Chapter 1198:Fire of Civilization

The actual test flight lasting for nearly a week can be described as a key step from scratch to the point of the Academy, and the training of the preparatory trainees is finally on track, but its impact is far from limited to the college.

In fact, the day was noticed about the "huge kite" hovering over the South City - although Tiley occasionally flew the Unicorn through the Lord's Castle, most of the time he was tested in no-man's land, and the people's natural awe of the castle area made the vast majority of people only heard of the existence of the plane and did not witness it.

The empty knight academy did not have this concern, curious people have to go to the South District, around the two sides of the road, waiting for the plane to rush out of the courtyard wall of the moment.At first, it was limited to the residents near the shoal port and the factory area, but with the rapid spread of the news, by the third day, the college was surrounded by a group of "melon-eating people".Whenever a plane appears in everyone's vision, the crowd will burst out with warm calls and amazement, as if it is their own way that rushes to the blue sky.

Honey is to see the timing, with the title of "Miracle Reproduction", with a large layout reported the assessment test in the college, and attached a clear recent photo of the biplane, instantly let the "gray Fort Weekly" sales rushed to a new peak.

Even in the winter city also set off a wave of acquisition - may be aware of the business opportunities contained in it, when the weekly newspaper sales, many foreign businessmen began to sell high prices from the hands of the people to buy newspapers, the lack of funds to ask people to copy, even the aircraft photos are hand-drawn, a moment to attract the market paper expensive.

Under this storm, the name of the empty knight finally spread throughout the winter city.

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

A total of one hundred and fifty of the 197 preparatory students passed the audit, which means that a total of 47 crashes occurred during the entire assessment period.Considering that the first test aircraft was only four, it was equivalent to an average of more than 11 falls per aircraft.

It may sound incredible, but Roland knew in his heart that the structure of the planes was simple and lightweight, and that as long as they did not hurt the engine, they would soon be completely repaired.Coupled with most of the crash occurred in the landing stage, either the speed is too slow on the runway, or the speed is too fast to break the landing wheel, relying on the abdominal friction to stop, such damage in the biplane era is common, to drag back to repair and repair is a good machine.

Of course, the patched aircraft is always as good as when it left the factory, and Tiley also mentioned that the status of the two aircraft that can fly at present has dropped significantly, and it is difficult to meet the training requirements, in order to ensure the quality of teaching, the college urgently needs a new batch of biplanes.In addition, due to the improvement of training content and the expansion of subsequent personnel, four aircraft have been unable to meet the requirements.In terms of comprehensive training efficiency and actual needs, at least 12 to 15 more must be provided.

This is also the number of flying squadrons in the future.

Roland found that no matter where he looked at the report, there was a word in the line between the lines: "I, the Air Force, pay.""

After putting down the report, he shook his head in a smile, saying that Tilly did have talent in this regard, and just saw the nature of the Air Force in the initial stage.In fact, it is indispensable to form a qualified flying force, both with a large population to be screened and enough to be used for falling.

Nowadays, all industries in Winterfell are in urgent need of manpower, and a large team of aircraft is obviously unable to achieve it in the short term, which can only make Anna slowly.

In addition to Tilly, the General Counselor also submitted an observation report, written by Edith Kant.

The report is very short, but meaningful.

Northern Pearl believes that if used properly, the empty knights will have the potential to change the situation of future wars, and even become a decisive force in the left and right.She hopes to set up a research group from the General Counsel's Office to understand the performance of this new weapon in the Academy so that it can be used in later plans.At the same time, she also conceived some of the only empty knights can do the war, want to have a separate detailed discussion with Roland, its can not wait for the mood can be described on the paper.

It is probably that Edith is the average person who is most concerned about the aircraft in the high-level of Winterfell - the application of war can be associated with the moment of mass production ability, not to mention the feasibility of the scheme, this sharpness is really impressive.

Just as Roland was about to call the Pearl of the North to speak of her views on the empty knight, a garrison voice came from outside the office, "Your Majesty, the Minister of Construction, Carl Fambert, asked to see him."

He held the phone and took it back, "Let him come in."

“Yes.”

"Sire," Karl said respectfully as he entered the office, "your Miracle Building is successfully completed."

...

Standing under the skirt tower looking up at the main body, Roland really felt the charm of the word spectacle.

It took nearly two years before and after, tens of thousands of golden dragons, enough to build three red water bridges of steel, and concrete that can be piled into hills, so that the building was finally completed.If it were not for the help of witches such as lotus and hummingbirds, it would have consumed several times more manpower and resources.

The spectacle is not more than a joke, but in the same way, the shock it brings to the winterless people when it is built is absolutely incomparable – as can be seen from the people who come from all over to watch the completion ceremony.

The so-called gap is clearer than that.Compared with the surrounding two to three floors of residential areas, the miracle building with 15 floors of 56 meters is almost a unique one.Even if you are used to Roland, who is used to high-rise buildings, his heart can't help but rise a surging meaning.

As a new landmark of Winterfell, it is not a simple and useless face project, but a combination of the peak of various new technologies.For example, the problem of water supply and drainage, Karl used the method of setting up multi-level water tanks in the floor to solve the problem of too high difference and not being able to pump water.

In addition, there are also four external "elevators" in the four corners of the main building, which are driven 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 intelligent as the modern elevator, it must be arranged to control the operation, and it is impossible to stop every floor, but it is still a breathtaking design for this era.In particular, the lifting ladder uses a large amount of floor-to-ceiling glass, which can also overlook the beautiful scenery of the city at the same time, which is completely a pleasure.

"Sire, say two words," said Karl, after ascending the podium, "your people are waiting for your appearance."

Roland nodded and went to the edge of the fence to wave at the dense crowd below.

The crowd immediately cheered.

"Good afternoon, people of Winterfell."

“Today is the day when the Miracle Building was built, it has created the most of countless worlds, and history will remember this day – but what I want to say here is not how great its meaning is, but the question you are most concerned about, who will live it?Or... for whom it was built?”

“The nobles?No, the Grey Fort has abolished the power of the secession of the nobles; the royal family?Of course not, I don’t need such a big place to put me in bed.The answer is simple: the residents of Winterfell-free City—all of you.”

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

"Each room will be marked in the Executive Office, no privileges, no need for family life, as long as you bring a resident ID card, you can apply for purchase, to live in this building destined to be recorded in the annals of history!"

As soon as the sound came, there was a deafening cry in the crowd.

“Long live your majesty!”

Long live the winter!

When the sound was accreted, Roland continued to say, "Now, I will light the torch on the roof, and in the future, whenever the night falls, it will be ignited and become the brightest star in the winter!"

In the crowd's call for the mountains and seas, he took the town hall and a group of people into the "elevator" and climbed to the roof of the main building.

In the middle of the roof is a huge stone basin, the middle is full of dark oil - this sticky heavy oil after special treatment, not only can burn for a long time, but also does not emit foul odor and soot, is the most suitable fuel for the long flame.

"Sad," the Nightingress handed over a torch.

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

It was as if the gentle music sounded in his mind, and the familiar lines—

“From the budding of the first life underwater... you have experienced a lot...”

He raised his mouth and lowered the torch.

If this is the light of human civilization, then I hope it will never be extinguished.
