Arthur and Gavin's trip around the world is really not a fancy check-in trip, every place Arthur and Gavin have to deeply investigate the local customs, understand the local culture and history, and understand and analyze the current situation of the local area.

Leaving Southern Africa, I realized how good Southern Africa is.

When they were in Southern Africa, Arthur and Gavin took everything for granted, thinking that people all over the world were living the same lives as Southern Africans.

The result is not at all like this, the current world, Europe has been in a downturn since the world war, the United States is still in a state of barbarism, several other ancient empires are dying, wars are raging, and the people are not living well, as for those colonies and semi-colonies, the situation is also miserable.

It took more than half a year to run around the world, and Arthur was surprised to find that all countries in the world, including Britain and the United States, Southern Africa is actually outstanding, which prompted Arthur to think more deeply and grow up overnight.

"How was the globetrotting, and did you have any special tips?" Roque cares about Arthur very much, and although Ida is very strict with Arthur's education, there are not without examples of counterproduction.

"It doesn't feel good—" Arthur leaned forward as he sat in his chair, his hands crossed on his knees, still a little cramped, "—Gavin and I have been to many places, some of which are beautiful, but the people there are not happy; In some places, there are abundant products, but there are endless wars and people's lives are poor; There are too many ambitious people—"

Arthur still has a summary, but it is not comprehensive.

It is also understandable, after all, he has just come of age, and the three views need to be further improved.

"It's normal to have ambitions, where there are people, there are strife, the world is so big, there are so many resources, some people want to take more, there are people who want to fight-" Roque unconsciously began to instill something again, and the subtle influence was still very great.

In the past, Roque also believed that the world was beautiful, and as long as you worked hard, you could live a happy life.

Until one day, someone can't let more than a billion Chinese live the same life as Americans, otherwise it will be a disaster for the world.

It was only then that Roque realized that the essence of this world was that the law of the jungle was the law of the jungle.

Now, too, although Arthur received an elite education since he was a child, there are some things that cannot be learned in the classroom, which is also the original intention of Roque to approve of Arthur and Gavin's world travel.

On paper, I finally feel shallow, and I never know that I have to do it.

"Is that the same true for us in southern Africa?" Arthur was a little nervous when he asked the question.

"It can also be said that although Africa is rich in resources, it is not enough for everyone to live a happy life like southern Africans, otherwise why would we spend a lot of money to build railways and make great efforts to build industry? It is certainly not for the Congolese to live the same life as the southern Africans, but to maintain the competitiveness of southern Africa, in the whole world. "Roque does not deny the strength of southern Africa, nor does he deny the oppression of neighboring countries by southern Africa, which is the case in the real world.

When Arthur was a child, Ada and Roark could weave a fairy tale world for Arthur.

Now that Arthur has grown up, even if Ada and Roque are reluctant, they must let Arthur know the cruelty of the real world, and to put it bluntly, it is better to bully people than to be bullied.

"During the colonial period of Leopold II, the Congolese were consumed at will as a means of production, and 15 million of the 25 million people died in just a few decades, that is the real people's misery - the current Republic of the Congo and the Kingdom of the Congo, at least the Congolese will no longer be tortured and killed at will, this is progress." Roque is also helpless at times, when the Republic of Congo and the Kingdom of Congo were founded, even if they did not have a chance to become a strong country, they had a chance to become a stable country.

It is a pity that the rulers of the Republic of the Congo and the Kingdom of the Congo are more and more angry than the other, and they drove out the colonizers not for the happiness of the Congolese, but to replace them and continue to enslave and oppress the Congolese.

Therefore, over the years, the Republic of Congo and the Kingdom of Congo have gradually become a resource provider and commodity dumping ground in southern Africa, and the lives of ordinary people have not changed much.

"I understand—" Arthur was a little depressed, young people have their own fantasies about the world, and the process of growing up is very cruel.

"That's good—" Roque was full of expectations for Arthur, this kid is still very smart, their generation has a higher starting point than Roque's generation, and their achievements should be higher.

Of course, this is only an ideal state, and the challenges faced by Arthur and Gavin are no less than those of Roque's generation.

