Gou is a dark elf in Warhammer
Chapter 708 559 High-level Pastry Chef
The area in the south near the Great Temple of Matheran is definitely not suitable for docking the Black Ark. The size of a Black Ark is as large as the entire temple area. Whether from the perspective of practical function or visual priority, the pier for docking the Black Ark cannot be built there. However, the Black Ark still needs to dock there. After all, the Black Ark's transportation capacity is there, so he can only expand to the north with the south as the base point.
"Here?" Daxus, who had thought of something, suddenly looked at Serene who was looking at the sand table intently and asked.
In order to cope with future needs, or perhaps inspired by Modax's outfit, Serenie, who came to the New World, no longer wore a robe and wrapped herself tightly like she did in Athel Loren, but changed her outfit.
The armor presents a mysterious and gorgeous marine theme, giving Dacus a feeling of being connected to the sea, as if the waves extend from the armor, with a strong sacred atmosphere. The armor's tone is mainly cold, mixed with blue, turquoise and gold embellishments, creating a strong water element atmosphere.
The design of the helmet is particularly eye-catching. The golden trident on the forehead is like a wave surging upward, symbolizing the power and instability of the ocean. The lapis lazuli at the junction of the trident is like a dazzling presence. There is a circle of turquoise ear protection decoration on both sides of the helmet, showing the shape of bionic fish fins, further strengthening the elements of marine life.
This helmet is not only decorative, but also symbolizes the connection with Marselan, the sea, deep-sea creatures, and more.
The shoulder armor is like a sharp shell, with sharp spikes extending out, just like the corals and reefs on the seabed, which is both decorative and threatening. On the neck hangs a redesigned pearl necklace, which is worn in an inverted triangle shape. Of course, this pearl necklace is not important. What is important is the fish-shaped pendant above the groove that cannot be described in detail: the Matheran Amulet.
The presence of the necklace and amulet further demonstrates her nobility and mystery.
Since the Matheran Amulet is almost at the ditch, the design of the chest armor must be relatively open. Except for the middle and lower hemispheres, the rest of the torso is exposed, but the chest also strengthens the sense of defense like the shoulder armor. There is also a set of inverted triangle lapis lazuli pendants hanging on the abdomen at the connection between the two hemispheres. The middle lapis lazuli is the largest, and the four symmetrical ones gradually become smaller. There are three smaller lapis lazuli below the middle lapis lazuli, and the last one just covers the navel.
The fish scale pattern on the waist and leg armor is highly consistent with the overall marine theme. The leg armor protects her lower limbs while maintaining a smooth curve, symbolizing the flexibility and strength of the ocean. There is a unique seahorse-shaped decoration in the center of the waist, symbolizing the protection of marine life and adding to her mysterious identity.
The hem of the entire armor is flowing like waves, and the blue-purple fabric on the back flows like sea water as she moves, giving her an elegant and dominant posture. This set of armor not only symbolizes the power and mystery of the ocean, but also shows Serenie's mastery of details, perfectly combining the power of elf women with ocean elements.
But Daxus believed that this was because Serene let herself go after arriving in the New World, rather than being inspired by future needs or Modax's outfit.
"Lighthouse!" Knowing what Daxus was asking, Serene smiled.
"The Order is responsible." Dacus nodded and assigned the task. It was no problem to ask Master Xia to change the terrain. It was no problem to fill the sea and create land out of thin air. This was the most difficult thing in the entire project, but for Shi Lan, it was just a matter of waving his hands. However, Shi Lan was not responsible for the specific construction of the building. In addition to losing face, this was not within Shi Lan's job scope.
The Storm Weaver Cult is currently an empty shell, without manpower, and needs coordination. Therefore, the believers must be mobilized to let the Matheran believers express their opinions. Anyway, there is still some time before returning to Naggaroth, and they are free anyway. He looked at the admirals and captains.
