Chapter 262 The bridge across the Redwater River

A week later, Roland officially started the great steel-bridge construction project

“You mean, I should raise two lands in the middle of the river, which will act as the foothold of the bridge pier?” Lotus looked at the surging river and asked in ae, rather than a pontoon bridge to connect both sides of the river?”

“Yes,” Roland spread out the scroll he held in his hand, “Taking into account the impact of the river current, it is necessary for the two pieces of land to have a certain volume They also need to be constructed in this way to reduce the force of the impact”

“This… looks like a shi+p,” Lotus let her vieander across the blueprint

“That’s right, speaking accurately it’s called the spindle type,” he nodded, “As long as they are built parallel to the direction of the flow, the impact it receives from the front will be reduced to the smallest amount possible The problem is that the Redwater River is nearly ten meters deep, will you still be able to make the earth rise?”

“This shouldn’t be hard to do, Your Highness,” Lotus siive it to me”

To be safe, the shi+p responsible for carrying the witch was Little Town, standing on thein the river was like standing on land It was still Lightning who took over the position of the hel the wind

But during the last week, it seeht, see a bit unco around with her head held up, looking as if she was back to her usual self again And finally, when she went past hi a soft “thank you”

“This is soale whispered into his ear fro

The Little Town soon left the pier, driving to the center of the wide river Carter had already pulled a hemp rope across the river, there were two red cloth belts tied to it which marked the location for the piers After the cement boat arrived at the site of the first pier, Lotus went to the shi+p’s railing and began to put her ability to use

Looking at the river, its surface suddenly rese up one bubble after the other, while slowly forae and silt began to rise fro all of the water muddy

So, that’s hoorks, Roland thought Her ability could not only transform a solid surface, but also water Furtherravel was Even though the surging river was i it away, but by now the river bed had already been lifted up a little

Not long after, a gray mass of mud appeared on the water surface It seeave off a very unpleasant odor,it impossible for all those present to not cover their noses

However, in Roland’s eyes, this gray mass was the best kind of fertilizer The soil contained hundreds of years of fish and other aquatic bones, aquatic plants, as well as the inhabitants of the depths’ excrement If the transport wasn’t too inconvenient, Roland would like to gather all of this soil and use it as fertilizer Unfortunately, at present, it could only be collected by hand through directly entering the river water

So, after clearing up the fertilizer layers and i the section, he finally saw the yellon solid earth he had waiting for The following steps were to repeat the process again and again until the two pieces of land had been fully formed

Roland expected that this course of event would at least continue for around one week, but even after the soil was lifted up and broke through the water surface, it didn’t mean that the land could be used The flow of the river would unceasingly carry away the silt, and without further protection, even if the piers were forn, they wouldn’t be able to persevere for longer than ten years

Trying to come to a conclusion, Roland called Karl van Bate to his side, took out a piece of charcoal, and began to paint the steps needed to solidify the ground

“Is your idea to dig holes into the soil and fill them up with cement?” This newly pro the drawing
