Michelle asks: <span class="quote speech">And you really expect to find
|
||
|
|
one here that isn't beyond repair?</span><br />
|
||
|
|
They are walking into a valley in a large forested area.<br />
|
||
|
|
Jack replies: <span class="quote speech">I'm not even sure this is
|
||
|
|
the right place. Everything looks so different. But if it is, we'll
|
||
|
|
have plenty to choose from. Not optimistic about any of the hydraulic
|
||
|
|
excavators but we had some older cable-driven diggers
|
||
|
|
<span class="comment">right word?</span> on site that we might get
|
||
|
|
working.</span><br />
|
||
|
|
<span class="comment">research that needs to be done:
|
||
|
|
When were hydraulic excavators invented?
|
||
|
|
When did they get the ability to use a jackhammer attachment?
|
||
|
|
When did the cable-driven ones go out of fashion?</span><br />

James says: <span class="quote speech">Look, over there.</span><br />
|
||
|
|
He gestures towards a group of very rusty and completely overgrown
|
||
|
|
machines and vehicles standing amidst the trees.<br />
|
||
|
|
Jack says: <span class="quote speech">That one to the right is similar to
|
||
|
|
what we're looking for.</span><br />
|
||
|
|
They walk up to the machines.<br />
|
||
|
|
Jack turns to Annie and James, patting the side of the machine he pointed
|
||
|
|
out a moment earlier. It has a sort of arm in the front with a huge scoop
|
||
|
|
thingy on the end.<br />
|
||
|
|
<span class="quote speech">We're looking for something like this but
|
||
|
|
with steel cables going from back here up there and to the boom.</span>
|
||
|
|
<br />
|
||
|
|
James asks: <span class="quote speech">Why not use this one?</span><br />
|
||
|
|
<span class="quote speech">'Cause this thing's done for.
|
||
|
|
Beyond repair, as Michelle put it.</span><br />
|
||
|
|
<span class="quote speech">How can you tell?</span><br />
|
||
|
|
Jack walks to the front and points to some parts on the arm of the
|
||
|
|
machine. <span class="quote speech">These rods used to extend and retract
|
||
|
|
to move the boom. They need to be perfectly smooth and fit together
|
||
|
|
exactly or they'll leak the oil inside.</span><br />
|
||
|
|
They take a quick look at the other machines. There is another, smaller
|
||
|
|
excavator, a <span class="comment">Kipper?</span>, a <span class="comment">
|
||
|
|
Wie heißt diese Maschine mit Förderband, die Material sortiert?
|
||
|
|
</span>, and two <span class="comment">Radlader?</span>.<br />
|
||
|
|
Annie asks: <span class="quote speech">How did all of these get
|
||
|
|
inbetween the trees?</span><br />
|
||
|
|
<span class="quote speech">The trees weren't here when they were
|
||
|
|
used. This is why I had such a hard time finding this place.</span><br />
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Annie asks: <span class="quote speech">Is this how the dome was dug
|
||
|
|
out?</span><br />
|
||
|
|
<span class="quote speech">Well... no. That was mostly done using
|
||
|
|
explosives. But we had a large fleet of machines for all sorts of
|
||
|
|
tasks.</span><br />
