Chapter 800 Cerela, This Is the Dragon Nest I Built for You

The old man held Gretel's request in hand, returned in tears, and went to communicate with his archmage.

He can also be considered an architectural designer, well, the not-so-proficient kind. For ordinary requirements, I can do mental calculations, estimate a rough quotation, and then submit the draft to the superior for approval. However, this is only limited to common design options.

Master Nordmark’s plan is too much!

A mage tower was split into two buildings! Build a lobby on top of the two buildings!

Oh, the latest requirement is that there can be no pillars in the hall...

"Do you know how much extra this will cost!"

he asked shakily. Gretel shrugged:

"I don't know... In short, you make a quotation first. If I can afford the quotation, I will build it. If I can't, I will change the plan. Anyway, I just want a hall like this!"

I am Party A!

Party A is responsible for making demands!

I don’t know anything about architectural design. I don’t know how to calculate structural mechanics or material mechanics. I don’t know how far magic can strengthen buildings and what magical structures they can create...

I give the plan, you give the quotation, and then everyone goes back and forth. This is the correct approach, isn't it?

As for how difficult this plan is... In his previous life, Grete, who was used to seeing all kinds of weird buildings, didn't find it difficult at all. Every side is curved, and the Kuwait Cobra Tower twists upward like a snake. Wasn't it built?

Wasn't the Zayed National Museum in the United Arab Emirates built like a hard curved silver shield, inserted into the ground at an angle of 30 degrees?

Wasn't the Sydney Opera House, with its spire-like shell built like a sail, built?

If that doesn't work, why don't we make two CCTV pants that are spliced ​​together in an inverted "L" shape?

The building was still slightly tilted, and the two suspended pieces were connected at right angles. It was many times more difficult than the hall he wanted!

The old man sighed and cried back. In the Change Department Construction Committee, several archmages looked at the request he brought back, and all of them looked livid:

"Building a hall with a height of 15 meters on top of a seven-story... 30-meter-high building? What did he think?"

"This thing is top-heavy! If something goes wrong, it will fall up very fast!"

"And there can't be any columns in the center of the hall... If there are solid walls underneath, it wouldn't be difficult to build a dome on top. The problem is, it's hollow underneath! What's the support for this roof?"

"The two sides of the mage tower are so far apart... Do you know how much effort it takes to modify the magic circle in order to spread the power of the magic circle evenly without wasting the power in the central open space?"

Design, design, design.

Calculate, calculate, calculate.

After wasting countless scraps of paper and building models more than ten times, the archmage's eyes turned red and his hairline receded another five millimeters. Finally, they even asked a prophecy magician to make a prediction——

This is necessary. According to the regulations of the parliament, for difficult buildings that have no precedent, a prophecy magician must be invited to take a look. Otherwise, no one can be sure whether it will collapse...

What Gretel wanted, the plan for a hall on the top of the twin towers of the Mage Tower, was finally made.

"This plan can be done, but it requires an additional 5,000 contribution points for construction costs." The old man spread the drawing in front of Grete and pointed to the markings on it to explain to him:

"1,000 of the contribution points will be used to transform the magic circle so that its power can be transmitted evenly to the two buildings;"

"1,000 contribution points are used to deepen the foundation and thicken the walls to make the building more stable;"

"3000 contribution points, used to build this hall——"

He observed Grete's expression carefully:

"You wouldn't mind if the roof was made into a vault, right? It's really impossible to make a flat roof without columns, and it will collapse. If it's a vault, it's no problem. Triangular spires or curved vaults are both fine, it depends on which one you want. A sort of."

Gretel was stunned. yes! How could he forget the vault! If there are no columns for a long-span roof, a vault is the most fragrant!

If you are relatively poor, you can use triangular spires - the factory buildings he has seen in his previous life are all done this way; if you are relatively wealthy, curved vaults are the standard feature of buildings such as cathedrals!

"And the vault has the advantage of effectively preventing water leakage and snow accumulation. It will not collapse the roof due to heavy snow accumulation." The old man smiled and tried his best to sell:

"With so many benefits, for only 3,000 contribution points, we also provide two automatically opening and closing doors, 14 meters high and 10 meters wide. - Come to think of it, if you want to build such a large hall, you should need matching doors, right? "

Grete was greatly moved. The gate is definitely needed so that Serira can use her dragon form to fly directly in and out of the dragon's nest. How convenient!

The only problem is that he has seen the real dragon's nest, and he heard Cerira say that she likes the platform on top of the dragon's nest. It is very comfortable to watch the stars there when the weather is good. so……

"By the way, is this roof also vaulted on the outside? Can it be made into a flat roof?"

The little old man breathed in, breathed out. Fortunately, they have anticipated this crazy idea and have already taken measures to deal with it. Then, he turned another page of the album and showed the new design plan:

"You can add a flat roof above the dome - it will cost more. Add 2,000 contribution points."

