The brave man opened the coffin and rose

Domino led this group of civilians through the busy forces of all sizes and finally arrived at the city of Hajime.

His goals were not selfless.

At least it was not out of pure kindness, but rather the intention was to let these people experience Lord Mirakor's kindness, to let them stay, and to become a part that Lord Mirakor could use.

But you can never say that such thoughts are dirty and improper.

The so-called selfless act without any consideration would be to take out food and feed stray cats and dogs when you see them - but obviously, this method is not recommended.

Because stray cats and dogs may be infected with rabies or other diseases or poisonous insects, they may cause inconvenience or even danger to the people who feed them and other citizens.

Moreover, if they are fed, they will become powerful killers that destroy the living environment of other animals, especially cats. They often catch, torture and kill, or even play with flying birds, and can easily destroy the fragile food chain and ecosystem in the natural environment within a radius of one or two kilometers.

This is also why it is so infuriating when someone places a device for feeding stray cats in a bird protection wetland park.

Irresponsible love, love without any follow-up consideration, is not true love, but an accomplice of malicious intent.

If Domino did not have the intention of gathering them together and using them for Lord Miracol's benefit, then when he found that group of people, he could have done something that seemed kind but actually did more harm than good.

For example, giving them money and possessions that they have no use for;

For example, although food is given, it cannot be eaten directly but needs to be processed;

Or it could be something that rots easily, which might bring plague and disease.

Of course, a more direct possibility is that they would never go to remote corners to look for the settlements of these civilians.

After all, you have only seen people feeding stray cats on university campuses or in urban communities. When have you ever seen these people willing to travel long distances to the wilderness to look for disabled or sick cats that are living a worse life and are influenced by the theory of natural pressure and natural selection?

But what Domino has to do is different.

It was because he knew that Lord Miracle was sincere in protecting the common people;

It is also a miracle of heaven on earth, which allows the homeless to receive almost free food and basic help in a strange land.

That is why he would do it, to go into the so-called nooks and crannies, to the foot of the Central Mountain Range or inside the mountains, to the mountain wilderness covered with coniferous forests, and to the lower reaches of the river channel eroded by the long-disappeared rivers.

Go to any possible settlement that can barely survive but has definitely arrived at the countdown to extinction after a whole winter, and bring back those civilians in a semi-tough manner.

In short, during this period of time, what those who have been sealed need to do is to facilitate and realize this process.

However, after such a long period of preparation, when Domino asked the civilians who followed him what impressed them most along the way, a large number of them mentioned something he didn't know at all.

"It's... the huge iron bird in front of the shrine."

……

This mentality is like when you take your children to visit the Jiangnan water villages or ancient towns, and the most impressive thing in their diary of that day is the bright yellow sign of the Kaifengcai American fast food restaurant.

No, it's even more exaggerated than that.

Any teacher who has participated in spring and autumn outings knows what the KFC light sign is, but at this moment, Domino still doesn't understand what the big iron bird that was driven by someone and dropped from the sky that day was.

----------

Human cognition is closely linked to the surrounding environment.

For example, Domino would never understand that the basic needs of food and drink, which he values, are not in short supply in the royal capital, and even in Carter Castle and the Breland Castle that was just captured.

The so-called importance and respect, and the absolute deterrence that he values, are not worth mentioning in the minds of some people.

For example, the city of Hajime has a shrine.

It is so high that it reaches the sky. Without the help of faith in the power, it is definitely a magnificent building that is difficult to build in the North.

It is propaganda as well as a deterrent, and it is one of the reasons why the city of Hajime has not been swallowed up by the surrounding forces.

In the Breland family, someone also asked Abes to build a palace at the location of the Breland family.

This was of course flatly rejected by Abes.

"I am not so extravagant as to practice in a new territory where there are only a few thousand people, and all of them are soldiers, and are at war?"

"Perhaps an independent and majestic palace can indeed have a little effect in deterring villains, but I still think that treating the soldiers well is the real way to deter villains."

