1573 Finally, Here!
Are you impressed? Are you filled with the spirit of the working God in you?
The crowd gathered all had a variety of expressions plastered on their faces as they got out of the buses and headed to the front of the roundabout.
Some couldn't keep their eyes from darting about, while others only left their mouths hung wide open in disbelief.
Yes. By now everyone was used to modern buildings for many years now.
But one thing to note was that though the industries had similar buildings amongst themselves, each Industry had 2 or 3 iconic ones.
The oral and toothpaste industry had a few key buildings designed like a squeeze of toothpaste on a brush.
The paper-making industry had a particular beholding that resembled a giant sticky note from all angles.
One could say within these industries, they all had iconic 'monuments' that made many admirers.
Whether it was Carl or the many others, their attention was first drawn to the giant structure before them.
"Wahhh!... Look at it!"
"Oh, my ancestors! Those construction workers have outdone themselves again."
"Spider... The building is shaped like a spider. So could it be we're here to make bug spray?"
The newly arrived workers were stunned silly.
Bug's spray? Was that why they were here? (?~?)
The exam they took placed heavy emphasis on physics and mechanics. So what's the situation here?
Wasn't Bug's spray more about chemicals?
Erm… who can tell them what this was all about?
(°_°)
.
Everyone swallowed their many questions while advancing to the forefront.
There, they saw his majesty Landon, overseer Tim, and 10 others standing with stoic expressions.
Subconsciously, they quickened their pace.
Landon nodded, seeing the excited but confused.
"Congratulations, you've all been selected as workers for this newly developed industry. Now... I want to ask... What is it that you think this industry is for?"
Several people raised their hands, and Landon gestured to a girl in red glasses.
"Amelia Fullbuster, reporting to your majesty... As per your question, the newspapers, radio stations, and Tv ads only stated the job requirements and not what the actual job entailed. However..."
The lady paused, adjusting her glasses. "Your majesty, from the requirements, my guess is we are here to build things."
Many nodded in agreement.
They couldn't have said it better... Though the giant spider building behind his majesty made them second guess what this whole thing was about.
The entire industry was a mystery wrapped in a doughnut.
What exactly were they doing here? And why so secretive?
The corners of Landon's mouth raised in a broad grin.
"Metal... Zinc, stainless steel, aluminum... You name it... I take it everyone knows the basic properties and strengths of these?"
Yes. They bobbed their heads, watching Landon lift a cutlery piece high.
Eh? What did he want to do with it?
"A fork... A common everyday, essential tool. Many of you can bend it and twist it to change its appearance... But it's not the fork I'm here to discuss, but the material is made from. ---Stainless steel.
Everyone listens attentively, starting with widened eyes at the fork as though waiting for a magic trick to unfold.
Landon swayed the fork playfully. " stainless steel... General properties, Go."
Swish!
Several hands went high again. Enobasis in the word 'General properties.'
Once again, Landon gestured towards many raised hands.
"Stainless steel is very strong even at high temperatures."
"Resistant to start and wash in dishwashers.
"Resistant to rust/corrosion!"
"High tensile strength, hardness, yield strength, Durability, and very malleability."
"Bingo!" Landon was happy with the answers he had.
"Take 304 steel, for example. Already, its ultimate Tensile strength is 505MPa... And its Hardness is at 70 metric... So what will happen if we boost these numbers times 2? Or maybe 10?"
.
Boom!
An explosion went off in everyone's mind as they looked at Landon in shock.
Was he joking?
Good, heavens… How was that even possible?
No. No!
If the strength factor went up that much, won't the modulus of elasticity keeping the iron together also fall apart?
All properties were correlated to one another!
If they boosted the strength so much, the backlash would be incredible.
It can't be done. It can't be done... This was what common sense had them believe after years of studying in the academy, as well as working here in the Lower region for some.
Landon smiled, seeing their jaws drop in disbelief.
Yes... That's right.
The Metal Enhancer was for sure a thing of advanced worlds far from that of his former world, Earth.
Even those on Earth would swear to the heavens that such a thing was fantasy.
Of course, one other thing to note was that even though the metal enhancer would be made, basic appliances like forks and kitchen knives would stay the same.
The enhancer was only for steel frames, planes, ships, building rods, military gadgets, and other public needs.
Why would he enhance a fork so it would be sharper for people to use and kill themselves with?
.
Everyone was already blown away by Landon's insane idea of a metal enhancer. But when they later heard of him talking about a high-hoer mechanical builder, they were suddenly lost for words.
Alright.
Now, they understood where the spiders came in. But what's more, the Spiders would have something in them called an anti-Gravitational belt?
If the spiders could fly in this way, does that mean they too would one day fly about in Baymard?
(°π°)
Crazy! Crazy!
Everyone felt the world spinning around them the more they listened.
No wonder the job was kept secret.
The group flowed his majesty in, changing their attire within the 1st sector, before stepping through the 2nd gated sector after showing their IDs one after the other.
It was official
The welcoming Session is over. And now, it was time for the real work to begin.
Landon had a broad smile on his face.
He was most excited about the Anti-gravitational belt.
(^v^)
To infinity and Beyond!
