The so-called fortress-style manor that Shi Lei wanted to build must be the circular earthen building that he had been thinking about for a long time. We all know that with the same circumference, the area of ​​the circle is larger than the area of ​​the square, and the defense of the circle is also stronger than that of the square. In this case, Shi Lei has no reason not to choose a circular earthen building.

Moreover, among the many earthen buildings that can still be preserved in later generations, the number of rounds is the most preserved and the most complete. This well demonstrates the defense and survival ability of this earthen building, which can stand for thousands of years without falling, and has also experienced several famous war periods in history, which is enough to show how powerful this building itself is.

Moreover, Shi Lei can also draw a lot of useful points from the many earthen buildings in later generations. Many details reflect the wisdom of his ancestors in architecture. These are the most mature and most applicable essence points after countless years of summary and evolution. Shi Lei can use it directly, which is equivalent to natural ones with hundreds of years of experience. The earthen buildings designed can better meet Shi Lei's needs.

Therefore, when facing professionals such as Shenxing and those who are considered construction experts, Shi Lei can still talk freely and speak well. Even Shenxing and others will keep nodding and act like being taught.

Shi Lei mainly talks about the success of those earthen buildings, and he just needs to express his ideas. The specific implementation and real design must be done by these professionals, and he is just talking.

The roof of this earthen building is generally chosen as a "man"-shaped structure, with the wider side facing outward. This is to deal with the rainy weather in the south, to cover as much rain as possible, and to prevent rainwater from seeping into the walls built by rammed soil.

This raw earth wall is strong and tough, and can even withstand great strength of attacks from far and near, and has a considerable tolerance to fire. The only bad thing is that it is afraid of water.

In order to make up for this regret, in addition to the design of the roof and fully considering the waterproofing needs, the foundation part below is often built with stones and a stone wall two or three meters high is used as the foundation. Even if it is flooded, it is not afraid of being soaked.

At the same time, the earth wall on the lower floor will be particularly thicker, and the higher the wall, the thinner it will be. This not only takes into account the load-bearing needs, but also fully meets the requirements of defense. Moreover, for ordinary earthen buildings, there are no windows on the first and second floors, which can prevent theft in normal times, but also assume the role of the city wall in wartime.

The windows are about to be opened from the third floor. It is still a unique structure with a large outside and a small inside. The slope-shaped windowsill ensures better lighting and has a little defensive effect. This thing is not easy to climb. In addition, the walls on the upper floor are thin and easy to pull, which is a design that can kill multiple birds with one stone.

And there is no glass now? Installing glass windows will not affect the lighting, but also have a certain anti-theft effect.

Friends who lived in the countryside in the early years should also have an impression that this kind of adobe house has another great advantage, that is, it is warm in winter and cool in summer. If reasonable door and window design can be added, the house will always be filled with mild wind, whether it is a hot summer or a cold day, without the help of air conditioning, the house can still be of suitable temperature. This is also an important reason why Shi Lei can obviously afford the fortress built with all stones, but still chooses to use three-mix soil to build it.

In addition, it is actually considered the overall strength of the building. Don’t think it’s strange. In the era without cement, buildings built with stone may not necessarily be stronger than those built with soil. The famous three-dimensional soil may not be worse than those built with ordinary cement.

In addition, during the construction of the main building, many tough bamboo strips often have to be placed in the soil. The bamboo is difficult to pull and break, and it has a considerable elasticity. If there is a certain placement rule, plus the three-piece soil, it is a reinforced concrete structure. Is there any more to say about the strength?

Moreover, the overall structure of the circular structure has a certain tensile resistance, so this circular earth building has strong earthquake resistance. The earth building that has been preserved in later generations has experienced many baptisms of earthquakes of large and large. Isn’t it still standing still? This is a clear proof.

In order to further evolve towards the fortress in Shi Lei's mind, Shi Lei also put forward some special small requirements, such as leaving enough shooting holes, a strong enough, and using hydraulic power to control the opening and closing mechanism.

There must also be devices similar to the Dragon Broken Stone, which can seal the entire gate when necessary to provide sufficient time for personnel retreat. Of course, this requires that there must be enough secret passages in the earthen building to facilitate large-scale retreat of people living inside.

I believe that these requirements are not a difficult problem for being cautious, because this guy is doing this. He is an absolute authoritative expert in this regard. His previous authentic construction has fully demonstrated his top talent in this regard.

Finally, there are requirements for life. A real fortress must be able to achieve self-sufficiency so that it can still resist the most resolutely without worrying about the most basic food and drink problems that cannot be solved.

The first floor of this earthen building is not suitable for living considering the lighting, wall thickness, and possible humidity. However, it is still very suitable to use as a warehouse, which can ensure that you have sufficient material reserves. The earthen building built by Shi Lei is not small in size, and these warehouses will be very capable of installing.

Moreover, Shi Lei would also require that while introducing external living water, he should also have his own well to ensure that even if all water sources are cut off, everyone still has water available.

The second floor is the real place to live. The large terrace opens inwardly, which is not only a common walkway for everyone, but also a place to dry clothes. It can not only meet the lighting needs, but also ensure that there is enough room for activity in rainy days, so you don’t have to be stuck in the house all the time.

In the middle of a circle of houses, there is also a huge open space. Shi Lei plans to use a corridor and a shed to cover the space under the patio, build a ancestral hall, or simply use it as a martial arts training ground, which is a good choice.

He had always lived in a place with unreasonable rain in Yazhou, which made him fully realize the necessity of Cao Peng. Since he didn't plan to become a mud monkey at any time, he would make himself live under the roof as much as possible, it became a necessary preparation.

As for the specific terrain choice, Shi Lei will not discuss it. Whether it is fostering Feng Shui or considering that the terrain can better meet Shi Lei's needs, it is a professional field of caution, so Shi Lei doesn't have to worry about it.

After conveying his meaning to the position, Shi Lei can successfully retire. In terms of specific design and subsequent construction, Shen Xing and the senior contractors he led were responsible for, that is, authentic construction, and Shi Lei needs to think about it more.

After the construction is really started, he has to pay attention to distinguishing the people who can truly trust, and then reform the secrets who have been staying in Guangzhou, so that he can hand over the authentic excavation work to these hard-working and hard-working old families.

Shi Lei said, gestures and drawing pictures, but it didn't take much time in total. You can just look at the appropriate location and don't know how many places you have to go to. Otherwise, you can just move your mouth and run your legs below. However, Shi Lei has now become the one who moves his mouth.

I have to say that this feeling is really good! Shi Lei has become more and more enjoying the feeling of being so busy that his subordinates are busy, but they still have to thank the head of the family for their trust. It is difficult for Shi Lei to not fall into depravity.

After finishing the matter at the Tulou, Shi Lei hurried to the shipyard, threw gold and silver into his magnificently, and put all the semi-finished ocean-going cargo ships into his hands. There were also several craftsmen and masters who came here, and several of them had their own opinions on shipbuilding.

According to them, these ships are obviously supported by the technical support accumulated by the Dou family over the years, and the materials are also very solid. Therefore, if these large ships can be built strictly according to the original design, this technical level will definitely be at the leading level in the Tang Dynasty.