When Dacus's sweep went out, the atmosphere in the air became tense. Every admiral and captain realized that this was an extremely important mission. Although it was at their own expense, whoever could take on this mission would enjoy higher prestige, glory, topics of conversation, and voice in the future.
However, just as the admirals were about to step forward, Durias was one step faster than them. He straightened his back, met Daquus' gaze, and had a confident smile on his face.
"The Hell's Disaster Family is willing to undertake this project. The Hell's Disaster Family not only has rich experience in sailing and exploration at sea, but also has deep accumulation in shipbuilding and coastal engineering. The lighthouse is a symbol of guiding the route. If this task is given to us, it will definitely be completed perfectly!" Durias' voice was steady and powerful, full of determination and confidence.
Before Dulias finished speaking, the admirals and captains around him looked at him sideways, their dissatisfaction spreading from themselves to the air. They knew that the Hell's Disaster Family had the strength, but this greedy look... However, they couldn't say anything, after all, Dacus was there, and Dacus's last name was Hell's Disaster.
Daxus did not answer immediately. He just narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the sand table. In fact, he was not planning to build a lighthouse. He wanted to build a landmark like the Statue of Liberty to get his wish at one go.
In this way, when tourists arrive at Chapeiuto by cruise ship, they will see the landmark on the island at first sight. Then, under the guidance of the extradition, the cruise ship will dock next to the temple area. The whole process will be like the shocking feeling of immigrants who came to the New World when they first saw their new hometown.
Perhaps, the lighthouse could be built in the shape of a Matheran, and the trident held high could then serve as a lighthouse? But this idea only lasted for a moment, and he felt that it was a bit confusing. What was the point of the statue in the Matheran Great Temple?
"What do you think?" After thinking for a while, he handed the decision to Serene.
"The construction of the lighthouse is left to you, but remember, this is not just a simple project, it is related to our future. The lighthouse must be strong enough, tall enough, and dazzling enough to stand the test of the most violent storms and guide all the followers of Matheran to return home safely." Serenie, who was standing next to her, still kept smiling, as if she had already known all this.
"Daughter of the Sea, please rest assured that our Hell Disaster Family will do our best and will never let you down." Durias bowed deeply, with the confidence and pride on his face becoming even more profound.
What does it mean to enjoy the shade under a big tree? This is it.
The Hellbane and the Fallen Heart, which are non-mainstream families in Naggaroth, have been discussed by the Duruchi nobles who have fought alone and relied on themselves. The discussion is mainly based on contempt, but more of it is sour. However, it is really useful at the critical moment. When the admirals calculated whether their own wealth could afford this project, the project was directly abandoned.
Among the admirals, Locksia had the most complicated emotions. His family was now firmly tied to Dacus. The days in Lustria and the mysterious journey that made him completely confused gave him a deeper understanding of Dacus. Next time, he would never go on an adventure with Dacus. If possible, he even wanted to go back in time and give him a heavy punch in the face when he stood up at that time.
He also wanted to undertake this project to bring honor to himself and his family. He knew too well the importance of Chapeyuto to the entire Duruchi. He was not worried about wealth, because he knew that as long as he firmly followed Dacus, there would be a steady stream of wealth.
But his reaction just now was indeed a step slower, perhaps because of the impact of the last time. When he took half a step forward, Dulias had already finished speaking. This lesson taught him experience, and next time, no matter what project it was, he would be the first to step forward. Even if the family's wealth was not enough, he would borrow money to force it.
However, Daxus had no intention of distributing the project next. Everything that happened just now seemed to be unintentional, and it ended after it started.
"This area... will be used as a bulk cargo terminal. The dock on the north side of the temple area will be renovated. When everything is finished, this place..." He pointed to the north of the temple area on the sand table and instructed Watt. After that, he looked up at the admirals and captains and made a pie-in-the-sky move. "It will become the place where tourists disembark. In the future, elven tourists from Ulthuan and Elsin Alvin will disembark here! Yes, tourism, tourists! Can you imagine the scene of you coming to Chapeiuto as a tourist? Imagine seeing the bustling streets, beautiful scenery, and peculiar buildings. What a shock that would be!?"
