Chapter 118: Rush Job (1 of 2)

Translated by me, edited by drpetro.

The amount of time left for Ye Qing was only 21 hours.

Right now Ye Qing needed to confirm exactly how many trees the entire gallery would need.

Running back into the massive gallery, workers were hurrying everywhere trying to utilize every available second they have.

Xiao Jun was currently beside a desk outside of the gallery planning out the pillars in accordance to the blueprint drawing of the sky art.

Wen Xiaowei was also not far, making calls. Ye Qing walked up and waited for him to finish.

Seeing Ye Qing, Wen Xiaowei nodded, quickly finished his call, and asked Ye Qing what was up.

Ye Qing pulled out his cell phone, and showed him the pictures he just took of the scenic trees.

Wen Xiaowei’s face was full of ‘huh?’ as he really didn’t know why Ye Qing was showing him pictures of plants.

Two minutes later!

Wen Xiaowei’s two eyes were to the point of nearly popping out as he grabbed onto Ye Qing’s arm and violently shook it: “Mr Ye, your your your ~ your company can really do this?”

“Do I look like a joke to you?” Ye Qing confidentiality continued: “Originally, for testing purposes, my factory made a couple of these out of metal and placed them in the yard for viewing purposes.”

“But being outside and seeing the scenic trees here just now gave me an idea.”

“If I were to do some slight tweaks to those steel trees, then add on some more branches as needed, then they can truly replace those 300 pillars.”

“Old Xiao ~ Old Xiao!” Wen Xiaowei, unable to contain himself, roared out.

……………………

Ten minutes later, Ye Qing finished taking pictures of the entire sky art structure, dove into the Lagonda, and roared off towards Zhongyun.

While on the road, to save time, Ye Qing made a call to the supervising master artisan, and had him immediately prepare the necessary metals for forging.

Apart from the sections of the highway which allowed no stops, to expand his pool of resources further, whenever Ye Qing saw a new or weird looking tree, he would immediately stop and take a picture of it with the 3D camera.

When Ye Qing actually got back to the Dragon Creek Beach factory, the 3D camera already contained the 3D blueprints of hundreds of trees.

Eight masters were already waiting for instructions in the smelting center. They needed to do small fixes to the drawings’ ratios so that their sizes fit in the gallery and that their branches could actually support the pipelines above.

With the entire gallery’s 3D drawing in hand, those soon to be metal tree modifications posed no problem for the master artisans.

Of course, that didn’t mean that there wasn’t any difficulty in making the trees. For example, the leaves were actually very difficult to make.

A single tree needed millions of individual leaves closely stuck together, so even with metal smelting center running on full power, it would still take a long period of time.

If the leaves were to be removed, then just the bare trunk and branches alone would really remove much of the excitement, so Ye Qing wouldn’t give up on creating tree leaves whatsoever.

Producing the leaves……

Was just too easy. It was so easy that no matter how Ye Qing thought, he still couldn’t find any technical difficulties.

Have the smelting center make the mold for the leaves. Then have them pour liquid metals into the mold with a couple of peons, and harvest them once they cool in a couple of seconds.

Wanting to speed up the creation process, the molds could be fitted out with 50 leaf slots. A tree can each have ten of these molds. When all the leaves are connected to the trunk and branches, a blow from the air conditioner will cause many them to sway, and the scene will be just unimaginable.

That rare metal engraver was also put to use by Ye Qing. There were a couple of fruit trees in the 3D camera, so Ye Qing wanted to carve out some peaches, pears and the likes to hang.

The leaves and fruits would all be made out of aluminum alloy, while the trunks and branches needed a little bit of titanium to increase their structural strength and toughness.

Aluminum Titanium alloy was an already widely used type of titanium alloy. Its recipes weren’t anything secretive either, as there were tons of them available in the market with all kinds of strengths and toughness.

As there were a bunch of publicly traded recipes available on market, Ye Qing had already bought a bunch.

As for those that couldn’t be bought, those were ones that just couldn’t be bought no matter the price, because those were people’s rice bowls. Take Ye Qing’s nickel-titanium memory alloy recipe for example, under no circumstances would he ever share this unique recipe and its associated market with anyone.

Molds for 30 some different species of trees were first created by the smelting center, then the peons immediately brought them over to the massive furnace, which had already begun the melting processes of aluminum alloy for leaf manufacturing.

5 PM, the first fully bloomed aluminum titanium Buddhist pine, leaves, branches, and all, was created from the smelting center.

10 minutes later, a breadfruit tree with a massive treetop and branch structure appeared.

20 minutes later, it was a dracaena that looked just like an umbrella.

6 hours later, a ginkgo appeared as the 35th.

The lines on the bark of these steel trees were all unique and special. When they were all placed standing up in front of Ye Qing, he felt like he had been transferred into a world of steel.

The entire gallery was originally planned to have 300 steel pillars, but now they could be replaced by 36 steel trees.

This was the result of careful calculations in accordance to the gallery’s blueprints from five master artisans. Furthermore, every single tree’s branches were all specially altered such that there existed the most reasonable biomechanical structure between them and the trunk.

Ye Qing held off completing the last tree, as he commanded the peons to move all the completed trees into the courtyard. Right now on the road to the factory, there were 37 flatbed trailer trucks ready and waiting.

For the last tree, Ye Qing wanted to make it this exhibition’s super star. When it was placed in the center of the gallery, it had to and would shock out everyone’s eyes.

The center of the gallery was originally planned to be the location of the exhibition’s activity center. A majority of the activity area was suppose to be filled with large screen 3D displays from Changwei, but it had become the ground zero of the destruction. However, now Ye Qing could fill in that place with just one single massive tree.

The activity center was based in the dome, so the tree had to be really really wide, and it had to flourish as well.

There were many really large trees out there. California redwood could grow up to hundreds of meters. Don’t mention propping up the sky, it was more like piercing the sky at that point.

Contrary to popular belief, Ye Qing ditched the idea of picking a large and expansive tree. Rather he picked one that was both representative and philosophical.

The Yingke Pine!

An enlarged, truly extreme Yingke Pine.

Moreover, the entire tree would be made from nickel-titanium memory alloy. Just like the new hulls for the Anti-Smuggling unit’s chase boats, a watered down version of the alloy. Only this way could it be strong and tough enough to become the central support for the center and bear the weight of the majority of the pipings above.

I am Ye Qing. Lucky I found a [Monster Factory] application. This bunch of super strong monsters are individually comparable to over 100 human beings, and they bring all kinds of skills! Efficiency? With the skill processing speed +300, you still want to compete? Precision? *cough, cough* Bring me that legendary dial caliper, let’s show them what absolute precision really mean. Ye Qing: When, us, men want to be successful, we pull out our wallets. Monsters: Don’t play those malice games with us. The creation of ultimate machinery is our love and life. These impenetrable bodies are our tools of the trade. A 20 meter tall, overly buffed, savage looking monsters hold on to a ultimate cutting machine and yelled at the sky: “I am not targeting anyone specifically! Rather I am telling you all that, everything, in front of me and my tools are, nothing, but tr*sh!”
