The Undead Empire That Travels Through the Multiverse
Vol 2 Chapter 56: Undead Labor
The DuPont family moved quickly. Pierre and Chen Mo discussed the initial intention of cooperation. The DuPont family sent a mighty professional team from the United States to Egypt to find the business department of Egypt. They began to negotiate specific cooperation matters.
Of course, the British cannot see the Americans interfering in their sphere of influence, but the British do not have much binding force on the current Egyptian government, or on Chen Mo. In addition, the United States is not weaker than the United Kingdom in terms of comprehensive national strength. There is no good way for the DuPont family to enter Egypt. It can only be used by local British companies to compete for this piece of business.
But compared to these, the British are most concerned about when Chen Mo will start building the canal.
After all, this is what is most closely related to the interests of the United Kingdom. The sooner the canal can be widened, the sooner they can make more money from the canal.
This is the case for the British, and it is also the same for Chen Mo.
So after initially stabilizing the situation in Egypt and establishing his own rule and control over Egypt, Chen Mo began to deal with this matter.
The labor needed to build the canal is naturally not a small number. When the French built the canal, the number of people used was even more than one million. In the era of no modern large-scale construction machinery, it is a helpless necessity to use such a huge amount of manpower.
This is also the main reason why the British had the intention to widen the canal before, but were unable to complete it.
After all, to mobilize millions of workers, even if you don’t pay wages, the food, drink and Lhasa of these people is always a huge expense, plus other management expenses needed to manage the construction of millions of people, it can be said that this is for the British Empire. It is also a heavy burden.
But for Chen Mo, things are relatively simple, because he uses undead labor.
Needless to say, the benefits of the undead are of course not necessary to pay wages, but also do not need to provide services of food, drink and Lazarus, let alone worry about them being sick or lazy, and they don’t even need to rest. It can be said that they are the best candidates for labor.
Of course, it is not an easy thing to use undead labor.
First of all, of course, the most important thing is to be able to have so many corpses. Otherwise, the undead laborers are not crops that grow out of the ground. After all, corpses are needed to summon the undead, and they cannot be summoned out of thin air.
The second is the problem of control. The summoned undead laborers belong to the lowest level of undead. They basically only have the most basic intelligence, no independent thinking ability, and no language communication ability. If no one controls it, it will be a fantasy adventure game. In , the white skeletons or zombies that are specially designed for novice brush experience are almost the same.
Therefore, if you want to use undead laborers well, how to control them becomes the key.
At this point, Chen Mo deliberately checked his spell book and found a suitable plan.

"What is that? Those Egyptians seem to be building a stone tablet? Does that make any sense? Or is this an Egyptian tradition?" On the edge of the canal, in the delineated construction site area, a British engineer looked at some Egyptians The people sent by the government are erecting a black obelisk, and they are very surprised to ask their companions on the side.
"It seems to be an obelisk, a tradition of the Egyptians, it seems to be the nature of a monument." The companion glanced at it, and while explaining to the engineer, he turned over the documents on the table next to him and added: " Egyptian officials have notified this matter, and they will erect such obelisks on both sides of the canal every ten kilometers, which is written into the construction plan."
Hearing his companion's explanation, the engineer curled his lips contemptuously: "The Egyptians really put gold on their faces. Even though we built the canal, they are too embarrassed to erect a monument? Without the assistance of the British Empire, they would do nothing. Nope."
"You can't say that. Without the local laborers in Egypt, the empire would not be able to dig this canal by hand, and it would be impossible to send people from the local area?" The companion did not have the chauvinism of the big country, who looked down on people like this engineer. Still can understand the contribution of Egyptian laborers in this matter.
It's just that his words were not approved by the engineer. Instead, the other party looked at the Egyptian workers who were erecting Senior Fang with an even more disdainful look, and asked his companions, "Where are the so-called Egyptian workers? I won't say. It's these people, right? They're only a few dozen people, and they can't dig the canal out."
For this question, the companion did not argue with the engineer. He just turned over the construction plan in his hand, found an article about labor, and read it out: "The Egyptian government will provide labor in an unusual way, all construction workers, please see Stay calm when you arrive at these workers, and please keep in mind that you both have signed a non-disclosure agreement not to disclose any information related to the construction, so please be aware."
"What? What does this mean? We did sign a non-disclosure agreement, but what is an unusual way? Why should we keep calm?" The engineer listened to his companions reading the instructions on the construction plan, UU reading www. However, uukanshu.com felt puzzled: "Will they send a group of slaves over? Are these barbarians really still using slaves?"
The engineer's words were full of discrimination and contempt, but just as he was making outrageous remarks, the Egyptians had already erected the obelisk, and several people in black robes were standing under the obelisk with their hands raised. , looks like he's praying.
With the prayers of these black-robed acolytes, the words inscribed on the obelisk lit up one by one, emitting green fluorescence, and at the same time, an almost invisible circle of light radiated from the obelisk. , swept the entire construction site in an instant, and also swept a camp that the Egyptians had already prepared with the cooperation of the British army.
As the power of the obelisk swept past, the camp suddenly boiled.
One after another, dead bones and mummified corpses, as well as some still fresh corpses, walked out of the tent in the camp with a pair of green eyes.
"WTF! What is this!" The tent where the engineer and his companions were located was very close to the camp of the undead, so he saw the undead emerging from the tent for the first time, which made his pants wet.
The engineer hurriedly asked the British soldier for help, but to his surprise, the British soldier was not at all nervous or even surprised.
"Okay, Mr. Engineer, I suggest you go back and change your pants first, and then drink a cup of black tea to calm down. These skeletons and corpses are the labor provided by the Egyptian government." Considering that the guy in front of him who was scared to pee his pants is The engineers needed for the construction, the British soldiers still appeased his emotions.
