History of the Greatest Estate Design - Episode 309
309fury. Why we need dams (1)
“Bibbeong!”
This is the County of Frontera.
A peaceful estate at the foot of the Eastern Mountains.
In this territory, the alarm went off again today without fail..
It seems to shake the entire mountain range..
A loud roar woke everyone from their sweet sleep..
The farmers were preparing breakfast by tearing out their eyes, the bull in the barn was drooling as he waited for his morning food, and the rooster that was pecking at ants in the backyard was wondering, ‘Why doesn’t this guy know how to crow even though it’s morning? Without fail, I had to hear the gossip, ‘Is it because of Bibung?’.
As always, everyone was peaceful..
I started living an extremely ordinary life.
And Lloyd returned to his bedroom after a long time.…….
‘Peaceful daily life is a mess!’
As soon as I heard the alarm, I jumped out of bed..
I got up at the speed of light, put on my shirt and went out of the bedroom..
I went to the guest house, tidying up the new hair that had appeared overnight..
I woke up the Dragon King with a well-composed and powerful song..
After that, I had breakfast with the count and wife..
And started working right away.
‘of course. Where is there room to rest??’
Lloyd thought.
There was really no time to rest..
Now was not the time to relax..
‘After a lot of hard work, you finally gathered all the key materials. At best, we even concluded a contract with the Mermaid Queen to change the construction site. So now we must build a jewel of truth.’
We must prevent the restoration of fate..
But there are only about 2 years left..
Just thinking about it made me feel tight..
‘Because just building a jewel is not the end. The gem is simply a means to find the answer to preventing the restoration of fate..’
After finding the answer?
You will have to act according to the answer..
Perhaps the answer would require an enormous amount of effort and time..
So, he thought, he should never relax now..
“……So, are you climbing the mountain like this in the morning to hasten the construction of the jewel?.”
“uh. of course. Then did you think I had a hobby of hiking?.”
Habiel suddenly climbed the eastern mountains together..
Lloyd grinned at the guy's grumbling..
Javiel frowned..
“yes. I suddenly wondered why you were climbing a mountain. If you wanted to climb Mt. Jeong, you could have easily flown in on Sir Coming..”
“Yeah, it's not like I haven't thought about that either..”
“But why do you have to walk like this to climb the mountain?.”
“I'm feeling sick, Kkomin..”
“…….”
“Really. Ppodongi, Bangpoongi, and even Hamangi are all suffering from group trouble. You've been wandering around here and there with no time to rest, right?.”
Lloyd's smile turned into a bitter smile..
What I just said was true..
Was it yesterday evening?.
Starting with Podong, the phantom species began to groan..
It doesn't hurt too much, but I have a slight fever..
He was whining about muscle pain..
It was body aches..
“Well, I guess so. Everyone has worked so hard and suddenly found themselves in a comfortable place..”
“Something like that. I guess I'm relaxed.”
“So Lloyd, are you okay?.”
“uh. As you can see. There's a lot to do.”
Of course.
It's not time to relax yet.
So no need to get sick.
But Javiel’s eyes turned slightly pale when he looked at me..
“Then, what made me follow Lloyd and climb the mountain with him this morning?.”
“I don't know why yet?”
“yes.”
“I just brought you here.”
“…….”
“I'm bored. If you climb a mountain alone.”
“…….”
“Again, again. That's how I open my eyes. This is all for your consideration..”
“What do you mean by consideration?.”
“The air is good here.”
“By the way?”
“Think about it. When I visited Seoul recently. There is another dimension, right? The air there was really terrible? right?”
“I did, but.”
“That's why I brought you here this morning. Wash out my lungs.”
“……Rather, just say that you brought it here because you were bored, as per the first answer..”
“Yeah, that means I brought it here because I was bored..”
“……I can't even hit you, just.”
“huh?”
“no.”
“I heard everything?”
“Why do you listen to people’s sincerity without permission?.”
“Wow, I'm serious. Watch me reveal my violent wishes naturally.”
“Everyone lives with at least one true hope and desire in their heart..”
“Tsk. Like that. Anyway, it's all here. Whoa.”
While chatting with Haviel.
We arrived at our destination before we knew it..
I climbed the last hill in front of me..
Then my vision cleared up..
The mysterious sight of a vast mountain lake filled my eyes..
The place where Bibyeongi once came to work on waterworks and where Bibyeong was sleeping..
It was Lake Capua..
‘Wow, this brings back memories..’
It's been a while since I came up, and past events came back to me..
But now I'm here to work.
Lloyd gave strength to his eyeballs..
‘survey!’
Tsutsutsutsu!
[Start scanning.]
The terrain around Lake Capua was surveyed with a familiar message..
It was converted into data and began to be registered as a design space..
Of course, I have measured this place before..
Any slight topographical changes that may have occurred during that time had to be checked..
‘Moreover, this time we have to check all the underwater terrain..’
Lloyd took off his boots and jacket..
“I'll take a look inside the lake. You play here... … Don’t lose, just hold your ground and sit back..”
