Chapter 32

"Sure, Director Yue, since you've asked, I'll naturally help you solve this problem."

"But..." Ye Qing changed the subject: "Director Yue, you might not know, there's no similar machine tool product abroad. It's a new product we're developing in our factory, currently in the testing phase."

"Testing?" Director Yue asked with interest: "How long will it take to complete the testing, Boss Ye? We're friends, after all. Look, I've already arranged the first batch of machine tool orders for you."

"My friend said he wants to order five of these engraving machines."

As long as the engraving machines weren't sold to Jiangshan Stone Factory owned by Sang Qing, Ye Qing would sell them to anyone, even if demons came.

Ye Qing was actually quite happy to give the first batch of orders to Director Yue, saving him the trouble of running around for business.

Ye Qing quickly estimated in his mind how long it would take to manufacture these engraving machines.

The Rapid Metal Engraving Machine (Ordinary Quality) had strict blueprint requirements. The blueprint detailed the types of machine tools needed, and at least one Master Craftsman and a Strong Laborer had to be involved.

The machine tools were already in place, and there were two Master Craftsmen available for processing, not to mention the Strong Laborers.

The remaining task was to purchase raw materials, and the reference time given on the blueprint was two days.

If the materials were bought tomorrow, the first product should be ready by the third day.

"It's almost done, just a few more days."

"I'll be waiting for your good news." As Director Yue was about to hang up, he remembered something and added: "By the way, send me your email. I've asked the design institute to create several stone carving blueprints with Zhongyun's cultural characteristics for the city construction bureau. You can process the curb stones for the other streets according to the patterns I send you."

Ye Qing agreed and immediately sent his email address.

With business coming to him, Ye Qing was even more motivated.

He had already set the price for the engraving machines at 500,000 RMB each.

In just two days, with a cost of 30,000 to 50,000 RMB, he could make several times the profit, definitely more lucrative than robbing a bank.

This was the charm of high technology. Previously, no matter how hard he worked to manufacture machine tools and set the lowest price in the city, he couldn't sell them.

Now, even before officially starting production, orders worth millions had flown in.

He hummed a happy tune while working.

As the sun slowly set at the horizon, the sea waves crashed against the rocks and the dock, and the tide began to rise. Ye Qing finally finished his work.

When he came to the yard, the huge change almost made him stumble.

The wall...

It had already been built to a height of about one meter by these monsters.

The ground here was hard sandstone with many exposed rocks buried in it, but these monsters had managed to excavate the foundation and build a one-meter-high cement brick wall in just a few hours.

If he led them out to take on city construction projects...

Ye Qing couldn't imagine the efficiency of these human excavators and was even more eager to see if the upgraded Monster Factory could solve the most pressing issue...

The identity problem of the monsters!

These humanoid tyrannosaurs, with their greenish bodies covered in bristly hair and two tusks protruding from their lower jaws, would scare even Bear Grylls if they were seen in public.

Last time, Ye Qing had used hair dye to turn Niu Yi and Niu Er black, trying to pass them off as black people.

But after they rested in the Monster Factory for a while, their skin color quickly returned, and even the sawed-off tusks grew back to half an inch long.

The recovery ability of the Monster Factory was too powerful, which made Ye Qing happy to exploit these monsters but also frustrated that his carefully thought-out disguise had lost its effect.

Now, he could only focus on leveling up and upgrading the Monster Factory to level three to see what solutions it would offer.

The first upgrade requirement was to recruit ten Strong Laborers.

For the current upgrade from level two to level three, the conditions were divided into two steps. The first step was to complete the manufacturing of a blueprint.

The second step was not yet revealed and would only be known after the first condition was met.

Manufacturing the blueprint into a physical product wasn't difficult and could be completed in three days.

By the way, the previous owner of the shipyard mentioned that there was a natural cave at the base of the cliff connected to the sea, which was warm in winter and cool in summer, with a considerable area.

Ye Qing decided to check it out. A natural cave...

If it was dry enough, it could be transformed into his secret base.

