Chapter 1222: 1209. Farewell
Chapter 1222 1209. Farewell
The No. 7 furnace has been dismantled, and all the parts that need to be transported to Dodan Town have been packed into large wooden boxes, and the details of the labels are written on the outside of the wooden boxes.
Hamlin was worried that when transported to the installation site in Dodan Town, all the parts would become extremely chaotic, so each wooden box had a unique number, and these numbers were carried out in a specific order. Part interfaces also have specific combination symbols.
Although there are no drawings for the disassembly and assembly of these furnaces, these sort numbers are their best construction drawings.
But these serial numbers can only be understood by Hamlin and his group of craftsmen.
He did all these work by himself...
So he needs to personally lead the team to Dodan Town on the Bailin Plane for assembly.
The night before his departure, Hamlin gathered the craftsmen of the steel workshop together. Not all the craftsmen were willing to leave their hometown. This time Hamlin only took away 43 craftsmen of the steel workshop. These craftsmen were willing to leave their hometowns Rushing to the Bailin plane was purely to solve the embarrassing family situation.
With this huge income, at least for a short time, you don't need to worry about life.
Tonight is practiced for Hamlin and the craftsmen who are about to go to the plane of Bailin, so the Uncle Sam tavern in the entire slum area is full of craftsmen from the steel workshop. staring at the sky.
"Hamlin, don't forget to write to us when you get there." Several craftsmen who didn't participate in the journey came over, hooked Hamlin's shoulder, and knocked the beer glass full of foam.
The wooden wine glass made a dull sound.
Hamlin took a sip of the ale that was slightly mixed with wheat grains. Obviously, the ale was not filtered so well.
"Understood, I've settled down there, please take my family and rush to Bailin. Now those of us go to the front station, and we will bring you good news." Hamlin said to a figure The strong craftsman said.
The craftsman's face was a bit tangled, but there was nothing he could do without it. There were four children in his family who were waiting to be fed.
Although this trip can bring him a lot of income, he worries that it will be the last income in his life.
Then the small family he worked so hard to build shattered like soap bubbles. His wife became someone else's wife, his children became someone else's children, and the house and savings he worked so hard to build became the property of others—he dared not bet.
So in the face of favorable conditions, although the strong craftsman with good craftsmanship flinched.
An old craftsman next to him was very open-minded. With the help of alcohol, he said to these craftsmen who gave up and rushed to the Bailin plane:
"The last time those thunder rhinoceros caravans came to our place, I inquired about it. Although it is a small town over there, there is a large forest belonging to Mr. Suldak Consul, and there are really mines over there. , and compared to our standard of living...how can I put it!"
He drank another big gulp of ale before saying:
"I earn a lot, and my daily expenses are very small. I usually live a rich life. It is said that ordinary families basically have nothing to spend there. They always buy baked wheat cakes in the bakery, two copper coins for each, and one for each." One barley cake is enough for a grown man to eat all day, and their sheep only cost four silver coins, so life over there is very comfortable..."
Hearing what the old craftsman said, those craftsmen who chose to give up the trip to Bailin felt a little regretful.
The old craftsman was stared at by so many eyes, and the little drunkenness dissipated at once. He blushed and said with some embarrassment:
"But there are also disadvantages. There will be a beast tide in that place every ten years. It is said that the beast tide broke out just last year. The Suldak Consul's army was stationed there. They resisted the beast tide. It is said that many people died in the town."
The craftsmen immediately became frightened, but then one craftsman added the last sentence:
"Many people also made a lot of money in that beast tide..."
Hamlin went on to say: "We're going to help them assemble the furnace, and we need to carry out follow-up debugging and trial operation. When the furnace can operate normally, it doesn't matter whether you choose to leave or stay there..."
The tavern owner, Uncle Sam, asked Hamlin, "Have you bought the boat ticket?"
Hamlin added a piece of ice to the wine glass, put two pieces of pineapples, took a big sip, and said: "Tomorrow, I will go to the airport terminal to take the magic airship..."
A craftsman crowded beside Hamlin said expectantly: "To be honest, this is the first time in my life to take an airship. I would be reluctant to buy a ticket for two gold coins."
The craftsmen who gave up going to the Bailin plane surrounded them, raised their glasses to Hamlin and his party and said:
"Good luck everyone."
Hamlin also toasted with everyone and said loudly:
"Wait for the good news after our successful arrival!"
"Um."
Summer night, the cheers in the tavern spread far away...
