Tang En's bedroom was filled with wild laughter from time to time. The consequence of forgetting to set up the Silence Spell was that Tina and the others were so scared by Tang En that they didn't dare to come close.
They thought that Tang En had some kind of mental illness, which caused them to look at Tang En strangely for the next few days.
"I'm a genius!"
In the bedroom, Tang En looked at the substrate in front of him and praised himself generously. If the narcissistic Karl was here, he would definitely have a common language with him.
On the substrate in front of him, the threefold magic circle that was activated by his magic was shining faintly. Obviously, it was working very well.
Above the base plate, there was something similar to the hammer of the stamping machine. However, at the bottom of the hammer, there were some raised patterns. If one looked closely, they would find that the patterns were exactly the same as the magic array on the base plate.
That's right, Tang En's idea was to stamp it.
Using the hammer, he stamped the lines of the magic circle on the substrate, and then covered it with magic dust evenly. Just like that, a threefold magic circle was completed!
In Prandal, all magicians knew that there were three factors to the success of a magic circle. First, whether the magic circle was drawn accurately. Second, whether the magic material used could withstand the power of the magic circle. Third, whether the magic source used could drive the magic circle.
Among them, the second and third factors were the easiest to solve. The first factor that had always hindered magicians from learning and mastering magic circles was how to draw accurately.
Drawing a magic circle.
On Earth, the simplest way to restore a delicate pattern was to print it with a printer. Even children knew how to play with a cartoon seal.
Tang En couldn't make a printer now. A printer was much more complicated than a printing machine. Whether it was the input or output of the magic circle, it was a difficult problem.
But according to the principle of the seal, creating a stamped version of the magic circle was no problem at all.
The principle of the magic circle was nothing more than the flow of magic power in a specific path formed by the magic material, then it would produce a specific effect. The magic circle that Tang En engraved on the hammer was raised. After stamping on the substrate, it would form a groove that was the same as the magic circle, and it would be absolutely accurate with zero errors. It could completely restore the magic circle that Tang En engraved!
After that, it was simple. Tang En only needed to sprinkle magic dust in the groove and activate the magic circle. The magic dust would solidify under the effect of magic power and be fixed in the groove. After that, he only needed to change to magic crystals to provide magic power, and the magic circle could be perfectly reproduced. [e1]
"I'm really a genius!"
Tang En once again gave himself a thumbs up. He shamelessly took this "patent" for himself.
After discovering that this idea could be realized, Tang En drew inferences and instantly thought of many other ways. For example, he could combine the logo of the Datang Chamber of Commerce with the magic circle to achieve a real anti-counterfeiting function. He could even use this principle to directly implement integrated enchantment on the mass-produced armor and weapons. In the future, enchanted armor and weapons could be completely popularized in his army!
The success of this idea could be said to have completely opened up Tang En's mind, making him run in circles in excitement. With this idea, he would not have to worry about mass-producing other earth products at all in the future!
The only thing that restricted his development was the supply of raw materials and the problem of population.
The best and cheapest raw materials he could think of at the moment was steel. The iron mine in Brussels next to him could provide him with an endless supply of iron ore. As long as the production of the steel mill could keep up, there would be no shortage of basic civilian and military materials. When he became stronger in the future, the military materials could be replaced with better magic metals.
But before that …
"Population …"
Tang En could not help but sigh. Population was always a big problem. Not to mention the population of Ellington, even the population of the entire Irus Empire was actually only equivalent to a medium-sized province of Huaxia on Earth, about a few tens of millions. After all, the Irus Empire was a country that once united the human world after the invasion of Chaos, but now it had fallen to such a state.
And these tens of millions of people were scattered all over Irus. It was too difficult for Tang En to attract people from other places, unless Ellington could change completely and let everyone know about the existence of Ellington and let them take the initiative to come here.
Tang En had no doubt that one day Ellington would become the most popular place in Irus, or even in the whole Prandal, but that would take a long time to develop.
"Sigh, before that, I'd better make a plan …"
Tang En pinched the space between his eyebrows. He was having a headache.
He had never learned about urban planning. Planning and construction was a big thing that had nothing to do with him. But just because he had never learned about it, it did not mean that he had never heard of it.
There were many things to pay attention to in urban planning, whether it was the spacing between buildings, the layout, the lighting, the width of the roads, the pre-planned development period, and so on. Tang En had not learned about these, but he could roughly guess them. Even if he did not know anything and just relied on his memories of living on Earth, he could guess.
