v2 Chapter 17: Waterwheel Workshop

"About a few nights ago, someone in the nearby factory found that several machines had stopped working. It was not the spinning machine that had a problem, but the lack of energy supply, so they contacted the guards in the workshop, don't It looks like a waterwheel on the outside. In fact, the inside of the workshop is mechanized and automatic, so there are only two guards every day. They are on shifts at night. The problem is on the No. 1 waterwheel, its external transmission is damaged When it came to the damage, our initial judgment was that there was a business competitor who was doing damage, and we immediately found someone to repair it, but the next night, it was damaged again. This time, both waterwheels had problems, so we Ready to squat over that nasty **** on the night of the third day..."

Speaking of this, the manager unnaturally unbuttoned the top button of the shirt inside. Although it had been a few days since that night, recalling that scene still made him nervous and uncomfortable.

There are no spinning machines in the waterwheel workshop. There are only various mechanical devices connected to two large waterwheels, and a large number of woven fabrics piled up in the open space. The colors are different. Since there are no people on weekdays, This workshop does not have the large windows that are common in ordinary factories, but there are several vents above the inner wall.

"What did you see that night?"

Donald followed the manager to the waterwheel workbench on the left, which was the closest waterwheel, built on the river.

"I know it's incredible to say, but I hope you don't get too surprised when you hear it...and don't think I'm a lunatic because I did see it, that's...that's A big toad! It's about the size of a bull, it has many fist-sized bumps on its dark blue skin, and it has teeth in its mouth, yes, I'm sure of that... sir, you have to Trust me, what I say is true!"

The manager watched Donald's expression as he spoke, he had spoken to a few close people about this before, and they all didn't believe him and thought he was mentally ill, which made him very frustrated, and sometimes even started. I wonder if I'm really hallucinating myself.

So now seeing that the person he hired didn't even bother to look surprised, it made him very embarrassed. He felt that there might be something wrong with his brain, so he hired someone to solve a dark blue giant that only existed in his imagination. toad!

"Did I say I don't believe you?"

Donald said that he put on his sunglasses and turned on his spirit vision. He first scanned the workshop, and there was no special trace. It seemed that the guy only appeared near the waterwheel.

"No, I...the average person would be surprised, surprised, or something like that when they hear the big toad..."

"Sir, I'm the one you hired to deal with this monster, isn't it? If I'm weird and afraid of this monster, what am I doing here, worrying with you? As long as the remuneration is in place, let alone the big dark blue toad, it's A dark blue bull rushing out of the river, and I'll take care of it for you!"

Now that he has taken over the task, Donald still has this work ethic.

"Thank you for your trust, please go this way."

There are two platforms outside the waterwheel workshop. One is a high-priced platform built on the outside of the workshop. It is in the shape of a long strip and is located in the middle of the waterwheel. The low platform on the waterwheel, built above the river, is the location for servicing the outer blades of the waterwheel.

Donald stood on the elevated platform and looked at the empty street on the opposite bank. He saw that the building style should be a warehouse area with few pedestrians. He also looked at the waterwheel that was still running slowly in the river below. What I see outside is different. There are many mechanical structures hanging on it. In the center is a large rolling gear, and I don't know what it does.

"Where is the damaged place?"

Since we want to solve the monster, we must first find the reason why it is staring at the waterwheel to destroy.

"It can't be seen clearly here. You have to go to the low platform to see it. The monster destroyed a part of the mechanical device behind the blade."

The manager pointed to the edge of the waterwheel, which had been serviced before, so he knew what was wrong.

"Did you go down through the escalator here? You take me down and show me the damaged place."

There is a downward escalator in the middle of the high-priced platform, which is connected to the lower platform.

"Uh, this..."

The manager stood on the edge of the platform and glanced at the low platform, which was less than half a meter away from the river. He remembered that the toad climbed up here that night, and he has never gone down since then.

"Don't worry, with me here, I can't wait for that toad to come out now, it can save me a lot of time, please hurry up? Time is money, my friend!"

After Donald finished speaking, he found that the manager was still dawdling beside him, and after thinking about it, he continued,

"Tomorrow is the time to reopen. If you can't solve the problem today, what are you going to do tomorrow? The shutdown of the factory means that the fabric cannot be produced, the stores in Tallinn can't get new products, customers are lost, and assets are damaged. You are only the person in charge of this part. , there should be a boss above, why are you going to explain to him when the time comes, because the waterwheel of the factory was bitten by a big toad with teeth?"

