Chapter 1445 The Never-Set Island
A genius can remember the address of this website in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest updates! No ads! After returning to the castle from the North Slope Mine, Roland recruited the General Manager Barov and the Minister of Construction Karl into the office.
"I need the Executive Office to make a new supply plan for metallurgical materials as soon as possible, and spread the supply focus from Beipo Mountain to other places - whether it is Changge Fortress or Chishui City. The only thing to ensure is that the quantity cannot be small. .The North Slope Mountains will soon be unavailable for mining."
The expressions of the two people suddenly changed. After looking at each other, Karl lowered his head deeply, while Barov asked with difficulty, "Your Majesty... is the situation in the north already so bad?"
"North?" Roland was stunned for a moment before he realized. The other party probably thought that a new powerful enemy had appeared on the fertile plains, and even the First Army could not compete with it. Therefore, in order to save the city, the North Slope Mine had to be abandoned as well. He shook his head angrily and amusedly, "The army has not degenerated to the point where it needs to lie about victory to maintain people's hearts. Besides, you are in charge of logistics and you can see the general situation from the consumption of medical supplies. How could you ask such a question. "
Barov quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Ahaha... I was just preparing for a rainy day for Your Majesty. In fact, I was also surprised at first. I thought some witch had discovered new information about the Tianhai Realm, and it was too late to inform the administration. Come to the hall."
"In that case, why do you want to abandon the North Slope Mine?" Karl couldn't help but ask.
"Because the mine is going to fly soon." Roland shrugged.
"..."
The two fell silent again, but this time their expressions were a little strange, as if they were doubting their ears.
"You heard it right, it will fly up and become a floating island." Roland looked at the two of them with interest and briefly told the story about the ancient witch Eleanor and the capture of the magic core. "Remember what happened before? The iron box arranged by the Administration Office to be shipped back contains the center of the God of Creation. However, because of the risks involved in transplantation, no one can tell the result until the last moment, so I did not tell the details. You. Now you can know that the plan is successful, and Neverwinter will soon have a floating territory."
Barov's eyes widened and he couldn't answer the question for a moment, but Karl was already trembling with excitement. He asked with an uncontrollable trembling voice, "Your Majesty, what you want is not just a huge stone, right?"
"You are right," Roland said no longer. "It will be a floating battleship and a fortress that will never fall. It must meet the needs of a large number of soldiers for several months or even a whole year, and it must be able to take the initiative Attacking the enemy also has certain defensive capabilities. How long do you estimate it will take to transform Beipo Mountain into this state?"
As a person with a background in science and engineering, he can completely understand Carl's excitement. Any aspiring designer hopes to place his works in the most incredible places and build a floating city with his own hands. This is definitely a rare opportunity. An incredible opportunity.
"According to the general project planning, it will take four to five years, but I think your Majesty will not be able to wait that long, and the floating city cannot be regarded as a general project." Karl replied almost immediately, "Considering its Characteristics, the Ministry of Construction can station an engineering team permanently and follow the mountain. If I understand correctly, His Majesty must want the Sky Knights to permanently station on it. As long as there is a supply point to stay, their attack and defense The range will be far beyond that of any artillery."
It seemed that after building a dozen landing sites, the Minister of Construction had a deeper understanding of the Air Force. Roland smiled and nodded, "Go on."
"The take-off and landing site that can be used by Sky Knights consists of nothing more than runways, warehouses, fuel and ammunition storage rooms. These things have mature and feasible plans and drawings, and can be completed in a week at most. So Your Majesty -" Karl caressed his chest Dao, "The minimum is one week. After one week, it will be able to meet your basic requirements, and the remaining projects are just further additions, improvements, and expansions."
"What to do with the construction materials?" Barov asked, "Once the northern slope of the mountain flies up, it will be very difficult to transport it up again."
"Of course I have considered this." When it comes to professional issues, Karl is very confident. "There is a small lake on the mountainside on the north slope, which is formed by the spring water from the top of the mountain. In the first week, the engineering team can Enclose it and make it a natural reservoir that can be used both for daily use and construction."
"Secondly, the limestone used in cement can be obtained by excavating the mountain. I don't think Ms. Eleanor will care how much lighter the floating city is. Bricks, stones, and wood can be obtained locally. As for steel, it is best to prepare it in advance—— If Miss Hummingbird and Miss Moriel are willing to help, the reserves transported in within a week must be very considerable."
"In addition, the Third Border City of Taquila Witch can also be of great help. Those continuous caves can be the best warehouses with a little modification. With these things, even if there is no supply for a long time, the engineering team can I can work for a year or two." At this point, he looked at Barov, "Of course, if the kiln area and steelmaking field are also preserved, this period will undoubtedly be longer."
Roland couldn't help but clapped his hands. This plan was indeed the most appropriate approach in the limited time - first ensure that the floating island has basic combat capabilities in the shortest possible time. As for other things, such as the living conditions of workers and the supplement of functional buildings, all It can be improved later.
"Barov, what do you think?"
"In that case, in addition to the First Army, there will also be a lot of city residents living on the island." The old manager stroked his beard and said, "It seems that I have to come up with a recruitment plan that is attractive enough."
Roland laughed with satisfaction. It seemed that the other party had clearly grasped the key points of the plan.
Landing on the floating island means that you will be away from your homeland for a long time, and the difficult living conditions in the early stage cannot be compared with the Neverwinter residential area. Therefore, whether it is publicity or remuneration, the administrative office must make good preparations - only a group of people full of Only motivated workers can complete the task efficiently.
In the past, Roland took the lead in planning this kind of thing. Now that Barov can take on this responsibility himself, he obviously fully understands his governing philosophy.
"Then let's implement this idea." Roland finally made the decision.
…
"Sir, welcome back."
When Victor walked into the office of the Miracle Building, Linglong greeted him happily, just like before in the hotel.
The business of Rainbow Stone is now rising steadily, and other similar competitors have also appeared. In order to stabilize the supply of goods, he has to travel frequently between Yongdong and Bishui Port. Although the action is quite tiring, he still enjoys it. Compared with the uncertain jewelry sales in the past, he is getting closer to his original goal-to become a businessman big enough to sustain the family.
As soon as Victor stretched out his hand, the other party had already placed the "Greycastle Weekly" in his hand.
This tacit understanding made him smile slightly. Although there was also a weekly newspaper published in Bishui Port, the time was always two or three weeks at night. For a city like Neverwinter, the changes in two or three weeks were enough to be astonishing.
Sure enough, the headline on the first page of the latest issue of the newspaper instantly caught his attention.
"Going to the Sky - The Sky Project is Officially Announced".
