CH 208

After finishing the work, Lin Wen quickly carried the bus and 22 scarecrows and ran away without even saying hello.

Leaving behind the steel mill leaders and employees, staring at the broken steel slag on the ground like a wooden chicken.

The next day, the urgently purchased steel equipment arrived overnight.

The reason it arrived so quickly was because Changshan County's neighbor, Xihu City, happened to have a steel mill as well. The relationship between the two places has always been friendly, so when Xihu City heard that Changshan Steel Mill urgently needed some steel equipment, they sent their spare equipment overnight and only charged a fair price.

By the evening of the second day, Changshan Steel Mill had fully resumed production.

After a year, the two 1500 cubic meter blast furnaces could finally operate at full power.

The previously terrifying fuel ratio instantly dropped to the excellent level that an advanced blast furnace should have.

Seeing the pouring of the red-hot molten steel and the sparks bursting out of the factory, the passionate atmosphere of the steel mill, Zhao Pengyuan and Zhang Xiaoda were both in tears.

They were originally the deputy director and director of this factory. After the former director was taken down, it took a long time for Zhang Xiaoda to suddenly be promoted to director and Zhao Pengyuan to be promoted to the head of the Emperor's Capital Office.

Although their positions changed, their deep affection for the factory they had built from an empty land remained unchanged.

This steel behemoth had poured too much of their hard work into it, and when it was filled with pulsating vitality again, they felt happy from the bottom of their hearts.

The workers in the factory were even more jubilant. The days of earning just over 100 yuan a month had finally ended. If it weren't for the factory providing some meals, they would have starved to death long ago.

As for Lin Wen, as soon as the day broke, he received a huge feedback.

Peaceful and prosperous +329

Prosperity and strength +24

Justice and rule of law +16

Equality and freedom +15

Happiness +10

Democracy +0

Civilization +2

Total: 398

An increase of 19 points compared to before.

An increase of 19 points in daily virtue was already a lot, but there was even more in terms of spiritual energy.

+2.1%

This was a significant increase. It should be noted that initially, building a large embankment only increased spiritual energy by a fraction, and after such a long time of exceeding the growth limit plan, only 12.71% of spiritual energy was gained.

Today, it increased by one-fifth.

It was truly a great harvest!

Lin Wen now had a deep understanding of "Half Fate Cultivation" and knew that the main way to increase spiritual energy was through the quantity of fate threads. Although fate threads for the same goal could accumulate, the efficiency would decrease after reaching a certain level.

Therefore, if he wanted to enhance his spiritual energy more efficiently, he needed to influence more people.

The over 2,000 people in Changshan Steel Mill were the fish that slipped through the net in Changshan County!

And in the entire Changshan County, there were still many such fish that slipped through the net. Among the 1.5 million original residents of Changshan County, only about half enjoyed the benefits of Changshan County's development.

Lin Wen immediately made a decision to let more people feel his presence as soon as possible.

In this world, no one is allowed to not know of my existence.

Of course, the first priority now was to make money.

His attributes were still too low.

[Virtue: 19,781] [Vice: 301] [Spiritual Energy: 114.81%]

Robbing gold used up 1,200 virtue in one go, and it still hadn't recovered.

Vice was decreasing very quickly. After the state of Daoism recovered to its highest level, the effect of the power of destiny was concentrated on reducing virtue and vice, decreasing at an average rate of 8-9 points per day.

This effect was explosive.

"Yosuga No Sora" would definitely be the main object of strengthening in the future.

And the growth of spiritual energy had not yet reached a qualitative change. According to his calculations, with his current mastery of spells, his combat power and productivity would both take a step forward once his spiritual energy exceeded 150%.

In summary, money was still needed.

The next day, Chief Engineer Yang handed over the new roadmap.

Due to the limited spiritual energy, Lin Wen did not start immediately. Instead, he meditated in his room for a whole day, and with the recovery of spiritual energy during sleep, it increased from 10% to 25%.

It should be enough.

As night fell, Lin Wen opened his eyes from meditation and looked through the hole in the roof. The moon was rising, and the faint moonlight sprinkled down, casting a quiet silver veil over everything in the world.

With a leap, Lin Wen pushed open the door and carried the 22 scarecrows in wooden frames from the nearby warehouse he had requisitioned. He activated his spells and lifted the 300-ton sledgehammer buried in the floating soil and dust.

In the moment he lifted the sledgehammer onto his shoulders, Lin Wen's feet sank ten centimeters.

The "Strength of Nine Bulls and Two Tigers" actually gave him a strength of only about 230 tons, not 300 tons. So, Lin Wen needed quite a bit of skill to lift the sledgehammer, and it was very difficult.

Using the "Forbidden Power of Qi" would be too wasteful. Lin Wen would never use spiritual energy for things that could be solved with skill.

Lin Wen carried the sledgehammer and walked towards the construction site step by step.

He decided to repair the geological conditions of the road from Xin Town to Huai Town first.As a newly built and highly potential town, Xin Zhen has a strong complementary effect with the prosperous Huai Zhen.

The first step is to repair the road between the two towns, which is beneficial for the development of both sides.