“I'm sitting there holding my head?”
Javiel asked curiously..
Lloyd snorted..
“This body is working so hard that it even has to splash in the water, so you have to pay attention to your surroundings. Don't you think that way you can protect me? is not it?”
“Hmm, why do I feel like I'm being grumpy because I'm being unfair to him for trying to work alone?.”
“……no it's not. It's speculation.”
“All right. I will follow your instructions and play hard..”
“……Sheesh, you mean bastard..”
“Who has something to say to whom?.”
I jumped into the lake, listening to the guy's whiny reply..
with a plop!
Fortunately, the lake water had very low turbidity..
Thanks to this, I was able to see quite far away even without goggles..
‘Let's see. Where should I build a jewel?.’
Infinite diving with underwater breathing option.
Lloyd looked at the bottom of the lake with a worried face..
Since it was flat, there were quite a few good places to build underwater buildings..
‘It is said that the Jewel of Truth only works properly in flowing water..’
Suddenly, I remembered what happened the previous day..
Was it after completing the contract with the Mermaid Queen?.
Before leaving their kingdom, the queen asked them to.
The jewel of truth must be built in flowing water..
Whether it's a sea with currents.
Or a river or a lake.
It has to be somewhere where there is a flow of water somehow..
They said it wouldn't work properly in other places..
‘I also checked it myself..’
It was because of the queen's request..
Last night, before going to sleep, I laid in bed and turned on my design skills..
I imported the Jewel of Truth data into the design space and examined it..
As expected, what the Mermaid Queen said was true..
I was able to find a notice written in the precautions during construction that said, ‘It must be built in water with a current at a depth of 70 meters or more to operate properly.’.
‘In this area, the only environment with a depth of over 70 meters and water flow is Lake Kapua..’
The Prona River that runs through the territory was not that deep..
This was the only place that met the water depth conditions..
Lloyd's eyes became cautious as he observed the bottom of the lake..
‘Let's see. The floor here is flat and stable... … Hmm, the water is flowing too strong as it drains. There is more current than it looks. Then you are eliminated. That… … Everything is good, but the ground is a bit unstable so it looks like it will take some work. The best place, considering all the conditions, is, yes, this place..’
I think we splashed around for about an hour..
Lloyd finally discovered the optimal site for jewel construction..
‘Then check the next order.’
Data on the construction site was transferred to the design space..
The design data of the jewel was overlaid on the topographical space created in this way..
Totootoottotoon.-!
A jewel of truth was built in a virtual simulation space..
Lloyd's majesty was revealed at the construction site selected by Lloyd's..
‘good. It's straight and pretty. The water depth requirement of 70 meters is also sufficiently filled. The flow speed is calm and appropriate. Unless there is a very severe drought, the depth of the water here will never go below 70 meters. Well then, let’s test it out and see how it works..’
After building the jewel in the simulation space, my curiosity arose..
What will the completed Jewel of Truth look like when it is in operation?.
Out of curiosity, I touched the jewel's design data..
Fortunately, there was a 'virtual operation' menu..
chose that.
[Activate the Jewel of Truth in simulated space.]
The moment a message comes to mind.
The Jewel of Truth emits enormous waves in the simulation space..
Throwing a bet-!
“……!”
A shock wave like a large bomb exploded was created at the top of the jewel..
Shock waves spread underwater.
transmitted vibrations.
There were waves on the surface of the water.
But the height of the wave reached a whopping 60 meters..
The speed of the wave was even more terrifying..
Like a high-speed train speeding by.
Rushed towards the edge of Lake Capua.
Bibyeong easily crossed the natural dam barrier at the edge of the lake that was built when the lake was created..
No, part of the natural dam barrier was completely torn down..
And it poured straight down the mountain..
Without hesitation.
Like an angry wrath.
Hitting the valleys and canyons.
By plowing down the entire mountainside,.
They trampled the terraced farmland and coal mines at the foot of the mountain..
Finally, the entire peaceful territory was swept away by a huge torrent..
But that territory was the County of Frontera..
‘What is this…….’
Lloyd's eyes widened in shock..
He turned off the simulation option.
What does what you just saw mean?.
What will happen if a gem is built and operated here at Lake Capua?.
It was because I realized it so clearly..
‘Wow. driving me crazy.’
A deep sigh came out of my mouth..
On the one hand, I felt relieved.
‘It was a good idea to run the simulation in advance out of curiosity. Otherwise... … Ugh, I don't even want to think about it..’
My shoulders suddenly trembled..
I thought all that was left was to build the Jewel of Truth..
So, I looked into what kind of location would be good as if I was speculating on land..
I had no idea that such huge waves and waves would occur when the gem was activated..
‘Then what should I do?.’
I got embarrassed.
I only saw it once.
The waves generated when the gem operates were no joke..
The resulting waves were jaw-droppingly large..
‘It's a miniature version of the Byont Dam accident in Italy..’
1963A large-scale sediment collapse occurred in a dam reservoir in Italy in.
