Not far from the Governor's Palace of Nai'an, there stands a tall square building.
It has six floors.
Although in later generations, this was nothing, in Nai'an City, it was still considered a handful. However, this building was built extremely well.
With just one glance, you can clearly distinguish it from the simple and bright high-rise buildings in Naider City.
A wall several feet high separates this place from other places. There is also a barbed wire fence set up on the wall. The barbed wire fence is also covered with sharp barbs, making it intimidating.
From time to time, you can hear the barking of dogs coming from within the high wall.
If you are familiar with dogs, you can easily tell from the barking sounds that those dogs are all tall and ferocious Rhodesian Ridgebacks, also commonly known as lion hounds.
Through the iron gate, you can see elite soldiers wearing black SS uniforms and holding muskets patrolling back and forth behind the wall.
The defense here is so tight that it is even worse than the Governor's Mansion.
This is the headquarters of Naian Venture Capital, the information center of Naian.
Venture capital companies are like a giant spider, spreading its web across the entire continent. And here is the center of the web.
No matter what disturbances there are on the continent, even if there is a slight change, it will be transmitted to this intelligence center as soon as possible through the fine threads on the spider web.
Ever since we received the news of the Demon Tribe's landing, this place has entered a wartime state.
The lights in the building were brightly lit all night, and all staff canceled all holidays and rest, and were ordered to gather together and be on call.
The latest information is sent out every day from nearly a hundred intelligence stations across the continent, and is transmitted to this building through Feiying Tietong Railway News, where it is then summarized.
Those staff must analyze, interpret, classify and organize the information obtained in the shortest possible time, and then hand it over to experts in a certain field.
After the war started, all the intelligence stations in various places knew that the situation was urgent and were afraid of missing any important information. Therefore, all the situations they could hear, see, and come into contact with were transmitted to them in one go.
The various attitudes of local nobles towards the invasion of demons and their performances.
How do ordinary people feel about this?
The rise and fall of local prices.
Mobilization of garrison troops.
Dogs bark a lot in the middle of the night.
Local weather conditions, meteorological conditions, wind strength...
All kinds of information are pouring in like a flood, and all the staff at the headquarters are exhausted. They are as tired as dogs, and their tongues are hanging out.
Many people don't even go home, but simply make a floor in the office, fall down to rest when they have nothing to do, and get up to work as soon as there is work.
It was because of their non-stop efforts day and night that Lorraine, who was thousands of miles away from the battlefield in Naian, was able to understand the situation on the battlefield very well.
In late summer, the office buildings of venture capital firms are extremely hot and stuffy.
Although the large wooden barrels in the corridor and the room were filled with ice cubes, it was still difficult to drive away the hot summer air.
At this moment, the door on the ground floor connecting the passage to the back house of the Governor's Mansion suddenly opened with a "clatter".
A pair of high-heeled leather shoes hit the marble floor heavily, making a series of 'click-click' sounds. The sound instantly covered up the noise in the entire building and kept echoing in the building. It sounded very heart-stopping.
Everyone couldn't help but raise their heads from their desks and look in the direction of the sound.
I saw a group of women wearing all kinds of fashions walking out of it in a majestic manner.
The staff running along the corridor suddenly saw a bright color and stopped in surprise - in this staid and serious place, it is not easy to see colorful things besides black and gray.
Even the female staff of venture capital companies wear dark professional suits all year round.
The first thing the agents saw was a group of beautiful women. They all had their own charms, and they were as beautiful as goddesses coming out of myths.
It's rare to see one on a daily basis, let alone see them all at once.
But immediately, these agents showed horrified expressions on their faces, as if they had seen something terrifying. They immediately jumped to the wall to hide, hurriedly buttoned up their open shirts, and watched obediently as the group of women walked past them.
Because they are all the girlfriends of Governor Lorraine.
Catherine and the others walked straight to the Joint Staff Conference Hall with familiarity.
The door of the conference hall was open, and people were constantly coming in and out. From a distance, the buzzing of people could be heard coming from inside.
When Catherine and the others came to the door, a burst of hot air hit their faces, mixed with an indescribable unpleasant smell. Catherine and the others couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses. The girls frowned and looked inside, but there was really nothing there.
Have the courage to walk in.
A group of men stayed indoors in the dog days of summer and smoked non-stop. The smell was quite lethal. Of course, they were used to it and didn't feel uncomfortable at all, but Catherine, who had just walked in from the fresh air outside,
They just can't stand it.
They stood in front of the door, and everyone who came in and out had to wait obediently at the door.
Belen, who was busy, noticed that the boss ladies were blocking his door in an aggressive manner. He quickly put aside his work and hurriedly came over to greet them. He smiled and nodded in greeting and said: "Why are you here, Your Highness? If you need anything, just ask me to come over."
"
"Where is Lorraine?" Catherine asked directly with a pretty face.
Belen was stunned for a moment, then cautiously asked: "What? Didn't the Governor ask you for leave when he went out?"
Catherine frowned her beautiful brows and said gloomily: "He said he was going out to get something. It's been half a month, why haven't you seen anyone yet?