As soon as Dacus finished speaking, the whole hall erupted in discussion. The admirals and captains looked at each other, clearly shocked by the future vision Dacus described. They originally thought that this meeting was only about the current engineering projects and the cults that were closely related to their interests, but they did not expect that Dacus's vision had gone far beyond the current tasks and looked forward to the overall situation hundreds of years in the future.
"Visitors from Ulthuan and Elsin Arwen?" Hadris murmured in a low voice, frowning as he pondered the grand plan described by Dacreus.
Analyzing the information and keywords in the speech is a necessary skill for every Druki nobleman. Only in this way can you judge whether the other party is telling the truth or sweet poison. Only in this way can you find opportunities to stand firm and gain benefits in the next game.
But the information density in this passage is too great. Dacus did not mention Nagaros. He did not think that Dacus had a bad memory and forgot, but that when the tourists appeared, Duruchi was no longer in Nagaros.
If... If... Various information and images surged in his mind, and then he looked at the noble area behind the temple area. He realized that Chapeyuto and even the entire Aishriel were very important to Dax. It was much more important than he had imagined before. Yes, based on the relationship between Dax and the Lizardmen that he saw, Aishriel must also be very important.
This information was very important to him, very important, he knew how his family rose to power, and what Dacus had done in the process. He knew where Hag Graves would be in the future, and investing there was doomed to fail.
When he got this information, he knew that he and his family should make an additional investment in Aishriel in addition to the next fixed investment. This would not only express support for Dacus, but also allow the family to obtain rich benefits in the future.
Daxus looked at the admirals and captains who were thinking and smiled with satisfaction. He had only mentioned these visions and plans for the future to people around him very rarely. After all, all this was too far away and vague. There was no definite news about King's Landing in Ulthuan yet, but the tourism was already planned. This was the first time he shared his vision for the future with the Duruchis, but the reactions of the admirals and captains made him very satisfied.
He knew that what he had just said had ignited the ambition and passion in the hearts of the admirals and captains.
"Matheran, what a bold idea! This kind of scene is something I have never imagined. They are not just merchants or adventurers, but pure travelers who come to enjoy the unique scenery here." Drex, who returned not long ago and did not catch up with the Battle of Zahuitak, could not help but exclaimed loudly after thinking about it.
"Moreover, it's not just about maritime transport. If we can build such a port and develop tourism, the benefits will far exceed the cargo volume! Tourists will bring endless resources." A young captain said with sparkling eyes. But after he finished speaking, he realized that he had said the wrong thing. He shouldn't have mentioned the importance of the dock and attracted the attention of other admirals and captains.
The words of the young captain and Drex were like the opening of a curtain. For a moment, the admirals and captains kept scanning the sand table eagerly, while speaking irrelevant flattering words. Some even looked beyond the sand table and cast their eyes on the whole of Asheril, constantly recalling the investment proposal they saw in Clar Karond, and thinking about what would happen after King's Landing in Ulthuan.
Facing the flattery of the admirals and captains, Dacus seemed very calm, everything was in his plan. While planning Chapeuto, he was also boiling frogs in warm water and making some cakes. So he made this drama, and the real massage hidden deep inside was the Drucci naval reform.
The prospects have been seen, the benefits have been distributed, if you still don't know what's good for you, it would be a bit of a disrespect. This is no longer an ordinary Duruchi, you must strike hard, you must smash the cup as a signal, and kill three million swordsmen from both sides.
After deciding not to allow labor dispatch to fill Asherel, it will become inevitable to let elves fill Asherel. In this case, just be straightforward. In the words of a certain director: Isn’t it bold?
The only regret is that the bulk cargo terminal has been drawn, but Drucci does not have a matching dry bulk carrier now. "Road, railway, yard, road, railway, warehouse, dock front operating zone, this system is the loading and unloading operating zone." After calmly drawing on the sand table, Dacus pointed to Walter. After seeing Walter record it, he continued, "The operating zone is divided into loading and unloading operating zone and auxiliary operating zone.
