Chapter 80: Explosion
The Hawkmen were not as good at burrowing as Magellan, they were famous steam engine designers and mechanics, but there was no doubt that they didn't need to dig with a sapper shovel. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
So Magellan did more than ninety-nine percent of the work alone, and most of the time the Hawkman was in a daze with a sapper shovel while listening to Magellan explain why he did it.
Strictly speaking, although the project is large and complex, it is simply a matter of digging and filling in the pits. The eagles followed Magellan to all the places they could, digging tunnels to reach the deepest sewers underground, hanging ropes to block the eye of the wind on the cliffs, like some kind of crazy tour.
And in fact, at least the eagles do experience the feeling of being a tourist.
The first time Magellan took them into the sewers, the eagles were amazed, they instinctively didn't like cramped and dark places, but it didn't make the eagles uncomfortable at all.
The tall culvert leads to an unknown place, and the light from the unknown source makes it dark but not invisible, and the clear water flows through the ground and disappears into the distant corner.
When Magellan was about to fill the inlet on the cliff, the eagles, like him, tied a rope around their waists, slowly descended to the bottom of the cliff, and occasionally strayed into the turbulence, instinctively spread their wings and glide like a kite in the wind, and then were pulled up from above by Magellan, who had worked hard to fill the hole.
It's not a dangerous ruin, but a new and interesting place, and the eagles are surprised to find that they seem to have thought it all wrong.
"What the hell are we doing?"
"Solve all the troubles. ”
The symphony that used to never stop every night was gradually disappearing, and every night the people in the camp fell asleep and stared at the dark roof of the hall for a long time.
Magellan is on the verge of success.
The Hawkman began to believe that whatever Magellan wanted to do, he would succeed, and the man accomplished the impossible task right in front of them.
Then on a clear day, everyone walked out of the camp together.
Magellan is about to finish the project.
"These are the last and most troublesome steps, first to completely block the last vent, and then to open a hole facing the fog at the top of the mountain. ”
The eagles began to wonder if Magellan could really do such a thing, just plugging the last wind outlet was almost impossible, and now all the turbulent wind was concentrated in that one outlet, and even a whole boulder would be blown away.
"The most important thing is to be fast," Magellan seems to have no idea that he will fail, and continues to say the plan of action, "otherwise the wind will destroy everything." ”
Wen felt very helpless about Magellan's confidence, but he couldn't help but hope that everything would go according to Magellan's expectations: "What can we do?"
"Make an explosion. ”
"You made explosives?" to Winn's surprise, he didn't find anything like explosives on Magellan.
"Nope. ”
Magellan was not at all ashamed of this answer, which made Wen cry and laugh.
"Hawkmen aren't good at playing with such dangerous things......" Wen looked at Magellan's face without the slightest surprise or disappointment, and finally gave up, "I brought with me the most powerful weapons we have designed and built, including bombs, but those are reserved for the most powerful enemies." ”
Magellan smiled: "As long as we succeed, there will be nothing in the way between the eagle man and the eagle's nest." ”
Wen took a deep breath: "Okay. ”
So they began to act according to Magellan's plan.
The eaglemen split into two sides and took their powerful steam bombs to the location Magellan had chosen. Magellan went to the side that blocked the vent, and only he could plant a bomb in such a terrible wind.
At the same time, the guide went to a place where both sides could be seen, and he was responsible for releasing the signal to ensure that the detonation on both sides was carried out simultaneously.
"You haven't told me until now whether this plan will succeed or not. ”
This is not the first time that Wen has asked Magellan this question, and the eagles have accumulated enough questions so far, but every time they ask, Magellan is either digging in the dirt or using a perfunctory sentence of "that's too long".
"I don't know. ”
"And if the plan succeeds, what are we going to do next?"
Magellan seemed to be stunned for a moment: "This ...... I'll talk about it when it's successful. ”
Wen could only pray in his heart, as he had done countless times before, for Magellan's success.
They came to the other side of the hill, far from the camp, where there was now the only exit of the wind, just below the cliff on the side of the hillside, a tunnel that was not wide, and the wind was an endless scream, but fortunately by the time it reached the camp, it had decayed to the point that it was almost inaudible.
"I'm going down and put the bomb in the tunnel, and you're going to detonate it. ”
"Are you sure?" this was the first time Wen had been here, he had no idea that there would be such a terrible wind here, and when the eaglemen watched a falling rock being blown out by the wind, they began to wonder if Magellan was simply trying to kill himself, "Even if you can get into the tunnel against such a strong wind, there is no way that our bombs will not explode." ”
The Hawkmen took out their bomb and explained to Magellan that this is a very rare steam bomb, the high-strength metal that has been refined by the essence is cast into a special shape of the ball, and then a large amount of steam is poured into it, and finally sealed with a heavy hammer, the formed bomb is a spherical shape with half a metal column, as long as it is impacted by external force, the fragile parts formed on the outer wall during casting will break, and then the entire outer wall will fall apart in an instant, and the steam gushing out will form a powerful explosion.
"No problem. ”
Magellan nodded, took the bomb from the eagleman, and climbed down the rope.
Time is getting hard.
When the alpacas that followed them stirred the ruins to graze, making the sound of two stones colliding, the eagles spread their wings en masse - they thought it was the sound of a bomb exploding.
Then they stood motionless like sculptures until Magellan climbed up the rope unharmed.
"Don't worry, everything goes well. ”
Magellan didn't ask the eagles what they were doing, and they walked out of the blast's area as planned, signaling to the guide that they were ready.
Soon, the guide began to shake the red flag, which was a signal to be ready to detonate, and the eagles on the other side seemed to be going very well, after all, there was no turbulence now.
Wen then pressed the detonation button the moment he saw the detonation signal.
