Chapter 351

~9 min read 1,647 words

——【Are you a primary school student up there? Did Fang Yang charge you? And you want a refund? You're joking, right? Look at his follower count, count how many billions there are yourself—does he care about just you? In short, watch if you want, or get lost; no one's spoiling you. Even if he digs dirt every day, I still love watching.】

——【True fans are different. We're just used to Fang Yang unearthing treasures every day, so suddenly not finding anything has us a bit stunned. Looks like we won't find anything often from now on, but as the guy above said, as long as he digs, I'll watch.】

Old Deng never expected today to go so smoothly; he had long heard Fang Yang's name thundering like a drum.

Inviting Fang Yang today was a last resort.

So during the digging, he was constantly on edge; even the slightest disturbance or hitting a stone made him fear it might be an artifact or even explode.

But until the digging finished, nothing happened.

He even doubted whether what he heard before was just rumor.

However, with everything now proceeding smoothly to completion, he was very pleased and smiled, saying, "Fang Yang, thank you. This part is done. We'll probably be busy with this all afternoon. Let's dig the next spot tomorrow! If it's inconvenient for you to go back, I can call a car for you."

Fang Yang checked the weather; it was still very early, and he had only just finished eating. There was nothing to do back home anyway.

He had never seen how a wind turbine was installed, so he decided to stay and watch the spectacle.

"Uh... I'm not in a hurry. Is it okay if I stay here and watch?"

"No problem. You can watch as long as you like."

"Great!"

Fang Yang found a large stone and truly sat there watching the commotion.

Meanwhile, the workers who had been ready long ago immediately entered the foundation pit to begin work.

More than a dozen workers, dividing the labor, carried red rubber cables and huge pipes as they jumped down.

Afterwards, they laid out the cables and pipes in the pre-dug channels.

At this moment, workers on the other side simultaneously laid the cables connecting the generator to the power station.

Looking down from the mountain, a trench-like pit, dug in advance, stretched all the way to the foot of the mountain.

Once all the circuitry was laid, a concrete pump truck drove over.

Workers held the outlet pipe and poured concrete into the bottom of the foundation pit until the entire circular foundation was sealed.

However, the center and sides of the tower base were slightly different, being a bit lower to form a cylindrical groove.

Afterwards, tools were used to level the concrete surface, and massive blowers were employed to accelerate the drying of the cement.

Meanwhile, another group of workers was assembling the steel framework for the tower base.

A crane lifted the massive tower base onto the pre-prepared groove.

Then, with the tower base steel frame as the center, layers of rebar were laid inside and out, finally connecting with the tower base's steel frame.

Once all the threads were installed, the steel base of the entire wind turbine was built.

At this point, workers carried the pipes of the concrete pump truck and continued pouring concrete inside.

Soon, a stable tower base was completely constructed.

Fang Yang sat beside it and watched for a full hour, his eyes fixed straight ahead.

It must be said that humans are full of curiosity about the unknown; staring at the sun for an hour not only didn't feel tiring but was actually fascinating.

Next came placing the generator's column onto the tower base.

The column was not like the single, very long and thick one seen from afar before.

Instead, it was divided into many sections, somewhat like a fishing rod, with sections stacked one inside another.

But what made Fang Yang most curious was that he only saw the generator's column and did not see the fan blades.

However, in the next second, a specially modified truck suddenly drove up from the foot of the mountain.

Behind the truck, a huge, flat, and long blade appeared in view.

At first glance, the blade's length exceeded 80 meters.

This was far larger than what he had seen from the foot of the mountain looking up before.

【Popularity】 +1+1+1+1....

