Tomorrow's Ark, Second International

She hadn't received a gift for a long time, and her excitement caused the good flame that she could control to appear again, burning the original brand-new book cover with traces.

If she hadn't put out the fire in time, the book might have turned into a ball of ashes.

"Okay, okay, I have received the gift, you should go too!"

Shy and annoyed, she drove away the little friends who came to give gifts. After calming down, Ifrit began to worry about whether they would not come again next time.

Such worry made the good mood of receiving the gift gone.

But who made her unable to control herself? Sitting on the hospital bed, Ifrit had the storybook that was almost burned just now on her lap, she didn't know what to think about.

Chapter 933 The troublesome work is finally done

Standing by the side of the bridge being erected, Xuezhi has been watching every move of the bridge construction for the past few days. It can be said that he spends all his time here except sleeping here.

Although his own professional bridge-building skills are out of reach, Snow Pheasant still understands some basic principles of bridge-building.

Generally speaking, the erection of the bridge will work from both ends at the same time, which not only saves time, but also can better test whether the bridge will go wrong.

To put it bluntly, if it really collapses, it will only collapse in half.

This time, the International also used the same method. First, they used transport planes to send some materials and construction machinery to the opposite Warrenmurd, and then opened a simple road from the town to the bridge from there, followed by intensive construction.

Some of the materials are still used in Warrenmud's inventory, and even if it is an international material, it is nominally in charge of Warrenmud's purchase, and the purchase cost is still more expensive than the market, but in this way, there is no international Charge again for construction costs and design costs.

Although it is said that it has been holding a sheep to pluck its wool, but it can't be bald, right?

At present, the erection of the bridge has reached the last juncture. If all goes well, the two ends of the bridge will be connected together today, and then it will be officially opened to traffic after a test.

The bridge erected this time has only one lane, that is, it can only accommodate one vehicle.

Although such a design will reduce the transportation efficiency of vehicles, it is not a big deal as long as the one-way release time is reasonably planned.

The reason for this design is that the bridge can be erected and opened to traffic as soon as possible, and the second is to reduce the pressure on the bridge deck.

After all, the standard load of a truck is at least 10 tons. If there are too many cars on the bridge at the same time, it will be difficult for the bridge to last.

With a solemn expression, Xuezhi stared at the last section of bridge deck construction, and he was still muttering, not worried about being heard by the people next to him.

"Don't collapse, don't collapse, don't collapse..."

God knows how many times Snow Pheasant has chanted these words during this period of time. He chanted it when he just fixed the steel cable, he chanted it when he strengthened the steel cable and tested its load-bearing, and he is still chanting it now when laying the road.

It can be foreseen that it will be impossible to stop when the test is open to traffic. During this period of time, Snow Pheasant is almost turning into a repetition chicken.

But who told her it was the first time, the first time is always nervous, isn't it?

Finally, as a prefabricated road surface was successfully erected on the last section of steel cable, the cable suspension bridge across the Great Rift Valley was finally completed.

Although the overall length of the bridge is only 78.6 meters, it can only be regarded as a small point in the bridge, but such a bridge was erected in such a short period of time.

While bringing great pressure to Snow Pheasant, it also brings an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

However, the matter of satisfaction has to be pushed back, after all, the test before the final opening to traffic has not been completed yet.

The so-called test is to use the estimated load, that is, three fully loaded 15-ton trucks go on the bridge at the same time to see if there will be any problems.

Before the test, the engineering staff also placed pressure testers on each prefabricated bridge deck, and will make detailed observations on the steel cables on the bridge.

Look at these assembled by countless small steel cables, it is exactly the same as the principle of twisting fibers into ropes in the first place. Such steel cables are difficult to break suddenly, and it is easy to find out if something goes wrong.

The trucks are driven by experienced old drivers. They wear a special clothes with ropes attached to them. Even the truck itself has been remodeled, removing the "Tianling cover" of the truck cab.

If the bridge deck really collapses, the driver can be rescued easily.

The moment the truck drove onto the bridge deck, everyone's heart went up, but the first step was fine, the bridge deck and steel cables withstood the weight.

The pressure tester is still in the green healthy area, and the steel cable is intact without any problems.

But everyone knows that the most critical moment is when the vehicle reaches the center of the bridge.

At that time, even the pressure tester showed the yellow danger zone. If it turned red, the bridge might collapse at any time.

But as the vehicle continued to move forward, the pressure decreased again, and the bridge deck was considered to have withstood the test.

Opening and closing his eyes, Xuezhi suddenly felt that his legs were a little soft.

"In the future, we can only accommodate two cars on the bridge at the same time..."

The chief designer said so, and other people naturally follow suit. Anyway, the transaction volume between Edelweiss and Warrenmurd is not that big, and it only takes a few minutes for a car to pass the bridge.

After such a calculation, even the current load design is still very plentiful.

There were no grand celebrations at this special moment, and other vehicles began to slowly move towards the city with the resources needed by Warummud.

The load of a truck is several times that of Project 220, and the volume of such cargo is not comparable to the previous air freight.

And the payment paid by Warren Mude will also be delivered to Edelweiss one after another, playing a vital role in the advancement of several key projects on Edelweiss.

Snow Pheasant feels a little tired after a long absence. This is a habit she has developed for a long time. It doesn't matter if she doesn't sleep for a few days or only sleeps for an hour or two during work, but she wants to sleep well after work a few days.

Still thinking about whether to stay here or go back to his warm nest, Xuezhi suddenly felt that he was lifted up by something, and his drowsiness disappeared suddenly, but what he saw was only a long and thin tail That's all.

