Just being a dark elf in Warhammer

Chapter 708 559 High-level Pastry Chef (Part 1)

The area near the Great Temple of Matheran in the south cannot dock 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 dock for docking the Black Ark cannot be built there, but the Black Ark still needs to dock. After all, the Black Ark's transportation capacity is there, so he can only expand to the north from the south.

"Here?" Daquus, who was thinking about something, suddenly looked at Serene who was looking at the sand table intently and asked.

In order to cope with future needs, or inspired by the outfit of Modax, Serene, 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 Daquus a feeling of being connected to the sea, as if the waves extend from the armor, with a strong sacred atmosphere. The color tone of the armor 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 surges upward like the waves of the sea, symbolizing the power and instability of the ocean. The lapis lazuli at the junction of the trident is dazzling. There is a circle of turquoise ear protection decoration on both sides of the helmet, which presents 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 Matheran, the sea, deep-sea creatures, etc.

The shoulder armor part is like a sharp shell, extending sharp spikes, like corals and reefs on the seabed, which is both decorative and threatening. A redesigned pearl necklace is hung on the neck, which is worn in an inverted triangle. 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 existence of the necklace and amulet further demonstrates her nobility and mysterious atmosphere.

Since the Matheran Amulet is almost at the ditch, the design of the breastplate 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. In addition, there is a set of inverted triangle lapis lazuli pendants hanging on the connection between the two hemispheres on the abdomen. The lapis lazuli in the middle is the largest, and the four symmetrical ones gradually shrink. There are three smaller lapis lazuli below the lapis lazuli in the middle, and the last one just covers the navel.

The waist decoration and leg armor have fish scale patterns, which are highly consistent with the overall marine theme. The leg armor not only protects her lower limbs, but also maintains 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, adding to her mysterious identity symbol.

The hem of the entire armor is as elegant as waves, and the blue-purple fabric on the back flows like sea water with her movements, giving her an elegant and dominant posture. This set of armor not only symbolizes the power and mystery of the ocean, but also shows Serene's mastery of details, perfectly combining the power of elven women with marine elements.

But Dacus thought that this was because Serene let herself go after coming to the New World, rather than to meet future needs or inspired by Modax's outfit.

"Lighthouse!" Serene smiled, knowing what Dacus was asking.

"The cult is responsible." Dacus nodded and assigned the task. It's no problem to let Master Xia change the terrain. There is no problem at all to fill the sea and build land out of thin air. This is the most difficult thing in the whole project, but for Shilan it's just a matter of waving his hand. However, Shilan is not responsible for the specific construction of the building. In addition to losing face, this is not within Shilan's job scope at all.

The Storm Weaver Cult is currently an empty frame, without manpower, and needs coordination. Therefore, the believers must be mobilized to let the Maslan believers express their feelings. Anyway, there is still some time before returning to Naggaroth, and they are idle anyway. He looked at the admirals and captains.

When Dacus swept out, the atmosphere in the air became tense for a moment. Every admiral and captain realized that this was an extremely important task. Although it was at their own expense, whoever could take on this task would enjoy higher prestige, honor, gossip and voice in the future.

However, just as the admirals were about to stand up, Dulias was one step faster than them. He straightened his back and met Dacus's gaze with a confident smile on his face.

"The Hell Disaster Family is willing to undertake this project. The Hell Disaster Family not only has rich experience in navigation and exploration at sea, but also has deep accumulation in shipbuilding and coastal engineering. The lighthouse is a symbol of guiding the route. This task will be completed perfectly if it is given to us!" Dulias' voice was steady and powerful, full of determination and confidence.

Before Dulias finished speaking, the admirals and captains around him looked sideways, and the dissatisfaction was reflected 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 standing there, and Dacus's last name was Hell's Disaster.

Dacus didn't answer immediately, he just narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the sand table. In fact, he didn't plan to build a lighthouse, he wanted to build a landmark similar to the Statue of Liberty, to satisfy his hunger in one step.

