The connection of the rail line must not only be completed by the two construction sites at the forefront of the project;

Since the engineering teams on each base move forward as a whole after completing a large section of road of tens of kilometers, what is completed by the two most cutting-edge construction sites is actually just a subdivision of sections.

But even so, their intersection meant that the project was coming to an end, so after another day or two, the orbit between Cavern Base and Base 2 was finally officially over.

Nesta took a day off from her work and rode the moose rail car with Eshara to see if the time-consuming and labor-intensive construction of this thing had achieved the expected goal.

The vibration of the wheels when they press over the thirty-meter track is so similar to that of the railroad in the previous life, if you sit in the car and close your eyes, Nesta will feel like you are back in your previous life.

Those memories that have been sealed in the dust for 40 years are tumbling in his heart at this time, and there are different emotions such as sadness and nostalgia.....

But he didn't indulge in memories for long, and soon used great perseverance to dust these memories again, and put most of his mind on everything he had now.

Due to the influence of the water source on the site selection, the length of the track between the cave base and the second base is about 490 kilometers, which is the longest distance compared with the 450 kilometers of the rest of the road.

When the track was laid, the moose used to act as a power were taken into account, so a dedicated track for moose was set aside on both sides of the line.

At this time, eighty moose were divided into four columns, and they were running wildly in front of both sides of the tracks, easily bringing the speed of the train faster and faster.

This was the first attempt to travel at the highest speed and longest mileage, and the 10 cars they pulled exceeded the speed of 100 kilometers per hour within 100 meters, and then continued to soar upward, finally stabilizing at a speed of 180 kilometers per hour.

The moose were undoubtedly stamina, and the animals in Nesta's memories of the past life were not comparable at all, and judging by their performance during this journey, it seemed that the planned 'car reserve deer' was no longer needed.

Of course, this is a good thing, at least there is no need to prepare a few special carriages for these big guys....

At the end of the two-hour drive, Nesta and his party crossed nearly 500 kilometers to reach the second base, although some fatigue could be seen in the moose.... But Nesta always felt that they should be able to run another lamp or two.

However, this is enough for now, and these guys must be given plenty of rest.

"How's the Moose Rest Base going? Is there enough reserves? ”

This was the first question Nesta asked when he got out of the car, and the answer was the troll who was in charge of moose breeding among the witch doctors, deacons, and apprentices who came to pick him up.

At this time, the wolves have been roaming the Black Forest in search of moose herds for quite some time, and the tribe already has more than a thousand such big guys, which is enough to start the current stage of work.

"No problem, Your Excellency Dictator, there are already 120 prime-aged moose and sufficient deer houses and supplies on the second base, and after the subsequent lines are also completed and merged, it is completely possible to change the power in a short time and continue to move forward."

"That's fine, and eugenics... Forget it, you are the experts in this area, so I won't come up with ideas, and I'll come back and put a report to me. ”

"Yes!"

After a brief exchange, Nesta and the trolls left the station built outside the city and began inspecting Base 2.

He focused on the construction of new industrial bases in the city and along the river;

In addition to the central giant trees, the former is much different from the cave base, and the overall aspect focuses on the planning of urban defense, warehouses and dwellings;

The latter has also been carried out quite steadily, basically completing the relocation and increasing the production capacity nearly twice on the original basis.

In addition to this, condolences to the internal and external workers were also at the forefront of the trip, for which Nesta arranged a special lecture in the town square.

Due to the complete penetration of the western front, the construction team assigned to the western part of the country has basically returned to the base at this time, whether it is the day shift or the night shift;

In addition, there is also a night shift construction team in charge of the eastern construction site, which is also concentrated here at this time due to time reasons.

As a result, Nesta's speech covered almost two-thirds of the construction team at Base 2, with the exception of the White Shift in the East.

In his speech, he deliberately blurred the distinction between the origins of the laborers, opening and closing his mouth to say 'how we are...' and 'what is the future of the trolls...', almost ignoring where they belonged and generously giving promises about the future.

The outside laborers also bought it, after all, they had worked together for many years under the leadership of the captain and vice-captain, and the concept of the tribe, which was not very clear, had long been worn out in the large collective life like a melting pot;

In addition, the subtle 'indoctrination' of thinking in the training class, without the deliberate guidance of those who are well-intentioned, these workers have almost forgotten the fact that they have another hometown.

