Chapter 103: In the Crowd
Chapter 104: In the Crowd
The conspiracy is waiting for the moment when the Gu is revealed, but Danyang, the Bell Tower, the Ye Workshop, the Princess Mansion, and the Forbidden Army Governor's Mansion are still at their own pace.
Lao Feng, who watched the bell hoisting, repented deep in his heart. He can't learn these techniques, he can't learn Ye Tao's ability to create miracles, and he can't let Xiling have such a landmark building, but this does not prevent him from appreciating and admiring such a building.
On the day of hoisting the bells, many apprentices, apprentices and foremen, including Lao Feng, gathered on the ground floor, trying to look up and watch the sound of crunching pulleys and ropes pulling straight, a total of four chiming bells weighing two thousand catties slowly rising. Once there is an accident and the bell falls, they can't escape, but everyone has always had too strong confidence in Ye Tao.
The pulley group designed by Ye Tao includes a total of 32 sets of main pulleys and 24 sets of auxiliary pulleys, the main pulley is responsible for bearing the weight and lifting the bell, and the auxiliary pulley plays a series of roles including balancing weight and avoiding risks. Even if the output of the four sets of winches is uneven, through the distribution of pulley groups, the four bells can rise smoothly and safely.
The hoisting of the bell, as if it is completed by a giant with infinite power but gentle and meticulous, in addition to the sound of squeaking and rattling, the whole hoisting is flawless, the rising speed is uniform, the positioning is accurate, after being in place, several students and workers very easily completed the connection of the bell and the beam, and then began to dismantle the pulley group step by step. A team of technicians with a higher level of skill began to connect and link the bell and the bell chamber.
Lao Feng saw all this, sighed secretly, and walked out of the bell tower. Back at the foreman's quarters, less than was already waiting.
"Less, you've got it figured." Lao Feng reminded less than for the last time.
"I've figured it out." A crazy light shot out of Lesser's eyes, "I've also disposed of the other fire oil bombs." I got some of it to the treasury of Chang Bang. It's about a mile and a half from here. When the time comes, as long as the forbidden army and those guards are in chaos. We'll have a better chance of it. There are seven brothers on the construction site, including you and me, and I have instructed them all to light a fire together when the time comes. The people who came to watch burned it clean. Lao Feng, you should hurry up and get out of the city early tomorrow morning, otherwise, the whole city will be big and you won't be able to leave. The Lord is waiting for you to go back and build such a magnificent building for ourselves. ”
In the mind of less. Lao Feng is the first craftsman in the organization. And at this moment, Lao Feng couldn't bear to tell Xiao Xiao, in fact, what he learned was quite limited, and he didn't even learn all the joints in the bell tower. He nodded. Tomorrow's trial time, many people with outstanding backgrounds will have to go up to the viewing platform and viewing hall, and it is inevitable that he and his workers will not be able to work. He disappeared at this time, and as long as he made up a random reason, no one would notice. Take advantage of the night. Lao Feng left the construction site quietly. But Lao Feng was reluctant to leave Danyang so quickly. Although it was a meticulous work, after all, he had been sweating in the bell tower for many months, and even in terms of work, he was so highly valued that he could take on the work of the observation hall, and he quietly hid in a corner of the city. I want to listen to the bell tower test time tomorrow before leaving.
Because the news of the trial report has already been released, many people in Danyang know the news, and the grand occasion of the Yicheng Bell Tower that has been rumored for several months will reappear in Danyang, which really attracted many people to watch. From early in the morning. Many people spontaneously gathered around the bell tower. Look for a place with a good line of sight, and there is an eaves or shade of trees above to stop. Those who have money in the family sit in twos and threes in the window of the restaurant and teahouse, chatting with the sea and the sky, while waiting for the moment of the trial time. In this era, there is really a lack of high-rise buildings that can block the view, even Danyang, except for the outstanding bell tower. The rest of the tallest buildings are only four floors, and they are still far away from the bell tower, and around the bell tower, there is actually a large area with a good view.
At the end of the day, a little more climbed, and a group of forbidden soldiers were dispatched. They were stationed on all sides of the bell tower and on the two roads leading to the bell tower from the council hall and the princess's mansion. It was determined a long time ago that Tan Weixin would go to the bell tower to watch the ceremony, and after the end of the early dynasty, some ministers would also come to join in the fun. In order to make do with these people's time. The trial time of the Danyang Bell Tower will also be delayed until almost noon.
The young man from Xiling Land pretended to be a noble son this time. Dressed in a silk robe and looking like two family members, the man talked loudly. There are a total of 127 Xiling lurking in Danyang's various meticulous works, secret spies, and even assassins and dead soldiers who may have been lurking for many years and may only be used once. At this moment, they have all dispersed in the surrounding crowd according to his orders. In this kind of activity where the people gather and there are thousands of empty alleys, mixing in with the crowd is the best cover. These meticulous agents, spies, and assassin killers naturally know how to find the most ideal position to attack in the crowd, how to wait for opportunities, and look for opportunities.
