Chapter 482: The Vast Sky Has a Great Achievement
Charles and Diana went to the banquet hall where the awards ceremony was held, and there were small round tables for the guests to sit together, and the innermost stage was a luxurious stage, and in the middle of the stage was a two.
The architectural style of the dragon is, in short, "high-profile luxury with connotation".
In the ballroom where the awards were presented under the umbrella of "The Dragons Who Make the Sky More Lively", Charles saw classic geometric shapes such as Archimedes spirals painted with vines, Piano curves inlaid with gold threads on marble floors, and rows of rotating Lylo triangles in the tiles on the baseboards.
"I'm sorry!" Charles whispered.
Diana asked suspiciously, "What do you regret?"
Charles said a little dejectedly: "I knew that I would choose this style for the decoration of my home." ”
Diana glanced at him angrily, "Then it's demolished and redecorated, you have a lot of money anyway." ”
As a result, Charles shrugged his shoulders and said, "Believe it or not, as long as I give this order, Grandma St. Angel will definitely stop me from spending money indiscriminately, and then hang me from a tree and beat me." ”
Diana shook her head, "I don't believe it. ”
Charles said with a black line: "You just want to see me hung up and beaten, right?" ”
Diana didn't answer, and turned to look at a glass Klein bottle ornament on the shelf on the wall.
There were quite a few guests coming to the banquet hall today to attend the award ceremony, and there were hundreds of them, most of them were dragons, and there were many humans, demons, elves, orcs, goblins, and other races.
At this time, Nesario walked up to Charles, and she saw that Charles was a little surprised by the number of people in the auditorium, so she said, "We have a lot of groups in different fields, and each group will give out awards in that field on a regular or irregular basis. These awards are of high value, and many scholars are proud to have won one of them. ”
"Now that the awards season has begun, many of the guests and winners will be staying here for a while to attend the awards ceremonies for other awards. ”
With Nessario's reminder, Charles immediately pulled Diana, who was studying the Klein bottle next to him, and said, "Our company is looking for an expert in mathematics, can you introduce us to it?"
Nysario was immediately interested, and said, "What do you think of me? I'm also an expert in mathematics. ”
Charles shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not good, you are an active duty officer, or a high-ranking officer, how can you come to help us." ”
Seeing that Charles didn't take the bait, Nesario said to him, "There's an award ceremony in mathematics in five days, and I'll bring you here then, and it's up to you to find an expert." ”
At this moment, soft music sounded in the banquet hall, and the guests sat down at round tables in groups of three or five.
Ten minutes later, when the guests were seated, the music in the ballroom became agitated, and a dragon in a gown walked onto the stage and came to the back of the podium.
The bearded dragon uncle smiled and looked at the guests in the audience, and then said: "Welcome friends to participate in the Dragon Regiment Flight Contribution Award Ceremony that makes the sky more lively, I am the deputy head Smith, because our head of the group has locked himself up and tinkered with new inventions, so it is up to me to present the awards to today's winners." ”
The dragons in the audience laughed at the same time, as if they all knew about the leader.
Smith continued: "The sky is an infinite world, and there are countless mysteries waiting to be explored. ”
"But we found that the sky is a place of silence. Whenever we were in the air, we looked around and saw that we were the only ones there. ”
"How we long, longing for this sky to be lively, with countless friends soaring with us and exploring this world full of unknowns. ”
"Today, we would like to thank our friends, Mr. Charles McGardenen, Miss Wilbur Wright, Miss Oviel Wright, Mr. Rurika, Mr. Braun and Mr. Sikorsky, whose talents and efforts have made it a dream that has brought more friends to the skies and is no longer out of reach. ”
"I would like to invite Mr. McCaden to the stage to receive the award. ”
Amid applause, Charles stepped onto the stage as four humanoid dragons arrived on stage carrying a shelf covered in red silk.
Smith shook hands with Charles and said, "Every once in a while, a group of talented young people emerge from the human race, which is really the envy of us." ”
Charles modestly said: "I just provided a little inspiration to everyone by chance, and the other predecessors who made achievements are worthy of being written in history." ”
"The mountain is ten thousand feet high because it has a solid foothill, and if it were not for the achievements of countless pioneers, my little wisdom would only be a flower in the mirror and a moon on the water. ”
Smith smiled and walked with Charles to the red silk covered medallion, when the dragons on both sides of the medal lifted the silk, and a gold medal made of full material and childlike appeared in front of Charles.
The medal is heptagonal in shape, 20 centimeters thick, and each side is about 27 centimeters long, and the obverse depicts the ten planets in the solar system where the planet is located.
In terms of the density of gold and the area and thickness of the regular heptagon, this medal weighs a ton in fact.
However, considering the original size of the dragon, such a medal is just right.
It's just that Charles was shocked when he saw the pattern on the medal, and he was afraid that his understanding of "sky" was different from that of dragons, and he regarded the part of the atmosphere as "sky", and the dragons extended the word "sky" to the outside of the atmosphere.
Fortunately, the dragons didn't plan to pin the medal to Charles's chest, nor did they let him hold it for a photo, and Smith whispered to Charles that they could send the medal to the designated place. So Charles decided to put it in his home, and found a way to hang it up in the foyer, so that visitors would be stopped by the ton of gold medallion as soon as they entered the door.
The applause resounded throughout the ballroom, and Charles came to the back of the podium to speak.
After the opening polite remarks, Charles said: "Yesterday, as I was soaring through the air on a paraglider, it dawned on me that our souls are bound by gravity. ”
"Then I was thinking about whether some of the problems we had on land could be solved by flying into the sky. ”
"In the end, it occurred to me that when I went to the sky, the vast sky could make a difference. ”
"It is difficult for people to travel far because of the ferocious monsters on the ground and the rough roads, which make the journey of travelers carry great dangers. ”
"But in the air, these dangers can be avoided. ”
"Passengers can reach distant destinations safely and conveniently, and goods from distant places can be delivered to every part of the continent in a day or two, and the world will be smaller with the flight. ”
"In the future we can see, countless aircraft will be built into bridges and connect countless people. ”
