Magic Industry Empire - 459. Chapter 459 Reinforced Concrete City Wall

Regardless of the angle of view, Princess Caroline has nothing to do with adjectives such as greed and cruelty. However, when Xu also led the motorcade to Severville, he saw this with a warm smile next to the Earl of Summer, beautiful and beautiful. The smile on her face became a bit embarrassing in an instant after her top beauty.

“Hey, dear President Xu, you are finally here.” Princess Caroline smiled brighter when he saw Xu Yi, and first greeted Xu Yi. “I have been waiting for you all this time.”

Xu Yi calmed down for a moment because he was slightly moved because he remembered what happened before, and smiled: “Have the princess wait for a long time. However, it is a big event to build a production base in Sever City, and we must make all preparations in advance. It takes time to get started.”

“Of course I understand.” Princess Caroline gave Xu Yi a charmingly white look. “It’s just that I’m worried, I want to see you again.”

Seeing the big smile on Count Summer’s face on the side, Xu Yi coughed, nodded, and turned to Count Summer and said, “Sir, how are your preparations?”

Count Summer smiled slightly: “What? It’s only been more than a year, don’t you believe in my ability to do things?”

Xu Yi waved his hand quickly: “How dare you. It’s just that I want to know the specific situation so that I can arrange the construction as soon as possible.”

“Don’t be busy for a while.” Earl Summer looked over Xu Yi and landed on the long line of magic locomotives behind Xu Yi, nodding in satisfaction. “You just came today, take a break, and discuss work tomorrow. Also, Princess Caroline came here to wait for you a full week in advance. I must have a lot to say to you.”

Seeing the seductive sweet smile on the face of Princess Caroline, Xu Yiqiang resisted the urge to roll his eyes to Count Summer, and turned around to greet the team members to enter the city together.

Compared to Batrou City, which is much smaller and older than Bonta City, Sever City, which ranks first in the Northeast Province, is obviously much larger.

Among other things, the walls of Sever City are twice as high as Batrou City, and are much higher than Bangta City, and the thickness is even more amazing. When passing through the gates, Xu Yi After observation, the city wall near the city gate is actually more than five meters thick. Although it is impossible to be as thick as the city gate in other places, it is definitely much thicker than the city wall made of only three layers of bricks in Bangta City. .

Seeing that Xu was also looking at the city wall, the Earl of Summer who followed him into the city smiled and said: “After all, Sever City is close to the northern border and must guard against the Kingdom of Sark at any time, so it should be thicker.”

Xu Yi nodded, but immediately thought of a question.

“Speaking of being close to the border, Bangta City is actually only more than 100 kilometers away from the southern border of the kingdom. Why has the city wall never been thickened?”

“Because the Ruelson Kingdom is an old friend of our Lampari Kingdom. Since the establishment of the Lampari Kingdom, the Ruelson Kingdom has always been our loyal ally. It has never betrayed and naturally does not need to be too defensive.” Count Summer explained.

Xu Yi nodded slightly, but felt somewhat disapproving in his heart.

Although historically speaking, the Kingdom of Ruelson has always been an ally of the Kingdom of Lampari, but there are only interests between countries, and old friends are not reliable.

In Xu Yi’s opinion, the reason why Bangta City did not choose to reinforce the walls was mostly because there was no money.

The Lampari Kingdom’s finances were not abundant. In addition to ensuring the operation of the kingdom, most of the limited financial resources were invested in the defense of the Sac Kingdom. Naturally, there was no extra money to invest in other defenses.

Even if Bangta City can be considered very rich now, in the urban renovation project that Xu Yi and Earl Summer did at the time, he never considered the renovation of the city wall.

Xu Yi came from the earth and never thought about the need to widen and thicken the wall to resist the enemy, but Earl Summer chose to ignore it because of inertia.

“Actually, the walls of your Bangta city are much higher and thicker than those of many cities in the Duchy of Drake.” Princess Caroline, who was walking on the other side of Xu Yi, sighed quietly and looked at it. Take a look at the walls of the city of Sewell. “As for the thick walls like here, I’m afraid that we can’t find the same in all the cities in the Duchy of Drake.”

Xu Yi glanced at her, thinking that the reason why your Principality of Drake could survive the gap between the Principality of Drake and the Kingdom of Lampari was not relying on the walls.

With a move in his heart, Xu Yi said to Princess Caroline: “His Royal Highness, if you have an idea about transforming the city wall, I have a very good plan here. As long as the city wall is transformed according to this plan, I can guarantee that, Unless it is a magician at the level of a magister, there will never be a problem with the city wall.”

