Chapter 148 Ivan Chief Designer
If you want to truly design a city, its population expectations are often the most important aspect.
Population affects all functional facilities. For example, the number of residences, grain-producing areas, and public facilities are all directly related to the population size.
However, the orc population is growing too fast, which is indeed a necessary path for the wasteland tribes in their early development, but it means that enough living space needs to be reserved.
Therefore, Alvin cannot design the city according to the current population configuration.
The Wasteland Tribe was established too recently. After experiencing the invasion of the Fallen, the number of adult orcs has dropped to more than a thousand, and the remaining nearly three thousand are all cubs under the age of ten.
If the city is not to be expanded for a period of time, then it must be able to accommodate at least 30,000 orcs.
But at this scale, food and the like are trivial matters. Instead, it will make the orc city too large and the walls too long, making it impossible to defend with existing forces.
It would be great if there was a way to ensure both population capacity and the difficulty of city defense.
Blue Star relies on high-rise residential buildings to solve the problem of urban area, but high-rise buildings require hard materials as the main structure...
Suddenly, Alvin thought of a feasible solution. He patted Broken Tooth's shoulder and shouted loudly.
"Let's go! Call more people, let's go move the things!"
……
During the Istar period, the Falling Star Fortress was a transit point for strategic materials.
Large quantities of magic materials and metals will be transported here first, and then transported to the front line in the direction of the Haze Forest.
Because of the convenience of shaping spells, the mages of Istar do not have much industrial thinking.
They only need to restore the matter into a form that is easy to carry, transport it to the front line, and then the wizard in charge of arming will shape it into weapons or constructs on the spot.
Therefore, a large amount of rare steel blocks are stored in the Star-Chasing Fortress, which is also the source of minerals that Alvin plans to use to do business.
After using the shaping spell to shape this thing several times, Alvin now knows the characteristics of this metal - hard, very hard, and yet with a certain degree of toughness.
A thin steel bar as thick as a little finger and two meters long can actually bear the weight of Soi without bending.
This can be said to be the most perfect material for making building frames.
He brought a large group of orcs and brought back a large amount of rare steel like a raid.
Due to limited transportation capacity, this pile of rare steel ingots is estimated to be less than one thousandth of the reserves in the fortress.
Ivan hurriedly called a group of orc craftsmen to help him do structural testing:
He didn't know how to build a house, but he knew he had to make a small model first to see if the structure was reasonable.
After spending two days in continuous shaping spells, the dusty-faced Ivan and a group of equally dusty-faced orc craftsmen burst into deafening cheers.
"Mr. Irwin, no, Mr. Irwin!
You are truly amazing!
If you can really magnify this stone countless times and it still doesn't collapse, then you have built a mountain!"
Ivan wiped the white ash off his face and looked excitedly at the half-man-high pillar in front of him - a low-rise building modeled after the Blue Star building, with twenty floors above ground and five floors underground, and deep piles.
Even if five orcs worked together, they could not push down this half-human-height model.
In the middle of the supporting column, there is no elevator shaft installed like the one on Blue Star - after all, neither Alvin nor the orcs understand elevator technology.
So Ivan designed a spiral staircase on the outside of the building, like the one in Druid Oak Apartments.
With the orcs' physical strength, they could probably run up and down twice without even taking a breath.
After securing a structurally stable residence, the next step is urban planning.
In Ivan's vision, a small half of the city will continue to border Mirror Lake, while the rest will be protected by tall city walls.
The city center will serve as the administrative area of the orcs. In addition to being used as a daily office for big bosses like Tagun, Ivan also plans to add public service facilities such as education and medical care.
The residential area is surrounded by a circle outside the administrative area. These small high-rise buildings can be used as defense shelters in the city center and can also facilitate the daily movement of the orcs.
The east side near Jinghu Lake is divided into agricultural area and industrial area.
Whether it is growing crops or preparing ore, a large amount of water resources is required.
The west side was arranged as a military zone at Broken Tooth's suggestion, as the orc tribe was accustomed to maintaining a large military population.
As for the shelters, there are underground bunkers of various sizes under several areas.
Amid the astonished admiration of the orc elders, Alvin finally completed the design drawings for this city construction.
“Tagon, I have shaped enough thin steel bars to build two residential buildings. I just need to let the orc workers start digging and building according to my model.
According to the current population ratio, even if all of you move in, it would probably only fill up half of the house;
As for the construction of other facilities, I suggest you discuss with Bol and ask the orcs who have become druids to come back and help."
The old shaman squinted his eyes and looked at the human with a smile. He didn't know if it was Ivan's illusion, but the wrinkles on Tagon's face seemed to have increased.
“Human boy, according to the agreement, the Wasteland Orcs will continue to collect the magic metals in the Falling Star Fortress.
But are you sure the Druid Station needs such a large amount of rare steel?"
“No, no, no, you don’t have to transport the magic metal to the Gray Haze Forest.
These metals are in the hands of the orcs in the wasteland. I will need these supplies soon."
"Contrary to you, I hope the wasteland orcs will never need these things."
Alvin raised his eyebrows. In the old shaman's concept, these rare steels and refined gold were mostly used to forge weapons and equipment.
But the Blue Star Waste Youth knew very well that strategic materials were not necessarily weapons.
“Don’t worry, Tagon.
Rather than turning these things into swords, spears, swords and halberds, they are more useful in other ways..."
……
Soi, who was supposed to go to the Frost Giants' settlement, was kept in the Druids' settlement to attend the sisters' celebration banquet in the name of gratitude for the treatment by Liane.
It was called a feast, but it was nothing more than a few golden roasted black-scaled fish, accompanied by fresh fruits and vegetables that elves and half-elves loved.
Although he liked frozen food, Soi was drooling over the grilled fish that were as big as his palm.
I couldn't resist the temptation of the rich aroma and took a bite of most of the grilled fish.
"Looks like I have to go to the ecological farm and steal a few more black-scaled fish..."
Senna spoke incoherently as she stuffed fish into her mouth.
"No, no, I'll go with you later..."
The short Lian still felt that the food standards in the base were much higher.
After eating dry food for several days in a row and being forced to attend a barbecue party of the orcs in the wasteland, my sense of taste was really damaged during this time.
"I really envy you guys... Gurgle Gurgle..."
Miss Undead Frey looked at the sumptuous food in front of her. She recalled the fruit pie made by Teacher Lati, and the fire of her soul unconsciously simulated the sound of her stomach growling.
“Mmmmm…Mmmmm…Mmmmm…”
Soi, who was eating hot food for the first time, was attracted by this unconventional food for the Frost Giants. Even the small blisters on the tip of her tongue could not stop her from stuffing her mouth full of food.
"Senna, let me tell you, this time when Soi was in that scary cave, he risked his life to save me...
So this is our new sister, gurgle gurgle gurgle..."
"It seems that Miss Lian has more friends."
In the final battle, Frey Starsong, who was surprised by Soi's transformation, looked at the frost giant in front of her happily.
"Yes, from today on, the four of us sisters are the most powerful group in the Haze Forest!"
Lian, who had swallowed a piece of fish, suddenly stood up and put her little hand on Soi's cold arm.
"Combination? Are we going to practice some doctrine like a cult?"
"We are druids...
Why not come up with a resounding name to let everyone know how powerful we four sisters are!! "
"Hmm... that makes sense...
So let's start today by calling ourselves "Down with the Perverted Sisters!"