In this way, when tourists come to Chapeiuto by cruise ship, they will see the landmark on the island at first sight. Then, the cruise ship, under the guidance of the extradition, docked next to the temple area. The whole process was like the shock of immigrants who came to the New World when they first saw their new hometown.

Perhaps, the lighthouse can be built in the shape of Matheran, and the trident held high can serve as a lighthouse? But this idea only stayed in his mind for a moment, and he felt that he was a little confused about the main and the secondary. What about the statue in the Matheran Temple?

"What do you think?" After thinking about it, he handed the decision to Serene.

"The construction of the lighthouse is up 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 in the most violent storm and guide all Matheran believers to return safely." Serene, who was standing next to him, still kept smiling, as if she had known all this for a long time.

"Daughter of the sea, please rest assured that our Hell's Disaster family will do our best and will never let you down." Dulias bowed deeply, and the confidence and pride on his face became more profound.

What is it to lean on a big tree for shade? This is it.

Hell's Disaster and Fallen Heart, which seem to be non-mainstream families in Naggaroth, have been discussed by the Duruchi dignitaries who fight alone and rely on themselves. The discussion is mainly based on contempt, but more of it is sour. But it is really useful at the critical moment. When the admirals calculated whether their own wealth could afford this project, the project was directly lost.

Among the admirals, Locksia's emotions are the most complicated. His family is now firmly bound to Dacus. The days in the Lustria continent and the mysterious journey that was completely confusing gave him a deeper understanding of Dacus. Next time, he will not go on an adventure with Dacus no matter what. If possible, he even wants to go back to the past and give him a heavy punch in the face when he stood up at that time.

He also wanted to undertake this project to make himself and his family proud. 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 great impact of the last time. When he took half a step out, Dulias had finished speaking. This lesson gave him experience. Next time, that is, next time, no matter what project, he will be the first to stand up. Even if the family's wealth is not enough, he will borrow money to force it.

However, Dacus did not have the idea of ​​distributing the project next. Everything just now seemed to be an unintentional act, and it was gone 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 over, this area..." 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 said, "It will be the place where tourists disembark. In the future, elf tourists from Ulthuan and Elsin Alvin will disembark here! Yes, tourism, tourists! Imagine the scene of you coming to Chapeiuto as a tourist? Imagine seeing the bustling streets, beautiful landscapes, and peculiar buildings. What kind of shock would that be!?"

As soon as Dacus finished speaking, the whole hall burst into a discussion. The admirals and captains looked at each other, obviously shocked by the future scene described by Dacus. They originally thought that this meeting was only for the current engineering projects and the cults that were closely related to their interests, but they did not expect that Dacus's vision had far exceeded the current tasks and looked forward to the overall situation hundreds of years later.

"Tourists from Ulthuan and Elsin Arwen?" Hadris frowned and murmured in a low voice, thinking about the grand plan described by Daxue.

Analyzing the information and keywords in the speech is a necessary skill for every Duruchi 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 make yourself stand firm and gain benefits in the next game.

But the information density in this speech is too huge. Daxue did not mention Nagaros. He did not think that Daxue had a bad memory and forgot, but when the tourists appeared, Duruchi was no longer in Nagaros.

If... If... Various information and pictures 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 Daxue. It was far more important than he had imagined before. Yes, based on the relationship between Daxue and the lizardmen that he saw, Aishriel must also be very important.

This information is very important to him. He knows how his family rose to prominence and what Dacus did in the process. He knows where Hag Graves will be in the future, and investing there is doomed to fail.

After he got this information, he knew that he and his family should invest in Asheril in addition to the next fixed investment. This is not only to express support for Dacus, but also to make the family get rich returns in the future.

After looking around at the thinking admirals and captains, Darkus smiled with satisfaction. He only rarely mentioned these thoughts and plans about the future to those around him. After all, it's all too far away and elusive, and the trip has already begun before King's Landing in Ulthuan is confirmed. This was the first time he shared his vision for the future with the Druchi, but he was very satisfied with the reaction of the admirals and captains.

