Chapter 210: The Emergence of Full-Time Craftsmen

Thinking about it carefully, Kant already had a decision.

The 15-metre-high water tower is built in the spring behind the Consulate, with the bottom just in the middle of the spring.

After the system has been renovated, the spring that has been connected to the water elemental plane gushes with clear fresh water, and inside the stone wall at the bottom of the water tower, the wooden water drawing cart also begins to rotate, drawing a large amount of fresh water into the wooden water tower with a height of 5 meters on the upper floor, like a big-headed doll, and becomes a reserve water source.

At the same time, Kant also built two water towers in the eastern military district, the southern residential area, the western handicraft area, and the central residential street, forming a total of seven water towers.

And next to the water tower, build a deep well and a fire tower again, let the wooden water truck stretch into it, as long as there are civilians to come to the side of the water truck to operate, you can quickly use the water truck to replenish all the fresh water into the water tower, form a reserve water source, supplement the daily need for water sources.

The water stored in the water tower is also distributed to the fire tower.

These 20-meter-high buildings can overlook the entire "Drehem" castle, and the source of any fire will be instructed by the observers stationed at the top of the fire tower, so that the fire brigade on the ground can be dispatched to carry the water from the fire tower with matching water trucks and buckets to quickly extinguish the fire.

These buildings that are matched with the water tower are the helpers of fire prevention!

And, of course, small fountains.

Kant also set up four small fountains on the southwest and northeast sides.

The four small fountains on the southwest side ensure the daily water supply of the ruling district, the handicraft area, and the residential area, as well as to curb the spread of the fire before the fire brigade arrives in a critical moment.

The four small fountains on the northeast side are mainly used by the soldiers of the military district.

So to speak.

These two-tiered pools, which are more than 3 meters wide and more than 1 meter high, are more than just ornamental fountains.

Or the vital drinking water to extinguish the main force!

In the course of daily life, you can also enjoy the spring water with a beautiful arc, and the mist formed between the spring water and the temperature of the entire city wall was lowered.

Although the effect is not large, it can also add a bit of moisture and not look too hot.

This is dependent on water diversion channels.

This kind of stone and wood building is actually a unique building that refers to the drinking water pipes of the Rhodok Kingdom and the Salander Kingdom, and is formed by systematic integration.

Or even a soul building that mobilizes the water source in the castle of "Drehem".

Build more carefully.

Because the establishment of water diversion channels is related to the drinking water of the whole population, fire prevention and extinguishing, and the distribution of water resources.

Connect water towers, deep wells, fire towers, small fountains.

It is the core of the entire "Drehem" water mobilization!

The diversion channel is divided into two layers.

The upper floor, dominated by the trunks of date palms, hollowed out the inner belly to form channels, was erected on the four walls and on the roofs of the houses, and finally connected to the water towers, and then flowed down into the underground water channel.

The underground water diversion channel is made of small cut stones.

At the same time, it is plastered with lime and other materials to prevent water seepage.

It is then buried half a meter underground, along with eight small fountains throughout the castle of "Drehem", which eventually creates a siphon effect, causing the fountains to spew out a wonderful flow of water.

Even the Consulium has a separate water diversion channel.

This is similar to the aqueduct works of the Romans.

The difference, however, is that these channels have not yet reached the scale of bringing drinking water from the lakes in the mountains to the city, which spans several kilometers, and only transports fresh water from the lakes and deep wells to the castle by manpower.

However, although on a smaller scale.

But the sparrows are small and have all the organs, making the "Drehem" castle impeccable!

To ensure safety.

The civil guard tower, also built in 4 districts within the castle.

These 4 guard towers have a wide area of jurisdiction.

It is similar to the urban management system, which maintains order and cleanliness in peacetime, patrols the streets in wartime, maintains stability, searches for spies, and shows the castle's official determination to maintain stability and victory.

It's just that there are no outsiders in the castle at the moment, so the guard tower is just for show.

After all, these soldiers and civilians are always loyal, and Kant could not betray him.

As for spies.

Kant didn't plan to open the castle of "Drehem" yet, and there would be no such rat-like creatures.

As for other civil buildings.

For example, the Artisan Guild was built next to the training ground.

This is a building that recruits or trains Tinkerers to craft siege or defense weapons, such as catapults, towers, ladders, or ballistas.

However, he is not a craftsman who makes siege equipment.

In the artisan guild, there are also professional blacksmiths, sugar makers, salt makers, weavers, tailors, and so on.

These full-time craftsmen recruited by the guild are all skilled in full-time skills.

It's like farmers are better suited to farming.

These full-time craftsmen fill the current vacancies in the handicraft industry of the "Drehem" castle, such as the salt workshop, the sugar workshop, and the linen workshop, which can cultivate excellent talents to settle in and start more efficient work, which is far better than the temporary cameo and completely part-time farmers.

