Master of Thermodynamics
Chapter 921: Yankee
Lunar star calendar 749 years, the blazing red month.
Gagarin Plain in the central part of the Silver Lion Republic.
The blazing sun of the Fiery Moon scorched the entire land, turning this area into a giant furnace.
"Guru... Guru..."
Harrison raised his head and poured a glass of ice water, only to feel the heat all over his body disappear instantly.
He sighed happily:
"Oh, it's so comfortable!"
Harrison put the kettle under the faucet again, unscrewed the valve, and then laughed while adding ice water:
"I really love this magic water dispenser. It makes me feel for the first time that the hot summer is not so difficult... The masters from the north are so generous. They actually provide us with free ice. The water... the taste of ice water is so strange, it tastes a bit salty..."
The workers lined up behind him noisily echoed.
"Who said no? The lords in the north are indeed kind..."
"I heard from the northern masters that we sweat too much and we must drink salt water..."
"The drinking fountain is amazing. I have lived for more than 30 years. This is the first time I tasted the taste of ice water in summer..."
But some people yelled dissatisfiedly.
"Hey, Harrison, everyone is waiting in line..."
"Can the people in front be faster..."
There are also some strange sounds.
"Oh oh oh, you guys, yelling ‘Master of the North’ all day long, and they won’t give you an extra silver nar..."
"That's right, just drank a little ice water. Is it necessary to kneel and lick the Yankees every day?"
These yin and yang strange words immediately triggered a fierce dispute.
"Compared with those greedy nobles, the lords of the north are simply kind angels..."
"Hey, Ekford, you have to be conscientious. If you didn't drive away the kings and nobles from the north, would you have such a good life?"
"I think Ekford is right. At this construction site, the Yankees are always superior. They have the final say on everything. We southerners are like slaves, called and called all day long... …"
"Bah, Akmon, did someone force you to work on the construction site? If you can't understand the northerners, you can go home and farm..."
"Akermon just talked about it, he couldn't bear to leave... The northern masters paid as much as 8 silver nars/month, and there were big fish and meat every day. Who can eat? I can't drive him away..."
"Furthermore, if there were no northerners, Akmon's family would not be allocated 60 acres of land. They could only serve as tenant farmers for the noble lords, and the whole family would not be able to eat a few full meals throughout the year..."
Harrison turned his head and glanced at the noisy workers. He poured a few mouthfuls of ice water, and then slowly filled the kettle, before giving up the position to the next worker.
He took a sip of ice water and was about to wipe his sweat off his sleeves when he suddenly saw a long string of black spots in the distant sky.
Harrison stared at the black spot for a while, and shouted:
"Guys, the'Flying Giant' is coming soon...We will have work to do right away. We have to drink ice water faster, otherwise we won't be able to drink it later..."
A group of people followed up and looked up at the sky, and then another swarm of people squeezed towards the drinking fountain.
This posture of desperately grabbing water caused a small manager in charge of the drinking fountain to roar:
"You bastards, all line up for me... If anyone dares to squeeze again, I will respond to the top and cancel his benefit of drinking ice water..."
This threat was very effective, and the team quickly restored order.
Ten minutes later, the "flying giant" among the workers appeared on top of everyone's heads.
This is impressively more than ten huge magical transport airships.
The length of each airship reaches an astonishing 300 meters. They hover in the sky hundreds of meters high, and when viewed from below, they still have great visual impact.
At this moment, even the worker who had the greatest prejudice against the Yankees closed his mouth tightly at this moment, and his face was full of awe.
Since the construction site started, this is not the first time they have witnessed an airship, but every time an airship formation appears, they can keep their eyes on it.
There was also a low voice of admiration from the crowd.
"The Yankees are so amazing..."
"I heard that this is something invented by the President..."
"Although I don't like Yankees, the exception is God of War. He is a great crown..."
...
After another while, 16 giants slowly landed on a large open space. Their huge bodies almost filled the open space with an area of tens of thousands of square meters.