He knew that what he just said had ignited the ambition and passion in the hearts of the admirals and captains.

"Marselan, what a bold idea! This kind of scene is something I have never imagined. They are not just businessmen or adventurers, but pure travelers, coming to enjoy the unique scenery here." I returned home not long ago and did not catch up. After thinking about it, Delex, who went to the battle of Zhahuitak, couldn't help but sigh loudly.

"And it's not just maritime transportation. If we can build such a port and develop tourism, the revenue will far exceed the cargo volume! Tourists will bring endless resources." A young captain's eyes were shining and he couldn't wait. said. But after he finished speaking, he realized that he had said the wrong thing. He should not have spoken out about the importance of the dock and attracted the attention of other admirals and captains.

The young captain and Deluxe's ​​words were like the curtain opening. For a moment, the admiral and the captains were scanning the sand table with their eyes eagerly, while speaking nonsense words of praise. Some even looked beyond the sandbox to the entire Ashriel, constantly recalling the investment proposal they saw in Krakarond in their minds, and they thought about what would happen after they came to Ulthuan.

Facing the compliments of the admirals and captains, Darkus seemed calm, and everything was according to his plan. While he was planning Chapeiuto, he was also boiling frogs in warm water and making some cakes. So he put together this drama, and the real thing hidden deep down was Druchi's naval reform.

The prospects have been seen, and the benefits have been distributed. If you don't understand the situation anymore, you will be a little ignorant of the promotion. This is no longer an ordinary Druch. He must punch hard, break a cup as a sign, and kill three million swordsmen from both sides.

After deciding not to let labor dispatch fill Ashiel, it will become inevitable to let elves fill Ashiel. In this case, it is better to do it simply. In the words of a certain director: Isn't it very bold?

The only regret is that the bulk cargo terminal has been drawn, but now Druch's does not have supporting dry bulk vessels.

"Roads, railways, storage yards, roads, railways, warehouses, and dock front operating areas. This system is the loading and unloading operating area." After the calm Darkus finished drawing on the sand table, he pointed to Walter and saw After Walter recorded it, he continued, "The operation area is divided into a loading and unloading operation area and an auxiliary operation area.

The loading and unloading operation area is arranged with the dock front operating area, warehouse yard and collection and distribution facilities for the operation of loading and unloading transportation machinery. Various mobile machinery warehouses, tool warehouses, machine tool repair shops, fire stations, material warehouses, office buildings in the operation area and other facilities are arranged in the auxiliary operation area. In addition, the most important thing is to reserve land for development. "

After seeing Walter nodding and recording, he looked at Master Xia again. There was nothing wrong with letting Walter take charge of what he just said.

He is the one who gives orders, and he is the kind who can stand without pain in his back. It's better that the content this time was not too out of line for the elves, so he was too lazy to assign specific details. But he had no choice but to stand up and give an example to the elves, telling the elves and skinks how to repair the port, how to change the port of Naggaroth to meet the needs of the King of Ulthuan, and what to do with the subsequent ports. build.

He knows the difference very clearly, and has always done so. There is no problem with the island and lighthouse being contracted by the Order and the Admiral, but the port is not within this scope. This is urban construction work and is Walter's job.

However, there are some tasks that Walter cannot handle.

Determining the size of a terminal is a science. It requires the shoreline energy method to estimate the number of berths, the berth capacity method to estimate the number of berths, and the terminal's occupied berths. Behind these words are huge data and calculations, which require mathematical calculations and the appearance of Master Xia, a constructor.

There are also a lot of opinions on the layout of the wharf, including along-shore layout, jetty layout, dug-in layout, layout along the inside of the breakwater, island type and trestle layout.

He did not consider the along-shore arrangement. This arrangement is very common. It is suitable for ports with small scales, large coastlines and limited water width. It is a common arrangement for estuary ports. Lizardmen's canal ports require this arrangement. .

