Chapter 312 Let Me Do It
“Without you, these mountains will still be mountains, and this wilderness will still be wilderness.”
"The soil is still in the ground, and the steel skeletons are still scattered on the construction site."
………
"So, you are the main creators of all this."
"If a person is full after eating ten steamed buns, can he only eat the tenth one?"
"so."
“Science and technology change civilization, and labor creates everything.”
"Long live!"
"Long live!" A voice like a tsunami sounded, and everyone knew who he was.
——
Qiqiao Linglongxin gave an inspiring speech, and after receiving countless cheers, Lin Wen finally found an opportunity to slip away.
On the way, I met Huang Mingxiao who was returning from stealing electricity. He said with a sad face:
"Chief Lin, that electricity is hard to steal. I need to leave the county and connect it to Dongqin Prefecture, but the nearest main line to us is a 1.35 million volt UHV..."
Lin Wen raised a hand to stop him from continuing.
"I'll take care of it."
The sound of the [sunken bell] had not yet disappeared, and he lowered the volume to an acceptable level.
"You make the preparations well."
The power connection point is in the wilderness, just behind the factory. You only need to cross the mountains and walk a few kilometers to get there.
But Lin Wen had to take a long detour by car, going out of Changshan County from the county road, going around to the back of the mountain, and walking dozens of kilometers before arriving.
In a desolate wilderness in East Qinzhou, under a high-voltage iron tower, several electricians were helpless beside a construction vehicle.
Seeing Lin Wen coming, an electrician came up and said with a gloomy face, "Chief Lin, 1.35 million volts of ultra-high voltage is difficult to connect. Working with live wires is extremely dangerous."
"Yes, there's no connection here. Why don't we go to their substation to connect it..."
"The nearest substation is 30 kilometers away. The wires are too long. Besides, they can pump out the power at any time..."
Lin Wen interrupted their argument: "Where's the thread?"
An electrician handed three extremely thick high-voltage cables to Lin Wen.
Lin Wen picked up the high-voltage cable, turned around and climbed up the tower.
"careful!"
"Headmaster Lin is in danger!"
"This is 1.35 million volts of ultra-high voltage!"
The electricians were horrified and rushed forward, some holding Lin Wen by the waist, some holding his legs, and managed to drag him down.
Lin Wen also felt that it seemed a bit too shocking, so he pointed and said, "Take off your protective suit."
"Headmaster Lin, UHV insulation is not safe! If not handled properly, the extremely high voltage could burst through the rubber."
"Take it off!"
"I have special skills to protect against electric shock."
The electricians were skeptical, but they could not disobey the county chief's order, so they had to take off their insulating protective clothing.
Lin Wen put on protective clothing and took a second sip of "Fairy Flower Dew". The fragrance instantly filled his whole body.
Glancing at the spell.
Selected [Wood Magic].
With the dual consumption reduction of [***] and "Fairy Flower Dew", the spell consumption is only one-fifth.
The moment the spell took effect, a huge shadow invisible to mortals instantly penetrated the body.
The Wood God is possessed.
20% of the soul disappeared instantly and was still disappearing at a rate of 0.2% per second.
But he still has 50% of his spirit, and 10% of his spirit is restored every minute. This spell can last for 25 minutes.
Lin Wen felt that there were some inexplicable changes in his body, and the world seemed different, but he had not yet discovered the difference.
I looked up at the UHV transmission lines and felt a sense of familiarity.
[Wood Magic] seems to be effective.
That’s right, thunder belongs to wood in the Five Elements and yang in yin and yang.
Wood produces fire, so there is fire after thunder.
Metal overcomes wood, so metal attracts lightning.
From this, it can be inferred that the Wood God in [Wood God Art] should also have the authority to control thunder and lightning.
Of course, the meaning of the five elements is very broad, and the hexagrams cannot be generalized. That is just a basic understanding.
In order to ensure absolute safety, Lin Wen used a destiny star that he had saved for a long time to strengthen [Phoenix Without Body] to prevent the spell from being ineffective and being burned to ashes by high voltage electricity.
Accidental death is a terrible thing.
Lin Wen held the electric wire in one hand and climbed up the UHV tower with the other.
When the electricians saw this action, they knew that County Chief Lin was an amateur and shouted from below: "Come down quickly!"
"Danger!"
"You can't walk like that!"
"Headmaster Lin! Currently, there's no protective clothing that's absolutely safe against 1.35 million volts of ultra-high voltage! Only top-tier electricians dare to climb the tower!"
Lin Wen ignored them. The enhanced [Colorful Phoenix] did not react at all. Its warning time was very long, enough to protect his safety.
He climbed up the tower in a few steps, one foot directly stepped on the high-voltage line, and the other foot was still on the tower.
This is an absolutely fatal mistake in the electrical industry. Several electricians were scared out of their wits, and some even didn't dare to look up.
However, County Chief Lin remained safe and sound, without any screams or electric shock sounds.
"Oh my god, what did I see?"
"No way... I've been in this business for almost forty years, and I've never seen anyone dare to step on a high-voltage wire like that."
"Is this a special technique for preventing electric shock?"
