Chapter 7: Troubles
The noisy sounds of machinery and trees breaking replaced the undulating sounds of beasts in the trees, transforming the otherwise deserted island land. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf you look at it from the top of the island, you can see that the greenery that originally covered the area is slowly dissolving and expanding into an almost regular oval shape according to a certain pattern. The gray-brown earth color and lush greenery seem to be split by an invisible hand, revealing the power behind it.
The wisdom of human beings is vividly manifested at this moment, and human beings who do not have a body of unimaginable strength are able to build and control more powerful devices to achieve things that are impossible to accomplish on their own.
Of course, in addition to the huge machines that are roaring at the moment, there are still some workers not far from it who use primitive tools to clean up the site, and continue to perform inefficient work.
At this moment, a young man sitting in the cockpit of the machine, through the tempered window on the right-hand side, could glimpse the busy people, but there was obvious disdain on his face.
Of course, even so, he has not forgotten his job. Directly in front of the young man's position is a low-profile light screen that constantly displays a series of image data. The young man's fingers never stopped, constantly tapping on the light screen and typing a series of programs to drive the behemoth that sat down.
"Those old things can only do some of the work of the old days." Occasionally, when he turned his gaze to the workers who were cleaning the site, the invisible sneer of the youth seemed to separate them from himself.
"Scoll, how's the work going over there? The goals that Mr. Arritez set with us yesterday would do well as soon as possible. The communicator in the cockpit sounded the voice of a middle-aged man.
"It's just the beginning, there are a lot of large trees here, but fortunately, I don't have to gnaw on the hard stones like yesterday." The young man naturally glanced at the scene in front of the cockpit, and said after estimating the mechanical capabilities.
"Today, the priority is to solve the road paving work in the C2 area, which is the main road in the scheduled plan, and other places can be put down first." The middle-aged man who served as the supervisor passed on his voice, but it made the young people a little unhappy.
"Hey, how's it going over there? I won't be able to finish my job without materials. The young man asked casually as he called in his robotic arm to remove the trees in the area.
"It's almost finished, but it's mainly due to the lack of capacity, and I'll talk to Mr. Arrithes about the materials." The middle-aged man seemed to be able to understand the troubles of young people's work, and said after a moment of silence.
"So don't bring those old things that don't work, what else can you do but clean them." The young man caught a glimpse of his mechanical retreat being blocked by a worker holding a shovel, and he couldn't help but whistle a warning before continuing to complain to the middle-aged man.
"There's nothing else to do here, so I can only help you deal with things?" , The middle-aged man seemed to be mobilizing machinery to clean up something, and replied casually.
"Oh? How much more do I want to thank you? It's the same without them. The young man unabashedly expressed his contempt for his fellow citizens who resembled him, and laughed at it.
"I have to say I agree with you on this, Skoll. But these are the men Mr. Aritus has invited, and I can't get rid of them like I did with you. "The middle-aged man who is in the port and is responsible for the deployment of the whole team at the same time seems to be a threat.
"Anyway, they are short-lived ghosts who don't live to be 50 years old, and they will roll down one day......" The young man's voice seemed to be lowered, and he was still somewhat in awe of the middle-aged man who was in charge of the construction team.
"Hello? Sain, did you lose your breath or did the machine sink into the sea? Listening to the faint exclamation coming from the communicator, the young man said something more casually.
"Hey, I just saw those ladies passing by outside the harbor and didn't bother to waste time talking to you." The middle-aged man laughed intentionally or unintentionally.
"It's not like I haven't seen it before, and you can't see it or not, you're just wasting your time." The young man recalled the young girls he had seen when he handed over the task in the town guard mansion before, and although he still had memories of being shaken by his amazing beauty, the reason in his heart was to suppress some impossibilities.
"That's not right, no matter how you say it, it will feel good to watch, it's better than staring at those old things." The middle-aged man who was operating the mechanical expansion of the channel berth at the port explained it this way.
Although the two of them had been chatting in the communication channel, the tasks they were responsible for were carried out in an orderly manner, far more efficiently than the workers who used primitive methods to build the site.
The girl, who had just finished her work on the reef in the northern part of the island and made a detour to return home, entered the town guard mansion from the rebuilt port in the west.
When the girl stepped onto the island from the channel outside the harbor, she could see that this place was different from the deserted scene she had seen a few days ago, and the harbor, which had been abandoned by plants, was now completely new and in full swing. Special workers driving large construction equipment are salvaging and sweeping the silt and debris under the waterway and berths so that the follow-up ships can dock normally; Two different warehouses are being set up in the right direction of the port to store the building materials brought in from Blecado; Workers walking on the outside of the port site used rudimentary tools to build the basic shore defenses.
Amid the sound of metal crashing, the most critical port of the North Island Town Guard is being built as planned, bringing the glory of human civilization back to the place.
The girl gently tied her flowing white hair, staring at the port that had undergone great changes and couldn't help but sigh. There are some aspects of the unique power of human beings that are incomparable to the shipwives. If only the power of destruction and destruction is counted, whether it is the murderous deep sea or the shipwives who use ship suits, they can suppress most of the technological equipment that humans have at the moment.
But it's hard to get them to create everything here. As the most mature of all the girls, Veneto naturally knows that construction is more difficult than destruction, so he has never looked down on humans.
The girl who walked on the newly compacted gravel road walked quickly to a house temporarily made of steel frames and iron plates, and the girl standing in the door could notice the young man in the room who was seriously engaged in official business.
