Two more days passed. Hesheng finished building the remaining four machines and transported them to the storage yard. More Energy Stones arrived in the early hours of the morning.
He Runxian was fairly vigilant and immediately mobilized the workers to move them overnight. Unfortunately, he had exposed too many flaws before this.