The electricians watched with trepidation. In their eyes, every move made by County Chief Lin was lethal. However, they immediately adjusted their standards because the truly lethal operation was about to begin.
Lin Wen picked up the cable with his right hand and directly connected it to the 1.35 million volt ultra-high voltage line.
The huge flash of lightning blinded their eyes and shattered their three views. The noise of the terrifying electric current piercing the air drowned out their screams.
The lightning flashed and fell, so fast that it seemed an illusion, and the electrical noise disappeared without a trace, leaving only their hysterical screams.
But soon, they were like ducks with their necks pinched, unable to quack.
Because Lin Wenhao was standing on the UHV line, and the three cables in his hand had been connected to three live wires respectively. He was using scissors to trim the connected cables to avoid poor contact problems in the welding part.
After a while, it seemed to be trimmed and he shouted, "It's connected, test it."
The cables were pulled directly from Changshan County substation, and we'll know whether they can be powered by electricity by trying it out.
The electrician, still in confusion, turned around dozens of times before he remembered to return to the construction vehicle to send a message to the substation.
Ten minutes later, the substation manager replied.
"Everything went smoothly. The circuit closure was successful, and the distribution room is operating normally. You've really improved your skills. You successfully completed live-line work on a 1.35 million-volt UHV line so quickly. I think you're going to get a raise."
The electricians looked at each other, as if they were in a dream.
Lin Wen's shouting came from outside. Strangely, even from such a distance, his voice was still clearly audible.
"Are you ready?"
The electricians finally woke up from their dream and rushed out, shouting, "It's done!"
“Success!”
"The power is on!"
"Come down, County Magistrate Lin."
Lin Wen smiled. This electrician was quite interesting. He actually asked him to "jump down."
It just so happens that he wants to play a game.
Lin Wen jumped down from the ultra-high voltage line more than 70 meters high. The moment he landed, there was a flash of lightning, and the repulsive force field formed instantly supported him and allowed him to land safely.
This move was played beautifully.
Lin Wen looked at them proudly, but saw the electricians staring at him in shock, all with their jaws dropped.
Lin Wen slapped his forehead.
Oh no.
This is his bad habit. Once he becomes addicted to magic, he often forgets that he is still in the physical world.
He felt he should explain, so he said, "I have a special landing technique."
But judging from their expressions, they were obviously saying, "I have little education, so don't lie to me."
Lin Wen thought for a moment, rummaged through his pockets, and pulled out a remote control. He said, "This is the Empire's latest Tiga Spark Prism, which can manipulate electric current."
"It's with this that I'm protected from the electric current. I closed the cable and used the current to fuse it. When I jump, I control the current remaining on the surface of the insulating suit to form a repulsive electric field, which allows me to land safely. Do you understand?"
Judging from their expressions, they seemed to believe it to some extent.
Lin Wen pretended to be mysterious and leaned in close to whisper, "This is the Empire's latest technology. I'm the only one in the entire Empire who has a test piece. You must keep it a secret and don't tell anyone."
At the end, Lin Wen also reminded: "You must not learn from me, oh, without the Tiga Spark Prism, you will be instantly electrocuted into charcoal."
The electricians looked relieved, and their shattered world views seemed to have been restored. They all patted their chests and promised that they would never leak the secret.
Lin Wen turned off the [Wood Magic].
This spell was not as powerful as imagined. He could sense and control the electric current, but it was very difficult. The electric current was like a wild horse under his crotch that would never surrender, shaking and struggling wildly. Lin Wen could only control it a little bit with all his strength.
But his own safety is not a problem. He seems to have become a superconductor. The electric current has no resistance in his body and will not destroy any structure.
After being possessed by the Wood God, in addition to his affinity with electricity, Lin Wen felt that he also had an affinity with wind, and could control the growth of plants or life, create puppets, and other abilities, but none of them were of much use.
The main problem was that the consumption was too high. Lin Wen connected an electric wire with only one-fifth of the consumption. It took only a few tens of minutes and he used up more than 200 points of his spirit.
Without the "Fairy Flower Dew", he couldn't afford it at all.
However, this may be because he has no realm and the strength of his soul is too low.
At this time, Lin Wen's soul had been exhausted, but he recovered quickly.
It seems that the so-called "slow recovery" should refer to normal cultivators.
For a mortal like Lin Wen who has installed a cheat, it is full in an instant.
Therefore, while the "Fairy Dew" lasted, he had to deal with the problem as quickly as possible.
Otherwise you will suffer a huge loss.
Lin Wen found an excuse to run to a deserted place, and used [A World Away] to teleport directly to the vicinity of Xia Xiaoxiang.
This time, he was lucky, the error was within a hundred meters, and Lin Wen ran directly into the office of the Ministry of Personnel.
In a large courtyard in Changle District.
The last time she came was more than two months ago. Lin Wen used a [Yangzhi Ganlu] to give her a bowl of soup, explained the spirit, goals and program of Changshan County, and gave her some personnel selection methods. He asked her to expand her work scope to the refugees and find new talents as soon as possible.
Over the past two months, she has done a pretty good job. The officials' mental outlook has changed a lot, they are much more motivated at work, and their efficiency has improved a lot.