A plan would be much better than Ellington's current brainless development.
The reason why Ellington was not dirty and messy was that there were few people here. Once it developed in the future, if there was no corresponding way to deal with it, he was afraid that it would soon become Europe in the Middle Ages, with dirty feces and sewage everywhere.
Tang En could not help but tremble at the thought of the consequences. He shook his head vigorously.
Planning, it must be planned!
Tang En took out two pieces of parchment paper. The paper he made was not very durable. It could be used as toilet paper and newspaper, but it was not good enough to record things. Therefore, it was better to use durable parchment paper for planning.
"First of all, the division of buildings … Separate the industrial area from the living area, and there must be a green belt in the middle …"
Tang En muttered to himself as he roughly drew a map of Ellington on the parchment paper. He even drew the surrounding environment. This map was used as a reference map, and the other was the planning map.
Although the so-called industrial area in Ellington was only the steel mill, charcoal factory, and sawmill under construction … Perhaps it also included the mint factory and soap factory next to the Lord's Mansion? But Tang En felt that it was better to plan in advance. In the future, the development of the industrial area and the construction of the living area could be separated from each other.
In addition, taking into account the increase of the population and the expansion of the city in the future, Tang En completely separated the living area and the industrial area. The development of the two areas would expand outward and would not affect each other at all.
"Well, I also have to consider the transportation problem for the residents to go to work in the future … Every certain distance, I have to reserve a horizontal passage …"
Tang En muttered as he drew two horizontal passages on the planning map.
"Although the population is not high now, this is the central area in the future. The road must be more spacious … Six meters? Eight meters? Forget it, I'll just make it twelve meters in one step! "
Tang En simply set the width of the road at twelve meters. Although it was too wide, it was better to plan in advance than to tear it down in the future. Moreover, before the road was fully used, the two sides of the road could be used as areas for shops and stalls. It would not be a waste.
Tang En was afraid that the main road would spontaneously become a bazaar after a long time …
"The residential housing should be planned and built according to the shape of the square. Fiona should understand after I draw a rough picture. I'll let her figure it out herself …"
Tang En waved his pen and easily set the main structure of Ellington's buildings in the future.
However, for a city, the separation of the industrial area and the living area, the layout of the green belt, the layout of the living area, and even the width of the road were not the most important things. The most important thing was that Tang En was now beginning to have a headache.
In a modern city, there would be public toilets and fire stations at every certain distance. These were all basic facilities that the city must be equipped with. Strictly speaking, there was even a plan for a park. However, the area that Ellington needed to rebuild now was too small, so these problems could be ignored for the time being. However, there was one problem that could not be avoided at all. It had to be determined in advance.
That was the city's underground drainage system.
That's right. Since Tang En came to Ellington, he had not found any underground drainage facilities here. He had not even seen any above-ground drainage ditches …
Tang En did not know if it was because there was less rain here during the rainy season or because the terrain here was high and the Jade River was low, so there was no need for drainage. However, in any case, it was impossible for a city to not have a drainage system.
Tang En could not imagine how dirty and messy a city without a drainage system would be when the population increased. He did not want his city to become such a smelly place.
However, Tang En only knew that the city's drainage system treated and removed the city's sewage and rainwater. Under the implementation of the sewage and rainwater separation system, the sewage was collected by the drainage pipe, sent to the sewage treatment center, and discharged into the water body or recycled. The rainwater runoff was collected by the drainage pipe and discharged into the water body nearby.
However, he did not know what to pay attention to in the design of the drainage system.
"Hmm … The diameter of the drainage pipe? Sturdy and durable? The load-bearing structure of the land? "
Tang En thought for a long time but was still confused. In the end, he had to write down these points according to his previous impression. In any case, the drainage pipe must be sturdy and durable, and the diameter must be large enough. Otherwise, no one would be able to stand the blockage of the drainage pipe every few days.
As for the separation of rainwater and sewage, it was easy to say. The two drainage systems were completely isolated. The rainwater would be directly discharged into the Jade River through the above-ground drainage system, and the underground drainage system would only discharge sewage to each household.
As for the place where the sewage was discharged … It was directly connected to the large sewage pool of the paper mill, and it would be sent to the fire elements realm regularly for destruction!
The drainage capacity was not enough. He only needed to increase the size of the sewage pool and the frequency of destroying the sewage.
"I'm really a genius!"
Tang En looked at the drawings and exclaimed. He gave himself a big thumbs up!