There are even all kinds of workers who are needed inside the arms workshop.

For example, professional manufacturing craftsmen such as arrow craftsmen, spear craftsmen, tanners, weapon craftsmen, etc.

The Weapons Workshop Kant acquired the building at the fortified level.

However, the cost-effective use is low.

Only the weapons such as wooden sticks can be produced, and even leather armor can be made, but they cannot be made because of the unfamiliar craftsmanship of the peasants and the lack of professional production talents, and they can only choose to give up in the end.

Although it is ironed and tanned, it looks very simple.

But without practical experience, you really can't complete the crafting of weapons.

Otherwise, it would be too child's play to simply hand over inferior weapons to the soldiers to defend their homes and country.

On the real battlefield, if there are no excellent weapons, relying on these defective products alone, it is estimated that if they come into contact with the enemy's formation, the weapons may be directly broken or broken, and it will not be able to maintain a high-intensity battle at all.

In the end, the battle was lost and a tragedy was staged.

The emergence of the Artisans' Guild also made up for this shortcoming.

The current "Drehem" castle has a high-level weapon workshop, as long as there are raw materials such as iron ingots, you can make weapons by yourself, and there is no need to continue to purchase weapons, which costs a lot of dinars.

Although Jocelyn of the Zhivading merchant gets along well, he is a merchant after all.

Broken materials could not be sold for a few dinars.

Weapons that can be replaced, such as lances and spears in the hands of the cavalry, can cost a lot of dinars.

This is a system limitation.

Unless it has its own arsenal.

And now, Kant was already able to determine that the weapons workshop could be put into operation.

Buying extremely cheap iron ingots from the Kingdom of Vekia, allowing professional blacksmiths and full-time weapon craftsmen to craft various weapons and armor and distribute them to soldiers, which is definitely quite cheap, and can even be sold to the outside world in exchange for large silver coins, which can be exchanged for gold and then become the source of the dinar.

Weapons can be no less lucrative than the salt, sugar, and spice trade.

The stone pass is very well reflected.

Those noble knights could only wear repaired chain mail, and when they saw the fine chain mail on the Salander riders, the military spears, the Salander swords, the Salander shields and other weapons and equipment, they were extremely envious, and even became ill-willed because of greed, and finally died under the close charge of the Salander riders and the desert bandits.

Well-made weapons and equipment are often hard currency, and they are strategic materials that are difficult to purchase even if they are paid!

This is true even for ordinary spears and short swords.

A weapon that can kill and injure enemies on the battlefield, and armor that can protect oneself on the battlefield, is a good thing.

Otherwise, Kant would not have had such a difficult time procuring arrows.

If it weren't for Baron Dylan, who was at the Solid Stone Pass, and felt that he still had to use Kant, it is estimated that a small number of weapons and longbows and feathered arrows would have been sent almost like flowers, even if they were of inferior quality, they would not have been given to him.

This represents an armed force that can go on the field and kill the enemy!

Only the name and the instrument can not be dummy, and the meaning is almost the same.

Kant understood this.

The castle-level building is now almost complete, and the remaining large cells have been upgraded at will, and this building for prisoners, spies, and enemies is not very useful.

It is arbitrarily arranged in the southeast corner of the military district that serves as the number of buildings.

However, the high-level watchtower is extremely effective.

This kind of high-level watchtower, which is nearly 6 meters wide and then built with stones, extends straight to 40 meters high, and has a top of about 1 meter, almost reaching the position of Kant's current perspective of God.

The view is extremely wide.

In sunny weather, well-lit and flat terrain, you can even faintly spot movement up to 10 kilometers away.

This level of vision can be called terrifying.

If you are equipped with a large telescope, you can see clearly even 20 kilometers.

It can be said that after the construction of this high-level watchtower, any enemy marching in the daytime will be discovered by the guards above in the shortest possible time, even at night, with the help of moonlight, a black and oppressive target can be found within 2 kilometers, which is different from the earthy yellow color of the Narun Desert.

With this high-level watchtower, the enemy will lose the possibility of sneak attacks!

This is because the Naren Desert is a relatively flat area where the height of the sand dunes is generally less than 5 meters.

Kant built this high-level watchtower next to the Consulate Hall, next to the large bell tower, and even extended to the Consulate Hall, and deliberately opened a portal at a position of 15 meters to connect the walls and roofs of the Consulate, so that the three buildings were completely connected into a whole, forming a three-grade observation perspective.

With the embodiment of the rules of the system.

The construction of all buildings is largely complete.

It is a miracle indeed.

Even when Kant saw the towering watchtower, the thick, tall, and well-structured city wall and arrow tower around him, he couldn't help but feel a little arrogant in his heart.

With the current castle defense, the enemy wants to attack?

Whimsical, perhaps!

Only today's "Drehem" castle can be said to truly stand in the Naren Desert.

The Sentry Oasis will not be afraid of enemy attacks!
