Chapter 1004 The World in Your Eyes

The entire refining area uses steam power as much as possible to replace manpower, whether for transportation, unloading, or collection of feed materials. The degree of mechanization is considered to be the highest in Neverwinter.

Because it needs to swallow a large amount of coal and crude oil, the factory area looks like a huge rectangular square when viewed from above. The north-facing end faces the Chishui River and is both a dedicated dock and a coal storage yard. Several conveyor belts linked to steam engines continuously transport coal to the boiler room. The regular black lines running in parallel form a sharp contrast with the surrounding gray cement hardened ground.

The other end of the square is used to store shipping oil from the shoal. The tracks and the trailers that travel between them make up this half of the scene. When coal is scarce, the boiler room can also directly use unrefined oil as a fuel.

The oil storage warehouse located to the west of the fractionation tower is currently half-built. The fortress-like concrete warehouses are lined up in a row. Their rough shapes are incompatible with the residential buildings on the other side of the river, but they have an indescribable beauty. At the same time, Roland knew that its technical content was not low at all, including pressure relief valves, inspection windows, delivery pipes, anti-static equipment... From construction details to usage regulations, without the accumulation of previous chemical plants, it would have been impossible to go so smoothly.

To his great satisfaction, he only made the final review and approval of the overall plan, while the design process was completed jointly by the Ministry of Construction and the Ministry of Chemical Industry. Obviously, they have accumulated a lot of experience in projects such as mines and furnace areas, and they are boldly applying it to new projects. Since there is no unified industry standard in this era, each machine, from lifts to traction winches, needs to have its parameters determined on-site before being handed over to the factory for processing and assembly. Without basic engineering literacy and literacy levels, it will be difficult to achieve just docking and exchanges between the two sides.

After two years of mandatory promotion, universal education has gradually shown results.

As the boiler heats up, the oil, heated to a vaporous state, flows into the fractionating tower—this can be seen as the snow on the tower turns into wisps of water vapor. At this moment, the north wind has basically subsided, and only the drifting snow in the sky is slowly falling. However, the people who came to visit did not move at all. They stared at this beautiful metal tower, exhaled and sprayed various mechanical sprays on the square. The steam coming out echoed each other, and in this cold winter without sunshine, it actually formed a kind of warmth that did not lose the wind at all.

"So beautiful." Edith murmured as she stood on the steel bridge.

This place is almost several miles away from the refining area, so the number of people is much sparse. Occasionally, there are hurried passers-by, who basically want to go to the direction of the tower. In addition to witnessing the birth of another novel thing, they also want to see His Majesty the King. one side. However, when passing by Beidi Pearl, most people would involuntarily glance at her and the people next to her - undoubtedly in their eyes, these two women standing in the snow have an eye-catching look. Heart-warming beauty.

Isn't this just a chimney? Where is the beauty? Cole cursed in his heart, but did not dare to say it out loud, "If you want to see it, why don't you join the City Hall? Master Barov has obviously arranged a better position, and His Majesty also..."

Although the terrain here is higher and the view is wider, the distance is quite far, so the view is not clear. More importantly, this is a good opportunity for colleagues to connect with each other - it doesn't matter what you watch. When all the city hall officials gather together, the point is not to watch. To put it in terms of the aristocratic era, it is like a banquet. The focus is definitely not on the food you eat, but on the people you talk to and the new friends you make.

For her sister who is extremely good at communication, it is impossible for her not to know these truths. She had clearly agreed to let him practice hard in the city hall, but she deliberately missed such an opportunity. Sometimes he really didn't understand what was going on in the other person's head. What.

However, Edith's slight tilt made Cole shut his mouth.

"Of course it's for you, my dear brother," she teased softly, "do you really want to appear in front of other officials like you are now?"

Wait, this is not because of your request!

He just wore those clothes at home, but unexpectedly he was forced to wear them. If an acquaintance saw this, he might have no choice but to jump off the bridge.

