Release that Witch Chapter 1004: The world in your eyes
Whether the entire refining area is transporting, unloading, or collecting materials, steam power is used as much as possible to replace manpower. The degree of mechanization is the highest in Neverwinter City.
Because it needs to swallow a large amount of coal and crude oil, the factory area looks like a huge rectangular square from above. The north-facing end is facing Scarlet Water River, which is both a dedicated dock and a coal yard. Several conveyor belts linked with steam engine continuously transported coal to the boiler room. The regular black lines running in parallel formed a sharp contrast with the surrounding gray cement hardened ground.
The other end of the square is used to store marine oil from the shoals. The tracks and trailers make up this half of the picture. In the absence of coal, the boiler room can also directly use the unrefined oil as a burner.
The oil storage warehouse on the west side of the fractionation tower is now half-built. The fortress-like concrete warehouses are lined up. Its rough shape is incompatible with the small residential buildings on the other side of the river, but it has an indescribable beauty. . At the same time, Roland knows that its technical content is not low at all, pressure relief valves, inspection windows, ducts, anti-static equipment ... from the construction details to the use regulations, without the accumulation of the previous chemical plant, it is flat that the impossible is so smooth.
He was quite pleased that he only made the final review and approval of the overall plan, and the middle design process was completed by Ministry of Construction and Ministry of Chemistry. Obviously, the mine, furnace area and other projects allow them to accumulate a lot of experience and boldly apply it to new projects. Since there is no unified industry standard in this era, every machine from the elevator to the traction winch needs to determine the parameters on the spot before it is processed and assembled in the factory. Without basic engineering literacy and literacy, it is difficult to achieve communication on both sides.
After two years of compulsory promotion, universal education has gradually shown its effectiveness.
As the temperature of boiler keeps rising, the oil that has been heated to steam flows into the fractionation tower --. This can be seen by the snow on the tower turning into a stream of water vapor. At this moment, the north wind has basically subsided, and only the snow falling slowly in the sky, but the people who came to visit are unmoved. They stare at this beautiful metal high tower, exhaling breath and various machinery on the square. The steam echoes remotely, and in the cold winter without the sun, a kind of warmth that does not fall into the wind is formed.
...
"So beautiful." Edith stood on the steel bridge and muttered.
This is almost a few miles away from the refining area, so the figures are much thinner. Occasionally, there are people passing by in a hurry, and basically want to go in the direction of high tower. In addition to witnessing the birth of another novelty, it is also to see His Majesty The King side. However, when passing by Pearl of the Northern Lands, most people will involuntarily look at her and the people next to her -- undoubtedly in their eyes, these two women standing in the snow have exciting beauty .
Isn't this just a chimney? Where is the beauty? Kohl slandered, but he did not dare to say, "Why don't you go with City Hall if you want to see it? Adult Barov clearly arranged a better position, Your Majesty ..."
Although the terrain is high and the field of vision is wide, the distance is not so good. What's more important is that this is a good opportunity for peers to connect with each other. It doesn't matter what -- sees. All City Hall officials gather together, and the meaning is not about watching. Changing to the noble era is like a banquet. The focus is definitely not on the food you eat, but on the person you are talking to and which new partners you have met.
For the sister who is very good at communication, she does n’t know the truth of impossible. She said that she was allowed to hone at City Hall, but this opportunity was intentionally absent. Sometimes he did n’t understand the other person ’s head. What do you think.
However, Edith's slight skimming made Kohl shut up.
"Of course for you, my dear brother," she whispered softly, "Do you really want to appear in front of other officials like you are now?"
Wait, it ’s not because of your request!
Just wear those clothes at home, but I was not expected to be forced to wear them out. If I am seen by an acquaintance, I'm afraid he can only jump off the bridge.
Aaah! I blame myself for being bored. When I took my sister's clothes up and down, I was bumped into by the elder sister who suddenly came back, resulting in the handle being dropped, otherwise how could he easily compromise.
Kohl was about to protest a little bit, and suddenly there was a frivolous whistle behind him.
He felt a rush of heat on his face, and pulled the collar subconsciously, trying to bury his head.
"Well, this is not the right answer."
Holding one hand against his chin forced him to raise his gaze again.
Then Kohl saw that Pearl of the Northern Lands turned around and scornfully swept away the coldness in the eyes of the -- who was thousands of miles away, and he couldn't help shivering. I saw the other party take two steps backwards, no longer dare to say a word, quickly walked out of her sight.
"Understand?" Edith shrugged. "This is also a test for you."
"... If you dress normally, you won't encounter such a thing at all," whispered Kohl.
"But if you want to participate in politics, something irresistible like this will happen. The only thing you can do is to accept it and try to control it." She paused, "Do you think it was When Timothy entered northern region, I smiled and greeted him willingly? Everything in the world has different aspects, the key is which way you look at it. Besides, you can't help but try my clothes, and you are actually looking forward to this moment Right? "
Kohl can't help but stifle, my sister can always say something that is totally unreasonable. At this time, choosing to argue will only fail, and the correct way is to remain silent.
As for the last sentence, he will never admit it!
But is the beauty she said earlier because of the difference in perspective?
Staggering the topic and asking the doubts in the heart, Kohl clearly captured a touch of ruddy on the other's cheek.
"Do you remember what the winter of Eternal Night City looks like?"
"Uh ..." He froze slightly, a series of pictures suddenly appeared in his mind, but there were very few cities in it. Most of the images stayed on the warm fireplace, ale and dinner. It's all indoor scenes. After a while, he wasn't sure, "looks ... quieter?"
"It's dead silence, as if the entire land is frozen." Edith looked at the direction of high tower. "I always thought that that was the normal state in winter, but now it seems that this is not the case." She confided. Qi, "What are you seeing now? The earth is breathing, and these mists are the best proof that it is still active."
"I don't quite ... understand."
"This proves that nature can be changed by people," Pearl of the Northern Lands said, "People do not need to look at the sky to live, nor do they need to follow the rules of heaven and earth. It is suppressed only because of their own weakness and strength. After a certain degree, we can even transform the power of the world --, isn't it beautiful enough? "
Kohl, however, sees something more beautiful.
The woman who said these words seemed to emit an indescribable light, and her long blue hair was undulating against the snow, better than any natural scene. That touch of ruddy reduced a bit of the previous sharpness, making the white side face extremely vivid.
A strong impulse suddenly rises in his mind. --, he wants to know, what is the world in the eyes of Edith Kant?
...
"Come out, get out!"
With the cheering of Tower nearby, the crowd gradually became agitated.
"What's going on?"
"I heard it seems to be oil!"
"What is used for fried bread?"
"How can it be, coal is piled up in the field, not fat."
"Regardless of what it produces, since it is what Your Majesty wants, it must be extraordinary."
"So we can celebrate?"
"Yes, long live Your Majesty!"
"Long live Your Majesty!"
Many more joining cheers soon, even if they are completely unclear about the meaning of this fractionation tower, it will not prevent them from sharing this happiness at this moment.
The noise is spreading like a wave. Within a few minutes, the entire refining area will be boiling. Under such a momentum, the intimidating Months of Demons seems to have faded its old colors.
Looking at the black and white plume of smoke rising from the river bank, and the silver high tower flickering in the smoke and snowflakes, Roland is full of indescribable sense of accomplishment.
If the thick smoke on the Northern Slope Mountain represents the fruits of coal-iron compounding and the first industrial revolution, then the smoke plume here means that a new era is coming.