The loading and unloading operation area is arranged with the front-end operation area of the wharf for the operation of loading and unloading and transportation machinery, warehouse yards and collection and distribution facilities. The auxiliary operation area is arranged with various mobile machinery warehouses, tool warehouses, machine repair shops, fire stations, material warehouses, operation area office buildings and other facilities. In addition, the most important thing is to reserve land for development. "
After seeing Walter nodding and taking notes, he turned his gaze to Master Xia. There was nothing wrong with letting Walter be responsible for what he had just said.
He was the one who gave orders, and he was the kind who could do it without any pain. If the content this time was not too beyond the scope of the elves, he would not have bothered to assign specific tasks. But there was no other way, so he could only stand up and set an example for the elves and the Skinks, telling them how to build the port, how to modify the port of Naggaroth, and how to build subsequent ports to meet the needs of King's Landing Ulthuan.
He made a clear distinction, and it had always been so. There was no problem in letting the cult and the admiral contract the island and the lighthouse, but the port was not within that scope. It was an urban construction project, and it was Walter's job.
However, there are some jobs that Walter can't do.
Determining the size of a wharf is a science, which requires the shoreline energy method to estimate the number of berths, the berth capacity method to estimate the number of berths, and the number of berths occupied by the wharf. Behind these words are huge amounts of data and formulas, which require mathematical calculations and the appearance of Master Xia, a construction worker.
There are many different types of dock layouts, including shore-side layout, pier layout, excavated layout, layout along the inside of the breakwater, island layout and pier layout.
He did not consider the shore-based layout, which was very common and suitable for small ports with more coastlines and limited water width. It was a common layout for estuary ports, and the Lizardmen's canal ports required this layout.
He adopted a jetty layout, which looks like an outstretched finger with ships parked on both sides of the finger. The advantage of this layout is that more berths can be built, saving natural coastline, making the construction layout of the entire port area compact and convenient for centralized management. Because the bulk cargo terminal uses pipelines or other continuous input systems for transportation, the terminal and warehouse can be kept at a long distance.
He was ready to go all the way and replace the narrow jetty with a wide jetty, which would provide an area for warehouses, thus meeting the needs of small boats now and providing a large number of berths for small boats, as well as meeting the needs of large ships in the future.
After looking at Master Xia, he did not point at his head for telepathy, nor did he say anything. Instead, he drew the wide pier, railway, yard and warehouse on the sand table.
"In the future, we will have giant steel ships with a load capacity of 10,000 tons or even 100,000 tons. The ships will enter the port and anchor next to the wide jetty. The railway system will transport bulk goods such as grain to the warehouse. There will be a pipeline connection between the warehouse and the ship, and a steady stream of grain will be loaded into the ship's hold through the pipeline.
Imagine that in one afternoon, the ship will go from being an empty ship to a ship full of grain... wealth. You also know that there are very few black arks, and it is very troublesome to build them, and it takes a lot of time, but this kind of 10,000-ton ship is easy to build after the technology reaches the standard. You know me, I won't joke about this kind of thing. One will be built within ten years, and not just one at a time, but multiple ships will be started at the same time!
It's not easy to become an admiral, but it's easy to become a captain... So?" After finishing the painting, he looked at the admirals and captains, and then he spread his hands.
What he said was very suggestive. It is not easy to become an admiral. One's own ability is only one part of it. There are also wealth, political games, etc. In addition, there are only so many black arks, and they are all limited. But ships are different. The demand for ships in the future for Duruchi and even the entire elves is almost unlimited. If you can't be an admiral, you can always be a captain. If you follow the family tradition, you can always be a captain. If you don't follow the family tradition, you also need it. The ship itself is a symbol of wealth. The ship is yours, and you can hire a captain if you really can't do it.