Ah! It was all his fault that he was bored. When he was making up and down gestures with his sister's clothes, he was caught by the old sister who came back unexpectedly, which caused him to fall into trouble. Otherwise, how could he compromise so easily.

Cole was about to express a slight protest when a frivolous whistle suddenly came from behind him.

He suddenly felt a burning sensation on his face, and subconsciously pulled on his collar, trying to bury his head.

"Well, that's not the right way to respond."

A hand touched his chin, forcing him to raise his eyes again.

Then Cole saw that Pearl of the North turned around and glanced at the passerby with disdain - the coldness in his eyes that was so cold that even he couldn't help but shudder. She saw the other party take two steps back, no longer daring to say anything, and quickly left her sight.

"Understand?" Edith shrugged, "This is also a test for you."

"...If you were dressed normally, you wouldn't have encountered this kind of thing at all," Cole muttered softly.

"But if you want to participate in political affairs, something irresistible like this will definitely happen. The only thing you can do is to accept it and try to control it." She paused, "Did you think that at that time, When Feike came to the north, did I welcome him with a smile? Everything in the world has different sides. The key lies in which angle you look at it. Besides, you can't help but try on my clothes, and you are actually looking forward to it in your heart. Is this a moment?”

Cole couldn't help but suffocated. His sister could always explain some actions that were completely unreasonable. At this time, choosing to argue would only lead to failure. The only correct way was to stay silent.

As for the last sentence, he will never admit it!

However, is the beauty she mentioned before also due to the difference in angles?

After changing the topic and asking the doubts in his heart, Cole clearly caught a blush on the other person's cheeks.

"Do you still remember what winter is like in Evernight City?"

"Uh..." He was stunned for a moment, and a series of images suddenly appeared in his mind, but there were few images of the city. Most of the images were of warm fireplaces, ales, and dinners. What he could think of were basically indoors. Scenes. After a while, he said uncertainly, "It seems more...peaceful?"

"It's dead silent, as if the whole earth is frozen." Edith looked in the direction of the tower. "I always thought that was the normal state in winter, but now it seems that this is not the case." She spat out. Qi, "What do you see now? The earth is breathing, and these mist are the best proof that it is still active."

"I do not quite understand."

"This proves that nature can be changed by people," Northland Pearl said word by word. "People do not need to look at the sky to live, nor do they need to follow the rules of heaven and earth. They are suppressed by it just because they are weak, but they are so powerful. After a certain level, we can even change the world - isn't this kind of power beautiful enough?"

But Cole saw another, more beautiful thing.

The woman who said these words seemed to radiate an indescribable light, her long green hair undulating against the flying snow, which was better than any natural scene. That rosy color has reduced some of the sharpness in the past, making the fair profile of her face extremely vivid.

A strong impulse suddenly arose in his heart - he wanted to know, what is the world in Edith Kant's eyes like?

"O-Oil is coming out!"

With the cheers near Tower 1, the crowd gradually became commotion.

"What happened?"

"I heard it seems to be oil!"

"For frying pancakes?"

"How could that be possible? The piles of coal in the yard are not fat."

"No matter what it comes from, since it is what His Majesty wants, it must be of great significance."

"So we can celebrate?"

"Yes, long live your Majesty!"

"Long live your Majesty!"

Soon more people joined in the cheers. Even if they didn't know the meaning of this fractionation tower at all, it didn't stop them from sharing the joy at this moment.

The noise spread like a wave, and within just a few minutes, the entire refining area was boiling. Under such momentum, the fearsome Demonic Moon seemed to have lost its former color.

Looking at the black and white smoke pillars rising from the river bank and the silver tower flickering in the smoke and snowflakes, Roland felt filled with a sense of accomplishment.

If the thick smoke entrenched on the northern slope of the mountain represents the results of the coal-iron composite and the first industrial revolution, then the smoke column rising here means that a new era is coming.