Dengdengdeng~

The manager trotted all the way to the low platform. It took him ten years to get this position now, and he didn't know how much effort he paid to get it. If he was fired because of his own fear, it would be better to let Toad take a bite. It was a pleasure to swallow him.

"Wait, let me see... I remember it was marked."

The entire waterwheel had a large number of blades, and the toad destroyed only a part of them. The manager squatted on the platform, holding an iron hook pulled from the side wall in his right hand, which was used to fix the waterwheel later.

Donald was standing on the side of the platform against the wall and used his spiritual vision to look around. There were several light blue marks on the periphery of the low platform. When he walked up, he found that it should be the flipper of a toad. It's even bigger than that, which proves that the manager's description is not wrong. It is indeed a big toad. He turned his eyes to the waterwheel again, and some strange marks also appeared between the two blades. When they turned to the manager's position, they saw that he was very neatly using the iron hook to put the lock ring.

"It's here. The first damage has been repaired. It's similar to the situation here. The outer blades have not been damaged in any way, but the device installed in the blade has no problems."

The manager pointed to the empty space between the two blades, where the tail of a mechanical device seemed to have been poked by an iron drill. A big dent in it.

Donald stood behind him, and in the vision of Spirit Vision, this place was stained with a lot of light blue marks, especially the parts of the mechanical device.

"Has anything been damaged in other places around the river bank during this time?"

Destruction of waterwheels, and repeated destruction, must be purposeful.

"As far as I know there should be no, only these two waterwheels were destroyed by that guy!"

The manager recalled for a few seconds, then shook his head and said.

"What does this mechanical device do, and does it have any characteristics? For example, it will emit light at night, etc. It may be a coincidence that it is destroyed once, but it will come back to destroy after you repair it. It must be something on this waterwheel. Something annoys it."

"This is an ordinary mechanical structure, the function... It should only be the function of a repeater, probably an overall line node."

"You mean it's nothing special when it's taken out alone?"

"Yes, there are a lot of this stuff on the waterwheel."

The manager had also worked in this type of spinning mill before he was promoted, and he still knew a little about the waterwheel.

"The waterwheel was running when it was damaged, right? Your No. 2 waterwheel is also broken?"

Since no problem can be found in the details, it can only restore the situation at that time.

"No, this one has been repaired, because two are broken, I want to leave one to check the problem, and the other one I called someone to repair a long time ago, in order to save some repair time after the problem is solved."

"Okay, you go up and open it right away, and I'll watch it right here."

From the waterwheel No. 1 to the edge of the waterwheel No. 2, Donald turned his head and said to the manager.

"Ah? You're not afraid of that monster..."

"Do it!"

"OK."

The manager ran back to the workshop. After a while, Donald saw the gears in the middle of the waterwheel start to operate. The waterwheel still maintained the original speed, but some mechanical devices in the middle of it had changed. Donald's eyes were fixed on the No. 2 waterwheel. on the undamaged parts.

beep beep~ beep beep~

After a while, a rhythmic sound resembling the sound of a whistle began to emanate from the mechanism in the middle of the waterwheel.

"Sir, did you find anything wrong?"

Holding a switch with a thick black wire in his hand, the manager reappeared on the elevated platform.

"Go ahead, watch from the elevated platform, help me pay attention to the water behind me, and let me know if you see anything unusual!"

Compared to the last waterwheel activity~lightnovelpub.net~ this time, there was a strange sound, and Donald thought it was very likely that the sound was a monster that was introduced into the river along with the rotation of the waterwheel.

But this is just a guess. He needs to verify it. He quickly walks onto the elevated platform and asks the manager to watch it while he sees it. Such a huge creature must have traces swimming in the river.

1 minute, 2 minutes...10 minutes...half an hour...

On the river surface about 20 to 30 meters away from the direction Donald was looking at, a wide ripple suddenly appeared out of thin air. He did not call the manager, but let the ripple approach. When it entered the range of Spirit Vision, Donald whispered: "Shut down the waterwheel!"

The manager was a little unresponsive, but the action on his hand was timely, and he immediately pressed the close button.

The sound of the waterwheel stopped immediately, and the ripples on the water gradually disappeared. (https://) "Devil Sage" only represents the point of view of the fox sold by the author.