After inspecting the city and the factory, and having made a picture of the cake as prepared, Nesta continued eastward on the rail car, which had been replaced by a batch of moose.

The eastern line of the No. 2 base has completed the construction of about 180 kilometers of track, and the construction team responsible for this side is continuing to work on the 180-230 section at this time.

Since the progress of the construction of the third base is also comparable, after the completion of this 50-kilometer section of track, it is also time for the track laying between the second and third bases to enter the final sprint.

The train stops temporarily before the advance base, and if it continues to move forward, then the rest of the journey is basically a change to a construction car.

Nesta hesitated for a long time, mainly because he was not sure whether he should be on the busy construction site.... Because in his previous life, when he was working in the research laboratory, he especially hated the behavior of his mentor running over to inspect when he had nothing to do, and he couldn't listen to the endless stream of encouraging chicken soup in his mouth, which always felt particularly annoying.

Therefore, he was somewhat unsure of the mentality of the workers at this time.

After relaying this question to Azhara, his partner looked at him with an incredulous look, and then said puzzledly,

"How can you think that? Don't you still have a clear understanding of your position in the hearts of the people? ”

"So you think.... My visit must be an inspiration, right? ”

"Of course, trust me, there's no one who doesn't want to see you."

It dawned on Nesta that he was not a mentor in his previous life, nor a laborer, nor a modern people who had been bombarded with all kinds of information.

There is no need to cross-reference between these two situations.

"Is it.... Okay, let's go ahead of this. ”

As a result, there was a trip to the construction site of the rail train to the 'trolley'.

On the improvised road east of the forward base, Eshara and Nesta were on this 'self-propelled engineering vehicle' for the first time.

There was no full-time driver to serve them, so the couple sat in the main and passenger seats, and stepped on the power components of the soles of their feet similar to bicycle pedals.

Behind them, a squadron of soldiers in charge of the escort followed closely in two trailers;

In the dense forest more than 60 meters away on both sides, there were several squads of moose cavalry guarding along the way.

Due to the road conditions and the mechanical structure of the vehicle, the convoy is not too fast along the way, and the main and co-driver exchange forces, and the speed will only go out of 40 kilometers per light.

To be honest, this speed is not much slower than when a troll is running at full strength, even a normal walk, but this feeling of experiencing 'driving' in the other world is a different kind of novelty....

Maybe in the future, when cities become bigger and bigger, and the distance between farms and industrial bases becomes farther and farther away, the "bridge car" will be able to take advantage of the trend? Nesta couldn't stop thinking about it.

The pleasure of driving didn't last long, because not long after the forward base passed, I came to the rear construction area.

There are about 40 small sections of the 50 kilometers, and the team has to take into account all the workers in these areas between stops and stops.

Nesta did not choose to stay in the car all the time, and whenever he arrived at a construction site, he would get out of the car and walk over and have a cordial conversation with the laborers;

imitated the appearance of the big leader he had seen in the news broadcast, he was cordial and greeting, and he shook hands and talked for a long time, which can be regarded as earning the goodwill of these simple people;

And when he left, the construction site behind him always maintained the 'chicken blood effect' for a long time.

On the way back, looking at the laborers who stood up and waved to him happily at the construction sites along the way, Nesta waved his hand in response, and whispered to Azhara next to him,

"What a group of good guys, hard-working, hard-working, and fast and good, if this can't develop, then our group of witch doctors deserve to be crucified on the pillar of shame."

"Surely, it's only been forty years since it became like this, is there anything you don't like?"

"Haha, that's what you said."

This inspection was supposed to be over when it was here.

However, in the spirit of not favoring one over the other, Nesta also added several bases in the back to the condolence itinerary.

The distance that the tribe had spent months carefully walking when they were completely unfamiliar with the land is now very different;

Although the tracks in each section have not yet been fully connected, each base has basically completed the construction of nearly 200 kilometers of lines on the east and west sides, and the remaining 180 kilometers of roads without track connection have also been easily passed.

Therefore, after dispatching the moose trains of each section, they completed the round trip between the four bases in just a few days.