"Hey, Zumama, what are you doing?"

"Seeing that you are a little sleepy, here is my tent, you can rest."

Compared with her own room, Zumama seems to prefer tents and floor bedding, which can sleep anytime and anywhere.

When she was working on IX-97-01, she was sleeping directly at the feet of the big guy.

Zumama naturally did not forget to leave her "stronghold" here when she needs to run on both sides of the construction site and the underground Nagku.

"What will you do if I use the tent?"

At first glance, the tent can only sleep one, and Snow Pheasant would be a little shy if it occupied Zumama's tent.

"I don't need it anymore, the work here is done, and the big guys are still waiting for me to go back."

"thanks..."

"Needless to say thank you, just give me your knowledge."

"Eh?" Although he felt that the transition was a bit sudden, Xuezhi immediately agreed, "Okay...Okay!"

Chapter 934 Engine Restart

"Everyone has checked carefully, whether the pressure value is normal, and whether the heat insulation shell is damaged. I don't want to see explosions and fires!"

At any rate, he has also become the technical director in charge of the engine of the mobile city. Du Ke is still somewhat majestic, but this majesty is somewhat compromised by the fact that the Du Lin tribe is born to be Douding.

"All the data is normal, and we are also prepared to face the unexpected and can evacuate at any time."

Du Ke nodded, now every technician in the world is a treasure, and they cannot be lost here casually.

After all, she still doesn't know much about herself, and she doesn't know if she will face failure.

"Then let's begin."

With Du Ke's order, the core power unit of Warrenmurd began to warm up, and it is expected that the first trial ignition can be carried out in two hours.

The so-called preheating is to reheat various pipes that have not been used for a long time to avoid pipe rupture or bursting due to thermal expansion and contraction in winter.

No matter how strong the material is, it is also extremely fragile under this natural principle. Du Ke didn't want to make this attempt to ignite fail because of this reason.

As the preheating progressed, the temperature testers in the control room also began to turn from yellow to green, which was a signal that the preheating was complete.

For all the technicians here, green is the most beautiful color, anyway, just don't turn it into red, it means danger.

Looking at the data one by one, checking all possible problems again, two hours passed quickly, counting the time, Du Ke issued a new order.

"Start the fire!"

Don't look so solemn, in fact, the complicated things are the previous preparations, and the real operation of ignition is not simple.

It's not just inserting the key, moving a few switches and pressing the most important ignition button.

The sound of the machine starting up was soothing and pleasant, and Du Ke must have breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as there are no sharp and piercing sounds, most of the success is basically successful.

What happened next was pretty much what she expected, the indicator light on the core engine lit up and turned a warm yellow.

This means that the engine has been successfully repaired and is ready to drive the city forward. Although the ultimate stress test has not yet been carried out, this time it is not prepared to conduct such a test.

At least it’s enough to be able to move. What kind of bicycle do you need? The extreme test is not suitable for this kind of town that has already been settled. This kind of thing should be left to the technicians of Letania in the future.

"Okay, please celebrate. Next, please make a report and record any problems and experiences you encounter. This will be used in our own mobile city construction!"

After Du Ke finished speaking, there was laughter in the control room one after another. Looking at the engine repaired by himself, it was like the adopted child had finally grown up.

As the most critical part of Warrenmurd's repair operation, it naturally attracted the attention of countless people outside the stadium. Severin came to the front line in person, not to mention bringing all the fire engines of Warrenmurd. Explosions and fires.

It has been nearly two weeks since Edelweiss approached Warrenmud. During this period, the two cities have done a lot of transactions. Nearly one-third of the food stocks on Edelweiss, a total of 500 tons of grain, were sent to Warrum Germany.

These foods are enough for the population of 8000 people in Warrenmud for at least three months, and this is calculated based on the food consumed by the population of heavy physical laborers.

With the help of fat intake and other non-staple foods, these foods can last longer.

In the past three months, no matter what, you can bypass the Great Rift Valley again, re-establish connections with other cities and obtain food supplies.

With international efficiency, potatoes can be sown and harvested in waves.

As long as the engine is repaired smoothly and Warrenmud can be activated again, he can bypass the Great Rift Valley and go to Hollabrun to find the Marquis of Hollabrun.

The biggest suspect in colluding with the Witch King's remnant party is him anyway, and it can only be him.

Although it is said that the war is about to be as fast as one soldier, in the final analysis this time the war is more like a political show.

The entire northwestern part of Letania has been artificially isolated from the outside world. Even if Horabrun knew the news that the sorcerer group had been wiped out, it would be difficult to respond effectively.

In other words, they have already made complete preparations, and if time drags on, they will relax.

Although the nobles are the actual controllers of the mobile city, even the officials sent by the kingdom cannot compare, but at the same time they are subject to many restrictions.

There are no special circumstances that cannot mobilize the kingdom's army from nearby garrison points, and the only thing you can rely on is your own private soldiers and reinforcements from some political allies.

Don't look at the international has been staying here without moving, the scouts of the vanguard have already been deployed around Hollabrun, and some members of the Special Branch have tried their best to sneak into the city to collect intelligence.

Just as it is currently on the bright side, Hollabrun is preparing for a grand wedding ceremony. This time the wedding strictly abides by the etiquette. It is said that the two parties of the wedding have been preparing for it since they agreed on the marriage contract two months ago. Who It is not known when the wedding will start.

Such a long preparation time also attracted a large number of merchants, filling the streets and alleys of Hollabrun.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that this city is currently the busiest city in the northwest of Letania, and it is in stark contrast to the bleak appearance of Wollenmud.
