Chapter 423: Snow Creek Castle

The small train stopped at the foot of the mountain, and this small railway station began to take shape, and many people were busy here, and this is a big construction site. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The train unloaded the people, and the workers drove the forklifts to haul the stone down. Carambola saw that the small railway branch line was quite busy, and after a short while, another one drove over.

"It looks like the castle is being built a little bit more than expected." Da Ming said to himself with satisfaction.

At this moment, a Chinese named Liu Zhu stepped forward, and from his dress, star fruit guessed that it seemed to be an engineering captain. As expected, he is a person in charge at the foot of the mountain, with a construction team composed mostly of Chinese, specializing in integrating building materials for the construction site on the mountain.

Construction sites are always dirty, and star fruit is understandable.

At that moment a truck drove up, covered with fine sand, and a puff of dust was kicked up wherever the wheels came. Sonia pinched her nose with a look of displeasure, and waved her little hands. "You guys build a castle and you look like you're looking for efficiency."

She is Russian, and it just so happens that Liu Zhu is also a Russian speaker. "There's really no way, after all, Mr. Pugachev said that if we reduce the construction period while maintaining quality, we will be paid a lot."

It turned out that Pugachev still had this plan, and the star fruit thought it was interesting, the sooner the castle was built, then the new home with his brother would be able to move in one day earlier.

There are hundreds of workers under the mountain, and there are more construction machinery. Several large cement mixers are working, and in another large cement clearing is being made, where prefabricated slabs of reinforced concrete are being made. Since the castle was intended to be made of traditional Russian materials, they did not use clay bricks, which were the most popular in China.

In general, the construction site at the foot of the mountain was chaotic, with a bunch of workers, accompanied by vendors and workers' families. Children were playful, and there were even little boys who jumped into the creek without knowing how to be ashamed.

"Brother, look at this stream, it's changed." Star fruit pointed.

Daming is also a bright eye, it seems that because of the large water supply demand of the construction site, this creek has simply been built a small dam, and the small reservoir meets the industrial and domestic water needs.

And that's not all, in order to transport building materials and supplies to the mountain, workers built a cable car. Three steel cables pull the goods up the mountain, just like the unique way of going up the mountain in some scenic spots in China. Of course, the winding road was also built, and the cement pavement was paved with a layer of asphalt.

Soon the siblings received information on the design of the castle from the office of the general manager. Star fruit is not an architecture major, but some parts of construction and machinery are similar, and she understands the engineering drawings and has a bottom in her heart. The rendering poster is even more exciting, with a magnificent castle on the hillside, six towers forming a hexagonal castle, and a very tall tower at its core.

"Is it possible to build such a huge building on this hillside, and the foundation is solid?" Star fruit asked.

The chief engineer of the building smiled, he pointed to the ground, "This underground is all hard granite, and we explored the geology during the construction of the castle, and even inserted steel rods into the ground. "This is not really an "ancient castle", with the help of modern technology, steel as a skeleton, rock as a muscle, and concrete as a binder, integrating the whole building into a single whole.

The brother and sister were very satisfied, knowing that this is still the area of the Altai Mountains after all, and there are many earthquakes here. Future natural disasters star fruit is very clear, there will be no threatening earthquake here in Tuva in the next ten years, such as Kyrgyzstan is another large-scale, the impact on China and even the Tangnu-Ulianghai region can be ignored.

Suddenly, the star fruit was intrigued by a pattern on the drawings, a vertical elevator-like facility that actually led down the hill to the core of the castle. What's going on here?

"This is the elevator, we continue to dig the cave, and dig up after determining the location, so that you can also get to the castle in the future." The chief engineer explained.

Speaking of caves, the only cave here is definitely that one. Out of the office, the group went straight to the shelter where they had escaped the blizzard, and now the cave had been enlarged, and truckloads of earth and stone were being transported out of the cave. As the engineer said, the excavation was indeed some granite.

At this moment, some workers were scattering in all directions, and a burly man appeared in front of everyone, waving and shouting Dawai. He also said the word detonator, no, I'm afraid it's going to blow up the hole.

"Everybody get out of here, they've planted explosives and they're going to burst." Star fruit shouted and pulled her brother backwards. Cheng Manxiu was still a little confused, but fortunately, her sister reacted quickly.

With a muffled sound, a large amount of smoke and dust poured out of the cave, making it a miasma. Then a group of workers carried electric drills and ran in.