Although Ye Qing didn't engage in illegal activities, every boy had a secret base fantasy.

Rolling up his pants, Ye Qing stepped on the rocks and approached the sea, looking toward the western cliff.

It was high tide, and the waves were large. After searching for a long time, Ye Qing finally found a small cave entrance close to the sea surface behind a protruding rock.

What a hidden cave! The huge rock in front perfectly concealed the entrance. If Ye Qing hadn't known its location, he wouldn't have found it.

However, with the tide, the waves were surging, making it very difficult to climb over. The cave was also dark, which made Ye Qing nervous.

Slapping his forehead, Ye Qing quickly took out the Monster Factory and summoned his Lord's War Vehicle.

This vehicle was amphibious and had self-propelled tracks, making it perfect for cave exploration.

The streamlined and elegant shell of the Lord's War Vehicle, combined with its powerful self-propelled tracks, allowed it to move smoothly over the rocks. The two mechanical arms could also help it overcome high obstacles.

The cave entrance was only about 1.5 meters high. After entering, Ye Qing turned on the searchlight and rotated the camera to scan the cave.

It was a very ordinary natural cave, with a bare stone ceiling, a space about 8 meters high, and an area of nearly 300 square meters. There were no stalactites or amethyst mines.

Of course, the cave had many advantages: it was spacious, dry, and didn't have the seepage common in many stalactite caves, where visitors would need to wear raincoats.

Controlling the Lord's War Vehicle to explore, Ye Qing suddenly noticed a pool of water at the back of the cave from the clear image on the screen.

How could there be a pool of water in such a dry environment?

Curious, Ye Qing controlled the Lord's War Vehicle to approach, and suddenly a splash of water erupted from the pool.

The sudden splash startled Ye Qing, making his hair stand on end, and he almost dropped the Monster Factory phone.

"What the hell is that?" As Ye Qing was about to command Niu Yi and Niu Er to go in and catch the ghost, a large black rockfish leaped out of the pool, splashing water.

This black rockfish weighed over ten pounds. It was a mystery how it had survived in a pool the size of a car.

This was impossible; there was no food supply in the pool.

The only scientific explanation was that the pool was connected to the sea, and the black rockfish had accidentally entered the underground cave.

Black rockfish were common along the coast, and a wild one weighing over ten pounds was worth some money, but Ye Qing didn't want to eat it.

The fish looked unhealthy; its normally black skin was now reddish with white spots.

Over a decade ago, the water quality at Longxi Beach was excellent, and the shore was full of seafood and fish. Many fishermen collected oysters here.

Later, the water quality gradually deteriorated, and the oysters disappeared, driving away the fishermen and leading to the shipyard's bankruptcy, which allowed Ye Qing to get a good deal.

This unfortunate black rockfish had clearly suffered from the pollution, almost becoming unrecognizable.

Controlling the Lord's War Vehicle to dive into the pool, Ye Qing found a dark tunnel at the bottom, extending toward the sea.

Ye Qing activated the underwater propulsion mode of the Lord's War Vehicle and controlled it to move through the tunnel.

The underwater tunnel was long and spacious, with the bottom covered in shellfish remains, including many abalone shells.

Ye Qing even found several abalone shells as large as sea bowls. If the water hadn't been polluted, he could have made a lot of money by controlling the Lord's War Vehicle to catch abalones.

After controlling the Lord's War Vehicle to move for about ten minutes, Ye Qing finally completed the exploration of the underwater tunnel.

According to the data on his phone, the Lord's War Vehicle was now about five kilometers away from Ye Qing's location.

The cave exit was on an underwater slope. Ye Qing controlled the Lord's War Vehicle to emerge, but the water visibility was very poor.

Rotating the camera, Ye Qing planned to have the Lord's War Vehicle search for any interesting underwater scenery nearby.

Not far from the cave entrance, a metal pipe covered in shellfish remains and mud extended straight toward the land.

At the end of the pipe, a rusty outlet lay on the underwater slope, continuously spewing out dark green sewage.
