Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 925 885: The Advent of Construction Vehicles
With a wave of Lin Yi's hand, something from within the System Space was taken out by him.
And the moment this object appeared in front of everyone, there was an immediate rumbling sound accompanied by a tremor in the ground.
This sudden occurrence startled everyone greatly; some even fell directly to the ground out of fright.
The reason was that at this very moment, the item Lin Yi retrieved from the System Space was a gigantic excavator.
The weight of this thing is not something a helicopter could compare to—it casually weighs several tens of tons. When this giant was set on the ground, it caused the ground to tremble slightly.
The bizarre metal appearance only added to the unease among these ancient people.
Seeing this giant suddenly appear before them, they had no idea what it could be but could tell just by looking that it was definitely not simple.
Seeing the expressions on their faces, Lin Yi couldn't help but smile, while he stepped forward a few steps, coming before the excavator:
"Hehe, do you see this? This thing is called an excavator, and it can dig up the earth.
Now I will demonstrate for you. Watch from a distance and take note of how it is operated and how it works. In the future, this machine will be entrusted to you for operation."
After saying this, Lin Yi ignored the stunned crowd and directly climbed onto the excavator, then turned the key.
Instantly, a rumbling sound emanated from the body of the excavator.
Even though this is a purely solar-powered engine, it still emitted a significant amount of noise. There's no way around it; the operation of this machine requires coordination with many hydraulic cylinders.
As this massive excavator began to move, everyone widened their eyes, watching intently in that direction.
They had no choice; previously, Young Master Lin had instructed them to watch carefully, as one day this giant might be entrusted to them for operation.
Now, they wished they wouldn't have to blink their eyes at all, staring directly at the excavator's actions.
And so, under everyone's watchful gaze, Lin Yi directly controlled the arm of the excavator to reach toward the ground.
In an instant, a huge pit appeared on the ground.
That was not all. After digging the soil out of the pit, he made a circle, piling it all to the side, and only then did he stop the excavator again.
Opening the cab door, Lin Yi stood on the track, waving to the crowd:
"Now, come over and take a closer look. Observe this pit and see what it's meant for."
Upon hearing Lin Yi's invitation, everyone swarmed over, and when their eyes fell on the deep pit, they were all shocked:
"How is this possible? It dug such a large pit so quickly. This is amazing."
"Oh my goodness, it just dug a pit taller than me. If I were to dig it, it would take me at least two hours."
"No kidding, even if we all worked together, it would take at least half an hour to dig such a large pit."
"That's for sure, not to mention digging the pit; just moving all that dirt to the side isn't something a person could complete."
"Goodness, this is too incredible, so this giant thing is for digging pits. With this giant, would digging a canal be easy?"
"Isn't that so? Digging a horse trench could be done in no time."
One must say these people's minds are quite sharp; after seeing the large pit dug by the excavator, they couldn't help but start discussing among themselves. Hearing their words, Lin Yi couldn't help but nod secretly.
These folks so quickly thought of the excavator's usefulness. Of course, its primary use, according to Lin Yi's plans, was for excavating the area for the future Capital City.
Upon seeing the enormous pit and that huge pile of dirt the excavator had created, everyone was astounded. Meanwhile, Lin Yi wore a sly smile, and with a wave of his hand, there was another clatter, followed by a tremor in the ground.
When people looked again, they saw another strange object appear beside them. This thing, like the excavator, was all yellow, but its design was completely different.
This newly revealed machine had a large, odd-looking shovel at the front.
This was entirely different from the sizeable claw-like part. Not knowing its purpose, they all directed their curious gazes to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi didn't make them wait long; instead, he directly climbed down from the excavator and approached the giant machine, climbing on.
Once he started the engine, he immediately moved the giant, pushing away all the dirt the excavator had just dug up.
With one push of the shovel, an entire bucket of earth was lifted by this loader.
Afterward, Lin Yi even maneuvered the loader to the City Lord's Mansion's courtyard wall, dumping all that shovel-full of earth there.
In an instant, the pile of earth originally in the center of the courtyard was moved to the wall's position.
This time, without needing much explanation from Lin Yi, everyone realized this was used for transporting all that earth conveniently.
One must say, with these two machines combined, the efficiency in doing tasks surely yields twice the result with half the effort. It's no exaggeration to say that just one such machine could replace the labor of a thousand men.
This is not the owner exaggerating either. Nowadays, though labor forces can endure hardship, without advanced equipment, people could only dig with their hands and then load it onto small wheelbarrows to be pushed.
To dig such a large pit in such a short time and transport all that dirt away simply isn't a task human labor can accomplish. Even a hundred people working together couldn't achieve such efficiency.
After all, too many people crowding together makes work impossible; the pit is only so large.
