Chapter 1197 The Fire of Civilization

8days ago Xuanhuan Novels 9
The actual aircraft test flight that lasted for nearly a week can be said to have brought the Air Knight Academy to a critical step from scratch, and the training of the students has finally gotten on track, but its impact is far beyond the academy.

In fact, someone noticed the huge kite hovering over the South City area that day. Although Tilly occasionally drove the Unicorn to pass by the Lord's Castle, she would mostly choose to test it in the unmanned area. Coupled with the people's natural awe of the castle area, most of the people had only heard of the existence of the plane, but had not witnessed it with their own eyes.

If it were the Air Knight Academy, there would be no concerns about this. Curious people headed to the South District, surrounding both sides of the road, waiting for the moment when the plane rushed out of the courtyard wall.

At first, it was limited to residents near Shoal Harbor and the factory area, but as the news spread quickly, by the third day, the college was surrounded by a group of melon-eating people.

Whenever a plane appears in everyone's sight, there will be warm shouts and exclamations in the crowd, as if it was me who rushed into the blue sky.

Honey even looked at the right time, and used a large-scale page to report on the ongoing assessment and tests in the college, and attached a clear and recent photos of the biplane, which instantly brought the sales of Grayburg Weekly to a new peak.

Even Wudong City launched a wave of acquisitions, perhaps because of realizing the business opportunities contained in it. After the weekly newspaper was sold, many foreign merchants began to buy newspapers from the people at high prices. Those who were insufficient funds asked to pick up the photos, and even the plane photos were hand-painted, which made the market paper expensive.

Under this violent storm, the name of the Sky Knight finally spread throughout Wudong City.

Roland also received a summary report made by Tilly a week later.

Among the 197 preparatory students, a total of 150 passed the review, which means that a total of 47 crashes caused by operating errors occurred during the entire assessment period.

Considering that the first batch of test aircraft had only four, it was equivalent to the average drop of each aircraft more than 11 times.

This may sound incredible, but Roland knew in his heart that these aircraft were simple in structure and light in weight, and as long as the engine was not damaged, they could be completely repaired soon.

In addition, most crashes occur during the landing stage. Either the speed is too slow and the entire shot is on the runway, or the speed is too fast and the landing wheel is broken, and the friction of the abdomen is stopped. Such damage is common in the era of biplane. It is another good aircraft to drag it back and repair it.

Of course, the patched aircraft are not as easy to use as they were when they first left the factory. Tilly also mentioned that the two aircraft that can still fly have been greatly reduced and it is difficult to meet the training requirements. In order to ensure the quality of teaching, the college urgently needs a batch of new biplanes.

In addition, due to the improvement of training content and the expansion of subsequent recruitment, the four aircraft can no longer meet the requirements.

From the perspective of comprehensive training efficiency and actual needs, at least twelve to fifteen aircraft must be provided.

This is also the number of a flight brigade in later generations.

Roland found that no matter whether he looked at the report horizontally and vertically, there was a word between the lines, I, Air Force, money transfer.

After putting down the report, he shook his head laughed and cried. He could only say that Tilly did have this talent and saw through the essence of the Air Force at the beginning.

In fact, if you want to form a qualified flight force, you must have a large population for screening and enough aircraft to fall. Both are indispensable.

Nowadays, all industries in Winter City are in urgent need of manpower. A brigade of aircraft is obviously unable to be realized in the short term, so Anna can only take it slowly.

In addition to Tilly, the General Staff Department also submitted an observation report, and the author was Itis Kant.

The report is very short, but the content is quite interesting.

Northland Pearl believes that as long as it is used properly, the Sky Knight will have the potential to change the situation of future wars and even become the decisive force that will control the outcome.

She hopes to draw a group of people from the General Staff Department to form a research team to enter the college to understand the performance of this new weapon so that it can be used in future plans.

At the same time, she also conceived some tactics that only the Sky Knight could do. She wanted to have a separate detailed discussion with Roland, and her impatient mood was leaping on the paper.

