Chapter 433 Calculus, what’s so difficult about it?
Duchy of Tis, Blood Harbor.
Now the entire Blood Harbor has almost completely changed.
Yami, holding a bag in his hand, looked at the newly fenced-off construction sites on both sides of the road and couldn't help but sigh.
He has been taking classes these days.
At first it was a literacy class, but after just a few days I was pulled into a new course.
It was said that the course was related to his talent for counting, but he really couldn't sense it.
If I have to say, things like geometry are more like painting, very boring. Only calculus is somewhat fun.
The one who taught him was a dark-haired boy. He was very young, but he knew everything. Yami later found out that he was the lord of Castel.
To be honest, Yami was a little curious as to why this lord was not in his own territory but came from Castel to Blood Harbor instead - Yami asked him directly, and Zeus's answer was that he was here to assist in the construction.
This answer is so convincing. The construction of Blood Harbor has almost never stopped.
First, there is the dock. The former Blood Harbor naturally had an old dock as a port, but unfortunately it was completely destroyed in the rebellion of the Mother Goddess Church.
I heard that the final battle took place at the dock, and a giant beast flying in the sky plowed the land with bombs.
Other places can still be considered ruins, but the dock was directly blown into a huge pit.
Blood Harbor is a port, and the docks always need to be rebuilt. Yami thought that he could find a job here after finishing literacy classes in the future, but it turned out that he was overthinking.
The reconstruction of the entire dock was completed in just half a month.
The people of Blood Harbor watched in amazement as the dock was completed and bags of mortar were delivered - oh, Castel called this concrete.
They wove iron bars into a frame, beat wood into a crude mold, and then poured in the mixed concrete, and it was done.
Mia felt a little absurd. This looked not much more complicated than building a castle with mud, but the mud was surprisingly hard after solidifying.
After the dock was built, there seemed to be endless cargo ships coming to Castel, with all kinds of goods being shipped there every day.
It was from then on that Blood Harbor became increasingly unfamiliar.
Yami sighed and put down the book in his hand. It was a set of "Complex Functions" given to him by the lord. Although he didn't know what it was used for, it looked quite interesting. He would occasionally read it as a pastime.
I heard that Miss Zoe also likes to read books, but those are novels. I don’t know what novels are, but they should be something similar.
Yami lay down on the bed, relaxed, and began to slowly think about the future.
In the past, he just wanted to earn some money from the literacy class and find a job after he recovered his health, but this plan has only been implemented in the first step and cannot be pushed forward.
The food in the literacy class is so delicious. According to the lord. Well, it is the lord of Castel. In the future, he will open advanced classes in Blood Harbor to teach some more difficult knowledge.
What would more difficult knowledge look like? Yami couldn't imagine it. He hadn't seen any difficult knowledge yet. He would go to class every day and then have a meal. He felt his will was gradually sinking.
"Yami, Yami, you can't do this, you have to plan for the future!"
Well, speaking of the future, it seems that Castel is planning to build some big things in Blood Harbor. With the dock as the center, there are fences everywhere. That is the construction site cordoned off by Castel’s people.
It is said that a factory is going to be built.
Yami didn't know what a factory was. He heard the word from the prince. He showed his support for Castel in almost every occasion and publicly hanged several gang members who went to the construction site to cause trouble.
The construction of the factory will take some time. Yami estimates that he will have finished his literacy class by then and will not be able to eat for free.
Are we going to the factory? Although he had no idea what a factory was, he would have to do hard labor. The thought of this gave Yami a headache. He was not strong, and he didn't know if they wanted him.
So what to do?
Oh, I almost forgot, in addition to the factory, the Castells are also building railway tracks.
I heard from Grandma Penny next door that this kind of thing exists in the Rhine. It is a fixed track laid on the road, and horse-drawn carriages can run on it. It is called a tram.
The specific principle of the track is taught in the literacy class. It is really very simple. It is just about letting the wheels press on the two steel bars.
But the wheels can still move if they just press on the ground, so why do we have to build that extra railway?
This is what Yami doesn't know. The advantage of rails is that even if you don't use a steam locomotive, using a horse-drawn carriage is still quite great.
The rails reduce rolling resistance by 80% compared to horse-drawn carriages on dirt roads, and a single horse can pull a 10-ton carriage, while an ordinary horse-drawn carriage only weighs 2 tons.
This can greatly save animal power and facilitate the transportation of large quantities of goods. Only in the Rhineland, where industry was initially developing, was there such a need for horse-drawn trams.
Another important issue is that the road conditions in cities are generally very bad.
This was a common problem in many European and American countries in the 19th century. Roads paved with stone slabs or gravel were better, but those dirt roads were a disaster for public transportation vehicles. The deep grooves and ruts pressed by the wheels became obstacles to traffic. In summer, the avenues were dusty, and in the rainy season, they were muddy and vehicles could not move. In winter, it was icy and snowy, the canals were frozen and closed, the roads were bumpy, the snow was deep and the roads were slippery, and horse-drawn carriages could not pass.
Therefore, the first thing Caster did in Blood Harbor was to build infrastructure.
Currently, the road to Blood Harbor is also under rapid construction. This does not conflict with the railway. Railways are the best solution under harsh road conditions. Castel dismantled a railway into multiple sections, constructed them at the same time, and finally connected them together.
The steam locomotive has not yet arrived, and the residents of Blood Harbor still don't know what kind of huge machine will be passing on the tracks.
In addition to construction sites, there are also various job openings, many of which are confusing.
For example, Nini’s newspaper office in Blood Harbor.
Speaking of Nini, Yami has complicated feelings.
The Banshees are a completely inhuman race. They are so tall that they can just reach out and pick up a rock that a group of people cannot lift. Many residents of Blood Harbor are afraid of them.
It seemed that only the Castells truly regarded them as one of their own kind.
Although the lord repeatedly promoted that they were friends of Blood Harbor, and many people saw Nini's heroic battle with [Mother], most people still found it difficult to accept.
After all, the Holy See has taken root in Blood Harbor for many years, and they have always been promoting the idea that alien races are only enemies and are all monsters.
Fortunately, now that the Holy See is gone, Blood Harbor is no longer the same Blood Harbor as before.
