Master of Thermodynamics

Igos glanced out the window, his expression suddenly became a little weird:

"They are hard labor in the hard labor camp, preparing for land reclamation on the beach... This is the order of the Government Affairs Department, and it has just started recently..."

"Reclamation of the sea to create land?" Michelin was taken aback. "Is there not enough land on Odin Island?"

"It's true." Igos nodded and said, "There are too many people in the territory today. Except for residential, factory land, and farm land, there is not much land available for development on Odin Island and Theron Island. "

"I heard that in order to improve the efficiency of land use, the Government Affairs Department has planned to demolish the first batch of public rental housing and build an 8-storey residential building on site so that it can accommodate more residents."

He pointed to the shoal under the viaduct and said:

"The area of ​​this shoal is very large, not less than 1,000 square kilometers, and the average water depth is not more than 10 meters. It is the most ideal location for land reclamation... According to the news circulated within the Government Affairs Department, in the next 30 years Within, Odin Island plans to fill up 15 square kilometers of sea area every year."

Michelin took a breath:

"15 square kilometers per year, 450 square kilometers in 30 years, equivalent to the size of three Odin islands... This is really a big deal."

He stared at the small black spot in the distance, and the **** spot on the side that was suspected to be a construction machine, and asked a new question:

"I think there are only more than 1,000 people in the drudgery camp. With just such a small number of people, can you fill up 15 square kilometers of land every year?"

"Of course it is impossible to rely solely on hard labor camps." Iggos laughed. "This group of untouchables only needs to do preliminary exploration. The Government Affairs Office plans to build a batch of giant construction machinery to reclaim the sea and make land... It is said that they are all over 20 meters in height. Super big guy, what's his name is'Titan'..."

"It turned out to be a Titan, that's really no problem." Michelin said with a smile, "I saw Titan-class magic engineering vehicles in the south of the Thousand Lakes Republic last year. They are really big enough, and each one looks like a super behemoth. ."

"Oh?" Eagleston became interested, "Mr. Michelin, can you tell me about them?"

"Of course." Michelin readily agreed, "They are..."

…………

Although only a few kilometers apart, different people have completely different destinies.

In the round-the-island train, Igos and Michelin sat on the sponge-covered seats, chatting happily.

On the shoal a few kilometers away, a large group of hard laborers are working hard in the cold wind at the end of autumn.

The sources of hard labor are more complicated. Among them are former civil servants who have been arrested for corruption, criminals who have committed various crimes and have been sentenced to hard labor for different years, and even some special persons sent from the Thousand Lakes Republic.

The so-called "special persons" are generally nobles.

No, it should be called a former nobleman.

Since the establishment of the Thousand Lakes Republic, in the constant exchange of interests, Renault occasionally made certain compromises in order to achieve its own political goals.

No more executions of nobles is one of them.

On the other hand, because the killing of "Sapphire Fall" was so prosperous, which made all the nobles feel terrified, Renault had to properly appease the group of frightened birds.

However, Renault did not let the nobles feel better. In the two years he ruled the Qianhu Republic in the name of "the highest speaker of the parliament", he arrested a group of nobles who were accustomed to doing evil.

Although this gang of scums escaped death by chance, they were sent to the distant ocean to lead them to hard labor.

In this kind of ghost place where the earth is not working and the ground is not working, there is a vast sea all around, and they have nowhere to run, only to work honestly.

"Shoo~"

The guard in charge of the overseer blew his whistle vigorously, brandished a magic air gun, and shouted fiercely:

"You scumbags, hurry up and work for the master... 5 minutes later, I want to see this ‘marker tower’ is built, otherwise, your lunch today will be reduced by 1/4..."

This threat made the slaves consciously speed up their actions.

Dozens of hard laborers in charge of repairing the tower, wading hard in the mud without calf, they walked to the trailer in groups, moved a piece of stone down, lifted it to a certain position, and then built it into "Stone Tower".

In some hard labor, thick steel bars are used to firmly fix the stone towers to prevent the stone towers from being washed away by the sea when the tide is high.

This is what the guard calls the "marking tower".

Their function is to mark. In the future, when reclaiming land from the sea, Titan engineering vehicles will use the marked tower as a reference to operate in the designated area.

Alessandro Marchi was a hard laborer who repaired towers.

"Puff...Puff..."

He carried a large stone weighing nearly 100 kilograms, stepped on the gray mud, and staggered towards the marking tower.

Although Alessandro deliberately put a rag on his shoulder, the hard rock still made the bone aching.

But this is not the most uncomfortable.

The chill from the cold muddy water penetrated into the bones, making his feet almost unconscious.

"Huh...huh..."

Alessandro panted heavily, struggling in the mud.

At this moment, he missed his luxuriously decorated noble manor.

In the past this season, he has been leaning against the warm fireplace, enjoying the food cooked by the chef and the most intimate service of the charming maid.

Damn Renault!

Alessandro gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly.

Didn’t it mean that three fishermen were hacked to death in the street?

Dare to stand in the way of the master, offend a noble nobleman, a few untouchables, what's wrong with killing them?

The devil dared to relied on his status as the highest speaker to amend the law that had been in use for hundreds of years, deliberately depriving the lord of his title, and punished a noble nobleman in the same way he treated untouchables...

As usual, the lord pays a few Kinnar fines at most... and even fines are not needed. How could the judge trouble a nobleman?

Father, why don’t you put this blood-washed sapphire lake, the executioner who tarnished the glory of the nobility, into the most terrifying hell, and tortured his soul for ten thousand years...

"boom!"

Alessandro suddenly felt that the stone he was carrying had been hit from the side. Unprepared, he immediately lost his balance and threw his head into the mud.

"Oh, idiot!"

He heard another vicious voice.

Oh, it’s Hairy Hunter, the bully in the drudgery camp... Damn, how could I be targeted by him...

Alessandro secretly cried out.

"Hey, fat man, you listen to me... Your lunch today is back to you, master, remember?"

The next threat from the other party made him feel bitter.

With such heavy physical work, if you don’t eat lunch, how can you still be able to do it in the afternoon? If you can't do it, how would a brutal guard treat himself...

Hairy Hunter hummed, and carried a larger stone, and walked past Alessandro.

"Hey, that **** lying on the ground, how long do you plan to lie down? Within two breaths, if you can't get up to work, you should try the lord's whip..."

The guard's roar came into Alexandros' ears.

The former nobleman hurriedly got up, hugged the stone and tried to lift it up.

However, his action was too rush, his arm accidentally rubbed a water chestnut, and a big cut was immediately scraped out, and the red blood dripped out instantly.

"hiss……"

Alessandro couldn't help crying out in pain.

However, he did not dare to stay at all, and desperately lifted the stone and walked forward quickly.

He was as docile as a pariah in the Baron Marche.

...

"Ah~~Help~~Help me~~"

At this moment, a few hundred meters away, another group of hard laborers suddenly heard a cry of horror.

A group of horrified hard laborers scattered and fled.
