He sent the two little girls away, asked Kaya to clean up the environment inside the magic tower, and asked Halumi to go hunting for tonight's dinner. This is a job that the two girls strive for each other, and Lin has no reason to disagree.
When stationed in any magic tower, the effective attack range within X ten minutes (10 kilometers) naturally belongs to the territory of the magic tower. Unless the tower is built in a city, it will be limited to the interior of the tower. Since he is responsible for suppressing the local monsters and uncivilized tribes, it stands to reason that the output here belongs to the tower owner.
Unfortunately, in the association's evaluation, the Tower of the Great Sage's resources are at the lowest level, its output is below the low standard, and its trouble level is at the upper-middle level. Over the course of thousands of years, all the valuable things in the Magic Tower have been taken away or destroyed by the previous tower owners, and now only a piece of historical value is left. ... We can’t engage in tourism industry in this world. The historical value is of no use!
It is for this reason that the Tower of the Great Sage fell into Lin's hands. Because really no magician wants to come to this ghost place where birds don't lay eggs.
Even though this tower was a powerful war fortress of the first order thousands of years ago, today there is a hole in the tower, and most of the inherited artifacts have been lost. The ability rating of the Tower of the Great Sage has already fallen to the last order. He no longer has the courage he once had.
In addition to the trouble of the environment, although it is rated as medium to upper level, in fact, the monsters that move within this range are all low-level group creatures. The added value of conquering Warcraft is not seen in the eyes of high-powered magicians, and the characteristics of group actions also prevent low-end adventurers from approaching easily, which leads to today's embarrassing situation of neither superior nor inferior.
However, with so many shortcomings, it is not without its advantages. When the association obtained the Tower of the Great Sage, the application for reconstruction was also approved. As a semi-public magic tower, it is not up to the tower owner to do whatever he wants. Changes to the overall structure must also be approved by the association to prevent someone from privately dismantling the tower and selling it as magic materials. In fact, something like this happened before, so there are relevant regulations. ...It can only be said that human greed is indeed unlimited.
For the association, the ideal situation is for someone to take advantage of the situation and pay for the tower to be repaired. But the fact is that the resource output around the Tower of the Great Sage simply cannot afford the cost of renovation. Otherwise, such a long time would not have passed and the tower would still look damaged.
Lin's plan, in a nutshell, is to tear down the east wall and mend the west wall. Abandon severely damaged structures as materials, repair slightly damaged parts, and repair as complete a structure as possible. This idea has been proposed in previous applications, but the actual method requires on-site inspection before repair can be carried out, and there is no guarantee of the final result.
Generally speaking, such a vague plan will not be approved. It is really that this tower is too annoying. It has been vacant for several years and no one is willing to move in. That is why the Magician Association will open the door to Lin's plan. . The only condition is that it will end up being a three-story tower and the Magic Tower cannot be razed to the ground.
Although the loopholes in the contract did not limit the ability to slim down the Magic Tower, Lin still conscientiously ignored this possibility.
I don’t know why the previous tower owners didn’t think of similar repair ideas. Judging from the records, most people are worried that random modifications will destroy the entire magic circle of the magic tower, making the damaged but still usable condition directly become unusable. After all, it is rare for a tower to be damaged to this extent and still be able to maintain normal operation.
While surveying the scene, there was a large open book floating beside him, which was the magic tower log obtained from the association. It records the research and modifications made by successive tower owners on the magic tower, as well as some insights and information about adding and removing artifacts.
This book has been the most read in recent times. The running accounts recorded in it can be said to be boring and disorganized. The only good thing is that the time sequence is not messed up, but there is no classification. Looking at this record, Lin remembered the feeling of checking logs and debugging in the past.
After actually seeing the condition of the Tower of the Great Sage and doing a little calculation of the materials, Lin probably had some idea. The first floor can be completely restored, the second floor can be restored to six complete rooms, and most of the damaged room on the third floor is expected to be demolished and made into a balcony. This is related to my next plan. If there are any remaining materials available, repair the seventh room on the second floor.
After you have an idea in mind, the next step is to start planning. In addition to determining the order of construction, it is also necessary to reconstruct the energy transmission channel of the entire magic tower. At least those wall structures that are planned to be demolished must stop the energy supply, otherwise not even a piece of debris can be moved.
Maybe motors are not my specialty and I can’t afford nanotechnology. But as a person from the science and engineering department, I can still understand the super large circuit board that is three stories high. In Lin's eyes, the energy transmission structure of the entire magic tower is just a circuit board.
The magic array of some special nodes is like a capacitor or a resistor, playing a similar role. The energy transmission only ensures that it flows through each brick to allow the magic material to exert its characteristics.
This level of understanding has been conducted in small-scale experiments in the past years and has been verified to be correct. Now it is just enlarging the scale dozens of times to do the same thing.
To modify the energy transmission route, the traditional approach is to start from the console in the core room, and then go to nearby nodes to make changes. However, relying on the program that Lin previously entered into the special magic stone as a basis, all the work can be completed more easily. And with the help of the knowledge of mixing the two worlds, the program written can form a more intuitive picture in the energy pool to assist in one's own transformation.
