Chapter 148 Construction begins
While these people were learning how to make cement, Xu Zhen and his companions were not idle. They selected many skilled craftsmen from tens of thousands of people. Then, the goddess took out the design drawings and explained in detail her specific requirements for the construction of the house to the construction workers and carpenters.
Since the cement could be put into production directly at this time, she only needed to leave some steel bars. In addition, when they were building the road, they also collected a lot of wood and stored it in the space. When everyone saw so many items appearing out of thin air, they were so shocked that they couldn't express it in words.
Xu Zhen said: "You can build the pigsty first and try to use new materials such as steel bars and cement. Steel bars are stronger than other materials. Some of you know how to forge iron. I will leave you some tools and you can figure out how to use them.
Of course, if you really can't operate it successfully, don't worry, you can help make cement first. The road leading to the outside world is now paved, and cement has been successfully produced, just like the road in the cave. Next, you just need to pave the newly built road with cement and you're done!
In addition, solar photovoltaic panels are also indispensable, and we need to continue to install more of them! When the power is sufficient, no matter what work we do, it will definitely be much more convenient. "
"The machine can start working just by connecting it with a wire. Electricity is so magical. I wonder if it can be used in other ways besides this?"
"Of course, you will understand in the future that without electricity, nothing in the world can be accomplished smoothly. I must solemnly remind you here that you must not touch the current with your body. The tree that was knocked down by the electric shock when the electric wires were just installed is a lesson for you. Once you are hit by electricity, the consequences are disastrous and the human body will be burned. So remember, never touch the current! In addition, we have other important matters to deal with. After we return, if we encounter any problems, we will discuss solutions together."
Xu Zhen arranged everything in the canyon properly and distributed a "Loyalty Pill" to everyone. After everyone took the pill, they felt more at ease!
He left enough food for everyone to sustain their lives for several months. The next morning, he and An Chen and others led those who were willing to continue serving in the army, left the canyon along the newly built road, and went to deal with other matters.
When everyone walked out of the Grand Canyon, they were stunned to see the newly opened road outside. It was obvious that this was a brand new road. The goddess had been away for less than a month, and she not only successfully sent people back home, but also had time to build such a wide and flat road. She was really a god descending to earth!
Everyone continued walking for a while. At noon, Xu Zhen asked them to take a short rest under the shade of a tree and have lunch before continuing on their journey.
Xu Zhen’s consciousness immediately entered the space, and he found Xiao Tuantuan who was watching TV intently and asked for help.
"Master, please rest assured. After they have filled their stomachs, I will let them have a good sleep."
"Thank you, Tuantuan. Do you want to go out and play?"
“I’m watching a TV series now!”
“Well, as long as you are happy.”
Everyone ate the lunch boxes given by the goddess. The food was rich and fragrant, making them intoxicated, as if they were in a paradise of food. Every bite was so delicious that they could not stop eating and left them with an endless aftertaste. However, no one noticed that in this short period of time, they fell asleep one after another.
Maybe the smell of the food spread too far, something in the distance was approaching this side. An Chen said: "It would be normal to be in the deep mountains and old forests if there were wild animals! We have been here so many times, let alone wild animals, we haven't even seen a rabbit or a pheasant."
Xu Zhen also nodded in agreement: "Yes, every time Tuantuan wakes up, he will release a powerful mind power to prevent those wild beasts and small animals from approaching us. When he falls into a deep sleep, the machines we use to build the road will make a loud and noisy sound. Even the most ferocious and powerful beasts will be scared and flee when they hear this sound!"
After hearing this, Chen Xu frowned and said worriedly: "It seems that even if this road is repaired, it is not very safe to walk on it, right?"
Xu Zhen thought for a moment and replied, "Well, there is indeed a certain risk. When more people live on both sides of the road in the future, perhaps the wild animals will not dare to approach easily. But the most important thing at the moment is to find a way to ensure the safety of pedestrians."
An Chen: "This road is dozens of kilometers long. Even if it is fenced off, it is still a huge project."
Xu Zhen: "You are smart. You reminded me. Wouldn't it be better to put up barbed wire on both sides of the road?"
Everyone looked suspicious, wondering what kind of wire mesh could actually stop the ferocious beasts? At this moment, Xu Zhen took out something, and everyone immediately understood the reason. It turned out that this so-called wire mesh was not an ordinary thing, but was woven from bundles of wire ropes, covered with dense and sharp vertical spikes. With such strict protective measures, it would be extremely difficult for humans to climb over, let alone beasts. In addition, there were many sturdy concrete piles on the scene.
An Chen asked doubtfully, "Are you really planning to erect these concrete piles on both sides of the road and tie barbed wire to them?"
Xu Zhen nodded, and then said to the bewildered crowd who didn't know how to start: "We don't have enough time to complete this work. An Er is the fastest, you go back to the canyon immediately and find someone to come over. Let him teach everyone the installation method later. In this way, when we lay the cement road surface, we can also install the guardrails on both sides."
After receiving the order, An Er disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. Xu Zhen then put the unconscious person into the space, and then dispatched more than a dozen motorcycles from the space. The secret guards were not unfamiliar with these motorcycles, because they had ridden them before. Seeing these vehicles again at this time, they couldn't help but be extremely excited. After all, the road in front of them was very flat. If they could ride a motorcycle and feel the speed and passion of the wind and lightning, it would definitely bring an incomparable exciting experience.
Xu Zhen looked at everyone and said, "If you want to ride, find one yourself. Chen Jing, you can ask An Yi to take you. When you have time in the future, you can also learn how to ride."
