Chapter 513: Site Selection at Jiandao Mountain
The entire Leiyan Territory is mostly plains and hills, and the highest place should belong to Qingqiu, which has not yet stabilized. Among the rolling hills of Qingqiu, there is a small hill with a height of about 500 meters.
This hill was named Fox Mountain by Russell.
"Is the observatory going to be built here, sir?" Sullivan followed Russell and his party up Fox Mountain breathlessly.
Fox Mountain, which has been around for less than half a year, is already full of weeds and small trees.
"Let's investigate first." Russell put his hands behind his back, paced in the void, and led a group of people to slowly appreciate the scenery of Fox Mountain.
However, Fox Mountain has no scenery, no trees have grown, and the shape of the mountain has no characteristics. It looks extremely mediocre overall.
"If we build an observatory here, the biggest disadvantage is that the transportation is not convenient enough. The distance from Chishui Town to here is too far, and there is no plan to build a road here in a short time." Charles, who was accompanying him, said.
"This is indeed a problem." Russell nodded.
Then he sighed and said, "If we don't build the observatory on Fox Mountain, there won't be any good place in Thunder Flame Territory."
"Actually, flat land is fine, sir." Sullivan said.
"It still has to be built on the mountain. The higher the terrain, the less impact on the astronomical telescope." Russell glanced at the sky and said, "Observing the stars should be as precise as possible. You know, if there is any interference, the observation error will be huge."
Russell set the tone.
Charles thought for a while and said, "Sir, why not build the observatory in Youguang Territory? With your status, there is no difference between Youguang Territory and Thunder Flame Territory. The Sharp Knife Mountain in Youguang Territory is much higher than Fox Mountain, and it is more convenient to transport materials from Youguang Town."
"Then go to Sharp Knife Mountain for inspection." Russell waved his hand.
Sullivan and others couldn't keep up with his speed, so he went to Sharp Knife Mountain alone. Sharp Knife Mountain is a mountain range running from north to south.
In the past, this place was a barrier to resist the snowfield. Now after the resonance of the warm land, Sharp Knife Mountain has become an obstacle between the two territories. Fortunately, Russell swung his sword and smashed the Jiandao Mountain, opening a smooth road.
After some investigation.
Not far from the asphalt road, a hill with an altitude of about 800 to 900 meters attracted Russell's attention.
"The terrain of this hill is very flat. It is very suitable for building a house if it is polished, and there is a small path to the mountain nearby." Landing on the hill, Russell was very satisfied with it, "Let me transform it."
The sword butterfly mark on the palm of his left hand flickered.
A silver-white meteor butterfly sword was already in his hand.
The secret sword of thunder and the secret sword of wind quietly bloomed on this tree-lined hill.
The originally flat hill has become a small square after a while.
"Not bad, build an observatory here. When I have nothing to do, I can come here to stay for a night and enjoy the view of the vast starry sky." At that moment, Russell decided to build an observatory on this unnamed hill in the Jiandao Mountains.
The name is Jiandao Mountain Observatory.
"Observatory?" After communicating with the fluorescent mushroom family, Uncle Rosen was in charge of supervising the construction. He was very surprised, "Why build this?"
The humans of Longmian Continent are too obsessed with the snowfield.
There is basically no exploration of the starry sky, the depths of the earth, and the sea that has never been seen.
Russell was too lazy to explain too much, just smiled gently: "Just think of it as a hobby of mine, uncle."
"Well, okay." Uncle Rosen easily accepted this reason, "Although this hobby is a bit expensive, you are obviously qualified. I will supervise the construction of Jiandaoshan Observatory."
"Thanks, uncle."
"We are all family, why are you being polite."
Russell nodded: "By the way, uncle, I plan to hire you as a diplomat of Leiyan Territory. While you are helping Fluorescent Castle with foreign affairs, you can also help my Cigar Castle with foreign affairs."
"Aren't I already helping you?" Uncle Rosen smiled.
He has been in charge of welcoming and seeing off guests at the Fluorescent Castle. After Russell was knighted, he had no one to use, so he helped with the welcoming and seeing off.
"I was helping before, but now I want to formally appoint you, uncle." Russell said with a smile, "When Royal and Royal grow up, let Royal come to help me, and Royal will stay to inherit your manor."
Royal is Uncle Rosen's eldest son, and Royal is the second son.
Hearing this, Uncle Rosen's eyes lit up: "Haha, good, Royal is already fifteen years old, and will soon graduate from his career as a squire in the Volcano Oasis. When he graduates, I will immediately let him follow you and help you do things."
Four years ago, Uncle Rosen was going to send Royal to be a squire, that is, to learn from a knight.
At that time, he asked Russell, but Russell felt that he was still young, so he did not agree.
Then Uncle Rosen sent Royal to the Volcano Oasis to be a squire under a duchy lord. The learning career of a squire usually ends before adulthood, and after adulthood, he will begin his true knightly career.
"Okay." Russell responded.
So Uncle Rosen happily applied to become a diplomat of the Thunder Flame Territory, and the future of his two sons was guaranteed.
Not to mention the long-term, at least his sons can still be among the nobles.
Unlike many descendants of lords, they do not have enough merits and cannot inherit the family foundation, and eventually become a poor man like Charles.
Leave the construction of Jiandaoshan Observatory to Uncle Rosen and Scholar Sullivan. Russell doesn't have time to watch it every day.
At the end of August.
The first season of magic tobacco has been harvested. At the same time, the swamp transformation project on Lei Ze has also been officially completed.
Yunmeng Lake, which covers an area of about 100 square kilometers, has been officially completed.
In addition, in conjunction with the canal project of Yunmeng Lake, the Yunmeng Canal, which runs through the entire Lei Ze, has also been completed at the same time.
In addition, Yunmeng Ranch has also been completed halfway, and a large number of war horses have been invested to graze. In the future, Yunmeng Ranch will continue to expand to graze more war horses and increase the probability of war horses evolving into horse-like dragons.
"After more than half a year of transformation, Lei Ze has also changed its appearance." Baron Roman stepped on the grass of Yunmeng Ranch and sighed.
For the ideal horse-like dragon and pseudo-unicorn dragon, he has paid a lot.
Because the entire Lei Ze transformation project was done by him, and all the money spent was the property of Fluorescent Castle.
Russell reaped the benefits.
"We will soon see whether these war horses can move forward." Russell said with a smile, "Father, you are reluctant to contract the fourth fantasy beast, is it just to wait for the birth of the pseudo-unicorn dragon on this grassland?"
"Not really, if I could find a pseudo-dragon heir of the fantasy beast, I would have found it long ago." Baron Roman spread his hands.
The pseudo-dragon heir of the fantasy beast is too difficult to find.
Russell said: "In fact, father, if you can't wait for the pseudo-unicorn dragon, you can still wait for the pseudo-harpy dragon. I have released a lot of owls in Qingqiu, and also brought a few pseudo-owl dragons from the cold spring point of Green City Garden."
It is still unknown whether Lei Ze can evolve the war horses into pseudo-dragon heirs.
But Qingqiu can definitely allow owls to evolve into pseudo-dragon heirs, and the pseudo-owl dragons at the cold spring point of Green City Garden are proof of this.
