Chapter 21 Chapter 9 Disaster

The power outage of the hydropower station did not last long.At first, Gary.Kiliel thought he was taking wise steps, but he himself became the first victim.It is true that there is no electricity in the factory, but neither does he himself.Farm machinery stopped working, as did the electric water pumps that raised the river to the two cisterns (one in the factory and the other above the Black Guard barracks), especially at night when the city was in total darkness, and The factory was illuminated by bright searchlights.This makes Gary.Kiliel was very annoyed. Seeing that this move was no match for Kamare, the Demon King had no choice but to restore the power supply on April 10th.He called Camare, and the engineer's guests heard the same conversation as before.Camare said on the phone, a few yes, no, yes, then laughed and put the receiver down.

He said Gary.Kiliel suggests negotiating.An agreement has been reached between them: Gary.Power was restored to Kiriel, and the factory provided daily service supplies throughout the city.However, this agreement cannot change the general situation.There's still war to be done, Gary.Kiriel still insisted that he hand over the captive, which he flatly refused. Finally, Gary.Kiriel begged the engineer to supply some liquid gas to his craft, for he had none left, and all his forty craft stood still. Marcel.Unwilling to expend his own stocks to arm the enemy, Camare decided to refuse.This makes Gary.Kiriel became so enraged that he vowed to starve everyone in the factory to death.At this point, the engineer hung up the handset and laughed off the threat.His audience, however, felt the situation was quite serious.The factory has a self-defense device invented by Camare, which is difficult to break through.But it doesn't have much offensive power, and Kamare is reluctant to use his full combat power.In this case, Gary.Kiriel's offensive would continue indefinitely, at which point starvation might cause the workers to surrender.

Balsac told his thoughts to Camare, who shrugged and said convincingly: We have enough food reserves. How long can it be supplied?asked Balsac. I am not very sure.Fifteen days, maybe three weeks, but it wasn't a big deal at all.Because we are building a flying machine and it will be done in forty-eight hours.I invite you to come and see the experiment in the middle of the night on April 12th, so as not to let the palace see it. This is sudden, welcome news.Aircraft will change the situation of these people to a large extent.But can it save them all? There are a hundred workers in the factory, Balsac said, and your flying machine cannot transport them all.

Can carry ten people.Camare replied that it wasn't bad anymore.It's three hundred and fifty kilometers from here to Sayy.Seven hundred kilometers to Timbuktu.In order to avoid aerial torpedoes, the aircraft can only fly at night.It makes three trips to Shay in one night, or two to Timbuktu.Counting women and children together, there are 150 workers in the factory.If you fly to Shayi, it only takes five days and nights.If you fly to Timbuktu, it only takes eight days and nights.In this way, we can all be saved. This very realistic plan, greatly eased due to Gary.The terror caused by Kiriel's threat.So everyone waited impatiently for the realization of the plan.

Two days seemed endless to them.To pass the time they often went for a walk in the garden under the cover of the high wall.On April 10th and 11th, they were sent off one by one in an hour. A minor incident disrupted the monotony of the next day.Around 5 p.m., Kamare told everyone that the pumps that supplied water to the factory's storage tanks had stopped working.The engineer ordered an overhaul.The work is not difficult and can be completed in about two days. On the morning of the third day, the anxious waiting was finally over.Everyone didn't want to miss the opportunity to visit, and they gathered in the garden at dawn.By this time the workers had placed the aircraft there.

The engineer climbed onto the bridge and started the motor.Fearing that the experiment would fail, the audience spent several minutes anxiously.However, they immediately felt relieved. The aircraft lifted up effortlessly, spread its wings, turned a few times in the air, and flew back to the original place.Marcel.Kamare asked ten people to sit inside, and the aircraft took off again, circling three times over the garden.The test was successful. Today, at nine o'clock in the evening, the first group sets off!Kamare announced, stepping out of the cab. So the siege, the pangs of being a prisoner, and the terror of the past few days were all forgotten.In a few hours, the nightmare will be over!You will be free soon!Everyone warmly congratulates each other.Mechanics took the aircraft to the hangar for its flight to Timbuktu at night.

Factory work continues as usual.On the twelfth, the water pump was dismantled.But there was nothing broken about it, so it had to be reassembled, and at half past eight in the evening, when it was already dark, Camare gave the signal for takeoff.A long time before that, eight captives and two female workers were already waiting in the garden, where the aircraft was about to take off.Under the instructions of the engineer, twelve mechanics walked towards the hangar and opened the door At this moment, there was a sudden loud noise, and the hangar fell down like a building made of blocks.In its original place all that remains is a pile of rubble.

Everyone stood motionless for a full minute, then came to their senses and went at once to help the mechanic.Fortunately, only one person was slightly injured, and the rest were fine.Because they haven't entered the hangar yet. Although no one died and no one wept, the great misfortune and irreparable loss took everyone's breath away.The aircraft has been blown to pieces and scattered. Rika, Kamare said calmly.He was so calm even in the worst of the situation, the pieces should be picked up and the cause found. There are plenty of hands and the work moves quickly.By eleven o'clock the site of the explosion had been cleared, revealing a deep crater.

This was blasted with Dinamet [note].Kamare calmly explained, but it can't fly by itself? 【Note】Dynamite glycerin explosive. There was a lot of blood on the fragments of the explosives, indicating that someone had been killed.Cleanup work continues.Soon, ominous discoveries were made, in the middle of the night, a broken leg was found, then a mutilated hand, and finally, a head. Amijay.Floras, who was watching the cleanup carefully like a good reporter, immediately recognized the dead man. Chu Mugeng!he cried. Everything is clear: Chu Mugeng was the perpetrator and the first victim of the bombing incident.The remaining problem is to know how he got into the factory. The way he got in can also be used by others. We must dispel the idea of ​​the enemy and show them some strength.So according to Kamare's order, the pieces of Chumgeng's body were thrown from the wall to the square over there for the purpose of making Gary.Look at the people of Kiriel, stealing into factories is no fun.At the same time, the investigation work is still going on.

Lo and behold, another one!Suddenly a worker yelled. Camare came and saw a human leg among the stones.Soon, the entire torso was also exposed.It was a middle-aged Caucasian man with a blasted shoulder.Dr. Sadoley leaned over for a look. he is alive!said the doctor. The man was carried to Camare's residence where doctors bandaged his wounds.Plan to interrogate tomorrow morning, as long as he can speak. The cleanup was over and the workers went to rest.The engineer and his guests also turned back.Amijay.After taking a few steps, Floras stopped and asked Camare: Now there is no aircraft, what should I do!

To build another one, there are plenty of materials. But how long will it take? two months. Um!Floras replied, lost in thought. two months!But they only have fifteen days of rations!
