Chapter Twenty-Eight: It's Not Over Yet

The most painful thing for people is not to have near-death experiences, but to have one near-death experience after another - to be scared to death even if you are not dead.

Of course, it may be stinky to death by yourself. This time, though, Bowitt had become proficient, and the sphincter muscle tightness didn't allow him to poop and like he did last time.

"Bang! ――”

A loud bang was followed by cracking, grinding, and crashing between the timbersβ€”and Bowwitt, who found himself still alive, looked back and saw that the original part of the bridge house was completely gone......

The excavator driver saw the structure of the wooden beam bridge clearly, and of course the shovel did not hurt the bridge itself, but the elbow swept three thick load-bearing columns in a row.

As soon as the load-bearing column was broken, the bridge immediately could not bear the weight of itself and the bridge house, and tilted to the side of the broken column. In just a few milliseconds, the remaining two load-bearing columns, although strong, could not stop the entire bridge plate from being crushed by shear force in the middle.

The load-bearing columns and bridges are a single unit. As a result of the bridge breaking in the middle, the intact load-bearing columns on both sides went from bearing pressure to withstanding the tension of the broken bridge falling - and then the entire bridge, along with the houses built on it, fell into the sewage ditch, splashing countless mud and water.

"Huh?" Bowett had just recovered from his NDE when he found that the bridge house was gone, and the wall behind him was crumbling.

It all turned out to be too fast, and when his instincts began to react and drive him to run towards the door, the unsupported "special second floor" smashed right on top of him.

Blessings and misfortunes are never distinguishable from each other. The moment the unconscious and temporarily unconscious Bowwitt was smashed, of course, he cursed the useless and damned two-story slab that he had made himselfβ€”but after the whole house had collapsed, Bowwitt probably should be thankful for the loose slab.

"I'm rubbing, it's really collapsed?" The excavator driver looked at the wooden house in front of him with a bewildered expression, dumping directly in the direction of the gate, blowing up a cloud of smoke and dust, "This proper tofu slag project!" I declare no responsibility for its collapse! ”

"It's, save people!" The thin man standing behind the excavator shook his head helplessly, and waved his big hand - this life wants to see people, death wants to see corpses, and if you die, this nail household is unlucky to die by himself, and he must have an explanation to the above.

The spire of the wood-covered linoleum was still intact, and a dozen workers shouted in unison to dig it up from the pile of wood and throw it aside.

The four walls of this house are made of wooden posts and slats, and if one side is not guaranteed, it will be a loss--just the excavator has broken the bridge, and by the way, the bridge house has also pulled a load-bearing wall into the ditch for burial, and this house is naturally unsustainable. No amount of sloping beams, roof beams, or nails could stop the empty roof from knocking it down.

"Huh? And suspended ceilings? "The driver who had already gotten off the excavator couldn't help but feel hot when he saw that there was still a thin layer of wood after the wall under the roof was removed." This kid is really clever, and the eight achievements are under this plank. ”

"Well, you're right. Ay! A couple of brothers over there! Don't move that rotten piece of broken wall, first remove all the things on this ceiling! ”

This "suspended ceiling" is made up of wooden strips under multiple wooden planks, and it is inevitably a little brittle and cannot withstand lifting - without lifting, it is impossible to dump all the broken wood and iron nails on it. But if people go up to pick up the hand, they are afraid of stepping on the nails below: if they don't die and are trampled to death, it will be a big deal.

There was no way out, so the workers had to turn back to the pickup truck, take out the axes and hammers again, and check little by little to see if there was anyone underneath.

Thankfully, the room wasn't big enough - a little in the middle of the five-minute mark, a worker was holding a plank and shouting that he had found Bowitt.

"This kid wasn't stoned to death?" Hearing the news, Doniva was extremely impatient and struck the cover of the leather notebook with the tip of a ballpoint pen, "Why don't you think he waits for death in the middle of the bridge?" Hey, that's a blessing. ”

Advisor Zhao, who brought the information, smiled bitterly: "Yes, I know that His Majesty is very dissatisfied with him and wants him to lose his life in an accident, but doesn't this make the workers find him alive?" Your Majesty, the king of the country, why should you be angry with a broken family who is rolling around......"

"Is he in an ambulance now? I don't think you should waste this money, just throw him into the mine like those bastards of the Western Expeditionary Army. Ah, the Hazefinger family may want to beg for a corpse? Then just kill him and hand him over to his family. ”

Whenever Doniva said the bloodier words, the ballpoint pen in his hand became more and more powerful. Yes, he doesn't usually like to manage such trivial matters, but now that Bowett-Hazefinger has clearly touched his bottom line, he has drawn out all his temper - this is all in this way, and he wants Doniva to let him go?

