See you soon Douluo

Chapter 42 Tower of Babel

The green curtain and steel pipe scaffolding are incompatible with the style of this era, but it is so shocking. Even though this building is only half completed and less than fifty meters high, it still stands out in Tiandou City.

The giant tower crane on the outside of the building is even more dazzling to see. Its slender figure and long boom make people worry that it will be blown down by a gust of wind. However, a month has passed, and the tower crane has grown taller day by day, but it is still as stable as before.

Every day, people will watch how the tower crane grows taller by itself. Every time the crane arm lifts a section of parts and then installs it on its own in a series of dazzling operations, the residents of Tiandou City can't help but marvel. Cleverly designed.

As for the source of power, that is not a problem. Without electricity and motors, wouldn't there still be soul masters and soul beasts? The essence of the tower crane lies in the application of the lever principle and the pulley block. This is a different world. Let alone a soul master, ordinary people with a lot of strength can push the winch.

A thousand-year-old buffalo that has been tamed and docile pulls the winch day and night. It is so powerful that Chengying worries that the steam train he plans to develop cannot compete with the cow-pulled train...

Chao Tianxiang looked at the busy construction site, her eyes full of amazement, her mouth opened in an O shape, and she subconsciously asked: "Whose mansion is that building in front? It can be built so high!"

"That is the teacher's new home. It has not been built yet. The completed height is at least twice as high as it is now." Tang Chen kindly explained to the two of them. Although he was also surprised, after receiving a certain degree of basic education, It doesn't feel weird.

"Teacher's mansion?" Even Meng Shu had a look on his face. He guessed that the teacher must be very rich, but this was too exaggerated! He almost thought that the teacher was going to build a Tower of Babel.

In fact, many people have this idea. Many people in Tiandou City call the building under construction the Babel Tower. There is really no more appropriate name than this.

"Actually, it can't be said to be my teacher's residence. There are only a few of us, which means we occupy certain floors in this building. The rest of the buildings are open for rent." Cheng Ying wondered whether he should arrive early. Douluo builds a place similar to Wanda, which can be used as the headquarters in the future.

It is both majestic and full of historical heritage. With the development of business, this thing will definitely exist in the future. The market is like this. If you don’t occupy it, someone will naturally occupy it. Chengying thought that he would search his own memory when he had time and put Wanda’s early The business strategy is sorted out.

The car was parked at the entrance of the construction site. A group of engineers wearing blue overalls and yellow safety helmets were hiding underneath and making a fuss. Each one was holding a pencil and pointing at the drawings. It was obvious that while the building was being built, They are also frantically summarizing experience and absorbing nutrients.

Seeing a car parked at the door, everyone stopped immediately. Only their boss could do such a weird thing. They ignored the argument and saluted Cheng Ying who got out of the car.

"I've seen the great sage!" This was out of real respect. Only when they really started to take action did they realize how important what Cheng Ying had taught them before was.

The experiences they were once proud of began to fail when they reached the height of thirty meters. Now every time they increase the height of one meter, they have to go through countless discussions and sum up new and valuable experiences. The commitment that gave them all this Ying, naturally respect from the heart.

"You don't need to be so formal. You are all craftsmen of a great country, and your status should be improved. It's not good to be treated as a tool all the time. Let's see who dares to look down on you when this building is completed." Cheng Ying also admired this group of people. , every era has such a group of guys who are good at studying. He started to be a little confused about the discussion just now by these people.

"These are all gifts from you, we dare not take credit." A white-haired old man stood up and bowed. Chengying remembered that his name was Lou Kong, and he didn't know that he would sacrifice his life to create the Buddha's Nu Tang decades later. Is there any genetic relationship between Lian and Lou Gao?

"There's no point in being polite. Forget about common etiquette. Let's talk about any difficulties you've encountered. I'll try my best to help you solve them." Cheng Ying, as a modern person, has a very weak sense of hierarchy.

Lou Kong was also familiar with Cheng Ying's temperament, so he stopped being polite and went straight to the point: "There are many problems during the construction process, but there is only one big problem. The tower crane can only rise another thirty meters at most, and we don't have enough soul beast bones to build it." The bolts and nuts of the tower crane are strong enough, but the strength of the connection is insufficient. Eighty meters is already the limit.

The opinion we discussed was that after 80 meters, the tower crane should be transferred into the building and lifted together with the building structure. However, this will cause the internal space of the building to be reduced. I don’t know if it is feasible. "

"I've already said that you are fully responsible. It doesn't matter if you shrink down. It was originally used to practice your skills. Even if it collapses in the middle of the construction, it is still worth it as long as you are still alive." Cheng Ying waved his hand, indicating that you can spend whatever you want. , if something goes wrong, I will take care of it. These words made the engineers look at each other in confusion, and then they were overjoyed. They were all masters and had their own ideas. What they usually hated the most was their employers dictating whether to install a sculpture here, build an ancestral hall there, or build a building that occupied less than two acres of land. The house could not wait to watch every day, as if they were afraid that they would steal the bricks.

In comparison, Cheng Ying's promise was more satisfying than giving each of them ten thousand gold.

"I can give out tens of millions of gold soul coins just to let my subordinates practice. In this Tiandou City, except for Brother Cheng, I'm afraid no one will be so generous." A familiar voice came from behind, and Cheng Ying turned around and saw Xue Ye fanned her folding fan and stood behind him. He was probably the prince who liked to visit privately incognito the most. I don’t know how he became the emperor in the end.

"I feel really bad for spending tens of millions of dollars! But it's worth it for the accumulation of skills!" Cheng Ying said with a smile: "His Highness secretly left the palace again."

"You have wronged me. This time I came out specifically to investigate the design of Brother Cheng's underground drainage system. If the budget is within the acceptable range of my father, the construction will start next year. After all, no one wants to step on filth on the roadside. It’s quite embarrassing to have to pave the ground with loess every time my father leaves the palace.”

The ancient emperors needed water to sprinkle the streets and pave the ground with loess not just for the sake of style. Walking on the avenues of this era, the emperor might suddenly step on thunder if he didn't do this. The hygienic conditions are so painful.

"Oh! By the way, I heard from my father that Brother Cheng had made great contributions to disaster relief before. My father is preparing to knight you and is going through the process now." Xue Ye seemed to have suddenly thought of this matter.

Cheng Ying was stunned when he heard this. The figures of Du Wei, Roland, and other senior lords came to mind one by one, and he blurted out: "Do you have a fiefdom?"