Arriving at the construction site, it is not like a deserted embankment. Lin Wen doesn't want to be on the Empire Daily the next day, and the Empire Army will come to besiege him, an unprecedented super mutant.

"Soul Return!"

Invisible green light flew out of Lin Wen and entered the paper people attached to the chest of each scarecrow.

In an instant, the scarecrows in work clothes came to life. They stretched their fists and legs and jumped out of the wooden frame on Lin Wen's back.

Remaining spell time: 13 hours and 51 minutes.

After the 22 scarecrows came down, Lin Wen took out the gray curtain at the bottom of the wooden frame, a total of four pieces, which were very large when unfolded.

Then he dismantled the wooden frame, unexpectedly turning it into eight folded wooden sticks. When the sticks were unfolded, they became a 3-meter-long stick.

Insert the stick into the openings on both sides of the curtain. Two scarecrows can hold up one stick, and four scarecrows can hold up one piece of curtain, forming a large obstruction.

Only 16 scarecrows are needed to support the four curtains, completely blocking Lin Wen, unless it is a drone, otherwise no one can see him.

There are still six scarecrows walking around the periphery, creating a busy atmosphere.

In order to make it realistic, Lin Wen equipped each scarecrow with a miner's hat on their heads. When the miner's lamp was turned on, more than 20 lights flickered, as if it were a busy construction site.

In the dark night, the curtain looked like a common construction obstruction, nothing strange. The loud noise inside the curtain must be some kind of machine, right?

Perfect!

Preparations are complete, let's start working.

Lin Wen used Archimedes' ** to lift the sledgehammer, shouted loudly, and smashed it with all his strength.

The 300-ton sledgehammer is more fierce than any road roller. Any kind of geology will reveal its true form under such a powerful force.

Since the road foundation does not need to be as solid as the embankment, Lin Wen also welded a large iron plate on the hammer face of the sledgehammer to increase its area.

The hammer face of the sledgehammer is as large as 20 square meters, looking like a part of some heavy industrial machinery, rather than something that can be swung by the flesh and blood of a human.

With one strike, the ground sinks; with two strikes, there are no more hollows; with three strikes, all evil is dispelled.

Clap, clap, clap, clap!

Lin Wen continued to strike fiercely. Wet soil hardened, hard soil solidified, underground faults broke, caves melted, and weathered rocks went crazy.

Hills turned into flat land, rivers turned into land.

Geology is changing, landforms are changing.

Destiny is also changing.

The commotion was too loud and awakened many people.

But the only one who witnessed the whole process was the empty moon.

When the moon rose as the sun set, Lin Wen, who had been busy all night, finally finished his work.

At this time, a day's good fortune came.

Peaceful and prosperous +333

Justice and rule of law +16

Equality and freedom +15

Happiness +11

Democracy +0

Civilization +3

Total: 405

Divine Spirit +0.13%

[Good Fortune: 20184] [Bad Fortune: 294] [Divine Spirit: 114.94% (20%)]

Seeing the harvest after labor.

There is no better feeling than this.

The morning breeze blew over his wet clothes, sticking to his forehead, bringing a touch of coolness, as if the embrace of an ice and snow fairy after a great battle.

Lin Wen put down the sledgehammer and buried it on the spot.

Turning around and leaving, he will come back tonight.

Behind him, the rising sun at 7 o'clock is like his unstoppable future, rising and shining brightly.

Even through a thick curtain, it is still clearly visible.

---

At 8 o'clock, when Chief Engineer Yang arrived at the construction site, he saw that the ground on the road from Xin Zhen to Huai Zhen had sunk uniformly by 2-3 meters, with the maximum sinking of 6 meters. There were also several obvious underground caves, but they had been filled.

By touching the ground, Chief Engineer Yang knew that the foundation was completely qualified and could not be crushed by any heavy-duty dump truck.

This made the subsequent construction very simple.

Chief Engineer Yang ignored the excited technician who was chattering in his ear about the astonishing commotion last night.

After thinking for a while, he quickly made a decision to change the standard road to a road with a buffer slope.

The 2-meter drop was just right for laying a buffer slope, without spending much money, and there was no need to fill the high road anymore.

The standard for the roadbed height is set at -2 meters, low fill and high cut.

The road surface is 15 meters wide, which is exactly the standard for a state-level highway, and the street lights can be placed on the slope.

Chief Engineer Yang calculated in his mind and immediately realized that the cost of this road was only left with concrete, sand, gravel, and cement.

The process was also reduced by half.

Then...

A bold idea suddenly came to Chief Engineer Yang's mind.

Perhaps, 100 million would be enough.If 100 million could build a 41-kilometer-long highway of this grade, wouldn't this be the pinnacle project of my life?

No, no, this is not just the pinnacle of my life, but also the pinnacle of the empire.

This is a miracle project!

A feeling as hot as magma suddenly surged from the bottom of Chief Engineer Yang's heart, and the boundless heroic spirit once again burst out from his aged body.

Good!

I will pay tribute to my old friend Zhao Minggong with this miraculous project.

For the last journey of his life, I will set off the most brilliant fireworks.
