I Am Not The God Of Drama Chapter 1466

Akashic Tower

“Akashic Tower.”

As the worker responded, a trace of confusion flashed through Chen Ling’s eyes.

“Akashic Tower… what is it?”

“…We don’t know either. It’s a blueprint drawn by the Lord of Spirit Void himself.” The worker paused for a moment. In his gaze looking towards that unfinished high tower, a trace of complex emotion flashed. There was helplessness, expectation, and even a trace of… piety.

Like a believer looking up at the Divine Being they believe in.

“But the Lord of Spirit Void said that it will guide all of humanity towards a bright future.” The worker spoke solemnly, “As long as this tower is built, we can find a way to destroy the Red Star. We will never have to worry about various natural disasters and man-made calamities again, and we can live on steadily…”

Chen Ling saw his expression, and subsequently asked:

“But to build a tower, does it require this many people?”

The worker didn’t seem to plan on revealing much more, casually pointing at the areas nearby:

“That’s the Cafeteria, that’s the bathhouse, that’s the dormitory… Oh, right now there should be over a hundred thousand people in this construction site, working in three shifts. While people are working late at night right now, the other two shifts are sleeping and eating… Probably in about another three hours, it’ll be time for the next batch of people to shift.”

“That area on the left is the processing area for raw building materials. The processing is divided into three procedures in total. Only materials that meet the quality requirements can be used to pile up the high tower.”

“We have been working for half a month already, but the construction progress of the high tower has barely reached one-fifth. Building the Akashic Tower is quite troublesome… The main reason is that it drains people.”

“And over there…”

While the worker was casually introducing, Chen Ling was just preparing to ask more, when numerous figures carrying seven or eight stretchers hurriedly rushed over from the front. They rampaged closer towards the dedicated medical area. If Chen Ling’s reaction hadn’t been fast, he probably would have been crashed into fully.

“This is the emergency route! Who told you to block the way!” The figure carrying the stretcher at the very front glared fiercely at Chen Ling, and then continued running wildly forward without looking back.

Chen Ling looked down, only to realize that lines of different colors were pasted on the ground, like a subway map from before the Great Cataclysm. People from different departments could only walk along specific trajectories without crossing paths with each other, perfectly preventing situations where movement was blocked due to excessive human traffic, directly pulling the personnel dispatch efficiency of the entire area to the maximum…

And it was exactly because of this that tens of thousands of people were busy simultaneously in this construction site, yet it didn’t seem crowded and chaotic in the slightest.

Is this the overall planning capability of a mathematician?

“What happened to those people?” Chen Ling pointed at the figures with pale faces on the stretchers and asked.

The worker didn’t answer. He took large strides to the building where those few people had just been carried out from, grabbed a figure who seemed to be the person in charge, and asked:

“How’s the qualification rate tonight?”

“Still no good… Over forty people, five hours, and only made seven qualified bricks… Among them, six were made by Divine Path Possessors.” The person in charge shook his head. “Those Ordinary Persons, eight of them fainted in one breath. I estimate they’ll need to rest for at least 12 hours before they can return to the production line.”

The worker’s expression was incredibly ugly. “No good… At this speed, we simply can’t complete the Lord of Spirit Void’s quota.”

“Then what should we do? Over a hundred thousand people in three shifts, the efficiency has already reached the limit!”

Just as the two were talking, Chen Ling’s gaze glanced at the area inside the building. This was like a super factory. Countless figures were sitting in the massive space, lowering their heads and busy with something. Because there was no electric lighting, a Kerosene Lamp was placed on everyone’s table. The dim light flickered, and an oppressive and depressing atmosphere spread within it.

Secret Pupil climbed onto Chen Ling’s eyes. With the blessing of his extremely strong vision, he saw clearly what these people were busy with in their hands…

Bricks.

Or rather, bricks that were in the process of being processed.

It was unknown what firing method was used for these bricks, but their surfaces were actually glowing with a faint blue light. And at this time, these figures widened their eyes, carefully drawing something on the surface of the bricks.

Someone finally managed to finish drawing and placed the brick by the side of the table. Soon, a supervisor walked over, picked up the brick, looked at it carefully for a few glances, and then shook his head. He pulled out a hammer on the spot and smashed the brick to pieces… In the next second, a new brick was delivered in front of him.

That worker seemed about to break down. He held the broken brick and questioned something, but the supervisor still shook his head indifferently. After saying a few words, he left without looking back.

Similar scenes were playing out in this super factory at all times. And at the very front of the factory, a few supervisors were carefully packing up a few bricks and sending them out of the factory…

The fingertips under Chen Ling’s cuffs moved, and in the next second, something landed on his palm.

No one around noticed any abnormalities.

After the two finished communicating, the worker finally led Chen Ling away.

Chen Ling asked again:

“What’s going on with those people?”

“What else could it be? They exhausted too much mental effort and fainted.” The worker waved his hand. “Alright, you’ve taken the tour. Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask… Hurry up and leave, if you don’t leave I’m going to call the security team.”

Chen Ling then realized that there was far more than one factory like this. A steady stream of bricks was sent out from these factories. After being uniformly processed in one place, they were then delivered under that high tower under construction…

And then, in the hands of the numerous busy workers, they were carefully laid into the high tower, built upwards bit by bit.

Although Chen Ling didn’t understand construction much, he understood general common sense. Wanting to build a high tower purely using bricks wasn’t an easy task. Before the Great Cataclysm, the vast majority of high towers either used steel structures or used reinforced concrete to lay a solid foundation. But the current Human Domains obviously didn’t possess that kind of technology…

This high tower built by piling up bricks and stones, the higher it went, the more difficult it was to construct. One had to be careful at all times. Once any mistake occurred, all the previous efforts of the entire tower would be wasted.

Chen Ling didn’t waste any more time with this worker.

He left the factory area directly. The brown overcoat passed through the dim streets.

It was already late at night. The lanterns on both sides of the street had already been extinguished, and the entire city was shrouded in darkness. Only that high tower under construction in the distance was still brightly lit.

Chen Ling slowly took out the object in his cuff.

It was a brick.

He faced the brick towards the light of the high tower. With the help of the faint light, he could vaguely see the Markings on it clearly… Perfect function lines that seemed like they were taken straight out of a Cartesian coordinate system wandered on it.

Chen Ling looked carefully for a long time, only recognizing one line that seemed to be a Fibonacci sequence. He couldn’t even understand the other function graphs. This brick in his hand was more like a puzzle piece. Its top, bottom, left, and right all seemed like they should be connected with other bricks. Only in this way could those function graphs be pieced together completely… This was a perfect piece of art outlined by a massive number of function lines.

It was hard for Chen Ling to believe that something extremely meticulous like this was actually rubbed out by human hands…

“Is this the reason why you are conscripting manpower on a large scale…”

Chen Ling looked at the brick in his hand, his eyes narrowing slightly,

“Just what… do you want to do?”