In the factory of the No. 2 base, for his trip, a 'real' bridge car was specially rushed out;

The bridge car, which could be stuffed into a train car, served as a 'special car' during subsequent inspections, and was designed to travel on roads in areas where the tracks were not yet connected.

When Nesta and his party returned, the witch doctors from the other three bases also accompanied the convoy, ready to go to the cave base again.

The Witch Doctors had not forgotten the purpose of the Orbit in the first place, and although many of the more important benefits of the Orbit were later discovered, it was originally established to transport back the Cage Tree.

At the base of the cave and around the giant tree in the center of the city, more than 20 witch doctors were once again concentrated.

They looked at the behemoth in front of them, and began to shake their heads in their hearts, really not thinking that this terrifying guy could be brought back smoothly.

"Otherwise... Or forget it... Isn't the cave base good? If not, then we can also relocate the ruling core here. The witch doctor who said this obviously retreated.

"What nonsense, don't you want the headquarters to have a good central location advantage?"

"After the construction of this track is completed, it will be only two days from the west to the center, so the location of the headquarters is not too important now, right?"

"Distance and time in space are not everything, distance and time in the mind are what really matter; If we dare to move west now, then the eastern tribes will dare to fight against us tomorrow, do you believe it? ”

"So what? It's just a matter of crushing the past that can be solved. ”

"Well, the headquarters will not consider relocation for the time being, and the integration of the various departments will also take the peaceful route as much as possible, and there is no need to create unnecessary barriers."

Nesta's conclusion was a decisive word, and the witch doctors stopped discussing superfluous matters and began to think about the transfer of the giant tree.

Nesta remembers that in his previous life, a standard football field was only 105 meters long and 68 meters wide;

However, the giant tree in front of me is 83 meters in diameter, 240 meters in height, and 130 meters wide in cross-section of the canopy, which is obviously larger than it was at the beginning.

This data will definitely not be migrated by orbit alone, so as the situation changes, there must be new ideas to solve it.

"It is very vigorous, and it can survive for a long time even if the root system is out of the ground.... So, although the track may not be usable, can you consider using the improvised road next to the track? ”

"Tell me what you think?"

"In the same way that a refrigerator tree is transformed into a transverse transporter, we lay the giant tree down and let hundreds or even more moose be towed in the direction of the tracks;"

"Then put up enough wheels on either side of it, across the tracks, that the wheels don't have to be set up in two columns, more columns seem to work... As long as you have enough wheels to distribute the pressure on the ground as much as possible, you should be able to have enough travel ability without damaging the road too much, right? ”

"If that's the case, it's not just the easy road, the track can actually play a role..."

"If the current carriage is changed to a complete flat structure, as long as the height difference between the road and the two sides is considered, it should also be used as a support point, so as to further reduce the pressure."

After a brief reflection on this proposal, Nesta found that the proposer's idea of wheels should be similar to those of the high-load transport vehicles in previous lives;

Roughly speaking, it is the place where an ordinary car is equipped with one wheel, it is stuffed with two wheels, and the same is true in the front and rear directions, and a row of four wheels can be loaded with six, seven or eight groups.....

Does this seem like a viable idea? And what if you learn the tracks of a tank? Is it feasible? Wouldn't it be better? “

He raised his hand and motioned for the witch doctors to wait for a moment, then enter a meditative state, using the properties of the meditation space to verify the feasibility of using the tracks at this time.

The results weren't ideal, although the tracks were much more suitable than the wheels in terms of road conditions...

However, the verification based on the meditation space shows that the endogenous power is not the same as the external pulling force, the former can achieve the overall forward movement by controlling the power wheels inside the track, while the latter cannot make the track roll.

So, if you put on the tracks, unless you let the trolls get in and keep pedaling, the moose will be dragging the entire track running, which will not be easier, but will cause more power to be wasted due to friction.

So, Nesta opened her eyes and rejected her unspoken reform plan, and decided to follow the previous witch doctor's method.

After the plan was decided, the work of modifying the train cars and manufacturing the wheels and corresponding support structures was handed over to the factory on the riverbank.

The witch doctors, on the other hand, began a targeted transformation of the giant tree.

