-first i need some unit of measure. Lets see-she open scroll with general knowledge about commerce-acha. I remember it right. They have inches, feets and yards and so on, and they can’t agree about standardization. Oh well-she smiles-time for something that upset a lot of people. I want an oak bar of a length that is the average length of all the lengths of one yard excluding the kingdoms on the side of evil gods-surprisingly it takes a few moments before it materializes-uff. For a moment i started thinking that i broke something-next she carefully divided its length by 3, and then shorter length by 12-good. Now I have my personal dungeon yard, foot and inch. It should be enough for the first floor.

-next i need a map of the oasis- a bird's eye view of her house appeared before her. In the center was a statue of goddess, next to it was a pond, and here and there some palm trees and bushes. Naturally everywhere was sand, lots of sand-nice start. Show me a grid based on my personal yard. Zoom in and out-she trays-good, it works. Time for some simcity.

-lets see. Underground Oasis is interesting, but it has a Diune vibe. I like this book but it's a little depressing. The tower is tempting and I agree with god that it could work like a lighthouse. It’s true that I have an idea how to build tall but it will have the Tower of Babel feel, especially that i will need to build higher and higher. So yes I will stick with my first plan. "Arabian Nights".

First statue was surrounded by a platform in the shape of a circle and radius 1.5 yards. It was actually a big raised flower bed, but for now with only two desert bushes. Naomi was hoping that they would grow eventually around the statue. Pond of water also left as it was. Next she goes big and claims everything in one mile radius-that was hard-she sits for the moment to catch breath. After a short break she continued her work. She decided on a 50 yards wide stretch of wild grassland around the shrine. She hopes it will be enough space for any kind of religious events and ceremonies. It was full of wildflowers, clovers and other typical common plants. around it she placed a 3 yards wide stone pavement. From there in 4 mine geographical directions and in 4 in the middle she placed also 3 yards wide stone pavement straight to the border of land she claims. In places where roads end she placed towers with typical arabic domes on it. Towers had multiple roles, there were gates, warehouses where food and medical supplies will be stored for caravans and it will be a lighthouse. By day the gold plated dome will reflect sunlight, and at night on the highest floor of the tower she will install a place for a big fire or maybe she will find some magical solution. Towers were also big, well for her not much but she was aware that for locals they could be. The base was 60 yards wide and 30 yards high. With a dome and spire on it, the total high was 80 yards. She made 5 yard thick walls because she had a hunch that gods didn't tell the whole truth about the situation in the north. And there was always a chance for some mad emperor wanting to conquer the world. The first floor was 9 yards high and was just a big empty space with two circles of columns supporting the ceiling. inner has 6 and outer 12 with 2 yards diameter each. on both sides were starways and simple lifts. It was a wooden wheel high almost up to the ceiling. Inside will stand two humans and move it by walking, through a system of pulleys platform can be raised and lowered. Gates had 6 yards width and more than 8 yards high with arabic arch too. They can be closed by 1 foot thick oak gate wings with steel fitting. And they were sliding doors placed in 3 feet deep groves. under wings where wheels so moving them was easy and there were prepared 3 sliding 1 foot thick oak bars moved by simple gearing. The groove on the threshold was covered also by thick oak planks.

-hmm, the gate should be big enough for elephants.

Towers also have 4 floors, 4 yards high each. The first 3 were designed to hold supplies for caravans. The last one was lookout and lighthouse. The floors were supported by 3 rows of 1 yard wide columns, the first row had 6, second 8, third 12 columns. Domes she made from steel trusses, with riveted gold diamond-shaped plates. On spire she hangs banners. On top was green with the silhouette of a tree representing The Lady, and lower was yellow with an anvil and hammer representing The Smith. Towers were connected by 10 yard tall and 10 yard thick walls. Towers and walls were built from interconnecting stone blocks. They look quite like lego or those concrete blocks for fast building retention walls. They had 5 yards long and 2,5 high and wide and they were cut from granite. The exterior of walls and towers she clad with lapis lazuli tiles because she loves how Gate of Ishtar were looking and deep blue color match perfectly with sand and golden domes. Next to the walls on the inner side she built stables with enough space for a few hundred animals. She also includes food for them and water. Beside them opposite of the stone road she designed a 100 yards wide meadow where people can pitch their tents. They were fountains with fresh water and stacks of wood for fire. Everything between the shrine and camping ground were designed for orchards with every possible fruit tree and bush. She also decided that near the southern gate will be the entrance for her dungeon. The entrance will be classical, big rock with a cave and stone stairs leading down. designing was easy, but building was another story. Size and almost obsessive care for details forced Naomi to have countless breaks, Her hard work rewarded her not only beautiful oasis, but level up on strength and stamina.

