Chapter 1278: A Historic Scene
A week later, Roland received two pieces of good news.
First, the iron axe used napalm to give the devil a head-on blow with extremely limited force, delaying the enemy's advance in the north.
In his letter, the commander-in-chief described in detail the situation at the time of the explosion of the new weapon, which can be said to be even more striking than the results obtained from the tests. In fact, the use of flames to contain the devil appeared as early as the first battle of the divine will, when humans repeatedly went around the enemy's back and ignited the forest, causing wildfires that would not be extinguished for several days, making it impossible for the red mist to gather on the front line, and finally achieved good results.
Because of this, the devil who learns his lesson will then destroy woods, meadows, and even farmland in a targeted manner so as not to interrupt supplies. At the same time, even if they are in an area covered in red mist, they will set up small stone tower camps similar to outposts, just in case. As long as there is red mist stored in the camp, even if a fire breaks out in the rear, they will be able to hold out until the fire is extinguished.
There is no doubt that Iron Axe and the General Staff were inspired by the above examples to plan this battle of burning the city.
Napalm has the advantage of having its own fuel, which can cause a fire in even an open field and is extremely difficult to extinguish with water. It's just that no one expected that the flames didn't burn for long, but instead caused a deflagration that covered the whole city.
It would be nice if Ah Xia could restore the situation at the scene, Roland thought with regret, if he could find out the reason, he would be able to use incendiary gasoline bombs in the future to deal a devastating blow to the devil.
Unfortunately, according to the time calculation, Fangs City should have been re-engulfed by the red mist, and it is impossible to sneak into it again.
In addition, the one-time use of more than 500 barrels of napalm also made Roland feel distressed. After all, the oil is good to say, as long as more manpower can be put in, the key is to make the rubber worm mucus have an affinity for animal blood, there is no other way than to rely on the Ministry of Agriculture to slowly accumulate.
However, the immigrants returned in exchange for victory were more important than anything else, and Roland not only encouraged the iron axe in his reply, but also gave the front line more than 100 barrels of napalm that had been newly produced.
The second piece of good news is that the assembly plant of the Skyfire has finally ushered in the successful launch 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 was built at the same time as the Air Knight Academy, compared to the masonry steam engine factory two or three years ago, it was designed from the beginning of the high-end manufacturing needs of various needs, the steel frame makes it have a very open space inside, can be equipped and repaired for more than ten aircraft at the same time, and the lighting fixtures are hung all over the ceiling. With a smooth and bright terrazzo floor, it can be described as magnificent.
Even Tilly couldn't help but let out an exclamation as she approached the factory gate.
If you are a person who does not know the inside story, it is not surprising that this place is a palace.
In terms of personnel and equipment, Roland has also invested a lot of money, not to mention the most experienced managers and workers from various workshops, and the processing equipment is all equipped with third-generation electrically driven machine tools to meet the needs of cutting-edge production. This makes it one of the largest consumers of electricity in the industrial zone, and without the presence of the Mystery Moon Instrument, it would have had to suspend the power supply to other factories if it was to run at full capacity.
It can be said that the achievements and accumulation of Neverwinter in the past five years are all reflected in this new factory.
Roland had even heard from Barov that the Neverwinter people were proud to work here.
It is planned that when the new plant is officially put into operation, each of its stations will take on a dedicated assembly task. From the first station to the last, the whole process of the gradual shaping of the aircraft is basically - the body is riveted from the skeleton, the wings are pressed, the parts are loaded, and the skin is applied and tested at the factory.
But now, the factory is far from the ideal state, except for the station closest to the exit of the factory, where a painting "Tianhuo" is being placed, the rest of the station is empty.
"How's it going, you're in trouble with production?" Roland walked over to Anna.
"Too many to count," Anna shook her head, "you don't know how many parts and materials the workers scrapped to make this good thing." ”
Looking at the other party's helpless look, he couldn't help but smile dumbly.
As early as the beginning of this decision, Roland had anticipated the difficulties - new materials, new installation techniques, it was almost impossible to figure it out in a short period of time, and this was when he tried everything to reduce the difficulty.
For example, the joint part of the aircraft adopts a new single-sided riveting technology, for which he has set up a special production line for the manufacture of all kinds of core and blind rivets required by biplanes. Compared with traditional double-sided rivets, this kind of connection that can be fixed only by tapping or core-pulling is less demanding for workers and is more convenient to install.
In addition, he also drew on the experience of later generations of model assembly, and at the same time fixed the number of all the parts, each assembly step was expressed in the form of a legend. And set up fool interfaces on some confusing parts to further reduce the possibility of misinstallation due to carelessness.
Even so, in the past half a month, the workers have only tossed out one finished product, and the difficulty can be imagined.
"Did you play in person?" Tilly asked suddenly.
"It's not ......," Anna shrugged—only in front of a few people would she show such an "unpretentious" demeanor, "Roland told me to be in charge of only commanding, and to let them solve any trouble on their own, although there were several times when I almost couldn't help it." ”
Tilly laughed, "So you're actually pretty happy, aren't you? Because one of them succeeds." ”
Anna couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, "I know I can't hide it from you." ”
"If there is a first, there will be a second, and when all the workers are on it, I think there will be more qualified planes soon. Tilly paused and glanced at Roland, "It would be better if you complimented her again at this point." ”
"I didn't count on him," Anna pouted.
"Huh?" Roland looked at a loss, what the hell was going on? Wasn't he discussing the production of airplanes, how did it turn to him?
At this moment, a personal guard ran over, "Your Majesty, all factory preparations for the first Skyfire have been completed, and the celebration ceremony can begin at any time." ”
Roland turned his attention back to the biplane, only to see two newly painted emblems on the light gray fuselage, one was the royal coat of arms of the Grey Keep, and the other was a knight with a spear and wings outstretched. The whole body looks majestic, but I always feel that something is missing......
He pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized, stretched out his hand and waved, "Put on the ribbon!"
Soon, the bright red silk was hung on the plane, and the propeller in the nose was also wearing a big red flower.
That's right, he nodded in satisfaction, and this was the perfect factory condition of the Skyfire.
This was followed by speeches, ribbon cuttings and group photos, with Roland, Anna, Tilly...... And all the heroes and workers involved in the design and manufacture of the aircraft stand together, behind which is the new biplane number 001, cloaked in red and color.
"Look at me here...... One, two, three!"
Zoroa summoned a magical pen to record this historic image.
