Chapter 1197: Contracting Fort's Project

The latest website: The first batch of alliance teams to support Tarrond will continue to perform a year-long rotation mission on the northern continent until the next batch of reinforcement troops are handed over to them, but before that, they will be responsible for escorting As well as the military personnel of the previous handover work, they have completed their tasks and returned today to Beigang, which is located on the northern border of the Cecil Empire. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

Since the human kingdoms lost the shelter of the Church of Storms seven hundred years ago and were blocked on this continent by the endless sea, mortal ships finally challenged this endless sea once again. They crossed the cold ice ocean , After visiting a continent far beyond the boundaries of human civilization, he returned safely. This feat will definitely be recorded in the annals of history.

"I've been following His Majesty all these years, and I've really encountered such things that will go down in history." Standing on the edge of the upper deck, Byron couldn't help shaking his head, "I'm a little bit looking forward to my name appearing in the school. What kind of scene is it in my textbook..."

"Don't worry, when the time comes, the history students will definitely see you scolding you again and again," the adjutant's voice came from the side, and the imperial soldier in navy uniform had a happy smile on his face, "because they have to You spent days in the wastes of Tarrond blowing sea breezes reciting it in full—and a whole host of historical events in which you took part elsewhere."

Byron turned his head and glanced at the guy who had followed him from the southern border to the present, and raised his eyebrows: "Stand at attention! Turn back!"

The adjutant subconsciously stood up straight and turned back, and Byron immediately kicked the guy's ass: "If you have the time to talk nonsense, don't hurry up and go to the landing handover!!"

The adjutant twisted his body, allowing Byron's toes to rub against the edge of his uniform, and then shouted "Yes, sir" and ran down the deck jokingly. Byron pouted indifferently, retracted his legs and looked up at The sky——The red armored dragon hovering at high altitude has gradually lowered its altitude, and the whistling sound of its giant wings cutting through the air entered the ears of the crew of the Cold Winter. After a series of deceleration and aiming, she It finally descended towards the upper deck of the battleship, and let out a low growl when it was tens of meters away from the ship, and its whole body was shrouded in a layer of changing brilliance.

Accompanied by a loud bang, the red-haired dragon-marked witch emerged from the brilliance and landed straight on the deck not far behind Byron, knelt down on one knee and slowly Standing up slowly, the heat generated by the aftermath of magic power diffused from her side, and Azarena's tall and slightly wild silhouette was outlined in the slightly distorted heat curtain.

Byron frowned and watched the scene not far away, and finally couldn't help muttering after Azalena got up: "Can you jump a little closer next time you land? Mi just jumped down..."

"Are you underestimating the physical fitness of the dragonborn?" Azalena waved her hands indifferently as she walked out of the hot screen,

"Even an extraordinary knight like you won't be injured at this height, let alone me. I jumped from a higher place when I was young."

"No, I mean don't smash my deck," Byron looked worriedly at the place where Azalena landed just now, "Do you know how much it will cost to repair once a hole is made, and more Don't mention that I have to write a report when I go back..."

Azarena: "..."

"What do you mean by that look in your eyes?" Byron looked at Azalena, inexplicably feeling a trace of pressure from the other person's eyes, "I didn't ask you to spend this money--mainly because I didn't want to write a report to explain what happened on the deck. Why is there a footprint..."

"There is a reason why you haven't been married for so many years." The Dragon Seal Witch rolled her eyes slightly, waved her hands and walked towards the ladder on the edge of the deck, "It's not entirely because you are rough and don't shave. "

Byron was stunned for a moment, and then saw that the red-haired dragonborn lady had passed him and walked to the edge of the deck. He finally came to his senses, and immediately walked over there, shouting dissatisfiedly: "You say I have a rough appearance, so I will recognize it." , After all, this is considered an advantage, but you are wrong when you comment on my beard, do you know how much energy I usually spend on grooming these beards... Hey, don't walk so fast, do you know how to go?"