Perhaps Itis is the ordinary person who pays the most attention to aircraft in the high-level buildings of Wudongcheng. When he sees the mass production capacity, he can think of the application in the war. Not to mention how feasible the solution is, this keenness alone is really amazing.

Just as Roland was planning to call Northland Pearl to talk about her views on the Air Knight, the voice of the guard came from outside the office door. His Majesty, Lord Carl Vanbert, Minister of Construction, asked for a visit.

He held the phone and took it back, let him in.

yes.

Your Majesty, Carl greeted respectfully after entering the office, and your Miracle Building was successfully completed.

……

Standing below the podium, looking up at the towering main body, Roland really felt the charm of the word wonder.

It took nearly two years to complete the building, and tens of thousands of golden dragons, enough steel to build three Chishui Bridges and concrete that could pile into hills.

If it weren't for the assistance of witches such as lotus and hummingbirds, it would have consumed several times more manpower and resources.

The wonder of the country is not just a joke, but the shock it brings to Wudong people after it is built is definitely unparalleled. This can be seen from the people who come to watch the completion ceremony from all directions.

The so-called gap is clearer in comparison.

Compared with the surrounding large residential areas of two to three floors, the Miracle Building, which is as high as 56 meters and has 15 floors, can almost be regarded as a unique brand.

Even Roland, who was used to seeing tall buildings, couldn't help but feel a surge in his heart.

As a new landmark of Wu Winter City, it is not a simple and useless face-saving project, but a pinnacle of various new technologies.

For example, when it comes to water supply and drainage, Carl used the method of setting up multi-level water tanks on the floor to solve the problem of too large height difference and not being able to pump water.

In addition, there are four external elevators installed at the four corners of the main building. They are powered by the steam engine in the basement and can carry dozens of people to and from the top floor at a time.

Although it is not as smart as modern elevators, it is necessary to arrange a dedicated person to control the operation, and it is impossible to stop every building, it is still an amazing design for this era.

In particular, the lifting stairs use a large amount of floor-to-ceiling glass, which can also overlook the beautiful city while riding, which is completely a pleasure.

Your Majesty, let me say a few words. After climbing the podium, Carl stroked his chest, your people are waiting for you to appear.

Roland nodded, walked to the fence and waved to the dense crowd below.

The crowd suddenly exhaled warm cheers.

Good afternoon, everyone without Winter City.

Today is the day when the Miracle Building is built. It has created countless worlds. History will remember this day. But what I want to say here is not how great its significance is, but the question you care about the most. Who will live in it?Or... for whom is it built?

noble?No, Graycastle has abolished the power to divide the nobles; royal family?Of course not, I don't need such a big place to put my bed.The answer is actually very simple, that is, the residents of Wu Dongcheng are all you.

It was you who created the Miracle Building, and you can undoubtedly enjoy this miracle!

Each room will be clearly marked in the Executive Hall, without any privileges or family background. Just bring your resident ID card and you can apply for purchase. Stay in this building that is destined to be recorded in history!

As soon as he finished speaking, deafening shouts erupted in the crowd.

Long live your Majesty!

Long live the winter city without it!

After the sound was relieved, Roland continued to whisper loudly. Now, I will light the torch on the rooftop. From now on, whenever night falls, it will ignite and become the most dazzling starlight in the sky in Wuhen!

Amid the crowds of people, he led the town hall and his group into the elevator and climbed to the roof of the main building.

There is a huge stone basin in the center of the roof, and the middle is filled with dark oil. This viscous heavy oil has been specially treated. It can not only burn for a long time, but also does not emit foul odor and smoke. It is regarded as the most suitable fuel for the Changming Torch.

Your Majesty, the Nightingale handed over a torch.

Roland nodded, took the torch, and slowly walked towards the stone basin.

It seemed that the gentle music and familiar lines sounded in his mind

Starting from the Cute bud of the first life underwater…you have experienced many…

He raised the corner of his mouth and lowered the torch.

If this is the fire of the continuation of human civilization, then hope it will never go out.