The young man who unbuttoned his uniform and only had a pure white shirt left was manipulating something quickly in front of the two light screens in front of him, as if he had no intention of stopping for the time being. Just from a distance, you can see the rapid flow of information and light on the light screen, and the young man who holds the position of the commander of the North Island Town Guard Mansion needs to be responsible for supervising and adjusting the work on the entire island at this moment, and there is no time to even temporarily stop and rest.
The girl waited calmly for a few minutes before she heard the familiar but slightly tired voice of the young man:
"Come in, I'm still dealing with the situation over there just now, and I've delayed a little." The boy put down his work for a while, only occasionally bowing his head and scanning the message on the light screen.
"The Admiral seems to be very busy, and some things are not in a hurry to be resolved now, which can be postponed for a while." Looking at the young man's slightly deteriorating mental state, Veneto admonished softly.
"Alas...... To be honest, it's a bit tiring, but it's all a problem that needs to be solved urgently, and I can't put it off any longer. The reconstruction of the port is almost completed today, and the rudimentary framework of the town and town has not yet been erected, let alone other places that have not yet been rebuilt, such as the reconstruction of the driving range in the northern reef area you went to and the relaying of the submarine fiber optic cable...... It felt a lot more troublesome than the time when the Georgetown Town Guard. ”
Even a teenager with a strong mind unnaturally showed fatigue under the pressure of multitasking, and complained to the girl in front of him. Although there was previous experience in dealing with similar matters, it was only a matter of repairing a port, which was quite different from a complete reconstruction. Aritaus was still able to solve some unfamiliar work after consulting with a source he had met not long ago.
But the girl who witnessed the young man's expression at this moment had some complicated feelings rising in her heart.
With a sharp mind, she naturally knew that the young man could show a slightly fragile side, and it was precisely because he had a fairly close relationship with herself that she was a little happy when she came back to her senses.
"The Admiral should also pay attention to rest, too much fatigue is not conducive to long-term work." Of course, Veneto would not use the blunt exhortation and justification of the teenager as before, but just let the teenager notice the disadvantages of doing so. By the way, she opened a sealed bottle of drinking water from the office, and manipulated the radiant energy into heat energy to make two cups of coffee, and handed one of them to the teenager.
"Thanks...... There is only drinking water and nutrition bars here, and it is ...... trouble to do anything", the boy turned his gaze slightly to the messy wiring and equipment in the room, but he couldn't see anything related to life.
"The northern and eastern areas have been cleared and no higher risk lives have been confirmed." After waiting for the boy to rest for a while, Veneto began to report on his previous mission.
"Yes, the safety hazard has been solved. But the construction of the north will have to wait for some time......" the boy said after tapping on the screen and marking something on the map.
"Aren't there any tricky mutations?" The boy asked again as if to confirm what information was.
"Haven't found it yet, and at most it's just something similar to the acid trees that came before." , recalling his work some time ago, Veneto responded.
In the depths of the jungle where no one has been set foot for a long time, some strange mutated life forms will naturally appear, and it is in the past few days that Veneto is responsible for exterminating these lives on the island.
"It's hard work, so please help me complete some official duties next, it's too much." , slightly confirmed in the list that Veneto did not have a position at the moment, and said after thinking about it.
With the addition of Veneto, the originally more complex file files have also been sorted out rapidly, and the girl who has really come into contact with the reconstruction work of the town guard mansion at this moment seems to be a little troubled after seeing something at this moment.
"Admiral? The current progress of the project seems to be limited by the transportation of raw materials? The girl noticed the note added not long ago when she was flipping through the copy, and asked out loud.
"After all, it needs to be transported from Brecado to this side, and it takes about eight hours to make a round trip under normal circumstances, plus the loading and unloading time also takes more than nine hours, and at present, it can only be transported once a day with only one ship." Arites raised his head slightly, looked at the sun and shadows that had been deflected, and after a slight glance at the time, he knew that it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
Navigating at night in deep-sea areas is quite dangerous, and even when transporting between two townsmen, it needs to be taken into account. Therefore, it can only be limited to daytime transportation, which greatly limits the capacity.
"Why don't you apply for one more ship to carry out the transportation? Was there a restriction on this in the previous agreement? Veneto, who was looking through the documents, asked.
"There are not enough escort personnel...... "The young man sighed with an inexplicable look.
Hearing this, Veneto was slightly stunned, and then began to check the tasks of the shipwives in the town guard's mansion. It was Suzuya, Mogador, and Lan who carried out the transportation mission today, while Anne, who was still in the area of the town guard, was cleaning up the surrounding sea safety hazards with Des Moin and Betty, and annihilating the lurkers in the deep sea.
Coupled with the fact that he needed to help Aritas with his official duties, all the personnel in the town guard had already been assigned tasks, and no more forces could be mobilized.
Veneto, who looked at this situation, frowned slightly, but for the time being, he couldn't think of any good way.
The young man could only smile wryly at the moment. With his psychic powers, it wasn't a problem to summon new companions. However, the construction of the second spiritual network hindered him from continuing to expand the power of the fleet. The previous attempt to guard the Georgetown Town Mansion was also unsuccessful, which made the boy a little depressed.
But he knew that this matter could not be solved in a hurry, and he had always been relatively peaceful. But at the moment, after encountering the dilemma of lack of manpower, I still really understand some of the knowledge I learned in the academy.
It's just that the official admiral with a standard six-member ship girl formation can barely support a small town guard mansion, and only a larger number of ship girls can maintain the normal operation of a town guard mansion. However, the vast majority of ordinary admirals would have been stuck at the second threshold of this career for a year and a half, greatly limiting the idea of expanding the fleet.
As the two of them pondered how to solve the problem, a message from Anne from the psychic network caused Aritaus's face to change slightly, as if he had seen some news that surprised him.