"I can see it clearly from the sky, at least I can see the structure on the deck," Azalena stopped suddenly while talking, and turned her head to look at the middle-aged knight who almost hit her because the brakes were too late. "Instead of discussing this, let's talk about your next arrangement. Do you want to rest here for a while? Or go back to your home in the southern border?"

Byron stopped, and after thinking for a while, he said: "The transfer order from the superior has been issued, and the follow-up arrangements for Beigang and Bitter Winter have already been made. The captain on duty and the second lieutenant will take over the affairs here. I am going to return directly to the southern border."

Asha Lena looked at him: "How do you plan to go back? Take the magic train? Or the 'Cloud Base' transport plane?"

"Uh... it's still a train, it's pretty fast," Byron scratched his hair, "I'm not very interested in flying machines, and to be honest, it's not as comfortable as a spacious train... Why do you ask this? "

"Oh? Are you just 'not interested' in flying machines?" Azalena seemed not to have noticed Byron's last question, she just raised her eyebrows slightly, with a look of interest in her expression, "Then you Do you want to experience a mode of transportation that is more convenient than your existing trains and aircraft?"

Byron didn't realize it at first, and he was still thinking about what could be more convenient than the "Cloud Base" transport plane and the magic train, but soon he noticed the strange smile of the dragonborn lady in front of him and the changed With dark red vertical pupils, he reacted in a jerk and waved his hands again and again: "No, no, I think it's still a more traditional way of transportation..."

"A cutting-edge thing like a magic train can't be considered traditional," Azalena slapped Byron on the shoulder, with the powerful power of the dragonborn, "Relax, 'Captain'—flying experience This kind of thing, the first time is raw, the second time is cooked..."

...

The wind in late autumn is already quite cold, especially in the wilderness of the northern region. This chilly wind blows across the unsheltered plains and the withered vegetation and branches, making it even more chilling. People are clearly aware that the luxuriant summer is long gone, and the bleak autumn and the coming winter are speeding up and approaching this world.

The northern border of the Typhon Empire and the Cecil Empire, the center of the traditional "buffer area" between the two countries, the majestic castle stands on a rocky highland, and the city wall that has not experienced much weather is still as it was just built a few years ago As neat and bright as it was then, the cold wind from the plains whipped up dust and fallen leaves, slapped on the gray-white outer wall of Fort Contracting, and rolled up the three kinds of flags flying above the castle, making them flutter in the wind .

Cecil, Typhon, Alliance, the three flags represent the role of this castle built in the name of "peace" at the moment, and under the flags are the huge engineering convoys, material convoys, technology personnel, logistics troops, and high-level technocrats from the two major human empires.

Windsor Maple stood on the wall of the main gate of the Fort of the Treaty. Her eyes looked at the open field outside the castle. On the land where the representatives of the two countries had walked through in the past, a large number of temporary camps had been erected. The engineering mages of Typhon and the mechanized construction teams from Cecil each showed the highest efficiency. They raised barracks and walls at a competitive speed, and built temporary hardened roads between various facilities. And farther away, you can see that there are two broad roads extending towards east and west respectively, one pointing to Changfeng Fortress and the other pointing to the distant Winter Wolf Castle.

The president of the Royal Mages Association looked back, and almost at the same time, a sound of footsteps appeared on the nearby city wall. She looked up and couldn't help showing a smile on her face.

The old magician in a black robe was walking towards this side slowly, his stooped old body was still steady in the wind, and a young black-haired female magician was following behind the old magician, as if Chicks who follow suit.

"Mentor," Windsor Mapel took the initiative to walk forward, just like at any time in the past, she never considered her current "chairman" status and status as a legendary powerhouse in front of her mentor, "You Why did you go up the city wall yourself?"

"I'm not a weak old man who needs to be well protected in a warm room," the old mage Daniel said lightly, "Your Majesty sent me here to work with you to ensure the progress of the project, not to let me drink in the room every day." Tea and newspapers."

"That's what you said," Windsor Mapel smiled. Although the tone of the instructor was still quite flat when talking to her, it was obvious that this kind of daily conversation was not as indifferent and confrontational as the teacher-student breakup. The state has improved by more than a little bit, and she is quite satisfied with this progress, "Your Majesty attaches great importance to this joint project, and having you here in person will make people feel more at ease."

