Chapter 256: Not An Ordinary Excavator

Translator: Liu_Kaixuan Editor: Valvrave

"Excavator?" After hearing Jiang Zhuying's words, Jiang Liushi shook his head and said, "You are a naughty little girl…"

As a matter of fact, it was one of his minibus' fundamental functions, but at first, he didn't want to waste a mutant nucleus. However, it proved its usefulness under such circumstances.

Jiang Liushi got rid of the large boulders with the robotic arm's help, while the soldiers were in charge of the smaller rocks.

Many soldiers were specialized in operating construction machineries, such as excavators and construction vehicles, before doomsday. However, witnessing Jiang Liushi's skill, they were all astounded.

The robotic arm was completely different. It had five fingers, similar to a human hand, and it could rotate in every angle. Nobody had ever seen such a mechanical arm before. Looking at the robotic arm's five dexterous fingers, everyone was shocked by its ability and accuracy. It was like it had come out of a sci-fi movie.

The mechanical arm could lift a huge boulder weighing 10 tons, but how could it maintain its balance?

"Really…miraculous!" A thin black-skinned veteran exclaimed. There were two rough crutches with a fine turn on his uniform. Although he was only a soldier, his identity was special.

"It's a pity, really a pity. Captain Jiang's ability could play a significant role before doomsday. It could change the world's industrial structure!" The thin black-skinned veteran said.

"Really? Isn't just a high-tech digger?" An 18-year-old man asked.

"What would you know!?" The thin black-skinned veteran looked at the young man and said. "The mechanical arm of a construction machine is a rare outlier. Moving a single machine in a targeted manner is easy, but as for multiple mechanical parts linked together, it's extremely difficult…

The thin black-skinned veteran seemed to be excited, talking about his work. "In the past, our processing machine tools used the three-axis linkage. Even if we're talking about the last period of the world as we knew it, we only had a handful of domestic five-axis linkage machines with limited performance. It had a huge gap compared to foreign countries. And this five-axis machine was embargoed. Japan's Toshiba, in 1983, sold several five-axis CNC milling machines to the Soviet Union. And then the Soviet Union used them as a mother machine to transform their military industry, including the submarine's propeller. The result was that the submarine's noise dropped significantly. However, a number of high-level officers of Toshiba Corporation were arrested!"

Everyone was shocked by his words. For a country's industry, the mother machine was very important, and mainly, it could represent the level of manufacturing in a country. In this respect, it was no exaggeration to say that Jiang Liushi's ability could affect the industries of a nation.

In less than half an hour, the landslide's area was cleared. The robotic arm was retracted, and then Jiang Liushi shouted, "Everything is okay. Let's go."

Hearing Jiang Liushi's words, the soldiers didn't know how to describe their feelings…

The convoy kept moving in a step-by-step manner. The mountainous road was sparsely populated before doomsday, and as a result, there were only a few zombies. It seemed that after the virus' outbreak, the vehicles on the road looked like they had fallen off a cliff.

"Ye County is close to us. The highway passed through the county, so we have to go through it. Fortunately, Ye County is just a small county with tens of thousands of people. The number of zombies won't hinder our progress that much." Zhu Changqing took the operational map, and his fingers were sliding along the road.

"Ye County…" Jiang Liushi was familiar with the name. It was his mother's hometown…when he was little, he spent a long time with his mother at Ye County.

Jiang Liushi had deep emotions for that county, and he hoped that everything was okay…

As the convoy kept moving along the road, Zhu Changqing stood in the hatch of the armored car and observed Ye County's situation with a pair of binoculars. He suddenly said, "Hey, Ye County's situation is complicated…"