There is a table full of official work at home and I don’t care.”
"Well," Belen spread his hands helplessly and said, "Your Excellency, you may be too busy at Boeing's manufacturing plant..."
Catherine and Adele looked at each other. Although they knew that Feiying Group had such a branch, they didn't know where it was exactly.
"Take us." Catherine ordered decisively.
Half an hour later, Catherine came down from her private war fortress, looked at the empty land and the tall monotonous factory building not far away, and said blankly: "He is here?"
It’s too remote and desolate here~!
At this time, a train pulled out of the factory with a rumbling sound.
A gust of dry and hot wind blew up the loose soil on the ground and floated into the sky.
Chairman Leo, who followed, wiped the sweat off his face and said, "The conditions here are quite difficult."
But Uncle Bai was hiding in the war fortress, unwilling to come down.
Belen led them into the factory. The air inside the huge factory was much cooler than outside.
As if Xiaobai had been saved, he rushed into the factory with a roar and ran around like he was having fun, looking at everything that was new.
Chairman Leo looked at the factory building, which was taller than ten floors, and couldn't help but exclaimed in wonder, and said distressedly: "How much does this cost? The Maple Leaf Danlin is built in the open air..."
Catherine and the others ignored Leo's thoughts and saw Lorraine at a glance.
I saw him and a group of people in white coats discussing around a strange cylinder.
Belen jogged a few steps, stepped forward and pulled Lorraine, and whispered: "My lord."
Lorraine suddenly woke up. When he turned his head, he saw his girlfriends looking at him eagerly at the door. He left the people around him and went up to them happily. He said with a smile: "Why are you here?"
Catherine glared at him angrily and said, "You haven't been home for half a month, so we can't come and have a look. It was that vixen who seduced you away."
"Half a month?" Lord Lorraine was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "Is it that long?"
The girls nodded at the same time and stared at their boyfriends with resentful eyes.
Lorraine said sarcastically: "I'm so busy. Why do I feel like it's only been a few days? I thought I'd go back after a week."
Adeling held Lorraine's arm distressedly, touched the thick beard on his face, and said, "I see you have lost weight."
Lorraine grabbed Adeline's soft and smooth little hand and said with a smile: "We are so busy day and night, just in time to lose weight. Let's see our results."
As he spoke, he led Catherine and the others to the strange cylinder in the middle.
"Is this the plane you're talking about?" Adele stepped forward curiously and walked around it.
This strange war fortress is pointed at both ends and thick in the middle. It is more than ten meters long and more than two meters in diameter at its widest point. It looks like an enlarged shuttle.
And the wooden outside is very smooth and has no protrusions.
There are only two small doors on both sides and a few small windows of unknown purpose.
There are glass windows in the upper and lower parts. Through the windows, you can see a narrow space inside, with the console and seats stuffed inside.
Compared to the tall frame of a standard war fortress parked aside, this can only be regarded as an inconspicuous little thing.
"This is the fuselage," Lorraine looked at the results of half a month with satisfaction, and patted the smooth surface, and the wooden shell made a crisp sound.
Lorraine's face lit up with excitement, and she was as proud as a child showing off his toys, and said: "You guys came just in time, just in time for the test flight~!
We have just completed the power system and weapon system, and we will see if it can fly.
If it can take off successfully, the next step is to install the wings and tail, improve the operating system, and then finalize production."
Catherine only glanced at the airplane Lorraine mentioned. She didn't understand these things anyway, as long as they could be made and used, Catherine still believed in Lorraine. Her boyfriend relied on these weird machines.
A prosperous home.
Catherine focuses on the people around her, and people are always more important than products.
Apart from glancing at them when they entered, the scientific researchers never looked at them again and focused on the work at hand.
Master Ohid was also there, but he was burying his head and concentrating on carving a magic circle on a stone pier. He was completely oblivious to the noise here, but he didn't even raise his head.
The person helping him was a petite girl with a pretty face and full of youthful air. However, her hair was also messy and the braid was fixed with a pen. She obviously had no time to take care of herself.
Catherine was stunned for a moment, but soon recognized the little maid named Lindy.
In stark contrast to the clean floor in the factory, these people were wearing dirty clothes.
The black and white coat became hard.
Especially the chief engineer named Hicks, whose bad smell could be smelled even from a distance.
All the girls are extremely clean, and they are not noticeable even when they are far away. Once they get close, the air here makes them feel breathless, more out of breath than a venture capital company.
Hicks, who looked almost like a lunatic, walked up with a smile, but his lewd expression frightened Catherine and the others to death. They retreated three feet away, and they were all far away in an instant, hiding behind Lorraine.
Hicks's little triangular eyes shone with excitement. He rubbed his hands together and said eagerly: "Sir, everything is ready. Let's get started."
Lorraine nodded, looking at the simple-looking wooden prototype, his heart became eager, and said: "Then let's get started."
Hicks smiled with his yellow teeth, turned around to face hundreds of researchers, raised his arms and shouted excitedly: "Gentlemen, please remember this day, uh... By the way, what day is it today?"
What’s the number?”
