Chapter 1438 We Are Almost There, Stand Firm
Of course the World Government can't build an elevator.
And the small compartment where Red Hair is now, although it looks like an elevator.
In fact, it is operated by labor.
The World Government building has six floors.
The foundation is also very deep.
The empty space under the building is used to imprison goblins and pigmen.
After all, these things can also be exchanged for resources, and their fur, bones, flesh, and blood can also be exchanged for resources.
So like many forces, the World Government also keeps a lot of monsters in captivity.
The key is that these monsters are very easy to feed, and they can be fed by throwing some leftovers and other slop every day.
In addition, the guards of the World Government found that these monsters seemed to be full of energy every day.
So, someone suggested that these monsters could be used as labor.
Of course.
Some manual labor will definitely not use these low-IQ guys.
But some jobs that must rely on manpower can be handed over to them.
At the beginning.
The six-story building of the World Government also relies on stairs.
However
Climbing up and down like this every day, the others are fine.
The Five Elders are exhausted.
After all, their age is there, although they all have a certain combat power.
But combat power is combat power, and physical strength is physical strength!
When the old men and women fight, their burst is very strong, but their endurance is not satisfactory.
If you want them to run up and down every day like other world government officials, it would be better to kill them directly!
So.
Although the top floor is the exclusive office of the Five Elders.
But the Five Elders hardly go up there.
However.
After the guards discovered that the monsters were full of energy.
The plan of a human elevator was heard by the world government officials.
The plan is very simple.
Just make a vertical passage from the first floor to the sixth floor.
Put a huge compartment that can carry people in the passage.
Then hang one end of the iron chain on the top floor of the compartment to connect to the roof.
Then install a directional pulley from the roof, pass the chain through the pulley, and then go underground...
The guards will tie the chains to the monsters.
In this way.
The alternative "elevator" is ready.
For this reason.
The World Government also went to the Chamber of Commerce to customize several extra long chains.
After all.
Those who take the elevator are all high-level officials of the World Government.
If they only tie one chain, they will feel very insecure.
So under the suggestion of some high-level officials, the chain originally designed was replaced with six chains!
Although the number of chains increased sixfold, the number of monsters that need to pull the chains also increased sixfold.
But for the high-level officials of the World Government, it is nothing.
How can their own lives and property be exchanged for these supplies?
Money is not a big problem, the main thing is safety!
This is also the reason why they would rather spend a high price to find the Chamber of Commerce.
After all, in the entire Sky Island world, the only one with outstanding quality is the Chamber of Commerce.
When the World Government was preparing to make the chains, a senior executive mentioned that the price of the Chamber of Commerce was relatively high, and suggested that it be made by another company.
However.
As soon as this proposal was made, it was rejected by many senior executives!
Just kidding, it is expensive for a reason.
Which is more important, life or money?
So.
The production of the elevator was finalized.
And since the elevator was made.
The five elders and other senior executives no longer have sore waists and legs!
It is no problem to go directly to the sixth floor in one breath!
At this time.
The red-haired man looked at the interior of the elevator curiously.
After a while, Lin Yanran next to him reminded: "It's almost there, stand firm."
After all, it is pulled by a living thing, and it is impossible to stop as smoothly as a real elevator.
Sure enough.
As soon as his voice fell.
The whole elevator shook violently.
Fortunately, the red-haired man was careful and stood firm, so he did not make a fool of himself.
As for Lin Yanran and Lu Qi, there was no reaction.
They probably use the elevator quite often and are used to it.
Needless to say, Lu Qi is the leader of the secret organization Sub-0 directly under the Five Elders.
He has to report to the Five Elders almost every day, so it is understandable that he has no reaction.
This thing is like a sailor going out to sea. It is definitely difficult for a novice to adapt to the turbulence on the sea, and even cannot stand steadily.
It takes some time to gradually adapt.
But the old sailors can wander around without changing their faces.
As for Lin Yanran.
This woman was introduced by Lu Qi.
She is responsible for the key work in the elevator.
After all, the monsters that pull the chains are underground.
The guards in charge of these monsters are also underground.
There is no number of floors that the elevator has to go to.
So, there is an elevator key operator like Lin Yanran.
Every time, Lin Yanran will pass the information to the guards below by pressing the button.
The principle is very simple, that is, a thin iron chain is tied to the six buttons 1-6.
In front of the guards underground, there is a wall.
Six large iron numbers are inlaid on the wall.
They are 1 to 6.
Those numbers are connected to the iron chains of the elevator buttons.
As long as the button operator in the elevator presses the corresponding number, the guards will urge the monsters to pull the iron chain of that length.
It is worth mentioning that every section of the iron chain is painted with a color of paint.
And each color corresponds to a floor.
Although the craftsmanship of the elevator is very simple.
But upon closer inspection, it is still full of wisdom.
This is also one of the few "inventions" that the World Government can show off.
Some senior officials even proposed that the manufacturing process of this elevator can be sold to those top forces in exchange for a large amount of materials!
As for this proposal, the senior officials of the World Government have not yet passed the meeting.
However, it is only a matter of time to pass it.
After all, which force can refuse such a cool facility?
And building high-rise buildings also has benefits.
After all, with the development of large forces, there are more and more people under their hands.
Everyone lives on the ground, and if they live separately, land resources are very tight.
If high-rise buildings can be built, it will be much more convenient.
A building only occupies so much space. If it is built as a flat, it can only accommodate a dozen people at most.
But if it is built as a high-rise, it can even accommodate hundreds of people at once!
In this way, a lot of land costs are directly saved.
If the saved land costs are used for breeding or planting, it will also be a considerable profit.
Now for large forces.
The supplies are basically sufficient, and survival is not a problem.
The most critical issue is the increase in the area of the sky island.
After all.
The empty land is really pitiful!