——【You know, watching them build the foundation is really stress-relieving. Every step they take is meticulous, and each step connects to the next. Unknowingly, I've been stewing in the toilet for over an hour; I feel like my hemorrhoids are about to squat out.】

——【Sigh... I still had some hope, but it seems today is indeed over. A bit disappointed. It's rare to have a day off and want to watch Fang Yang's live stream, but what do you know, nothing was dug up. I feel terrible, brothers. Why? I can't accept it.】

——【Keep a normal mindset. If someone dug like this every day all year round, he'd probably dig up everything in the world. That would be too terrifying. I think this is good; keeping the freshness of occasionally digging up something special, having a bit of anticipation.】

——【No, I just ask you: if you eat meat every day, and now I ask you to eat grass, would you be willing to eat a bite of meat occasionally? I believe most people wouldn't be willing. Let's keep watching; as long as Fang Yang hasn't ended the broadcast, anything is possible.】

Fang Yang wasn't looking at the mountain top this time; he was fully focused on the truck at the foot of the mountain.

He was very curious about how such long blades were transported up.

He knew the mountain road was winding; if he wasn't careful, he would crash into the mountain wall.

He believed that with his own skills, he absolutely couldn't do it.

So compared to hoisting the column above, the driver driving below was more interesting to watch.

However, he was disappointed.

The driver had barely gone up the mountain when he got stuck at the foot of the mountain.

The road ahead required a turn; it simply couldn't come up.

As soon as it turned, the rear tail blade would inevitably hit the mountain wall.

Even a fool knows how expensive this thing is.

If it accidentally got damaged, the loss would be huge.

After trying several times, the driver found he couldn't get up and finally took out his phone to make a call.

In the next second, Old Deng's phone rang.

It was the driver calling.

After a few minutes of conversation, Old Deng walked over and smiled awkwardly: "Fang Yang, sorry. The mountain wall down there is blocking the way. Could you go down and help dig it open to make it easier for the truck to come up?"

Fang Yang checked the time; it was almost time for the broadcast to end, and his stomach was starting to feel hungry.

After a moment's thought, he smiled and nodded: "Alright, then I'll drive the excavator down and dig it open for him!"

208. I told you to drive an excavator, and you dug out a nuclear bomb?

As the saying goes, going up the mountain is easy, but coming down is hard. Although the road had been paved in advance, the descent remained perilous; a single misstep could cause a rollover.

Seeing the excavator coming down, the transport truck driver instinctively reversed to make way.

Reaching the foot of the mountain, Fang Yang glanced at the rock wall that had blocked the fan blade earlier. The area was lush with vegetation, and the mountain body clearly protruded outward.

To let the transport truck pass, this entire section would have to be dug away; otherwise, it was impossible to get through.

In the cameraman's lens, Fang Yang maneuvered the bucket, plunging it into the earth again and again, uprooting small trees on the slope and tossing them aside.

After clearing for some time, the entire protruding section of the mountain was fully exposed.

Next, he needed to dig away the soil covering it.

Meanwhile, at the Xihai City military base.

Brigade Commander Cui, enjoying a rare moment of leisure, opened Fang Yang's livestream to see what mischief he was up to today.

The moment the stream loaded, he saw Fang Yang digging into the rock wall.

A smile involuntarily spread across his lips: "Finally behaving himself today!"

However, the next second, when he spotted that massive smokestack, his eyes suddenly narrowed.

He immediately opened his computer to check a reference image.

There, unmistakably, was a mountainous area with that same mysterious giant smokestack.

After comparing them carefully for several minutes, his expression grew increasingly grave, and he couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath.

Muttering to himself, "I've always suspected this place was a nuclear weapon research base. Why is he digging there?"

But then, a thought suddenly struck him.

"No good! Knowing this guy's nature, if it really is that place, disaster is almost certainly going to strike."

Based on his understanding of Fang Yang, whenever he went out without digging something up, something was wrong!

Just a few days ago, the commotion had been so great that it had thrown the entire population of Xihai City into panic.

Today, for once, things seemed calm, but he was actually brewing something far more terrifying.

As a military leader, he knew full well the consequences of exposing that location.

At best, it would be destruction of a military base; at worst, it would be the leakage of core state secrets.

In that case, forget about Fang Yang; even he himself would not survive if he committed such an offense.

If it really is that place...