The renovation is basically concentrated in the canopy and roots, and the structure of the canopy must be changed, otherwise the cross-section of nearly 130 meters will be quite difficult to deal with;

Under the control of the witch doctors, the branches gradually became pliable and gradually regained their original vine appearance, and then drooped and fit on the side of the trunk that was expected to be placed upwards, which was equivalent to changing the hairstyle of the giant tree from an exploding head to a long curly hair that fell back.

As a result, the overall diameter of the giant tree has shrunk back to 83 meters of the trunk itself, and its height has dropped from more than 230 meters to about 130 meters due to the lack of space occupied by the canopy, further reducing the difficulty of loading.

This step, even with a reserved 'back door' as a shortcut, took a short time for the witch doctors, and by the time it was all done, the factory had already done their assigned work.

Five flatbed trucks 30 meters long and 90 meters wide were built, and part of the city wall was temporarily demolished to allow these guys to enter the city.....

Each of these flatbed trucks has 12 columns and 8 columns of wide wooden wheels, of which the two most central columns are special concave wheels used to cross the tracks, and the rest are ordinary wheels used to travel on simple roads;

They were pulled to a specially cleared plaza next to the giant tree, waiting for the witch doctors to finish their next steps.

The root system under the giant tree is so well developed that if you want to extract one by one, you don't know how much time it will take.

Therefore, when these flatbed trucks were in place, Nesta simply did not do anything, and directly chose the "strong man broke his wrist", and decided to start from a depth of twenty meters, so that the roots of these trees would break directly on their own, and the root system behind them would be abandoned.

In this way, the action of extracting the roots of the tree is immediately much faster....

Of course, not all the roots of the trees were broken at a distance of twenty meters at once, and the witch doctors only cut off most of the northern half of them first;

Then, with the support of the roots of the trees on the south side that are still deep into the ground, supplemented by the pushing and pulling of the remaining roots on the north side, the giant tree is controlled to fall southward little by little.

At this time, the flatbed truck was already in place, and with the tilt of the tree body and the pull of the roots, the whole tree finally completely fell on the plane of the car that was integrated into a 150-meter-long column.

'Whew...."

The witch doctors couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, because the hardest part of the work was finally done.

"Okay, let's separate the rest of the roots..."

After resting for a long time and replenishing some food, the witch doctors returned to their posts and began to separate the roots of the tree as Nesta spoke again.

After about half a day, the root system finally broke completely at twenty meters, and the rest of the body was obediently attached to the upper side of the trunk like a canopy under the control of the witch doctors.

In this way, the 'grooming' of the giant tree is finally completed, and the next step is to pull it out of the city, pull it onto the track and the improvised road on both sides, and it is done.

But at what cost?

In the direction leading to the city wall, in an area of 100 meters wide and hundreds of meters long, all the buildings, whether it is warehouses or houses, have been swept away, and even the city wall has been widened out of a gap of 100 meters wide....

"Alas.... Let's do a good job of compensating, after all, it was our design mistake, don't let the people bear all the costs. ”

Nesta looked at the mess, sighed, and then said.

"Understood, we'll fix it."

The answer to him was the three witch doctors who were about to stay at the cave base for two years.

Nesta nodded and continued,

"Okay, I'll leave it to you.... In addition, if you take the time to dig up all the roots left in the ground and send them back to the headquarters, you should be able to find some additional uses. ”

"Understand, turn around and organize the forces to begin."

After explaining the matter in three or two sentences, with his order, three hundred moose began to exert force in front of them, and little by little they dragged the giant tree to move.

Inside the city, outside the city, and on the track, the concave wheels of the two columns in the center of the flatbed car were lowered and smoothly stuck on the track;

Five hundred moose brought from the bases were also bridle and 'placed' in the herd of moose in front of them;

At the head, tail, and middle of the giant tree, the laborers fastened it to the base with vines prepared in advance.

After all this was prepared, a total of 800 moose pulled a dense 150-meter-long, nearly 100-meter-wide 'train' with a total of 480 sets of steel-wood wide wheels, and marched along the tracks.

Even if it is deliberately widened, the treeless belt along the road seems a little compact in front of such a width;

The big fat giant tree is nearly 85 meters high even if it lies down, and the 'skinny' guys on both sides of the road are in front of it, like short people who can only reach their shoulders by jumping their feet, and they can only 'snap and snap' and beat them weakly.
