After returning to the castle from the North Slope mines, Roland recruited Barov, the head manager, and Karl, the head of construction, into his office.

"I need the Administration Department to make a new metallurgical material supply plan as soon as possible, and disperse 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 must not be small. The northern slopes of the mountains soon became no longer available for mining. ”

The expressions of the two suddenly changed greatly, and after glancing at each other, Karl bowed his head deeply, and Barov asked with difficulty, "Your Majesty...... Is the situation in the north already so bad?"

"North?" Roland was slightly stunned before reacting, the other party probably thought that a new strong enemy had appeared on the fertile plains, and even the First Army could not resist. Therefore, in order to keep the city, the North Slope mine had to be abandoned. He shook his head angrily and amusedly, "The army has not degenerated to the point where it needs to maintain the hearts and minds of the people by lying about victory. What's more, you are in charge of logistics, and you can also see the general situation from the consumption of medical supplies, how could you ask such a question. ”

Barov hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Ahaha...... I'm just preparing for a rainy day for Your Majesty. In fact, I was also strange at first, thinking that it was a witch who had discovered new information about the Tianhai Realm, and it was too late to inform the Executive Office. ”

"In that case, why did you abandon the North Slope mines, Your Majesty?" Karl asked.

"Because the mine is going to fly soon. Roland shrugged.

“......”

The two of them fell silent again, but this time they looked a little strange, as if they were doubting their ears.

"You heard it right, it's going to fly and become a floating island. Roland looked at the two of them with interest, and roughly explained the matter of the ancient witch Eleanor and the capture of the magic core, "Do you remember the iron box that I asked the Administration Department to arrange for the shipment back, which contained the center of the god of creation?" It's just that because of the risks of transplantation, no one can say for sure until the last minute, so I won't tell you the details. Now you know that the plan has been successful, and Neverwinter will soon have a realm floating in the air. ”

Barov's eyes widened and he couldn't answer for a moment, but Karl was already trembling with excitement. He asked in an irrepressible tremolo, "Your Majesty, what you want is not simply a huge stone, is it?"

"You're right," Roland said no more, "it's going to be a floating battleship, a fortress that never falls." It has to meet the needs of a large number of soldiers for several months or even an entire year, and can not only actively attack the enemy, but also have a certain defensive ability of its own. How long do you think it will take to transform the North Slope into this?"

As a man with a background in science and engineering, he can fully understand Carl's excitement, and any aspiring designer who wants to put his work in the most incredible place, and can build a floating city with his own hands, this is definitely a rare opportunity.

"According to the general project planning, it will take four to five years, but I don't think Your Majesty will be able to wait that long, and the Floating City cannot be counted as an ordinary project. "Given its characteristics, the Ministry of Construction could have stationed a permanent engineering team to follow the mountain." If I'm not mistaken, Your Majesty must want the Sky Knights to be stationed on it, and as long as there is a supply point to settle on, their attack and defense will far exceed that of all artillery. ”

It seems that after building more than a dozen take-off and landing fields, the construction minister's understanding of the Air Force has become more and more profound, Roland nodded with a smile, "Go on." ”

"The take-off and landing fields used by air riders are nothing more than a runway, a storeroom, and a fuel and ammunition storage room, all of which have mature and feasible plans and drawings, which can be completed in a week at most. So Your Majesty—" Karl said with a stroke of his chest, "at least a week. After a week, it will meet your basic requirements, and the rest of the work will be nothing more than further additions, refinements, and expansions. ”

"What about the building materials?" asked Barov, "and once the North Slope Mountain flies, it will be difficult to transport it again. ”

"Naturally, I have this in mind. When it comes to professional issues, Carl is confident: "There is a small lake on the mountainside on the northern slope, formed by the spring water from the top of the mountain. In the first week, the project team was able to enclose it and turn it into a natural reservoir for both daily use and construction. ”

"Secondly, the limestone used for cement can be obtained by excavating the mountain, and I don't think Eleanor cares that the floating city is a little lighter. Masonry and wood can be obtained on the spot, and steel is best prepared in advance - if Miss Hummingbird and Miss Moriel are willing to help, the amount of reserves that will be transported in a week must be very considerable. ”

"In addition, the third frontier city of the Tachira Witches can also be of great help, and those endless caverns are the best warehouses with a little modification. With these things, even if there is no supply for a long time, the engineering team can work for a year or two. At this point he looked at Barov, "Of course, if the furnace area and the steelworks were preserved, this period would undoubtedly be longer." ”

Roland couldn't help but clap his hands, this plan is indeed the most suitable way to do it in a limited time - first ensure that the floating island has basic combat capabilities in the shortest possible time, and as for other things, such as the living conditions of workers and the supplement of functional buildings, they can be put to improve later.

"Barov, what do you think?"

"In that case, in addition to the First Army, there must be a lot of people living on the island. The boss stroked his beard and said, "It seems that I have to think of a recruitment plan that is attractive enough." ”

Roland smiled with satisfaction, it seemed that the other party had clearly grasped the key point of the plan.

Landing on the floating island means that you will be away from your homeland and the land for a long time, and the difficult living conditions in the early stage cannot be compared with the winterless residential area, so whether it is publicity or compensation, the Administration Office must prepare well - only a group of workers who are full of initiative can complete the task efficiently.

In the past, this kind of thing was led by Roland, but now that Barov can take on this task himself, he obviously fully understands his governing philosophy.

"So let's do it with that in mind. Roland finally clapped.

......

"Welcome back, sir. ”

When Victor walked into the office of the Miracle Building, he was greeted by Linglong, just as he had been at the hotel.

Rainbowstone's business is now rising, and other similar competitors have emerged, so he has to travel frequently between Yongdong and Bishui Harbor in order to stabilize the supply, although the action is quite tiring, but it is also enjoyable. He is getting closer to his original goal of becoming a big businessman enough to sustain his family than the uncertain jewelry sales of the past.

As soon as Victor stretched out his hand, the other party had already reached the "Grey Keep Weekly" in his hand.

This tacit understanding made him smile slightly, although there is also a weekly newspaper in Bishui Port, the time is always two or three weeks in the evening, and for a city like Wudong, two or three weeks is enough to change is amazing.

Sure enough, the headline on the first page of the latest issue of the newspaper instantly caught his eye.

"To the Clouds - The Sky Project is Officially Announced".