He used a jetty arrangement that resembled an outstretched finger with ships resting on either side of it. The advantage of this arrangement is that more berths can be built, the natural coastline is saved, the construction layout of the entire port area is compact, and it is convenient for centralized management. Because bulk cargo terminals use pipelines or other continuous input systems for transportation, the terminals and warehouses can be kept far apart.

He planned to go all the way to the stomach, canceling the narrow jetty and directly adopting a wide jetty, so that the jetty has an area for storing warehouses. It can not only meet the needs of current small boats and provide a large number of berths for small boats, but also meet the needs of large ships in the future.

After taking a look at Master Xia, he did not point to his head for telepathy or say anything, but drew the wide jetty, railway, yard and warehouse on the sand table.

"In the future, we will have 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 cabin through the pipeline.

Imagine that the ship will change from an empty ship to a ship full of grain...wealth in one afternoon. You also know that there are very few black arks, and it is very troublesome to build them, which 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. One will be built within ten years, and not just one at a time, but multiple ships will be built 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's not easy to become an admiral. One's own ability only accounts for one part, and there are also wealth, political games, etc. In addition, there are only so many black arks, and they are all counted. But ships are different. Duruchi, and even the entire elves, will have almost unlimited demand for ships in the future. If you can't be an admiral, you can always be a captain. If you follow the family tradition, your descendants and relatives are there. If you don't follow the family tradition, you also need it. The ship itself is a symbol of wealth. The ship is yours. If you really can't find a captain, you can hire one.

Just as he thought, after hearing his words, Locksia's eyes lit up behind his mask. Locksia knew what the ship represented, and he also thought of the big family he needed to support...

When the admiral and the captains started discussing and imagining, he looked at Master Xia, and he stretched out a finger representing 10,000 tons. When Master Xia nodded, he also nodded, and the bulk cargo terminal area was considered a success. 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.

After the framework is set, the specific construction content will be filled by Watt, and finally the Ministry of Industry led by Colonia will complete the last link, that is, various mechanical equipment.

After the goods are transported to the bulk cargo terminal by rail, there are three processes: unloading, yard operation and loading. The specific process is train-unloader-belt conveyor-stacker-yard-reclaimer-belt conveyor-ship loader, and finally the ship.

The 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 the plane.

The ship loader is also easy to understand. It is a large bulk material machinery used for loading at the bulk cargo terminal. It consists of a boom belt conveyor, a transition belt conveyor, a telescopic chute, a tail car, a running device, a gantry, a tower, a pitching device, a slewing device, etc.

The unloader is also called a tipper. It is a large mechanical equipment used to tip over and unload bulk materials from railway open cars. It is a loading and unloading machine that flips or tilts rail vehicles to unload materials. It is also divided into rotary drum type, side unloading type, end unloading type and composite type.

Conveyors and ship loaders are too exaggerated for now. In the words of General Fan: Do you have the ability? No, Duruchi really doesn't have it at present, especially ship loaders. In addition, these equipment are not needed now. The production, transportation capacity, and needs are not available. Unlike Chapeyuto's one-step stomach, these equipment are forced to be put into operation, which is like giving a newborn baby a big rice bowl.

But unloaders are really needed, and they are urgently needed. Unloaders are an essential part of the railway system. Not only Chapeyuto needs it, but also Nagaros needs it.

The iron ore and coal from Hag Gravela to Nagarond need unloaders to dismantle them. In the future, when the Nagarond-Hag Gravela-Clarkarond-Anaheim railway line is connected, 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 winches and manpower.

This is the loading step, and there is also unloading. There are also steps for yard and bulk grain loading and unloading, but these are not what we should consider at present. Giant gantry cranes and containers are not considered either. It is still the era of sailing ships, and the height of the mast is there. How high the giant gantry crane can be requires complex processes, 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 that thing also needs power equipment to drive it, which is not something that can be done by manpower and winches. That requires ankylosaurs.

The only thing that can meet and is suitable for current needs may be a small hydraulic crane, but there are only sketches of high-precision rotary cutting lathes and milling machines, and there is no real object 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.

