The No. 7 furnace has been dismantled, and all the parts that need to be transported to Dodan Town have been packed into large wooden boxes, with detailed details with numbers written on the outside of the wooden boxes.
Hamlin was worried that all the parts would become extremely confusing when transported to the installation site in Dodan Town, so each wooden box had a unique number, and these numbers were carried out in a specific order. Each box
Part interfaces also have specific combination symbols.
Although there are no drawings for the disassembly and assembly of these furnaces, these sequence numbers are their best construction drawings.
However, these serial numbers can only be read by Hamlin and his group of craftsmen.
He did all this work himself...
Therefore, he needed to personally lead the team to Duodan Town in the Bailin plane for assembly.
The night before leaving, Hamlin called together the craftsmen of the steel workshop. Not all craftsmen were willing to leave their hometowns. This time Hamlin only took with him forty-three craftsmen of the steel workshop. These craftsmen were willing to leave their homes.
He rushed to Bai Lin's plane purely to solve his embarrassing family situation.
With this generous income, at least for a short period of time, there is no need to worry about life.
Tonight is a practice for Hamlin and the craftsmen who are about to go to the Bailin plane, so the Uncle Sam's Tavern in the slum area is full of craftsmen from the steel workshop. The pub seems very lively, everyone is drinking ale and chatting.
Touching the sky.
"Hamlin, don't forget to write to us when you get there." Several craftsmen who did not participate in this trip came over, hooked Hamlin's shoulders, and knocked the foamy ale glass over.
The wooden wine glass made a dull sound.
Hamlin took a sip of the ale that was still slightly mixed with wheat grains. It was obvious that the ale was not filtered that well.
"I know, I've settled down there, and I'll ask you to take my family with you and rush to Bailin. Now we go to the front station and will bring you good news." Hamlin said to a tall figure.
said the strong craftsman.
The craftsman had a somewhat tangled look on his face, but there was nothing he could do about it. He had four children at home waiting to be fed.
Although this trip can bring him a lot of income, he is worried that it will be his last income in this life.
Then the small family he worked so hard to build was shattered like a soap bubble. His wife became someone else's wife, his children became someone else's children, and the house and savings he worked so hard to save became someone else's property. He didn't dare to gamble.
.
Therefore, in the face of favorable conditions, the strong craftsmen with excellent craftsmanship retreated.
An old craftsman next to him was very open-minded, and under the influence of alcohol, he said to the craftsmen who had given up and rushed to Bai Lin's plane:
"Last time when those Thunder Rhino caravans came to our place, I inquired that although it was a small town, there was a large forest belonging to Archon Suldak, and there were indeed mines there.
, and the living standard is better than ours... how can I put it!"
He took another sip of ale and then said:
"I make a lot of money, and my daily expenses are very small. In daily life, wealth is not important. It is said that ordinary families basically have no expenses there. They always buy baked wheat cakes from the bakery for two copper coins each.
A piece of wheat cake is enough for an adult to eat for a whole day, and their sheep only cost four silver coins, so life there is very comfortable..."
Hearing what the old craftsmen said, the craftsmen who chose to give up the trip to Bailin all felt a little regretful.
The old craftsman was stared at by so many eyes, and his drunkenness suddenly dissipated. His face turned red and he said with some embarrassment:
"But there are also disadvantages. There will be a beast tide in that place every ten years. It is said that the beast tide just broke out last year. The army of Archon Suldak was stationed there. They were the ones who resisted the beast tide. I heard
Said that many people died in the town."
The craftsmen immediately became frightened, but then one craftsman added at the end:
"There were also many people who made a lot of money in that beast wave..."
Hamlin continued: "We will help them assemble the furnace, and we will also conduct subsequent debugging and trial operation. When the furnace can operate normally, we can choose to leave or stay there..."
Uncle Sam, the tavern owner, asked Hamlin: "Have you bought all the tickets?"
Hamlin added a piece of ice and two pieces of pineapple to the wine glass, took a big sip, and then said: "Tomorrow we will go to the airport terminal to take the magic airship..."
A craftsman crowded around Hamlin said expectantly: "To be honest, this is the first time in my life to take an airship. I would be reluctant to buy a ticket for two gold coins."
The craftsmen who had given up going to Bai Lin's plane gathered around, raised their glasses to Hamlin and his group and said:
"Have a nice trip, everyone."
Hamlin also raised his glass with everyone and said loudly:
"Wait for the good news when we arrive successfully!"
"Um."
On a summer night, the cheers in the tavern spread far away...