Daniel waved his hand casually, then raised his head to look at the construction site outside the castle, and asked casually, "How's the progress?"

"All the planned engineering teams have entered the site, including those from Typhon and Cecil. Ninety percent of the technicians are in place, the supplies are sufficient, the roads between the camp and the rear are smooth, and basic communication facilities and living facilities are in place. , storage facilities, etc. have been built,” Windsor nodded, and said in a good mood, “Next, Cecil will build a total of eight large-scale energy stations around the contracting fort, using their most advanced stacked magic nets to To ensure a huge energy supply during the door opening process, the connection between the energy station and the main facility will be carried out simultaneously through the wireless transmission of the magic energy obelisk and the physical transmission of the energy rail to ensure the safety and stability of the energy supply to the greatest extent.

"As for us, the facilities outside the city are generally to provide remote monitoring, and our main project is inside the castle. According to the plan, we will set up the focusing device and restraint ring required to open the door in the main hall of the contracting castle. At the same time, we need A portion of the existing wall was removed to accommodate the oversized cooling and waste energy release – the engineering team also added some new support structures and walls to ensure the strength of the main building would not be compromised.

"Mages also need to perform super-large-scale enchanting work on the entire facility. Enchanting mainly includes three parts, one part is used to enhance the strength of the facility, which goes without saying; the second part is used to purify the elemental environment to reduce the environment The interference of the natural magic power on the 'pure arcane energy' is a request made by Cecil's technicians, which is very reasonable and we will fully cooperate; the third part is to set up 'mental protection runes' near the main hall ——You should have seen them in the data, it is said that they are the blessing power from the deep sea, a gift from the sea monster to the alliance, and His Majesty approves of them very much..."

Listening to Windsor's detailed and serious narration, Daniel couldn't help showing a smile on his face: "Yes, of course I have seen them. They are incredible things, and they are very effective in protecting against spiritual pollution from gods."

"Exactly. According to one of the plans, if there is a pollution backflow during the process of opening the door, then the rune system set up on the scene and the 'anti-divine barrier' brought by the Cecils will have an immediate effect. Suppressing and blocking the pollution can at least buy us time to evacuate the site and blow up the portal," Windsor nodded, "This entire enchanting project will be carried out simultaneously with the construction of the main device, and we expect to need to set up tens of thousands of Enchanting node..."

"It doesn't sound easy." Daniel said lightly.

"Yes, the difficulty is very high - this is not about enchanting swords and armor, nor is it creating a magic chamber, we are going to enchant an entire castle this time, turning it into a veritable 'magic product', its scale is unprecedented "Windsor said solemnly, and finally showed a confident smile, "but I am very confident. The whole system was designed by myself, and I conducted many deduction, and the Cecils also used them The "Neural Network Calculus" technology has been simulated and verified, and its effectiveness is determined to be over 98%. According to the results of previous scholars' demonstrations, as long as the effectiveness of the enchanting system can exceed 90%, can provide adequate protection for the entire process..."

Windsor was quite proud to describe her design, which made Daniel recall some past images in a trance, recalling that many years ago, this talented apprentice was excited to show herself every progress in the field of magic , every thought... She can always come up with such things that can astonish the people around her, and within a few years, the things she brings out have reached the level that she can't control...

Many years ago, this was the biggest obstacle in his heart.

"Windsor, you are indeed very talented in this area." Daniel said with a flat expression.

Windsor finally stopped, she was a little embarrassed and annoyed: "Um, sorry, mentor, I just..."

"That's a good thing," Daniel laughed, "We really need your talent right now."

Windsor looked at Daniel with some surprise, but the old mage's attention had shifted to other places. He looked at the castle atrium inside the city wall, his eyes fell under a Cecil flag, and he said casually: "That is Is Cecil's chief technical officer here?"

"Yes, Cecil's chief technical officer arrived a few days later than us, and just arrived at Fort Contracting today," Windsor Mapel nodded, "We should pay a visit."

"Indeed," Daniel laughed, "we should pay a visit."
