"I see."
Owen accepted the explanation given by Viscount Jarvis.Is this still a magic attack?!
The Far North Ice Sheet is a dangerous place, and it's no wonder that humans rarely set foot there.Immediately afterwards, Owen changed the topic and said to Viscount Jarvis: "Judging from the results of the second joint investigation, there is a high probability that the undead monster will not appear this winter.Even so, it is necessary for the People's Army to do a good job in the defense of the northern city wall, and it must not be slack, you know?
”"Yes, Your Majesty."
Viscount Jarvis stroked his chest and replied, "I will keep the patrol soldiers on high alert when they are on duty. ”"That's right."
Suddenly remembering something, Owen continued: "The flight unit has trained a group of formal pilots who have passed the technical test, you can let them fly the plane north for reconnaissance, share Winnie's tasks, and hone their skills by the way." ”"Understood."
After stroking his chest and saluting again, Viscount Jarvis said expectantly: "The flying unit is finally ready to carry out its mission, and I hope that this air force can perform well." ”"Whether or not the flight units can perform well depends not only on their own ability and technology, but also on whether the commanders can give correct instructions so that the flight units can give full play to their advantages."
Owen reminded."
Your Majesty said yes."
After that, the flight unit took on most of the aerial reconnaissance tasks, taking off almost once a day and flying several times over the Mak Desert to observe whether there were traces of undead monsters on the ground.…… In this way, the days without war lasted for a while, and before you knew it, it was the last month of winter.The Great Mak Desert in the north still showed no signs of undead monsters appearing, and continued to maintain tranquility, but the central square of Dawn City was lively.Because next to the City Hall building, a large clock tower that would become the second landmark of Auroville was finally completed, and many people gathered out of curiosity.The Great Clock Tower is a typical Gothic building, about eighty meters high, with a complex mechanical structure inside, and dials and hands on all sides at the top of the tower, making it easy for people nearby to check the time.At the inauguration ceremony, Owen attended and introduced the role of the Great Clock Tower.Every morning at 6 a.m., 12 p.m., and at 6 p.m., the Great Clock Tower chimes to announce the time to the residents of Auroville.Forget it at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, most people should be sleeping, so it's better not to disturb them.In addition to telling the time, the purpose of building this large clock tower is to educate people about the basics of time, and how to read the hands on a clock.This is very important because the first watch shop in Auroville also opened on this day, selling mechanical watches, pocket watches, clocks and other goods.At the end of the speech, Owen personally advertised the watch shop."
With this clock tower, everyone will be able to look up near the most crowded square and know the exact time at all times.But what if it's not near the square?
Is it possible to judge the approximate time according to the position of the sun as before?
No, you don't. ”As he spoke, Owen raised his left hand, revealing the mechanical watch he was wearing on his wrist."
Because I have this thing – a mechanical watch.It has a dial and hands like a clock tower, which show the time of day.And this mechanical pocket watch, too. ”Owen took out another pocket watch from his bosom, opened the lid of the watch, and showed the crowd the dial inside.Just as the crowd was attracted by the mechanical watch and pocket watch, Owen turned his head to make a look at Marpel, who nodded and walked over with a cloth covering."
Finally, there are mechanical clocks that can be placed at home or hung on the wall as decorations."
Owen lifted the cloth and showed off an elaborate pendulum clock."
Mechanical watches, pocket watches, and clocks are the main items sold in the watch shop that opened today.If you want to manage your time reasonably and efficiently, I recommend you to go to a watch shop and buy it according to your needs. ”After the inauguration, the people of Dawn City were discussing the clock tower and clocks.At this time, students returning home from school are explaining the basics of time to their parents and relatives.The school was one of the first places to set up clocks, and the teachers taught the students how to read the time, and then the students passed on this knowledge to their families.As more and more people learn to read watches, the role of watches becomes more and more important, and it can further drive the sales performance of watch shops.The watch market was gradually opened, and the factories that made clocks and watches could operate stably, and the jobs of workers could be saved.Of course, a delicate object such as a mechanical watch has great potential to become a luxury item at a glance, and after being sold to other countries by a luxury merchant group brought by Chairman Heynt Marcha, it was loved and sought after by many nobles and wealthy merchants.As a result, the watch factory had to expand its production capacity to cope with the increasing number of orders.…… Late winter, Dawn City, north wall.Standing on the city wall, Owen looked at the snow-covered Marka Desert in the distance and fell into deep thought.Throughout the winter of this year, the undead monsters did not attack Dawn City, and neither did the Red Sand Fortress.A winter without war is good, but it is clearly a temporary tranquillity, and the crisis is not over.As long as the Katz disciples are not eliminated for a single day, the northern part of the Dawnlight Kingdom will never usher in true peace and stability."
Your Majesty, this is the easiest winter I've ever had, and at the same time the hardest one I've endured."
Viscount Jarvis on the side spoke his thoughts unhurriedly."
Every winter, I lead my troops to fight the undead monsters to the death, and although I am very saddened by the casualties caused every time, after repelling the undead monsters, I will feel at ease because the city is safe.""
I don't have to fight this winter, but I feel very uneasy, and God knows if when they reappear, will it mean the beginning of jihad?
What is the cost of the KPA to achieve victory?
”There was a moment of silence before Owen responded."
Indeed, we must be prepared to avoid rushing."
Immediately afterwards, he turned to Viscount Jarvis and said, "However, winter is about to pass.Instead of worrying about whether the third jihad will break out, it is better to focus on the most important things at the moment. ”"Your Majesty said yes."
Viscount Jarvis nodded."
We're going to go to the Popang Empire in the early spring of next year, how are the preparations on the Dragon's Tooth Ridge?"
Owen asked.
