Chapter 415: Quick-witted, Queen Mother of the West
Tang Linkun, who was unhappy, returned to the No. 1 well base, and waited for more than ten days, but the edict of the Queen Mother of the West still did not come down. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Tang Linkun, who has always been calm, finally couldn't wait, what he and Jin Dan talked about was only a verbal agreement, and he didn't get the confirmation of the Queen Mother of the West, Tang Linkun jumped up from time to time in his sleep.
"No, I have to go to Kunlun Mountain, and if I continue to wait like this, I will have to have a nervous breakdown. ”
Hearing Tang Linkun say this, Erlang God and Zhao Yun didn't know what to say.
Hearing a grain officer say that the Queen Mother of the West was in a sonorous fortress less than 10,000 miles away from the No. 1 well fortress, Tang Linkun finally made up his mind to make a trip.
When Tang Linkun came to the sonorous base, the sonorous base was immersed in a joy, the colorful flags fluttered inside and outside the base, and the artificial lake was crowded with people, and millions of free guests gathered together, just to see the style of the Queen Mother of the West. He found a place next to the podium......
"Drain the water!"
After a year and a half, it was originally planned to dig only 100 miles of the "sonorous-swan lake" artificial canal, but in order to take a flatter route, it turned into the Gobi Desert, and the amount of work was more than 150 miles. For this project, more than 1,000 laborers died of work-related injuries and diseases, and tens of thousands of cattle and horses died.
Soon after the most solemn ceremony began, the officials of the Ministry of Rites who presided over the ceremony could not find Li Bing, the chief engineer of the project, on the command platform, and they were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
"Look, go and find it, the Heavenly Court No. 1 of the Queen Mother of the West will come over soon. ”
Li Bing sat on the edge of the artificial lake in the Gobi Desert, watching the turbid and foaming lake water continue to rise, gradually submerging the surface of his feet, the water from the Swan Lake and the river water from the big river converged in this artificial lake, when it was dug here, a large amount of groundwater gushed out, the project was stopped for more than half a month, Li Bing decisively stopped the excavation surface here, and excavated from the other end of the Swan Lake instead, in order to level the water surface at both ends, Li Bing did not sleep for three whole days...... This seems to be a simple project, which consumes too much of Li Bing's hard work, and his black hair has turned gray, which surprises everyone who sees Li Bing. Is this still the suave Mr. Li?
"Chief Manager Li, those officials from the Ministry of Rites are looking for you. A servant whispered.
"Look!"
Li Bing stood up and pointed to the sky above the lake, a large group of wintering geese circled and did not dare to fall, and after a few turns, they flew into the sky in a herringbone shape.
"I wanted to go back to the barracks and get some sleep, but I don't think I can sleep anymore. ”
The main reason why the Queen Mother of the West wanted to dig Swan Lake was to train the first naval army of the Heavenly Court here. In recent years, warships have often invaded the Heavenly Court in the Land of the Four Margins, which the arrogant Queen Mother of the West cannot tolerate.
Li Bing had just returned to the command platform when cheers came from the western inlet of the artificial lake.
"It's coming, the Queen Mother of the West is here!"
The first to sail into the artificial lake are two grasshoppers used as scouts, painted blue throughout, and even the sails are made of blue cloth embellished with large white clouds, so you can imagine this kind of small boat with a certain stealth function shuttling through the blue sea, with the blue sky and white clouds in the background, even if it is very close to you, you may not be able to spot them if you don't pay attention.
Then there were two firsts for the charge, the hull painted black, the bow of the ship outlined with white paint outlining the ferocious shark head, and the two special barbed iron forks in the bow, which were very powerful. If this ship suddenly appeared in the enemy's fleet at night, slammed the iron spike into it, and launched a close attack, it would be strange that the enemy did not jump into the sea and flee for his life.
The fish runs into two rhinoceros horns, the ship is slender, the girder of the ship is specially reinforced with a whole iron column, the bow of the iron pointed cone is welded to the iron pillar, the appearance is simply tung oil brushed several times, through the yellow of the log, as a consumable for impact, this paint saving is still very reasonable. Not to mention being hit by this desperate ship that is ready to die with you at any time, watch it rush towards it, as long as the captain is not dizzy in his head, he will try to escape.
The huge body of the "Heavenly Court No. 1" with the flying flag of the Heavenly Court finally slowly drove into the artificial lake, and the millions of Heavenly Court Escapees around the lake let out a tsunami-like cheer, and the cloak of the Queen Mother of the West, who was standing on the top floor of the Heavenly Court No. 1, seemed to be swayed by the cheers of the earth-shaking mountains. The Queen Mother of the West, whose face was full of spring breeze, kept waving. She was so excited about such a grand ceremony that she burst into tears. As a woman, what more could a husband ask for!
Tianting No. 1 began to circle the lake for three weeks, causing countless screams and whistles in the places it passed, and most of the free-spirited guests were still witnessing the graceful Queen Mother of the West for the first time, and their excitement can be imagined.
"Long live the Queen Mother of the West!"
The cheers came one after another, and when the boat passed by a large group of women, suddenly the slogan became, "First beauty, first beauty......"
The change in the tone of millions of free passengers, the Queen Mother of the West was a little embarrassed, and wanted to retreat into the cabin several times.
