Chapter 647 Norden
"That's how it happened. In the previous exploration, I contacted people from the foundation, and T will go back and persuade the foundation to cooperate with us."
Hearing what Charles said, the sand people in the room were whispering to each other and talking about something.
This is the first time that Earthsea people have contacted the Foundation on the surface. This kind of organization that transcends all forces in Earthsea actually appeared so quickly.
"Governor Charles, if what you said is true, then the person you are looking for may not be able to speak in the foundation. He himself said that he was just going back and persuading him. Your better solution should be to bring him back. You should ask carefully."
"I know, but this is the first time that members of the foundation have expressed their sincerity to us. We must accept this sincerity. The situation is already difficult enough, and we can no longer make enemies at will."
The discussion in the room sounded again, but their discussion was useless, because Charles had already made a decision in advance.
Just after the voice of the discussion subsided slightly, Jax, the president of the Explorers' Association, glanced at Charles, and spoke again.
"I have discussed with Governor Charles. In the past two months, except for the necessary patrol missions, we plan to stop all explorers from exploring and fully assist the engineering team in building strongholds and railroad tracks."
"I will send you the list of materials that need to be added later by telegram, please accept it later."
This is not only to give all the tired explorer crew a proper rest, but regardless of whether they cooperate with the Foundation in the future, these things must be done.
But when he heard that there would be a two-month wait and additional supplies, a governor with a nose ring became anxious. "Governor Charles, do you need to add more supplies?! Let alone stop exploring for two months!! My island might not last for two months!"
Charles turned his head to look at the other governors. There were still so many people, but he was keenly aware that four governors were no longer present compared to before.
I don't know whether they have turned to the Fortan religion, or the order of the governor of the island has completely collapsed under the high pressure. Anyway, their fate is not much better.
But it is precisely because he knows that the current situation on Dihai Island is not going to be very good, so he needs to take advantage of the good situation to do the necessary things first.
If we don't do it now, then we won't be able to do it when most of the governors present disappear.
"If you want the ship to go fast, the necessary maintenance in the early stage is essential. We agree to do these things to better explore the surface. As long as we survive these two months, the pressure in the future will be much less."
"But we are really going to be unable to hold on!! If you want to add more!! Then I will withdraw from the plan to save the sea, and I will not pay for the various materials allocated to my island!!" The voice of the man carried With suppressed anger.
"You dare!!" Julio's voice exploded in the room, "Whoever dares to delay at a critical moment, don't blame me for being rude!!"
Under the gaze of Julio's eagle-like eyes, everyone lowered their heads subconsciously to avoid their gazes.
But that's it, the other little governors still have unwillingness and embarrassment on their faces. In this difficult situation, the material pressure shared by everyone is already very high.
Just when the atmosphere was a little tense, Anna stepped forward with a smile to make a rescue. "Everyone, don't worry too much. You try to provide as much as possible. I hope the island will make up for your gap as much as possible. Just remember, everyone, this is also for the earth sea."
Hearing Anna's words, all the governors cast grateful glances, and the mountain above them disappeared.
Seeing the strange gaze cast by Charles, Anna leaned into his ear and said, "Don't worry, the development of Hope Island is fast now, and all aspects are exploding in technology. There is no problem with subsidizing any materials."
The matter was quickly settled, and the next step was to briefly discuss some details, and this group meeting ended.
Watching the mages in front of them take out their bags and clean up the sand and magic circle on the ground.
Charles stood up and walked past them, out of the room.
Outside the room is the site that Charles called Site No. 1, which is much larger than when they came here. Telegraph towers, power stations, and watchtowers have all been built now.
There are houses that have just been completed everywhere in this site. They look a bit simple and ugly, but no matter what, at least they can live in.
After all, they don't plan to stay here forever, as long as all the houses can be guaranteed not to collapse for two years, it can save a lot of time at the expense of quality.
A railway was laid not far in front of Charles, and the steel monster with white eyes pulled a box of goods and stopped with a bang. This was the train coming from the Fortress of the Giant Pit.
It is now the lifeline of Site No. 1, and most of the fresh water and food needed by humans and the fuel needed by the power station are transported by it.
Some workers next to it are still building the second rail in full swing. With the continuous expansion of the No. 1 station, the transportation capacity of one rail is no longer enough.
According to Charles's previous vision, this track is just the beginning, and eventually it will extend all the way to the darkness below, and set the final station on the surface there.
As the white steam dissipated, the train stopped slowly, the locomotive gradually separated from the cargo compartment, and various forklifts began to drive over, unloading the cargo.
The bustling wharf scene of the past is reproduced in this simple train station.
At this moment, Charles saw a green human-shaped centipede standing there, pointing its bald round head in the direction of the train. It was Norden who could not return to his body.
Now he is no longer naked, his green body is wrapped in rough canvas, and he still holds a diary and pen for communication on his second right hand, but this makes him even more weird.
Although Charles and the other people who came back have shown that he is the hero who saved Earthsea, when facing the three-meter-high green monster, the other humans in the site still looked at him with fear and rejection, and secretly Talk about him behind his back.
Charles has also used this kind of body before, and he knows that even if someone whispers in the distance, Norden's keen hearing can still hear clearly.
"What are you thinking?" Charles asked, walking up to Norden.
"Feeling the vibration of these steam machines, it has a beautiful melody." Norden opened his diary and wrote in it.
"Norden, are you married?" Charles asked again.
"Captain, I don't need comfort. For Earth Sea, all of us are worth it, and this body can help everyone better."
