In fact, Tang En's considerations were too comprehensive. He was a lazy person, so he wanted to get everything done in one go. However, the construction of a city could not be completed in one go. Every time there was a technological innovation, there would be a new construction process.
For example, although he had taken the discharge of domestic sewage into consideration, in fact, Ellington … no, even the whole Prandal had not yet had a water project. The people generally used water directly from wells or rivers, so the discharge of domestic sewage was very small. The natural environment here could completely achieve a normal purification cycle.
Because of this, Tang En's habits on Earth had caused him to be very uncomfortable. Fortunately, his identity was a Lord, so it was not his turn to fetch water.
Tang En was also very clear about this, but he was already thinking about the water project, so now he planned the underground drainage system in advance to avoid any accidents.
Moreover, the underground drainage system had another advantage, which was that it saved a lot of effort. Since it was an underground project, Tang En could completely do it himself. He used earth magic to solve the problem of the drainage pipes, and it would not attract the attention of the residents of Ellington.
Recalling his impressions on Earth, he drew the plan. Before he knew it, the night had passed.
"This is the plan you drew!?"
Fiona saw the plan Tang En put in front of her, and her eyes widened. She simply looked at the plan, and she did not know how to describe her feelings.
Now she only had one feeling, and that was perfection!
Yes, Tang En's plan of Ellington could only be described as perfect. Whether it was the market, streets, roads, living areas, industrial areas, or even fire prevention, garbage disposal, and so on, everything was taken into account. If it was built according to his plan, one could imagine how clean and tidy the city would be!
What shocked Fiona the most was the underground drainage system that Tang En had specially marked on the plan. Now, in the capital, Alinx, there were craftsmen who had proposed this idea, but it had not been fully realized because the project was very large. Unless they asked a magician to do it, but magicians were proud. How would they be willing to be a craftsman who dug holes?
In addition, the royal family wanted to increase their income and reduce their expenditure, so they were unwilling to spend too much. Therefore, this project had never been put on the agenda.
Fiona did not expect that Tang En would directly propose a perfect underground drainage system design. Not only was there a clear and definite design for each household's sewage discharge method, but there was also a solution for the final sewage treatment method.
The biggest problem that troubled the craftsman who proposed the underground drainage system was how to deal with the discharged sewage. Because the city was built on water and the residents had to draw water from the river and underground water, the sewage could not be discharged into the river. It was because of this that the royal family was unable to make up their minds to start the project.
Did Tang En solve this problem?
"In the end, the sewage will be discharged into the sewage pit of the paper mill? And then? "
Fiona frowned. "You haven't told me how to deal with the sewage discharged from the paper mill. If it's discharged into the river and eventually into the sea, I'm afraid it won't be long before the Naga Clan comes knocking on our door."
"Didn't I tell you?"
Tang En was stunned. "I solidified a miniature portal in the sewage pit and directly discharged the sewage through the portal."
Fiona was also stunned. "A portal?"
"Yes..."
Before Tang En could finish speaking, Fiona suddenly exclaimed and looked at Tang En in shock. "You said... a portal!? The thing you put in the sewage pit that day was a portal!? "
Tang En patiently explained, "It's not a portal. It's a substrate with a portal spell. It's different from a portal."
A portal was connected to two fixed locations, and the space channel was very stable and could transport a large number of goods and life forms. The portal spell, on the other hand, was much more fragile and could not be opened for a long time. If the transport volume was too large, it would collapse directly.
After learning that it was not a teleportation portal, Fiona was disappointed. Before the Chaos invasion, the method of setting up the teleportation portal in Prandal had been lost. The few remaining teleportation portals were also destroyed in the two Chaos invasions. Now, there was no working teleportation portal in Prandal. It was said that the Secret Arts Association of the Star-Moon Tower had been working hard to study the remains of the teleportation portal in recent years, trying to restore the ancient teleportation portal technology. Unfortunately, it had not been completed.
If Tang En even had the technology of a portal, Fiona was afraid that she would really doubt whether he was a god descending.
Fiona asked casually, "But the portal also has to have a target. Where did you discharge the sewage to? It won't cause any trouble, right? "
"Well, on the other side of the portal is the Fire Elemental Realm. The sewage will evaporate when it goes in, so it shouldn't -"
"What! Really! "
Fiona exclaimed and sat crookedly on the ground.