In this way, half a year after landing in this world, Abes was still a palace ruler without his own independent palace.

But this doesn't mean that Abes won't enjoy himself.

For example, he is currently studying the material issues for casting cities and casting houses.

Previously, in the new East Gate area of ​​the royal capital, Abes provided refugees with temporary houses made of movable steel plates.

It was the overflowing steel houses that frightened the Lord of the Sludge City at the time, causing the other party, who was originally planning to cause trouble, to surrender.

Including the camp residences of the soldiers around the Breland family, they were all regular camps in the first two days. After a series of frostbite problems occurred, the transport bird immediately brought in enough panels for the mobile steel houses.

Build a steel house outside the battlefield.

For the vast majority of people in the North, and even people on the entire continent, it is a precious blessing to be able to live in a house, even a steel house, in a very short period of time.

But Abes didn't think so.

In his opinion, steel prefabricated houses are ultimately just temporary residences.

In the modern world, this kind of thing only appears in temporary dormitories and temporary offices next to construction sites;

Or it might appear in news footage of the resettlement of disaster victims on the night of earthquake relief.

In short, these are temporary.

After the construction is completed, the blue colored steel houses next to the construction site will be removed;

After the earthquake relief work is completed, these temporary residences will also be cancelled.

However, Abes made those people live in this kind of house for half a year at a time. Even though they felt they were living well, Abes, who had experience and knowledge of worldly life, felt absolutely guilty.

He needed new building materials, new, fast and convenient building materials.

But fortunately, he didn't have to rack his brain to come up with the answer.

Because Seris in the real world is known as the infrastructure maniac. Everyone can understand what the infrastructure relies on to build so many buildings and facilities.

Reinforced concrete!

Steel bars are easy to deal with. In this world, magic is involved in the steelmaking industry, and the efficiency is already comparable to that of some small factories with the support of modern technology.

I'm afraid we just need to modify some parameters and processes a little bit to meet the strength and toughness requirements of the steel bars.

After thinking about it, Abes realized that the most troublesome thing was that there was no cement, or concrete, in this world.

What’s worse is that, as I have said, this world is very strange in terms of the physical rules.

It can boil water but cannot make a steam engine. It has metals and magnets that can attract iron and cobalt metals but has no electromagnetic effect.

The progress that Abes has made in this world is actually based on the use and improvement of the laws of its own existence.

For example, instead of developing a gun that uses compressed gas ignited by gunpowder, they used magic to create magic arm armor.

Judging from the visual effects and actual usage results, Abes has directly come up with advanced technologies such as flamethrowers (encapsulated with fire arrows), electric guns (encapsulated with lightning arrows), knockback guns (encapsulated with thunder waves), and laser guns (encapsulated with any kind of ray-type spells).

However, in terms of the difficulty of climbing the technology tree and the technical level, what Abes created is only at the same level as the matchlock or arquebus of current technology.

This is the difference in climbing the technology tree brought about by the differences in the world.

So simply trying to make cement by burning stones and sand is also very troublesome.

After firing according to the ratio, temperature and time he remembered, Abes did not produce cement like other time travelers, but just a pile of carbonaceous dry powder that could not be glued together.

This failure forced Abes to settle for the next best option and start to turn to some methods that did not cause much physical and chemical changes.

The target he chose was cement.

As the name suggests, mortar is a building material made by mixing and compacting three materials.

There are many opinions about this three.

In places where there is mud soil, the materials for cement mortar are mud, slaked lime and sand.

The cement mortar base layer in construction projects is paved with a mixture of lime, sand (a small amount of clay can be added) and broken bricks.

In some places, the three ingredients of this mortar have even risen to a mixture of glutinous rice, brown sugar and loess.

It's almost like eating it if you just replace the loess with chocolate or cream.

This is of course an exaggeration, like saying that the walls of the Potala Palace are mixed with milk.