Ye Tao, who has successfully run Qihailou in Yicheng, seems to be extremely confident in the quality of the project and the installation of equipment this time, although there will be many important people present, but he did not come to the bell tower early in the morning to check the installation and commissioning of various equipment, let alone temporarily cramming, but only came to the bell tower a quarter of an hour earlier than the princess's car. The humble gravity elevator sent him to the viewing platform, and the dense human heads under his feet gave him a sense of accomplishment. After all, another landmark, as an architect, what kind of honor he enjoys in this era.
Tan Weixin couldn't stand the strong wind, and after the attendants set up a screen for her, she stepped onto the viewing platform.
Standing beside Ye Tao, holding on to the railing, it was the first time for Tan Weixin to watch Danyang at this height. Tan Weixin overlooked the entire city from the top of the tower, but her expression was still so clear, which was very similar to when Ye Tao first climbed up to look at it. After all, both of them were used to the height they could see from an office building. Ye Tao's previous studio was only on the twenty-sixth floor, but Tan Weixin had been working on the fifty-eighth floor before, and for these two people, the height of about 300 feet, about 100 meters, really didn't make people much interested.
"Actually, if you make the clock tower a super big music box. I might like it even more. Tan Weixin teased.
Ye Tao rolled his eyes. Does the music box come to tell the time? That sound can not be far away, besides, such a large bell tower, in the form of a music box to tell the time? Wouldn't that really become a grandfather clock that has been magnified n times? "Do you want to dig a hole and put a mechanical cuckoo ten feet tall?" Ye Tao weighed it, laughed, and said, "Don't say it, you really have to get it." I can really make it. ”
"That...... It's so magical, forget it. "Imagine that kind of scene, how can Tan Weixin only put that kind of picture in a fairy tale book.
While chatting, the two pointed to the street on the edge of the construction site at their feet, and watched as the carriages stopped, and the middle-aged and old people, fat or thin, stepped out of the carriages, arched their hands to each other, and walked towards the bell tower together. among these people. Most of them have just come from the early dynasty, and some of them are representatives of big businessmen who are close to the Ye family or the inner government. Among these people, many of them are investors in Danyang Bell Tower.
Many important people were present at the scene. But he is not sensitive to the ascension. They prefer to sit in a pergola built in the open space, drink tea and chat, and wait for the big moment to come. In the end, there were only a dozen people on the viewing platform. In addition to a few excited officials of the Ministry of Industry, Chi Yun, Chi Lei, etc., and Ye Tao have a relatively good relationship with the princess.
The arrival of many important people also brought a large number of guards and retinues, and the number of people made the entire construction site seem a little crowded.
Such a scene made the spies who were nervously watching Di Xiling nervously on the side. There are too many people, and there are a lot of people among them that they can't easily deal with.
Less than has been lurking in the bell tower since last night. In fact, he had been hiding in the elevator shaft, tying himself to the top wall of the elevator shaft with two leather ropes. Wait until the morning preparations begin to unfold. Slipped out of the elevator shaft and mingled with the workers who were doing the most basic cleaning of the observation hall. No one gave him a second look.
The large piles of construction tools and materials piled up in the hall will no longer be transported to the ground. Although there is a gravity lift system, it is a hassle to transport large quantities of things after all. Considering the various people who were about to gather and wait in the top hall, the piles of mountainous materials and tools were pushed to the edge of the wall and covered with a single piece of blue-gray cloth that was very resistant to dirt. The smaller ones took the opportunity to get under the cloth and stuck themselves in the middle of the gaps in the wooden boxes of different sizes in a very uncomfortable shape. Then he took out the flint and the fire fold and held them tightly in his hand. There was a jar of oil under his head, but it was in a large bag of lime. Wait until the time and place of the trial report. Wait until this viewing hall gathers the most people, and these people happen to be in the most enthusiastic mood. He will light the fire. The moment the fire fold ignited, the smell of fire that rushed into his nose would make him completely fearless.
Today. In addition to the personnel who adjusted and maintained the bell chamber and the bell, from the time Ye Tao arrived at the construction site, workers from other aspects of the entire bell tower were successively asked to go down to the ground. This is true even for those who work through the night to finish the resonance room. But there was no sense of frustration at being excluded from such a grand event. Today, as long as the trial registration can be carried out smoothly, all workers can get a red envelope equivalent to half a month's salary. And among these workers gathered below and looked up, the spy from Xiling was ready.
Among these few people, only two are using workers to disguise their identities, and the other four are like that old Feng, who came to learn the craft secretly. But since they are secret spies, they have more or less basic combat and sabotage training, and after they assisted Xiao Xiao and Lao Feng to hide all those fire oil bombs, they discussed that once the fire oil bombs hidden in Chang Feng's warehouse were ignited, once the crowd was in chaos, they would try their best to ignite the fire oil bombs hidden all over the construction site. All kinds of wood and stone are piled up on the construction site, and it is impossible to inspect them every day, leaving them with plenty of time and space to hide things.
However, variables have arisen.
