Section A Chapter 25: Icebreaker Success (Vicor)
【Broadcast】Pay attention to "Reading at the starting point", get the first-hand news of 515 red envelopes, and students who have not grabbed red envelopes after the Chinese New Year can show their skills this time.
Despite the annoying noise, the crowd fell silent for a moment after hearing the loud roar of the winch driving the gears. The merchants, who were called sellers, also shouted twice at the end, and then closed their mouths in amusement.
Although there were still whispers, all that was left around was the sound of the wind and the slow "click" of gears. Looking at the two-meter-tall icebreaker with a winch and a gear disc parallel to the bottom, and a curved cone-headed robotic arm attached to the top, Vicol muttered in his heart: Why does it always feel so unreliable?
At least it looks ugly to death, and these people don't think about aesthetic design at all. Staring at the ugly contraption on the ferry next to the icebreaker, the snow crow sighed and held his pipe and spat out another smoke ring.
The two Ice Rock Men were as thin as sticks, and they were no longer as wide as the Morse next to them. Put it up in such a comparison, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the nutrition of the child of ice is relatively sound. After all, Neverwinter has a lot more food than Icerock.
But he's too fat, maybe it's about two hundred and fourteen. Walking on the street is really not conducive to maintaining the image of the people.
...... What's more, it's still a wine Mengzi.
Morse whispered a few words to the two Icerock blacksmiths, and then stepped forward together, holding the handle of the winch side by side on the opposite side, ready to help the workers turn the winch in a backward pull.
After a constipation-like roar, the six of them gritted their teeth and used all their strength at a glance. After a few seconds of this terrible scream, the winch that turned in circles finally began to accelerate, causing the gears to snap together at high speed.
These people are in a bit of a hurry, right? It seems that there is no plan at all how to use the friction between the winch and the gears to save effort. Winches like the one we use to control the gate lift can be easily pushed by everyone with a similarly optimized gear structure.
Of course, there is also the possibility of designing it in this way to ensure the strong power of the robotic arm.
But even so...... Why did they have to go up and push so their own? The crossing where the icebreaker was parked was wide enough for two oxen to pull the winch. Did you not expect to do this because your brain was flooded, or did you not test it beforehand, and you are too lazy to delay the time?
Most of them are the former...... They never fail to understand how difficult it is for their equipment to function. Just after praising them for being very smart, they didn't hold up for a while.
Unless it's because the equipment is temporarily out of order. Then they don't have to repair it, and it really hurts on the scalp.
Finally, under the push of several rounds of the thick rope of the winch, the sound of the gear finally reached its peak. The robotic arm suspended above the ice moved slowly, and the head of the cone, which was fatally heavy at first sight, rotated at a constant speed and aimed at the smoking black ice.
The support at its bottom retracted in an instant, and the cone slammed down, slamming into the ice. Surprisingly, however, it sparked a violent spark that sent a fine arc-shaped explosion around the icebreaker over a large area. Eyes widened in astonishment, the snow crow stared at the ice in disbelief: it had been "cut" in an arc with precision, and there was no indication that it was an explosion.
Confused, Vicor looked at the crowd for a long time, and finally realized that there were still some inconspicuous light brown powders on the ice a little far from the robotic arm. It is precisely ejected in a circular arc when the previous support device is retracted. When the ice surface was contaminated with the powder, the giant cone slammed down, causing a concussion and a blast.
I've heard of this powder before...... It is very explosive when subjected to impact and vibration, and can be exposed to the air for a few seconds before oxidizing and losing its effect. Therefore, it is often only used by mages and alchemists as casting and alchemy materials. It is rarely used in industrial design.
I mean, the efficiency of breaking the ice with the cone alone is too low! But how do you get these powders to spill in a thin arc?
But none of that matters. The important thing is that the icebreaker is able to move freely with this large gap in the ice that has been broken!
After a sudden silence, the crowd erupted in an excited roar. Unable to wait for the equipment to be pulled out of the dock, several people in charge of driving the boat hurriedly squeezed past it and rushed to the icebreaker. Even one of the guys ran so fast that he almost fell off the ferry.
Listening to the shouting of the hawkers and the roar of the icebreaker's huge steam pipes, Vicol was a little tired in addition to excitement: the blockade had finally been lifted, and it was a thrilling situation. With this lesson in mind, I'm afraid that both cities and towns will start stockpiling supplies in large quantities more quickly.
Then again, the black ice froze so far away...... Looking at the edge of the black ice that was faintly visible under the sea level, Vicol sighed slightly: this is also a big challenge for the icebreaker to break it all.
It is estimated that the fish have taken refuge over there because of the black ice. And seagrass farther away from the ice doesn't have any effect. All in all, there are no after-effects for the time being - do you know if they will still have the power of corruption after sinking to the bottom of the sea?
In any case, now that you have a ship as a carrier, you can import some hot liquid fire to burn the black ice and purify it. That kind of flame can burn beneath the surface of the water and ignite seaweed, and it can definitely treat an entire area of the sea.
It's just a matter of spending a little more money. However, in order to eliminate future problems, this is a necessary investment.
But...... I always felt that something was wrong. Looking at the sea in front of him, Vicol suddenly felt a little uneasy: Black Ice Death Reaper, they can't just do these two moments, right? Thinking about it carefully, this level of sea blockade seems to be completely insufficient to cut off the lifeline.
Did they really not think about that? If that were the case, so good.
But no matter how many tricks the other party plays, it will always be much easier to deal with than before. The thought that the two cities had joined forces made Vicol feel very confident that although the situation would not necessarily be reversed, it would not be broken one by one.
The most important problem is that no one knows how to end Winter's Breath...... With his pipe in his mouth, Vicol fell into deep thought, only to be struck hard by a sailor who hurried by. The man yelled "You don't have eyes" and got up and left, and the snow crow angrily scolded back until its back quickly disappeared into the crowd.
Damn, is this man sick? Vicol scolded him in his heart, and then forgot about it.
However, just when Snow Crow wants to buy some toast to eat, she finds that her wallet is gone.
Ps. chasing more children's shoes, are there any free appreciation tickets and starting coins~ The countdown to the 515 red envelope list is over, I'll pull a ticket, ask for an increase and appreciation vote, and finally rush a handful!