This is reflected in the fact that the good karma in Changshan County has increased significantly.
It has jumped from around 3,500 per week to 7,700 now, more than doubling.
Of course, this was not her sole achievement, but she certainly played an important role.
In addition, she also took charge of the work of more than 8 million refugees, and the management personnel of the refugee management committee were also officially selected, but the senior management personnel have not yet been appointed.
Yang Shaohu was worried about this matter.
Lin Wen came here to solve this problem personally.
As he stepped through the gate, Lin Wen's first feeling was that he had arrived at a library. The entire courtyard was a maze of bookshelves more than two people tall.
After passing through the maze, I saw Xia Xiaoxiang's office.
She was wearing a plain grey gown, a serious apple-shaped hairdo, and a pair of huge black-framed glasses. She looked like a grumpy old woman, with none of her usual charm.
Her face was cold and serious, as if she had just lost her temper. Dozens of key personnel from the Ministry of Personnel came out with frustrated expressions.
When they saw Lin Wen, they showed surprise and greeted him, "Headmaster Lin."
"Hello, County Magistrate Lin."
Lin Wen nodded and walked straight to Xia Xiaoxiang's desk. The latter looked up at him with an expression of great impatience.
"Don't push me. I really can't recruit those talented people. Your reputation is too bad. They don't want to come."
She seemed to have been urged many times, but Lin Wen remembered that he had never urged her.
Lin Wen didn't intend to talk too much. Time was precious now, and there were not many opportunities to cast spells with only one-fifth of the time consumed.
"Give me the names of all the mid-level staff members of the Refugee Management Committee."
Xia Xiaoxiang looked slightly surprised: "What are you going to do?"
"Give me."
Xia Xiaoxiang pulled out a stack of green folders from her right hand: "Here."
The folder was very thick, containing the names of at least six hundred people and their profiles. Lin Wen read through it as quickly as possible, closed his eyes, and directly [Immortal Pointing the Way].
Who among these people is suitable to become a senior member of the Refugee Management Committee?
Consumption of soul: 1055%.
Grass!
It's really scary.
Precise searches are indeed expensive.
At one-fifth of the consumption, 211% of the spirit is still required, which is almost approaching his upper limit.
Lin Wen’s spirit power was not strong enough at the moment, so he was forced to wait for two hours before using the spell.
A total of nine people were selected from 647 candidates.
Lin Wen directly announced their names and said, "The above personnel will directly liaise with Yang Shaohu and Huang Mingxiao and be responsible for all work of the Refugee Management Committee."
Xia Xiaoxiang took off his black-framed glasses and rubbed his temples hard.
"Lin Wen, I'm very busy, please don't make things more complicated..."
Lin Wen said: "This is an order."
Xia Xiaoxiang looked at him speechlessly: "Just based on your few hours of browsing?"
Lin Wen said, "Just find out the basis for their promotion. I've already finalized the personnel list. The rest is up to you."
Xia Xiaoxiang felt extremely disappointed.
This was obvious favoritism, and she had once thought that the young county governor who brought them hope would not do that.
No, I can't ask for too much.
There are no saints in this world... Lin Wen... County Chief Lin has done well enough, and this request is not excessive for him.
She lowered her head, trying to hide the disappointment in her voice.
"I see."
"Okay, as soon as possible."
Lin Wen didn't care about Xia Xiaoxiang's complicated emotions. He was in a hurry, so he turned and left after speaking.
Next is the issue of scrap steel.
To contact Qin Luoshuang.
——
After Lin Wen left, Xia Xiaoxiang immediately convened a new round of meetings of the Ministry of Personnel. The main content of the meeting was to conduct a detailed investigation of all the nine people and to obtain their promotion materials as soon as possible.
This is also the effort Xia Xiaoxiang has made for the program, which is equivalent to shooting the arrow first and then drawing the target.
But it's better than just announcing the winner.
Xu Xiaonan, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Personnel and Xia Xiaoxiang's deputy, said in confusion: "Sister Xia..."
“Call your position when you’re working!”
"Okay... Minister Xia, but isn't this just like before?"
Xia Xiaoxiang rubbed her temples hard. The atmosphere, order and principles that she had worked so hard to establish could not be destroyed.
"This is a special case. As you know, the task of 30 million artillery shells is very tight, and County Governor Lin is under tremendous pressure. The reason you can work without worries is because County Governor Lin has withstood most of the pressure from the Empire... The Refugee Management Committee needs to enter a more efficient operation as soon as possible..."
"oh--"
With this said, the backbone members of the Ministry of Personnel could accept it. After all, it was a matter of life and death, and they understood the principle of taking emergency measures.
The meeting lasted half an hour before it ended. All the key members accepted Xia Xiaoxiang's explanation and went to work with a more positive attitude.
Finally, the matter was resolved.
Xia Xiaoxiang thought irritably.
I hope he won’t come again, otherwise I’ll be really in trouble. Oh… If I had known this would happen, why did I set the tone so high in the first place?
After all, I am still a mortal and really not suitable to be Qin’s husband. Let me do it.
