Chapter 92 Repairs, Building Walls and Expanding the Camp
Meng Lingshi's physique is definitely not muscular; in fact, it could be described as delicate.
Yet this seemingly delicate girl possessed the strength of a pile driver.
Meng Lingshi picked up another long wooden stake and easily drove it into the ground.
While doing it, I couldn't help but reflect:
"If it were me before the transformation, I could do this kind of thing very easily."
If you ask me, you should try to trick a construction engineer into coming here.
He's responsible for building the foundation, and you're responsible for the subsequent upgrades.
"If the two of you work together, building any size camp will be a piece of cake."
Lu Sheng listened to his suggestion and gave a wry smile:
"This is much more difficult than you think."
Where am I supposed to find a builder who's willing to come here?
"If you five didn't have special status, you wouldn't be working for me here."
Upon hearing this, Meng Lingshi quietly leaned closer to Lu Sheng and whispered in his ear:
"Speaking of which, you said last time you could fix me, when are you going to fix me?"
I'm waiting.
Lu Sheng stepped aside slightly:
"There's no use in urging me. You need too many materials to fix it, and there's one of them that I haven't even found a supplier for yet."
What materials do you need?
"sand."
Lu Sheng told her the truth:
"Perhaps because you are a robot, repairing you will require a considerable amount of sand, at least as much as the wood stored in the warehouse."
"In that case, I'll ask Jiang Shutong later; he might have some connections in this area."
When she heard that she needed sand to repair herself, Meng Lingshi wasn't too worried, as she thought it was a very common material.
Rather, she was more looking forward to healing herself.
Once you find a source of sand and combine it with another readily available material, you can restore it to its original state.
"Even with the materials, will you really be able to fix me?"
In response to Meng Lingshi's question, Lu Sheng offered a solution that gave the other party the initiative:
"If our relationship is still good by then, I will definitely help you."
"If we fall out and you side with my enemy, wanting to destroy all my hard work, there's no way I can repair you."
Meng Lingshi clicked his tongue:
"Can't you think of something positive?"
"I call this being prepared for a rainy day."
The mainland student responded:
"What alliance in this world is truly unbreakable?"
"Who said there isn't?"
Meng Lingshi refuted:
"Aren't couples who have been husband and wife for life an unbreakable alliance?"
Hearing this, Lu Sheng gave a wry smile:
"Well, that's a good question."
I have yet to see the kind of lifelong alliance you described.
We might have been able to produce a few from our camp, but as you know, the situation is quite complicated for the married members of the management team.
Qiu Shui's wife died, Liang Shan's wife died, Song Yan's wife cheated on him before they even became wives, and Professor Jia's wife cheated on him after they became wives, taking away most of his assets.
To be honest, I think if we don't get a good example in this area soon, the whole camp will become afraid of marriage.
Upon hearing this, Meng Lingshi sighed:
"The reason why a lifelong alliance is so precious is precisely because it is so rare."
This is a world where happiness can be found without marriage, except for family businesses like yours that still use such outdated methods as arranged marriages.
How many people in large corporations have stable marriages?
"Then why are you even using this kind of example?"
Lu Sheng pressed further:
"Was your marriage unhappy before you were reformed?"
"I'm sorry, but before I was reformed, if I had even the slightest romantic involvement, I wouldn't have met the prerequisites for being reformed."
Meng Lingshi said:
"That project only requires a construction engineer with extremely high skill levels."
Architects like these are always engrossed in their spiritual practice; how could they possibly have time for romance?
At this point, she slammed another wooden stake heavily into the ground.
Although Meng Lingshi said he didn't have time for romance, Lu Sheng always felt that he also had a story he didn't want to tell outsiders.
It wasn't that he liked to guess what others were thinking, but the wooden stake that Meng Lingshi had just driven into the ground was shorter than the other stakes, so he used more force than before.
"Sister, calm down. We're building a wall here. If this section is too short, the whole camp might be wiped out."
Upon hearing this, Meng Lingshi pulled out the long wooden stake again and drove it in a little further forward.
This time, it was level with the other stakes, just not quite aligned.
With the help of this humanoid engineering machine, the camp expansion work, which was originally expected to take two days, was completed before sunset that day.
This time, since the upgrade target was a part of the entire camp, Lu Sheng did not have anyone bring the upgrade materials over, but instead tried to upgrade on the spot.
His idea proved to be correct.
"An unfinished wall can be upgraded into a sturdy wall by consuming 10 units of steel and 10 units of wood."
"Because there are connected upgraded walls nearby, an additional 5 units of steel will be consumed. These can be incorporated into the existing walls and upgraded along the same path."
Without saying a word, Lu Sheng raised his hand and fired a shot into the air.
In fact, he didn't need any physical action to upgrade; he just felt it would be more ceremonial.
With the sound of the gunshot, the original long wooden stakes were enveloped in a light curtain, and the size of the entire camp suddenly expanded by nearly half.
The wooden stakes driven into the ground were quickly decomposed and reconstructed, becoming a thick, double-layered high wall that enclosed several buildings, including the supermarket ruins.
This time, the original northeast gate disappeared.
The walls that built it were moved to a different location, cutting the entire road horizontally, and even the watchtowers were moved, forming a completely new East Gate.
The sentry realized this only when he found himself on the ground, his watchtower far away.
Just then, some tourists arrived at the campsite before dark.
In their view, they were simply driving steadily on the road, about to turn a corner and enter the camp.
Suddenly the scenery changed, and he found himself in the camp, with an iron gate blocking the way behind him.
After the entire upgrade is completed.
Lu Sheng dusted his hands and stretched. Today, Wei sent over new steel. With the materials in hand, he didn't want to delay and planned to build the supermarket tonight.
Tomorrow is the day when all the daily necessities and supplies we bought will arrive at the camp.
It includes not only daily necessities such as bed sheets and mattresses used to decorate container hotels, but also many other small items of a more complex variety.
These items were originally intended to be stored in a warehouse, but it would be more appropriate to place them in the newly built supermarket.
