After the group left the training room, they headed south along the cement road.
The road is full of brand new red brick houses, some just built and some under construction. According to Finkin, this place was just a wasteland near the sea a year ago, and there was nothing but a few solitary tree trunks. But now, the construction team has turned it into a "city within a city".
Although it has a wall that is not high, it is enough to separate this place from the outside world, and the warning signs painted on the wall "It is strictly forbidden to climb over, and those who violate it will be shot to death" can also dispel the idea of sneaking in and out of those who are good.
Inside the walls are dormitories, canteens, playgrounds, training rooms, classrooms, and more... and more. It took Goode a day to figure out the meaning of these strange words at first. In short, it means that food, clothing, housing, and school can be completed within the walls. This is probably what the instructors mean by closed management.
The last point is that this place is so big that he's been here for weeks, and he hasn't seen where the corner of the wall is. Of course, this is also related to the limited range of activities for students. Without special permission, they can only travel between the dormitory and the playground at most.
And all of this came out in one year.
For Good, who only moved to the West in winter, although he often hears that Neverwinter is famous for its amazing construction speed, there is no intuitive feeling. It was not until he entered this "city within a city" that he understood what it meant to be fast.
The southern end of the playground, which was empty a week ago, has now built a red bungalow.
In other cities, this efficiency can be described as incredible.
After passing through the playground wall, there was a chatter in the team.
This is where they normally prohibit entry.
Today, everyone can see the whole picture of this place. It is an extremely open flat land, and there is no obstruction as far as the eye can see. The blue sky and clouds occupy most of the field of vision, and further away is the boundless vortex sea. The slightly chilling sea breeze caressed his face, which instantly lifted Goode's mood.
I have to say that when I was used to seeing the red brick houses in front, I suddenly saw such a scene, and I felt that the whole world was relaxed.
"Strange... I thought there would be something extraordinary here," Heinz whispered, "Isn't it just an open space?"
That's right, the open space, except for a few black stone pavements that run through things and look wider than the main street of Neverwinter, there are no other conspicuous buildings.
It's a bit confusing to designate it as a restricted area.
"Maybe I'm worried that the scenery here is too good, and I'm afraid that we will lose our feet and fall into the sea." Finkin grinned, "But I think that if the classroom is moved here, my enthusiasm for learning will increase by at least 30%. "
"Are you saying that zero multiplied by three still equals zero?" someone around him laughed.
"Huh, are you challenging me?" Finkin glared back, "How about comparing the test results?"
"Don't talk about this, look there," Goode raised his eyebrows, "someone has arrived first."
"It's another class..." Heinz's words made the entire team quiet for a moment. Although they have not had direct contact with them, they have heard from the instructors how good each other is, how they complete all the exercises in one day, and ask for additional training in the evening, and they can't stick to the swivel chair even if they vomit all over their bodies... Perseverance and hard work, and they are like a bunch of fools who waste their talent, and they are half the difference in what they do.
This also makes them subconsciously regard each other as an enemy.
"All look up."
"Don't look away, you will lose if you look away!"
Everyone cheered.
And those people didn't look any better.
Seeing them coming, the first-comers raised their faces one after another, staring at their group with cold eyes, completely lacking the self-awareness of outstanding students.
The tense confrontation did not end until the two teams separated.
"Okay, just wait here." Eagle Face took everyone to the edge of Blackstone Avenue and stopped, "but remember, no matter what you see later, you must not leave your place. His Majesty the King and Tilly The princess will be present, any rash move will be regarded as a dangerous action, you should know what will happen."
Will the king... come too
No, he should have arrived. Goode noticed that the shed on the side of the open space was surrounded by soldiers and policemen of the First Army. Obviously, only the King of Graycastle could come to guard them at the same time.
It seems that the Aerial Knight is really extraordinary.
Goode couldn't help but look forward to the next development.
As for Eagle Face's last meaningful sneer, he forgot it for a while.
…
Inside the hangar is another story.
The first large glider "Seagull" has completed all preparations and is about to set off.
This is also the first manned version of the aircraft that Tilly has officially manufactured after mastering all the operating procedures of the test aircraft. Compared with the exposed rudimentary frame and thin wings during the test flight, it not only has a larger body and wider wings, but also wraps the skin outside the frame, and adds ports such as portholes, seats, and rear opening airtightness. Auxiliary equipment such as doors to facilitate riding. All in all, the Seagull finally looks like a complete plane.
Most of the gliders that have appeared in history are used as a supplement to the shortage of transport aircraft. Basically, they can save money when they can. Wood skeletons and canvas skins are common things. Anyway, a hole will not affect the flight. Compared with those shoddy predecessors, the Seagull's manufacturing is completely the other extreme. Aluminum alloy and high-strength steel are just the foundation. Each large part can be cut as a whole without bolts or welding; non-structural components are all densely covered with small parts Holes are added to reduce weight as much as possible; the magic coating can ensure that no air leakage occurs when the air pressure difference between the inside and outside is large; the bottom of the aircraft is also equipped with emergency landing armor, as long as it does not lose stability and roll, even the crashed personnel can be safe and sound.
After all, it was carrying a witch.
As the only model that will only produce one, safety cannot be overemphasized.
"Then... I'm boarding the plane." Anna gently kissed Roland's cheek, "See you tomorrow."
"Be careful, don't be stubborn." Roland urged seriously, "If you encounter a devil, remember to cover first."
She smiled slightly, "I know, you've said it dozens of times."
"Please rest assured, I will protect her." Felice, the witch of God's punishment, said solemnly.
Roland released Anna's hand after a while, and nodded slowly, "Go, I'll be here waiting for you to come back."
After the railway track was built to the inflection point in the plan, the First Army first opened up a flat land on the edge of the forest as an airport and used a distance of more than 500 kilometers, making it impossible for all means of transportation except Maisie to arrive on the same day. Therefore, The importance of gliders is highlighted.
The Seagull is designed to carry 20 people. In addition to the necessary pilots Tilly and Wendy, it can carry 18 people, or a ton of supplies (after the seats are removed). The flight speed depends on Wendy's magic, but even at a "low speed" of 200 kilometers, you can go back and forth between Neverwinter and the frontline battlefield twice in one day, which is the most efficient for this era. means of delivery.
