Chapter 272. Aotearoa Blueprint (2)
Pyramid.
The architecture that everyone thinks of when they think of ancient Egypt.
When it comes to ancient wonders, the first thing everyone mentions is the architecture.
But in fact, pyramids were not unique to Egypt.
Although the time period is slightly different, there were quite a few pyramid-shaped buildings around the world.
‘Because of ancient technological constraints. Because construction technology is not developed. Because there is no light material compared to the strength of steel. In the end, we had no choice but to use stones, so as the building gets bigger, the load increases exponentially. There is no way to stably support the load. That’s why most of the large stone buildings in ancient times naturally took the shape of a pyramid.’
Pyramid-shaped buildings have a large area at the bottom.
The pointed top is relatively narrow and light.
The bottom is wide and heavy.
The top is narrow and light.
The center of gravity was extremely low and stable.
It was able to stably distribute the enormous load.
That was the reason why the great pyramids of Egypt skipped thousands of years and are still in good shape.
‘Thanks to that, there are quite a few pyramid-shaped buildings around the world that have been preserved. Chichen Itza of the Mayan civilization and the Pyramid of the Sun of Mexico. Like the Aztec Step Pyramid. Same with the Ziggurat of Ur. Or the Pyramid of Guimar in the Canary Islands of Spain. Also the tombs of ancient Chinese emperors. Even in Korea. General gun of Goguryeo.’
Goguryeo Janggunchong, the final version of the ancient red stone tomb.
Someone might say that putting this in the category of a pyramid is not a national idea.
However, obviously, in fact, the general gun was a kind of oriental pyramid.
‘Of course, the size difference between the Pyramid and the general’s gun is huge.’
But why did the general’s gun come to mind now?
Why did he think of the general’s gun while looking at the design of the jewel of truth that emerged like a hologram?
‘It has no choice but to be. They look so similar.’
Lloyd raised his eyes.
After twists and turns, the emerald statue was put into place.
The statue was floating a splendid hologram image underwater.
It was the design of the jewel.
However, the appearance of the blueprint was not unfamiliar.
Looking here and there, it was clear that the gun of Goguryeo and the pyramids of Egypt were properly mixed.
‘It was good that I was active in the traditional building club at school.’
Thanks to this, I was able to recognize the architectural styles of those old times relatively easily and in detail.
‘A river stone is laid in the foundation. Is the foundation granite? There are 7 stairs at the top. I see something similar to call analysis. There are also interlocking jaws that prevent the base from distorting under load. Besides, the stone chamber inside is just a parallel vaulted ceiling. An oyster-style stone chamber tomb. Then, in the jewel, isn’t that the burial chamber, but the place where the magic circle is activated?’
He carefully analyzed the design of the jewel with sharp eyes.
The more I looked at it, the more it looked like the Goguryeo general gun.
But in the meantime, the appearance of the hologram changed.
Chizuzuzuzu….
‘Hmm?’
Numerous dots appeared around the holographic blueprint.
Most of them were small dots like dust or fruit flies.
No, it wasn’t a point when I looked closely.
‘human? Mermaid? Oak?’
A lot of humans and mermaids fought.
A human knight and a mermaid army collided.
Orc fighters and elven archers intermingled and engaged in a melee.
In the meantime, giants ran amok and swept the surroundings.
‘It’s a war.’
However, it was different from a normal scale war.
Hell, where hundreds of thousands of troops of all races engaged in melee, was a spectacle itself.
As soon as I saw it, I knew what kind of war it was.
‘Mr. Rotorua did that before. The Gem of Truth was the most powerful treasure and weapon of ancient times. So everyone coveted and waged war. This is the war.’
A great war in which all races fought as enemies.
The appearance of the war that announced the end of the mythical age was being reproduced in front of my eyes as a hologram.
Raging warriors and splattering blood.
Finally, a fatal blow was dealt to the jewel.
There was no way to know who did it.
It was in the middle of a melee, so I didn’t even have time to argue or find out.
Eventually, the jewel collapsed.
The upper part collapsed and the stairs were crushed.
All parts except the foundation were thoroughly destroyed.
And it turned into spoils.
‘everyone…I’m taking the remnants of the jewel.’
Human knights and orc fighters.
Even elven archers and giant magicians.