Tang En pulled her up with a puzzled look. "What's wrong?"
"You're asking me what's wrong?!"
Fiona said angrily, "You discharged the sewage into the Fire Elemental Realm?! Are you crazy?! Are you trying to start a plane war?! "
Although she had never learned magic, Fiona also knew that fire elementals were water-repellent creatures. Splashing dirty water in their world was undoubtedly provoking those grumpy fire elementals!
What if they couldn't bear it anymore and directly went through the portal to kill …
That scene was so beautiful that Fiona simply couldn't imagine it!
"Don't worry, it won't."
Tang En shrugged and said indifferently, "I checked when I opened the portal. It's a barren area of the Fire Elemental Realm nearby. There are no fire elementals."
"That'd better be the case. If the fire elementals really invade Prandal, we'll be the sinners of Prandal …"
Fiona's expression was uglier than if she were crying. She really didn't expect that she would follow such an audacious lord who quietly came up with such a whimsical thing …
"Don't worry, although the fire elementals are grumpy and hate water, the Fire Elemental Realm is so big. Instead of spending so much effort to invade Prandal, they'd probably prefer to live in another place."
Tang En spread his hands and said, "If it were you, would you stay there and be drenched when it rained?"
"Of course not."
"That's why you don't have to worry about that."
"But I feel that your analogy is a bit strange …"
"Don't worry, the Chamber of Commerce has been officially established. Now, your main focus is to supervise the completion of the steel mill and start production as soon as possible. Other than that, you have to start planning for the reconstruction of Ellington. If there's anyone who doesn't want to move, just tell me and I'll help them."
Fiona sighed and sat back on the chair again. "Don't worry, no one will refuse to cooperate. After all, you're the lord."
Tang En forgot that the lord had the absolute right to dispose of his subjects. He was still thinking about whether to give some reconstruction subsidies to the residents, but he gave up after hearing Fiona's words.
If he told her his idea of subsidies, Fiona would probably be furious again.
"But …"
Fiona picked up the plan again and looked at it with a frown. "I think your plan is not complete yet. The underground drainage system seems to have a supporting facility. Why isn't it drawn?"
"Oh, that's the water project."
Tang En said casually, "This can only be started later. We don't have the conditions now."
"Water project?"
Fiona was interested. "What project is it? Can you tell me about it? "
"Of course you can. You are my CEO."
Tang En smiled and briefly introduced the concept of the water project to Fiona.
After listening to Tang En's introduction, Fiona became excited again.
"Water project! Oh! My God! My Lord! Could it be that you're really a god?! How did you come up with such a genius idea!? "
Fiona just thought about not leaving the house and only needing to turn the switch to have water flow out. She was so excited that her whole body trembled. If it was really like what Tang En said, then how convenient would Ellington's life be in the future?
The residents here would no longer have to line up by the river and the well every day to draw water. How much precious time could be saved every day?
"Of course, I've always been a genius."
Tang En very shamelessly admitted Fiona's praise and said with a smile, "Because the water pipeline needs copper, there is no copper mine in Ellington now, so I can only put it aside for the time being."
Most of the water pipes on Earth were stainless steel pipes or PVC pipes. Although ordinary steel pipes or cast iron pipes were also possible, they were easy to rust. Tang En didn't know how to make PVC, and he didn't have any impression of stainless steel. It was plated with a layer of metal, so he couldn't make it, so he could only give up.
In addition to these, there was a very good choice, which was copper water pipe.
The copper water pipe had a smooth inner wall and would not rust or scale after long-term use. It could avoid secondary water pollution, reduce heat loss, and inhibit the growth of bacteria in the pipe. It had a stronger advantage than other water pipes.
Copper water pipes were not used on Earth because copper was expensive. The cost was high and ordinary people couldn't afford it. Due to the special situation of Prandal, copper was a very cheap metal resource, so using copper water pipes was the best choice for Tang En.
However, the biggest problem was that there was no copper mine within Ellington's borders.
Even if Tang En wanted to buy copper mines, he didn't have the conditions now because Ellington didn't have so much wealth to import copper ore.
So after comprehensive consideration, the water project could only be put aside for the time being. After the reconstruction project in Ellington was put on the agenda, then he would find a way to solve this problem.
