```Boom!
Accompanied by a deafening explosion, massive chunks of mountain rock collapsed.
The dust had not yet cleared when a large group of laborers swarmed up, some pulling at the rubble, others binding thick ropes around large boulders, much like industrious ants.
A mile away, the previously Great Qin-owned Solid Gold Pass was teeming with people, various calling-out sounds overlapping one another, presenting a scene of bustling activity.
Now, this key strategic pass had become a massive construction site.
Wang Chen, who took charge of and planned this construction project, occupied Solid Gold Pass with his troops and immediately issued a conscription order, recruiting two hundred thousand able-bodied men to rebuild this fortress.
Since Solid Gold Pass's original defensive orientation was to the east, and now it belonged to Great Zhou, it naturally required a change in direction.
Wang Chen intended to transform it into Great Zhou's bridgehead for plundering Great Qin.
