I’m Going Both Ways On Game Of Thrones

Jason Liu joked a few words about his tool man, and then asked Boris to take out a pen and paper and start listing the various materials needed to build Spark Harbor and Spark Fort.

The first is the accommodation of a large number of workers. Well, they have tents, which can be dealt with for a period of time.

However, it is still necessary to build the workers' houses as soon as possible. After all, although it is summer, it is still a little cold in the north at night.

Since the port and berth are to be built, in order to speed up the progress, Jason Liu intends to buy cement and steel bars from Hyundai and make them into reinforced concrete.

Fast and strong!

Anyway, the largest merchant ships in Westeros are only a few thousand tons, and the average ship can have a thousand tons.

Therefore, when the port and berth are built, the requirements are not too high, and it is more than enough to use reinforced concrete to repair.

Don't doubt the ability of the Westeros masons, simple things like reinforced concrete, at least a little bit of explanation, they can understand, and even do better than the average modern worker.

After all, these masons built magnificent stone castles without using reinforced concrete.

Building technology is really amazing!

The main body of the port and castle can be built with reinforced concrete, but a lot of masonry is needed.

Stones, there are no mountains on the shore of Lake Saylor, and there are not many large stones.

But you can dig clay from the lake and directly build a brick kiln to burn bricks.

Well, this way works!

As Jason Liu spoke, he asked Boris to write it down.

"By the way, Boris, are there any coal mines in the north?" Since he wanted to burn bricks, the first thing that Jason Liu thought of was coal, which is better than wood.

Hearing this, Boris was stunned, blinked his eyes, and couldn't help but ask, "Sir, what did you say?"

Seeing the puzzled expression on Boris's face, Jason Liu was also stunned and repeated, "I said, do you know where there are coal mines in the north? Coal is a black, stone-like thing that can be As firewood, we call this black flammable stone coal, you know?"

"Coal,,, coal?

Boris repeated this unfamiliar word, reached out and scratched Guangxiu's forehead, frowned and thought for a while, and finally shook his head, "Sorry, I'm sorry, maybe I don't know enough, but I've never heard of a kind of coal called coal. Yes, a black stone that can burn. I grew up in the Academy City, and spent seven or eight years in Winterfell, and I have never seen the kind of stone you call coal!"

"There's no coal in Westeros?"

Suddenly realizing something, Jason Liu's eyes widened suddenly, and he subconsciously patted his thigh with one hand. He finally remembered that no matter whether he watched the TV series or the original novel, coal never appeared in it.

Even, he spent more than half a year in Winterfell City, and he has seen people from the north cook and burn fire, and blacksmiths forge iron. It seems that they all use wood or charcoal, and he has never seen coal burning.

what happened?

Doesn't Westeros, or Game of Thrones, have no coal?

How can this be!

It stands to reason that this is the world of A Song of Ice and Fire created by the author, Mr. Martin, according to the standards of the earth. How could there be no such important resources as coal?

Maybe there are fewer coal mines in Westeros, and even some coal mines are buried deep underground and have not been discovered?

Some reluctance, Jason Liu, stared at Boris and smelled it again, "Hey, think about it, Boris, have you really never seen that kind of black stone that can be burned as wood?"

Boris looked at Lord Jason with strange eyes, and he couldn't bear to be stared at by the other party.

However, if he wanted to break Boris's head, he couldn't think of when he had seen or heard of such a black stone that could be used as firewood.

So, Boris replied again with a firm tone, "Yes, my lord, I'm sure, I really haven't seen the kind of coal you said, and even I can say that even the academy has nothing about that kind of coal. The record of the black stone. Since there is no academic city, it means that Westeros really does not have the kind of stone you mentioned.

Hearing Boris's affirmation, Jason Liu also had to accept that there are really no coal mines in Westeros, or there are very few coal mines, and they are buried deep underground and unknown.

Originally, I wanted to build a thermal power station, but if there is no coal, I would still build a hammer?

What,,, you said wood?

If you really can't find a substitute, the wood may barely be able to make do with it.

Since there is no coal in Westeros, why shouldn't there be no fossil fuels as important as oil?

"Oil?" Boris pondered another unfamiliar word spoken by Lord Jason.

Jason Liu described the characteristics of oil again.

After thinking about it carefully, Boris said in an uncertain tone, "When I was in the academy, I seemed to hear that in the desert on the Dorn side, someone dug into the ground and came out with a thick black and ugly liquid, It can be ignited with fire, but the smell is very smelly, but it is very similar to the oil you said, I am not sure if it is,

"Yes, it must be oil! Yes, there are deserts in Dorne, but there may be oil mines under the deserts, just like the desert in the Middle East, isn't it all oil?" Jason Liu heard that Dorne may be There is oil, can not help but be very happy.

Boris looked at the excited Master Jason with bewilderment, not knowing which desert he was referring to as the "Middle East desert".

Jason Liu said to himself, "It seems that when you meet a businessman from Dorne in the future, you should ask the other person if they know about oil. If you can get oil, even if there is no coal, thermal power plants can do it. stand up!"

What thermal power plant, Boris doesn't understand at all.

After Jason Liu wrote down this incident, he continued to list the matters concerning the construction of Xinghuo Port, Xinghuo and Fort.

"My lord, since you are going to use tens of thousands of people to build a port and a castle, then you must prepare the means of transport. The four-wheeled carriage of goods like the logging yard is very good, with a large volume and fast speed!

After speaking, Boris suggested, "You can get more of these freight carriages, and even if there are a lot of them, you can sell them to those merchants, and they will be very happy to buy them."

After hearing this, Jason Liu nodded immediately, "Yes, you are right, this kind of freight carriage does need to be made a little more, um, it can also be sold to merchants, after all, this carriage can carry more goods than their wooden carriage, Save effort."

"Write this down, Boris!"

The two planned one by one, the materials needed to build the port and the castle.

In the end, Boris filled several sheets of A4 paper. .
