Chapter 1278 A Historic Scene

A week later, Roland received two pieces of good news.

First, Iron Ax used napalm bombs to give the Devil a head-on blow with extremely limited power, slowing down the enemy's advance in the north.

In the letter, the commander-in-chief described in detail the scene when the new weapon exploded, which can be said to be even more shocking than the results obtained in the test. In fact, the use of flames to restrain the devil has appeared as early as the first War of Divine Will. At that time, humans repeatedly went around behind the enemy and ignited the forest, triggering mountain fires that would not go out for several days, causing red fog on the front line. Unable to gather together, they all achieved good results in the end.

Because of this, the devils who have learned their lesson will then destroy forests, grasslands, and even farmland in a targeted manner to avoid interruption of supplies. At the same time, even if they are in an area covered by red mist, they will establish a small stone tower camp similar to an outpost, just in case. As long as there is red mist stored in the camp, even if a fire breaks out behind them, they can persist until the fire is extinguished.

There is no doubt that Iron Ax and the General Staff were inspired by the above examples to plan this city-burning blocking battle.

The advantage of napalm is that it carries its own fuel. It can spark a raging fire even in an open space and is extremely difficult to extinguish with water. But no one expected that the flames did not burn for long, but instead caused a explosion that covered the entire city.

It would be great if Axia could be allowed to restore the situation at the scene. Roland thought with regret. If he could find out the reason, he could use incendiary gasoline bombs in a targeted manner to deal a devastating blow to the devil.

Unfortunately, according to time calculation, Fang City should have been swallowed up by the red mist again, and it is impossible to sneak in again.

In addition, Roland felt quite distressed by using up more than 500 barrels of napalm at one time. After all, oil is not bad, as long as more manpower is invested, the production can be increased. The key is to make the animal blood that makes the rubber bug mucus have affinity. There is no other way but to rely on the Ministry of Agriculture to slowly accumulate it.

However, the immigrants brought back by victory were more important than anything else. Roland not only encouraged Iron Ax in his reply letter, but also granted more than a hundred barrels of newly produced napalm to the front line.

The second good news is that the "Skyfire" assembly plant finally ushered in the successful rollout of the first biplane.

After he got the news from Anna, he rushed to the factory site with Tilly as soon as possible.

This brand-new factory building was built at the same time as the Sky Knight Academy. Compared with the steam engine factory built of bricks and stones two or three years ago, it has taken into account the various needs of high-end manufacturing from the beginning of its design. The steel structure frame makes its interior It has a very wide space that can assemble and repair more than ten aircraft at the same time, and lighting fixtures are hung all over the ceiling. Paired with the smooth and bright terrazzo floor, it can be described as magnificent.

Even Tilly couldn't help but sigh in admiration when she approached the factory gate.

If you were someone who didn't know the inside story, it wouldn't be surprising to think of this place as a palace.

In terms of personnel and equipment, Roland has also spent a lot of money. In addition to recruiting the most experienced managers and workers from various workshops, all processing equipment uses third-generation electric-driven machine tools to meet the needs of cutting-edge production. . This makes it the leading power consumer in the industrial zone. Without the appearance of the Mysterious Moon Instrument, if you want to make it operate at full capacity, you will have to suspend the power supply to other factories.

It can be said that the achievements and accumulation of Neverwinter City in the past five years are all reflected in this new factory.

Roland even heard from Barov that the Neverwinter people were proud to work here.

According to the plan, when the new factory is officially put into operation, each of its workstations will take on a specialized assembly task. From the first station to the last step, it is basically the entire process of gradually forming the aircraft - the body is riveted from the frame to frame, the wings are attached, parts are loaded, until the skin is attached and the factory is tested.

But now, the factory is far from reaching the ideal state. Except for the "Skyfire" that is undergoing painting operations on the station closest to the exit of the factory, the other stations are empty.

"What's going on? Are you having trouble with the production?" Roland walked to Anna's side.

"There are too many to count," Anna shook her head. "You have no idea how many parts and materials the workers scrapped in order to build this quality product."

Looking at the other party's helpless look, he couldn't help but laugh.

As early as when he made this decision, Roland had anticipated the difficulties - brand-new materials and new installation processes, which were almost impossible to understand in a short time. This was after he tried every means to reduce the problem. Difficulty situation.

For example, the joint part of the aircraft uses a new single-sided riveting technology. For this reason, he specially opened a production line specifically for manufacturing various core-hit and blind rivets required for biplanes. Compared with traditional double-sided rivets, this kind of connector that only requires tapping or core pulling to fix has lower requirements on workers and is more convenient to install.

In addition, he also drew on the experience of assembling models from later generations. While fixing numbers on all parts, he also expressed each assembly step in the form of illustrations. And foolproof interfaces are set up on some easily confused parts to further reduce the possibility of misassembly due to carelessness.

Even so, in nearly half a month, the workers only produced one finished product, and one can imagine the difficulty.

"Then did you show up in person?" Tilly suddenly asked.

"That's not true..." Anna shrugged - only in front of a few people would she show such an "unsteady" demeanor. "Roland asked me to only be responsible for commanding. No matter what trouble we encounter, we must let him They figure it out on their own, although there were a few times when I almost couldn’t help it.”

Tilly laughed, "So you are actually very happy, right? Because one of them succeeded after all."

Ana couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you."

"Wherever there is the first one, there will be a second one. Once all the workers get started, I think there will be more qualified aircraft soon." Tilly paused here and turned to glance at Roland, "If It would be better if you praise her at this time."

"I didn't count on him," Anna pouted.

"Eh?" Roland looked confused. What happened? Weren't we discussing aircraft production? Why did it turn to him?

At this moment, a guard ran over and said, "Your Majesty, all preparations for the first Skyfire to leave the factory have been completed, and the celebration ceremony can begin at any time."

Roland turned his attention back to the biplane, and saw two newly painted logos on the light gray fuselage. One was the royal crest of Graycastle, and the other was a figure holding a spear and spreading its wings. knight. The whole machine looks majestic, but it always feels like something is missing...

He thought about it for a moment, then suddenly realized it, stretched out his hand and said, "Take the ribbon!"

Soon, bright red satin was hung on the plane, and the propeller on the nose of the plane was also decorated with a big red flower.

That's right, he nodded with satisfaction, this would be considered the Skyfire's perfect factory condition.

Then there were speeches, ribbon-cutting and group photos. Roland, Anna, Tilly... and all the heroes and workers who had participated in the design and manufacturing of the aircraft stood together. Behind them was the brand-new biplane numbered 001, dressed in red and colorful.

"Look at me here...one, two, three!"

Soraya summoned the magic pen and recorded this historic picture.
