Several warships made of amber floated in the clear honey water of the shipyard, with densely packed buildings and factories above them, giving Elliot something of a futuristic feeling.
He had to admit that it was rather appealing. Leaving aside whether it could actually be built, the model was genuinely beautiful.
Damn it, Elsa was this good at serving up pie in the sky. Why wasn't she working in the canteen!
"But isn't the scale of this project a little too outrageous? This is already on the level of a wonder."
Elliot struggled to get the words out.
Judging by Elsa's model, they would have to hollow out almost half the Hearthfire District. That would be far harder than putting up a few factory buildings.
Although the Hearthfire District was constantly recruiting, it was badly short of workers right now. If all the Believers came to work on this, they could forget about developing the Courtyard.
It would be a fine joke if the nobility swept in and flattened them afterward. Wonders were the ruin of nations!
"We've developed a new technology that can greatly improve digging efficiency and deal with the excavated dirt and rubble at the same time!"
Elliot froze.
The Hearthfire District had developed a new technology?
Seriously?
A project this enormous would require a giant tunnel-boring machine even on Earth, and a tunnel-boring machine could only dig in a straight line, not turn around.
Yet it had not been long since the Hearthfire District began implementing general education across the board, and its engineers varied widely in ability. Could they really have developed such impressive technology?
It was more likely that they had happened to find a Believer who was good at digging. Besides, with this much work, even a high-rank Believer would hardly be enough,
