Industrial Cthulhu, starting from the island lord

Chapter 186 The World's Largest Noisier

Chloe seemed to have discovered something and stared at a spot in the crowd: "Someone is causing trouble over there."

"It's under control."

"My men have taken that man away."

Zeus had just opened the mind link and wanted to sound the alarm when he received feedback from the Banshee and Chloe at the same time.

Zeus looked over there and saw several people in ordinary clothes quietly moving away from the crowd. At first glance, Zeus felt that they looked vaguely familiar. They were the people from the Fire Moth.

The Banshee was hiding on the roof of a newly built church nearby, using her vision to control the overall situation.
"Aren't your men supposed to be in observation mode and unable to move?"

"With such a small area, one person can monitor it all. And because he has unfolded his [Cocoon], the nearby nymphs can communicate directly with each other through their consciousness. Although we are not good at direct combat, that is against extraordinary people. It is still very easy for ordinary people."

Chloe seemed to be afraid that Zeus would not believe her, so she picked up a branch from the ground and grabbed it lightly, leaving several fingerprints on it.

When one person unleashes this ability, people nearby can communicate freely. Why does this ability feel so similar to WIFI?
To be more precise, a local area network was opened. This ability is really suitable for infiltration. Now that I think about it, the abilities of nymphs all seem to be very suitable for spying. It was the right choice to let Isaac develop the intelligence network. I don't know how he is doing now.

"Well, after some interrogation, it seems that he wanted to stir up trouble because of friction with his coworkers and because he drank too much. It was not targeting the Banshee." Chloe's eyes lit up and she whispered to Zeus.

"Okay, lock him up first and deal with him after this is over."

Hughes let out a sigh.

So far, everything seems to be going smoothly overall. The Banshees' first appearance did not encounter any major obstacles. Firstly, the islanders have long known about the existence of the Banshees, and Zeus's publicity machine has done a lot of preheating in advance, and the public has a very high degree of favorability towards the Banshees.

The second point is that these onlookers were actually screened by Xiu Si.

These people were all workers. Xiu Si gave them a special holiday and brought all the others here except for the necessary ones. Although he did not investigate each one of them one by one, the workers who were able to join the factory had already been screened.

Literacy, basic scientific literacy, compliance with rules and regulations, and the ability to accept new things such as machines. Even though he is just an ordinary worker, he must meet all these conditions at the same time. This is why Hughes spent so much effort to promote education in Castres.

And now it seems that this group of workers he deliberately trained has a very good acceptance of the Banshee. Well, even a little too much. The patrol team led by Erwin has stopped several groups of fanatical Banshee worshippers.

Speaking of which, Zeus was a little amused and helpless. The popularity of the banshees was beyond imagination, especially Nini. The statue standing at the school gate had won her a large number of fans. Her strong personal strength and the mystery brought by the alien race made many people worship the banshees almost blindly.

If Zeus had not popularized basic education and basic scientific concepts among the islanders, the banshees would probably have started a cult with just a wave of their hands.

This momentum was suppressed by Hughes. Fanatical worship was not a good thing. If the banshees wanted to get along with the islanders on an equal footing, they had to curb this trend. After adding physical pollution to the furnace, the banshees closed the furnace door and nodded to the stoker. Instead of leaving, they joined the crowd of onlookers. Hughes reserved a clearing specifically for the banshees.

As the banshees approached, there was some commotion among the crowd. After all, they were too tall. Even when they were just walking, they looked like cavalrymen riding tall horses. The sense of oppression was innate.

Zeus arranged a lot of people among the crowd here to prevent panic. When the riot just started to subside, someone in the crowd immediately came forward to calm and control it. In addition, the banshees did not take any other actions, so the riot quickly subsided.

Only then did Zeus let out a long sigh.

This is actually the most dangerous step. The dense crowd and the tall banshees can easily cause a stampede if not handled properly. What is even more dangerous is group panic.

Camp bombing accidents are common in trained armies, but those on the scene were all ordinary people, and it was their first close encounter with the Banshee, so everyone was sweating.

Fortunately, everything went well.

The onlookers looked at the banshees not far away and talked in low voices. Although there was still a trace of fear in their eyes, there was more curiosity and friendliness. The initial part was the most difficult. Now that they could accept the appearance of the banshees in front of them, it would be much easier to get along with them in the future.

The discussion in the crowd did not last long. With an order coming from the deep pit, all the students completed the final inspection and evacuated from the deep pit. The ignition ceremony was about to begin.

After the previous little episode, people's attention was once again focused on the huge steel behemoth at the bottom of the pit. This time, whether they were humans or banshees, ordinary people or extraordinary people, they all looked intently at the central furnace in the deep pit. This was the common effort of everyone, and everyone contributed to it.

"Prepare for ignition!" Chloe shouted. She was responsible for the design and construction of the central furnace, and she was responsible for the specific execution of the ignition operation.

As her voice fell, the operator in the distance began to turn the valve.

"The pressure regulator is locked at 180 pounds!" The worker supervising the operation glanced at the pressure gauge. On the black, white dial, the needle was vibrating violently in the green safety zone. "The condensate return valve is open three and a quarter turns!"

After a series of notifications, the engineer at the valve finally responded: "Everything is normal, you can ignite!"

Chloe's eyes lit up and she raised her voice and shouted, "Ignite!"

The operator grasped the lever with trembling hands and then pressed it down hard. The moment the red flames rushed into the furnace along the spiral fuse, twelve ring-shaped nozzles spit out blue-purple tongues of fire at the same time.

Deep in the pit, the boiler slowly began its clamorous song, noisily celebrating its arrival into the world. Twelve pressure relief valves simultaneously erupted with whistle-like hisses, and red-golden flames gushed out from the observation holes, casting shadows of steel frames like giant ribs on the pit wall. The exclamations of the onlookers were swallowed up by the roar.

The largest [Noisier] in Castel's history began its endless roar.