Maybe a lot of milk was indeed used in the surface coating, but it would be too exaggerated if no sand, gravel or ash was used inside.

Not to mention that our ancestors couldn't afford so much money to buy brown sugar, glutinous rice, or milk and other things.

Even if the people who built the Potala Palace were slave owners, they could choose these things for free, but it was impossible for them to cross mountains and rivers to carry back so much brown sugar and glutinous rice from production areas hundreds or even thousands of miles away to use as soil.

Because the amount of soil needed to build a building or even a palace is quite astonishing.

In order to build a magnificent palace, it is not uncommon in history that a large area of ​​land has to be changed.

With such a large amount, is it possible to make it all with foods like brown sugar, glutinous rice, or even milk?

So, of course, Abes admits that brown sugar and glutinous rice have a strong adhesive effect, but he is only willing to think that these things are used on the surface at most.

It's like a kind of caulking agent.

And the advantage of this kind of caulking agent is that if tiny cracks and unevenness appear, if you have a decent life, you can boil a pot of brown sugar, glutinous rice mud water at home, and then use it to fill the cracks and level the surface.

All in all, Abes finally adopted a more reliable list of sand, gravel, loess, gray soil, lime and broken bricks.

But in addition to this list, Abes did not forget to consult the local people, especially those who possessed magical knowledge, to see if they could provide some better inspiration.

After all, if he had insisted on working behind closed doors and creating the modern technology of his imagination, he would still be studying how to make seamless steel pipes instead of already equipping them with magic arm armor in large quantities.

Magic and some special existences in this world must be used.

"The power of correction is truly terrifying..."

In the Nine Hells, Lierta Solo Vendreva, who wanted to return to the material plane, or at least the guy who thought he was Vendreva, had been staying here for a long time. (Appeared in Chapters 267 and 268)

She also went from being very enthusiastic at the beginning to being uninterested now.

"Dragon, yes, but the signal disappeared;"

"There are giants, too, but the signal is gone too."

"As long as the evil demons appear in the same place, the army of Hell will be qualified to return to the material plane on a large scale, and you will take me back with you. Let's say this."

"……Yes."

The Duke of Hell did not want to deceive an old friend from a thousand years ago, even though they were mostly hostile to each other even in the past.

But for now, she's a good match for the goal of returning to the material plane.

"But tell me what's going on. Why did that unstable demonic signal appear in a place less than a hundred miles away from that place?"

"What's even more damning is that the signal eventually disappeared."

"All three signals don't exist. No matter how we try to exploit the loopholes in the contract, we can't do it."

The signals of dragons and giants they were talking about were naturally the ones that occurred in the Gyeonggi region, the situations of giants and dragons that Abes had fought against.

The signal of the evil spirit, which is unstable, refers to the witch Aunt Wanna.

Hags are usually considered fey, but night hags are an exception.

The Night Hag, who was imbued with the power of Hades of the Three Depressions, could be categorized as an evil demon.

The Lava larvae she created are also weak evil demons.

And once upon a time, Aunt Wanna was located within the confines of the Baijing Tea House, just off the main highway.

At one point, all the people in the Breland family's territory were transformed into spirits of Lava larvae.

Therefore, the evil spirit's signal is located not far from the Gyeonggi region signal.

If these three signals can overlap and appear simultaneously in a certain area, they will have the possibility of entering the material plane and opening the gates of hell.

It is this missed opportunity that makes them even more upset.

"Is it impossible to correct it? The world refuses to let the existence from a thousand years ago come back again?"

"Vendreva" changed to a more wild sitting posture with his legs crossed.

And this is classified as a correction force.

After all, when they followed Abes to attack the dragon, it took more than ten years and they couldn't resolve it in one go. The leading captain also gave them a similar explanation.

Bayer, who was standing by, seemed to accept this statement as well. "Correction force? Is this the reason why the man on the ninth floor failed to snatch the divine spark, but still led us to touch the weak and strong divine powers again?"