…
Before Earl Lake Cushing left, he left a letter to Suldak:
(Dear Duck:
I'm very sorry, but I have to leave without saying goodbye this time. The old Count Botkamp asked me to be his lobbyist. He helped me a lot before, so I can't refuse. If the conditions are the same, please let the scales of Lady Luck tilt slightly to the side.
He tilted. He wanted his nephew in the family to run a hotel and needed to find a piece of land around the steel workshop.
There are only so many words to intercede. In order to prevent others from continuing to talk to me about these things, I decided to go to Bena City for a vacation temporarily. When everything calms down, I will return to Ruit.
When you are free, please remember to help me pay attention to the residents in the mining area. I have been trying to move them out of that dangerous area for the past two years. Unfortunately, due to the poor financial situation of Ruit City, this idea has never been realized.
Handwritten by Earl Lake Cushing...)
Suldak knew that the nobles would be enthusiastic about the restaurant plaza project, but he did not expect that Earl Lake Cushing would also be involved.
But he never expected that Earl Lake Cushing would actually decide to run to Bena City in order to avoid causing trouble for him.
Looking at the street scene speeding backward outside the window, Suldak stopped the magic caravan and decided not to see off the craftsmen in the steel workshop. Otherwise, seeing Count Lake Cushing on the airport terminal would make everyone very upset.
Awkward.
The magic caravan was parked on the street, not too far from the airport terminal.
At this time, he opened the door and jumped out of the car, and walked on the busy street to a back alley with almost no people around.
After taking a few steps, Suldak jumped up to the roof nimbly.
This building was the highest in the vicinity. He stood on the tallest building a few hundred meters away from the airport terminal. He waited for a short while before waving to the slowly rising magic airship.
On the magic airship, Hamlin and a group of craftsmen stood excitedly on the deck. They were very curious about everything on the magic airship, and very eagerly hoped that some of the parts on it were made by the steel workshop. In this case, they would definitely
Make them feel very proud.
So everyone was looking around, and they even looked for places where there was only metal.
But it is very regrettable that the magic airship is a high-end magic product... so even a screw on the airship is not made by Bena.
Although no one found the parts produced by the steel workshop, some people saw Archon Suldak standing on the roof.
So the excited craftsmen began to approach the edge of the ship's side. Everyone leaned their upper bodies out of the ship and waved goodbye to Archon Suldak.
The people on the magic airship shouted: "It's the Archon, it's the Archon Suldak who is waving to us over there."
There was a burst of joy on the deck...
The deck of the magic airship was so noisy that Count Lake Cushing, who was standing on the ship's observation deck, followed the direction they were looking at and saw Suldak at a glance.
Earl Lake Cushing was a little sad, but also a little happy...
What was sad was that he left Ruit City in a hurry this time, and no one from his family came to the airport terminal to say goodbye. What was gratifying was that Suldak came in a hurry after seeing the letter.
Earl Lake Cushing waved towards Suldak with a faint smile on his face.
…
After Earl Lake Cushing left, Suldak returned to the city hall and specifically asked Thea to find maps and related information about the iron ore area.
There are many problems left in the iron ore area, which has also been the concern of Earl Lake Cushing in recent years. The only contribution he wants to make to Ruit City is that due to the embarrassment of the Finance Department, he has not been able to remove the residents of the mining area from the abandoned areas.
From the mine to the outside.
There were originally a total of thirty-two villages and three small towns in the mining area, but those were all when the iron ore mine was operating at its best.
Later, the iron ore mines on the outskirts of Ruit were gradually hollowed out, and these dense villages and small towns disappeared little by little. So far, there are still six villages and one small town in the abandoned iron ore area, and other villages and small towns.
The towns have become deserted ghost villages and ghost towns.
There are some collapse events every year in the iron ore mine area. Every time it rains, the mining area subsides and the ground cracks are common. Occasionally, people are missing.
The old people living in the village often say that this is hollowing out the ground, and this land is a punishment for the residents here.
Surdak also felt a little helpless about this kind of thing, because the abandoned mine was worthless, and the current financial situation of Ruit City was really extremely tight, and it was impossible to spend money to help these villagers relocate.
Out of the iron ore area.
This is not to say that building a house is expensive, but moving them out of the iron ore area will face a series of troubles.
For example, if they are allowed to live outside the city, we need to help them buy a piece of land. If they are allowed to live in Ruit City, we need to help them find a simple job that can support their family and a house to live in. At this stage,
food etc...
Suldak held the file and rubbed his forehead with some pain...