Just as he thought, after hearing his words, Loxia's eyes behind the mask lit up. Loxia knew what the ship represented, and he also thought of the large family he needed to support...
When the admiral and the captains were discussing and imagining, he looked at Master Xia and stretched out a finger representing 10,000 tons. When Master Xia nodded, he also nodded, and the bulk cargo terminal area was done. He knew nothing about mathematics and calculations, but he knew what an anchor point was. As long as he gave the future anchor point, Master Xia could calculate the scale of the dock that needed to be built. As for the current anchor point, the ships parked at the dock were it.
Now that the framework has been set, the specific construction content will be left to Watt to fill in. Finally, the Ministry of Industry led by Colonia will complete the last link, which is various mechanical equipment.
After the goods are transported into the bulk cargo terminal by rail, there are three processes: unloading operation, yard operation and loading operation. The specific process is train-unloader-belt conveyor-stacker-yard-reclaimer-belt conveyor-loader, and finally the ship.
A belt conveyor is easy to understand. It is a belt rolling device, just like the machine you see when you pick up your luggage after getting off a plane.
Ship loaders are easy to understand. They are large-scale bulk material machinery used for loading ships at bulk cargo terminals. They are composed of a boom belt conveyor, a transition belt conveyor, a telescopic chute, a tail car, a traveling device, a gantry, a tower, a pitch device, a slewing device, etc.
A car unloader is also called a car tipper. It is a large-scale mechanical equipment used to unload bulk materials from railway open cars. It is a loading and unloading machine that turns or tilts rail vehicles to unload materials. It is divided into rotary drum type, side unloading type, end unloading type and compound type.
Conveyors and ship loaders are too much for today. In the words of General Fan: Do we have the capability? No, Drucci really doesn't have it at the moment, especially ship loaders. In addition, these equipments are not needed now. The production, transportation capacity and requirements are not available. Unlike Chapeuto's one-step approach, these equipments are forced into operation, which is like giving a newborn baby a big rice bowl.
But the car unloader is really needed, and it is urgently needed. The car unloader is an essential part of the railway system. Not only Chapeyuto needs it, but Nagaros also needs it.
The iron ore and coal from Hag Gravela to Nagarond need to be unloaded by car unloaders. In the future, when the Nagarond-Hag Gravela-Clarkarond-Anaheim railway line is completed, car unloaders will also be needed in large quantities.
However, Dacus assigned this task to Colonia when he was at sea. Colonia said that there was no problem in building such equipment, it was very simple. The only difficulty at present lies in the power drive system, which requires a winch and manpower.
This is just the loading process. There is also unloading, and there are also steps for yard and bulk grain loading and unloading, but these are not what we should consider at the moment. Giant gantry cranes and containers are not considered either. This is still the era of sailing ships, and the height of the mast is there. How high can a giant gantry crane be? It requires complex technology, and the driving method is also a big problem. The giant gantry crane is the jewel in the crown of industry, and its gold content is there.
Mast cranes are easy to make, but they also require power equipment to drive them. That can't be done by manpower and winches alone, so an ankylosaur is needed.
Perhaps the only thing that can meet and is suitable for current needs is a small hydraulic crane, but there are only sketches of high-precision rotary cutting lathes and milling machines, and no real objects yet. I don't know how Colonia and the Val priests are doing in the Lens City.
Containers are a magical tool that has changed ocean transportation, but the steel production in Druch is not enough now... and the materials produced by Aishriel are all bulk goods and piece goods. Piece goods are divided into packaged goods and bare goods. Packaged goods are goods that can be packaged and transported in bags, boxes, etc., while bare goods are goods that are not packaged or cannot be packaged. Cotton, rubber, leather products, bagged grain, daily necessities, etc. are all piece goods.
Bulk cargo doesn't need containers. Breakbulk cargo needs containers, but it doesn't need them either. After all, breakbulk cargo has been on the sea for hundreds of years before containers appeared. Containers are just the embodiment of a system. There needs to be a system behind them, including manufacturing, loading and unloading, and adapting to ships. Now Drucci has nothing. How can we put containers into the cabin of a sailboat? Uh...
