A single shift could work on twenty bridge piers at once. People crowded the continental shelf beneath the sea, and the sight of thousands laboring together was truly vast and magnificent.
The Tang household certainly did not have that many servants. It was because Zhan Dongwen was pushing to speed up construction and stay on schedule.
He had temporarily hired several thousand more able-bodied men from nearby towns and villages at double wages to do miscellaneous, heavy, unskilled work.
This included heavy work such as pushing cement in handcarts and moving scaffolding. Such tasks could be learned at once and required little technical skill.
Tang Wen had commissioned a design in which the bridge piers would be built first, then prefabricated beams would be installed directly on top, and finally an asphalt road surface would be laid.
Each beam was therefore over twenty meters long, while those spanning the central opening reached thirty meters. Both their width and thickness were around one and a half meters, so a single beam weighed dozens of tons.
Casting these beams required a certain amount of technical expertise, as well as heavy machinery to do the job properly.
Thus, the last time Tang Wen had traveled back to Yunhai City, he had ordered a batch directly from a manufacturer. Of course, the goods were still in the Great Eastern Republic and had yet to be brought back.
He would have to wait until his next trip back, then use the Great Landlord Space's "Luggage Cache" function to bring them out one by one and place them on the piers.
Otherwise, objects this heavy could not be installed without a large hoist and some specialized machinery.
The spatial system's "Luggage Cache" function had brought Tang Wen tremendous convenience. The longer the cache lasted, the more
