction, but you have to try the details" is really a bit irresponsible...

The problem is that he really doesn’t know!

He majors in medicine, not architecture or materials science! I heard these differences between cement and concrete from talking to the workers on the construction site when the hospital was building a new building!

If you ask him to give you the formula, the ratio of different formulas and different properties of cement, you can't do it even if you kill his head!

The old magician really wanted to complain about Gretel. However, before the words were spoken, he had already heard Old Sam complaining softly to others from behind him:

"This kid is here again..."

Ah, yes, it was the same last time when mithril was smelted. Given a direction, a group of great magicians and their disciples and disciples, hundreds of people tried to go there day and night. This little guy turned around and went off to do other things. After tinkering with disinfectant, he also produced plague seeds in the laboratory...

So, if you are harming the Perfection School, are you here to harm their Transformation School?

What's even more irritating is that old Grom, the necromancer, is still showing off sinisterly: "Little Gretel never gives us things like this... He always makes them completely before submitting them. There was never any thought of using us as tools..."

...Is he treating you well?

That’s because I’m afraid you’ll get into trouble!

Plague is a thing that spreads throughout the city if a spy gets a little bit of it. If you start playing around with it regardless of the severity, wouldn't the whole city be wiped out?

The old magician really wanted to stand up and beat that guy up. Oh, by the way, you can't hit Gretel here, and you should knock his brains out. But the little guy’s eyes are very sincere:

"I think it would be more convenient to cast the spell if the casting material was changed to cement, or cement, sand, or gravel?

Cement with different formulas and labels can be prepared in advance to facilitate control of the concrete type when casting?

Also, the compressive strength of concrete is high, but the tensile strength is not high. If you add steel bars into the wall, the reinforced concrete will be stronger... Or when you build the building, you can add steel bars as casting materials and try it out to see the effect... …”

"Do you still want the Mage Tower?" Veins on the old magician's forehead jumped wildly. We have to try this and that. After so many experiments, several years have passed. "For the foundation wall of the mage tower, you decide what kind of stone you want!"

"Hey, hey, don't bully our kids." Old Sam suddenly came over and stood in front of him:

"Is there a research direction for you? You are not interested. Thunder Horn will take it back for research. It's not like we don't have high-level mages! If you come up with something later, you can pay for it!"

"No, no, no!" the old man said anxiously:

"Why are you doing this in the plasticity department? This is not your strong point! Leave it to us, we will study it and give him a share later!

——Little Grete, what share ratio do you want? "

Gretel gave him a confused look, stood up decisively, and stood next to old Sam.

I don't know, it's up to you. Anyway, we have high-level mages in Thunder Horn, you can’t cheat me...

Old magician: "..."

Old Sam: →_→

Are you using me as a negotiating tool?

In any case, the construction of the mage tower that Gretel has been thinking about has begun step by step. Gretel is indeed curious about various cement materials, but ten birds in the forest are not as good as one in hand. It is more important to get his mage tower quickly. The worst thing is, wait for the School of Change to experiment with new materials, and then ask them to modify it...

Anyway, new cement and new magic also have their own share, right?

The review committee member of the Change Department was just happy to see Hunter Xin, and he cast a spell to build two stone walls. If he really wanted to build the mage tower, he would have to rely on the construction team of the parliament. They have magic circles, many spell-casting materials, and most importantly, blueprints——

Grete stood next to the foundation, watching the four high-level mages open the magic circle, compare the drawings, and join forces to cast spells. After a long spell, a large earth elemental, er, or stone elemental, stood up in the magic circle. After all, it is smooth, dense, and slightly reflective. It looks like a high-grade stone.

The stone man squatted down and curled up into a ball, as if listening to the magicians' explanations and descriptions. After listening for a long time, he walked out of the magic circle and jumped into the foundation pit. Gretel couldn't help blurting out:

"Why--"

Such a big stone man, please don't destroy my foundation!

Miraculously, this stone man, which was three people tall and weighed at least seven or eight tons, made no movement at all when he jumped down, as if it had merged with the foundation silently. The four high-level mages spoke more urgently. After chanting for a long time, they suddenly raised their arms at the same time:

"rise--"

Smooth, dense, and dark walls rise from the ground, getting taller and longer.

This tower is a common style for mage towers, with an octagonal tower body, three floors underground and nine floors above ground - because it is a high-level mage tower, the number of floors has been specially added. The tower is thicker at the bottom and thinner at the top. The outer wall is slightly tilted inward, but the tilt is not large. The bottom floor of the Mage Tower has a radius reduced by 20% compared to the top floor.

The mage tower is quite high. Unlike the residential buildings Gretel saw in his previous life, the floor height was 2.8 meters and the clear height of the living room was 2.4 meters. Mages like an open environment. Each floor of this wizard tower is more than 3.5 meters, including The thickness of the ceiling is almost four meters.

The nine-story tower rose straight from the ground. Grete stood on the edge and looked up, his eyes following the tower as it kept getting higher and higher...

"Ouch!" He raised his head too much and almost lost his balance!

The tower has eight sides, with three windows on each side. Of course, from the second floor to the fourth floor, which is the ground part of the P4 laboratory, there are no windows in the red zone. Not only are there no windows, the entire wall is tight and there is no gap to the outside.

The outer wall reached its highest point and folded inward to form a pointed sloping roof. There were also a few bells hung under the eight eaves. Grete once thought about making hollow eaves on each floor, and then making a circle of balconies and railings around the tower, but was severely rejected by the magician in charge of the project:

"What does it look like! The Mage Tower has never been like this! Do you think the Magic Tower is too safe and you want to provide a place for thieves to climb the wall and catch them?"

Uh... Actually, what I'm thinking of is Chinese-style buildings like the Yellow Crane Tower and the Six Harmonies Pagoda...

Gretel paused. Thinking again about the lab theft incident, maybe he followed this plan and installed anti-theft windows on every floor?

That visual effect is terrifying just thinking about it.

Professional magicians work together to cast spells, and the construction speed is incredibly fast. For a building with three floors underground and nine floors above ground, from the time the foundation is laid to the capping of the structure, in Gretel's previous life, it would have been at least three months - at least half a month for each of the three underground floors, and each floor after plus or minus zero. 5 days, the top level is slower, about ten days.

However, in just about two hours now, the outer walls and roof of the Mage Tower have taken shape. Gretel waited for another hour. The four magicians stopped their spells and breathed a long sigh of relief. On the wall of the mage tower, from flat to convex, the outline of a stone elemental man emerged, gradually separated, and jumped out.

When he stood in front of everyone, he had shrunk by half the size he had just appeared.

"Okay, it's fine inside." At this time, most of the judges had dispersed, and only the old magician from the Change Department was still standing, accompanying Gretel as he watched the wizard's tower. Seeing the stone element appear, he pointed at the tower and smiled at Gretel:

"The rooms, floors, and stairs have all been built. The element pool, magic defense, etc. are matters for the protection system and the conjuration system. We have to wait for a few more days. How about it, do you want to go in and take a look first? Not satisfied? If so, you can still adjust it now——"

In half a day, he completed the work that took several months in his previous life... Regardless of production costs, mages are worthy of being the number one productive force...
