90. Opening ceremony

Zhao Bo held a square piece of cardboard in his hand, Lu Cheng clenched his left hand, and the portal on the back of his hand was projected onto the cardboard.

A large amount of white powder poured out of the portal and poured into the hole dug at the foot of the city.

The white powder is explosives, which Lujo transmits directly from the research base into the world, and then pours them into a hole in the ground above the mine.

The open-pit coal mine was mined by blasting, in which the soft soil and rock layers above the coal mine were blown up at one time, and then the rock layers were cleaned up and the coal layers pressed below were exposed.

"Captain Road, this is the last blast."

Zhao Bo watched the white explosives overflowing in the burrow, and motioned to Lu Cheng to close the portal on the cardboard.

Lu Cheng reopened his left hand, and the portal on the cardboard disappeared in an instant...

"Although it's nothing after watching it for a long time, I still want to sigh that this weird thing is quite useful."

Zhao Bo handed over the cardboard to his assistant, who usually needed a special operation vehicle to help fill the gunpowder when he was mining the mine.

The portal ability used by Roadtown saves this step.

"It would be better if it consumed less energy."

Lucheng undeniably has this teleportation ability, in addition to allowing rabbits to travel back and forth to the Atlas, it can also have many conveniences in transportation.

The problem is that the energy consumption of portals is still a big problem for Lucheng.

Lu Cheng looked at the detonating holes around him that had already stepped into the electronic detonators, and there were a total of one hundred and fifty detonators like this one above the entire mine.

The detonation was estimated to have blown up nearly a football field, and nearly 400 tons of explosives were used in the detonation.

Lucheng's current teleportation energy is 527 people, which is converted into 5,270 tons.

A single blast consumed the energy of nearly 40 people, in Zhao Bo's words, 'This amount of explosives is a small amount, we used to blow up mountains starting from 1,000 tons.' ’

"The construction of a thermal power plant also requires the energy of about 100 people, and the amount of work to lay the railroad track is the energy of 1,000 people."

Lucheng has always felt that the existing energy is completely insufficient, and the residents of Scarley can provide Lucheng with one gram of energy per day, which is already in the category of supernormal exertion.

Therefore, Lu Cheng urgently needed new leyline crystals to replenish his energy, and thinking of this, Lu Cheng looked at Nancy, who was holding his helmet with both hands in the distance.

Nancy seemed to sense that Lu Cheng was looking at her, and slightly lifted her hard hat that was blocked from view because it was buttoned too tightly.

It seems that after testing the power of black powder, this fourth princess has already had a little psychological shadow on it.

"The electronic detonators are all placed, and we can retreat to a safe position, Captain Road." After Zhao Bo checked the condition of the last blast hole, he directly took a car with Lu Cheng and stayed away from this place... Dangerous blasting areas.

"The blasting is about to begin, have the surrounding personnel been emptied?"

Uncle Zhao began to ask the soldiers who were in charge of guarding around him in the car.

"The surrounding irrelevant personnel have been emptied, the blasting area is safe, and it can be detonated at any time, and it is over."

When this sentence came from the intercom, the car in which Zhao Bo was sitting happened to drive to the safe area where Maurice III was.

"Captain Lu, we're about to start blasting, why don't you give these foreigners a primer first?"

Zhao Bo did not have a good impression of the group of priests brought by Morris III, and not long ago these priests almost fought over a hard hat.

"Let me think..."

Lucheng walked in front of Nancy and Maurice III, and the blasting area was almost set up when Maurice III arrived, so they waited here for less than ten minutes.

"Is the festival about to start?" Maurice III inquired about the city first.

"Festivals?"

The word Maurice III was very obscure in their language, and the translation that Lu Cheng could translate in his mind happened to have a ritual.

"The next thing that will be done is the opening ceremony, there will be loud noises and smoke that are normal, and remember to wear a hard hat."

Lu Cheng said again, Nancy heard it very clearly, although her mastery of Chinese was still at the entry level, but she listened to Lu Cheng and Zhao Bo's discussion, and heard many words about explosions.

So she had a hunch... The so-called mining ceremony must have something to do with gunpowder!

She clasped the hard hat on her head with both hands, and the priests behind Nancy followed Nancy's example.

Those priests who were not assigned hard hats could only do the same.

In the eyes of these priests, what might happen next was something that could be equated with the arrival of the gods.

"Ready." Lu Cheng made an OK gesture to Zhao Bobi.

"Start detonation! Countdown! Ten... Nine..."Zhao Bo began to gradually read the countdown to the detonation on the walkie-talkie.

When Zhao Bo's slow-paced voice caught the attention of Maurice III.

"What is he talking about?" Maurice III whispered to Nancy.

"Timing, he's counting from ten to one." Nancy hasn't been learning Chinese for a long time, but she can still understand the most basic number pronunciation.

"Countdown?"

Maurice III looked into the clearing in the distance, and an anticipation rose from within him.

But he didn't know what he was expecting.

At the time of Nancy's mother's death, Maurice III fell into a deep despair that even led him to suicidal thoughts.

There is no magic in the world that resurrects humans, not even necromancy.

However, the world's gods and canons all recorded this ability to resurrect humans, so Maurice III pinned his hopes on those gods and began to build temples of various gods in the country.

He thought he had shown himself to be religious enough, but he didn't get the favor of those gods, not even once.

This made Maurice III's conviction begin to waver.

It wasn't until recently that his daughter, Nancy, returned to the country, and Nancy created a barrel of explosives with the power of heavenly punishment, which convinced Maurice III once again that the gods really existed.

But Nancy directly told Maurice III that the creator of black powder was a man, not a god.

Is it really possible for a man to master such a terrifying creation? Maurice III remained skeptical about all this.

He stared at the blasting area in the distance, trying to find the figure of the god, but he saw nothing.

When Zhao Bo shouted 'zero', his assistant directly pressed the detonation button of the electronic detonator.

At this moment, even the earth shuddered under the explosives of four hundred tons of equivalent.

The 400 tons of explosives buried in the ground were enough to set off an earthquake of magnitude 5 to 6, and the electronic detonators used by Zhao Bo exploded in batches to minimize the impact of the explosion.

But standing here, Lu Cheng could still feel the ground trembling, Nancy couldn't even maintain her balance and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Lu Cheng reached out and grabbed her arm first, so that she could barely maintain her balance.

Maurice III and his knightly attendants were not so lucky, and the knights in armor themselves struggled to maintain their balance on such soft ground.

The ground shook again, and the knights who had just heard the sound and wanted to step forward to 'escort' fell to their ground before they could draw their weapons.

Maurice III, also dressed in heavy armor, sat down on the ground in a very embarrassed position.

Not to mention the group of priests, who felt the moment the sky was falling apart, they fell directly to their knees on the ground and recited some prayers that Lu Cheng could not understand.

The dirt and soot on the ground were blasted almost to a hundred meters high, and to outsiders it really looked... Something huge and terrifying appeared in the smoke.

"You have invited the coming of that god?" Maurice III stood up from the ground with his body propped up, and asked in disbelief as he looked at the collapsing ground in the distance.

"The God of Demolition? Just kidding, this is the effect of explosives, and it has nothing to do with what god it is. Lu Cheng said.

"No... For us, this is the power that only gods can grasp. Maurice III patted the dust on his body and said to Lu Cheng very seriously, "But you did it. ”

"Really?"

Lu Cheng understood what this Maurice III meant, and in this era, explosions and earthquakes of this tonnage level can basically only be done by natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions.

So in their eyes this is the legendary divine power, but the rabbits have mastered this power, and they are using it for themselves.