"You have to understand one thing, in this world, you can't make everyone like you, so you only need to be responsible for the people in your territory, so that they can live a good life, and the others are not your responsibility-" Roque reminded Arthur that Cyprus is not a land of right and wrong, not to mention being surrounded by enemies, and the surrounding environment is more sinister than that of southern Africa: "-If you want to take on greater responsibility, then it is easy to do, find a way to expand your territory and turn them into your people, and you can play a greater role." ”

Roque was eager to see what Arthur could do, with Cyprus next to the Asia Minor Peninsula and the Balkans farther away, and plenty of opportunities.

"My abilities are limited, and if I can do as well as you do, I'm satisfied—" Arthur idolizes Roque, a bar that's a bit high.

"Trust me, the sky isn't your limit." Roque encouraged, and this is also a pun.

Just as Roque and Arthur deepen their bond by fishing, thousands of miles away in a remote factory in the city of Milner, preparations are being made for the second test flight of the helicopter.

In order to develop the helicopter, Roque mobilized elite soldiers from major research institutes in Nyasaland and concentrated them in the city of Milna day and night.

After a few months, the team overcame hundreds of technical problems such as engine, materials, and design, and finally carried out the first test flight last month.

Unfortunately, the result was not very good, the helicopter did successfully fly off the ground, but it was not enough to meet Roque's requirements, and after two meters into the air, it had just hovered for less than thirty seconds, and the helicopter was forced to return to the ground due to problems with its rotors.

After communicating with Dr. Marcellus, the second team leader in charge of materials, Diesel decided to redesign the helicopter's power system and use the latest materials that had just been developed by Favaltsteel, and then there was a second test flight.

"God forbid, I hope this time it will work—" Diesel looked tired, although the conditions in Milner City were good, there was still a gap compared to Port Edward.

Diesel is now a millionaire, and he can enjoy life after he has already become famous, but he has to drill into the deep mountains and old forests to develop helicopters, which is also sad.

Rubbing his sore old waist, Diesel swore that this would be the last time.

"We actually succeeded last time, and now we're looking for more performance." Dr. Marcellus was not satisfied, this was a standard technomaniac, short in stature, emaciated, with a surprisingly large head, an old monocle on his face, and a standard Mediterranean hairstyle.

It's like a person who walks out of a museum.

"Gentlemen, we are ready, can we start now?" Igor Ivanovich Sikorsky, who had just joined the team, was in high spirits and it was his dream to join the aviation industry.

This Igor is the same Igor who invented the world's first four-engine airplane.

The world's first four-engine aircraft was invented by the Russian Empire, in 1913, when Igor was the chief designer of the four-engine aircraft.

During the World War, the fall of the Russian Empire, the subsequent civil war in Russia, and the joint intervention of the Allied powers, Igor was unable to realize his dream in Russia and emigrated to the United States.

Two months ago, a headhunter at Christian Human Resources approached Igor, who was teaching at a university, and took him to southern Africa.

Igor finally returned to the field he had never forgotten and was involved in the development of helicopters.

While in Russia, Igor began experimenting with helicopter-like aircraft, but limited to the level of technology at that time in the Russian Empire, Igor failed to realize his dream.

When he arrived in Southern Africa, Igor was at home with countless engineers and almost unlimited money for him to realize his dreams.

"Let's get started—" Diesel couldn't wait, staring at the helicopter parked on the tarmac.

With Roque's participation, the helicopter development process, the starting point was artificially raised to a considerable height.

If Roque had been on the scene, Roque would have been surprised to find that the helicopter parked on the helipad was almost no different from the small helicopter that Roque remembered.

Fully enclosed cabin, rotor with three blades, tail rotor with two blades, smooth appearance, etc.

With the signal from the command station, the pilot started the engine, and the rotors of the helicopter began to rotate.

"Actually, if we can further reduce the weight of the fuselage and remove those unnecessary facilities, our helicopters can fly higher and farther—" Igor still doesn't know enough about the scientific community in southern Africa, and he has the impression that scientific research is still gradual and cannot be achieved overnight.

In 1907, the Frenchman Paul Kearney developed a full-size manned helicopter in the world, and the test flight was successful, and the helicopter was called a "flying bicycle" at that time.

It's 1921, and if the collective strength of southern African researchers is not as good as Paul Kearney's inspiration, then Roque's years of hard work are simply worthless.

In the expectant eyes of everyone, the helicopter flew higher and higher until it hovered about ten meters above the ground.

Ten minutes later, the helicopter landed slowly, this time without any glitches.

Perfect.