Hearing this, Chen Jing's face turned red. She looked at her elder brother Chen Xu cautiously, but Chen Xu just glanced at her and didn't say anything. In fact, Chen Xu himself didn't know how to ride, so how could he dare to ask? At this time, An Yi looked at the princess with gratitude on his face.
Not long after, An Er flew over with a man in his arms. This man was a general in the private army. His face was flushed red at the moment. It was unknown whether it was because of shyness or anger. When he saw that the person coming was the goddess, he relaxed his vigilance a little. Obviously, the taciturn An Er did not explain the reason to him, but directly brought him here by force.
Xu Zhen stepped forward and said to the general, "Don't panic. I called you here because I have something to explain to you." Then, Xu Zhen pointed to the cement piles and wire mesh on the road and explained in detail the location and method of installation. Finally, Xu Zhen also reminded him, "We have enough manpower and tools for you. When you lay the cement, you can directly arrange for people to install it. It must be completed as soon as possible to ensure the safety of everyone."
The man responded respectfully and then began to look around. He was surprised to find that he was standing on a brand new road, which was incredibly wide! Not only that, the road surface was unusually smooth, as if it had been carefully repaired. His eyes could not help but be attracted - he saw the goddess's men riding on a strange two-wheeled monster. He felt an inexplicable fear in his heart, but at the same time he could not suppress his strong curiosity and wanted to take a few more glances.
After Xu Zhen finished explaining, he noticed his curious look and turned to An Er and said, "Drive him back to the canyon on your motorcycle." When this man was safely sent to the canyon, he was still immersed in the shock of the moment and couldn't calm down for a long time. When he came to his senses, he suddenly realized that the nearly 20,000 people taken out by the goddess were nowhere to be found. He thought to himself, "The goddess is really amazing. She sent them to the military camp in just a moment!"
Everything was ready. The five secret guards were so excited that they drove away on motorcycles. An Chen drove Xu Zhen in the middle, and the others followed closely behind. An Yi saw his brother-in-law Chen Xu riding in An Er's car and rushing to the front, so he deliberately slowed down and drove Chen Jing to the end of the team. He lowered his voice and said to Chen Jing, "The motorcycle is very fast. Look at how the princess rides and learn from her. It's safer this way!"
Chen Jing lowered her head shyly, humming casually, not daring to look up. An Yi just smiled and said nothing. The motorcycle started, and Chen Jing was not paying attention. Her body leaned back due to inertia, and she subconsciously hugged An Yi's waist with both hands. An Yi was afraid of hurting Chen Jing, so he didn't start the motorcycle very fast, but it was too sudden. When Chen Jing reacted, her hands were already on An Yi's waist. An Yi couldn't help but smile secretly, and thanked the princess for her arrangement.
As Xu Zhen walked, he placed protective nets and cement piles on both sides of the road until he got out of the forest and onto the official road. Xu Zhen put away his motorcycle and quickly dispatched a helicopter. An Chen skillfully operated the helicopter and flew in the direction of Sima Jun.
At the same time, the people who stayed in the canyon also began to work according to Xu Zhen's instructions. The craftsmen studied the steel bars with great concentration, trying to find the most appropriate way to use them. They carefully observed, repeatedly tested, and constantly tried various combinations and structures, hoping to make the best use of these steel bars.
Others actively engaged in the production and collection of cement. They worked hard to improve the output and quality of cement to ensure that the subsequent road paving work could proceed smoothly.
In the process, they inevitably encountered some difficulties. However, they did not get discouraged, but encouraged and supported each other. They studied the drawings together, read the instructions repeatedly, actively exchanged ideas and experiences with each other, and jointly explored solutions to the problems.
After a period of hard work, they finally achieved some results. Not only did they have a deeper understanding of the application of steel bars, but their technology for laying cement on the road became better and faster. The people in front laid the cement while the people behind did the maintenance.
According to the plan given by the goddess, the protective nets on both sides of the road need to be erected while laying cement. At the same time, everyone's mouths did not stop, but exclaimed in amazement:
"Wow, these pliers are amazing! Such a hard wire can be cut easily."
"And these gloves are so durable! Even if they are faced with sharp thorns, they won't be cut at all!"
"These are all items used by gods, so they are naturally extraordinary! Just like the photovoltaic panel, it can generate electricity as long as it is exposed to the sun."
"Yes, we cannot operate those extremely heavy machines at all, but once they are powered on, they can automatically start to work. Don't you think this is amazing?"
"Have you seen the design drawings drawn by the goddess? If it is really built according to that drawing, then this canyon will definitely become a holy place where only gods are qualified to live!"
"The electric light was on all night last night! The light was so bright! The goddess said that we will all use this kind of electric light for lighting in the future. I don't even want to light a kerosene lamp at home."
"I heard that the blueprints show not only factories and schools, but also places for rest and entertainment, and that all the houses are identical with neatly laid out yards."
"Do you think those courtyards are for us to live in?"
"Such a nice yard, how can we deserve to live in it?"
"There are so many courtyards. If they are not for us to live in, who would come here again?"
"Don't mind the goddess's business, just follow her instructions. Don't you think about where we lived when we were working in the cave?"
"There was not even a place to live. When we were mining, we were forced to sleep in caves. Just think about the life back then. It was simply not a way for human beings to live."
"It is our good fortune now. Others may not have the chance to see these things of the goddess. We should not have been here in the first place, but the goddess not only does not blame us, but also gives us a bright future. We are so grateful."
