How am I still alive?

Chapter 1793 Blooming on both sides

Chapter 1793 Blooming on all sides

The times have brought many changes, except for the hard life of the civil engineer.

The civil engineering work in foreign lands is actually more difficult than that on Earth, especially during the reclamation period.

It is unrealistic to rely entirely on foreign cargo for raw materials; obtaining materials locally is the only feasible option. However, merely collecting materials would be a hellish situation when construction machinery cannot be used.

"If possible, please assign us some trained animals, large or medium-sized ones are fine."

"This is outside the contract, okay, okay, we shouldn't dwell on this now. But even if we try to use the trained animals as labor, do you have the equipment to harness their power? Don't push us too far and let the trained animals eat you. This is not a threat, the trained animals here are all prepared for battle."

"Then give us some professionals who can change the terrain environment, you Extraordinary Group."

"That's really not possible. Those who can control the elements are all mid- to high-level professionals, and their numbers are extremely limited. You want them to dig the earth? They can still build some trenches and bunkers in an emergency, but if they are asked to build a city of dozens of square kilometers, they will die from overload. Aren't you professionals? Why can't you do this or that?"

“We didn’t expect it to be so difficult.”

The contractor had a miserable look on his face. This long-term job paid well, but it seemed really difficult to do.

The Reborn Chamber of Commerce is not omnipotent. Another characteristic of "new money" is that when it comes to unknown areas of work, it often does not have mature accumulation in this area.

The Merchant Corps actually has some talents in civil engineering. After all, any world must have a place to live. However, this time they need to build a "city-state" from scratch.

This is not as simple as simply building a house. It requires coordination in many aspects such as design, urban layout, and construction. It is best to leave water and electricity facilities in the early stages of construction. Now, the division of rail transportation is also required, which requires professionals.

Naturally, the Rebirth Chamber of Commerce hired some engineers, but after their team started working, they encountered too many unexpected difficulties.

After all, these civilian construction groups hired by Lu Ping'an's forces really didn't expect that the difficulty of construction in a foreign land would be so high.

In fact, they can barely be considered little supermen with super powers in all aspects, and they have various magical super tools, so they can cut ordinary steel without any difficulty.

They had not originally counted on vehicles and equipment, and had made various plans in advance. However, when they really started, they found that the construction of this Guixiang City was extremely difficult, and most of the plans became waste paper.

"The wood is too hard. All our magic chainsaws have jammed their blades."

"Is this really wood? Damn, it's harder than titanium."

"All the cement we brought here is unusable. Has it gone bad?"

"The laws of physics have changed, so nature doesn't work. Wait, wood is harder than iron, so how do we get the steel bars for reinforced concrete? Should we just build wooden houses?"

The poor civil engineer was in a state of confusion.

The Rebirth Merchant Group also suffered from lack of experience, but unless they could find a few experienced construction teams in Wanjing, they would have to figure it out on their own.

“How did you bid?”

The report finally reached Lu Ping'an, which made him a little unhappy.

"They are already the best engineering team in the ancient city, but they lack some experience. Such a large project would never fall into our ancient city before."

Okay, now Lu Ping'an understands.

For some things, we naturally give priority to our own people, especially when it comes to accumulating technology.

The ancient city also needs to train its own foreign construction team, which may be used by future star field immigrants.

This kind of thing would normally not be reported to Lu Ping'an's level, but now it has been messed up, and the person in charge is trembling in front of Lu.

Lu Ping'an glanced at it, sighed, and said nothing.

When it comes to engineering, it would be strange if nothing goes wrong. You have to pay the tuition fee. Even if professional foreign engineering teams come over, they still have to readjust the materials and construction methods according to local conditions.

However, those veterans will be much more skilled and will not be stuck in the current situation.

"Let's let most people live in the courtyard first. Maybe we should contact the locals in advance, at least to get some local technology as a reference."

The development of the situation quickly exceeded expectations.

The living environment may be okay, but a safe camp is a prerequisite for development. Although the landing area was chosen as a relatively safe uninhabited area, there are still some troublesome wild beasts and monsters.

No one would want to experience the feeling of being snatched away by a wild beast while sleeping.

"Let the soldiers help for a while. By the way, Eve's crystal army should be able to be used for construction."

In a sense, using top combat power to build houses is a humiliation and a waste, but now there is obviously no choice.

And these are the problems that are best solved in the newly established territory.

“Food poisoning.”

The biggest advantage of extraordinary people as explorers is that their bodies are inhuman in a certain sense. They can easily overcome the problem of bacterial adaptation that ordinary people are basically unable to deal with.

If ordinary people were to explore a foreign land without any preparation, the first thing that might kill them would be a random item among the air, water, sunlight, and microorganisms.

But now, there is still a large-scale food poisoning. Although it is only at the level of diarrhea, it has made some planned urban areas deserted.

At the same time, it also greatly affected the progress of the project.

"Our soldiers have already tried it."

"Just because warriors above level three can eat it doesn't mean that level one logistics can eat it."

"The potion should be effective, just give them the treatment."

"A lot of potions and materials have been bought by the other two purchasing groups. We need to wait for restocking. Especially for the healing ones, most of them have been bought."

Now, even the decision-makers were frozen, as they had not expected that the friendly party's large-scale purchase of medicines was for this purpose.

And the frustrating things have just begun.

"Drowned? How could that be? Wasn't he a sailor?"

"The density and composition of the water here are a bit strange."

The past does not constitute a difficult reality, as it is supported by a large amount of data and intelligence.

Now, the new team has taken on the heavy task of opening up the new site, so naturally there is nothing to see and there are problems everywhere.

Senior executives, including Lu Ping'an, were forced to serve as immediate combat forces and plug loopholes in all aspects.

Great power can make miracles happen. Food poisoning, allergies, or interference from unknown bacteria? You can first delay payment with the top-level deferred payment service. If it doesn't work, you can get life points and go to the courtyard to make a wish for healing or a change of life form.

Can't cut the trees? Use the Rule-level Metal Transformer (Hua Xueyi) as a chainsaw to cut through a large area.

If there is no engineering machinery, Zhixi will go ahead and control these living armors as processors.

Pandaman, there is no work for you, so why don't you go outside and patrol so as not to affect the progress of the project.

The busiest people are the alchemists like Miss Lu. They have so many orders for potions that they cannot finish them, and they are also required to develop potions according to the situation.

What’s even more painful is that, in fact, researchers from all walks of life at Gucheng University are exhausted just by adapting to and exploring the local physical and chemical laws, and they also have to accept outrageous tasks such as “developing local cement/hemostatic agents/combustion aids/anthelmintics as soon as possible”.

The addition of top-level combat power has indeed eased the pressure on all parties. The entire force is striving to develop and seems to be fighting only for survival.

"Survival is the highest priority on the battlefield."

And this is also the only way for Lu Ping'an's team to become a top force in independently developing the star field.
