"In addition, I plan to build a landmark building in Neverwinter City." Roland continued.
"Landmarks?" Carl quickly recovered from his excitement. "Do you mean a monument or a striking building like a clock tower?"
"You can also call it a spectacle." As expected of the top figure of the former Royal Capital Masons Association, Roland first nodded, then shook his head and said, "But I'm not going to build no A landmark of practical value.”
The First Army suffered the heaviest losses after fighting the Church, and although Iron Axe reported that the morale of the army was not demoralized, the family grief caused by the casualties was unavoidable.
In order to strengthen the confidence of the people, especially the people from other places, he thought of the amazing things like spectacles. Of course, some wonders in history were built entirely to satisfy the selfish desires of the rulers, which did no good to the builders. Even if they could demonstrate national strength, Roland would not do it.
"I plan to build a residential building on the south bank of the Chishui River, behind the industrial park."
Carl did not speak, he clearly realized that this building was definitely not ordinary.
Roland was very satisfied with the other party's calmness. "It will have about fifteen floors. According to the calculation of three meters and five meters on the first floor, the height of this building will exceed fifty meters. In other words, it is close to the height of the city walls of the four old capitals. Is it the grandest project you've ever been involved in?"
He took a deep breath, "Your Majesty, this can be regarded as the Tower of Babel!"
"It's not like Tongtian, it's just a very ordinary high-rise building." Roland smiled, "But in this era, it's not too much to be regarded as a landmark."
The fifteen-story height means that it will far exceed the castle. As long as you enter the boundary of Neverwinter City, you can see this high-rise building at a glance. It can not only symbolize the strength of Neverwinter, but also make up for the current housing shortage. After all, the floor area ratio of high-rise housing is much higher than that of bungalows, which is why there are more and more skyscrapers in later generations.
"Can a house really be built this high?" Carl looked suspicious.
"For concrete, this is far from the limit." Roland pondered for a moment and then said, "I will personally guide you to complete it."
Despite the interlaced mountains, the mechanics and structural principles are universal. Before coming up with this idea, he has already considered many aspects: the height seems to be amazing, but in fact it is not. Built of stones. There are also wooden pagodas over 130 meters in China, as long as the support is strong enough, the height is not a big problem.
In order to save materials in later generations, they will try to reduce the volume of the walls and columns as long as the stability conditions are met. However, the cement production in Neverwinter City is already in excess, so it is a good choice to build a concrete building.
In addition, if the structure adopts the tower-like design of multiple podiums, although it will occupy a part of the extra land, it can greatly enhance the stability of the structure and reduce the difficulty of construction.
As the saying goes, if the structure is unstable, add more columns, and if the level is not enough, the steel bars are not enough. As long as the foundation is solid enough, it will be difficult to collapse.
The final difficulty is the concrete pouring work, which Roland has already considered. That is to let Maggie lift the hummingbird into the air, and the hummingbird will carry the iron can to dump the concrete from the air. The efficiency is not much lower than that of the pump truck.
Carl had previous experience in building the Witch Building, which was also a concrete structure, but this time it was just a little bigger. Moreover, the bamboo tendons and iron wires will be replaced with real steel bars by then, and with the technical support of the Witch Union, he is full of confidence in this.

"It's time, everyone, put down your pens," Scroll knocked on the table and said.
"Huh..." Evelyn let out a long sigh of relief, so, coming to Border Town... No, the second semester in Neverwinter is over. During this year, she finally caught up with everyone's learning progress and participated in the final exam together.
She put away the charcoal and looked at the people around her. Anna still didn't attend. Listening to what Sister Wendy said, she had reached a mysterious and mysterious realm. Ordinary people would only feel dizzy when they saw her books. His brain was swollen and he was sleepy, as if he had exhausted all the magic power in his body.
Candlelight was also looking at herself. When the eyes of the two met, she also gave a thumbs up, it seemed that she did well in the test.
Nightingale, who was sitting at the end, still had a gloomy expression on her face. Since the reading and writing tests were gone, her grades had plummeted, which puzzled Evelyn. As far as she knew, the other party came from a noble family, and received education earlier than most people, so he wouldn't be so hard at learning. After thinking about it, he could only think that it was because Nightingale's ability was too important, and he was busy all day. Dealing with things for His Majesty, thus delaying study.
After all, the other party is a battle witch who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Ashes.
Others have mixed feelings, such as Agatha, Lucia and Lily in the first echelon, who can always easily get high scores, learning seems to be an innate ability for them, especially Miss Agatha. , At present, there is a tendency to move closer to Anna and Tilly, and she is also a battle witch, which makes Evelynn feel very envious.
And the last few people can guess it by looking at the expressions. If there is no accident, it will basically be handled by Honey, Hummingbird, and Echo.
Of course, this does not include Bai Zhi and A Xia, who are new to the alliance, and they still haven't kept up with the progress. For the time being, they can only be taught by Teacher Scroll alone.
But what excited Evelyn the most was that Maisie looked at the dumb girl, and she couldn't help but want to laugh.
There are no multiple-choice questions on this exam!
Ever since the last final test results came out, Evelyn has been brooding. She thought that the goal she had set was very realistic.
For this reason, she also looked for the book to see if she had miscalculated the score, but found that the correct rate of the other party's multiple-choice questions was surprisingly high, and she was undisputedly defeated.
For the next year, Evelyn devoted most of her off time to her studies.
Her abilities are very quick to use. She usually only needs to go to the winery two or three times a week, and she can cast all the magic power in less than half an hour each time. Even if she opens a bar later, it doesn't take too much time.
She had never played with the poker trio once, and in her spare time bartending, she would always open this workbook to reinforce what she had learned in the evening. Even if she even collects her favorite perfumes, she has restrained a lot. Only when new scents are put on the shelves, Evelyn will visit the convenience market by candlelight, in order to achieve her goals.
And this time, she won!