Breakbulk cargo does not need containers, while breakbulk cargo requires containers, but it is not necessary. After all, breakbulk cargo has been traveling on the sea for hundreds of years before containers appeared. Containers are just the embodiment of a system, and a system is needed behind it to manufacture, load and unload, and adapt to ships. Now that Druch has nothing, he just stuffs containers into the cabin of a sailboat? Forehead……

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 the entire belt conveyor. Build a frame, install a roller, complete the belt, and put a big iron key at the bottom to start the old-fashioned power equipment. The steam engine is no longer needed. Just let the labor dispatch provide power by hand. It is too slow. Give him two whips, and if he doesn't succeed, he'll be kicked directly into the sea.

If the container is not available, then shipping cartons will be used, but the problem arises again. Now Druchi doesn’t even know how to sort the most basic paper, so he has to go back to straighten the wax board and directly straighten the corrugated paper. This...

Maybe Tzeentch would feel that this is a bit Tzeentch? After all, this life is a bit abstract. Paper is used to create knowledge. As a result, there is no knowledge, but there are plenty of cardboard boxes for transporting goods.

Darkus, who automatically blocked the surrounding sounds, thought for a while and shook his head speechlessly. He found that planning a port was actually the easiest job now. He moved his mouth and beeped a few words, and Master Xia did it with a wave of his little hand. He finished drawing the frame and filled in the rest slowly. Anyway, the elf had plenty of time.

Just when his fingers fell, he was suddenly stunned. He discovered that he had the talent to become a Michelin pastry chef? Although he didn't touch the face or water with his hands now, that's what he was doing. Painting and making cakes for the Drukhi people. Although there is no water and flour, the cakes and cakes are all ready. What is this but a pastry chef? Moreover, he is also a high-level pastry chef. He doesn't even use water or noodles, he just relies on his mouth.

In addition to painting and making cakes for Drucci, he re-planned that Chapeiuto is also kneading dough in a certain way, just like the dough kneading simulator in the 1800s. If there is too much dough, add water, and if there is more water, add more dough. , add more water and add more noodles. When the pot can no longer hold it, get a new pot and mix it again.

However, as a senior pastry chef, he did not do this. After all, with the prefix of "senior", he no longer needs this step. He is like a master who has played for thousands of hours. He is given an island, and after taking a look at the resources, terrain and area, he knows how big the island is, where the port is built, how many docks and warehouses can be built, and what the island is suitable for. , and achieve maximum benefits.

After giving him an anchor point, he can assess how many pots, noodles and water will be needed just by looking at it. But this is essentially still making noodles, but the scene is not so ugly, and it looks a little bit more advanced? Without him, practice makes perfect, which is somewhat similar to Shu Jun Zao.

Even though he said that, he still made a mistake while taking a look. But it doesn't matter, it's still at the beeping stage and can be adjusted.

"This! This! As a bulk cargo terminal. This! As a military dock and dry dock. This! As a piece cargo terminal. Like the bulk cargo terminal, it adopts a wide jetty layout."

He expanded the bulk cargo terminal further north, occupying half of the entire blunt T except for the temple area. Then, his fingers further extended from the north end line 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, spreading his fingers, signaling the surprised Drukhi to silence! When the sound stopped, his left hand extended to the end of the northern end of the dock area.

"I know what you are worried about, don't worry." Darkus said with a meaningful smile.

Then, he took a stylus and drew on the sand table. A point appeared not far from the northern end of the island that suddenly appeared. Then the point extended to the north to form a straight line. When it extended to a certain distance, the straight line deflected to the left. It continues to extend after a few degrees, and the straight line continues to extend and deflect.

Standing in the distance, Belloda stared intently at the stylus pen in Darkus' hand crossing the sand table. The line that stretched continuously and gradually deflected was like a giant snake lurking in the deep sea. Her breathing became rapid as the line extended, her eyes widened instantly, her hands unconsciously grasped the cloak, and an unspeakable fear and chill emerged deep in her heart. (End of chapter)
