But rather than giving hi woman placed her head on his chest and took a deep breath as if she wanted to iht of pushi+ng her away, instead opened his ar her for a very long time

After lunch, Roland rushed to the bathroom to take a cold shower and afterward threw himself back into work
He had called Karl van Bate over, spread a detailed map of Border Town out on the table, then pointed to a position along the Redwater River, “I want you to construct a bridge here”
“Not a pontoon bridge?” After pondering about it for a while, Karl opened hisoutspoken, but at this place the Redwater River is already close to 100e will be al an arch bridge, at most it would only cross one-third of the needed distance Furthermore, the Redwater River’s water flow rate is so enore-pier for a very long time, even if we used stakes the size of a person, it would still be washed away after a tie, it is ie across the entire river”
“This won’t be a stone bridge You will be building a steel bridge,” Roland answered, “Altogether it will have three spans to cross the river However, the ed piers will be handled by the witches You only need to get the position of the bridgeheads ready in advance Construct a slope on both ends of the bridge, so that the whole bridge is raised to such an extent that a river boat can pass it without having its e”
“Won’t that be a bridge which reaches into the sky?” Karl asked surprised
“It will be enough if those parts of the bridge are 6 to 7 round,” Roland said as he quickly sketched the schee “In order to quickly open up the south bank, as well as construct the docks, thereshi+ps on the river Even though a pontoon bridge is very si the river channel,it unfavorable for future development”
The expedition of the First Arht Roland a lot of information Currently, within the borders of Graycastle, the river would open the roads in all directions, and the otherriver In the case that he carried out any further dom’s borders, he would then have to possess several heavy river gunboats With theh firepower to use when besieging cities or conquering territory
After all, the caliber used for the fareater than as used by the field artillery And if he wanted to build more vessels, he would first need to build a dock, and due to this, the steel bridge plan had co
“But I don’t possess any sies…” Karl seemed to somewhat hesitate
“Me neither,” Roland o through the project slowly It won’t be a problee at the shore, and afterward, moves it over to the Redwater River” With this Roland incidentally also introduced the other side to the concept of using prefabricated components which could later be transported to the construction site, “Just like during the construction of the water towers, as Huht, and your student Anna helped with asseain like that, the project shouldn’t be too difficult”
“I’ll obey… your order Your Royal Highness,” he nodded
“Apart from this, there is also another treive you,” the prince er to the castle area, “I intend to expand the size of the backyard I want it to contain all of the surrounding high grounds, and at the same time you should construct a three-story house here”
If everything ell, next month Tilly’s five witches would arrive in Border Town, however, the castle no longer possessed any extra rooh the rooms could temporarily be turned into three person rooms, the number of witches would only continue to increase with tis to re environment with all kinds of novelty and cozy experiences, was also a part of his strategy for convincing them to stay No matter if they were people froal environarcoated-bullet ood and easy life will always make people addicted’
“A three-story… brick house?”
“Not an entirely brick house,” Roland smiled, “The correct name to call it with should be brick-concrete structure; the pillars, and beams of the house are all made out of reinforced concrete, similar to bones within a human body A structure like this will allow us to build houses which are even higher, increasing it to a four or five story building wouldn’t be a problem either”
“Reinforced… concrete?” Karl replied confused?
“It is aof cement, sand, and stone and reinforced with steel bars implanted into it,” Roland explained “Of course, the precise aredient will need to be strictly tested, but in case the project is successful, it will even be stronger than natural limestone”
However, this was only theoretical, such a product would have a very broad range of quality, that was siht in rural areas and the ce stations were entirely different things And the sa bars… So in the rural areas, when they built their houses themselves, they wouldn’t even use pebbles or use thin ba bars When Roland had gone to the countryside, he had witnessed the whole building process of several of these “county estates”
And now he also intended on doing it himself, after all, it would just be a three-story house, no matter how much they skimped on the job and stinted the materials, it would still be difficult for it to collapse
In addition, he hoped that the witch’s residential building project would let Karl grasp the concept of it and let hi ineered stone As for its achieves made out of reinforced concrete occupied nearly half of the country However, Roland wasn’t proficient in architecture, everything he kneas only superficial knowledge he learned during his ti theit hiht approach
“Uh… will you also let me slowly explore it by myself? Karl finally asked
“No,” Roland s I can teach you”