…
Earl Lake Cushing left a letter to Suldak before leaving:
(Dear Duck:
I'm very sorry, but this time I have to leave without saying goodbye. The old Earl Bertkamp asked me to help him as a lobbyist. He helped me a lot before, so I couldn't refuse. If the conditions are the same, please let the balance of Lady Luck slightly tilt He leaned in. He wanted the nephew in the family to run a hotel and needed a piece of land around the steel mill.
There are only so many words to intercede. In order to avoid other people continuing to talk to me about these things, I decided to go to Bena City for a vacation. When everything calms down, I will return to Ruyter.
Remember to pay attention to the residents in the mining area when you are free. I have been trying to move them out of that dangerous area for two years. Unfortunately, due to the poor financial situation of Ruyt City, this idea has never been realized.
Earl Lake Cushing's own handwriting...)
Suldak knew that nobles would be keen on the restaurant plaza project, but he didn't expect Count Lake Cushing to be involved.
But he didn't even expect that Earl Lake Cushing decided to go to the city of Bena in order to avoid causing trouble for him.
Looking at the street scene flying backwards outside the window, Suldak stopped the magic caravan, and decided not to see off the craftsmen of the steel workshop, otherwise seeing Count Lake Cushing on the airport pier would make everyone very upset. Awkward.
The magic caravan was parked on the side of the street, and it was not too far from the airport terminal.
At this time, he pushed the door and jumped out of the carriage, and turned into a back alley with almost no people on the busy street.
Suldak jumped up to the roof after taking a few steps.
This building is the highest place in the vicinity. He stood on the tallest building a few hundred meters away from the airport pier, and waited for a while before waving at the slowly rising magic airship.
On the magic airship, Hamlin and a group of craftsmen stood excitedly on the deck. They were very curious about everything on the magic airship, and they desperately hoped that some of the parts on it were made by the steel workshop. Make them very proud.
So everyone is looking around, and looking for places that only have metal.
It is a pity that the magic airship is a high-end magic product... so even a screw on the airship is not made by Benner.
Although everyone did not find the parts produced by the steel workshop, some people saw Mr. Suldak Consul standing on the roof.
So the excited craftsmen began to approach the edge of the ship's gunwale. Everyone stretched their upper bodies out of the ship and waved goodbye to the Suldak Consul at the same time.
The person on the magic airship shouted: "It's the Consul, it's the Suldak Consul waving to us over there."
There was a burst of joy on the deck...
The deck of the magic airship was so noisy, Earl Lake Cushing, standing on the watchtower of the ship building, followed the direction they were looking at and saw Suldak at a glance.
Earl Lake Cushing was a little sad, but also a little relieved...
The sad thing is that he left Ruyt City in a hurry this time, and no one at home came to the airport pier to see him off. What was gratifying was that Suldak rushed over after seeing the letter.
Count Lake Cushing waved towards Suldak with a faint smile on his face.
…
After Earl Lake Cushing left, Suldak returned to the city hall and asked Xiya to find a map and related information about the iron mine area.
There are many problems left in the iron mining area, which is also the heart disease of Earl Lake Cushing in the past few years. The only contribution he wants to make to the city of Ruyt, and because of the distressed Finance Department, has not been able to bring the residents of the mining area from the abandoned Received from the mine to the outside.
There were originally thirty-two villages and three small towns in the mine area, but that was when the iron mine was operating at its best.
Later, the iron mines on the outskirts of Ruyt were gradually hollowed out, and these dense villages and small towns disappeared little by little. So far, there are still six villages and a small town in the abandoned iron mine area, and other villages and small towns The town has become a deserted ghost village ghost town.
Some collapses occur in the iron mine area every year. Every time it rains, the mining area subsidence and ground fissures have long been commonplace, and occasionally people are missing.
Old people living in the village often say that this is the hollowing out of the ground, and this land is a punishment for the residents here.
For this kind of thing, Suldak also felt a little helpless, because the abandoned mine was simply worthless, and the financial situation of Ruyt City was extremely tight at present, and there was no money to help these villagers relocate. Out of the iron mining area.
It's not that it's expensive to build a house, and moving them out of the iron mining area is a series of troubles.
For example, if they are allowed to live outside the city, they need to help them buy a piece of land. If they live in Ruyt City, they need to help them find a simple job that can support their families, as well as a house to live in. At this stage food and more...
Suldak held the file and rubbed his forehead in pain...
