First, they have to make sure all the cables are pulled over. They cannot just connect one at a time because the carrying capacity of a single line is limited.
Also, they didn't just pull it over and throw it away, they also had to process it and fix it to a special hub device to make it convenient for Shen Qiu to quickly draw electricity.
Therefore, it will take more than a day to complete the project even if hundreds of thousands of people are mobilized to participate.
It was a sunny road at this time.
Shen Qiu and Bai Lanxin sat quietly on the side, with a box of ice-cold beer beside them and a few empty cans scattered at their feet.
At this time, Bai Lanxin was looking at the brightly lit construction area in the distance, wondering what she was thinking.
Shen Qiu looked down at the charred land beside him, feeling mixed emotions, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Ah, the last time I came to shoot on the Tianqing Highway, the scenery here was picturesque and bustling, but now there is only a mess and wreckage."
"That's what war is like. It brings more destruction."
Bai Lanxin replied calmly.
Gusts of wind blew past, ruffling the hair beside her ears.
Shen Qiu looked at Bai Lanxin's peaceful profile and said to her with some emotion.
"In fact, as the daughter of the city lord, there is no need for you to take risks yourself. Just let others help you."
"If I go, it's a risk? Then if others go, it's not a risk? And do you think I'm the kind of person who hides behind?"
Bai Lanxin replied without any hesitation.
When Shen Qiu heard this, he was a little dazed. He looked at Bai Lanxin and seemed to see a familiar yet unfamiliar figure. He replied with a smile.
"Your personality is really similar to hers. You are both so strong-willed."
"Who do you think he looks like?"
Bai Lanxin looked at Shen Qiu in confusion.
"No, that's nonsense."
Shen Qiu came back to his senses, coughed and said.
Bai Lanxin didn't delve into it further. She looked at the flowing Tianqing Canal and asked with some emotion.
"Shen Qiu, why did you suddenly change your mind and accept this battle plan? Is it because of public opinion?"
"No."
Shen Qiu shook his head silently.
"Why is that?"
Bai Lanxin asked curiously.
"You want to know?"
"Um!"
"Well, actually, I didn't want to do it before because I thought this plan was hopeless. If I think there is hope, I will do it without hesitation. I don't need so many people to beg me. You see, when I was in Shenxing City, no one called me, so didn't I rush back to Qingkong City as soon as possible?"
Shen Qiu said with some emotion.
"But you finally accepted it."
"That's because everyone is desperate. The people of Clear Sky City can no longer see any hope, so I have no choice but to stand up. Even though I know it's impossible, I still have to give it a try."
"I don't quite understand why you would do this for Clear Sky City?"
Bai Lanxin asked after a moment of silence.
"I have lived in Shengyin Welfare Home since I was a child. If it weren't for the welfare home, I would have starved to death. Most of the welfare home's money comes from the people of Clear Sky City and the City Lord's Mansion. After I graduated, I couldn't find a suitable job because of my mental illness. It was Clear Sky City that kept giving me mental subsidies to help me get through the most difficult period. In a word, it was Clear Sky City that raised me. To be honest, among the eight cities of the Red Alliance, the only one I really have feelings for is Clear Sky City. If what happened today happened in the other seven cities of the Red Alliance, I wouldn't care."
Shen Qiu recalled the past and said lightly.
When Bai Lanxin heard this, she replied with a hint of self-mockery on her face.
“I didn’t expect that all the superficial work the old man did before would bear fruit.”
"Don't say that. Regardless of whether it's just for show or not, he did do something. It's better than doing nothing. And in my opinion, the city lord has done a very good job. You should know the current situation of the eight cities of the Red Alliance better than I do. Now it's basically an exchange of interests. You pay me and I work for you. But the City of Clear Sky is different. I see a spirit in the Sky Clear Legion that other cities don't have."
"Are you praising us?"
"I'm not exaggerating, you are really different. I can personally feel the love that the soldiers have for the people. As for other cities, it's really hard to describe. Let's take District 8 for example! The city lord and his confidants are suspicious of each other, let alone the City of Sunken Stars. The atmosphere is even worse."
Shen Qiu said with deep emotion.
After listening to Shen Qiu's words, Bai Lanxin spoke after a long time.
"Thanks."
"Uh, why are you thanking me all of a sudden?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to thank you. Any questions?"
"No."
Shen Qiu smiled and replied.
…
28 hours later, under the cover of night.
Shen Qiu and Bai Lanxin stood at the work site, where a 20m*20m special current collection device was set up.
The entire device is semicircular in shape, hollow inside and full of holes on the outside, each of which is connected to a ** cable line.
There are countless lines spreading out from behind this device, and the lines that branch out are also the gathering of many lines.
In addition, a simple shelter cave was dug on the left side of this device. A climbing rope was hung on the wall of the cave, so that people could slide down quickly.
Of course, whether to use this avoidance facility depends entirely on Shen Qiu's own judgment.
"Everything is almost ready, are you afraid?"
Bai Lanxin asked with a heavy heart.
"Don't be afraid. After all, I have done many stupid things before."
Shen Qiu looked at the equipment that was about to be prepared and felt a little excited.
At this time, a pickup truck drove over and stopped beside Shen Qiu. Chen Ye got out of the car and quickly took out a box and handed it to Shen Qiu.
"Brother, I brought you what you wanted."
"Um."
Shen Qiu took it and put it in his pocket.
Bai Lanxin was about to say something when her bracelet vibrated. She looked down at the pop-up message and spoke to Shen Qiu.
"It's about to start, I'm going to get ready too."
"Okay, go ahead."
“You must survive.”
Bai Lanxin patted Shen Qiu on the shoulder, turned and left.
At this time Chen Ye hesitated and said.
"Brother, do you really want to go?"
"fine."
Shen Qiu smiled and comforted Chen Ye. He could see that Chen Ye didn't want him to take risks. But some things had to be tried even though they were dead ends, just in case there was a miracle.
"All right."
When Chen Ye heard Shen Qiu say this, he didn't say much.
"And hold these things for me."
Shen Qiu handed over all the mechanical capsules, mobile phones, etc. on his body to Chen Ye to prevent them from being damaged later.
…
The city of clear sky, directly north.
Lanqing Water Plant.
Li Yuan, with a bandaged arm, was walking inside with a group of subordinates, following the male manager of the water plant.
"Sir, our water plant was built to the highest standards. It's really not a quality issue."
