Chapter 25: Repair Completed
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After sensing another earthquake, Smith felt his scalp went numb.
He was inside the tunnel. If anything were to happen, he would die immediately.
“System, continue to strengthen the tunnel!”
The first thing that Smith thought of was the system. He asked the system to strengthen and repair the tunnel.
Although there was still a possibility of cracks appearing, the tunnel was strengthened by the system instantly.
It immediately became indestructible.
“I was scared to death!”
Smith heaved a sigh of relief.
Half an hour later, Smith left the tunnel.
When George saw Smith exiting the tunnel, he also heaved a sigh of relief.
He was extremely worried and afraid of the situation earlier. If the tunnel collapsed, the whole situation would blow up.
“The tunnel has been repaired,” said Smith with a smile.
“It’s good that you’re okay.”
George was more worried about Smith than the tunnel. His new city plan would be doomed if he lost Smith.
After the foreman received the news, he immediately brought a group of people into the tunnel to inspect the repair.
Half an hour later, the foreman exited the tunnel with his workers. He clenched his fists in excitement.
“The issue has been resolved. There is no danger of the tunnel collapsing. We can continue construction now.”
The foreman went to Smith and held his hand in excitement. He then shook his hand hard.
“Thank you, Mr. Smith! Thank you so much for your help! Otherwise, the entire tunnel would be finished!” said the foreman gratefully.
“It’s nothing. After all, I’m also a member of the company,” said Smith with a smile.
After the foreman thanked Smith, he left to do his work.
The general manager in charge of the tunnel project wrote Smith a check for five million.
It was said to be construction money.
The five million construction money was also a reward for helping them repair the tunnel.
However, Smith was not happy. He was still at a disadvantage.
If there was no second earthquake, the five million he received would be pure profit.
However, due to the second earthquake, he had spent ten million to strengthen the tunnel in order to save his life.
So, he actually lost $5 million to repair the tunnel.
The most depressing thing was that he could not say it out loud.
He could not ask for $10 million for repairing a crack.
It was a bit too much.
He was depressed until noon when suddenly, he received a phone call from George.
George asked Smith if he could do the tunnel project across the river.
After the incident, the machines had been damaged. As a result, the project could not be continued.
Plus, when Smith repaired the tunnel in the morning, he acted as if he was dealing with an unfathomable project.
Therefore, George wanted to give the opportunity to Smith.
Nevertheless, if Smith wanted to take on the project, he had to have a shield machine.
Without a shield machine, it would be impossible to dig tunnels. He could not use people to dig tunnels.
“No problem, I have a shield machine,” said Smith like it was no big deal.
It was just a shield machine.
The system sold the machine for 5 million.
It was a piece of cake for Smith.
Plus, the tunnel project cost more than a billion dollars.
If he did it well, he would receive a huge profit.
The next morning, Smith went to conquer and sign the contract.
At noon, Smith instructed the construction robot to drive the shield machine to dig the tunnel.
“Boss, where did our company’s shield machine come from?” asked Eve. She was confused.
She had been working with Smith but she never knew that the company had a shield machine.
A shield machine suddenly appeared just when they wanted to build a tunnel.
“It’s imported. I bought it a long time ago.”
Smith made up an excuse.
The system had all the legal documents and certificates for the shield machine. Thus, Smith was not afraid if he was investigated.
Little did he know, the system had never proofread the certificates that it created. Otherwise, it would not be so confident.
“Boss, how does the shield machine work? Can I go and have a look?” asked Eve curiously.
“Let’s go, I haven’t seen it either. Let’s go and have a look together.”
Smith was also very curious.
Smith knew how the shield machine worked but he had never seen the specific working process of the shield machine.
Plus, it was not very interesting.
Its purpose was to crush gravel and soil with its rotating head.
To put it simply, it was just used to drill holes.
It will become boring if you watch it for too long.
Smith took Eve away.
There were robots working there. Smith was not afraid of any problems.
He did not need to supervise them at all.
That night, after Eve got off work, she returned to the investigators’ headquarters.
“Leader, this is the instruction manual for the shield machine.”
“The manufacturer on it is a company from a coastal country.”
“As for how it got in and out of the country through customs, I haven’t checked the information yet.”
Eve reported to the leader.
The leader looked at the instruction manual. When he saw the address of the manufacturer, he was speechless.
“There’s no need to check. I can’t find anything.”
The leader put down the manual with a faint look of sadness.
“Why?” asked Eve curiously.
“Because the address of the factory is in Osaka,” said the leader helplessly.
“Leader, is there a problem in Osaka?” asked Eve in confusion.
“There was a magnitude 9.2 earthquake in Osaka.”
“I don’t know what has been destroyed, but the factory that produces the shield machine is definitely buried underground. The boss and his workers are all dead,” said the leader as if he knew everything.
“Then we can also check customs. The person who handles the customs certification and verification will be able to update us,” said Eve unwillingly.
“You’re too naive. Even if we check, the people we find will still be dead or in a vegetative state. If you don’t believe me, you can go and check it for yourself.”
“I’ll try.”
Eve asked for leave the next day.
That afternoon, Eve received the information.
She felt bad because what the leader said was accurate.
Smith did not know that Eve was investigating the shield machine. He had been very happy for the last few days. He had even been laughing in his sleep.
Given the current speed of the system, he could break through the tunnel in less than five days if he did one kilometer per day.
