Chapter 123 Breaking Ground
The morning sun rose little by little, and the cool morning became a little scorching hot.
Zhang Hao finally let out a rough breath, and invited Li Yuanyuan, who looked stiff, to sit down. At the end, he gave Feng Zhiling a smirk beside him.
After sitting down, Li Yuanyuan smiled again, and said softly, with a bit of playfulness in her tone: "Brother Shi, you got up very early today."
Zhang Hao laughed and said, "I'll wait for Sister Shi."
Li Yuanyuan's complexion turned redder.
Feng Zhiling spoke from the side: "Don't listen to his nonsense, he came here this morning to wait for the migrant workers."
Zhang Hao covered his brows speechlessly.
Li Yuanyuan glared at Feng Zhiling even more.
Feng Zhiling looked at Li Yuanyuan's eyes, speechless: "Hey, I told you the truth, what kind of eyes do you have?"
Zhang Hao felt that he could not let Feng Zhiling continue, so he hurriedly said: "Yesterday we showed kindness to the people, and I want to see everyone's performance."
Li Yuanyuan was puzzled: "But it's only past six o'clock, and the start time is eight o'clock? It's still an hour away!"
Zhang Hao suddenly pointed to the distance: "Look, this is not someone coming!"
Today is a day to break Li Yuanyuan's fixed thinking. Before seven o'clock in the morning, 80% of the migrant workers arrived, and many of them brought tools.
Some of the earliest migrant workers had already been working.
There was no groundbreaking ceremony, no tailoring, it just started.
Luanci Mountain is more than a hundred miles to fifty kilometers away from the county seat of Ninghe County, and more than one hundred kilometers away from Zhangjia. If you want to develop Luanci Mountain, you must first build roads.
Now the most common way of road construction is: rammed earth.
"Why ram the earth? How fast can you use the spell?" Feng Zhiling turned into a curious baby at this time.
Li Yuanyuan spoke, and the girl meant to 'point out', "Spells are time-sensitive. Once the mana disappears, the items built by the spell will soon decay.
Especially in terms of road construction, because of the traffic coming and going, and the roads with concentrated spells, sometimes they can't last even a year.
In contrast, roads made of rammed earth can last for thousands of years and require little maintenance. "
Feng Zhiling has a thick skin, so he doesn't know how to be ashamed. He nodded proudly, "That's it. Well, go and play by yourself, I'll go over and have a look."
Li Yuanyuan was flustered by Feng Zhiling's words, she lost her ladylike demeanor, pointed at Feng Zhiling's back, and wanted to say something rude; but she suppressed it in the end; she turned her head to look at Zhang Hao: "Brother Shi, senior brother, is there something wrong here?"
Li Yuanyuan pointed to her head.
Zhang Hao nodded seriously: "Keep your voice down, let him hear it, he will feel uncomfortable."
…………
At eight o'clock in the morning, tens of thousands of people had already arrived, and miraculously, no one was late or ran away. Such a scene surprised Li Yousheng, Feng Tai and others.
Not only the personnel inside the Xuantie Factory were surprised; at noon, Ouyang Si, who was about to return to Beijing, stopped by to have a look, but was also surprised and speechless.
With few people supervising, tens of thousands of people are working in full swing.
The tools for ramming the earth are not ordinary, more or less with a little magic; once rammed, the ground can sink a few inches.
There are usually five people working in a group, some are responsible for mixing the straw with clay and sand, some are responsible for shoveling and building up soil, and some are responsible for ramming the earth. The whole operation process is methodical.
It was noon at this time, and some people hurriedly ate their own meals next to the construction site, and then continued to work without delay.
Ouyang Sifei flew into the air and saw tens of thousands of people stretching for more than 50 miles and a road of more than 100 miles. It is estimated that it will only take four to five days to complete the construction.
Ouyang Si was a little shocked by such efficiency.
It's a pity that the atmosphere in the hall is tense now, and Ouyang Si didn't have the heart to observe carefully, so he just flew away in a hurry.
In fact, the speed of construction was faster than Ouyang Si expected; that night, the migrant workers did not go home, and everyone stayed overnight in a temporary barrier, and continued to be busy early the next morning. By the afternoon of the third day, the 100-mile road had been tamped abruptly.
Zhang Hao inspected it himself, and found that the rammed road was stronger than rocks.
Compared with stones, this kind of rammed road is tougher, and even if it is washed by floods, it will hardly be damaged. In the later stage, people will use spells to consolidate it, and a wide and straight road will appear.
Zhang Hao stood at the end of the road and looked far away. This road actually exceeded the standard of the world's first-class road.
A passage with a width of six feet extends from the county town to Luanci Mountain, with several bridges along the way.
The construction of the bridge is simple and crude. Zhang Hao saw with his own eyes a dozen guys in the foundation building period, who dug rocks from the mountain, and the stones of more than ten tons were placed easily. strips to 'sewn' these stones together.
Such a construction method was really fast, so fast that Zhang Hao had to throw aside the half-drawn design of the slab-arch bridge.
Practical is good, what kind of art do you want!
This is a square bridge, with piers built of big stones underneath and a road paved with stone beams and slabs above. The stone beams and slabs are very thick, and the bridge hole is pitifully small, narrower than the piers.
Such a bridge construction method is definitely not beautiful, but it must be admitted that such a bridge is absolutely strong.
Zhang Hao flew forward along the road. Although he couldn't fly with his sword until the Golden Core stage, he could use a little spell to satisfy his greed and experience flying.
Flying to the end of the road, there is the pitch-black Luanci Mountain.
Luanci Mountain, as the name suggests, has chaotic magnetism here. These magnetism will have a certain impact on the magic weapon made of black iron. Therefore, Luanci Mountain is even more unpopular. Until the black iron factory appeared.
The part of Luanci Mountain above the ground has a radius of ten kilometers (10 kilometers in diameter); the part underground will only be larger.
Suspended in the air, Zhang Hao looked at the almost endless black hills, feeling a little uncontrollable excitement. With Luanci Mountain in hand, the Zhang family finally has the foundation to rise!
At the foot of this black hill, there is already a factory area under construction; Zhang Shengye is leading the construction team, but among the construction team, there are Huang Mingshan and others. No one knows that the main person who promotes the change of the Zhang family is here.
"Second Uncle." Zhang Hao landed next to Zhang Shengye.
Zhang Shengye smiled faintly: "Xiaohao, you came just in time. The first steam turbine will arrive soon, and the first factory will also enter the operation stage soon."
Since being captured last time, Zhang Shengye has become much calmer, and he no longer calls Zhang Hao a "little mouse".
Zhang Hao was about to say something, but suddenly he saw the wind and clouds rolling in the distance. Looking carefully, it was Dugu Junjie who took the lead, standing in front of the wind and clouds, and there were four Jindan stage masters standing at the four corners. A flying cloud was raised, and in the center of the flying cloud, a heavy steam turbine and a set of reducers were placed.
Zhang Hao opened his mouth stupidly—is there such a transportation?
(I have something to do today, don't wait at noon. There will be an update in the evening)