Of course, the detailed input and output procedures still need to be adjusted. Considering that this would not be a regular job, Lin did not intend to perfect the program. Use the habits you had before traveling through time, and do whatever is convenient for you. Everything is focused on efficiency. After that, we need to improve the main control interface, and there will be plenty of time to do that in the future. After all, this is where I plan to live for the rest of my life.
The brown-skinned girl Kaya has tidied the magic tower up and down. That is to say, first use the wind technique to blow the dust out, and then use the water collection technique to wash all the places, mainly the blood stains, excrement and other dirt left by goblins and other unknown animals. After doing it roughly, she was doing detailed cleaning and decoration in the core room. This place will be the temporary residence of the three masters and apprentices, and the other rooms will be sorted out later.
What is more troublesome are those wooden products, such as beds, bookshelves, tables, etc. The previous tower owner did not have the luxury to use magic materials for these things, but instead processed them from nearby trees. As long as no one takes care of them, these things will get damaged very quickly. So another task of Kaya is to count what can be used and what needs to be scrapped and remade.
On the contrary, the large box used to store things was very sturdy, but a little dirty. After a little tidying up, I put the more valuable and rarely used items in the luggage and some belongings neatly into the box, replaced it with a lock, and the work here was done.
Hallumi's shouts came from downstairs. She had just caught a few rabbits and was calling for help. Kaya handed the key to the box to her teacher, then walked downstairs carrying a few pots. When two girls do these things, it can be considered that they are familiar with each other. Sure enough, the environment will make people grow. Pampering yourself in a beautiful place is called a happy childhood, but it will only ruin your child.
Just before the two girls packed up the rabbit and cooked it into a pot of rabbit soup, Lin made the first modification to the entire tower's magic circuit. Bypass those structures that are scheduled to be demolished, make reservations for the parts that need to be repaired, and optimize and improve the entire loop system. It looks like we can start work in the afternoon.
"Teacher, it's time for lunch." Halumi held the two handles of the pot and carefully walked into the core room. Kaya followed, carrying several clean bowls and wooden spoons.
In fact, there is no lunch habit in the Lost World, but there is no reason why Fat Mansion is fat. The main reason is that he cannot tolerate hunger. How could Lin possibly bear the thought of having to wait until dinner after breakfast, so he brought the habit of lunch to the Lost World. As for the fact that I can still maintain a well-proportioned figure without getting too fat, it's just that there is too much physical work in the world of Lost World and I can't gain weight.
Wild coriander combined with rabbit meat makes it delicious when stewed. While listening to the two girls' vision for the future, Lin felt relaxed. This can be regarded as settling into a home that truly belongs to one's own.
After eating half full and taking a breather, Lin began to direct his two young apprentices. First, clean up the area to be repaired, mainly removing the damaged bricks and retaining the intact brick structure. Then just fill in the gaps with new magic bricks.
The cleared waste bricks are gathered in the casting room, and new magic bricks will be made using the shaping technique and the magic flame in the furnace. This unskilled chore will be the job of two girls.
The giant strength technique combined with the light object technique made the girls' errands count as labor, and they only had to go up and down the stairs. They haven't learned the magic of floating or flying yet, and their apprentice-level control doesn't allow them to move their bodies very accurately. It is more practical to walk on two feet.
Lin's job was another one. He walked out of the magic tower and went to the surrounding woods, intending to find suitable wood to make several molds.
The traditional manufacturing process of magic bricks is to use a ruler to cut out the original stone. It is a little longer than XVI dir (about 16 cm), the width is a little less than X dir (about 10 cm), and the height is a little bit longer than VI dir (about 10 cm). Then add a little more rectangular shape (about 6 cm), and then use shaping to trim the appearance.
What is that little bit? When Lin looked at the data, he only had this idea. Some people say it is the width of a finger, others say it is the thickness of a thumb nail. There are different opinions. And the level of skill of the producer can be achieved by just these "little bits" of manipulation.
Because the quality of the magic brick's energy conduction and its characteristic performance after receiving the energy are inseparable from the shape and size of the brick. That data has long been recognized as the best size.
As for that little bit, it is true that the standards of weights and measures in the Lost World are very crude and powerful. It's similar to Earth's cooking recipes, add one spoonful of salt, two spoons of sugar, and one spoonful of soy sauce. Most recipes are not kind enough to remind beginners whether a spoonful is a tablespoon or a teaspoon. You always have to cook it to know whether it is too salty or too sweet...
Of course, there is also a saying that if you directly use the sizes of XVI dir, X dir, and VI dir, you can also get good results. But for a top science and engineering student who traveled from the earth, how could he not see that this is exactly 1.618, followed by a bunch of decimal points, the golden proportional constant.
Taking the standard measuring tape provided by the association and the precision of his own processing, Lin was not sure whether the golden ratio was the final answer. However, it is imperative to make several molds of the same specifications to speed up the production of magic bricks. Anyway, as long as the size falls within the range, the effect won't be that bad.