A large amount of soil collapsed due to a landslide and poured into the reservoir..
As a result, a huge tsunami occurred..
crossed the dam barrier.
Nearby villages beneath the dam were swept away..
It was a shocking incident that resulted in thousands of deaths..
But if we build the Jewel of Truth here at Lake Capua,?
‘You won't be able to avoid that. Moreover, from what I saw earlier, the height of the waves was no joke. At that rate, even if you build a dam somewhere on Lake Capua, it won't be able to prevent water damage..’
The conclusion was clear.
‘They say you shouldn't build a jewel in this lake..’
A deeper sigh flowed out..
I got embarrassed.
‘Tsk. Then what should I do? The depth of the Prona River is far short. Even if you dig deep into the ground and pour water in to create a reservoir, it would not meet the construction conditions because there would be no water flow. Then should I look for a lake in another region? I don't like that. At best, I ended up concluding a contract with the Mermaid Queen and building a jewel in her territory. I really don't want to build something this precious on someone else's land..’
In that case, it would be a hundred times better to build it in the mermaid kingdom..
At that thought, my worries deepened..
My worries deepened as I came down the mountain with Haviel..
‘What should I do with this?.’
Huge waves and waves are generated..
An unexpected difficulty arose..
Even after returning to the mansion.
send haviel away.
Leaning on the bed.
I was lost in thought the whole time, just staring at the wall across from me..
‘Should I build a wall on the lakeside to block the waves? Then there won't be any damage. no. For that to happen, the walls have to be extremely high and strong. Besides, you can't build a wall in just one place. It has to be built in a circle around the edge of a part of the lake..’
Lake Capua was a mountain lake of as large a size as Chuncheon Lake..
But if you have to build a wall to prevent the lake from overflowing,?
Even if it is only a part of the section.
My estimate was that it would be more than a few kilometers..
‘This is ridiculous. How can they build a wall several kilometers long to block waves as high as 60 meters? How thick does it have to be to withstand its own weight and the impact of waves?.’
It seemed like it would be an overly large project..
Even the realism was extremely low..
The chances of the wall remaining stable seemed even more remote..
‘That method doesn't work. Eliminated without a choice.’
I crossed out an x on the plan I drew in my mind..
After that, Lloyd continued to worry..
How long was it like that?.
After lunch.
The afternoon sun faded.
Finally, the red sunset evening has come.
I also heard the maid Emily's knock..
Knock knock.
“Master Lloyd? Excuse me. It's Emily.”
“Uh, what's going on?.”
“I came to pick up the laundry. Can I come in?.”
“Yes, come in.”
As soon as I could give an answer, the door burst open..
Emily came in with a bright smile on her face..
“Hello, Master Lloyd. Please excuse me for a moment.”
“Yes, good work.”
Still leaning on the bed.
I stared at Emily at work..
Of course, in my head, I was only thinking about the construction site for the treasure..
But was it because I was conscious of this blank stare?.
Emily, who was about to pack up the laundry, blushed..
In a bit of a panic, I opened my mouth to speak gibberish..
“Uh, um, I'll wash it so it's nice and clean. This and the shirt. pants too.”
“Yes, thank you.”
“Well, my laundry skills have improved a lot these days..”
As if I was embarrassed, I held the laundry basket and twisted my whole body..
Emily said while looking at the floor..
“Before, I just patted the laundry hard and rinsed it. I don't even look at my surroundings. In particular, I don't look at the other maids who are sitting above me..”
“Top water? another maid?”
“yes.”
Is this response welcome?.
Emily smiled softly..
“No matter how hard I washed the clothes and rinsed the shirts, it was of no use if the lye water was released from above at a different beat than mine..”
“Hmm, well. I guess so. Detergent… … No, because if the lye seeps out, you'll have to rinse it all over again..”
“Yes, that's right.”
Emily said with a bit of excitement at this side's rebuttal..
“So these days, I have a knack for working well with other maids. Thanks to this, I can wash my shirts much faster and more beautifully than before. It's all thanks to observing the flowing water above..”
“It's like looking at the situation above. That's right. Top water… … Upstream... … uh? wait for a sec.”
Lloyd paused..
I was in the middle of a soulless retort to Emily's words..
Something flashed.
Twinkle in my head.
started to hover.
‘Top water. Upstream. flowing. Then, wait a minute. downstream?’
Suddenly.
he was up.
Lower lip twitching.
Without realizing it, I stride through the bedroom..
I thought more deeply about the concept I just came up with..
Thinking about it, thinking about it, looking into it.
Measuring, predicting, remembering.
finally got the answer.
“……This is it. thank you!”
“yes? yes?”
I happily held hands with Emily..
I ran wild for a while..
And before Emily could come out of her confusion, she stormed out of the bedroom..
I passed through the hallway without hesitation..
I walked downstairs.
I rushed into a family restaurant..
Just then, I saw Count Frontera, who was about to have dinner..
As soon as I saw the count, I made a request..
“I'm thinking of building a gravity dam downstream of the Prona River..”