They even brought miner's lamps and glasses, and even saved masks and everything. Silicosis, both at home and abroad, some crazy miners are always too troublesome to bring some necessary equipment, especially this kind of stone mining operation, workers inhale a large amount of stone dust and eventually lead to pneumoconiosis. Such workers are paid very well and often have an incredibly short lifespan.

Star fruit buried these thoughts in the bottom of her heart, maybe she shouldn't care too much.

After resting for a while, everyone took the cable car up the mountain, and there were some workers with them.

This mountain pack does not have an exact name, but because the top of the hill is the ruins of Orlandnev Castle, it is simply called Orlandnev Mountain. Because of the construction of the observatory, the name of the other mountain bag became Observatory Hill.

"The altitude is 2,560 meters, and the mountain is 290 meters high." Star fruit looks at these geographical data, this mountain is not high.

The sun was in the west, and it began to set, and the whole land seemed a little dark.

Sonia held up her high-powered military binoculars, the air was clear, and she saw the kowtowers working in the oil fields.

"It's really cold from above." Cheng Manxiu curled up her arms, and a gust of wind hit a little cold.

"Then you'd better put on some clothes." With that, her sister unloaded her backpack.

Daming's attention is not in this beautiful scenery, let the girls be intoxicated by the beautiful scenery. He was concerned about the construction of the castle, the site was indeed huge, but unfortunately it seemed that the number of workers was still small. The plan was to call the old squad leader Huang Tielong and his construction team, but they also had their own projects.

Old Maozi always seems a little lazy, or the most diligent Chinese. Daming's cognition is deep-rooted, and Huang Tielong is a very trustworthy person. When I go back in September, I will discuss with him and let hundreds of workers come over to speed up the construction.

Time is ticking, the sky is getting darker, and the sun is getting bigger. In the evening, the wind in the mountains is strong, and the cool climate in the tens of degrees Celsius is very pleasant, and it is indeed time to consider a place to spend the night at night.

The plan was to go to the observatory, and Da Ming looked up at the sky, where Venus and Mars had already appeared. The air quality is so good that at night it will be a magnificent Milky Way. I am afraid that the scene will make the girls reverie even more, and they will definitely be more excited than the way they are talking and laughing and dancing in the big forest.

Inadvertently, Daimyo Castle had walked behind the star fruit and caressed her shoulder with his hand. "How? It's going to be a huge castle in the future, are you happy? ”

"Of course I'm happy. However, the ruins of the castle were demolished, and where is the monument cross? ”

"Over there, it's very inconspicuous." Da Ming pointed his finger and said, "It's a pity that Orlandnev Castle has disappeared into history, and besides, it was destroyed in the war after all, so it is a bit unlucky to continue to use the old name." ”

"Brother wants to change his name?"

"Yes, this is my gift to you, and the naming rights are yours."

It's like naming your child, but it's your home. Sonia and the Cheng sisters both had some ideas, seeing that the castle under construction, the huge city walls had begun to take shape, and this spectacular building really needed a good name.

It's related to jumping here, star fruit recalled. That winter, we camped on the top of the mountain, and in the extremely low temperatures, everyone drilled animal skin sleeping bags, and they even left a special mark in a hidden corner. Alas, that little fart was almost frozen wood.

It was cold and snowy, especially near the creek below the mountain, where there was a brief clash with the bandits. Suddenly, a word came up with it, and it came from a certain RPG game.

"Let's call it Snegrik Castle." Carambola Road.

Sonia and Daming nodded, sounding interesting.

"So what does that mean?" Cheng Manxiu asked. She was the only one who didn't know anything about Russian, but she thought the name was pretty good.

"You think it's good, basically you think it's a foreign place name, and it sounds like it's going to be lofty. The reason why I feel this way is because language is not our mother tongue, and this Snegrik means snowflake stream. Carambola paused, "This place is called Snow Creek Castle." ”

Cheng Manxiu clapped his hands, "I think this name is also very good." ”

"Since everyone has decided, my sister and I have a new home with this name, and when it is completed, you will all have to come and live for a while."

The crowd nodded.

The sky is dark, and the sunset is setting down, and the construction site has been lit up headlights, even at night, the workers have to work overtime.

The lights were also lit at the observatory not far away, where the night rested place, where the left-behind staff Andro and his wife Anna had been notified and were ready to greet them.

"Let's go, everybody, to the observatory. Girls, I think even the hot water for the bath is ready. ”

Sonia raised her fist with a loud bang, and everyone strode forward happily.
