Three months later, the land reclamation team led by Zhong Tianlu had extended their clearing operations over thirty kilometers from the airport, requiring a significant amount of daily travel time.
To save on commute, the team carved a thirty-kilometer road directly into the uncultivated wilderness, venturing deep into the mountains and forests. They then established a campsite within this newly cleared area.
The land reclamation team moved into this new base and began expanding their cultivation efforts in all directions. During this relocation, three soldiers from Longguo arrived to assist in driving away large dinosaurs.
Within a few days, the other nineteen land reclamation teams also gradually relocated to undeveloped land sixty kilometers away, establishing new strongholds and commencing new land reclamation projects.
Naturally, each of the twenty teams already had cooks. Now that they were splitting up for land reclamation, the time spent traveling was reduced, and the efficiency of land reclamation was restored.
Just a few days after moving to the new base, a new piece of machinery was delivered.
It was a large land reclamation machine. Upon its arrival, it immediately drew the attention of everyone in the land reclamation team.
The team members marveled at the colossal machine, exclaiming in wonder.
This large machine was fifty meters long and ten meters wide. The person who delivered it explained, "This is a new large-scale machine developed by our Longguo. It combines functions such as felling trees, leveling land, and excavating soil. With this, we can directly transform any wasteland into arable land."
However, the land reclamation team members seemed less concerned with these functions.
One team member asked, "How, how does this machine fly?"
Other team members also expressed their astonishment, "It can actually fly!"
"Our Longguo has actually manufactured such large-scale machinery?"
"It's incredibly powerful. Our Longguo has built such a machine."
"..."
Amidst the team members' excitement, the leader of the land reclamation team approached the person who delivered the machine and inquired, "What's going on? How is this machine hovering in the air?"
The staff member who delivered the large machine replied, "Alright, I'll explain it to you. That's right, this is a hovering large-scale machine. It utilizes a hover engine. Of course, to facilitate ground cultivation, it's also equipped with ordinary wheels and an ordinary engine. And with the hover engine, there will be no more incidents of large machinery getting stuck in mud."
The leader of the land reclamation team asked again, "Hover engine? Has our Longguo mastered the technology of hover engines?"
"Oh, it seems you're also aware of hover engine technology."
"Of course. Everyone knows that our Longguo is developing World 3. After all, the Longguo military has transported so many hover vehicles back from World 3, and there have been news reports about it on the dinosaur world network."
"Heh heh heh, it seems everyone is aware. In that case, it's time for this large machine to land. After all, constantly hovering in the air consumes a lot of electricity."
The large machine slowly descended. As the machine's wheels touched the ground, the hover engine was switched off, and its weight was transferred to the wheels. Immediately, the wheels pressed deep imprints into the soil.
"Alright, our driver will stay here for one day to teach you how to use this large machine. The driver will return tomorrow. You must learn well tomorrow. At least one person needs to master its operation. Of course, this machine is highly intelligent, so you'll be able to learn it with minimal effort."
Zhong Tianlu eagerly stepped forward to learn. In just one hour, he mastered the operation of the large machine.
While he was learning, land reclamation immediately commenced. The large machine cultivated land at an incredibly fast pace, simultaneously felling trees, excavating, leveling, and tilling the soil. As the machine passed, entire plots of land were reclaimed.
"It's so fast. This machine is incredibly efficient for land reclamation."
"Of course it's fast. With the hover engine, this machine can even transform mountainous terrain into arable land."
In mountainous regions, transportation is often difficult. With the hover engine, these problems are eliminated. Even on steep slopes, hover vehicles can fly over.
Since hover engines are being used here, their application is even more widespread in other parts of the dinosaur world.
On a railway line that had been constructed into the mountains, the railway construction workers were granted a rare break.
Their supervisor approached them and said, "You can all relax for the next few days. Once our railway reaches the next planned city, the railway construction will come to an end. The dinosaur world will no longer be building any more railways."
Upon hearing this news, the railway construction workers present were astonished.
"What? What's going on? No more railway construction?"
"That's right! Without railways, how will the cities in the dinosaur world be developed?"
"Exactly!"
Their supervisor continued, "You've seen the news about the mass production of hover engines by checking the satellite phones, haven't you? That's right, our Longguo has now begun mass-producing hover engines. Yes, hover vehicles have begun mass production. Hover vehicles can travel without the need for roads. Longguo plans to build hover trains, which will require no railway tracks at all."
After hearing this, the railway construction workers understood the reason.
"So that's how it is. It seems we railway construction workers will no longer be needed!"
"Alas! I never thought technology would advance so quickly. Railways have become obsolete so soon."
"So we're going to be unemployed!"
Their supervisor reassured them, "Don't worry, you won't be unemployed. There's a massive construction effort underway in the dinosaur world. We'll likely be assigned to land reclamation. After all, land reclamation is happening everywhere. The entire process of land reclamation in the dinosaur world will continue for decades, even centuries."
Hearing their supervisor's words, the railway construction workers felt at ease. Indeed, the dinosaur world was currently undergoing a period of immense construction, and people were needed everywhere; they couldn't possibly be unemployed.
"Alright, everyone, take a good rest. The remaining journey is not far. We'll be finished within a month. For these few days, just relax."
Similar events were occurring at numerous railway construction sites across the dinosaur world.
