It emitted a dull rumble.
The blueprints on the table fluttered slightly in the breeze.
He pressed down hard with his fingers.
Chapter 193 Eight Days Later, the Perfect-Level Valley
Eight days and nights later.
Kodiak Island enjoyed a rare period of calm and clear skies.
During this period, Su Wei was not idle.
He searched all around and collected all the necessary materials.
Su Wei entrusted Matt with the task of obtaining the materials that would require several tons.
At this moment, three heavy-duty vans bearing the Amazon logo were parked on the frozen ground by Emerald Lake.
They had originally only agreed to deliver it to the port, but due to the improved weather and Su Wei's strong insistence...
It was eventually delivered here.
The snow chains of the heavy tires left deep white marks on the ice.
The rear door of the train carriage collapsed.
A logistics worker wearing a yellow reflective vest started up the hydraulic forklift.
The steel forks pierced the bottom of the massive wooden splinter skeleton.
The landing gear emitted a screeching sound.
Three massive pieces of equipment, wrapped in black waterproof membrane, were unloaded one by one at the bottom of the exhibition hall steps.
Su Wei, dressed in gray polar cold-weather work clothes, walked up to the logistics supervisor leading the team.
He pulled a pen from his breast pocket and signed his name on the electronic delivery slip that was handed to him.
A Poseidon chiller worth $4,500.
A variable frequency wave generator worth $2,400.
The total value of the heavy industrial equipment was US$21,350, not a penny less.
The logistics truck, belching black smoke, drove away from the territory.
Su Wei's cell phone inside his overalls began to vibrate continuously.
He took out his phone, and a short message appeared in the center of the screen.
"My flight from Anchorage to Kodiak Island is delayed. It lands tomorrow at noon. Remember to bring Cotton Candy when you pick me up. And don't forget my title as Senior Academic Advisor."
From: Emily.
Su Wei pressed the lock screen button with his thumb.
The screen went out, and the phone was put back in the pocket.
He turned and walked toward the massive building that had cost him countless hours and dollars.
The exhibition hall is two stories high and covers an area of 500 square meters.
Its exterior has been completely sealed off with dark gray R60-grade insulation panels.
From the outside, the building resembles a steel and wood fortress situated in the wilderness.
Eight sets of automatic snow-removing solar panels are installed side by side on the roof.
The massive blades of the wind-solar hybrid microgrid rotated smoothly in mid-air, cutting through the sub-zero air.
Matt pushed open the heavy, fire-retardant wooden door on the first floor and strode down the steps.
The old foreman patted the cement dust off his trousers with his broad, calloused hands.
"Boss, the handover of the hard furnishings is complete."
Matt's voice is rough and loud.
Su Wei stepped onto the pebbles and walked up the steps, crossing the threshold.
The windproof door closed heavily behind him, completely isolating him from the extreme cold outside.
The indoor temperature was close to 15 degrees Celsius, with not a single gap letting in any air.
A faint chemical solvent smell lingered in the air after the polyurea waterproof coating had cured.
All exposed load-bearing steel beams are encased in rough-textured cedar wood veneer.
Looking up, the dome is hidden in the shadows of the staggered wooden beams.
Su Wei walked to the center of the 100-square-meter core area.
On the flat concrete floor, a fireplace made of natural basalt with a diameter of more than two meters rises up.
The irregular, dark gray rocks fit together perfectly, leading upwards to the top of the second-floor atrium.
The enormous furnace could fit half a mature, dead spruce log inside.
"I had Ben and his men hammer down three meters into the foundation, using high-grade, quick-drying cement."
Matt stood by the fireplace and slammed his thick arm against the hard stone wall.
"The load-bearing capacity of this area is sufficient to support a heavy main battle tank."
Su Wei tilted his head back, his gaze following the texture of the rock as it rose upwards.
Three meters above the front of the fireplace, two thick special alloy nails are deeply embedded in the stone crevices.
That was the throne reserved for Roosevelt, the one with the antlers of the Deer King.
Below the fireplace, a 600-kilogram Kodiak brown bear specimen will one day stand on the ground.
Su Wei withdrew his gaze and turned to walk towards the area on the left.
Inside the 200-square-meter sunken trough, the 12-meter-long outline of the river channel has been lying quietly for eight days.
The polar star moss, planted on the slope, spread and covered one-third of the black soil area.
The full-spectrum LED cold light source matrix at the top projects a cool white beam of light.
The moss's translucent, serrated leaves present a vibrant, emerald green color.
However, the most crucial closed-loop condition is missing here.
Without flowing water, this place will forever remain a lifeless, muddy pit.
"Move those two 20,000-liter industrial circulating pumps over here."
Su Wei walked toward the tool cart piled up to the side.
The big man immediately called to two other workers to carry the heavy water pump into the room.
Thick cushioning rubber pads were laid along the edge of the reserved water storage tank at the bottom.
The water pump was securely placed on the mat.
Su Wei drew the KA-BAR 1217 secondary knife from his side, and the blade precisely sliced open the joint of the special PVC pipe.
The muscle memory of [ Mechanical Repair LV2 ] instantly took over his hands.
Apply a waterproof polymer adhesive to your fingertips.
Docking, rotating, jamming.
Without using any torque wrench, he directly locks the torque at the perfect engagement point.
The pipeline extends all the way to the Poseidon chiller unit at the top, and finally leads directly to the outlet at the highest point of the river.
Su Wei walked to the water tank and turned on the stainless steel gate valve on the wall.
The underground well water was violently poured into the 5,000-liter water storage tank through the pre-buried pipes.
The water level rose rapidly.
Su Wei walked to the cart and took out a two-liter transparent glass sealed jar.
It was filled with yellowish-brown powder and some tiny crystals.
He unscrewed the metal cap and poured half a can of powder into the churning water tank.
The clear well water was instantly stained a deep, pale brown color.
I stood to the side, scratching my chin.
"Boss, we spent a fortune on this filter pump, why are we still pouring dirty soil into it?"
Su Wei didn't stop what he was doing; his mind was racing with sand table simulations.
Pure water lacks electrolytes and trace minerals.
Direct injection into waterways can destroy the fungal network beneath the moss due to microscopic osmotic pressure imbalance.
We must utilize natural elements to create old water with a wild, untamed quality.
[ Substrate Analysis LV1 Unlocked.]
A pale blue light flickered in the lower part of the field of vision.