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

-that nice-she smiled after checking her path-ok i need only one more thing and floor will be ready-she clears her throat and said- this entire floor will be a safe zone, and champion of this floor will be tomcat Bandit. Catch him and you will be rewarded. Barrel of finest ale, vine or fruit juice. And you Bandit-she crouched down and scratched the most normal cat ever, black with some white patches, behind the ear-be yourself-the cat meowed and ran somewhere. A year later the cat will be known as scourge of On-Taram oasis, and one of few impossible challenges.

-time for second floor-Naomi stretched-average yard was good upstairs, but i need something better-she declared and went to her benches-ok what i reed in scrolls people of this world have general idea about size of their world. They just can't agree how to measure it. Let's help them-Naomi smiled-i need an oak road of length equal to 10 to the power of -7 the length measured from the equator to the south pole-this time rod materializes instantaneously. She compares the length of her average yard with her new unit rod. The new one was 3 feet 4 inches and a little long. On Earth it was 3,5 inches difference, but local yards and Theneya it cannot have the same dimensions as the Earth-great this will be Theneya meter. I just need to mark centimeters on it and i will have my own metric system-she declares and instantaneously she feels warm like earlier when she leveled up her stamina and strength. Naomi opened her path and in titles she found new annotation. Watched by the Junos, god of knowledge and secrets. You recreate from your past life not only a standardized measurement unit but also the whole system. Your work when discovered will help scholars understand the world, and the kingdoms will flourish.

- There's no mention of me doing something wrong, so it should be fine, right?-she closed display-yes everything is ok-she added confidently. Maybe I have a free hand but I'm sure that gods will react immediately if I do something really bad. If nothing happens that means everything is ok. Let's get back to work.

First she made a rough sketch of the second floor. There will be twelve rooms arranged around the central one with the shrine of The Smith in grid pattern. She doesn't plan anything fancy, only the usual statue of god and anvil as sort of altar, and only this room will be without any trap. Entrance and exit will be on opposite sides. All rooms will be connected to each other, but she added doors that opened randomly to make trek through the floor unpredictable. Naomi for the moment was thinking what she can do extra to slow down adventures.

-yes let’s do that-she smiled, and added one extra room. it was connected with room number seven through hidden doors in the corner. The thirteenth room however wasn't a vault with treasure, it was another trap room, especially designed for greedy people. She also added a clue to the hidden room by adding a number above the entrance. The number explained which room you were entering out of thirteen. The entire floor was made from metal, steel, iron and brass with little gold and silver, or copper for minor details. Naomi wasn't an artist but she always tries to make her designs at least look good. Traps were also made of metal and rather generic but She tries to include some gears and simple mechanism to them. Naomi meticulously design and test release mechanisms of every trap to be sure that they work properly. All rooms were lit by lanterns with brightly glowing magical stones. It was the only good option in her opinion. Torches, candles, even oil lamps leave soot on walls and ceilings. Yes she can use magic for cleaning but it will look wrong. Naomi had enough knowledge about electricity that she easily with only little help from magic recreated it. But lightbulb will be even worse, and she had a feeling that it would be an abuse of the hospitality of gods. Yes, they want innovation and progress, but new things should be introduced step by step and with the right time. Otherwise this world will end like Earth where the rush for new things makes the lives of people unpredictable. And very few of them know how things really work, what ends alienation elderly or some other groups of people.

-yes, this floor looks good to-Naomi, who decided after creating everything a double-checking -time for main boss-Naomi sights. She really doesn't like the fact that she must choose some animal, no matter how dangerous, to fight for her. She associated it with illegal dog fighting, rightly banned-maybe i find something in scrolls. Some kind loophole or forgotten rule?