"So expensive?"

"The weight! Adding a flat roof requires very high load-bearing requirements for the vault! The foundation must be deepened and the walls must be thickened in order to be able to bear the increased weight!"

Gretel did the math, 5,000 points, 2,000 points, plus the additional costs of facilities such as the library and soundproof panels, it was almost 8,000 contribution points. It feels a bit overwhelming to add so much debt all at once...

"Can I stay and study this quote?"

"Okay, okay, please..." God bless, I hope that after your research, you can cut off some unnecessary ideas, and don't make any mistakes again!

Gretel returned to the Mage Tower with the design drawing and quotation. That night, the core members of the Mage Tower gathered around this design drawing and looked at each other.

"It's a bit expensive, but it's not impossible to get it..." Master Norwood calculated the recent income of the Mage Tower and said hesitantly:

"Recently, penicillin, rubber and other items have been selling well. The pain relief seal is said to have been sold to the mainland. The Alchemy Guild has given a large share. In addition to daily expenses, the Mage Tower account can now use 3,000 contribution points. "

"The medical center is almost the same." Carlos followed up. As the executive vice president of the hospital, he has a better understanding of the hospital’s financial situation than Grete:

"Recently, high-income pregnant women have had cesarean sections, and the medical income of wealthy businessmen has been pretty good. After deducting the hospital's emergency food storage needs, and using another 3,000 contribution points, it shouldn't be a problem."

Then there are only two thousand contribution points left. Grete breathed a sigh of relief. Two thousand contribution points are not difficult to get, whether you borrow money from relatives and friends, take out a loan from the parliament, or work on a paper overnight.

Even with his position in the parliament, Grete believes that it should not be a problem for him to obtain a credit limit of less than 5,000 contribution points——

"Then...that's it?"

"Not so good?"

Annevia had been silent before, but now she raised her head and asked cautiously:

"Building a dragon's nest on the top of the medical center? - When Miss Serira moved around with her human body, everyone really didn't feel anything. But if she returns to her dragon form, won't the dragon's power cause oppression to the surroundings?"

Grete hesitated for a moment. Long Wei's oppressive power was so strong that even ordinary people couldn't stand it. Even Bernard couldn't get close to him at first. What if Serira accidentally exudes a bit of dragon power while in dragon form...

Gretel could almost imagine the patients in the hospital who were stiff, fell down, were unconscious, had shortness of breath, had soaring blood pressure, and had open wounds - oh, the last one could be crossed out, but the wounds collapsed and a lot of blood oozed from the skin. What a scene. .

"Besides, the medical center is noisy and crowded with people coming and going. Miss Serira, wouldn't you be willing to build a dragon's nest there?"

Gretel was silent. Currently, Oak Grove Hospital does not have many patients. There are less than 100 inpatients on a daily basis. But what if the scale expands in the future?

Not to mention expanding to the level of the largest hospital in the universe, what about expanding to the level of the top three hospitals in the previous life?

Just thinking about looking down from the dragon's lair made Grete feel like his ears were ringing, his head felt dizzy, he felt nauseous, and he felt like vomiting...

In the end, it was Aurora who gave him the decisive blow. This follower, who came from a privileged background and had hardly experienced hardship since childhood, stared at the spread out design drawings and said hesitantly:

"Grete, why do you want to build a big bench?"

Click!

Gretel cracked.

bench...

bench...

bench...

Two 30-meter bench legs, with a 15-meter-high bench surface on top...

This is so ugly!

No!

This is not the dragon nest he wants to build for Cerela!

"I...I will revise the plan again!"

Then, the fat old man heard a question that almost made him collapse on the spot.

"Change the mage tower back to the original plan, which is the simplest basic plan. Do not split it into two pieces, and do not need a hall on the top. Then..."

Master Nordmark looked over sincerely:

"Is there any way to build a 40*60 hall on my existing mage tower? Or buy a nearby hillside full of magic elements and dig it out?"

Old man: "..."

Fortunately, when he went back to the construction committee to communicate, he heard some gossip and learned a lot of inside information. There are speculations that are quite close to the truth as to why Master Nordmark built such a hall.

Almost without thinking, he smiled and recommended:

"It's not difficult to add another layer on top of your existing mage tower. As for the diameter of the mage tower being insufficient, that's not difficult either. We have a mature expansion plan for the mage tower. All you need to do is add money -"

There are always some magicians. As their strength increases and the number of their disciples and disciples expands, the original mage tower is not enough. The building committee is very skilled at this work.

So, after paying an additional three thousand contribution points, Gretel finally got his wish and thickened his high-level mage tower and built a hall on top. It can usually be used to hold events, dances and concerts are not a problem, but when Serila needs it -

Pulling Serira, who had just returned from her slumber and had just returned to the mage tower, Gretel stepped into the hall and proudly introduced:

"Serila, this is the dragon nest I built for you!"
