Wolf King

In May, a fleet consisting of sixteen [-]-ton cargo ships, one thousand-ton passenger ship, and four [-]-ton frigates crossed the inland sea and arrived at Elven Port.

Seeing the Inland Fleet of Flames returning from the Southern Continent from a distance from the lookout lighthouse, the forest elf warriors stationed immediately sealed off the cargo channel between the port and the warehouse, and while arranging for the ships to dock at the port, they sent people on board Walking on two feet to inform the MSG factory.

When Huabao Yugu, the person in charge of the MSG factory, received the news, he took more than a thousand workers from among the workers, and borrowed another thousand young men from the Snake Department to take them to the port for unloading.

In the past two years, the work of unloading was still done by the Snowwolves, but now that construction is going on everywhere, there are no idlers who can squat at the port to load and unload, so this job falls to the human workers and snakes of the MSG factory On the head—Boss Ashu’s food store was originally "configured" by two adult clansmen and two and a half big clansmen, but now they are all changed to three cat clans and one human clan to help Ashu, and the big beam and Ashu carry it by himself...cough cough!

Yubone led a large team to sit on a carriage pulled by a six-legged lizard (purchased by the monosodium glutamate factory at its own expense, this thing can pull people and goods by eating grass, which is more cost-effective than tractors). Come to Elven Port.

"Yubone, do you need someone to help control the hoisting machine?" Hai Lin, who was promoted to a sergeant, saw Yubone leading the people into the warehouse area, immediately threw the weapon in her hand to her companion, and ran over excitedly with her sleeves rolled up.

"You don't want to help at all, you just want to play?" Yugu said.

"Just tell me if you want me to help!" Hailin cheated.

"All right, come on!" Fishbone waved his hand, took out the key and went to open the warehouse door.

Among the young snake clan following behind Yubone, several of them glared at Hailin bluntly... My family can't handle such a majestic thing like driving a hoist, and this guy still comes to snatch it every time!

Hailin turned around and pointed the back of her head at them, what kind of tractors do you usually play, sowing and harvesting are fun enough, don't take everything!

This warehouse is full of loading and unloading machines. Although the ships of the Kingdom of Flame are "small and exquisite", the entire fleet can carry a lot of cargo.

The fishbone leader entered the loading and unloading auxiliary machinery warehouse, and the first thing to be pushed out was a big guy-a six-meter-high all-steel structure lifting frame erected on a two-meter-wide and three-meter-long chassis. The adjustment device can raise the steel frame to a height of ten meters when needed. Of course, because of its cumbersomeness, the height adjustment can only be performed after it has been laid down sideways.

There is a straight out mechanical arm on the top of the steel frame, and a large row of large and small pulley blocks are installed under the mechanical arm... That's right, it's the kind of pulley blocks used to raise sails on old sailboats...

Two large and small cylinder-type devices are welded side by side in the middle of the chassis about forty centimeters above the ground. The large one is a fuel boiler, and the small one is a pneumatic cylinder with an aluminum alloy inner wall; five pairs of load-bearing devices are installed on both sides. Rollers, limited by technical conditions, only the front pair of road wheels can turn, and the rear four pairs are all welded, so it is not too cumbersome to operate... But anyway, it is a thing that is pushed to the dock to unload at a fixed point, and it can go straight forward and backward. When it's over, who expects the hoist to run smoothly.

Well, because of its astonishing self-weight, this simple and ugly hoist does not have a well-designed operating cabin. The operator must climb to the top of the steel tower by himself, with his feet stuck between the steel beams, and a "plug-in" "It seems to be hanging on the top to touch the operating device arranged on the top, it is simply stupid...

Hailin's eyes turned green as soon as she saw the lifting machine being pushed out, and she yelled "Let me go" and wanted to jump up to climb the steel tower.

"You wait for me!" Fishbone hugged the guy with black lines all over his waist and pulled the girl back, "Just push it over, push it over!"

"It's too much trouble to push, let me just drive over!" Hailin struggled.

"You said the same thing last time, but we drove to the street for a walk!" Yubone refused to let go, "The pulverized coal in the mounted coal bag was burnt and lay in the middle of the road, which cost us an extra two It took many hours to get the hoist back!"

"That's because there is less coal powder in the coal bag!" Hailin said stiffly.

Hailin failed in the end, and Yubone threatened "I will never let him touch the lifting machine again if he is not honest" and pushed him down...

Not only that, after the hoisting machine was pushed to the pier and installed, the fishbone also let people use jacks to support the chassis, so that the hoisting machine could operate fixed-point loading and unloading, and Hailin couldn't even enjoy the dull feeling of moving back and forth...

"In this way, the only thing that can be operated is retracting and releasing the steel cable and turning the mechanical arm at a small angle. What's the fun?!" Hailin protested.

"This is a machine for hoisting goods, what else do you want to do with it!" Yubone said with a black line, "If you don't want to, get down, let's go up by ourselves!"

Hailin moaned...he held onto the top of the steel tower where only one person could stand, refusing to budge.

"Okay, what's the point of driving this big, clumsy thing? If you like to toss these mechanical devices, come to the Snake Department to help during the autumn harvest, and some of the machines will be opened for you." Yubone was funny and angry, because the design was very immature. It doesn't matter, this patchwork hoist is very painful to operate, not to mention moving while driving, turning the mechanical arm can make the operator sweat profusely, only Hailin, a wonderful elf, can play so proficiently, even Being able to drive on the street to show off... Seeing as this guy is obliged to operate, Yubone has to give him a good face no matter what.