The only thing that can be considered at present is the Black Ark, but placing containers in the Ark requires a large lifting device. This is not as good as a whole belt conveyor, get a frame, install a roller, and then a whole set of belts, and put a big iron key at the bottom to start the old power equipment. There is no need for a steam engine, just let the labor dispatch provide power by hand, and whip it twice if it is slow, and kick it into the sea if it still doesn't work.
If containers don’t work, then we can ship cartons by sea, but then there’s another problem. Now Drucci doesn’t even know how to make the most basic paper. He has to go back to wax boards and directly make corrugated paper. This…
Perhaps even Tzeentch would feel that this is a bit too much? After all, this job is a bit abstract. Paper is used to create knowledge, but there is no knowledge. However, there are plenty of cardboard boxes for transporting goods.
Dacus, who automatically blocked out the surrounding sounds, thought about it for a while and shook his head speechlessly. He found that planning the port was actually the easiest job now. He moved his mouth and said a few words, and Master Xia came up with it with a wave of his hand. He drew the framework, and the rest would come slowly, filling it in slowly. Anyway, the elves had plenty of time.
Just as his finger was about to fall, he suddenly froze. Did he realize that he had the talent to become a Michelin pastry chef? Although his hands did not touch the flour and water, that was what he was doing. He painted cakes for the Druccis and made cakes. Although there was no water and flour, there were cakes and cakes. What else could he be if not a pastry chef? And he was a high-level pastry chef who did not even use water and flour, but relied entirely on his mouth.
In addition to painting pie in the sky for Drucci and making cakes, his re-planning of Chapeuto was essentially kneading dough, just like the dough-kneading simulator in Anno 1800. If there was too much dough, add water. If there was too much water, add more dough. If there was more dough, add more water. When the basin could no longer hold it, get a new basin and knead it again.
However, as a senior pastry chef, he did not do this. After all, with the prefix of "senior", he no longer needed this step. He was like a master who had played for thousands of hours. If he was given an island, he would know how big the island was, where the port was built, how many docks and warehouses could be built, what the island was suitable for, and how to maximize the benefits after taking a look at the resources, terrain and area.
After giving him an anchor point, he only needs to take a glance to assess how many basins, flour and water are needed. But this is still kneading dough, but the scene is not so ugly, and it looks a little bit advanced? It's nothing else, practice makes perfect, which is somewhat similar to counting military stoves.
Although he said so, he still made a mistake during the glance. But it doesn't matter, it's still at the beeping stage and can be adjusted.
"This! This! Is used as a bulk cargo terminal. This! Is used as a military terminal and dry dock. This! Is used as a piece cargo terminal. Like the bulk cargo terminal, it is arranged with a wide jetty."
He expanded the bulk cargo terminal further north, occupying half of the entire blunt T-shape, except for the temple area. Then, he extended his fingers further from the northern end of the bulk cargo terminal, and after extending a part of it, he used this area as a military terminal. Then, his right hand stayed on the sand table, and his left hand stretched out, with five fingers spread out, signaling the surprised Druki to be silent! When the sound stopped, his left hand extended all the way to the end of the northern end of the dock area.
"I know what you are worried about. Don't worry." Dacus said with a meaningful smile.
Then, he took the stylus and started drawing on the sand table. A dot appeared not far from the northern end of the island that suddenly appeared. Then the dot extended to the north to form a straight line. After extending to a certain distance, the straight line deviated to the left several degrees and continued to extend. The straight line continued to extend and deflect.
Standing in the distance, Belloda stared at the stylus in Daquus's hand as it drew across the sand table. The line that stretched and gradually deflected was like a giant snake lurking in the deep sea. Her breathing became rapid as the line stretched. Her eyes widened instantly, and her hands unconsciously grasped her cloak. An indescribable fear and chill surged from deep in her heart. (End of this chapter)