One of her hearts was beating fast, just like when she was first entangled with the Eastern Princes on Penglai Immortal Island.
Tianting No. 1 finally docked at the edge of the command platform, and many civil and military officials stood at the dock to greet him.
"Jin An, the Queen Mother of the West!"
"Everyone has worked hard, it's free, it's all free, everyone is on stage!"
The Queen Mother of the West lifted up several ministers kneeling on the ground one by one. She was shocked when she saw that Li Bing had become a "little old man", she hadn't seen him for more than a year, and this change was too big.
Min Zhang, the commander of the naval army who stayed on Tianting No. 1, saw that all the people on the command platform had already taken their seats, and with a wave of the small red flag in his hand, the trombone of "Dudu" on Tianting No. 1 sounded.
Deputy commander Miao Gefeng led the "Tianting No. 2", "Kunlun", "Zhongzhou", and "Swan" four buildings of the same level as Tianting No. 1 into the artificial lake in turn, and approached Tianting No. 1 at the speed of pursuit. The Heavenly Court Walkaways who had just seen the demeanor of the Queen Mother of the West, when had they seen such a magnificent momentum, their eyes were fixed on the surface of the lake, and they were reluctant to even blink.
With a wave of the small yellow flag in Miao Gefeng's hand, the five main battleships were like puppets pulled by a line, neatly lined up in a horizontal line, and it could be seen that the Heavenly Court Navy had undergone extremely strict training under the leadership of Min Zhang and Miao Gefeng, and the bows of the five battleships were like carpentry's ink lines bouncing, and they stood tall and tall.
"The Heavenly Court Army is complete! ”
"Let's start!" Although the Queen Mother of the West has already seen the naval exercises, this time she is with millions of people, and she still has an urgent expectation in her heart.
Under the personal command of Minzhang, all the large and small ships began to change their formations, and the column, horizontal, echelon (azimuth), herringbone (wedge), diamond, and ring formations were rehearsed one by one.
Then the flotilla was divided into two teams, the east and west, and the "Tianting II" and the "Swan" broke out of their respective formations and practiced a battle in the middle of the lake. I saw that as soon as the two battleships approached, countless iron claws flew out of each other to hook up the two battleships. As soon as the big flap was put on, the brave soldiers shouted in unison and jumped onto the other party's deck, and suddenly the knives and guns staggered and shining in the sun, and the jingling sound was much more lively than in the blacksmith shop, and from time to time soldiers were cut down into the lake, and the lake suddenly glowed with a shocking red.
After not sleeping well for two days, Li Bing, who was already drowsy, got up from his seat at once, is there any mistake? This is just a drill, do you have to kill hundreds of people? Min Zhang and Miao Gefeng also don't take the lives of the soldiers seriously. Li Bing walked in front of the seat of the Queen Mother of the West, and was about to get her to order to stop the drill.
The soldiers who had fallen into the water all came out of the water, and several grasshopper boats rowed over quickly, scooping them all up, and the people on the shore of the lake were at first stunned by the realistic training as Li Bing, and when they realized it, they all shouted loudly.
Li Bing, who walked in front of the Queen Mother of the West, was extremely embarrassed, looking at the inquiring eyes of the Queen Mother of the West, Li Bing said: "The Queen Mother of the West, Jin'an, the artificial canal and the artificial lake have not yet been named, please give them names!"
"Really?" Queen Mother West didn't expect that this "battle" would be lively, and Li Bing would suddenly come to this one. However, the Queen Mother of the West is still quite happy.
"I think about it, I think about it, how about this artificial canal from the sonorous barrier to Swan Lake, which is called the 'Zhongtian' River?"
"Okay! The name Zhongtian is good, this canal is in the middle of the heavenly court, the middle of the heavenly river, and it has a spirit. The doctor in the Ministry of Industry on the side instantly interpreted "Zhongtian" into another version.
The Queen Mother of the West was encouraged, and when she saw a flock of wild ducks flying over the command platform, she slapped her thigh and shouted, "Yes, how about this artificial lake be called the Wild Duck Lake?"
Many Heavenly Court officials couldn't hold back their laughter, and Li Bing and many officials turned their heads to the quick-thinking doctor just now, this name was a bit too ordinary, it depended on whether he could name a flower.
"Okay, this name is popular and catchy...... "Seeing that everyone was laughing, Dr. Zhong suddenly got stuck.
The Nine Heavens Xuannu next to the Queen Mother of the West whispered a few words to the Queen Mother of the West, and the Queen Mother of the West said with a smile: "The wild duck that flew over just now is called the Qiusha Duck, so it's called Qiusha Lake." ”
"Okay, the wild duck changed to autumn sand, the same duck, but a little more poetic, the Queen Mother of the West is really quick-witted. "The middle doctor who got stuck in the shell is really good at sycophancy.
The drill on the lake continued, when a large dilapidated fishing boat stopped in the middle of Qiusha Lake, a rhinoceros horn retreated to the southeast corner of the lake, and began to sprint to the sound of war drums, the fishing boat began to dodge, and after a fierce chase, the faster rhinoceros horn stopped and crashed into it. I don't know if it was specially arranged, but the sky was pitiful, the fishing boat was broken in two under the violent impact, and the rhinoceros horn rushed directly through the middle of the hull. Tyusha Lake has once again become a sea of joy. (To be continued.) )