Princess Caroline and Count Summer were both surprised, and asked at the same time: “Really? What wall is this?”

Xu Yi smiled slightly and turned and pointed to the road connecting Sever City outside the city gate.

“His Royal Highness, Lord City Lord, presumably you all know that highways are mainly paved with concrete. You should have an understanding of the strength of concrete now?”

County Lord Caroline shook his head: “I have experienced the convenience of roads in your Lampari Kingdom. As for how the roads were paved, it is not very clear.”

“His Royal Highness, if your Duchy of Drake wants to develop, then my first suggestion to you is to build roads.” Xu Yi said in a stern tone. “Only by solving road traffic problems and ensuring smooth and convenient transportation can the economy develop more easily.”

“Well, when I went to Bangta City last time, I saw that there were countless carriages shuttled back and forth on the roads between Bangta City and several cities around Bangta City. I was shocked by this spectacular scene. If our Principality of Drake also becomes like this at any time, it means that our Principality has developed.” Princess Caroline said with emotion.

“There must be this day.” Xu Yidao.

“Thank you.” Princess Caroline smiled sweetly at Xu Yi. “But President Xu, we seem to have taken the topic away. Let me first tell me what the wall you want to talk about is indestructible even by the Great Mage, right?”

Xu Yi did not answer this question immediately, but turned to Earl Summers and asked: “My lord, do you have any impression of the reinforced concrete structure used in the sandy river bank reconstruction project?”

Count Summer’s eyes lit up: “Of course there is an impression. What do you mean is… Use that kind of structure to cast the wall? But can that kind of structure support the wall so high?”

“Of course.” Xu Yi nodded. “In theory, as long as there is enough steel and cement, the reinforced concrete structure can even be erected to the sky.”

Princess Caroline looked up at the sky of Sever City, and smiled: “President Xu, are you bragging? How could it be so high.”

“Don’t believe it?” Xu Yi smiled, thinking that if you see those hundreds of meters high skyscrapers on the earth that are soaring into the sky, you might not believe your eyes.

And in fact, under Xu Yi’s suggestion, President Cruise is leading the Amli Chamber of Commerce to conduct corresponding experiments. Really high-rise buildings of architectural standards.

“Well, that’s only theoretical. But since Xu Yi said that, I want to use this structure to assume that a sufficiently high wall should be fine.” Count Summer nodded. “But there is a very important question, what is the cost of this kind of city wall?”

Upon hearing this question, Princess Caroline also stared at Xu Yi without blinking, her eyes full of concern.

“My Lord, if you build such a wall, what is the average cost of 100 meters?” Xu Yi pointed to the city wall of Severville, which had been thrown away, without answering a rhetorical question.

“Serwell City’s words…” Count Summer pondered for a moment and replied: “Aside from labor, the cost is probably between 30,000 and 50,000 gold coins per hundred meters.”

“So much?” Xu Yi was taken aback.

On the contrary, Princess Caroline looked at Xu Yi inexplicably: “Is this more?”

“Of course more.” Xu Yi said immediately. “It costs 30,000 to 50,000 gold coins for one hundred meters. Then all the walls of Severville must be at least 10 kilometers long. Isn’t that three to five million gold coins? Isn’t that too much?”

“No, the total cost of the walls of Sever City was about six million gold coins, because you haven’t counted the gates and the arrow towers on the walls.” Count Summer added. “Xu Yi, do you think the cost is too high, then the cost per hundred meters of the reinforced concrete wall you mentioned will be much less?”

Seeing Princess Caroline’s disbelief but extremely expectant expression, Xu Yi smiled slightly: “Of course. The main body of the reinforced concrete structure is steel, and the cost of concrete is much less. According to current estimates. If you build a reinforced concrete wall that is three meters thick, five meters high, and 100 meters long, the total price should not exceed 10,000 gold coins.”

“So cheap?” Earl Summer and County Lord Caroline both looked unbelieving.

But after a while, the two changed their expressions of surprise.

Because both of them knew very well, Xu Yi would never make this kind of joke with them about this kind of thing.

Princess Caroline blinked her big eyes and asked, “Chairman Xu, do you have to buy all the reinforced concrete you mentioned from your new flying business association?”

Xu Yi smiled: “Otherwise, what do you think I am doing so hard to promote the reinforced concrete wall?”

Princess Caroline glanced at Xu Yi and hummed softly: “But you can’t let us go all the way to Bangta City to buy, right?”

“You are right, so after our Chamber of Commerce came to Sever City, the first to build was the cement plant, and then the steel plant.”
