Be the savior from Frostpunk

Chapter 76 Burning Glass

"I repeat, I'm not joking!"

Li Jianghao sat in front of the work table of the engineering station, and the huge difference engine gears behind him were calculating non-stop, and would calculate how much resources Li Jianghao's dome plan would cost in seventeen hours.

The holy sword was then put aside, and the occasionally distracted engineer would glance at it from time to time.

Almost all spare engineers have been summoned here to carefully review the plan that their mayor came up with.

No matter how you look at it, they feel evil.

Andrew looked at the suffocated expressions of the engineers in front of him, and heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, someone could understand how he felt when he saw the various design drawings that the mayor took out.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Jianghao knocked on the table and pointed to the design drawing he had drawn on the blackboard behind him:
"Can't this thing work? You know more about engineering than I do, and there is a natural terrain wall nearby that can be used. The subsequent production of robots can be used for construction, and it doesn't take up manpower. With some time before the blizzard arrives, we can complete construction while evacuating the outpost in Tesla City."

Everyone was still silent, only Alexander leaned against the door and said with an unbelievable expression:

"Mr. Mayor, we don't doubt whether your idea of ​​covering the entire ice wall with steel can be realized. The main thing is a large-scale shaped glass cover. Even the empire in the past may not be able to make it. We It takes a lot of effort to make a glass now."

Andrew picked up the charcoal pencil and went to the blackboard, and added helplessly: "Also here, the reserved energy caliber is too large, and the output of our energy tower cannot reach this level. Even if it is all converted to electric drive, even if Coal resources are sufficient, but the number of thermal power generating units in Tesla City is not enough."

Li Jianghao said viciously with an expression that all the words he just said were in vain:
"Just leave the driving energy and the glass dome to me. You just need to be responsible for whether the existing industrial production lines can complete all kinds of buildings on the surface."

"Sir, can you create a huge glass dome with a wave of your hand?" An engineer asked tentatively.

Some of the people here have seen the mayor wielding the holy sword, and some have heard of the mayor's achievements in eliminating the corpse tide.More latecomers don't know why, they only know the rumor that their mayor is more like a wizard.

"That's not going to work. I'll have to work hard."

Li Jianghao took a deep breath, took out a few stones from the box sent by the coal mining machine, and muttered:

"Stones rich in silica. There is no sand here, otherwise it will be more convenient."

He piled these stones together, picked up the holy sword, and touched the fire element emblem on it.

He extracted a flame without temperature expression from the holy sword. The Storm God Condor driver book in his pocket had already been opened, and a ray of wind guided the stones on the table to float up, surrounded by these flames.

At first, these flames only lightly touched the surface of the stone, and then accompanied by the sound of an eagle, a burst of intense light made the people present couldn't help but close their eyes.

When they opened their eyes again, they saw the melted stone being formed under the guidance of Li Jianghao, and gradually became transparent.

A glass bowl was tapped lightly on the table, and the excess impurities were scattered on one side, blown by the wind and falling back into the box.

Li Jianghao wiped the sweat from his head, tapped the bottom of the glass bowl with his hands, made a dull sound, and said with satisfaction:

"Look, it's done. It's just a matter of building one more shearer and digging out more rocks. Just leave the rest to me."

A group of engineers with higher education and knowledge and technology looked at the scene in front of them blankly, and some even reached out and slapped their faces, trying to tell themselves that what they saw was not real.

The temperature of the glass firing process is at least above 1000°C, and they did not feel any high-temperature baking except for the obvious brightness, which also means that Li Jianghao's exquisite control of the flame.

Some engineers who were more open-minded came back to their senses and stared at Li Jianghao strangely, as if they were thinking about something.

If there is such a ready-made monster that can precisely control the temperature, then some special designs they have checked from the recovered design manuscripts will have the conditions to manufacture.

Extreme heat control is also essential to the forging and refining of metals, which means their steel can be upgraded to a better quality.

What kind of wizard is this? This is a natural smelting furnace given to them by God!
What started as a small group of whispers among the engineers turned into a public discussion, and eventually even a passionate laning match.

Li Jianghao was originally very satisfied with the engineers' reaction, but when he heard the content of their discussion, he was stunned.

These people didn't care about their own dome plan at all, but were frantically arguing about how to use their ability to control the flame temperature to create better metal materials and realize some strange designs in the design manuscript.

Some radical engineers have even made a schedule, planning which time of the day is more suitable for them to process special materials in which building.After this schedule, Li Jianghao felt that he didn't even have a rest schedule.

Fortunately, I didn't arrange extended shifts for these people, let alone emergency shifts that work 24 hours a day.

This is too chilling!

No wonder the way these people looked at me suddenly became so weird.

"Enough! Now that you have seen this ability, I will announce that the dome plan will be officially implemented from the day after tomorrow."

Li Jianghao made a final decision, but the people in front of him had become more and more noisy and intensified.

"After the dome project is completed, I will cooperate with you to make some industrial designs."

Li Jianghao slumped on the chair and said weakly.

As soon as he finished speaking, all the people turned off the fire in a proper manner, sat in their seats, and stared at Li Jianghao with a serious face.

Then he expressed his firm support for the dome project enthusiastically and fairly, as long as the mayor can give priority to assisting his scientific research direction, it would be better.

Li Jianghao, who got the result he wanted, left the engineering station. The reason why he had to convince these people in advance was that the scale of the dome project was really too big, and he needed to stabilize people's hearts.

Let these engineers fool ordinary citizens into believing that this project is not as far-fetched as it sounds.

Asking myself to explain this question directly would exhaust me to death.

Li Jianghao returned to the energy tower, looked up at the sky, his face was a little tired.

After the dome project is completed, there must be something else that can help the surviving people here, allowing them to make continuous progress in the next 60 years, instead of developing into the ghostly appearance in the border script of the game plot empire.

As the blizzard approaches, his time here is running out.