As soon as the fishbone finished speaking, the snake clan around tossing fixed-point forklifts (that is, a super-simplified version of forklifts), climbing to the ship's side to wrap slings, and arranging assembled temporary cargo tracks in the direction of the warehouse area all looked over in horror. ...

Brother Fishbone, are you serious? !Our Snake Department is not rich, and we have only saved about [-] tractors in several years, and everyone is not enough to drive them!

Fishbone gave them a reassuring look.

On the steel tower, Hai Lin, who was skillfully operating the heavy mechanical arm to turn the direction of the ship, lowered the iron hook on the steel cable to let the crew pull the cargo, was delighted at first, and then grimaced: "When you harvest in autumn, we will also Autumn Harvest, if I go to your place to help and not return to Ananas to work, will the elders spray me to death?"

All the snake clan felt relieved, and continued to work on the matter at hand...

No matter how ugly the hoisting steel tower with all-steel structure looks, it is actually a luxury item.This thing was developed and manufactured for the Grand Canal project, but because it was too bulky and could not be disassembled and assembled flexibly, the engineering team solemnly thanked the Qiuling New District for its contribution and then refused to accept it...so it was "lost" to the port Come.

At the port, the hoisting machine that the engineering team refused to move has become a standard baby egg. The steel tower can be raised, the mechanical arm can be extended, and several tons of cargo can be lifted from a cargo ship several meters high Not to mention the transfer to the ground of the dock, it will definitely not cause collision or damage to the goods, not to mention saving more manpower.

In addition to the extremely conspicuous hoisting machine, Guan MSG Factory is also responsible for loading and unloading the fish bones of its own fleet, and there are many magic weapons: such as fixed-point forklifts, loading the goods on the truck, or unloading the cargo on the truck, and then There is nothing more trouble-free than this thing.

Another example is the assembled track. The steel output of the Kingdom of Flames is not enough to make rail tracks. It is no problem to make assembled short-distance temporary tracks. The gate is paved on the pier, and the goods unloaded from the ship are thrown on the flatbed truck with two rows of track rollers on the chassis. Let alone the six-legged lizard, the cat tribe can run fast when it is dragged into a beast shape.

The wharf here is full of unloading, while on the other side, on the passenger ship docked at the outermost side of the wharf, Yale, the only remaining member of the Tiger Clan, led a few tribesmen, squeezed out of the cabin and onto the deck amidst the flow of adventurers, small businessmen, and crew members. .Stopping at the gangway for disembarking, several tiger heads raised their heads at the same time, looking at the land that was once abandoned by their tiger clan with complicated expressions.

The board height of a thousand-ton passenger ship is not much higher, but just standing on the deck of the passenger ship, they can also look at the whole picture of half of the elf port. At a glance, it is no better than the human race they saw when they were working in the human kingdom. How different is the town.

"More than 20 years ago, Lamia's merchant ships ran aground in this generation. At that time, I came here with other people to search... The desolate beach at that time was actually managed by forest elves like this." The white-haired, white-eyed and white-bearded veteran of the tiger tribe greedily and hungrily looked at the homeland that he had returned to in his dreams several times. Some were sour and some were not authentic.

"What are you doing, don't stand there stupidly! Go forward, people behind here will be unable to disembark!" The adventurers who were blocked by these strong tiger men didn't bother to listen to their sighs, and shouted loudly .

The Yale tent looked back at the vicious adventurer, and went down the gangway without saying a word.

The Tiger Clan in the past may have had all kinds of pride and lofty sentiments, but the current Tiger Clan... not only the Yale camp, ordinary warrior clansmen have long been accustomed to other people's rudeness.

With an average height of 1.7 meters and a little stronger than the Snow Werewolves, the Tiger Clan stood out among the crowd with an average height of [-] meters. The people who got off the boat with the heads of these tigers spotted them, and a small Cat Clan jumped Stepping out from the crowd, he waved vigorously: "Is this the Yale tent? This way! Please come here!"

Yale and the others stretched out their big hands to push away the crowded crowd, and while scolding, they approached the small cat who was being attracted.

"You are..." Yale looked down at the enthusiastic little cat, feeling familiar, but couldn't recognize him.

"My name is Baixiang, and I used to work in the royal court. Of course, you must not recognize me." The small cat with beautiful dark brown skin, black hair and black pupils smiled and showed its small canine teeth, "The grassroots patriarch sent me here Pick up a few, please come with me here."

After finishing speaking, the small cat turned around, and while beckoning a few Tiger Clan to follow, he squeezed into the crowd with all his might...

A small part of the passengers who came across the sea on the passenger ship of the Kingdom of Flame were small businessmen who came to the Elven Port with their servants and bodyguards to buy the harvest of adventurers, and the rest were adventurers who came to the North Continent to explore and make money.

In the past, most of the adventurers set off in groups when they went to adventures in foreign lands full of unknowns; however, the Elf Port has been developed for several years, and its safety and stability have a reputation in the circle of adventurers. In addition, the transportation is convenient (The prairie fleet goes back and forth once a month, and the passenger boat fare is still cheap), so many adventurers who do not form a group or have a few people come to try their luck.

In other words, every time the fleet enters the port, the adventurer team that has formed in the port will come to the dock to block the door of the merchant passage and replenish fresh blood on the spot... This place is narrow (the spacious space is completely occupied by the cargo passage) , It's no wonder it's not crowded!

The Yale tent silently stared at the small cat, which was overcrowded by the rude adventurers yelling "recruit" and "new", reached out to lift the cat up, and raised it to a height above the average altitude of the crowd : "Which way to go?"