"Let's talk about whether we can save it alive or not." Advisor Zhao rolled his eyes and decided to temporarily press the situation of this waste - if he really wanted to take the life of anyone in the current Elta-controlled area, with the strength of the Chinese side, he would be able to settle the account within half an hour? It's not that China doesn't have the ability, it's just that what Bowett has done hasn't crossed the threshold.

"But Your Majesty, let's put it another way."

"Huh?"

"If he hadn't stopped your convoy, and if the matter hadn't ended in a 'public trial' form, but had only become a record of the municipal office and the police's official affairs, or even a number, a full stop, would you still be suspicious of our Chinese grassroots personnel?"

The ballpoint pen that Emperor Doniva threw halfway down the road instantly froze along with his hand.

"When did you find out?"

"I don't know when." Advisor Zhao showed a thick black smile. "I just want to tell you that we really have no interest in oppressing your people, and it is not good for us to oppress your people. You can rest assured in this regard. ”

"I know that." It took a long time for Doniva to get his face and expression back to normal. "After living here for a long time, it's natural that you start to suspect certain things."

"So, you have to thank this Bowett for paying a little bit to let you know what's really going on in the outside world. It may be a bit of a big price, but I don't think he needs to pay anything extra. Consultant Zhao made an erasure gesture, "What do you think of this merit and demerit?" ”

"Well," said Doniva, who simply descended the steps, "if you think it's easy to deal with this bastard, then you can consider him your 'model of transformation.'" Of course, if you think it's troublesome to deal with him, or if he somehow hits your bottom line, then you can be ruthless and don't need to ask my opinion again. ”

"Yes."

"And what's next?" Doniva stretched, "It's not early, I have other arrangements for the afternoon." ”

"The Hilqi shipyard built by our side is now on the right track, and after the construction of the dock and slipway is completed, we can start to build usable ocean-going ships, and I think it is time to represent the Chinese side on overseas trade issues and ask for your opinions and suggestions......

"Opinions? Suggestion? I don't remember how bold the old Elta Empire was to steal the job of the Bimonthly Church. Doniva leaned back on the chair and began to laugh at herself, "The only seafarers in Elta were trained by the ships of the Church of the Two Moons, and although they speak the same language, they become more and more like the people of the Church of the Two Moons over time, and even our people who want to go to sea to other countries take the ships of the Church of the Two Moons...... What advice do you have? Come on. None of the people we in Elta can advise you have ever been out of the Yellow Sea, nor have we encountered strong winds and waves. ”

"Since you think so, then we are temporarily in charge of the entire Elta Empire's foreign trade, import and export customs taxes, and naval construction?"

"You told me I don't understand, what is 'customs' for? I remember managing the import and export of goods and collecting taxes? Advisor Zhao, think about it, the old Elta Empire is asking for the shipping of the Church of the Two Moons, how dare you set up a checkpoint to restrict foreign goods? ”

"Soon there won't be any thing about the ships of the Bilunar Church monopolizing the world's shipping." Advisor Zhao's answer was sharp, "Only a weak person like the Double Moon Church would pursue the bastard trade of buying and selling, and we will use more perfect goods and more direct and transparent trade to drive them back to their hometowns completely!" ”

This is not an empty phrase. Just as Doniva had promised that the demolition of the Shield City would be a bowl of water – and indeed – as long as the Chinese side made an official, verbal or written promise, it would be carried out. Doniva has regained his conviction in this.

China does have the strength. In China, shipbuilding enterprises such as Weihai Shipyard and Beijing Shipbuilding Heavy Industry in Shandong, Tianjin Dagu Shipyard and Xingang Shipyard in Tianjin, and Huludao Bohai Shipbuilding Heavy Industry in Liaoning received large orders almost simultaneously, instead of bidding - the reason is very simple. The ship on the other side of the portal is in extremely urgent demand, and it is no longer a huge undertaking that can be completed by two companies in a short period of time.

This huge amount of production almost made the shipyard think that it was going to directly attack the small southern island - no, this amount may be enough to cross Yamatai to the east, even if all the anti-ship missiles on Yamatai's self-defense fleet are subtracted, this figure is more than enough.

What really made them realize that the ships in this order were not used on the surface of the earth was its unique way of production. The shipyards are not responsible for actually launching these large and small ships in the dockyard for sea trials, all the shipyards just make prefabricated components that can be assembled in a certain place according to the order, and then pack them up and ship them away on the train - the place of receipt is naturally confidential, but everyone knows that the ship will be goodbye to the world forever - its destination is a complete open secret.