The researchers looked at each other. They had been isolated from the world for too long and had long forgotten the outside world. Time, date, and festivals were meaningless to them.
A pleasant chuckle came from behind Lorraine.
"September 16th." Catherine, who still couldn't stand it, reminded her loudly.
"Yes, 83... five years, 835, September 16th," Hicks waved his arms to the sky. Fortunately, he had not forgotten that year now.
Hicks shouted: "This is a historic moment. We will witness the birth of a new weapon that can change war.
Now, test flight~!"
With a sound of iron chains rattling, a pair of pulleys pulled the ceiling of the factory building, slowly opening it to both sides, revealing the bright sunny sky above the head, and the sunlight poured in unbridled.
The strong light stung Lorraine's eyes, which instantly hurt. He raised his hand to block his eyes. He had not seen the sun for too long.
Leo and Catherine were also amazed by the convenient design of the movable roof.
As a qualified capitalist, Chairman Leo rubbed his chin and began to think about how to learn this trick and sell it for money.
A mage wearing a weird orange-red one-piece flight suit walked out of the crowd. He walked briskly to the prototype. At the same time, he waved to everyone frequently.
Lord Luo couldn't help but curl his lips: No one paid any attention to this poor guy, and he still showed off like a fool.
With the help of everyone, he clumsily climbed onto the upper part of the prototype using his hands and feet, sat down in the small space behind the glass window, fastened his seat belt with a solemn expression, and then gestured to Hicks.
Ready.
Hicks extended his thumb and pointed at the pilot inside.
The pilot nodded heavily and put his hands on the console.
Seeing that everything was ready, Lord Lorraine couldn't help but make a "gudong" sound, swallowed nervously, and subconsciously grasped the small hand of the person next to him.
Whether his hard work over the past half month would succeed or not depends on this, and his heart was in his throat.
From the magic circle to the console, everything has been redesigned. Oshed himself said that it is easy to make the magic circle bigger, but it is very difficult to make it small.
Especially if it is small enough to fit into this prototype, it is even more difficult.
The floating array even changed from a vertical obelisk to a horizontal cylinder, which was an earth-shaking change in structure.
No one dares to guarantee that there is nothing wrong with it, not even Ohid, who carved the magic circle himself.
In fact, Ohid was the most nervous among all of them. The old guy stared at the prototype so intently that he almost forgot to breathe. This was related to his reputation as the number one space magician and could not be missed.
At this moment, a lot of flight accidents about test flight crashes suddenly popped up in Lorraine's mind. Words such as plane crashes and fatalities, ejection failures and so on were so uncontrollable that she couldn't bear it.
This made him feel even more uneasy, and he unconsciously grasped the warm and smooth little hand in his palm. That little hand also tightly grasped Lorraine's generous palm.
The pilot acted very calmly - this is the magician of space magic, made by Master Oshed himself. If what he makes is not good, then nothing in the world will be good.
Besides, I had already agreed before the test flight that if there was an accident, safety would come first and I would jump when I should. Anyway, as a magician, as long as the distance to the ground is not too low and you have enough casting time when you fall, you will fall to your death even if you want to.
It's difficult.
The mage took a deep breath under everyone's gaze and poured mana into the console.
The prototype trembled slightly, its body swayed left and right a few degrees, and then became motionless again.
"Hey~!" The crowd let out a burst of exclamation, and everyone present was excited and stared at the prototype without blinking.
The pilot felt that he didn't pull up once, as if he was very embarrassed. Especially when a large group of beautiful girls outside were looking at him intently. The mage in the cockpit blushed, then gritted his teeth, as if he was risking his life, and raised his arms.
He pressed it hard.
There was a low buzzing sound from inside the fuselage, and the prototype swayed suddenly. Under everyone's expectant eyes, it swayed slightly off the ground and slowly rose upward inch by inch.
A few minutes later, with everyone watching, it flew over the open roof of the factory building and jumped into the air. Then it drew a diagonal line, and with a whoosh, it flew into the distance like a sharp arrow. In the blink of an eye, it was
Disappeared without a trace.
"Successful~!" Hicks raised his arms and yelled wildly, throwing away the notebook in his hand.
Being able to fly means that the biggest problem has been successfully solved, and the rest are not problems.
This represented a decisive success in the development of fighter jets, and the Boeing Aircraft Manufacturing Plant created history.
Lorraine also shouted excitedly, hugged the person next to her excitedly, and kissed her heavily.
There is no better way to celebrate such exciting times.
Before a short exclamation could be heard, the girl's small mouth was blocked by Lorraine's big mouth.
But the other party's reaction was very jerky, and it took Lorraine a long time to pry her teeth open and tangle with her smooth tongue.
The beauty in her arms soon hung softly on Lorraine's body. Her body became hotter and hotter, and her breathing became more and more rapid...
After a passionate wet kiss, when Lorraine let go of the girl, she was almost out of breath. Her face was flushed, her eyes were blurred, her mouth was opening and closing, and she was breathing quickly and in a low voice. Her expression was particularly seductive.
people.
"Cousin, cousin~!" Lord Lorraine looked at the charming beauty in his arms and was immediately shocked.