Almost all forces that participated in the Great War rushed to take the jewel remnants like trophies.
In the meantime, quarrels and fights broke out again.
Stubbornness and stubbornness to take even one more piece.
It looked like a swarm of ants flocking to a large corpse.
With that, the hologram video ended.
Chizuzuzuzu….
The dots and lines that lavishly colored the air have disappeared.
Instead, only the dark sea water unique to the deep sea filled the vacancy.
But that was the moment.
Ding dong.
An unexpected beeping sound pierced my ears.
‘hmm?’
At this moment, what kind of notification sound is it all of a sudden?
A message began to appear in front of Lloyd’s eyes as he tilted his head.
[You activated the ‘Jewel of Truth Guide Statue’.]
[Following the guidance of the guide statue, you witnessed the destruction of the jewel.]
[In the process, you were able to observe the structure of the Jewel of Truth in detail. This experience of observation has had a great impact on your design skills.]
[The jewel of truth, ‘Aotearoa blueprint’, has been registered in the design skill data.]
‘What?’
Lloyd was startled.
Jewel of Truth, Aotearoa.
That blueprint was registered in the design skill?
This was the first time he had ever experienced something he hadn’t expected.
‘It was only possible if I surveyed or designed the design myself to bring in the blueprint with the design skill?’
Until now, it always has been.
Whether it’s bare land or a building.
In order to launch a blueprint into the design skill space, it was necessary to directly survey it unconditionally.
It was only after diligently collecting data without blinking with the momentum of getting dry eye syndrome that I was able to bring the blueprint to the virtual design space.
Or, it was possible only if you worked hard on the design all night, paying attention to even a single millimeter error.
But now?
‘oh my god.’
I just watched the hologram video once.
However, a message popped up saying that the blueprint of the jewel could be floated in the design space.
‘First of all, check. design.’
Lloyd immediately activated his design skills.
A virtual design space visible and recognized only to him appeared before him.
‘Load data. Blueprints of Aotearoa.’
will it really
I tried it just in case.
The reaction came right back.
[Load ‘Aotearoa Blueprint’.]
Whoa!
I wondered if the design space would brighten up for a moment.
Intricate dots and lines were carved into the space.
Broad and strong base and base.
Pyramid structure that goes up and slims down.
It was the same as the gem of truth that I saw through the hologram video earlier.
‘It’s real. That’s great.’
Lloyd unknowingly clenched his fists.
This wasn’t just a drawing in the design space.
‘When I zoomed in, the dimensions of each part, the type of material, the standard, and the combination method are all marked.’
And that wasn’t all.
Stress distribution, load, compressive force, axial force and bending moment, strain rate, temperature coefficient of expansion, and various other data.
Almost all the information needed for construction was marked.
It was literally the perfect design.
What if you only have this?
It seemed that restoration work could begin right now.
‘There’s just enough manpower. All you have to do is return the mermaids of the jjimjilbang guests to the restoration construction site and roll them. What materials and funds will go into the construction? I’ll have to ask the mermaid queen. Even in this precious mermaid society, it is a great treasure of the age of mythology. Because it’s a restoration project. I should be able to get enough support.’
The more I thought about it, the more my confidence soared.
How to prepare and start restoration construction.
What difficulties will arise during implementation and how to prevent and overcome them.
All calculations were made in an instant.
Besides, he was familiar with the structure of jewels.
‘Because it’s a pyramid-type gun. There was a time when I investigated Jeokseokchong or Janggunchong while working as a club. All you have to do is combine the materials you studied then with the blueprint you just got. I can do it.’
Fortunately, the structure of pyramid-shaped buildings such as Janggunchong was not that complicated.
Of course, it would require a process such as elaborate load distribution.
It wasn’t too difficult for a building.
‘thank god. There was a general gun in our country’s history. It just happened to be a pyramid-shaped structure.’
A general’s gun called the Pyramid of the Orient.
Of course, the size of the pyramids in Egypt was significantly different.
In terms of weight, it would be about the size of a mammoth and a puppy.
Still, the structure in the big frame was not significantly different.
What if the Egyptian pyramids were on the ancient Korean peninsula?
‘I wonder if people at the time called the Pyramid the Ultra Megaton General Gun. Ah, I didn’t know English at the time, so it might have been something like the general’s gun.’
