Buzz!
Buzz, buzz!
The threaded drill bit rotated at an extremely high speed, producing a sharp and shrill roar.
Even the police officers standing several hundred meters away were forced to retreat by the strong wind.
Buzz, buzz!
Buzz, buzz, buzz …
An officer crouching behind a police car tightened his coat. He then turned to look at his colleague and asked, "Brother Zhang, this big guy has been spinning for more than five minutes now. Why isn't it digging?"
"It's high-tech. You don't understand." Squinting his eyes, the officer named Brother Zhang said excitedly, "It's clearly warming up."
"It's already very hot. The surrounding snow has already melted."
"That means it's not hot enough."
The officer: "..."
Buzz, buzz …
Two minutes later, the drill bit's rotation speed actually began to slow down until it came to a complete stop.
At this time, the spacious construction site reverted to silence.
"What's going on?"
"It's not spinning anymore?"
"Did it run out of gas..."
While the police officers were discussing among themselves, Chen Yu's amplified voice suddenly came from the maglev train. "Hello?
Friends outside, can you find me a few excavators?
Raise the angle?
This broken thing's drill bit can't reach the ground. "
Everyone: "..."
Seven minutes later, the person in charge of the construction site found five excavators that were performing road maintenance a short distance away and began the "raising" operation.
Inside the train, Chen Yu awkwardly faced the camera and said, "It's a little wasteful of emotions.
The first carriage's tracks have been raised to the maximum, yet the drill bit at the front still can't reach the ground. This isn't my fault, and it has nothing to do with the operation. This is a bug in this construction vehicle's design. "
"Conductor, in smart mode, the carriage's angle adjustment is limited. You can perform manual operation," the crystal ball lit up, and a synthetic mechanical voice came from it.
"Cut the crap."
Chen Yu waved his hand and said, "This isn't a problem of manual operation. This is a flaw in your design."
"In smart mode, to ensure safety, the carriage's angle adjustment is limited. Please perform manual operation," the artificial intelligence repeated.
"King." Raising her hand, Little Peach suggested, "Why don't you perform manual operation?"
"No!"
Chen Yu sternly refused. "We are an evaluation agency. We have the obligation to correct problems and mistakes we find.
If we use manual operation once, manual operation twice, manual operation every time, what's the point of this smart mode? "
"Oh!" Little Peach nodded in surprise. "That makes sense."
"Conductor, in the smart mode, to ensure …"
"Shut up!"
"Yes, Conductor."
Under the gazes of more than four million viewers, Chen Yu fully displayed the standards and perseverance of a professional reviewer.
Dong dong!
Ten minutes later, outside the train, an excavator used its hook to "knock" on the window twice, indicating that the matting had been completed.
Turning on the communicator, Chen Yu shouted, "Thank you very much. Please retreat now. The further away you are from me, the better."
After waiting for the five excavators to line up and leave, he raised his wrist and swiped his watch while saying, "During the construction process, the exterior of the train is more interesting than the interior.
So in order to let everyone have an intuitive and shocking experience, I will set the camera outside so that you can witness the construction process of the engineering vehicle. "
As soon as he finished speaking, he controlled the camera to fly out of the train. Then, he ordered the artificial intelligence to move the train and climb up the slope. With the drill down, he started digging again.
"Whoosh — Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
The huge drill made of carbon alloy started to spin again, and the heat wave and strong wind blew up a lot of dust.
"Set off!"
"Weng …"
The tracks of the first carriage rose, increasing the vertical angle of the front of the train. As the train slowly moved forward, the sharp threaded drill finally came into contact with the ground.
Rumble! Rumble!
A series of thunderous roars rang out as the threaded drill pierced into the ground, breaking, tearing, and going deeper …
Oh ~ Crap!
Sparks flew everywhere.
[My phone is vibrating.]
[Awesome!]
(Voice cracking)
[My feet are numb from the vibration outside the construction site.]
[Mechanical engineering!]
[What a man's romance!]
[No, it's the happiness of a rich woman!]
[Rich woman's happiness + 1!]
[Rich woman's happiness + 2!]
[I don't want to see the construction!]
[I want to see the female assistant!]
[The female assistant is eunuch today …]
Accompanied by the rumbling sound, tons of soil and gravel were sucked into the receiving opening in the middle of the train through the grooves. Under the ultra-high temperature and ultra-high pressure environment, the soil and gravel turned into soft, semi-solid substances.
Meanwhile, while the threaded drill bit broke through the ground, the terrifying drag force it generated with the surrounding soil also greatly increased the speed at which the engineering vehicle penetrated the ground.
Under these two kinds of drag forces and the driving force of the tracks, the 300-meter-long train drilled into the 18-meter-wide hole and disappeared like a ferocious snake …
After pausing for half a second, the camera hovering in the air chased after the train at an even faster speed.
However, the inside of the hole wasn't completely dark.
As the surroundings were covered in magma-like solid substances, the high-temperature and high-pressure processed soil had yet to cool down completely. In fact, the soil was still emitting a faint red glow.
"Boom boom boom …"
Deep inside the hole, the train could no longer be seen. However, the violent vibrations and rumbles still echoed in the livestream rooms.
Under Chen Yu's control, the camera also slowed down its flight speed.
Now, the four million plus viewers could clearly see the detailed structure of the pseudo-vacuum pipeline.
Every 300 meters, a cylinder would be erected in the middle of the pipeline to support the pressure coming from both sides of the pipeline.
Whoosh —
After viewing the pipeline for several minutes, the camera erupted with a terrifying speed and chased after the train.
The camera was so fast that the livestream room's screen actually turned red …
This was the result of the high temperature and burning caused by the friction between the camera and the air.
[So fast!]
[So hot!]
[Ah!]
？？
???
[It's so fast that I can't see it clearly.]
[Didn't I say that videographers are the most awesome?]
[I've seen it live before. It seems to be an invisible camera.]
[The camera can be invisible?!]
[Crap?]
[It can be invisible?]
Suddenly, a bold idea popped into Chen Yu's mind...
A dozen seconds later, when the floating camera caught up with the rapidly excavating engineering vehicle, everyone finally got to see the vacuum pipeline's production process.
To put it simply, there were only three steps.
First, use a drill to dig the soil.
While breaking through the soil, the drill would also send the soil fragments into the circular container located in the middle of the locomotive.
Second, create the pipeline.
After the soil entered the container, it would quickly condense into a semi-solid substance under high temperature and pressure. The substance would then be squeezed out of the thousands of diffusion holes located at the rear of the container like toothpaste.
Third, expand the front bezel.
The extruded semi-solid substance would stick to the wall of the tunnel and be further compressed by the front bezel at the rear of the locomotive, forming a tubular structure that was integrated with the tunnel wall.
In this way, the three steps worked in tandem, leaving behind a relatively stable pipeline behind the engineering vehicle...
Inside the train's cab...
After carefully observing the virtual route map before him, Chen Yu said to his watch, "The current depth is negative 1,000 meters, and the train's moving speed is 520 kilometers per hour. This is much faster than a train.
With this kind of excavation efficiency, if nothing unexpected happens...
"We'll reach Shanghai in two hours at most.
"The first 'Instant Transmission' channel in human history is about to be born."

(I only have one chapter to add tonight. There are still over 300 words left for the second chapter. Around 8 PM, my depression suddenly acted up. My whole body trembled, and my thoughts were in a mess. I couldn't write anymore.
I'll try my best to make up for it tomorrow.)
