Chapter 482 The Dwarves Are Disobedient? Two Weaknesses Are Exploited
Lin Mo switched the direction of magic output to "anchoring," nailing the spatial channel into the array runes node by node.
Space crystals and energy crystals release a stable energy field, gradually taking over and maintaining the channel.
Om-!
All the array runes lit up, and the blue light traveled rapidly along the patterns several times before finally settling into stillness.
The light at the edge of the portal softened from being blinding and began to operate steadily.
Lin Mo retracted his staff and let out a long breath.
I'm not so bad from being tired, but it's mainly because I've been mentally stressed for so long that I feel like I'm going to collapse as soon as I relax.
He looked up at the giant, square teleportation portal and smiled.
The Arctic and Antarctic are now connected!
Secretary Li stood aside, her expression shifting from initial shock to numbness.
He's been a secretary for so many years, what kind of big scenes hasn't he seen?
But when someone stood there chanting a spell, a huge hole suddenly appeared in the ground, and on the other side of the hole was Antarctica, tens of thousands of kilometers away...
This kind of scene is shocking every time I see it.
On the other side of the portal, Chen Jianguo was so excited he could barely speak. He grabbed Lin Shigong's arm and pointed in this direction.
"It's working! It's working! It's really working!!"
Lin Shigong took a deep breath, his eyes reddening, and nodded emphatically.
The North and South Poles are no longer isolated islands separated by vast ice fields.
Supplies, personnel, and equipment are just a few steps away after passing through this door.
They felt a sense of security, as if they had finally returned to the embrace of their motherland and were no longer fighting alone.
Lin Mo sat on the ground, took out his water bottle, took two sips, and calmed himself down.
Secretary Li then came to her senses and quickly squatted down.
"Commander Lin, are you alright? Should we call the medical team?"
Lin Mo waved his hand:
"No need, I just need to rest for a while."
He looked at the steadily operating square portal, wiped the sweat from his face, and smiled.
The portal is now operating stably, with soft blue light flowing evenly along its square edges.
Lin Mo pointed to a spot in the array where energy crystals were placed, looked at Secretary Li, and said:
"Maintaining the portal requires energy crystals, and the consumption will increase when transporting matter."
"The energy crystals will decrease until they disappear, so remember to keep an eye on the consumption and replenish them when they are almost gone."
Secretary Li nodded.
"clear!"
Lin Mo turned around and looked around. Instead of leaving immediately, he strolled along the direction of the World Tree.
It's a rare opportunity to return to Earth. Last time he came, the World Tree was still underground, but now it has grown into a towering giant on the surface, and he wants to see it with his own eyes.
The closer you walk to the tree trunk, the sweeter the air becomes.
The fresh, natural fragrance of grass and trees was so rich it felt like stepping into a primeval forest, a completely different level from the canned air in the underground city that had been filtered countless times.
The ground beneath our feet is also changing; in areas not covered by cement, a lot of grass has grown.
Keep in mind that this is the surface of Blue Planet, a surface shrouded in nuclear radiation!
Lin Mo squatted down and reached out to touch the tips of the grass.
A soft, moist touch came from my fingertips; a water droplet clung to a blade of grass, cool and refreshing.
It's real grass, not an illusion.
He stood up and looked up at the sky.
The World Tree's canopy is so dense that it blocks out the sun, its branches and leaves layered like a green dome, with specks of firefly light drifting down from between the leaves, replacing the dim sunlight.
As he walked and observed, he noticed that the soil around the tree roots was exceptionally soft, and when he turned it over, he could even see earthworms wriggling.
earthworm.
Earthworms appeared on the surface of Blue Star.
A strange pang of sadness welled up in Lin Mo's heart.
Once upon a time, this most inconspicuous little thing represented the true restoration of the Earth's surface ecosystem.
He took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and turned to walk towards the parking spot.
"Secretary Li, let's go back to the underground city."
Secretary Li responded, and the soldier started the off-road vehicle.
The convoy drove back along the asphalt road to the giant freight elevator, slowly descending and returning to the interior of the Tian Shu underground city.
The vehicles traveled on the wide main road of the underground city, with bright lights on both sides, and pedestrians and vehicles passing in an orderly manner, which was in stark contrast to the desolation of the surface.
Lin Mo leaned back in the seat and suddenly remembered something.
"Secretary Li, how's our spaceship construction going?"
As Mr. Zhao mentioned before, the focus of spacecraft development needs to be adjusted.
Moreover, the dwarven craftsmen he sent with Thorin should already be inscribing runes on the spaceship; I wonder how it's progressing.
Secretary Li, who was standing beside him, replied:
"The spacecraft is progressing smoothly. It's in the spacecraft manufacturing center on the first floor. Shall I show you around?"
"it is good."
The SUV turned onto another main road and headed towards the east side of the underground city.
Lin Mo looked at the buildings flashing past the window, then suddenly thought of something and asked a question.
"Did those dwarven craftsmen cause any trouble over there?"
This is not a question asked casually.
He knew the dwarves' temperament all too well.
Thorin, that hot-tempered guy, is a typical example, as is Balin, and it seems the dwarf king also has a rather mild temper.
If the high-ranking dwarves are like this, what about the other dwarves?
The dozen or so craftsmen sent this time are all skilled artisans with strong personalities.
Make them obediently follow the arrangements of the Great Xia Dynasty...
Lin Mo felt a headache just thinking about it.
Upon hearing this, Secretary Li's lips twitched noticeably as he suppressed a laugh.
Lin Mo: "???"
Secretary Li held her tongue for two seconds, then couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Commander Lin, you've misunderstood."
"Those dwarves not only didn't cause any trouble, but they were all incredibly well-behaved, arriving and leaving get off work on time every day, never late or leaving early."
Lin Mo's expression gradually became more interesting.
A dwarf? Honest? Works on time?
Given their drinking habits and tendency to be hungover the next day, how could they possibly go to get off work on time?
The combination of these three words sounds utterly absurd!
"Really? What's going on?"
Lin Mo became interested and straightened up to look at Secretary Li.
Secretary Li said:
"Actually, they were quite difficult to manage at first; they were too wild."
"However, things will be fine once we've identified their two key weaknesses."
Lin Mo: "What weakness?"
Secretary Li smiled and said:
"The number one thing is alcohol!"
"You surely know that dwarves are fond of drinking!"
Lin Mo nodded.
"This is Elder Thorin, the representative of the dwarves. He always has a bottle of wine with him and takes a sip whenever he wants."
Secretary Li:
"What our Great Xia Dynasty has in abundance is wine!"
"White, yellow, rice, fruit, 56-proof liquor, 12-proof fruit wine, we have it all."
"The management team figured out the dwarves' weaknesses in just two days. To make management easier, they told them that as long as they completed the tasks with high quality and quantity, they would be rewarded with two bottles of good wine after get off work."
"On the first day, those dwarves were putting on airs, yelling things like, 'Dwarves need inspiration. Do you think they're just trash that you can find anywhere? Do they need to clock in and out on time?'"
"That night, we let them try all sorts of drinks, but only one glass of each, just to give them a taste and keep them hooked."
"The very next morning, they started asking what the day's tasks were."
Lin Mo couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Goodness, using wine to test dwarves is indeed a good idea.
He became curious about the next weakness, so he asked:
"And the second one?"
