Chapter: 5079
Ye Chen watched the entire process and couldn't help but wrinkle his brow, saying, "Break Army, relying solely on this kind of direct up-and-down container transportation for personnel and materials is too inefficient. Even with the best efforts, we can only handle tens of people or a few tons of goods at most, let alone during emergency situations."
Wàn Break Army quickly replied, "Mr. Ye, you're right. Currently, these two shafts are actually in the configuration stage of construction. As of now, underground construction is still in its initial stages, so we'll use these two shafts to conduct underground construction;"
"However, next step, we will build a large central building with an area of over 100,000 square meters on the west side of the airport runway, and then open up a slope tunnel from inside the central building that allows for vehicle access."
"The slope tunnel will directly connect from the building's ground floor to the underground construction, like a tunnel with a relatively steep gradient. Once it's completed, personnel, vehicles, and equipment will all access it from here, resulting in a significant increase in throughput speed, with no difference from being on the surface."
Ye Chen nodded: "How many workers are working simultaneously below?"
Wàn Break Army said: "Since we're not considering costs, we're accelerating progress. With multiple teams working together, there are about 500-600 people working simultaneously."
Ye Chen asked again: "What about those Sicilian mafia guys from Canada that we brought back earlier?"
Wàn Break Army smiled: "Those Sicilian mafia guys are currently all assigned to the tunnel construction team, specializing in building underground infrastructure. Our normal construction team works three shifts a day, eight hours each shift, but these mafia teams work two shifts a day, 12 hours each shift, because they're all scoundrels who have committed countless crimes and don't care about labor laws as long as they don't die from exhaustion."
Ye Chen couldn't help but laugh: "After all, those over 800 Sicilian elites are capable of doing things like murder, arson, and bribery. If they can work 24 hours straight without feeling tired, working 12 hours underground won't be a problem for them."
As he spoke, Ye Chen asked again: "What about the Macao siblings?"
Wàn Break Army smiled: "The Macao siblings are still on their boat, which hasn't arrived yet."
Ye Chen's expression turned blank.
Indeed, the journey from Hong Kong Island is quite far, and it would take more than 20 days to arrive."
Just then, the double-layered container was lifted up again. The iron railing on top opened, and Hamid, wearing a red safety helmet, walked out with several Wan Long Temple soldiers accompanying him.
Ye Chen's eyes widened as he recognized him from afar and shouted loudly, "Hamid Commandant!"
Hamid puffed out his belly even further, looked back at Ye Chen, and smiled.
As soon as he saw it was Ye Chen greeting himself, he was overjoyed and shouted loudly, "Oh my, Mr. Ye, Old Brother Ye!"
After saying that, he quickly took a few steps and ran towards Ye Chen.
He swiftly flew in front of Ye Chen, Hamid gasping for breath while excitedly grasped Ye Chen's hand, asking eagerly, "Old Brother Ye, when did you get here?"
"Just arrived," Ye Chen smiled slightly, looked at his protruding stomach, and teased, "Old brother, you've gained a lot of weight recently. It seems like you're living well."
Hamid chuckled, cupped his hands together, and said, "Thanks to Old Brother's blessings! Now we don't fight every day, except for sleeping and eating, eating so deliciously, and sleeping so soundly. Naturally, my weight increased accordingly."
As he spoke, he pointed back at the main well, his face filled with envy, saying, "Old brother, your underground construction project is really amazing! Those passageways are three to four meters high. Compared to ours, our underground construction project is just a rat hole!"
Ye Chen laughed heartily and said to him, "Old brother, don't worry. Once this place is almost built, I'll have the Break Army arrange it too, and upgrade your equipment as well."
Hamid's hands shook with excitement as he asked, "Old brother, is this true?"
Ye Chen nodded and smiled, saying, "Of course, I've never told a lie." JrNovels.com
