Chapter 1004 (1/2)
The s zone was the most industrialized area in Neverwinter The entire production process, fro raw ines
The plant processed a large quantity of crude oil and coal every day It covered a huge rectangular area, with the port and a coal storage yard on the north side of the Redwater River Several conveyor belts, driven by steaines, continuously fed coal to the boiler room The parallel black lines on the conveyor belts exhibited a sharp contrast with the gray concrete pavened to store and process the crude oil froe warehouses on the west side of the fractionator was now half-con of the residential buildings across the river, the warehouses stood in a solid line like ily attractive Despite their plain exterior, the warehouses were installed with advanced equipns such as decompression valves, inspection s, carrier pipes, antistatic devices, etc As the construction teaained a lot of experience from the construction of the cheone very smoothly
Roland was extremely satisfied that the Ministry of Construction and the Ministry of Industry had done all the design work All he had done was the final review and approval Needless to say, the staff of these two Ministries had learned a lot fro and furnace projects They had apparently applied what they had learned to this new project Since Roland had yet to establish a set of industry standards, the workers had to confirm the parameters of each individual machine or part before it was sent to the plant forThis showed that the workers had already developed reading and writing skills and learned the basics of engineering; otherwise, it would be hard for the two departments to communicate effectively
Two years after its ireat success to show the effectiveness of Roland's mandatory universal education
As the temperature of the boiler increased, vaporized oil flowed into the fractionation tower and , but the snow still persisted Nevertheless, spectators gazed at this beautifulTheir breathejected fro up the cold winter air
”So beautiful,” Edithzone was a few e, so there were fewer spectators here, only soh tower to witness the neonder andHowever, almost everyone slowed as they rushed past the Pearl of the Northern Region and the girl next to her Apparently, the two ladies in the snow attracted a lot of attention
”Isn't that just a chiruo with the people from city hall? Sir Barov reserved a spot for you, and His Majesty”
Although the bridge was at a high point in the city, giving a wide view, it was too far away for theet a close look As all the officials fro to see the tower, it would have been a perfect opportunity to netith Edith's co-workers Essentially, the whole point of this event was to connect with people instead of appreciating the nificence of the tower Just like a first-class banquet, nobles didn't care as much about the food, but about who they dined with
As a seasoned diplomat, Eidth should have known the trick better than anyone else She had promised to help Cole build his relationshi+p with other city hall officers, yet she had just let such an excellent opportunity slip through the cracks So his sister's thinking
But seeing Edith purse her lips, Cole sensibly shut up
”Because of you, my dear little brother” Edith jested in a soft voice ”Do you really want to appear in front of all the other officials in this outfit?”
Hold on, youdeal to dress up like a girl at home, but Cole had not expected that he would be forced to o outside If some of his friends saw hie
Alas! Cole could only bla on Edith's clothes, his sister had caught hi that Edith would tell his little secret to someone else, Cole had no choice but to comply
When Cole was about to, somebody whistled behind him
As his face flushed red, he instantly lowered his head
”Well, this isn't the right way to handle this kind of situation”
Edith grabbed Cole by the chin, forcing her brother to raise his head
Next Cole saw the Pearl of the Northern Region sweep her gaze over the stranger with the condescension and nonchalance of an uninterested aristocrat It was a glance that froze a person to the bone Cole shuddered at his sister's icy look The stranger stumbled back Without a word, he scurried off and disappeared froed ”This is also a test for you”
” If I earing my usual outfit, I wouldn't have had such trouble” Cole s you'll encounter in the future, sos that youThe only thing you can do is accept them and learn to control them” Edith paused for a moment and then went on, ”Do you think I sincerely wanted to welcoht into the Northern Region? Every coin has two sides The key lies in how you view it Besides, I bet you like the gar, otherwise you wouldn't have tried on ht?”
Cole stiffened Edith could always justify her behavior like it was a matter of course He kneouldn't stand a chance if he tried to argue with his sister, so he kept silent
But he would never admit to her last statement!