In any case, it seemed that this construction would be easy thanks to the fact that he had come into contact with General Gun materials while participating in club activities.
But it was in the middle of that.
Below is a blueprint of a jewel floated in the virtual design space.
I saw a very small red message floating in a place I hadn’t paid attention to until now.
‘hmm? What is this?’
read the message
[Blueprint of Aotearoa]
[Status: Unable to construct. Core materials unsecured.]
[If construction is carried out unreasonably while core materials are unsecured, the original magic circle function of the Gem of Truth cannot be used.]
“…How come there is no easy way to go?”
Lloyd licked his bitter taste.
‘There must be a core material. It’s necessary for the jewel to work properly.’
What if you just build it?
What if you don’t use the core material?
It seemed obvious that it would be a replica that only imitated the shape of the gem.
‘That’s not allowed.’
Lloyd shook his head.
He is not a person who campaigns for the restoration of cultural assets.
To activate the gem somehow.
So, it was his purpose to prevent the restoration of fate.
‘Write. Then, where and how should I get the key materials?’
Lloyd grumbled and looked at the Aotearoa blueprints.
Maybe there is an answer in the blueprint.
Still, his thoughts were not wrong.
‘How many places are marked in red?’
Come to think of it, even the designs that were floated in the design space were a little strange.
Only certain parts were marked in red.
‘Where should I look?’
like clicking.
I pinched the parts marked in red with my fingers.
But there was no response.
No information emerged from the blueprint.
‘Is this not clickable?’
It was embarrassing.
He pressed every single spot marked in red.
In the meantime.
A certain part of the base part responded with a click.
It was a position corresponding to the good analysis of Goguryeo Janggunchong.
Ding dong.
[You have selected the first key material of the Jewel of Truth, ‘Tauranga’.]
[Would you like to view Tauranga’s information?]
[YES / NO]
‘Of course yes!’
He nodded vigorously.
That was the moment.
Hwaaak-!
As if invading the visual field.
Or like dreaming with your eyes open.
A new image appeared before my eyes.
‘Video record?’
It seemed that way.
Lloyd focused on the content of the video.
coo-! Whoop-!
A huge human, or giant, was landing on the beach.
There were 12 stones in the arms of such a giant.
Lloyd immediately recognized the stone’s identity.
‘Doesn’t that look like the core material of the base of the jewel that I pressed a while ago?’
After the jewel was destroyed, the materials became the spoils of each race.
Tauranga, the core material of the foundation, seemed to be the same.
‘It’s a giant.’
Lloyd narrowed his eyes.
The giant walked with the material.
A city was built on the bank of a river.
He decorated his palace with materials.
For a long time, humans were ruled like slaves.
Then the humans started a war of independence.
Long wars and tribulation struggles.
At the end, the giant fell.
The human world has come.
The leader of the humans destroyed the giant’s palace.
Tauranga, which adorned the palace, was also abandoned on the edge of the city.
Human cities have flourished for a long time.
Then, the king was chosen by the angry dragon.
The dynasty fell and a new dynasty came into being.
A new capital of the new dynasty was built.
At that time, 12 taurangas were written for the foundation of the new capital.
There was no particular reason.
The reason is that it is a large, well-polished, strong stone.
It was just because of it.
In other words, the people of the new dynasty did not know the identity of the 12 Taurangas at all.
It was like that too.
Because time has passed so quickly.
It is because the story of the mythical period has become an era where it is dismissed as a mere legend.
Thus, 12 Taurangas became part of the new capital.
Years have passed to this day.
the end of the video.
A royal castle where 12 Taurangas were used for foundation construction.
The video ended with the last thing showing the healthy and strong appearance.
“….”
After the video ended, Lloyd didn’t say anything for a while.
Instead of saying anything, I just let out a deep sigh.
The reason was simple.
The royal castle in the video he just watched.
A new capital made of 12 Taurangas.
It was because the building was so familiar to him.
“Whoa.”
Like a deep, thick beef bone broth.
A sigh of relief came out.
In addition, the lamentation and murmurings that flowed out were an option.
“Is this a true story? Why is the place where Tauranga is stuck…Is the king also the king of Magenta’s sister’s royal castle?”