Subsequently, a series of instructions sounded in the construction site announcement:
"Attention from the 7th to 12th teams, please go to the airship parking area immediately to unload the cargo loaded on the airship... The managers of each team, please count the number of people, organize and coordinate the workers... Repeat it, please pay attention to the 7th to 12th teams ..."
More than a dozen managers wearing red helmets screamed loudly as they walked quickly towards the workers:
"Guys, go to the airship parking area at speed, remember to wear safety helmets and gloves, whoever wears protective equipment according to the regulations, if caught by the inspectors, just wait to be driven home..."
Under the leadership of the "Red Helmets", more than 600 workers trot to the distant parking lot.
The closer they were to the transport airship, the more shocked the workers' hearts, and the laughter became less and less, until they reached the foot of the airship, the team had become silent.
Compared with the super monsters in front of them, the workers are as small as dust.
"Om... Om..."
"Ka Ka... Ka Ka..."
The turning of the magic motive sounded, and the door of the airship cargo warehouse was slowly lowered, revealing bundles of black steel bars, each steel bar thicker than 3 fingers, with thread-shaped convex marks on the surface.
"Red Helmet" shouted again:
"Everyone's task is to unload the high-strength alloy steel bars transported by the airship, stack them next to the airship, and wait for a special magic truck to take care of the transportation... When working, it is strictly forbidden to take off the safety helmet and gloves... If you accidentally get injured , Please report immediately..."
"Group 7, your goal is Airship No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3, you only have one hour to complete the unloading..."
"What? I don't know where the 22nd and 23rd are? The numbers are written on the side of the airship cargo warehouse. Follow the numbers to find...I will speed up, finish early and rest early..."
"Team 8, you are in charge of airships 3, 4, and 5... Team 9..."
Accompanied by a roar, the workers rushed into the airship cargo warehouse in droves, carrying steel bars in various hands.
The warehouse was stuffy and hot, and even when standing still, there were big beads of sweat coming out, let alone working.
In less than a minute, the workers were all sweating, but no one dared to be lazy. At most, taking advantage of the transport gap, they took a sip of the salt water in the kettle to add water.
In the era of the Silver Lion Kingdom, they all experienced hardships, and all of this seemed to the workers as beautiful as a dream, so they were extremely rare, and they were afraid of not working hard when they worked.
...
Beside a transport airship, a "red helmet" glanced over the busy workers, landed on the companion next to him, and suddenly asked in a low voice:
"Hey, Brad, I heard that this airship formation is all loaded with high-strength alloy steel bars... The maximum load of this new airship is 320 tons, and 16 airships are more than 5,000 tons."
"This is already the third batch, counting the first two batches, it's more than 15,000 tons... What is the plan to build on top, and why would it require so much steel?"
Called the "Red Helmet" of "Brad", he whispered:
"Kane, I heard that there are more than 15,000 tons, but there are at least five batches with a total weight of more than 40,000 tons!"
Kane was taken aback:
"Gosh, so much?"
Brad gave a chuckle:
"You should know that a group of rune magicians led from the tide of the barracks on this construction site just entered yesterday... When I was eating in the cafeteria yesterday, I accidentally heard two magicians. Chat, they said there will be a building here..."
He paused intentionally, then said:
"Large launch platform!"
Kane became more puzzled:
"What? Launch platform? A building built with 40,000 tons of steel bars is absolutely incredible. What kind of thing needs such a huge platform?"
Brad looked around, lowering his voice a bit:
"Hey, man, I can reveal it to you, but you must never tell anyone... According to what I overheard from Mr. Magician, this is a construction facility for a super weapon. Its name seems to be What is it called... Uh, Thanos' hand..."
"However, I don't know what the specific weapon is. Anyway, it must be very powerful...When the platform is completed, we will definitely see it, won't we?"
Kane opened his mouth suddenly:
"my God!"
