The General of Spades grabbed him by the collar and reached out to pull his gun from his body, holding it against his head.

"Believe it or not, I'll let you meet the helpers now, see them in hell!"

"Ahh No! The engineer's face was earthy, and he covered his face with his hands.

Seeing this, a pro-guard immediately bowed to the general's ear: "Calm down! General, you can't kill him, this person is the chief expert, it's easy to kill him, but our progress will be slower......"

Hearing this, the General of Spades slowly put down the gun in his hand, and his murderous eyes swept over the faces of the men in white one by one.

He pushed the chief expert just now, then turned around and said coldly: "Listen, don't say that you have increased your workload a little, if you can't complete it on time, I will lose my head!" ”

All the engineers nodded in agreement, and no one dared to object, and no one would make any other demands under the threat of gunpoint.

"I'm going to go to the middle to see how the project is going and open the floodgates." The General of Spades ordered.

Through the ring glass, a hanging ladder enclosed by a fence protrudes into the pit in the center of the base. The General of Spades was standing on a hanging ladder, looking out over the entire gigantic project below.

Beneath the strange cross-shaped incision is a large, thread-like eggshell-shaped artifact that resembles an old coal stove.

The upper surface of the eggshell is smooth on the ground, with many sharp bumps. Each of these protrusions, each as high as a three-story building, is too numerous to count, like a fortress.

Busy workers are covered with a heavy mechanical shell - a bipedal machine, and under the action of the mechanical arm, they lift thick steel pipes and put them into the grooves on the eggshell and splice them together.

In the middle of the room, several engineers quickly pressed the buttons with their fingers, forming an assembly drawing on the screen, guiding the workers below who operated the slings and mechanical claws to install the parts piece by piece.

On the other side of the eggshell section, a section of about 400 meters has been cut, and the unlaid metal plates are exposed. Several even larger hoisting machines move back and forth on it, like the weapons of the cannons of old ships, assembled by workers inside.

"How much material do we have left?" Spade asked the guards beside him.

"There is still 7% of the scheduled volume, and if the engine is completed, it should be 8%, and if the materials are not in place next week, all the work will be stopped in five days." The guard said after holding a tactical board with a screen and carefully looking at the progress of the project.

"5 days?" Spade let out a long sigh......

"But if the progress can be slowed down, maybe it won't be bad. While waiting for the replenishment of materials, the engineers and workers should be given a rest, which is also ......"

The guards cautiously spoke their minds.

"Shut up! Absolutely not! The progress of the project cannot be slowed down, this is an iron law, and no one can delay it! The green tendons burst into his temples and glared at the guard.

"Yes, yes! Checkmate...... What about the materials? ”

"I'll figure it out!"

The General of Spades snorted heavily, as if he was making up his mind.

"By the way, what's going on with our emperor's side? Still sick? ”

"If you don't mention it, I almost forgot! According to the news from the guards in the morning, our emperor stayed in his room for 2 consecutive days, did not step out of the room, and ......"

"And how?" The General of Spades asked hurriedly.

"The emperor sent a lot of salt in, a lot." The guard replied quickly.

"A lot of salt? Why does he want salt? The General of Spades froze, frowning slightly, doubt occupying his mind.

After a while, he seemed to come back to his senses, and immediately ordered his subordinates: "Contact the other three generals, the sooner the better, be sure to invite them here!" ”

"Yes!"

The guard saluted, and quickly turned away.

……

"Weird! This is really weird, it makes so much sense! With his head down, Spade thoughtfully walked down the suspension ladder of the bridge.

An hour later, in some hidden room deep inside the base.

When the other three generals heard the news, they all rushed over from the station, and the General of Spades stretched out his hand and motioned for the guards to go out.

"What do you think should be done? Those materials are already running out, and the emperor promised to solve them after the meeting in Mine City, now I'm afraid it's too late! ”

The General of Spades told the current progress of the project and the problems faced.

After listening to his account, several generals fell silent.

There was no eye contact occasionally, and everyone's hearts were like a boulder pressed against them, unless the emperor could get the materials from the Mine City, they all knew very well that this problem was unsolvable.

The old general stood up suddenly after a moment, and the white beard trembled at the corner of his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he shook his head and didn't say anything, and began to walk back and forth in the room.

"If you have any ideas, you can say it, we are all born and died together! And you're the old man who has been with your master for so long! The tall and thin General of Hearts was much younger, and when he looked up at him, he couldn't help but speak.

General Fang Pian stopped, looked at the other three people, frowned, and said, "I dare to ask: Do you think there is a problem with the master's order now?" ”

"This ......," the generals asked each other with eye probes.

"I'll start with that! Although I have the shortest time with my master, in my judgment, his style has changed these days, especially making decisions without consulting us, which has never been done before, is my most intuitive feeling! ”

General Plum also stood up, his dark-skinned chest trembling slightly.

The General of Hearts glanced at General Plum Blossom and said, "I think that after that guy with the iron arm came, the emperor's mental state was very wrong!" A lot of instructions are too hasty! ”

"I feel that way, too! The order to build is obvious...... It's also problematic. This kind of big project, let alone 30 days, even 3 months can not be completed. The commissioning of those equipment alone will take more than three months, let alone build it all according to his requirements! ”

The General of Spades said, and stood up as well.

Now the eyes of the three generals are all staring at the old general of Fang Pian.

He looked at the other three generals, silent, and his cold gaze swept back and forth on everyone's faces: "Then what do you say?" Hmph - I don't think that's what you think, do you? ”

"What?" The General of Spades said.

"What do you mean?" The General of Hearts said.

"That's what you say! Explain it to me! General Plum said.

"Several of you are all fighting with the master, can have today's achievements, dominate the side, isn't it because of the master's eloquence? I'd like to ask, what do you guys want to do? The old general sneered and stopped talking.

"You!"
